Is "No Hope" really hard for most players?

[FriendlyFire]

I started playing RE6 again these days on no hope (haven't played for months), but nobody joins the game. I had to change difficulty to professional and finally a player joined the game. I mean, I'm not a PRO at playing but... Come on! Where's the challenge? Besides the game is even more funny in this way, isn't it?

It's not really the difficutlty, it's that no one really plays the PC version.

You're right but not entirely. As I said, when I changed difficulty, players start joining the game. I just remember a guy who joined when I was playing on no hope few days ago, just played a chapter and he left, lol.

Well No Hope IS harder than the other modes. The number of players is directly related to interest, and especially if the environment isn't competetive, then what's the point of working so hard in a multiplayer medium?

Besides, do you really expect someone to want to play No Hope with someone named Friendly Fire? Really. -_-

It's a lot easier than pro in re5. In re5, one hit and you're screwed. Don't forget about dumb AI-partner who wastes all ammo you give to it and most of the times plays the role of dead weight like ashley in re4.
But here in re6 you have a chance to run away after getting slapped, dying state doesn't make you helpless at all, and - WOW - AI-partner is a cheater. Tons of ammunition and healing items. Good conditions and environments for casual players. Everything for you.
No Hope isn't hard, really. No more than three deaths per chapter at first playthrough.
Sorry for my bad English, I'm russian. Hide! =)

I agree, I'm just waiting for Capcom to patch RE5 to steamworks, I really wanna play it on PRO again, as you said, it's harder than "no hope" in RE6.

No problem, I don't speak english as good as I wanted, indeed.

Yes, it's precisely RE5 I was remembering. Although I did do it. Eventually. The extra mission with Jill was impossible for me, though, even on the 2nd to hardest level, even with a human partner.

Still maintaining that I think less people play No Hope because of limited interest in the game as a whole. The harder difficulties in general are always going to be the games to see the least traffic regardless of the game, but that's just my opinion.

If you're playing this game's competetively and NOT cooperatively than you're really doing it wrong.

This difficulty disabled my skills which I found out by surprise after chapter 3 of Chris' campaign. I made it to that timed arena in the underwater lab in chapter 5, then gave up. That scene I found particularly difficult even on Veteran difficulty. Now I've got to try Sherry's campaign I suppose before heading back to it.

I remember when RE6 came out for cosoles, "No hope" was harder than now, then it got patched to be easier some months later, they reduced the difficulty by adding a QTE assist option and making enemies easier to kill.
