Lethal vs Hard

[It´sAllAimAssist]

Which one you doing?
I already finished the game on hard on ps4 when it came out.
Trying Lethal now but I´m thinking about dropping back down to hard.

Not that lethal is that much more difficult once you get some gear and unlocks but the margins just become so small and the enemies so aggressive I find myself just picking the safer option which is usually throwing something at them first or running around a lot to make sure they don´t attack at the same time which is an instant death. Because I don´t want to have to start over for every little mistake.

Even when I do use the sword I kinda miss the cling cling back and forth a bit..
I don´t really see much difference in how I would play Hard and trying to avoid every hit vs lethal. the difference just lethal penalizing a mistake much harder or am I missing something?
(if you like lethal that´s great I´m not saying it´s bad, just wondering if I´m missing something in the appeal of it I haven´t considered, enemies are so aggressive in lethal I find 3 guys at once without tools seems impossible )

Medium, i'm new on this game. Perhaps if i feel like doing a NG+ i will choose something more challenging

From what I remember from PS4, lethal is easier than hard.
Yes, you die faster, but so do the enemies, meaning that you can cut down brutes in 2/3 hits compared to the 5/6 that hard needs.

Is there achievement for any difficulty?

I'm playing on hard and it feels like the perfect difficulty.

Yeah , I can't imagine doing 3 guys at once on lethal. They will slice eventually and sometimes there's like 10 of them. Without something to throw, it would be a funny situation.

Yep, this exactly. On medium it's more difficult than the AC RPGs but still very forgiving.

If this works out to be as good as I think it will be, I will try lethal on NG+.

Playing hard, first time playing it. I doubt I will play at lethal.

No there is no difficulty achievement. However, I haven't looked into if there is a special item you get for playing on lethal.

Usually any game where you can change the difficulty after starting does not have achievements for completing on different difficulties. Some games get around this by having a message saying:

"If you start on this difficulty, you will not be able to change it without restarting. Are you sure you want to continue?"

At that point it's safe to assume there's an achievement for playing on that specific difficulty/mode.

Easy obviously. I tried Medium for few hours and it just got too annoying. But then again, i play most games on easy (unless it's extremely easy), then i might change it to medium. I generally don't like when stuff gets too annoying, because most of the time i just want to chill and relax.
