Hard

[rarestMeow]

hello,

first six difficulties - Liebermode, Too Easy, Very Easy, Easy, Remiedial and Average - are just a cakewalk, really not recommended; not only you deal a great damage to enemies and they do nothing, but game also changes enemies' weapon to melee weapons

next four difficulties - Aggressive, Hard, Very Hard, Manic - are better choice for those who never played that game before. the main difference in them is a ratio of how much damage player does to how much damage he receives. overly, it depends on you fps skills and how good you with aiming and using maps' layout. pick any of those four

the last five difficulties are not beginner-friendly and just for sake of challenge
1) Hestonworld - bystanders have better weapons, like shotguns
2) Insane-o - bystanders now have even better weapons like rocket launchers
3) They Hate Me - bystanders literally hate player and will shot him on sight, they have less powerful weapons than in Hestonworld & Insane-o tho
4) POSTAL - "They Hate Me" + "Hestonworld" + you can save only once per map
5) Impossible - "They Hate Me" + "Insane-o" + you can save only once per map + no healing items

On "They Hate Me" difficulty, some pedestrians will attack you if you harm them first, & cops in general will attack you no matter what, so find alot of body armour for your sake.

there's also custom difficulty if you do the konami code in the difficulty menu

Ok... how do I turn down the sensitivity for looking around? It moves a bit too fast for me.

I see. Thank you for your cooperation.

Ok turns out the Controller Scheme or whatever it forces you to use is different from the one it shows in game, so it was very confusing for me. I ended up using the Controller Configuration that automatically configs with the in game controller setup and stuff.
