European Extreme still a thing?

[Reck]

Been away from Metal Gear since 2. Is it still around? Is it in TPP?

There is no difficulty setting on the first playthrough.

I really hate that. IMO there should be a "Hard" option on the first playthrough. Liked GZs hard mode.

You had to play normal first so it was the same thing.

The reason is "addaptive difficulty". You know, soldiers start ot wear helmets etc. depending on your playstyle.

So, is it? Or at least having a GAME OVER after an alert an option?

Some missions need to be done without alerts. I believe there was a challenge system of sorts.

I don't have a source anymore, as I never bothered to save it, but I know that it was actually required to progress at some point.

Yes, there are some additional challenges, no weapons, mission failed if seen etc.

I dislike the vision distance of guards and their reactions to sound on Normal. It just feels too easy. Hard is just right.

Watch Greg Miller's let's play - it was changed in TPP and feels like AI is a lot smarter.

Yeah, i saw that. Their vision is better and the AI works together a lot more. Still, i think they should see further ahead in broad daylight. Like up to 100m or more, not counting snipers.
