Nemesis Difficulty Good?

[Mango]

People kept telling me to play on Brutal or the game is trash, or that Brutal is easy enough, and that I should be able to tackle it no problem; but Brutal is honestly too tough. It takes 2 hits to bring me down and 2 enemies could easily knock me on my ass, even when parrying and trying to multitask in combat. I figured I'd take it down a notch since it's already too difficult, but would I be missing out on anything? Is Nemesis "♥♥♥♥♥ mode"?

Nemesis is fine, play on whatever difficulty that's actually fun for you. There is a significant gap in between Nemesis and Brutal, but that doesn't mean Nemesis is without a challenge for someone who doesn't already know all the ins and outs of the game and doesn't have good gear.

You can change the difficulty at any time during a playthrough to suit your desires at the time, so just mess around with the different settings and see what feels best for you. I spent a lot of time on Nemesis before I felt like I had a solid grasp on the mechanics, before switching over to Brutal.


Beyond just attack speed/damage/health of enemies, the primary mechanical differences between Brutal/Gravewalker and the lower difficulties is that enemy nemesis missions will only start with tick of time before completion (as opposed to three), and worms will throw stun bombs to cover their escape like tricksters. You're not really "missing out" as such. And, as mentioned, you can change at any time with no issues.

Nemesis is best imo. Like crazygoblin said nemesis is challanging too,i died many times and lost mant fortress in this mode :D

i used to play on nemesis until i got good then i started to play on grave walker
(if you pick the perk that gives 2 last chances you get a single last chance so it isnt too annoying)

yeah... Only play on brutal or above if you really know what you're doing. The gap to Nemesis is huge.
