Why play hard mode?

[Godwings101]

Is there any reason to play it other than achievements and self aggrandizement? Not being able to sell things and the things that do sell sell for single digit. The difficulty of play is easy enough but inventory management is apart of a game and in games like this with loot abound(still plenty of loot on hard) and if the inventory management is nearly untenable on hard mode.

slightly smarter AI of humans, get hit harder by enemies. slightly less loot.

I hope they add a harder difficulty of balance it to be harder in a future update or something. at the moment I just play on hard for the sake of it. its honestly not all that different from normal and the differences are minor.

I think people play hard mode because its harder than normal and more of a challenge, I could be wrong but that's what hard is, yes I'm almost certain that's the case.

The game needs a Survival Mode as DL1, if you die, you lose experience points.
Playing hard mode on DL2 you die a lot, but it is not punished.
Anyway for the first run I think hard mode is right, but the second one requires Survival mode.

I mean the game needs some change in the line of survival mode of DL1, but it need not be exactly the same thing.

cause i like it hard

I always play on the highest difficulty because I like a challenge. From what I remember the first Dying Light was quite satisfying and challenging on the hardest diff. I remember being a bit scared of the zombies actually, not seeing them just annoying flies to squash. This game is completely pathetic though when it comes to the diff even on hard. It is like it is made for kids. And it does not help that the game has numerous completely OP mechanics.

Also there was no achievement for completing on hard.

DL1 has OP movements too.
DL1 has more but weak zombies, that is all.
DL2 big matter is the bug at night with screamers zombies, because if it works right, to survive at night is really hard unless you decide going to the roofs, just as DL1, is you walk on the roofs you avoid all difficulty.

I have not finished DL2, but I remenber DL1´s last half part game was really easy.

Most of open worlds has the same problem, it is only hard if you invente your ownhard way.

If you plan on going to forums and trying to convince people you are the best gamer ever by saying the game is too easy you will at least want to say you play on hard mode.

My reasoning was "if it's this easy on hard mode, how boring is it gonna get on lower difficulties?"

The only time the game feels hard is when you're fighting a anomaly or getting jumped by Renegades. Aside from that, having Dying Light 1 hard mode experience makes this a cake walk. I'm considering adding more zombies and increasing some damage through modding to really make it feel like a life or death scenario.
