Is "I Am Death Incarnate" Mode too hard?

[gleem]

ive been playing on death incarnate it feels like the only thing that was changed for the difficulty is that you take way more damage

[RAZZA!]

You have 50 health in every difficulty for the first half of the game.

why have only 50 health though, BJ is supposed to be nazi-killing machine, not a frail old man. makes me think someone on the design team failed *utterly* to grasp what gameplay this series has

He suffered a grenade to the stomach at the end of the last game. He's wheelchair-bound in the first mission and needs that D'aat Yichud suit to walk for the rest of the first half. The suit lets you get 200 armour, though.

so he's gone through hell before, but THIS is what hurts him?

not the zombies, endless gunfire or mecha hitler, but THIS?

im not buying it. BJ should be totally and completly ready to go to war at full health. the suit should be making him even more OP then before. if not, this BJ is not the same charcter weve known before and thats just fact

You shouldn't buy this game unless you want to support the anitfa nazis.

Idk what everyone is talking about?! If you think that you die too easily, the answer is simple - just turn down the difficulty!!! Besides, I always thought that playing on the harder difficulty you should understand that tanking isn't an option, and you CAN get hit you just can't stand there and take it without doing anything!

It's not so hard, just finished it

It's not very difficult - just don't get shot.

A few things to note:

- Enemies almost never can shoot you if you shoot them, particularly leg shots which will down them, making for a good head shot.

- hitting one enemy, staggering them, and then hitting the next can stall multiple opponents.

- keep moving. Enemies might be hitscan, but if you're constantly moving, sliding, and hitting cover, they won't get enough of a bead on you to kill.

- serpentine! Yes, zig zagging like a maniac has gotten me out of some of the most insane scrapes on Death Incarnate.

- Positioning is power. Never leave yourself standing still if another enemy can see you, especially if doing melee combat takedowns.

- suppressing fire! Yup, try shooting near an enemy and watch them cower or take cover. Use this to your advantage to keep them pinned down.

- peaking over cover can let you quickly dodge their opening fire, then peak from another angle to hit them.

- "Kill... All the Nazis." - The New Order
Really, just... Kill the scheisse out of them before they can get a shot off.

By the time you get most perks upgraded and 2 or all three contraptions towards the end, it starts to get easy no matter the difficulty, but that includes Death incarnate.

I don't know how they did the balance testing, but I have to wonder if they kept replaying from the end instead of completely restarting, as that would explain why (1) the first half feels like they did a pıss poor job at balancing the difficulty and pacing, and (2) why it seems like they forgot that you're stuck unable to skip so many drawn out conversations in the beginning half.

So you wouldn't try to play better? Do you find yourself giving up easily.
