This mainly applies to online games, but just out of curiosity what is your opinion on having characters in a game that are universally agreed on in a community to be overpowered? Should they be removed or nerfed? Is it healthy to have a couple characters too strong? Idk how I feel so I thought I’d share
There should be a push and pull of player vs npc. If the enemy they’re fighting doesn’t have an effect on how they act, it’s a bad enemy, it’s an unbalanced game.
DOOM is a franchise where the player character is considered very powerful, but really, the DOOM games are very hard especially if you’re not super into FPS games. DOOM Eternal is even harder than 2016 because every single enemy in Eternal needs a different reaction from the player, but it’s thrilling if you’re playing on the right difficulty because you are just about getting every beat right and doing that dance to rip and tear.
Meanwhile games like Warriors and later Kingdom Hearts are… boring.
