Caltrops - Diablo 3





	[quote name="Masked Man"][quote name="lurker 90138"]Can companies please stop calling Casual Normal?[/quote] It's a survival tactic for developers. Professional game reviewers aren't like you and me. Playing video games has become work for them, with pressure and deadlines. They have to finish that game in time to come up with a quirky opening paragraph relating the game's experience to their banal life, and give the editor enough time to find plenty of spots to inject unnecessary ed. notes. BUT, to maintain the shred of self-respect they still have, reviewers can't just breeze through on God Mode or play it on easy, they at least need to beat it on Normal to claim to be experts. What happens if they can't finish the game in time? A whiny review about how the game is too HAAAAARD and they ding the score because it hurt their self-esteem, which in turn dings the metacritic score, which in turn manifests bad things on the financial side for developers. So call easy mode normal to spare the reviewers' delicate feelings.[/quote]
