Idk why they put this into Dead Space.

Adaptive difficulty means if you play smart and try to save ammo and health packs, the game will artificially throw more enemies at you to bring your inventory down.

In theory, it’s meant to exhilarate the horror feel and make every shot count.

In reality, all it does is screw over and punish the people who play well. It’s really frustrating.

Aside from that, this game is awesome.

Idk why but I love not having a bunch of ammo, it makes me feel like I gotta be smart with it

I love it in RE 7, and Dead Space

That’s the thing. Adaptive difficulty punishes you for being smart with your ammo. And then when you run low, it artificially drops more from enemies and chests.

We already have difficulty settings that you can change any time throughout the game (I’m on medium). Just leave it at a set difficulty, and if I feel like I’m doing too well, let ME make it harder. Not the game.

I don't think RE7 has adaptive difficulty actually

You literally have so little ammo, and supply you with some only when you're about to waste it, that you have low ammo the whole time

I know the RE2 remake has it. I haven’t played it, but I’ve seen reviews that point it out.
