Singleplayer games aren't difficult anymore. 20 years ago completing a game was a feat, an accomplishment, a true "achievement". Now they gotta dumb it down and make it easy enough that even the dumbest rockhead can finish it and feel good about himself.

Try finishing any game without anh walkthroughs builds or tutorials. Enjoy.

Try finishing any game without anh walkthroughs builds or tutorials. Enjoy. Didn't need any walkthrough builds for ME:A to make a monster character, and I am sure most passionate people about this game on this forum didn't either. I don't know wtf you're talking about, this game isn't something like Path Of Exile with its million pages of theory crafting and a skill tree that gives you seizures. SalMasRac , I don't agree entirely with your language though. I don't believe that's a fault for anyone that they want to "complete" a video game. I am of the opinion that everyone should be able to enjoy it and BW games especially attract many people that have more interest in playing through the story vs experiencing the challenging combat of a life time. Those people aren't "dumb", they just have different priorities. That's why there should be a narrative difficulty. However, one would wonder why they didn't make Insanity more difficult. I remember that ME1's Insanity was really brutal compared to this (or even ME3's Insanity). P.S. The hardest thing about ME:A's hard modes is that your life support goes down soooo fast. In one of the vaults, I had to literally reset the puzzle a hundred times until I got all the goodies (which wasn't hard, just terribly annoying).

If a game is ultimately easy, not knowing shit about fuck isn't going to change that, unless the systems in the game were deliberately designed to be obtuse and unapproachable.

If an approximately 1% chance to succeed is not your idea of difficult, then you have a great career ahead of you in sales.

The hardest thing in the singleplayer so far was solving the +2 skill point seppuku puzzle in the Elaaden vault while slightly drunk and sleep-deprived.

Mass Effect games were never hard on Insanity. The first was just tedious, the second had one or two fights that could maybe be a bit challenging but not really that hard either and the third part was even easier on Insanity. So it doesn't surprise me that MEA is also pretty easy on Insanity. And on top of that you can craft some ridicolous OP weapons apparently. Also... most AAA games are very dumbed down nowadays even on the hardest setting with a few exceptions here and there.
There are usually two reasons when people find Mass Effect games hard on Insanity: they are mainly RPG-Players who like story-driven games and thus usually have not much skill when it comes to combat (aside from fighting endless flame wars on forums about romance options and such). And/or they are console players and have a hard time with button mappings and the fucked up controller aiming.

It's a joke. On my first playthrough I went insanity and died 3 times. Rushed the campaign in 55 hours.
But why did you post this in MP?

1. Rose covered glasses- How hard video games use to be is our generations up hill both ways. Outside of a few exceptions, since the 16bit days.....games have been easy. Older games were about repetition and hand eye coordination equating to giant timesinks due to system limitations. Ninja Gaiden, double dragon and contrast for example
2. Dark souls is my favorite game series of all time after Mass effect. Some games are difficult at first but that is due to the learning curve. After you were clearing gold/Plat in Me3 online, of course insanity(bronze solo difficulty) was easy. Four dark souls amd numerous dlcs later....only pvp presents a large challenge.
