15 Video Games That Mock You For Playing On Easy Mode

5. Devil May Cry Series

Throughout the Devil May Cry series, players have been given the option of reducing the difficulty following a certain numbers of deaths. In Devil May Cry 3 for instance, the player can activate an easy mode, which drastically reduces the difficulty, removes certain enemies from the game and reduces the frequency of other, more difficult enemies as well.

In the very first Devil May Cry, things are taken just a little bit further, as players are given the option of turning on a mode called "Automatic", which reduces the difficulty, but also reduces the complexity of combos dramatically, meaning that even the most complex attacks can be performed with just a couple of button presses. Considering how important combos are the series, and more generally how fun they are to perform, this really isn't something you'll want to give a go. It also locks you into the mode, so you can't change the difficulty again with finishing the game, or starting all over again from scratch.
