9 Video Game Hard Modes That Were WAY Too Easy

Terminator Salvation was released as a tie-in for the movie of the same name, which, if you've seen it, should give you some indication of its quality.

By no means is Terminator Salvation a good game, but considering that it pits us against literal killing machines, it should have presented something of a challenge.

Instead, the game offered a bare-bones cover shooter with no substance whatsoever, and was filled with a grand total of six different enemies, all of which are easily killed by throwing a few grenades, pipe bombs, or a number of bullets in the weak spots on their backs.

Terminator Salvation can be played through and completed to 100% in a matter of hours, even on the game's hardest difficult setting, which is especially disappointing when you consider that even that short play time feels like too much.

Terminator Salvation's Hard mode most definitely should have been harder, but it seems as though the developers had a trick up their sleeve: if they make the game an absolute chore to get through, it becomes difficult in a whole new way.
