For reference:
So getting right to it, a poll:
- Yes
- Yes, but (comment)
- Neutral
- No
As for my arguments for it - there’s really only one. It’s pretty easy to earn all medals if you just play on easiest difficulty and then finish the last trophies using a ton of special weapons like missiles to annihilate harder bosses in later difficulties. Having sets for different difficulties helps reduce this problem, but not completely. Which gets us to the other point of this topic.
Ideas from my old email conversation
This is the picture taken from my very old email to IA. It introduces 3 new medals to collect:
green - awarded for earning all medals in one mission
purple - awarded for collecting all medals in one difficulty
light blue - awarded for collecting all medals in every difficulty
With these medals the situation explained earlier gets removed entirely because to complete a CI game with 100% achievements you need to complete every difficulty to the best of your skill without any special weapons and dying since you need that to earn the green medal. And without the green medal you won’t earn the purple medal. And without all purple medals you won’t earn the hardest light blue medal.
So a second poll now:
- Green (all medals in one mission)
- Purple (all medals in one difficulty)
- Light blue (all medals in the whole game)
- Neutral
- None of them
