Softcore is the same as "everyone is a winner" because eventually even though you may die 10,000 times you will still eventually get to inferno and clear it. Hardcore only the most ballsy and elite will ever attempt Inferno




The clear aspect of "winner and Loser" is clearly defined in Hardcore. You die, you lose, you survive, you win. Its very straight forward with no real black/white since many softcore players will claim victory in inferno even though they use cheese tactics that wouldnt even last 1 second in hardcore.

The question should be "what's the point in playing SC?". It's like running in DOOM 2 with godmode, there's no fun whatsoever.

Yea that's actually not the same thing at all. If you died in DOOM 2 without godmode on, you would just go back to the start of the level and you would try again, not start all over from Level 1.

You can still die in SC and there are penalties for doing so, they just aren't as severe. HC is fun on its own, you don't need hyperbole to make it sound cooler than it is.

if by penalties you mean 10% repair bill that is hardly a penalty
