thank you, that is insightful
my experience with HA mode is (a) certain objective(s) is vastly more difficult (which one(s) specifically is not coming to mind at the moment) than the rest
it gets dicier as the course goes on and increasingly in the harder routes of course, but i dunno, i feel like it should be both more balanced in terms of difficulty of assignment/rank, as well as more granular in rank because due to how trivial many of the AAAs are, anything less feels like a big failure
will try it some more now that i’m more comfortable with the game again
on-topic. have this game on my wishlist just waiting for it to hit like, 20 USD on either steam or on PSN (my ps5 doesn’t have a disc drive)
