Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance employs the same method Reach too high a level and that Elite Mook which can tank dozens of hits from you gives you 1 Exp per kill.Thankfully, it's not necessary to grind in most cases. However, when they outlevel you, you only get a marginal gain in EXP.
The game compares your level to that of your enemies, then sharply reduces your EXP for every level you are above them.
It still serves the same function as other forms of Anti Grinding, since you can't get the best upgrades for your powers until the game wants you to. inFAMOUS prevents you from grinding your Karma Meter until certain points in the story.Picking fights with random rioters, while likely fun and satisfying, earns no XP. Batman: Arkham Knight: Unlike previous games where all the gadgets could be upgraded by instigating random street brawls, here XP is only earned with fights, objectives and upgrades necessary to advance the plot or side missions.Unfortunately, when these systems are balanced poorly, they can make grinding slower without actually making it less useful or important, thus causing players to spend more time grinding to get the same reward. A common way to keep players from excessively grinding for money/resources as opposed to experience is to restrict what is available to buy/do with them until the story has progressed further, making gathering more than can be used at the current point in time pointless. A few others keep the requirements to the next level static but decrease your rewards for winning battles against weaker enemies, with the most extreme cases denying you any progress at all if they're too weak.
A few games (but not MMORPG ones) add a time limit to discourage excessive grinding so a player must go to next area / complete objectives within a certain amount of time. If the enemy also learns new attacks and powers as they level up, this could backfire on the player, making those Giant Spiders extra demonic. Another option is to make enemies gain levels along with the player, so grinding an extra ten levels leaves you with enemies ten levels tougher, too. The most common forms of this are escalating "experience to next level" values, where the higher your level goes, the more excessive the amount of experience you need to level up, and adjusted experience gains, where the amount of experience you earn for defeating an enemy is relative to your current level - a level 50 party curb-stomping some level 4 enemies would get a whopping 1 experience point for their trouble. They may simply make it so hard to get your level higher than the one they want you at that even a dedicated level grinder would give up in disgust or resort to a cheat device, or they might make it actually impossible to level past a certain point before you get to the next part of the plot.
Sometimes, however, the developers decide that they really don't want you to level grind like that, so they'll put in more measures to prevent it.
