I only go for the harder difficulties after I've worked my way thru the game at least once.

[Witchyjoshy]

To be fair, these are the same people who think Master is a cakewalk.

Meanwhile, I encounter struggle on Adept.

I'd be inclined to say that its not so much that they think its a cakewalk as much as they think every game should be as hard as Dark Souls and have masochistic tendencies.

No, they really do.

Here, have a quote from a game forum:

Even on master difficulty this is a children's game in terms of difficulty. Dragons are also pathetic.

This isn't just that guy's opinion.  It's more or less the accepted opinion shared by the entire forum. :-/

You won't blame me if I call that hyperbole would you?

[Witchyjoshy]

I wouldn't blame you, though that really is the accepted opinion :-/

To the point where Deadly Dragons and Deadly Combat are pretty much the first two mods that people push on anyone who asks for "must have" mods.

"You're new, your definition of fun must match ours, then!  Here, have some bullshit that will make your gaming experience one of teeth-grinding frustration and rage!  Have fun!"

Followed by so many emoticons, it'd make a RR regular vomit.

Least, that's what I'm guessing.

[Witchyjoshy]

If only they were that obnoxious :-/

Instead, they're more along the lines of "Perfectly and reasonably obnoxious in a way you can't complain about"

[RavynousHunter]

Hahaha, just watch me.  I'm an Olympic-class bitch, when I want to be.

Finally got through Sens Fortress. The main boss there was so friggin easy. And course I lose all my souls from that fight in Anor Londo -_-

Found my old discs for Hitman: Contracts and Hitman: Blood Money and as such I shall be replaying them in full. While I dislike the reduced challenge, they're still a lot of fun and very much feel like a Hitman game.

[Vypernight]

I love Blood Money.  Just the fun ways to kill people is worth it alone.  And a stressful day at work can be forgotten after massacring an entire neighborhood while dressed as a clown.

I remember getting Silent Assassin on every mission without too much hassle, and then feeling immensely superior to my friend who didn't quite manage the same feat.

On an unrelated note, is it wrong that it took me a good 40 seconds to remember how to spell "feat"?

[Shane for Wax]

I personally can't get into the Hitman games. I dunno why. I have a couple but they just didn't... 'stick'.

[The Right Honourable Mlle Antéchrist]

I've been playing Silent Assassin off and on lately. Unfortunately, I'm not very good at it.

[Vypernight]

I got SA on most missions, but I still had trouble with a few of them, like the Playboy mansion and mental hospital.

[Distind]

Just realized I can play PS1 games on my PS3 at the same time I found my copies of the first two monster rancher games. I won't be needing any new games for a while.
