What would your definition of hard be for this game? For me, the difficulty of the game is pretty bog standard, if anything it's actually a pretty easy game, I'll admit I've died quite a few times by underestimating how strong some enemies were, but I don't die anymore than I would on other games, infact, the hardest part of the game is trying to get Pure White World/Character Tendency, since Black is easy enough, just kill yourself half a dozen times, lol... I remember before I played the game and people were saying how it's so unforgiving but very rewarding, whereas my idea of an unforgiving game is something that kicks you while your down, which this doesn't really seem to do, if anything it helps you, if you're in PBWT, the enemies become stronger, HOWEVER, your tendency only decreases if you die while in body form, so unless you keep using Stone of Ephemeral Eyes, it's pretty much impossible to get PBWT since each world has 3 bosses (Except Boletarian Palace) and once you die you end up in soul form, and dying in soul form does nothing to your tendency... therefore it's pretty much a safety net stopping the game from getting any harder. I also started a new character earlier and ran through all of worlds 2 and 5 taking very little damage due to using a shield, I didn't find anything hard whatsoever, although admittedly once you've played through the levels once you sort of know your way around and it becomes much easier, but still, it was really easy for me, lol. So yeah basically: Why do YOU think the game is hard, or if you don't think it is hard, why do you think others may? |
the answers in your question.
its hard because 1) you die a lot and 2) you have to find ways of not dying by running past enemies rather than fighting them.
and you cant just blame dying on underestimating the enemies....that excuse could be used for every game and every enemy.
