I bet if the games had an average difficulty they would have a 10 points lower meta each. I've played the first one for about ten hours and it was pretty mediocre to me, despite of how boring it is to die over and over again. |
It isn't so extreme as it seems once you get how things work.
The difficulty is what makes this game great because its the way the developer force you think before acting, it forces you to play it like a real RPG game and not like a simple hack and slash game. If the game was easy you could just go forward slashing and killing everything without the need to develop your character, to use the right gear and equipment, to explore every corner to find objects, to plan a strategy to kill a boss etc,etc. In the end the difficulty makes these games richier, but of course the first time you play it, in the early gameplay hours it can be tedious.
