+1. Well said. I love the atmosphere and would like to play but i don't have the time and patience for it. 

B-but you're not allowed to love the game for its atmosphere, story, ect.! It's completely and utterly defined by brutal difficulty. [/sarcasm]

 

without the brutal difficulty that atmosphere wouldn't exsist. 

Not necessarily true. The aesthetics of the game would still be grim and depressing regardless of actual difficulty.
