Well what I want to know is whether you can start a game on normal, then change it to hard four hours in when you realize it's going to stay this easy. Because I can't fault a journalist for choosing "normal" for their review. If "normal" is easy and "hard" is normal, and you're committed to the difficulty level you chose at the start, I don't see why I would blame the reviewer. Sounds like that's the developers' fault to me. |
Like I said I played on hard all the way through. When I died there were times when it said you can change the difficulty setting.
BUT MOST GAMES don't allow you to go harder once you go easier - this prevents people from completing on hard by cheating. It's totally fair.
I don't know why you want to fault the developers. OBVIOUSLY a lot of people who buy South Park will be casual(ish) gamers, and for most of them a turned based game is completely new. For ANYONE who has gaming experience, it would be obvious that the only mode worth playing is hard - especially if you pay full price. Reviewers are meant to provide these kind of insights. But many of them just end up paraphrasing each other and not adding much new.
