"Too easy" (too easy) by Fullofkittens 03/31/2005, 6:48pm PST
There seems to be quite the developing story about GoW in that it's too easy on Normal. Putting aside the fact that it's only too easy for experienced gamers and not for the average 2-games-a-year gamer, it's really odd to me that everyone seems to have the same GoW complaint: "Too easy." (On Normal mode)

When did controller-throwing difficulty become a prerequisite for a good game? Take two other games that people, at least Caltrops people, almost universally admired: Ratchet & Clank, and Beyond Good & Evil. Both of those games are a LOT easier than God Of War. BG&E is also even shorter. (GoW is kinda short, too.) I don't remember anyone bitching about how *psht* easy those games are.

HL2 was pretty easy, too. I don't remember anyone saying that was a big problem. Most games are too easy for the serious gamer on Normal difficulty, because serious gamers aren't normal. That's why they have a Hard mode, isn't it?

Did NG and DMC3 permanently make all games pitched at average players' abilities For-Pussies-Only?
