Then what should the dev do to scale up the difficulty?
make you more vulnerable as well - this will hamper the explorative aspect of the game, eg. you`d be dead if the enemy catches you in the open or hanging from a balcony. I don't want to crouch through the whole game. It would ruin any unique aspect of the game and be another "realism 101 shooter" where you either hide all the time, or can replay sections because you missed a hidden enemy or got hit by stray bullets.
throw more enemies at you - not a bad thing generally, but it would just turn out to be a totally different game ala Serious Sam. And people already complain about repeated enemy spawns in U2.
quicksave/quickload instead of dealing with gameplay and balancing - Signature sign of the majority of PC-Shooters, even highly acclaimed ones.
Crap I thought this game was downright hard at times on Hard. Crushing was brutal..
I'm not used to playing shooters with a gamepad so maybe that's it.

I play a lot of shooters on console, and stop and pop is by far the easiest to me. I'm not going to say I never died, but I never died more than 4 times at any particular point. It was never frustrating to me.
Fortunately there was enough new stuff as well. This will be one of the few games that I'll likely replay a few times. Great stuff.Just finished the game on Normal ... wonderful, loved it!
I turned off hints right at the beginning, so that's probably why I took longer than most people, clocking in at 13:05 hours on my first playthrough on Normal. Though of course I'm also not a super-hardcore gamer, witnessing my just over 100 checkpoint restarts.
I really felt that there was a lot more exploring in this game, especially in the second half, than in the first game, but of course that could also be partly due to me not having hints on this time.
The game was amazingly similar to Uncharted 1 though in a great number of ways.
). I really like the multiplayer part. For instance playing elimination often gives me a Gears of War 1 feeling (which was my favorite multiplayer game for a long time)
as it is slow paced and you need a lot of bullets to kill someone, increasing chances for intense 1 on 1 battles (which I usually loose
The cooperative stuff is funny too, although people on PSN don't like headsets/chatting :smile:
What bothers me is that according to the stats, only 7k-12k people are actively playing the online part?!
I hope this number increases and I hope an increased player count speeds up match making.
I wish developers would open up options like this, esp. for bots. e.g. in CS:S you can set the AI difficulty. The problem is that aiming and intelligence are tied together. It would be nice to have level 5 AI with a level 3 or 4 aiming, etc. And of course for a game like this allowing users a mode to have fewer enemies who can be killed with a single shot--but also more leathal--would be a nice change of pace from "higher difficulty = more baddies who are better and more resilient." Oh well, probablly really hard to test this stuff... hence why it should be a post-game unlock!
