Yeah, all I could think as I failed a couple times on one of these was 'wow, one of the designers must have lost a lot of quarters playing Dragons Lair, and vowed not to let someone else ever endure that humiliation'

Also, this game makes my PC (e6600 GTX260 8gb of RAM) choke big time. I know it's approaching upgrade time but fuck.

Difficulty levels above default were poorly tuned in the first one, completely kick ass game otherwise.

No I expect to be dead if I fuck up on the hardest setting, all games like this on hardest setting is expected. My complaint is your tools to win are the exact same thing for every mob in the game, force grab a crate/barrel and throw it. God of war had dodge/block/counter, DMC had no block(except perfect guard stance) and relied on dodge and counters mostly.

This game is throw shit at them because if you try and get close you will be surrounded and forced to block until you can get a quick force push off or maybe speed around a corner. Even better is I can just block for all eternity and just wait for the laser to reflect back and kill them.

Huh. I have a e6420 with 4 gigs and it ran fine. I can only assume graphics card issue?

I don't remember having any melee problems, I just constantly moved/jumped around stopping to pick 1 off at a time. My complaints with the difficulty are directed more towards the projectile enemies, particularly those super fast blue homing balls the tall ass ones shoot that take down a third of your life, I had to resort to some cheap shit to get through some of them.

It's playable, just chugs a little from time to time. What OS and resolution? Using W7x64 and was running it at 1900x1200 most of the time. Ran better when I dropped the resolution a little, I figured the problem was due to the 3 different physics systems they ram down your throat without any options.

Could very well be another issue though not related to the game and is just getting exposed by how much this one is trying to do.
