*I* don't recall complaining DS1 was too easy. I'd have already shelved the game, but nothing else worthwhile is out, and I'm already 1000/1000 in Sleeping Dogs. I felt much more powerful playing as a Wei Shen in Sleeping Dogs, despite him being a (supposedly) ordinary human being.īeing Death should make you feel like a supernatural badass who destroys everything in his path, not some emaciated hobo in a weird mask who regularly gets killed by wasps. As should buying a game that casts you as a literal incarnation of Death. I had expected that this would signal to the game that I wasn't looking for a hard time. Ooo, looks like I died instantly when I failed to hit a button fast enough.
And now I gotta climb up a well while some lava is following me. Hm? Who's that guy, some kind of big lava-golem dude? Dunno who he is, but a couple of overgrown fireflies living in his basement just killed me twice. Right after finishing The Foundry and getting the 'hookshot', I was feeling all right since I just beat a pretty big boss, and decided to go out and see what new and interesting areas the hookshot might unlock! Oh, what's this? Some kind of big fire-dragon thing flying over a sea of lava? Oh, it just killed my ass six times in a row. It even does that same stupid thing Kingdoms of Amalur did, where it cuts you off with an arbitrary level-cap long before you've maxed out your powers. I can transform into a huge, badass Spectral Reaper? Great, except it only lasts for a couple of seconds, not even enough to take down one big enemy. Oh, so I can do awesome special powers using Wrath? Too bad I can only do two or MAYBE three before I've run out. Death is supposed to be the most powerful of the horsemen, so why is he such an utter PUSHOVER?!? War felt ten times stronger back in the first Darksiders, even when he had all his powers taken away by the Charred Council.
I don't like feeling weak, and I certainly didn't buy a game where you play as friggin' DEATH to feel week.
