I already finished the game and was playing on easy from the start. I never said I was good at the game.
I too am playing easy. I play nearly all the games I buy on easy. I have not the time and way too many games that I never see 2/3rds of their content as is, to want to play a game to the point of frustration or further hindrance.
Hence I have no time for the likes of demon souls or dark souls in my life...
The only game of late I've played on hard was/is Skylanders giants.
Really liking Ni No Kuni. My gripe so far = Sometimes it looks truly stunning and then all of a sudden you are given a cutscenes of a character whose polygon count is lower than a Casio calculator and it really breaks the immersion / illusion....
