Dunno, I spent 8 hours on it, couldn't even get past the first miniboss. Tried different controller options, using the keyboard, etc and ended up being extremely frustrated, like I wasted $60 on a game I will never be able to finish.

Do not know what to say, except playing and beating that game was one of those most amazing gaming experiences of my life.

I get that. But my question is: if the game had been less unforgiving, would you have enjoyed it less? Was it so enjoyable because it raised the stakes of small mistakes?

I absolutely would have enjoyed it less. That's the thing about these games - the present you with challenges where the only way out is through - you have learn - and what you learn from each boss helps you with the next. It's really how most learning games operate.

And that's the real thing about learning games - if you let up on the difficulty - you let them cheese their way through instead of learning - which doesn't help them get better. It's really almost a philosophical approach with most things- but i know i'm gonna get that w/ FROM

Ok I can see that point. I was just so frustrated by the controls, I didn't even get to the point of learning anything... I felt like the game was telling me "you need to bend to my will and suffer, and you'll be rewarded", which is a warped incentive?

Theres nothing i can say that will take away your experience -but I genuinely don't think suffering is really what it has in mind, even when it's hard and FEELS that way - and I promise the controls are some of my favorite ever - it's just a bunch of timing you have to get down.
