Diablo 3

If they just fixed the loot system it wouldn't be so bad, and to be fair you can increase it to a certain point where it's actually very entertaining, but after a certain point increasing the difficulty is just ridiculous.

what are some games that actually stay hard throughout? a lot of times with shit like this it's because you haven't gotten past the learning curve yet, and as soon as you do it becomes easy, usually well before the end of the game.

>>388243626
Most shmups stay pretty difficult.
Revolver360 is good.

Well, the sort of thing happened to me but you should learn your lesson way before the sewers. Act one already has the Painting Demon and the 4 thugs in the diner. It was obvious that you have to put points into some form of combat abilities by then, since you get to witness how little damage you do against relatively easy enemies.

The soundtrack is phenomenal, Epic and intense. Pure HBPM raising bliss. I think Reality - chap 4 is my fave track too. But Stone-like, man the first time I heard that it gave me goosebumps.

SMT isn't hard or easy, it's just that you sometimes get caught offguard by RNG or shit you couldn't have possibly known about.
