Considering that this game is so damn difficult, I tend to not play it as much as I do other games. Therefore, I am wondering how much other people play it.

well i just got my copy today and started playing nonstop and honestly i havent found it to be too difficult. sure its more difficult then your average game but that because games nowdays hold your hand till the end. i kepy hearing this game would kick your ass around every corner but really its not that hard. maybe its just me.

Beaten it, started a new game, and moved on to the plethora of others I had to complete. Haven't played it much in a few weeks. I intend to revisit it after Bayonetta, until Heavy Rain.

no it's really not just you. I got this game figuring it was going to kick the living **** out of me, but then I got past the first level, which does kinda kick the crap outta you, and after that I haven't died since (defeated 2 more bosses, haven't died on either of them, or in their levels). The thing of it is, if you play this game like a hack and slash RPG, you are going to get your bum handed to you so often you will have clocked more time on the loading screen than in the game. However, if you play smart, block constantly, watch your stam, know when to retreat, and memorize enemy locations and attack strategies when you die, this game is simple.... okay, that is kind of a lot. This game is pretty challenging, but only when compared to the other games of this generation. I would have actually preferred that the game be a little easier to be honest, but as it is, it's amazingly rewarding.

I didn't say the game was "cheap" just challenging. Challenging (or "hard" as I chose to phrase it the first time) is a fair assessment of this game imo, and in the opinion of pretty much every reviewer in the northern hemisphere. I find the difficulty refreshing actually, if only because it makes you feel as though you really have to FIGHT for it. In newer games, even the hard difficulty setting can be piss easy, and this game is a great change of pace, and it brings me back to the days of DMC3 and Ninja Gaiden Black (which also scared the living christ out of me.

Used to be waaaaay too much :)

I stoped playing DS all the days, sometimes a play to lvl up and stuff, but 7 walkthroughs are good enough for now, must play the new games too, neh? :)

Also, reading Mangas consumes a lot of time, and some are so addictive that i just end reading all the day non-stop :P.

---------

Anyways, I love so much the game that i still keep helping around the forums even if i dont play it that much anymore :P, love talking about it!

I play quite a bit. I've beat the game multiple times with multiple characters. played the import all summer, then bought the NA Deluxe Edition in October and keep coming back to it. right now I'm playing it in between chapters of Uncharted 2.

You could shorten it:

1. Don't just go running into a new area. That=death.

2. Play defensively. You live longer, and it helps to show you how an enemy attacks.

3. Mind your surroundings. See what environmental effects there could be, and if they can be used to your advantage.

4. Learn to think on your feet.

I agree it's not hard(challenging? yes but there is a difference) it just punishes you severely for being reckless. With this game it is not a matter of "you play by our rules, but some can be bent!", it's a matter of "you play by our rules......PERIOD. Learn early or suffer." For that reason I love this game. I won because of skill, not some exploit.

I've only had it for about 5-6 days (I'm renting it) and I've clocked in about 12 hours so far. I think I'm going to end up purchasing this game. :)

I'll be getting it with my PS3 next month, and I know I'll be clocking some serious hours into it, as it'll be the only PS3 I'll own until Final Fantasy XIII ;)
