It's funny seeing people in the comments blame SR for playing the game on normal mode instead of easy, as if it is somehow their fault the party level is so insanely difficult that you have to either do it on easy mode or do it alone.

[@gamerman0252]

I personally am not trying to blame anyone there not playing on easy. I just find it funny that a lot of it is self-inflicted because the developers made the game incredibly harder just to go up one difficulty level.

[@37crazyblade]

If you was in chat while kaif was playing this you can see that the game was not tune right at all for normal mode for four players and normal is just hard mode in disguise. plus, let be honest which gamer goes to easy right off the bat if they want a challenge from the game incase it was short and these dev like a little bit of light trolling it seems.
