Anyone else think the demo was really easy?

I haven't played the full game yet, so I dunno if it gets harder as the game goes on, but I had no trouble beating the demo on Insane difficulty. I didn't die once, mostly because of the abundance of environment things that killed all the enemies for me. Harder difficulties should have less of those around, in my opinion.

It was basically the tutorial stage so it wasn't meant to be crazy difficult yet. I'm sure Insane difficulty will live up to its name in the full game.

Yeah, it's not meant to be hard as a demo.

I quit the demo when I was getting my kicked by those two big robots... on normal.

So, no I guess it's a harder game than usual.

I did, but then I've misplaced my blindfold and no one was around to tie my arm behind my back for me.

Did you play through just using your feet? Fun, but obviously still a bit easy for me.

The giant chargers actually made me a bit angry. Even if you sprint to get out of the way, they still hit you. I haven't managed to avoid them at all. When you see one, you just have to accept that they're going to hit you at some point unless you're lucky.

ya i seem to get hit 50% of the time even if i move out of its path,but the times where i get hit,he impacts something nearby,and i guess lets out some kind of electrical discharge,nova thing that does slight damage,but it doesent hurt as bad as actually being nailed head on

I could tell the demo was easy because I beat it even though the framerate was less than 20 FPS the entire time (terrible graphics on my laptop).

You can jump out of the way of those guys easily enough, or put a lightpost or something between you and them.

Just sidestep them and they charge straight past you, like bullfighting.

So long as you don't stand so close that there isn't time to sidestep.

way to easy But I hope it will become harder when some fast movings, or shooters appears. There are only 3 types of alien in DEMO.

Close rangers do nothing as long as they are slow and running is pretty damn fast. There are a lot of them in the last section, but you have AOE damage by that time. And chargers are like bulls in Serious Sam. Simple non-stress strafing and they are harmless.

Shooters and something fast could be dangerous And less electrical traps. They are everywhere where you see NPC.
