Ok well it's not that bad but it's fucking frustrating as hell on hard mode. Plus the shitty camera angles don't help during the boss fight.

Anyway has anyone actually beaten this shit on hard mode? So far I've been playing this like 12 hours and I'm only at the boss golem after I got the Scorpion Sword. I was stuck on the Empress for an hour before this fight and I'm thinking it's going to be the same for this one, maybe even worse.

Well I think it's nice when something on HARD mode actually delivers, right? lol.

I've only played Sands of Time which suprisngly rocked my face. I also played that older one (the first 3D one, not the Warren Spector original) on PC which I liked

yeah but hard should only be so hard without becoming frustrating

the fact that it takes over 30 seconds to load a saved game doesn't help either... especially when it actually loads in two seconds or less but you have to sit through the fucking animation that gets old after the second time you see it

Do you have an Xbox? Xbox has horrid loadtimes as a rule

Nah I'm playing it on PC. Only reason load times are so bad is because it makes you sit through the entire animation even though it's already loaded the saved game.
