Fair enough. I love the Yakuza games, but I can understand them not being everyone's cup of tea. God bless people like you though, willing to give the series your time and really helping out us of the core fanbase haha, we've always had something of an odd struggle keeping this series around until recent years.
So I started God of War Ascension tonight. I've got 11/36 trophies already and I'm playing it on hard mode my first playthrough, really trying to knock these trophies out all in one play through as quick as possible. Suffice it to say playing it on hard is really killing my enjoyment of the game. While I'll very likely be able to knock out all of the trophies in my one playthrough, I almost feel bad that I likely won't have as fond of memories with this game as others because of playing on hard just for the trophy. Hard mode sucks, it's frustrating and not fun and I've run across several moments that felt genuinely unfair. It's basically boiled down to not having fun with the game's stellar combat and just cheesing 2 or 3 mechanics over and over to preserve my health and make my way through.
