in a story because of a stupid puzzle or hard boss. I just finished Act 1 with no continues on normal difficulty. In fact I didnt even come close to dying. Is this normal? Finding it a bit too easy. Does it get really hard later on? I enjoy games when I get stuck at a certain part but this has been pretty straightforward till now. Do you lot die often in the later stages of the game? Well considering you are on normal I'm not surprised. Unlock Big Boss Extreme once you have completed it and play on that difficulty Oh and if you can complete it in under 5 hours, have no alerts, no continues, use no healing items, use no special items and kill no-one (even the bosses), you will get the Big Boss Emblem. finished it few days ago and thought it was ace - the boss fights were great and getting to use rex and revisiting shadow moses gave me a big fanboy kick. the length of the ending took a shine off it for me though, i think it was because i finished it at around 11pm and then had to sit through all the epilogue on top of the fact that the last hour or so of the game is actually limited to very little in the way of gameplay anyway - I found it to be too much - i'm gonna give it another week or so before i replay it.
