Sure it is Noxid, but i don;t think that devalidates the point. It's easy to poke fun at some naive kid and make sarcastic and witty remarks about them. And hell, let's face it, it's a bit of entertainment for the actual hard working individuals to enjoy. Be all that as it may, theres somethign far wrong when blood sweat and tears goes unnoticed/.
And yeah, it was hard. It was intended to be around the skill level of a seasoned hell player. It was also supposed to introduce new challenge elements like ammo conservation that weren't really an issue before. And yeah, i know a few poeple who got to the end.
I don't believe for a millisecodn that a lack of skill stopped you from beating it. You're far too busy creating. People who don't make hacks and merely consume, have more disposable time. These people can afford to fight a boss over a dozen times in order to elarn how to beat it. People with other priorities, I respect and understand cant do that, Think Castlevania and some of it's harder parts. I can beat it, you can beat it, anyoen could. If they spent the time practicing.
