I am almost through playing Crysis, and I found that it's a very difficult game, even more difficult than the original Far Cry.
The part that I had to save Prophet from freezing to death and the part that I had to fly the chopper was nearly impossible. I think I finally made it after twenty attempts.
A game should never be that difficult. It takes the fun out of playing the game. I was really getting frustrated, and this is coming from a guy who is very used to playing these shooting games.

Frustrating.
Oh and avoid the second game. Shorter than HL2EP1.
Just like Far Cry, Crysis is quite glitchy when it comes to gameplay.
But what I was talking about was the "Ascension" level. It was nearly impossible to control the thing while dodging fires and rockets from those alien squid-looking thing. There's no place to hide from their fire, and they move much faster than the transport plane. I was basically sitting duck in the sky.
I don't mind a little challenge, but more than twenty tries is just excessive.
Nah, to be honest, I enjoyed Crysis a lot, but I think in some places it's just too difficult. Too much save and load :).
Being inside a tank was an easy target for the Korean soldiers carrying missile launchers, and they get you from very far away.
Mass Effect 2 is pretty balanced as far as how difficulty is measured, Half-Life series was too. Etc.
For a game to be a cakewalk most of the time, then randomly dump you into hopeless situations... it just screams poor design.
For us veteran gamers, we all expect a boss fight to be more challenging than a regular confrontation. Every shooter game has boss fights and mini-boss fights.
Even Half-Life and Half-Life 2 have them. You expect that a confrontation with a strider or antlion queen to be tougher than a combine soldier or a zombie.
But I agree, it shouldn't be impossibly hard. At all time, the player should never feel frustrated.
Now I remember Doom series, 1/2/3, particularly 3... e-z mode was not so easy-mode, never even tried to play nightmare mode...
Personally, I have never tried to play a game on a difficulty level more than "hard". I almost always play a game on the normal difficulty level.
Now Splinter Cell conviction, I played through it twice on the top difficulty and failed to be impressed by the challenge. Fun game, not hard enough though.
