I've come to learn that for many of these games I just don't have the skill anymore (or patience to get better), but I enjoy the story or gameplay enough that I'll keep chipping away on easy just to see everything. Anyway, I know there are #nevereasy players out there that rail against the very notion of putting it into anything below normal difficulty, but I figured I'd mention it if that's something that's getting in your way. I think the only exception I had to this rule was for Rock Band. Unless I was part of an Endless Setlist Attempt then I was always hard. And yeah, you read that right.
I think I'm playing on Hard, because I started it right after Doom and I was playing Doom on some of the more difficult settings, including ironman.
It's not the difficulty so much as a couple of fights have just been complete slugfests. A narrow corridor, no way to move around, just you and the enemy, and the enemy has a huge amount of hp, and I'm not sure if I'm doing any damage at all, if there's a trick, if there is specific weapon/ammo I'm supposed to be using.
I'm experiencing the same sort of thing in Bioshock right now, and I'm killing my first Big Daddies and they are a bit of a chore to take down (even though I'm only playing on Medium). On the plus side, there is no better targets for your specialized ammo/weapons. on the negative side, I've killed 3 but one of the little sisters ran off, so I have to kill another to rescue the final little sister on this level, and my heart just isn't in it.
New Order is sort of the same thing, but without the interesting little sister rescue and adam reward. Just a slugfest against heavily armoured mechanized dudes. Yawn. Haven't even made it to the moon yet.
