No shame on playing games on story mode or "easy".

It's more important to me I enjoy the game than impress an invisible audience with playing on normal or hard.

Plus typically the only difference is how much damage you do or take.

So you spend less time fighting enemies. And more time progressing the games story. Which is what I play for.

I've heard a few people say they put this game down cause of the difficulty.

I'm like....then lower the difficulty settings? Why not?
