I know hard is out of the question but since the shooting is so bad should I play this on easy? or just do it on normal.

If all you're wanting to do is enjoy the setting, characters and story and you don't like the combat, then just play on Easy.

Yeah it seems like it would make it a much better "Game" why doesnt everybody play it on easy?

Some folks don't feel the controls are enough challenge on their own, I suppose.

Normal is pretty easy too, regardless. I can't even see hard being a challenge. The AI is busted in Deadly Premonition, and the combat isn't complex. Just do the sidequests and you can mow through it with minimal effort, ie. infinite magnum and Grecotch. The GB ERs are misleading in regards to difficulty. The shooting isn't that bad, it's just tedious.

Yeah, I had no problems on normal. Honestly though there's not a whole lot left in the game after the Eruns, or at least there wasn't for me. In my quest to find all of what the game had to offer a lot of its flaws were exposed. Don't get me wrong the story/characters are cool.  

The trick with this game is to run through the combat sections as quickly as you can. I'm playing on normal right now and I'm not having too much trouble doing this. If you've watched the endurance runs, then you probably know the puzzles for each dungeon. So just run around the zombies. For me at least, the fun was all in the open world sections and not the dungeons, so go for that. It makes the game a whole lot more fun.

What "flaws" are everyone talking about? Enemies are "zombies" who walk towards you, what AI are they supposed to have? Shooting is ripped from RE4, was that a terrible game too?

You should play on Extreme or whatever the hardest difficulty is.

I played on normal. I only died about 6 times and that was mostly because of quick time events.

Easy. It isn't worth fighting the wall ladies on Normal. 

I never had a problem with the wall ladies. They're like mini bosses and only add to the experience, but I've heard a lot of people complain so MooseyMcMans advice is sound, if only to adapt to the whiney babies who didn't "get" what the game was going for.

I'm playing on Easy, mainly to enjoy the game. I S-Ranked Super Meat Boy, I don't need another tough-as-nails game. I know I won't be getting all the Achievements in this one, but hey, whatever. Maybe during the summer I manage to get the time to S-Rank this game (that is, beating it on Hard and getting all the trading cards)...

Normal was fine, figuring out the pattern of the wall ladies is a must.

Ohshit. Just realised theres an achievement for 200G to complete it on hard ----------------------___________________________---------------------
