I keep getting stuck on some of the tougher encounters. I wish I could just drop the difficulty for a bit and progress when I get stuck.  
 
I mean come on its 2011. You should be able to change the difficulty on the fly. 

what would be the point in that?  You select a difficulty and then change it to easier when you get stuck and then change it back when you get past the "difficult" part.  Defeats the purpose.

then never play again if that is how you are going to approach it.  I never once felt an urge to lower the difficulty of game for an encounter or a boss or what have you "

Lol what? Let him play the game in a way that gives him the most amount of fun. "

I'm liking the difficulty elitists trying to tell the man how to play a game he bought for himself. You have to change it at the beginning of the game, man.

Go to chapter select and pick the last chapter you played and put it on the easiest setting.

I think developers would want you to finish the game instead of getting stuck and giving up. They really should have allowed a change in difficulty. 

I think as long as trophies recognize that you changed difficulties it a player should be absolutely allowed to change difficulty as they see fit. I am kind of shocked there are people defending this oversite. Tons of games let you change the difficulty as you play, they just don't give trophy for beating it on hard if you do change.

People talking about difficulty are elitists, but let's just wait for another shooter as easy as Gears 2 were and what? Yes, people complain about games getting too casual.

Still, achievements would probably filter that around well enough.
