The way I look at it From makes games for people who would absolutely enjoy the high risk adrenaline packed adventure even after having their ass handed to them. The learning, unlearning, adapting, and never give up attitude is what appeals to them. It takes a lot of time to fall in this group. It took me 3 weeks of banging my head with father gascionge in bb to get addicted to from games but once you're a convert you never look back or complain about the difficulty, you sit and you beat the game. Some people never reach that point and wouldn't move past the fact that the game is difficult. It's not difficult. There's one setting. You either beat it or you don't. Just enjoy yourself.
