So as the title says I just beat AoS, and I wondered what other people thought of the unlockables.
See, I bought the game used, so I foolishly played the game on hard mode first (I figured it was meant to be an option, since I deleted the save games right off the bat), got the "bad" ending, looked up a walkthrough to see what I needed for the good ending, then got that. So my question is this: Is normal mode by any chance HARDER than hard mode? The enemies take more hits to kill and do more damage in hard mode, but then again I read that the silver bullet gun and death's scythe aren't in normal mode, and those were really saving my ass near the end of the game. Is it worth going through again in normal mode somewhere down the line for a challenge?
And also, how is the game with the unlockable Julius character? He seems to control well, but I'm worried it might get old fast since he can't level up, or learn new skills, or have his own menu.
For a first time play-through the game was great, but the replay value seems a little dissapointing after hearing how great it supposedly was in reviews. I was sort of hoping for a "nightmare" mode or something along those lines (as hard mode in this is still easier than CotM, which was about right in my opinion). Replaying the game still doesn't sound terribly bad, but really no better than replaying CotM. Am I wrong?
