Mass Effect 2 PS3 insanity difficulty?

Post Reply New Topic

I'm going through the Mass Effect trilogy on PS3, and I've just started 2. I've put the difficulty on insanity (I remembered it made the game feel impossible, when I played it when I was younger), and it isn't really challenging, at all. It's really easy, for some reason. It feels like I'm playing on what should be casual difficulty. I'm playing the PS3 trilogy set version, unpatched. I remember reading that the original X-COM game had a glitch where the difficulty reset to the middle difficulty option after the first mission, so I'm wondering if the unpatched PS3 version of mass effect has something like that, or if the game was never really difficult in the first place?

I found it hard enough on the easiest difficult level. I was able to beat the first game on Hardcore, though.

I played them all on the hardest difficulty. I remember there were parts in the third game though that had me incredibly frustrated though and if I were to replay them I would probably turn it down. Cover shooters aren't really fun when you have to basically stand around half the time waiting for health to regen and exposing yourself for a moment takes you back to critical health.
