You can choose to respawn instead of reload save games, and the enemies will have the same damage as when you died. If you don't want this, just load save games like any normal game and it's just as difficult, this is what I'm doing.

Actually that's kind of cool I think. Kinda made me sneer when I first heard about it but then I realized that this is exactly what I'd be hoping more games would start doing. I think we're gonna see more and more no-death gameplay as gaming cements its place in the mainstream & as gamers get busier & older, I think that's good thing. Maybe now that such a huge critical hit has done it, it'll really start becoming common. Death in games is kinda an ancient relic of the quarter-hungry arcade era, isn't it.
