I can't believe someone can play Nethack long enough to learn that kind of stuff without snapping. I tried it last summer, and it was so hard that it wasn't even fun anymore. *salutes*
Oh yeah; Nethack has the steepest learning curve of any game I've ever seen. It makes NS's learning curve look like a speed bump.
There's tonnes of information online which spoils the whole thing, but it's much more fun to learn what to do by yourself.
A word of advice, though: be careful what you eat. Most of the time you can eat what you kill (even though it tastes terrible, just ignore that), but you <i>have</i> to eat it while it's still fresh or you'll get food poisoning. It's also a very stupid idea to eat the corpses left behind when you destroy zombies or mummies, since they're already rotten.

Like by not giving you too much ammo, but enough so you had to carefully line up your shots. And making health sparse enough so you didnt feel invincible.
I think Max Payne 2 was one of those games, I would get to 10% health and think "Crap, Im so dead." Then I would find just enough painkillers to keep me alive through the next battle. I don't think I was ever above 50% health through the whole game. I almost turned on godmode twice, but yet again, ran into some painkillers at just the right time. <!--QuoteEnd--> </td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'> <!--QuoteEEnd--> Max Payne 2 adusts the difficulty as you play through to match your skills, homeworld 2 makes the next missions enemy fleet get bigger or smaller to match a fair amount on your current fleet.
Though I prefer the knife in RE CV because it's silly easy to use.
Difficulty was well balanced, had replayability, bonus games, in the DC version you've all the extra gallery stuff, all in all a very good game.
Especially when you get cocky and try it using the knife alone. Claim to fame? Can do Wesker's battle game in RE CV, and Nicholai's in Nemesis. No A rank on Nich's one, obviously, but I can get through it alive.
