I started the game on normal and beat it through on both normal and hard and started the hardest difficulty. This was with my first character on my own, then I had some kind of save glitch which you will hear and see everywhere and couldn't progress any further on this game. So I started a second character with my good friend on normal difficulty to try and finish the game. I had read up on reloading my game twice before playing will negate the save game glitch. We rode on that all the way to the hardest difficulty again.... just to have it screw up on us near the end anyway.
If you cannot properly code a game to save and won't uphold the game by fixing major glitches then please for love of god... DON'T MAKE IT! I am absolutely disappointed and angry at this game and even if you can get it for $5 on some discount just don't waste the time. You will more than likely get the glitch and just waste hours playing this good for nothing game. Way to ruin your reputation Snowblind Studios. I won't be buying anything from them again.
