I thought the game was damn hard when I played it the first time. I died a LOT and had to take a lot of pauses. Especially the boss battles I thought were challenging and it actually felt rewarding and good to beat them, I got a lot of great adrenaline kicks from it.
I don't agree at all that this game is not fast paced or boring in any way.
When this game came out I played it almost ritualistically for several months. It was really hard to put down and I dare to say it's one of the games where I've actually gone hunting for achievements, something I've NEVER done with ANY other game, not even Half-Life 2.
Maybe it's because I'm a really die-hard Duke fan, or just because I have bad taste, but DNF is one of my favourite games ever.

Bad taste doesn't exist, neither does good taste.
I am just not a big fan of the health generation, cover based, 2 weapon style of shooters. I prefer the "old school" shooters in the style of something like Half Life where you focus more keeping track of, managing your health and using movement rather than using cover to magically regain all health.

Yeah I thought DNF was challenging, too. Anybody who says it's easy is either lying, or has a very strange way of judging difficulty.

It gets easier the more you play it though.

People are different. I'm playing it at Insane difficulty anyway.

You can give all the NPC's aimbots and increase the health to the ridiculous, it will make it harder but that doesn't mean it's the good kind of harder. Difficulty is not some general thing that can be judged the same across all kinds of games.

Yeah the game is fun, but I'm not sure how people could consider it hard. With the regen hp system it's basically just shoot, take cover, rinse and repeat

I guess it was hard because I tend to not take cover that much.

Yeah, when you play it run and gun with occasional wall huggery, especially early on with less ego, it makes it a bit harder.
