it's been a long time since I played this but I see that you are still doing it. It does look more interesting with a team especially whatever that kind of partner you have that brings 20 dogs with him lol. One of the things that really irritated me about this game was the 1-hit-kills that many of the bosses have. That graveyard dude that got you in one hit was one of the most frustrating for me and I only got past him by figuring out some cheese method of getting him hung up on the back of the building...they have likely patched that by now.
But I see that you are using PS to play and that is what I was playing with. I just found the whole experience to be something that was likely made with PC players in mind and the people playing on consoles were kind of an afterthought.
