If you find the rooms with the keys popping out of no where frustrating, then you will most surely find the problems in HARD a nightmare!
Maybe... I have a different set of expectations when playing something that's rated as HARD, but I'll find out soon enough. I haven't really seen too many of the comments for the HARD mansion yet.
Some of us play with the sound off, so look out for the stars that will sparkle in the room.
Yes, but that would have been different. I've seen rooms like this and I don't mind that so much. There are two areas in this mansion where there is one or more hidden keys and there are no sparkling lights. Isn't that linked to destroying all creatures in the room? Anyway, in two of the cases (in Easy and Normal) there weren't even any creatures in the room. I think everyone has their own set of pet peeves. For the moment, that one is at the top of my list. (Excluding the case you mention).
I think the big thing to watch out for is mobile platforms that don't appear to have any useful purpose (there's usually a reason for them to exist) - provided those platforms aren't hidden, too!
Check out the Tutorial Mansion...
First thing I did, and commented on, unfortunately they're not on this board. I didn't have posting privileges when I commented on it, so I sent the notes directly to Anthony.
I'm sure I'll get a handle on the new tactics, etc. Their newness hasn't worn off yet. I appreciate the advice.
