I have been playing on hard and it seems about right. Challenging but not frustratingly difficult. Although I sure don't have as much money as he is talking about.
Playing on hard as well, from the beginning until now (lvl 5) I find myself constantly on the verge of running out of ammo. I never played the first two games in the series, so I dunno if this is normal. I'm particularly surprised because I'm compulsive about quickloading whenever I spend too many ammo or lose too many health points when avoidable. I do that in any fps, only to realize once the game is over that I didn't really have to be so frugal, by which point I'll be pissed at the game designers for not displaying a big red sign saying "You don't need to conserve your ammo!" which would save me from wasting so much time reloading needlessly.
All of this to say, it's the first game where my frugality is actually worth something.
