Well, I wouldn't say the 'monster became harder' unless you genuinely played the game before and after and you know from personal experience. The monster could just kill you right at the get-go, he was nerfed in regards to how he gets progressively aggressive, while in the version I played, he was aggressive unpredictable from start to finish if he desired. :L Either way, I'll be playing and beating the game down the road again, for sure.
