Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Videos games SHOULD NOT be difficult... (It hurts the Video Game)

Obvious troll/satire post. If not, then it's from one extremely coddled child. Nothing else to say, really.

I stand behind your no water levels suggestions. They always feel shoehorned in. I don't think I have ever found one that was more fun than it was stressful.



"Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth." -My good friend Mark Aurelius

If you like easy games then buy easy games.



 

The PS5 Exists. 


I played a lot of super meat boy and all kinds of mario and I was never really good at hard games but they are definitley fun an that feeling you get when you finally get through a level you got stuck on is priceless. But there should be both types of games hard ones and easy ones and even ones in between. The popularity of the souls games just show that there is a places for very hard games.



Considering the OP's age (18), I'm not shocked that he hates difficult games. His generation has been raised on soft games for years and years. I'm 36 years old so, I cut my teeth on NES for the most part. Back then, beating a game MEANT something. You didn't have it handed to you. You had to EARN it and it was usually a huge feat. 

Personally, I like to think gamers my age have an advantage over gamers his age. I think we have a skill set that his doesn't and never will. For intense, I can dominate in COD, but can HE, or most of his friends, beat Ninja Gaiden without using roms or cheating? Probably not.

The only time I hate a game, is really a bad check point system. And cut scenes. You give me full manual control were I can save anytime. Or put check points before and after key areas. The game is golden. And cut scenes have to be skippable, NO MATTER WHAT. Although, not disabled when I go back playing levels. Marvel Lego Heroes did this. And that was really dumb.

That's all I have beef with, when I get mad at a game. The only thing I hate in a game is to replay areas that I can clear, 10 times. Just to reach the area I failed at. Weather it's a crappy jump or a boss fight. Just start were I died. Fallout 4 does everything I asked. And I don't care if I die stupidly. I'll beat the issue and continue on, improving Sancutary.



If I could give you any advice it would be, buy Mario Maker and play a Panga level. You will love it!!



I'm don't like easily games really, when you finish an easy you don't really feel very accomplished. However, after you beat a super difficult final boss in a hard game, you feel like you have skill, like you did something that day



Currently most hyped for: FFXV and Zelda U

Your lucky your so young to be growing in the hand holding days of gaming. Can't beat a level, pay 99 cents to skip it! Boss battle too hard, pay 99 cents to gain 10 levels. Can't figure out what to do next, there's a dozen guides and YouTube walkthroughs online to help.

For someone with Nintendo in their name you wouldn't have made it in the 80s and early 90s with the "Nes Hard/Nintendo Hard" games like Battletoads, Contra, Double Dragon, Silver Surfer, Ninja Gaiden, Ghost N Goblins, Zelda 2, ect.. I guess gaming nowadays is much more relaxed and laid back in its difficulty which isn't a bad thing because for the most part, a less difficult game is more enjoyable then the ones I had to endure as a child but I wouldn't complain about what you have because you have so many options and assistance when it comes to gaming nowadays that us older gamers didn't growing up.

Hey I'm 19 and I beat stuff like Castlevania and Ninja Gaiden on NES, and I don't complain about them
