Games should be as hard or easy, complex or basic, as the developers desire them to be. Other than that, there's difficulty settings in almost every game out there. Play to your tastes, we'll play to ours.

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.

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


Congrats! But you probably account for less than 1% of 19 year olds in that regard haha

Does your mommy know you have these rage issues? Please say yes. School counselors? Anyone ? You wasted $85 of you familys' money [game=60, trade-in=25] because you were mad that you suck at killing a water boss? You have got to change your mad-at-the-world attitude or you will not amount to much in life and will have a rough time keeping a GF/BF/ relationship. You will hate having a job, any future car problem will set you off and other drivers will surely make you rage. You are going to end up being in a police/rage/shootout situation if you don't look at your internal rage issues. Tell someone you got a problem, and see how good it feels to let someone help you. Either that or buy Barbie Makeup is Fun Game because it is not a challenge. Challenge makes you better.

You probably account for less than 1% of 38 year olds in that regard too though, so that doesn't really matter...

First off, I'm 36. I don't need to be any closer to 40 than I have to be and second, I'm pretty sure more than 1% of the original NES kids could beat an NES game considering we're all trained and grew up on them. Saying only 1% of 36 year olds can beat an NES game is like saying only 1% of 16 year olds know how to download an app on a smartphone.

Oh, so this is about any NES game? Well that's a completely different story. Anyways, saying only 1% of 16 year olds can beat an NES game is like saying only 1% of 36 year olds know how to send an e-mail.

lol

All I'm saying is this. If you take a 16 year old who's only ever gamed on 360/PS3 to now, playing only modern games, they're not going to have the skill set that someone does who has gamed since the NES because modern (not retro indie platformers etc.) games are soft in comparison. 

Can someone who is young be raised today on hard games and have those skills? Sure, and there's many out there that do... but it's not the majority or even close.
