  Same goes for shooters.  Games like Halo replaced games like Contra and Metal Slug (although the first Doom and Quake games were hard as hell).

So.. Have you beaten Halo 3 single player on legendary with all the skulls enabled? No? That's what I thought.

No I don't really have the time.  I only played it a little bit and didn't really like it.  But if you're doubting my 1337 gaming skillzorz, I must let you know I play Doom on Nightmare Mode and I speedrun SMB1, and when I was younger and had more free time I could beat Contra without the Konami code.

Most games that are really hard these days are hard either due to frustrating controls, poor design, or a need for rote memorization of all enemies.  Or all three really.

I don't care for your gaming skills. You just say stuff like Halo is easy when you haven't even played it through on the hardest setting.

Memorization? Are you sure that you aren't talking about NES-games, like megaman and so on?

When a game isn't fun, I don't turn up the difficulty.  I just stop playing.

Halo IS easier than Doom.  I played Halo 1 on Legendary and Doom 1 on Nightmare Mode.  That's my comparison for you.
