The difficulty in games actually still remain, but in a different area altogether. Single player games are no longer what they used to be. SP has become the mode that people go to relax without having to overcome any hurdles. That's why you see all these crutches and options that essentially beat the game for you. The real difficulty now is in the Multiplayer aspect of games where you are put up against the world and you learn through getting your a$$ beat. I remember when I first got Call of Duty MW2 (my first COD), I went online thinking I'll be able to beast, but I got my candy backside whooped so hard I had to call for mama. If I even got 1 kill and 10 deaths a game, I would be so happy. Eventually after practicing over and over, learning how to aim, understanding the maps and strategies, now I can pretty much decimate all the noobs that come online to play FPS. MP is like the old days where you have to get abused to get better. Only difference here is that you are being owned by other human beings rather than AI. |
Pretty good point there. Being an avid player on battle.net with the custom games and all, I remember the days I got my ass handed to me in a number of vs games. Even in the ones where everybody plays on the same team (i.e. castle defense TD etc) I sucked.
