I do agree that games are way easy compared to the old days. They are extremely easy. Hell you don't even run out of lifes anymore. You can keep trying without haivng to worry about starting a complete level over again. Hell, you don't even need health packs in a lot of games. Stay hidden in an area you and replenish your health. It is one thing I love about Demon's Souls/Dark Souls. It is a real challenge and feels good when its accomplished. With that said, I don't completely mind were gaming has went but I don't want hand holding and I do want to have some challenge. It is good to have a mix and a choice with difficulty and I can just brag about it with trophies and achievements if I really care.
I don't have time to beat and play everything on hard or have the time for every game to be that way. There are more gamers than you don't realize are the same way because like me, they have kids and they have jobs. Those that you are talking about are a small minority. There isn't a lot of them. We do appreciate it when a game like Demon's Souls do come around and embrace it.
