For me personally, I prefer having to unlock stuff just for the sake of unlocking stuff. The satisfaction of finding it or completing whatever the objective is. Sure, in some games I'd like more options from the get-go, like how in Pokemon Black/White 2 you don't easy or hard mode until you beat the game, which is dumb, but generally, I find it fun having to get some of the stuff on my own. I remember my disappointment when I found out that Halo 4 had difficulty modifying skulls, but they were already unlocked as opposed to having to find them in the levels first. Hell, I was disappointed in Smash 3DS when all of the characters unlocks were easy as hell.
