I wouldn't compare achievement hunting to difficulty.

Like I said, you don't have to bust your knuckles. I don't. But no, you absolutely can't become intimate with a game, at least not a difficult game, without playing on the appropriate difficulty. You may think you know it, but you don't.

Cheevo hunting isn't easy that any baby on earth could do it, there are challenges to earn some and mechanics for others, some cheevos can be harder to collect than others and that would make sense than making all cheevos very easy or very hard entirely.

I don't bust my knuckles simply by choosing the average difficulty setting without a desire to go any higher, if the game prevents me from getting any further after hours, then I'll simply turn it down a notch and then resume rather than spoending hours doing a wax on wax off montage.

Appropriate difficulty is subjective though, you will likely claim I wouldn't know X game until I play on extra hard for example and yet I can look up all the changes made for said setting and understand how it works and determine whether or not I'd like it.



Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.
