Why do people get upset by OPTIONAL difficult assists?

 I finished God of War on easy, which was damn hard for me against the final Valkyrie boss. Game of the year for me. Freely changing difficulty on the fly reduced any frustration and kept the game fun from beginning to end.

Do you mean that you started off on a higher difficulty in God of War, but lowered it to an easier one at times?

Exactly. I started on a higher difficulty level and reduced it where I was struggling then back up  when it seemed to be getting too easy. I like games that allow you to switch difficulty on the fly. That's always an incentive for me to start on a higher difficulty level. If you can't change it on the fly I usually play on normal or easy.
