So are games these days easy or hard? - Black Howling - 12-10-2004

During the Megadrive and Super Nintendo games were difficult. But most games on the Playstation 1 were easy (in general). But the last few games that are coming out seem to be getting harder. Like Halo 2 on Legendary, Devil May Cry on Dante Must Die and Ninja Gaiden on Very Hard. So do you think that games at the moment are easier or harder? When compared to the past.

It all depends on the game and the difficulty you play it on. There is no point in playing every game on easy and then complaining that they are not hard enough, and vice versa. But I think in general games have become less buggy and more "fair" overall, so thats why some people might think they are easier. But they are just more advanced I'd say. I mean falling of an edge, one hit kills, beginning from the start of a level, that was all fine years ago, but games are so big and long now that these cannot apply to them, I mean imagine being near the end of a level on HALO2 or something and then you die and have to go ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE START!!.

If that were to happen in this day and age I would just stop playing the game, and probably never play it again. But anyway, as I said it depends on the game, its genre and difficulty you play it on (as well as your skill level and determination).

To answer seriously, I agree with Ryujin. Games require a lot more skill now that they did back in the coin-up era; it just seems easier because you have better control. Though I have never beaten the second Zelda...

Well let's try the Catlevania series. Is Lament of Innocence harder than Catlevania 1 or Synpony of the Night? :confused:

Actually I found Megaman/Rockman X6 had very hard levels but easy boss's. X4 is the hardest of the X's. IMO

P.S. I am a big fan of Megaman and it's sub-series

Heres how I play games...I fight the boss once if I lose I look up an FAQ and use the stragey it states. If that fails I quit playing for a while and end up going back to it USUALLY...
