This guy never played Contra Hard Corps before.

And hard games destroy that fun, they are just frustrating.

One thing that people tend to believe in general is that hard games are not fun.
This is not true. The GOOD ones can be incredibly addictive.

When a game is too easy or ultr@ easy, its replay value fades drastically. There’s really not much substance to keep coming back.

Kollision: I agree. Today's gamers are too lazy and unintelligent to beat tr00 0ld sk00l games and that's why they whine about it. There is no point playing a game if you just can walk through it, then it's better to watch a movie (which, unfortunately, is what today's games often are actually).

Agreed. Those OMG NU SK00L games are primarily played by Weeaboos, little kids, teenage girls, and people who try too fucking hard to prove they're a HARDCOAR G33K. Contra 4 felt a bit easy, even on "Hard". Ultimate Mortal Kombat was tight, though Puzzle Kombat was a bit easy. I liked Batman and Robin, Zero Tolerance, Shinobi 3, and X-Men 2 for the adequate difficulty. The AI there doesn't just wander aimlessly all for your killing pleasure. There, it's kill or be killed.

Im thinking of legally changing my name to Kill-or-B-Killed.

I like a game to be easy to pick up an play but also require real skill to master.
