“Why do we fall? So we can pick ourselves up”
If that was directed at me, incorrect.
Also, your quote is somewhere in the Bible. James or something.

I’ve never seen anyone try so hard but never be rightZappy I havent played Sonic Heroes but have you ever assumed it seems harder because Sonic 2 takes about an hour and a half to beat and sonic heroes takes longer?
I object.
You see, the boss battles in Sonic Heroes, are harder than the final bosses of Sonic Adventure 2. (I leveled all the bosses flat in Sonic Adventure 2 in less than 20 seconds). It gave me a chuckle inside, when you said “I haven’t played Sonic Heroes,” because, how would you know… if you haven’t played it?
You see, it is very likely you based this assumption on the Mario Games, based on the fact you included only “new/easy” games made by Nintendo, which is a family company, and therefore children would also be a target audience.
Games made for the Atari 2600 (Pitfall), were older and genuinely harder than either of the “old” games you described in your post.
That game verged on near impossibility, It perturbs me why people would want to play a game (one person actually wanted something that hard) that infuriatingly hard anyway that they cannot get past the first level. If you have played it.
In a nutshell, there are hard games and easy games today, some series have gotten easier and some harder.
Zappy, I don’t want to sound mean, but it sounds like you’re trying to cover up your over-pretentious fuck up.
Your initial argument was that new games have gotten harder today than before, and now you’re either trying to hide that fact, or you’re just being stupid and not admitting that you’ve changed your mind.You’re playing with the big leagues boy. Scrap your onesie and lose the training wheels.

Metroid Prime 2 is newer than Metroid Prime 1
Once again, what’s your point?
Just because Metroid Prime 2 was harder than 1, doesn’t mean that games get harder over time.
You can’t take one game, no matter how good it is, and use it to generalize the entire generation of Video Games.As time rolls on, programmers find new, and innovative ways to keep the player interested for longer periods of times.
i.e. Adding a mega mushroom to *NEW* Super Mario Bros on the DS, or the element of enemies attacking your last known position in a stealth game like Splinter Cell: Conviction.I think the difficulty of games is more of an age/experience issue. Sure, different games have different play methods, but lots of games have similar mechanics that you could already be used to.
In Spyro 3 on the PS1, I was having the hardest time every beating the Sorcerer on that last level, but now it seems like child’s play.All game genres have their easy/medium/hard games, no matter what era we’re in. I remember playing Bionic Commando for the NES, and finding it so much harder than the more recent remake. I also played the original Castlevania on the PS1, and found it MUCH easier than the newest ones on DS.
There’s also that difference between challenging, and fucking stupid hard.
An example of challenging would be one of the bosses in Dead Space. Never once in that game did I put that game away because the boss was unfair, or stupid. It’s never fuck you in the ass.Now, fucking stupid hard would be a game like Ninja Bread Man.
Just, horrible. That game was frustrating. Jumping was terrible, combat was terrible, the camera was game breaking. It just kills me on the inside that they’re making a second one.All in all, it’s just a matter of what game it is. It’s all very varied, and you can’t give a definitive answer.
Oh, I see.
I support it even more now.On a side note, there are so many kids at my school who smoke weed, it’s not even funny. They’re always like, “Jon, you’re always so stressed. Those asian assholes got you down? Still threatening you? You should blaze, you’ll be so chill.”, and I’m like, “I’ll give you cheetos if you go away.”, and they’re like, “‘kay”.
