How hard do you need it?
« on: 2012-08-20 09:59:00 »
I mean GAMES of course :D
Pfui whoever thought differently

For me, just below the eat-your-keyboard/controller-whole threshold is 'good' in difficulty

I don't strictly need hard, and have been known to enjoy a Kirby game now and then. That being said, when I want challenge, I like it hard enough that I can beat a task/challenge/boss/level on the first try, albeit just barely (or harder, if the game is quick enough to get you back where you were like Super Meat Boy). I don't generally rage at games that are too hard for me, but I do tend to have a short attention span for games, so if I get stuck I usually move onto something else and don't come back for months. If I can't beat a boss or level after about the fourth try, or solve a puzzle after about an hour, that's usually about where I get bored and find another game.

How do you feel about frequent save points? They seem to be the norm now. But I always feel as though they're "too easy". I remember running around praying for save points while running low on MP from healing. Now I just find a save point every third screen, and run over it to restore HP/MP. It basically feels like cheating, IMO.

Don't need it too hard, just hard enough not to bore me.
For example, Demon Souls is a game i bought and i quitted playing it after 1 or 2 bosses because you have like 80% chance of dying in every monster. If you die, you re-roll. No save points or whatsoever i short period of time. Tires me.
