Love Demon Souls, but I seriously hope Mass Effect 2 doesn't turn out the same way... :p

I guess it's the influx of teenagers that's causing this.

I remember when games were difficult, now it's all a cake walk.

Darn shame.

I like games that are challenging, but I've realize many Japanese devs have a screwed up image of what challenging is. When I play western games on harder difficulties my skills are put to the test, but when I play games made in the far east most of the time they're nearly impossible to beat on harder modes. It's like Japanese gamers like losing. Demon's Souls was pretty cool though.

generally agree...

gamers these days are having everything done for them... and still finding everything to complain about.

sad thing is i don't see the trend changing, it will only get worse!

this is what commercialization is doing to our beloved games.

Most games are dirt easy on medium.....I need to start on hard just for a mild challenge.

People have different definitions of a challenge I found out. For my taste a challenge can be taking over 5 mins to kill a boss and of course the health dropping close to zero a few times, but not dying. While others have to die at least 10 times for it to seem challenging. I realized over these years playing games, that dying takes a lot of time, and I don't like that one bit. Time just goes by too damn fast when your older. I've been playing GoW1 on hard on my PS3, and I think I died close to 50 times throughout the game. I get frustrated very easily and when that happens words come out of my mouth that I never even knew existed. At least I don't break controllers like my cousin.

"We realize that From Software just released a game that is hard as hell, and people liked it. Since WE are teh best RPG makers this gen, Mass Effect 2 is going to be real hard and you're all gonna like it. You're hardcore if you can beat ME:2, no pampering the babies."

I'm not going to apologize for that interpretation, I think Bioware did some great stuff in the past, but I didn't really appreciate ME, KOTOR, or DA:O. ME and KOTOR were overhyped to no end and it kinda drove me nuts after playing them both and disliking them both equally.

It's kinda funny, but I can see more developers pulling out the rug from people because of how well Demon's Souls did. I think that's why Monster Hunter does so well, and Ninja Gaiden. The difficulty keeps the game a constant struggle, and any progression is oh so sweet.
