When did you realize hard != fun?
>>748931042As soon as I played a souls-like where leveling didn't really matter.
>>748931042Hard is not always fun BUTEasy is never fun

>>748931042Around the time I realized that bait == fun
>>748931042Some level of difficulty and friction is necessary to make a game interesting to play.
Did people really get filtered by Grim? He's probably the easiest boss in the second area.

>>748931042It was never whether hard = fun but whether hard = rewarding, because rewarding = fun, ergo if hard = rewarding, then hard = fun.
>>748931042This game is hard as ball throughout, but getting all S-ranks is something I'm proud of, and I never have to touch the game again
>>748931042Hard is fun, the dopamine rush from overcoming a legitimate challenge is great but the key word there is legitimate. Creating difficulty by using mechanics that have little to no counter play, like making a boss invincible until the game decides it's your turn, or spamming ads during the fight, having the boss teleport constantly etc. is just tedious and annoying so when you do win the fight you instead just feel relieved that the gay shit is over.

>waiting for the boss to stop being invincible is high iq gameplayFuck off retard
You always want a game that pisses you off enough. Depending on your skill level you may have a higher or lower tolerance for difficult games. If you've played a lot of games you have a lot of carry over skill that makes it so you can push your limits with harder games. When you don't have as many games under your belt then more moderately challenging games will be more than enough for you.If a game is too easy it feels like going through the motions and not as engaging.
