Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance

People who suck so much at this game should just stay away IMO.

I disagree, I like playing action games on the hardest difficulty and learning their mechanics, AI and quirks thoroughly, but that doesn't mean everyone does and people can't have fun stomping cyborgs at a difficulty appropriate for their skill level and the amount of time and to an extent effort they put into the game, especially as this is a Metal Gear title and may be introducing a lot of people to the hack & slash side of the action genre. Not to mention Metal Gear games have a lot of focus on characters and story, a lot of people have more interest in that than they do being able to flawlessly S rank every fight on the hardest difficulty.

So beautifully put. Also, Metal Gear games tend to have extra special rewards for those of us who are up to the bigger challenges. MGS4 is a great example. Bayonetta is also a good example of a challenging game that also can appeal to newcomers and story junkies as well.

Don't tell me they dumbed down the game to cater the casuals

This is horrendous. On one end, we have DMC vets to think players are bad if they can't master a Royal Release or do an overcomplicated string of combos. On the other end, we have devs making a block move semi-automatic (whatever that's supposed to mean for a game) just for gamers who can't understand what forward stick + Square means or be bothered to get used to the timing of it... Ugh, two extremes, both pretty ridiculous. I weep for both sides.

as for someone who grew up in a generation where the only difficulty was hard and likes a challenge,i dislike this article
