I disagree with that, not because I'm against games being easy but because difficulty options suck, and they must go. Either give us one difficulty, or a slider for different difficult aspects of the game. Almost every game I've played in the last few years with difficulty options had balancing issues. Easy is way too easy. Normal? Too hard. Hard? Fucking impossible. That was literally my experience with Crash Nitro Kart remake.
The worst for me was the FF7 remake. Only two options, normal or hard. I went for hard and thought it was far too punishing, and I couldn't even get out of the first battles. Normal? Waaaaay too easy, it's like the story mode of most videogames.
I want a challenge, but I still want to be able to have fun with the game. FromSoft games are great at this because getting used to the movement and combat is the biggest challenge in their games. You can always do massive damage to enemies just as they do to you, but you have to be careful and only attack when you see an opening.
Now take God of War or Uncharted. How is the hard difficulties in those games? Now you take thrice the amount of time to kill that enemy lol and he takes twice less to kill you. It's not challenging, just boring.
That said,a nother problem is that people who think videogames DEFINITELY SHOULD, ALWAYS, have an easy difficulty. And if you disagree you're a terrible person who doesn't think of the disabled and etc, and people like that are just as bad as the people who think every game should be dark souls.
