    I used to like difficult games growing up. Felt like it was something worth playing for. If it’s too easy, what’s the point of just running through the game without any obstacles…

      I like difficulty, and I love stealth, but I really, really don’t enjoy insta-fail stealth. Having the enemy react and start hunting you is half the fun.

      You get to enjoy the story in its fullest without forced breaks that get you out of it.

      And you get to do cool stuff without having to worry about failing and having to start over.

      Having to do the same thing over and over until you beat it is incredibly boring.

      That is the point of an easy difficulty. It is fun and quick.

        Yeah I can understand if you play it for the story, then it’s annoying to not be able to continue easily. Good point.
