Stupid but simple (and fun) question, would you prefer your games to be straight forward with you, no beating around the bush, making things easier, throwing lives at you and leading you into deluded ideals that everything is okay, if you die, even on hard mode you'll be okay.
God of war reminded me of bluntness, a simple YOU ARE DEAD!!!!! Was enough to motivate me to pick up my skills so that I could handle the pressure. Games in the past weren't like that, you had 3 lives, if you lost them all, GAME OVER! To be honest, I haven't even seen GAME OVER in a while :/
So how would you feel if the next Halo, Tekken etc game you played gave you 3 lives and thrust you into bullet hell and if you couldn't man (woman) up and quit whining, it scorns you for being a cissie and tells you to go buy a barbie game? Would you feel more or less motivated to play and complete it?
EDIT: How do you feel when certain games ask you if you'd like to switch to an easier mode and does it annoy you when you die for stupid reasons and have to wait ages for the loading screen and CGI clips to go pass (Over and voer) before you can play again and retry?
