Has your skill level taken a hit this gen,cause of the lower difficulty?

Did you become rusty,cause of the greatly lowered difficulty in games?

I kinda did...

lol I really don't agree about difficulty. I think it is just as difficult as always. Some games more than others and some not so much. Can people give me direct examples and comparisons? I see some easy streamlining, but in areas games are super hard too.

No. It varies from game to game anyhow.

Definetly. I remember when I first got Ratchet and Clank on my PS2 I was able to rush through there, no matter what. Now I'm dieing a lot there in the HD Collection version and often thought "Dang, can't remember it was THAT difficult"

On the other hand I of course got older, so this might also affect it.

Well skill varies from game to game, but games havent gotten much easier, its just that way back then games used cheap tricks to make you die faster.

No. I always play racing games with all assists turned off and the AI set at its highest difficulty. As far as action/adventure/RPG stuff, I occasionally play those at their highest difficulty level if I'm going for the plat. Though at medium difficulty most are a walk in the park.

Across the genres I've played I'd say it's gotten better. If you complain about the difficulty, most games have higher difficulties now. Just change it.

My have improved since this gen they reduce the amount of cheap deaths in games.

I don't think so. If a game is too easy for my I will increase the difficulty level

No generally I think the ease in difficulty is a result of good design decisions over poor ones. Compared each gen to each other and I feel as if game design gets better, developers making better decision which may or may not curb difficulty

Multiplayer games at least have gotten so much harder though ex:DotA2, SC2

Well skill varies from game to game, but games havent gotten much easier, its just that way back then games used cheap tricks to make you die faster.

Well said and in some cases games are easier soley because you can save and in some games you can save anytime and anywhere.

I agree with the above two points.
