Yeah really. I'm tempted to tell these people who complain to tr some
mainstream games, particularly some of the ones we're talking about here.
Then maybe MOTA won't seem so difficult. I love the challenge and can't wait
to play the full game.

Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Vanishing Platforms was Q9 upcoming patch
Hi Dark,
Yes, in deed. That's exactly what drew me to the NES platform when it
was introduced in the mid 80's. the games were hard, challenging, but
not so hard it couldn't be completed. You just had to work like crazy
at it.
In fact, this is one of the reasons I've started up USA games. I've
been there done that so to speak, and just find the current accessible
games lacking in this balance between difficult and completable. Even
worse when I do create something challenging I get negative feedback
of the type the game is too hard, too difficult, and I'm asked to tone
the game down some. it is obvious several VI gamers have no idea how
difficult mainstream games are, and why they drew millions of sighted
players to purchase them.
Smile.

himself
he wanted a game that he wanted specifically to create a game which was
hard
to get through, but which always had the possibility of being
completeable,
so that everytime the player tried to get through they would get a litle
further, and thus when they finally completed the game they had a real
sense
of doing something hugely difficult.
I think it's Nintendo's ability to strike this balance back in the early
days, ie, hard but not too hard that really put games, ---- and them on
the
map.
it'd be great to see this sort of thing in audio games actually, though I
know difficulty has often been a tricky subject.
Beware the Grue!
Dark.
