Completely arbitrary Ian. The whole thing is based on subjective opinions of how diificult or easy things should be to you. Heck, if you asked me, more games need to be easy.

Go hence, to have more talk of these sad things;
Some shall be pardon'd, and some punished:
For never was a story of more woe
Than this of Sega and her Mashiro.

They are easier because they're being sold to more than kids who buy one game every three months and can play it all day to get good at it. They're sold to adults who have an hour of gaming time a day and don't want to spend it all on repeating the same section they've been repeating the last few days until they become good enough to beat it. These adults want to play for an hour and get something done which is why most games constantly let you progress and just pad their playtime with repetition (that last bit is just cost saving).

Maybe it's because F-Zero GX was made for me, but I never found once that the difficulty of the Cups or Story Mode were ever unfair. Sure, they were extremely difficult at times, but never unfair.. There were only two tracks that I would call "unfair" on Master Difficulty - the short Big Blue one and the last one with all those trippy colours.

Why must all things be so bright? Why can things not appear only in hues of brown! I am so serious about this! Dull colors are the future! The next generation! I will never accept a world with such bright colors! It is far too childish! I will rage against your cheery palette with my last breath!

Maybe more games should be easier to play so that she can beat Super Paper Mario.

EASYCURE: I remember thinking(don't ask me why) this was a blond haired, blue eyed, chiseled athlete. Like he looked like Seigfried before he became Nightmare.
