I just beat RE5 and feel because of the co-op the game is way to easy and so is a lot of games now a days. I remember playing the NES and struglling through a bunch of games and the original Resident Evil's struggling to survive was what made the games fun but now with a lot of games becoming co-op and causal gamers dominating the market video games have become too easy what is your opinion are video games too easy? If you know of any games that are actually difficult besides Nnja Gaiden let me know.

I think we've all just become accustomed to games getting progressively easier now, so now nothing really seems like a challenge anymore. I remember how long it took me to beat the first RE game, took me FOREVER!!!!

games seem to be getting easier in some ways and harder in others, it is a lot easier to actually complete games now but the games are more detailed and seem to require more thinking than they used to.

I don't feel that video games have become too easy.

I have been stuck on " No Fighting In The War Room" on Veteran in Call of Duty 4 for a couple weeks now.

I also still haven't beaten Ninja Gaidan 2 on the "Path of the Master Ninja" difficulty yet either.

I think that some have.Games like pac-man,donkey kong,etc. made you think about patterns and algorhythms.Whereas newer games are almost more movie based.They look good and are fun,but not as hard as the old school games.But on the harder settings games can still be hard.

Yes, video games have been easy ever since Sony casualized the industry back in the 90's.

Yes they are but you have to also remember with time your skills get better,more adjusted to the controller,and etc. Though i don't think they're too easy i prefer to play games for fun not rip my hair out on super dooper impossible mode.

Agreed, some games are just plain easy, even on the harder difficulties. However, I do not mind this, I grew up in the days of the NES as well. I probably didn't finish over half of my NES games. Today, if I'm going to spend $40-$60 on a game, I want to finish it, and not get stuck on some frustrating jump that takes weeks to get over, just then to die a second later and have to start all over! So it is fine with me that games are getting easier!

*looks at ninja gaiden*-no. it depends a lot on your skill and the type of game and as well as important, the difficulty setting. but the old games sure put this gen ones in the pocket . still, im not disappointed, but fable2 is a good example as an "easy" game.

It all depends on what difficulty you play. For example Call of Duty, veteran takes a long time to beat while if you are playing on recruit, you can breeze right through it. There are some games that are way to easy, like Fable 2, while some games are really hard no matter what difficulty you set the game on.
