Video games have been a part of our culture for almost 50 years and have become somewhat mainstream and at the start of the third generation video games almost became a thing of the past but nintendo came into the picture and saved the industry[fact not opinion]. When people first put in Super Mario bros in that NES, they knew they were going to have treat. In those days people didn't have things like 3d graphics , wi-fi, online game guides, G4tv,save options, and generous checkpoints, you had to beat games by the skin of your teeth. People up to even 10-15 years ago had to work extremely hard just to find a dumb fairy or power up. People used to spend hours, days, and even months trying to beat a boss or get 100% in game, now you can beat a game in 5 weeks or less. I personally like to have online help in my games and faster completion time mean they will need higher replay value. So you ask if i think most games today are easier then those of yesterday[ i say yes]. you ask me do i think that most games being easier make games dull[ if a games good, a games good].
Quick joke: easier games mean fewer smashed TVs, system, and controllers.
