I've been playing some very old games recently and I was thinking the same thing. Games on normal used to be a lot more challenging, you could die early on, you learned the game by playing with very little hand holding, you even had to go to controls to figure out you had some special move. It was fun, games are not suppose to be easy, you are suppose to challenge yourself and discover the game mechanics.

Now normal is more like old easy mode. And if that was not enough they added a story mode that is even easier then the new easy.

They say games are for everyone but AAA games are not for gamers.
