does the difficulty of a game turn you off from playing it?

Only if it's too easy. Not being challenged isn't fun unless it's as a reward for getting past something difficult (i.e. the end of Metroid: Zero Mission). Everyone should enjoy being challenged, it makes getting past the challenge all the more fun

Also take off your name OP.

this

if its a jrpg thats too hard, i aint gonna waste ages grinding. if its an action game or shooter thats too easy, i aint gonna waste time slogging through a snoozefest

Depends on how it's difficult.

If it's a game where I get shot and killed from a mile away in one instant where the only way out is to take advantage of dumb AI or be lucky, yes.

If it's not fun, yes.
I play video games to enjoy myself.

Things like Touhou are problems because:
>More fun the higher a difficulty you play them on
>Higher difficulty means you're more likely to be repeating the same part of the game over and over
>Spamming continues is a "feels bad man" thing

If it's not horseshit. I gave up on the last boss of NG3RE because the entire boss was just 2 hours of tedious fighting enemies while your magic gauge builds up.
>>
If it's too easy, yeah. There's no satisfaction in playing a game when my chance of winning the first try is 100%
>>
>>345034506
Depends on if it's fair.
A game can be hard as hell but if it's fair it's fine
>>
Not really, when i get to a difficult part i tend to keep playing well past the point where it stopped being fun.

i almost gave up on persona 4 because of that 8-bit boss it was shit

>>345034506
If it's too hard, no. No it doesn't. In fact, it makes me try harder to conquer it. If it's too easy, then really that's debatable as it could be fun as fuck and still be easy but if it's boring and easy then that turns me off from playing it.
