If A is a success in life, then A equals X plus Y plus Z. Work is X; Y is play; and Z is keeping your mouth shut.
Most teachers waste their time by asking questions that are intended to discover what a pupil does not know, whereas the true art of questioning is to discover what the pupil does know or is capable of knowing.
The only way to escape the corruptible effect of praise is to go on working.

Remember, to every every joke there is a hint of truth. So in a sense he's not entirely wrong.
Your face's not entirely wrong!

@ZeroZX_Dev At least Nintendo makes them mostly different. While Mario's new content often required it to be a new game, CoD's could literally be a DLC.
Except for the story, so I guess they have a fair reason. But who buys CoD for the story anyway?

"When you can do something by magic, where's the sense of accomplishment? It's far more gratifying to put in the time and effort to reap your reward."
This isn't a direct quote because it's been forever since I've read Eldest, but the point is, just because it CAN be done easily doesn't mean it should. You still get bragging rights for doing things the hard way, but people don't get unnecessarily pushed away by the game's inaccessibility. I think that's the real reason all of these games have an easy mode. It keeps some players from giving up and going home. The difficulty is still there. I still felt a great sense of accomplishment in completing certain games despite there being an easy option.
For instance, Super Mario 3D World makes note of whether or not you use the pity leaf. You get better bragging rights for not using it. However, you also don't GET the pity leaf in later levels. I think it's the last three worlds, but it may just be Champion's Road. Similarly, DKCR has a Hard Mode where I think the pity power up is missing, as well as a number of other effects to make the levels much more difficult.
To put it another way, in the upcoming Smash Bros, you could just play through the Classic mode on low difficulty or spam 1-stock VS. matches to get a good number of the characters. However, you can also go for the harder method of finding their unlock conditions, such as
Bowser Jr. being unlocked when you play through Classic on 7.0 difficulty or higher with Bowser. You have to actually beat the mode on 7.0 or higher. If you die and the difficuty drops below 7.0, you won't get Bowser Jr.
Why is this any worse than that? It just offers players multiple ways of playing a game, because you can't expect everyone to play the game the exact same way you do.
Oh come on, he finally makes a post somewhere else, and an awesome post at that, and then the thread gets locked...well I'm not gonna let it die there. Bravo, man, well said.
