    if you see a movie that isn't what you expected it to be, do you complain like this

    How would that even compare? What movie requires you to pass a test to see the ending?
     
  8. I agree with morrissey. I wish all games had more customizable difficulty settings.

    but i dont play enough games to really care I guess lol

    what video game requires you to pass a test? are you saying some movies don't have a higher barrier for entry than a MCU movie? come on man.

    We are talking about Donkey Kong Country Returns HD, although as others have pointed out many platformers have the same thing. Just beating the game is not enough to get the extra content; you have to go above and beyond that challenge to just unlock the levels.

    What you are talking about is completely different. Disco Elysium is a much artier game than LEGO Star Wars, but that is more about genre than accessibility.

    I am usually much more polite than the people I am talking with. I certainly know how to talk to people better than someone who goes to a different forum to call someone names.

    It isn't really a hill to die on since even the person who was getting most personal with me admitted he couldn't play a certain type of game because it was too hard. I am often surprised at what is controversial on this forum. Sometimes I will say something that I suspect to be controversial but it is either ignored or broadly agreed with, and then I will say something like "everyone should be able to access what they paid for" and a few people get mad.

    who doesn't have access to it? simply beat the game and you will have the access? it isn't the games fault that you aren't good enough at it to do so

    It's not a perfect analogy in the same way that art is not a perfect analogy either, because video games are their own beast. But in any case, there are different games of varying difficulties to suit all gamers. And even in a game, there is content of varying difficulty to suit all gamers. The point of a challenge level is to challenge. If you take away the challenge, you defeat the purpose of it existing.

    You still haven't answered my question of if you even attempted to unlock the levels.

    He's saying you can't just beat the game to access the levels, you have to collect the KONG letters in every level to do it.

    Who is more responsible for the difficulty of a game than the game developers? Someone earlier mentioned the Super Nintendo Lion King game, which is one of the most notoriously difficult games there are, made that way to pad a lack of content. Donkey Kong is already known as much harder than the Mario series, and getting the extra things is an even bigger difficulty.
