Two types of gamers

Me, a level 2 with a level 80 friend: Haha, you're in danger

The second example is pretty much dark souls

the harder it is the more fun it is.
(doesn't just apply to games)

The second one is me in any playthrough of The Witcher 3 after the first one...

Yeah, two types everywhere: some are in it for the fun, some for the fame.

I am both of these people

I think a lot of us start off as the second, then we have our own "come to Jesus meeting," and then we become the first.

I fight the level 20 boss at lv 2, taking 4 hours for a fight that is supposed to take 15 minutes tops, needing to time every move perfectly and use every dirty trick and clever move, every inch of the environment and possibly any AI or engine exploits available, downing thousands of dollars of health items (if the game has them,) and wasting consumable items and money at a rate of 100x what I should be. Then likely get an item or something I can’t use because of level, or not enough money to cover the cost of the fight itself. Eventually I get to lv 80 and am disappointed because there are no challenges left as my character and game skills/tactics in game have progressed to a point where anything that would be “challenging” isn’t fun because the devs basically just made an enemy that is impossible to kill or has a combination of cheap moves and non avoidable one shots so they could say they had a challenge for high lv players- but it isn’t actually fun because it’s not a battke of wit

The second one: Me last night replaying skyrim

I was straight up the 2nd type with the giants in skyrim... that was a fun and aggravating afternoon haha
