Sure. And the good games you feel satisfied with playing through the sequence a few times, thinking, "Well, that felt good to overcome!"(DKCR). And the bad challenging games you throw yourself into a brick wall again and again until you get through it, thinking, "Well, never want play that piece of shit again"(Super Meat Boy).
Super Meat Boy has one of the greatest, most perfectly tuned difficulty levels of any game. Sorry, ViewitfulJC, you just might be a weaksauce gamer. Especially since DKCR is crap in the avenue of challenge - only the tomb/temple levels were remotely interesting. It's OK, never hold anything against you. Viewtiful Joe is amazing and for that we must find common ground
