Old games are not that hard.
Some of them are a bit challenging but that's about it.
Modern games really do hold your hand in a lot of cases...

lol - did anyone else ever play snake rattle and roll or ninja gaiden (both NES)?
In each case, I got to the end boss and couldn't finish it. I couldn't even tell if I was hurting the boss or not.
On snake rattle and roll - that was the hardest lump of cheese (literally, the final boss was a block of cheese) I've ever fought.
Games nowadays aren't challenging. I can't remember the last time I got stuck on a game.

Yes!
I don't find games fun because they're easy...
There's no challenge in just playing a game that completes itself. There's also no feeling of accomplishment...
If the game holds your hand the entire way you haven't really done anything...

Meh. I play games for the story and the visuals, and to me at least, excessive challenge in a video game prevents me from enjoying it. I can't enjoy the wonderful story if I can't get past that one boss, now, can I?
Video games are entertainment. You shouldn't need to become "the pro" at them to enjoy them or beat them. The hallmark of a good game is that anyone can pick it up and be good at it within 5 minutes of playing.

That's the hallmark of a good game that is good by virtue of teaching you how to play not because it's so easy a toddler can do it. The character you play has to have a challenge and because you play that character you need the challenge otherwise the story is pathetic. Imagine if you played an RPG and there was absolutely no challenge. You haven't done anything and neither has your character. Nothing has changed, a film or a book with a story where the character isn't challenged would never be read because there's nothing happening.

That's not the Hallmark of a good game, otherwise every FPS is a good game just because everyone knows how an FPS works.
