@gamingonlinux I'm a "put hard mode first" gamer kind. But I like the option to skip it when it gets tenuous.
In fact I'd go even farther, and wish there were a "skip the mecanistic part and storymode only". I had once had a very nice romance puzzle game, and got stuck on one of them.
I couldn't even see the last bit of the story, it felt like being bullied.

Good games don't even need difficulty settings, if their gameplay's depth includes enough to make everyone play at their own level of skill and still find a satisfying challenge.
I especially think about good arcade games. Masterpieces like Ikaruga or Crazy Taxi, which you can play superficially, or more deeply to reach the real challenge.
Even when you're not a highly skilled player, you have fun.
If you're a badass warrior from hell™, you still have fun.
