10 Video Games You Should Play On Easy

Despite being the fourth instalment, Street Fighter IV is perhaps the most volatile and controversial in its difficulty features. The Rival Battles are really the most obvious part of the game where the mechanics seem more than a little unfair, with Ryu being the most common culprit to come up against. It's bad enough that players have to conquer six terribly scaled fights to even get to their rival showdown, but the fights once they get there are beyond unfair, especially in the harder modes.

Rivals in Street Fighter IV on the harder modes routinely read a player's input and counter their attacks up to 90% of the time in some instances. That is simply no way to enjoy a game.

Players encounter Seth after their Rival battle where the insane amount of countering and spamming continues. Once again, it is only through precise, underhand tactics that players will actually find themselves in a position to take down the AI-controlled opponent, giving these harder difficulty bosses a feeling of exploitation rather than skill-based enjoyment.

The game's easy modes are still noticeably harder than other games in the franchise, but they remain the best chance players have for making their Street Fighter IV experiences fun.
