Well I'm sure it depends on the game, but what about the typical first/third person shooter? I've beaten quite a lot of shooters on the hardest difficulty, all Halos on Legendary, CoDs on Veteran, all the Gears on Insane, but was any skill involved? The only thing I've noticed when I played those games on the hardest difficulty setting was that I wasn't executing any more advanced tactics, I wasn't doing anything differently except for one thing. I was staying back, I was "camping", I was just waiting it out, killing on enemy and then waiting for a good opportunity to kill the next. I did not find it hard, just boring, tedious, and stressful. So I ask you guys, do you think beating a game on "hard" takes skill? Or just patience?
