>what? You cant beat this dar-no, demon souls times 1000 level difficulty boss that flings 20 bajillion attacks at you like a broken softball machine and have the healthbar of 50 sextillion?
>guess what, you are banned from accessing half of the game's content!
>and don't try to cheese it with easy mode and handicaps, either doing so would not let you access endgame anyways or it would just be very slightly easier then beating the game normally!
Should games really be doing this shit? Everytime i tried to beat a fromsoft game or 1cc touhou i felt nothing but pure, unfiltered rage.

The content is your reward for beating the previous area. There's retarded egirls beating fromslop on DDR pads. Anyone can beat these games they're literally made for children and only redditors consider them hard games.

Touhou is harder than fromslop assuming you play on real difficulties. But it's still just memorization you can watch a video and replicate the movements.

Some activities aren't meant for everyone. The enjoyment of the people they are meant for shouldn't be hindered so that those with limitations can feel more included.

Demons Souls bosses have very little health and you can spam healing items. The levels can be tricky, but anyone can beat it. There's a reason everyone has told you to git gud for 20 years now.
Touhou is harder, but you can use continues or play on easy. Yes, if you want to reach the true boss you'll need to 1cc normal or higher, but you weren't going to beat that boss anyway. Also, the older games, which are better anyway, are easier. 8 and 4 are good noob games.

There's nothing wrong with the game not allowing you to progress until you conquer its challenges.

Yes this is very good, we need more of this. You are playing a game, more content should be a reward for getting better at the game, it's not a goddamn movie.
That said, play a real shmup.

Also, why even using shmups as an example? You can see the entire game by spamming credits.
Literally the only thing they gatekeep with difficulty is a second loop of stages you already played(but harder), and maybe one very difficult additional boss. Which is to say, nothing for players who weren't looking for a harder challenge.

If you think a bit about it, you aren't really gatekept. Just go to youtube and watch someone else play the game for you.
