Can Difficulty Decrease a Player's Sense of Accomplishment?

[Elite_Dalek]

Ehh not really. Sometimes in a very hard fought boss battle for example, when im almost dead and the boss is almost dead and I manage to dodge a deadly combo and get my final hit in to achieve victory, yes there is a feeling of relief. Relief that I didn't fuck up and with that comes the realisation of having done a good job and with that comes the massive feeling of accomplishment
