I had a lot of games on PS4 where the difficulty isn't "why" I stopped, but the lengthy loads when I died was.

I'm perfectly happy dying a bunch of times in a row, provided the deaths are fair and consistent. I have a big issue with waiting 5-10 minutes to replay a section that doesn't last meaningfully longer than that.

Getting a PS5 let me go back to a lot of those games and properly enjoy the brutal difficulty without the headaches.
