"Too hard" to me implies that I was unable to beat the game despite putting in at least a fair amount of effort before giving up. In the few instances I can think of that being the case - Mega Man X, Cuphead, and Metroid Dread spring to mind - the fact that I couldn't beat it always overshadows whatever other positive feelings I had for the game. And of course that's only gotten worse in the internet era, when admitting this practically inundates you with "omg you actually think that game is too hard lololol!"

So yeah, even though I'm come around to appreciating a meaty gaming challenge later in life, "too hard" is still ultimately worse than "too easy."
