| i dont play many games but i always try hardest first played lisa recently and didn't realize hard mode had very limited saves gave anxiety to choices and consequences that i think was earned but yeah, been choosing hardest since i played halo as a kid that said, there's nothing wrong with whatever difficulty you want to play on it's dumb to judge others for how to enjoy games i think celeste is a game that comes to mind that handles this so perfectly with accessible cheats for every level of player it's encouraging enough to make you want to turn them off and earn things, but it doesn't hinder players who cant or just would rather not |
| I do play most of my games in easy or normal. That's just because I'd rather pay full attention to the story, rather than having to repeat a certain part a lot of times just because it's too difficult. |
 |
| sometimes I do because normally then i'm there for the story/ doing stupid crap while battling and it's fun |

_Nette_ said: As an adult I have come to the realization I have less time and energy to actually focus on a game at hand. That's why I have picked up the habit of playing games on the easiest setting because I have learned I am not here for a challenge but instead to experience the game and have fun. But that's just me, what about you? And I know this opens the door to so much abuse from hardcore gamers but I don't give a fuck. Scrub pride! I feel like you get the most out of the game when you crank it up. I can breeze through the game on the easier settings and never need to experiment with most of the games mechanics. The sense of danger at the higher settings adds a thrill and sense of accomplishment. Used to agree with the time constraints notion, but I realized there's no rush to complete a game. |
| nahh, aint turned on the xbox one in over a year. sick of the WOKE shiz being slapped into games. |
| i also prefer to make my games easier when i can. if i'm playing a video game, it's because i want to have fun. grinding and dying isn't fun, and i'm tired of people pretending that it is. get some help |
| if normal difficulty is a pain, then i go easy mode |
| BWAHHHHHHHHHHH |
| I play most games on normal for the first time, but once it's beaten, I go in again on Hard difficulty |
 |
| I pretty much always play games on normal for the first playthrough unless I need to win on a higher difficulty for an achievement and cbs doing two playthroughs If I play a game a second time or NG+ I always play on harder difficulties |

| no, there's no fun that way.. Beating a game on a "Easy Difficulty" doesn't satisfy me (Beating a game in a normal, hard or insane difficulty would do).. |
| Only with X-Com because of the bullshit RNG. |
 |
| Normal Difficulty :3 Playing on Easy mode feels like I'm cheating lol |
| I had a phase when I was obsessed with playing everything on the highest difficulty, but in most cases it was just not fun and pure torture, especially in poorly balanced games. I don't play much these days, except BL visual novels, but I'd play on normal and would choose easy only if I'm re-playing something, since in that case difficulty doesn't matter to me. |
| I oftenly go with the normal difficulty for the games with the genre that I think I can play rather nicely |

| it depends if im new to the game |
| I'll typically play through games on a normal difficulty. It's a fair balance between it not being a cakewalk and having limited time now that my schedule is busier. |
| I play at normal difficulty first and if the game is interesting and fun that I can play it again then I play at a higher difficulty. |
  |
| If it's single player story based stuff like Wolfenstein, Elder Scrolls, Witcher, Fallout than yes though I will increase the difficulty if I'm just foot stomping everything but never too high that I cannot focus on the plot. If it's online PVE stuff like Killing floor 2, Zombie army 4, Payday 2, than I will usually play the easiest difficulty early on and generally work my way to the highest possible difficulty before settling on the second highest as foot stomping everything is boring but being forced to stick to the meta with no forms of deviation like a robot is equally boring. I like a challenge as well as reading up on or coming up tactics & strategy but not being able to play ad lib is pretty boring too |
| I'm a real gamer, I always play with hard difficulty. |

| Normal difficulty for everything. I'll replay the game on higher difficulty if I really enjoyed the said game, I think it's stupid to play on hard difficulty on the get go. Normal difficulty is perfect for being not too easy and not too hard, you get to enjoy the story as well. Fuck me if you enjoy replying first few missions/quests 10x times and dying a lot. |
| I play on the hardest difficulty, not because of the sentiment on overcoming a challenge and be rewarded, but I do it because it gets my adrenaline pumping, frustration and all. Then it'll be assuage later and it would feel the same way like when a wound is trickled in alcohol. The pain feels so good. |

| Sometimes, but I will raise it depending on the game. |
"Molly Ringwald" out right now - check my Linktree!  |
| If I struggle on normal difficulty I go easy mode,and if I like the game I raise the difficulty when I've finished it and try again. |
 |
| I play games the wrong way especially for Pokemon I like to do nuzlockes or other weird ass challenges |
   |
| Sometimes, when I experience a lot of genre/series fatigue like with the Kiseki saga. You can bet I was playing Sen 3&4 on Easy after 7 long games. However, sometimes it would ruin the game. I remember when I put in infinite money gameshark code on SRW OG 2, got max upgrades on 2nd stage and quit the game. Later I restarted it and played with natural progression. Imo it just feels an important part of the game to pick your favorites and manage your resources based on that, rather than power through the story which has cool parts but ultimately it's not the important thing. I will say that I feel like combat in general has began to feel like a chore in most games and I usually yawn when I see a trailer about killing stuff in RPGs over exploration. I'd say these days most important things in game is atmosphere (art, music, design) >waifus >exploration> story >combat. |
| not including fighting games or mmos, yes. always. i do not like a challenge |
 |
| usually, if i do not know better and if i am told i can change the difficulty later on, i choose normal. unless it is a game where you have to grind and drag your feet through the soil even in normal, which is not usually the case but. i will choose easy if i know the previous to be true, or if i am more interested in getting into the story more than actually playing a game if that makes sense. i'm far more involved in the plotline of a game typically, with the actual game mechanics being a second thought. it depends heavily on the type of game i'm playing though. some also make the easy difficulty way too lenient. |
| Nothing wrong with easy difficulty to be honest. Games should be... well, fun. I don't have to prove anything to anyone. People can have different definitions of fun though, so nothing wrong with playing on ultra nightmare as well :P I do a bit of everything. I'm usually sad that higher difficulty means more damage and hp on enemies. It would be lovely, to see different tactics or special moves. |

| it really depends. if its a game from a series that im familiar with i usually play on normal or hard. but if its something thats known to be hard or something im brand new to with all around then usually i play on the easiest settings, and if i like it i will replay it at some point on the hardest setting |
 |
| I used to, as a kid. Nowadays I mostly choose Normal. Especially when I used emulators with save states. But it really depends on the game. Tiny Toons ACME All-Stars is an example of the game where I can easily defeat CPU even on Extra Hard mode, while Daytona USA 2001 is a game that's frustratingly hard to me even on Easy mode. |

 I respect your opinion as long as you respect mine. |
| I always go for the medium difficulty setting at first. If I ever play the game again, I go for the higher difficulties. |
  |
| Mostly on normal, although I completed Witcher 3 on the highest difficulty on my first playthrough. |
| Hell no, I always start out on Normal then go up from there. Period |
 |
| yes usually i do bc im a wuss |
