Do You Play Games on Easy, Normal or Hard?

[Phil]

Easy - I like casual playthrough

If there's an Ultimate I play that. I want to feel everything game has to offer.

It really depends on the game. I normally just do Medium. I feel like medium is where most people focus on making their game, it's what they program around, then they make it harder/easier to play. So I personally feel like most games "true" game mode is easy. If it's a cozy style game though I'll do easy, and if it's a FPS style or competitive/skill based game I'll do the hardest difficulty. It truly does depend on the game for me

I tend to start playing games on either easy or normal, and once I have played through the game once, if I really enjoyed the game, I will then play through it again on hard difficulty, knowing what is to come and what to expect.

I tend to start on easy to get used to the game.

If it then rewards me with trophies for finishing it on harder difficulties, I'll give it a go.

I usually start with normal difficulty. I think that's more balanced for most games. I don't like easy mode as it's too soft and boring. Hard mode can be very frustrating too. So, I prefer the normal difficulty level.

I've played most of my games on normal mode because I have this mentality that it is the best approach to go. I can switch to difficult mode when I realize that the normal mode is not giving me what I want. I want to play games when it is challenging, which is why I tweak more towards difficult mode than easy mode.

It actually depends on whether I am able to play and enjoy the game. If the hard mode is impossible to play, I go on easy until I can figure it out. Otherwise I take on the challenge.

It depends on the game which I'm about to play. For most Souls games I play, I start out on easy mode to get how things are done before I switch to hard.

It depends. Most times, I usually prefer playing my games on normal; then, on very rare occasions, I play on hard if normal feels too easy.

 

[proxycore]

Sometimes on 'difficult' and often on 'normal'; I don't play on 'easy' anymore—I used to do that when I was literally 5 years old.

That’s right. If you are just starting the game then normal feels right, at least until you can understand the game better to be able to play on hard mode.

Exactly, playing the game to enjoy myself and have a good time, not to overchallenge myself into frustration.
