Difficulty level for games

[Necuno]

1st sweep normal then afterward hardest setting it has.

Start on normal, move up or down as needed esp when trying to unlock achievements.

I stick to normal, dont play on hard coz I havent the time to struggle and easy is well easy.

I like to start on a hard difficulty. I find normal on most games in the past 10 years to be too easy. My eyes light up when I see such difficulties as "Nightmare", "Impossible" and "Crushing".

I also prefer that a game allows you to adjust the difficulty mid game. It sucks when you playing a game on the hardest difficulty and then get to a spot that is impossible on the hardest difficulty level (normally a boss battle), and you have to start the game from the beginning to take the difficulty down a notch. This happened to me on Far Cry 1 when I played it on Nightmare, or whatever the highest difficulty was, and I just could not beat the last boss, even after 100 attempts, yet the rest of the game was manageable.

When I was a n00b I played on easy but now I play on normal, If a game is too hard and I'm dieing a lot I will scale down since its not fun to die all the time, f I die now and then that is fine, adds to the game.... Damn dogs

The difficulty of most games is substantially lower than what they used to be a few years ago, so if you were gaming a lot in that era, you'd probably find Normal too easy. I start games on Hard and go from there.

No, no, no. Never start with a hard on. It shows that you are too eager. The first level, you use to get to know the game. If you play your game right, you get the hard on by the second level. If not, the game is just not that into you

[Grimspoon]

I find if a game is to challenging I get bored very quick. I like to keep things going rather than sit on quests. Sometimes I will just smash through a game on easy and finish it rather than play it for weeks on end on hard.

[Kyubi_ZA]

I usually play on Normal or Medium to enjoy the intended experience. If I really liked the game I will play on Hard.

I played F.E.A.R on hard.

I don't play any games on easy. Easy should only be played for beginners or its too boring in my opinion.

I am going to play Modern Warfare 2 again on Hard soon
