what's your difficulty?

[mcj metroid]

When you start a game what is the level you start on.i usually give out to people for starting games like halo on easy or whatever just to see all the game.

 

I personally like to take my time with games.But its a real thing with me.i HAVE to play it on the hardest difficulty no matter what! it really causes a problem with some games.So i prefer for games to give you the hard option after completing normal(like metroid primes)

 

So whats your difficulty?

[Fierce_LiNk]

I'm not obsessed with games having to be difficult in order to feel some sense of accomplishment. In my mind, I just want to play the game and enjoy it. My setting of choice would be the normal default setting.

[Hellfire]

I usually start on normal, but on games that I know I will play through several times, I start with easy and complete every difficulty setting.

[Marshmellow]

I would like to say I start out at the hardest difficulty available and then beat the game with ease but i usually start on the easiest difficulty to get the hang of the game. I would then beat it, (Get achievement points:D) and then start it again on the hardest difficulty.

[Zechs Merquise]

I always go for the normal level. I hate playing through on easy as the sense of accomplishment is really diminished. However I find that certain games are too hard to play through on hard the first time around. I'll usually go back and do it on hard if I really like that game. In Resident Evil though I always choose the harder over the easier as there is initially only two settings. I also found the hard mode on Killer 7 really silly as some of the puzzles are very random and not based wholey in the world of logic.

[BlueStar]

Depends if the game is probotector.

[Cube]

I usually start games in normal. Although, I admit I chose "Easy" on Resident Evil 4. (Lets just say I'm awful at conserving stuff like ammo)

[Roostophe]

I always play it on the easiest setting, mainly because I don't play videogames for the challenge, but if I want the challenge, then I will crank up the difficulty.

[Kurtle Squad]

I usually go on the easiest setting; thoguh on some I'll go through on normal....depends what I feel like going through at the start and how hard the game's supposed to be.

 

On C&C i'll usually go through on normal though, because the computer plays craply usually otherwise.

[Samdecahedron]

I always start most games on normal difficulty, then do hard if i like the game enough, like Metroid prime. The only exception is FPSs and shooters in general, i really am bad at them, but i actually enjoy them, so i put it on easy.

[Ten10]

I normally start easy and work my way up.

[nekunando]

Normal

[Hero-of-Time]

I always start on normal unless you get something for doing it on easy. if that is the case I start on easy and work my way up. Personally im not a big fan of the difficulty levels in games, I much prefer them to just make 1 setting and leave it at that.

[Letty]

always easy.

 

I suck otherwise

[Zechs Merquise]

Depends if the game is probotector.

 

Now that was a tough game. Oh, the days when Konami could do more than MGS and games made you angry!

[fanman]

Usually the easiest one.

 

I might play through it again on harder modes if it's decent enough.

[Zell]

Never easy! Never! Always normal! Then hard!

[Tellyn]

It really depends on whether I get shot for saying easy.

[thirtynine.]

i go with the default.

except on tony hawks games where beating each one gives you something. in which case i play easy to hard.

[The Bard]

I always start on Hard, or the difficulty just above normal and just below extreme.

[That Guy]

I always played on the easiest setting, because firstly, I'm rubbish at games, and secondly I like to get through a game and see it all, then maybe play through harder once I've finished it.

[4q2]

Whatever the default level is usually.

[Goron_3]

Normal then Hard. IF there's a harder mode (like pro on resi4) i'll go onto that as soon as i can.

[Zechs Merquise]

It's a shame more games don;t give better incentives to play through on different levels of difficulty. Most are pretty dull, you take more damage, enemies take less etc. At best you get a few more enemies to blast with a little less ammo.

 

Now Goldeneye, that was great. The whole idea of having more objectives and a more complex mission as the difficulty went up was brilliant. It really added replay value to the game and made you want to come back and beat everything.

[Shorty]

i go with the default.

except on tony hawks games where beating each one gives you something. in which case i play easy to hard.

Tony Hawk's games had difficulty levels? o_o

 

I usually start on Normal. Enough to get used to the game, not so easy that you fly through it. Games like RE4 I'm definitely glad I didn't start on easy since it skips huge parts out.
