Ciarre Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 It depends on the genre. For example, I tend to play on the hardest difficulty on any type of RPG or turn based systems. Ex: maniac mode on P3P Things like shooters though, not so much. I suck at fighters and shooters so no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarkenfire Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 I really personally dislike massive difficulty, but if there's none whatsoever, then I'm just watching a very fragmented movie. Or worse, it could just be some kind of time sink. So I prefer something in the middle. Sometimes though, I do enjoy playing a game easier just to play around with the system. I.e. bringing in the legendary cheat soldiers in XCOM, using the map editor in Civ V, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadykid Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Time to break the monotony of the same post subject over and over again. I break games and turn them into easy mode. Well, certain ones where its possible. What fun is there in playing OoT anymore when you know all those fancy glitches to get around. even better, Pokemon Green glitch because why would I play through it legitimately Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix Wright Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Unless it's a genre I'm very familiar with, I start on normal difficulty. If it's a game based around kicking ass and not much else (like God of War), I'll play them on easier difficulties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceBrand Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Normal, so that I can get a feel of the game. After I beat the game, I try Hard. And if possible a difficulty higher than hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rehab Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 I try to find a setting that makes me get better at whatever the game wants me to do in order to go on. If I'm almost totally new to the genre, as I am/was (even moreso than now) for awhile with strategy games, that might not mean taking the highest setting offered, if I feel so overwhelmed that I can't identify my mistakes, but starting on the Hard equivalent is a safe enough bet with most games, particularly recent ones as mentioned.

Mighty Kamina Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 (edited) I usually start on the hardest, or one of the harder difficulties. I just can't have fun if I'm not being challenged. Edited June 6, 2013 by Zelos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tangerine Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Always the hardest difficulty available at the start, regardless of the game. If I'm getting game overs/dying a lot then I am happy. It's when I'm not really presented with any kind of challenge that I lose interest, if I'm taking a long time to make progress it feels more rewarding to play. Assuming it's entirely my fault that it's happening and not some unbalanced crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
