Poll, on what difficulty mode do you play TLOU?

Normal. I play all my games on normal. Making one mistake losing half to a quarter of my health isn't fun to me.

[Shock_&_Awe]

Survivor or higher usually.

[WolfishMeat7]

the highest difficulty only

[fishball]

Moderate on first playthrough, then hard and survivor

[Devsman]

PS3 version, I did one playthrough on normal, one on survivor, two on grounded.

I play on hard but I put ally behavior on moderate. Feels better when they help from time to time but they don't do it that often that it would trivialize combat.

[Plaster Cramp]

Started on normal then dropped straight down to easy, I really suck at stealth games haha.

Grounded Always.

Started on Hard, intending to replay on Grounded.

Grounded for the first play if ya think you're good enough. Then turn it down for 2nd play for collectibles and goofy strats. It's a single player game about the struggle. Try and capture that experience the first time. Once you remember where stuff is, the magic isn't quite the same. Not worth it if you die a bunch and really mess up story pacing.

I wouldn't recommend Grounded for the first play through, it will be difficult and some area you'll constantly die and zone out and forget about the story and get frustrated.

I would say Normal - Hard for first playthrough, Survivor if you absolutely must.

First time, started it on 'hard'. Got butchered by the first three enemies immediately lol.

It's also just a completely different experience playing on normal vs survivor, with hard I'm assuming being somewhere in between.

And the normal mode way of playing is a lot of fun. You can do things like shoot someone, retreat, then molotov the guys who came to investigate the sound of the gunshot. You don't really get the resources to do that kind of thing often on survivor/grounded.

I have beaten games like Horizon Zero Dawn, God Of War and TLOU straight on hardest difficulty for the first playthrough having never played them before. Yes I died a lot but I didn't care one iota.

I like the challenge and its about getting my skill better to be able to pull it off. The feeling at the end is something you cannot put into words.
