Easy, Normal, or Hard?

[XSGames]

What difficulty level do you like to play games at?

[Swarmfly]

Hardened.

[DarkCrystalMethod]

All of the above.
Easy: Exploring all the hidden areas, weapons, strategies, etc
Normal: Ok, how hard could this possibly be. Later:Yikes, at least I survived
Hard: I've now mastered everything and will conquer this game and make it my... well its an expression Mr. Romero once used.

Normal for the first run, then I change it to hard

[🍋 Lemonfed 🍋]

easy or normal depending on which game the genre is from.

I only pick hard if it's a game I've done a few time and already know very well.

What’s your preference, OP?

I usually play on hard. For example, I recently beat Metal Gear Solid 3. I put it on the most difficult setting, which is European Extreme, and I didn't even end there, I made it even more difficult by restricting myself to non-lethal weapons only, and even defeated the final boss with fists and a snot rag. And it was the most fun I've had in any Metal Gear title.

Games with these modes are what I like but generally they are never hard enough. I love a challenge and a good game. A challenge adds so much genuine time to a game. But most games are easy on hard such as most single player shooters or rpgs on hard. Even dark souls/elden ring are easy as hell. Like dark souls 1 took a ton of skill, still does. But every game after got easier and lost the meaning of souls like.

Usually normal the first time, because I figure it's called normal for a reason.

Usually normal, then it depends on the game. Rage 2 i played on the hardest difficulty quickly, because even then it´s quite normal to play. Total War games i play on very hard, as the AI can´t work properly below that. Frostpunk i played on every difficulty, because the achievements worked that way and the scenarios are short.

But usually i play on normal to get a feel for it and then go from there, for the same reason shoopy stated...

Ironman or hardest as long as there aren't any damage sponge enemies.

[HypersleepyNaputunia]

Normal , hard for killing floor2 tho

I usually play on "Hard" however if it's a casual game that I don't want to invest a lot of time into then I'd play "Normal" mode.

I do usually pick the normal difficulty until I master the videogame.. And if I still happen to feel excited about playing the game, I might check the harder difficulties out.

If I'm completely new to the genre, I do pick the easiest difficulty, but switch to harder if possible once I get the hang of it.

Depends on the game. Terraria? Master mode all the way, baby. An unpausable RTS? Easy, always.
