Normal or whatever the default difficulty is. I can usually do good, not great, just good on normal so i don't really feel the need to make it harder

I'm the sort of player that dosen't go looking for a hardcore challenge with games, as I generally just like to have fun with them. So I typically start most games on medium setting (easy if I'm really bad at it). And if I feel I'm up to the challenge, I'll give higher difficulties a go.

Typically the hardest since that will force me to use more forethought before advancing into enemy engagement. It's the reason why I love stealth games so much.

EDIT: That is, of course, bearing in mind that the game doesn't include mechanics that are totally new to me.

Easy due to simply wanting to be able to complete it. When I do complete the game I often go back to play it at a higher difficulty, though. I completed MW2 on the highest difficulty. It was torture, but I did it...

Depends on what I'm playing. If it's an RPG or shooter style, or puzzle game I tend to go for the hardest setting they allow for. If it's a arcade fighter however I tend to noob it up a bit so I can get used to the game.

I always start on Normal. If the game is very well made I will usually complete a second playthrough on a higher difficulty.

I usually play on easy or normal nowdays just because I'm so busy. My goal is to get through the game and experience.

usually medium/normal, unless it's a sequel to a series that Ive already completed on Hardest diffuculty. For example, every Metal Gear game Ive played sincee MGS2, I started off on the hardest difuculty given.

Depends entirely on the game. I start with default settings and if it gets frustrating I turn the difficulty down, if it's too easy I turn the difficulty up.

I typically start on Normal, just to get a feel for the game and a sense of just how difficult it might be. If the challenge feels about right, or even if it's a little tougher than expected, I'll continue on that setting. If it's too easy, I'll restart on Hard. I don't think I've ever played a game on the Easy mode.

Depends on how well my system runs it and how much I'm familiar with the genre. COD games, I usually play on hardest. GRAW2 I played on hardest. Max Payne 3 I played on normal since I was figuring out the best tactics, and even on normal it was a challenge. Racing games I play with easy physics, but difficult opponents. I like the Need For Speed go-kart feeling.

If I'm serious about the game, get good framerates, and really like the concept right off the bat, I'll play it on the hardest.

Usually Normal/Default settings for most games, unless it's a genre I'm not familar w/ or don't think I'd feel comfortable in doing normal in. Normal gives me just that nice balance of challenge and enjoyment of the content/story of the game. I don't bother w/ Hard settings as I'm not the type that gets enjoyment out of needlessly torturing myself on a game. I'm far from a patient gamer, lol.

Either Easy or Normal

Depends on how challenging the game is.

I always play on the hardest setting possibly so that I get the most out of a game (I enjoy a challenge). Unless the 'hard' difficult actually translates into 'really cheap and designed to simply lengthen gameplay and nothing else!'.

I always start my games on Normal. Just way I played it since NES days. Except Halo, I start on Heroic there for some reason.

Usually hard mode, I like the feeling of accomplishment defeating hard enemies. I save the hardest mode for last and usually like to finish them but some rare cases it ruins the game for me so i don't do it.

some examples are : Silent hill 2 (it get's annoying fighting in that game. Games like that shouldn't be all action) , Doom (i love playing it on ultra violence but nightmare just kills it for me, game basically turn's into a run away dont stop to shoot speed run.

Generally just normal. Might bump it up to a higher difficulty if I want a challenge after beating it.

what game difficulty do you play your games at?

I play mostly on easy these days. Having a bunch of games that I havent finished yet. Playing them all on easy seems to be the best bet for me to finish them all. Plus im lazy.

I always play Dark Souls on easy, everyday pretty much

Normal, but it really depends on the game.
