What difficulty for your games ?

What difficulty setting do you play your games at. I usually play on hard. I just started FEAR 2 on hard. I believe it lengthens the game (so many restarts lol), but also allows you to appreciate the game a bit more.

Call me crazy but I find it more fun when I constantly die. So hardest for me! It's just far more satisfying fighting things that can actually kill you.teh_VU

Normal for my gamesJd1680a

I play on normal 95% of the time...I have to admit though, if I keep biting it in a certain area it completely takes the fun out of the game for me, so I turn the difficulty down to easy in those instances. I'm not a hardcore gamer. I like to have fun...not pull my hair out.

edit, Millerlight89--I had the same thing happen to me in ME. It wasn't until halfway through the game where I did a facepalm and thought, "Oh, man...so that's how I should have done it". Maybe my problem is that I rarely read the game manual. I just jump in.

i prefer hard difficulty unless the scaling is done so i have to dump a clip and a half into an enemies head, (normal enemy, not even a boss)

then i put it on normal...

but if it has any other type of difficulty scaling then i crank up the difficulty.

im fine with less ammo, less health, more enemies, smart enemies, faster enemies.. but damn near invincible enemies that is something i dont like.

I start every game at provided default difficulty level. If I find too tough, then I switch to lower difficulty level. It's not a shame to play video games on easy difficulties - as long as I'm enjoying it's fine for me. After all it's my game and gaming is entertainment for me not a living. :)arijit_2404

I used to play Command and Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars, and on Brutal you died in the first few minutes of the battle :cry:GwannaSauna

Hardest for most games. If it just becomes too frustrating, then I'll scale it back.cd_rom

What if you cant scale it back? I used to play easy but now its normal/medium , when i get to a part where i keep dying and i cant quicksave (cod5), i end up frustrated and hating the game. So easy if theres no quicksave , normal if there is:)

I really used to play on easy because i wanted to play as a powerful charcter, i mean if you expect one man to kill a army, make him powerful

Can you track me or something cuz I can't get into you pfile its private, Never can have too many good pc gaming buddies. ;)millerlight89

It depends i usually play fps and some RTS at Hard

while the rest like driving, platformers i play at normal

I rarely play on the top setting as these are often truly hardcore ... I simply dont have the dedication for that. So its normally the one before the hardest. If theres only 3 options (easy - normal - hard) then id go for hard.

I started playing Fallout 3 on hardest ... but I just wasnt enjoying it. It wasnt satisfying when every minor creature took 3 clips to take down(maybe I just suck but either way). It just wasnt fun for me.

I usually play on normal,or when a game is so brutally hard (like Nexus) or strategy games in general on Easy.If that makes me un-hardcore well I don't care ;)wackys

well i use to think of myself as a hardcore gamer, but im not, i just game, looking upon oneself or others as hardcore gamers is promoting elitism, and that is something i dont want to be a part of.

I should play games on hard; I can handle it, and it lengthens the game, makes it more fun.

But I really like to make progress, so I usually do it on medium.

Tbh Crysis on delta difficulty was simply amazing.

Difficulty goes something like this:

Easy - for new born babies or people with a serious form of brain disorder.

Normal - for children or people just chilling out, trying to perform some footage and take screenshots.

Hard - beginner difficulty, offers good balance between killing and dying. Makes the game much more enjoyable first time through as you feel you actually achieved something.

Very hard/Insane - pro zone, nerd zone, awesome zone. You die many times, you break keyboard many times, you complete game once and feel like an absolute god. This is where real games are at - Crysis + Warhead on Delta difficulty is how its meant to be played! This is the nvidia difficulty.

I play my games on Hard the first time through, then attempt with the hardest difficulty a second time and use just that afterwards.

Recently I played Crysis and FEAR 1 on Hard - they were both pretty easy. I think playing a lot of Left 4 Dead these holidays (I'm up to 100 hrs) has improved my FPS skills a bit. Finished all three Thief games on Hard difficulty - I don't think I could ever do Expert. I remember it took me a entire day to beat that Cathedral level, looking for the last piece of treasure. How anyone could do that on Expert is beyond me. biggest_loser

Easy then hardest possible!!!

Easy let's you experiment

Insane gives you bragging rights:)
