I normally set the difficulty on Normal, however if i am playing a horror game (doom 3 for example) I normally play it on the easiest difficulty on my first run through of the game.

I play on either normal or hard. It depends on the game and what I feel like when I first press Start. If there's an achievement or trophy for going through the game on a harder difficulty I'd be more inclined to choose hard.

depends on the game. If it is a new madden or sports game i tend to start off easy for a game or two to get controls and stuff. Then i go on all madden. If it is a game i have played the series like MGS, Splinter cell what have you, i tend to do normal. After normal I play on hard if i like the game that much.

i tend to play on hard but if i know the game is noted for being extremely difficult, like ninja gaiden, i'll test it out on normal or easy depends.

It depends on the game, but normal is my usual choice. If it is game that I enjoy I will play it trough in hard mode and if there is still harder mode then that.

start on normal hen go from there. i'm more of a story person the first time through anyways and repeatedly getting killed kind of takes away from that. the dying is for the second playthrough on harder levels.

Usually normal first. But my brother convinced me to start Dead Space on hard. So maybe this is the start of a new trend for me.

I almost always choose normal and then maybe once more after i beat it one time. On the second playthrough I usually like to test out the weapons i gained from previous plays. I don't like the fact that you put novice in parenthesis after normal.

I go for normal everytime to get used to the controls in the game. After I finish my first time around I got back to play it on the most difficult setting.

It depends, mainly when i first start a new game i set it too hard but sometimes the hard difficulty is just annoying and becomes more about luck than skill, when a games difficulty is done right playing on ard can be a more rewarding expierence and IMO can provide more enjoyment for your cash.

If the game is just annoying on hard(FEAR) and basically all your doing is trying to luck your way to the next checkpoint after dying 10 times i will set it too medium.

Gears of war(i cannot think of a ps3 game i have played on hard, i think i played RFOM on medium and ninja gaiden on medium, also i cannot remeber what i played heavenly sword and uncharted on medium also i think) had a perfect hard setting, it was difficult but it felt more realistic as you could only take a few shots(1 head shot) which is how things really go and having the cover element allowed for some strategic battles on hard, i think KZ2 will be similar as rainbow six was also a good game on hard, that may be the difference as when theres a cover mode you have some where to evade bullets where as in other shooters its basically run around and shoot which involes allot of luck , halo 3 was like that i played that on hard and it would take several attempt to clear a checkpoint.

Also why do you have medium novice, it should just be easy/medium/hard but since you put a term to each med should be intermediate as a novice is a beginner.

Normal, I like to know the story and not get frustrated lol, and also jump online A.S.A.P. I make it a rule to complete the single player before playing online.

I don't play games for a challenge.. i play them to have fun...

so easy usually... although if i really like a game i will play through it on the other difficulties.. its not that i suck is the reason i play on easy... if i'm not having fun i really don't see the point of playing it...
