Just curious. Tell me what difficulty you played and what you thought of the game.

Easy, will replay on each difficulty. I was expecting an amazing experience and I got it.. i'll be playing through multiple times and this way it'll give me more of a challenge each time so it won't feel quite so repetitive.

Same here. I would've put it on survivor if it was available from the start.

Normal. As always with any games, first I'd like to see what the developers thought was "their way of playing the game"

Easy the 1st time, because I just wanted to enjoy the story. It's cool now playing it on hard where you really have to conserve ammo and use more stealth.

Normal. Would have put it on the hardest setting if I would have known I would get trophies for all settings underneath it and that I couldn't just jump into NG+ on the hardest setting...

Normal, though I kind of regret it since the AI wasn't that great, but now I'm starting over on the highest difficulty.

Hard, very deserving of its praise.

I still prefer Bioshock Infinite overall, but wouldn't have any qualms about TLOU winning all the GOTYs.

I picked normal. To be honest, I probably would have enjoyed the game more if I played on Hard,

I played it on hard in hopes that it would be difficult and bring out the survival nature of the game. I was disappointed, before even considering that the game gives you a small amount of ammo by cheating.

Normal. Should have played it on hard though cause I never felt like I was challenged by being low on items. Playing survival now and liking the increased difficulty.

I played it on normal during my first playthrough. The difficulty felt just right, but I'll probably put it on hard if I ever decide to replay it.

Yeah, if you play the game on Easy, it's basically a shooter. If you play it on Hard, it's survival horror -- you've gotta use a lot of stealth and sometimes you gotta just run. It's kind of cool how the game plays so differently.

I preferred Hard myself, because it gets pretty intense when you've gotta get through a room with half a dozen enemies and you've only got a few bullets, a baseball bat, and no health packs.
