Are you a gamer that must play the game on the hardest difficulty?

[QUOTE="The_Game21x"]

Hell no.

I like to have fun playing games.

What about the people who have fun when its a challenge?

[QUOTE="jessejay420"][QUOTE="The_Game21x"]

I didn't say anything about "challenge", I just don't play on the hardest difficulty.

I usually go for one notch below the hardest because that's the best balance of challenge and fun. For example, Halo whatever is fun on Heroic but cheap as all hell on Legendary.

I've played many games on their hardest difficulty and I didn't find them fun.

[QUOTE="jessejay420"]tgeres much more fun to be had playing on tge hardest difficulty... it isnt much fun when nothing poses a threat and you can just mow down the enemies easily.. maybe you should try it on hard.you might like it.jessejay420

I've played many games on their hardest difficulty and I didn't find them fun.

Many games seem too easy in normal, so I'm using the hardest difficulty nowadays.

A great recent example is farcry 3, even on the hardest difficulty that game is still too easy.

I ask this because me and a couple buddys of mine was playin NBA 2k and it was brought up....now I play the game on normal....not too hard, but not too easy...who's good is good and who's bad is bad....even games outside of sports, i just play on normal unless I'm rewarded for it. People like to call me a "non true gamer" because I don't play the game on the most extreme difficulty. So how do you play?

I like to play on the hardest settings.

If it's too hard, I will lower it one notch (which hardly ever happens ever), but I'll be honest with you...games these past two-three generations are way easier than the games I had to deal with growing up.

Games today are f***ing ridiculously easy on the hardest settings (save for a handful of examples).

I play Starcraft II on the hardest settings against AI, FPS on the hardest, sports games, fighting games, music games, singing games...

Playing on hard just prep work for playing online and it makes you better at the game.

Just think of it as online training for you on NBA 2K, so when you go online you may stand a better chance at victory.

Sure there's something left to debate. What you just said is subjective. :?

Besides, I didn't say I play games on "easy". I said I don't play them on the hardest difficulty because I don't find them fun.

Yes, I always play on the hardest settings because anything else is far too simple for my superiority complex. As one of the greatest gamers, nay the greatest gamer, of all time it is often a problem to find games that are difficult enough. For example, Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition I completetated in a single attempt on my first run. In fact, half way through, I started playing blindfold with only two fingers of my left hand (even though I'm ambidextrous when it comes to gaming, obviously).

- When I play Rock Band, I play all 3 instruments and sing simultaneously. 100%, Expert, every-god-damn-time.

- I have the world Donkey Kong world record and I beat the game using only my erect penis They now call me Donkey Dong.

- When I play COD I don't use weapons of any sort. I lure people to their death with environmental falling damage and still win every match I play.

I'd give more examples but there's no need. I've already beaten YOU in any online game you've played and probably made you cry. You can call me Mr Awesome!

Just because something is better because of difficulty to you doesn't mean it's more fun than say playing on normal for others.

[QUOTE="jessejay420"][QUOTE="jg4xchamp"] Easy is always a lesser experience(for the most part) sure, but just making something hard isn't fun.

If it was Ninja Gaiden 2 would be hands down the single best thing to happen to hack n slash games ever. And in combat sure that game is wonderful. But it's difficulty isn't fair. It's just full on frustrating with how many different ways the game feels unbalanced against the player. If you're dumb lucking to victory it isnt' a successful conquest. It's more like "thank God that bullsh1t is over".

Fine. To you, challenge is fun. To others just playing the game, the story, and having fun comes from the gameplay and just....having fun! Doing stupid stuff and shooting $#!+ up.

Challenge =/= Fun to everyone

How is it that hard to grasp for you that others have a different playstyle than you?

[QUOTE="mems_1224"][QUOTE="Jankarcop"]

I rarely play games on the easy/normal difficulties. I play games for fun, not to be bored.

Jankarcop

People can find having a challenge fun, as opposed to pressing 1 button with eyes closed and winning.

No. I just play on Normal and will replay it on harder settings the next time I play for a challenge. But it depends on the game really and how good I am at it.

I mostly don't care about the difficulty at all, I guess thats just because i play games like GTA where there is no option for difficulty, Anyways i always play on the hardest difficulty and if i can't play it on that then i start a new game with the normal one, This also helps me make sure how much intelligent the game's AI is.

I play through games on normal. If the game is good, I'm gonna wanna replay it on the hardest difficulty. It can be MUCH more fun and satisying and force you to really play the game in a different way. For example, I used much more plasmids and weapons and strategies on Bioshock hardest, more powers and squad orders in Mass Effect, was much more stealthy in the likes of Crysis/Metal Gear, more gadgets in Batman, etc.

It depends on the game. Sometimes I go for the hardest difficulty and others I start on Normal or the second highest difficulty.

In Pokémon I usually choose the highest difficulty since the Pokémon you choose is basically the difficulty level but you need to know what Gym Leaders you would face and match type advantages like in Gen I Bulbasaur is Easy, Squirtle is Normal, and Charmander is Hard. Gen II Cyndaquil or Totodile is Easy and Chikorita is Hard difficulty.

just beat far cry 3 on normal guyz!!! whoohoo!! so much fun!! :roll:jessejay420

no challenge no fun! I mean, what would be the point? That's why I don't like Nintendo games anymore, because they all are stupidly easy and on top of it they don't even have decent narrative so I have nothing to look forward to. And this is why I love games like Uncharted and Yakuza because they provide the challenge and the narrative too. And yes, I said Uncharted because most of the haters think the game's easy on Crushing mode but is obvious that they haven't even played it to know that. They just want to hate on it because it's a GOTY quality PS3 exclusive game.

This. Just like any hobby (sports, music, etc.), the challenge is all the more rewarding. I understand that some games aren't built for difficulty (eg Mass effect).. but I remember a day that high scores really meant something... and that challenge and competetion was incremental to gaming.

I start out on normal, and may play on hard a second time over if I care enough. I play games for relaxation and escape from stress, not to feel like I'm competing with myself or the game.

just beat far cry 3 on normal guyz!!! whoohoo!! so much fun!! :roll:jessejay420

Normal is fine with me but when I play a game a second time around I play it on hard.

I find that easy usually presents enough of a challenge for me, because I suck at video games. I'm a slow reactor.Sali217

I don't see why not, although I'm fairly popular so I may not have room if you try. These services don't exactly notify me when I fill up. I usually find out from a poster/user telling me of the snafu.

I do go through once every few months and delete a couple of friends if they are super inactive for a long time, only to make space. I hate having to do that. My grandma was deleted last month from various accounts, so there may be space now (We had a fallout in a few L4D matches and that spread to Starcraft 2). So, you can try.:P

My Steam, Blizzard, XBL, Wii U, PSN, Wii, et cetera friend lists fill up fast.:cry: The consoles are even more limiting as 100 seems the magic number. :( I wish they would update the friends list caps allowing us to have more friends. I guess that's what multiple accounts are for... :(
