Who else like to play on easy?

[RiseDarthVader]

I don't know about you guys but most of the time I prefer to play a game on easy because I don't want to get so pissed I wanna break something like the controller, game console or PC. I'll play Uncharted 2 on normal though when it comes out in Aus.

Always start a new game on the normal setting. Will go to easy if the first couple of levels a hard on that setting though. Threw my old Sega 16 bit out of the window once as I was so mad at Alex the wonder kid. That console smashed into a million pieces.

Moral of story is-never throw a console out of the window when you live on the tenth floor.

If I like the game I'll play on hard so I could prolonge the expierence. If I don't care about the game I'll play on normal or easy just so I could get through it.

Me. I like playing without loosing my timber
and if the transition to higher levels of difficulty is smooth and convincing i will surly go up. KZ2 was at its best on elite (sweeeeeeet)

I will usaully play it on normal. there aren't too many games out there that's really that difficult on normal level. The game has to be really fun for me to go back and play it the 2nd time around on hard. Uncharted is the exception to the rule. No matter how hard it was on crushing, I kept playing that game. The game was still fun no matter how hard and frustrating it was. On U2, I will be starting the game on Hard because I know that even if it is on hard, I'm still going to be sitting there playing it till I finish.

I start the game on Easy just so I can understand the controls and learn what I am supposed to do in the game, then onto Normal, then Hard.

[X400]

cousin plays on easy... he says games are meant to be fun and enjoyable not hard and stressfull


i play on the hardest setting available btw

[Cordre69]

Depends on the game. If it's an RPG and has a mode where you can carry over your stuff if you replay it, I start on Easy and then use the gear to make Normal/hard less-so. If I replay it at all, of course. Also, if there is a 'true' ending that requires you to beat it on a certain level, I'll do that.

[Moefiz]

I always start on the normal mode if the game is too hard(NGS)then I usually change it to easy.

[Icemage]

I think the only games I've played on Easy out of just sheer absurd difficulty in the last few years are Novastrike and Soldner-X due to a concession to just really poor game design.

None of the disc-based games are so difficult that they merit shifting down from Normal. Most games I try to play through on Hard/Expert where I can.

[pBLU-RAYs3]

I'll try to see how far I can go on a single life before failing. I never can finish a game without dying. Most games are designed where you have no choice but to repeat the course again and again. I play on easy on most games.

[Hedchekr]

If its a new game series I play on normal. For Uncharted 2 I started on hard. For Halo 3/ODST I started on legendary since I have played the series so much.

[Rovic]

Always normal setting for me, don't want to make it so difficult that i don't enjoy the game, but don't want to make it too easy either...

[jiggle sandwich]

I used to start all games on easy until I started getting ragged on by fellow gamers at work. Now I play on the normal difficulty. I will play on easy if I'm borrowing a game from someone and want to get through it quickly.

[Musashi]

Depends on the game. If a game is inherently hard, I may play it on an easier setting to reduce replaying of parts. Titles I'm skilled at I'll play on the harder modes.

If I like a game enough to play it alot, I'll shoot for mastering harder material. Like with Rock Band and DDR; I started playing them Easy/Basic, but over time I got better and can now handle Expert on most songs.

[maverick22]

gonna start on very easy --new to games

[jsteinhauer]

If you are one of those who sits down with a game and plays straight through to the end in one sitting without eating, sleeping or pi**ing, then you might as well play on hard to prolong the agony. But it often takes me weeks, if not months to get through a game on the normal difficulty. If I played them more difficult, I'd never get to finish. Besides, I get bored, if I have to play the same sequence through too many times in a row.

I also like to believe "normal" is the setting the game designers had in mind for the ideal experience balancing the fun and challenge.

[Uniquely]

If the game has multiplayer.... I play through the campaign part on easy, just to see the story line and get used to the controls for multiplayer. I rarely ever get a campaign only game, but I usually start those on normal.

[SillyMammo]

Sometimes I'll play a game on easy if I'm renting it and I have a deadline to get it back. I love gaming, but I'm more into getting the experience of the game and don't get a huge amount of satisfaction in winning the game on ultra-difficult.
