also really annoying...

games are only fun on the second hardest difficulty level...

I play on easy mode and still cheat

i agree with this.

Back in my day we didn't have difficulty levels.

i played dead space on easy and still used the stasis cheat

Nightmare difficulty on Doom is not fun.

Games are most fun on normal difficulty

Games are most challenging on the hardest difficulty

Games are most casual on easy difficulty

Games are only fun on a difficulty level appropriate to the players skill level

I like to read the walkthrough before I play so I know what to expect. I have trying to figure stuff out on the fly.

YES YES IT IS

I completely agree. I'll only play a game on the hardest setting it offers me.

>>24915284
NO NO IT ISNT

Contra: Hard on Easy, Fuck Hard on Medium, OH MY GOD WHAT THE HELL on Hard

Fucking "hardcore" gamers. Normal is where it's at.

most games are just frustrating on hard

if there's 4 difficulty levels I like the one below the highest. if there's only 3 I pick normal.

if i don't play a game on harder difficulty settings i feel like i'm not playing the real game

I don't even want to imagine God Hand on the hardest difficulty.

games that have difficulty levels are generally speaking not fun.

lol no.

Games are fun if you're having fun, be it on easy, normal, or hard. I get enjoyment from all 3.

Usually more enjoyment from normal than hard though, because usually hard is just "hurr more life for enemies and they do higher damage, there's no more actual difficulty in the gameplay but to gamers frustrating = hardcore"

Agreed ... also If you can go hard why do it easy?
Of course you can just fuck everything up and then LOLOLOL I PWND THE MAP ,but seriously aint a challengee more fun, (saying challenge not a FUCK NO HARD tl;dr nightmare doom, expert l4d bots only, starcraft vs korean )

Also just played half-life 2 and used impulse 101 on the start SHIT WAS SO FUN (only way cheating is fun ,when you aint supposed to have any weapons and then BAM PULSE RIFLE)

It's not that bad. It's just normal mode, but locked on the "DIE" setting. You if you get through it, you make mad cash.

The "Kick Me" sign challenge is fucking bullshit though. I don't hate myself THAT much to do it.

if you feel the need to be punished by a game to have any sort of fun, you're a pathetic nerd.

Normal forever.

Some people just want to enjoy the game. Adding more difficulty isn't good for everyone.

I usally play on Normal if I have the chance

Some people like to play through each difficulty level getting progressively harder.

Why the hell do you find enjoyment in torturing yourself? Do you know that frustration is generally an unpleasant emotion?

casual scrubs, enjoy your easy mode cancer to video games

I only agree with this statement on games like Rock Band or Guitar Hero

I actually prefer super hardest difficulty. OP is a casual scrub

I never play a game on the hardest difficulty unless it's Call of Duty or Halo (I'd do Ninja Gaiden too but the higher difficulties aren't available until you beat the lower difficulties).

Games like Rock Band/Guitar Hero I'll play on expert right away, though.

hard =\= fun
hard = frustrating
you = masochist

you scrub

Depends on the game, but I have to agree. I usually play the game trough on normal the first time and then play on the hardest difficulty. Playing on hard is way more rewarding and challenging most of the time, but there are exceptions too.

Only kids play easy mode

automatically go to the hardest setting. alot of games tend to put the better ending on the hard setting and I just rather get it right the first time. also if I feel like playing the normal setting later (for some achievement or alternate ending) it seems much easier then it should.

/r/equesting that image with the /v/irgins jumping off a cliff. You know which one.

I play through my games on the easiest setting, then the hardest setting and then the harder setting if it's unlocked. I'm very capable of beating the harder settings, I just enjoy going through the game naturally first, without being pressured

The required difficulty for fun is different for every game, and for every gamer.

To me, Left 4 dead is only fun on Expert, but some games, like STALKER, are absolute bullshit on everything higher then normal, and even on normal it's still pretty fucking bullshit.

I only use normal on rpg games, as difficulty is not really a major factor in those games.

the only games I do easy mode on are Silent Hill 1 and the first three resident evils

oh yeah, contra
