Title: Difficulty modes
Post by: Samus Aran on October 03, 2011, 04:27:01 AM
On games with different difficulty levels, do you ever puss out and start with easy mode? Do you ever go back and try hard mode after you've beaten normal? Or even harder difficulties?

There are a couple shmups I can only beat on easy.  :(

And if i find it to be worthwhile I will very often come back to a game and play it on a harder difficulty.  giggle;

Always normal unless it's something extremely difficult like ninja garden. I've only ever gone back to do hard in amazing games like uncharted or mass effect 2... But I always lose interest

When I played Touhou before (only went through Phantasmagoria of Flower View as Reimu), I think I chose easy mode. Or maybe it was normal, I don't remember befuddlement

I only choose easy for game genres I'm not good at, like shooters. I almost always go with normal.

It really depends on the game. Most shooters I go for the hardest difficulty from the start, something like Dead Nation however I start on the easiest cause it is fucking insane on the higher difficulties.

Hard is scary, normal is intimidating, easy is embarrassing.

I usually started on hard and switched to normal or easy if it was too hard. most games (old games excepted) are pretty damn easy on easy.
