Author Topic: What Difficulty Do You Play Your Video Games On Average Without Cheats  (Read 3078 times)

When I was younger I used to beat most games on cheats, most notably Invincibility until I got so used to the game and where all the patterns and enemies were aliened than I started to not use cheats as often now I don't like to use any cheats

Now For me I play without cheats and it's mostly the lowest level or second lowest difficulty , although when fall in love with a game and get bored on an easier level or the game becomes too easy I turn up the difficulty, I've heard gaming stories of retro video game having different endings on different difficulty.

So do you jump right into a harder difficulty or do you take things one step at a time?

I found that cheating spoils part of the fun on some games, but cheats can sometimes give you more freedom in your games

I always play my games on Normal difficulty when I first play them. If I'm bored to tears I'll often increase the difficulty or if I'm about to rage quit I'll turn it down.

Normal

Depends; usually normal or hard. I tend to look up reviews of the difficulty if I'm unsure where I want to start. Also depends on the game type. I feel a lot of modern JRPGs are too easy. However, older games run harder. I try to make an educated guess and adjust from there.

I have a huge problem concerning this matter...
I always play a game, even when its for the first time, in the highest difficulty available.
There must be some psychological explanation for it as even I can't understand why I feel obliged to do it with every game, but because of that, I tend to take much longer than most people do in order to finish a game... Haha

Easy or normal, depending on game type & how much time I want to devote to the title. It's simply a matter of wanting to experience a game fully before I move on.

If I really fall for the game, I'll do a second run on a harder difficulty.

I tend to play the highest difficulty available from the start in most games. I like the challenge and typically you get something for it/prepares you for the next difficulty you unlock.

Easy. I don't like to be stuck in a game and I usually play up to 4-5 games at the same time so I don't have the time to get angry lol. Only exception is sports games.

Same as some others here, always start on normal, then if the game is too easy I up the difficulty.

Last game I had to do this was Ni No Kuni 2, normal was just too easy, but once switched to hard, the game became a proper jrpg.

I'll do the middle/normal difficulty my first playthrough, and then on my second I'll do one harder. If I'm feeling nuts I'll do what I did on DMC1 and do that game's equivalent of "Dante Must Die!"

Normal

I usually play on normal, but if it's a series or game that I know well, I'll up the difficulty. I usually play first person shooters on a harder difficulty though

On normal like most folks here. Generally if its a Falcom game I'll always go back through on Nightmare for the the platinum. Also, Insane mode on the Gears of War games.

I almost always play on the recommended difficulty because there is no real point in my mind to play a harder difficulty. I know some games do it for trophies or for better items, etc. which is kind of annoying because I don't like to play through games multiple times in a short amount of time. It's just tedious more than anything.

The only exception for me are Zelda games. It might take a fews months to a year but I usually like to play through the hero modes.
