Am I the only one who like to play games with the easiest difficulty?

[Talmort]

I don t like to loose 

Lmao

 

I m Bad at video games, even if i like them

[love]

yeah, i’m guilty of this a lot.  and uhhh lowkey me only playing mario kart on time trial mode bc the racing part makes me frustrated sjdklsls

this is why i’m terrible at games  guess i'll stick to the sims 

[eli]

i guess u could say using motherlode 6 times per family counts as playing games on easiest difficulty so yes

[HarukaNanase]

I like hard mode unless it only means making enemies sponges.

For example, in The Last of Us it highly enhances the surviving experience compared to normal.

I like a challenge so I usually go for one of the harder difficulties, but sometimes I regret it when I spend hours trying to get past a boss or difficult area.

 

Some of them I just ended up giving up

Agree, if there's no degree of skill involved and it's only more time to kill I don't get the point of higher difficulties. I wouldn't play Skyrim on the highest difficulty but I can see why people do it with DOOM or Dark Souls.

[lighterxx]

Im like that too, i hate it when some games have a set easiness of Hard, i play games for story and setting, not to challenge myself constantly

[rozysebelas]

it depends  on the game for fps singleplayer i play on hardest difficulties possible unless it makes the enemy sponges and COD coz  of never ending grenade.

for RPG i play on 2nd hard difficulty coz if i play i with easy i'll literally never open inventory and just take better weapon everytime i encounter them neve bother about potions , skilltree, enchantment, . but if i play with the hardest difficulty i found myself keeps pausing for potions, weapon change, too oftens that it broke the immersion.

for racing games it doesn;t really matter coz almost all of them have Rubber Band AI that they catch up no matter how far behind they are. it just a matter if u fucked up (crashed, spin) or not.

Playing on the easiest setting sucks some of the fun out of games for me. I usually play on normal mode. Unless it's a Kingdom Hearts game, I always play on the hardest difficulty for those.

I was going to comment how I tried completing COD on the hardest difficulty only to never get past a level as I always ended up dying to someone creeping up from behind or a grenade landing close by

Not at all!

I'm big into games- especially retro games- and I always find myself asking this whenever I talk with other fans because they always seem to be bragging about how they only ever play games on hard mode or whatever (furthermore, retro games are notorious for being difficult)

I think the fans that play easier difficulties just don't talk about it as much because of the gaming culture, ya know

I've loved videogames for as long as I've been physically capable of playing them, and I still default to the easiest mode whenever I can, because that's what I'd rather play

I have less fun when I'm getting my ass kicked. I'm here to have fun, not look cool, you know? lol

[Mccuish]

I all depends on the game for me since I hate losing. I hate the soulsborne games, but I actually had some fun with Sekiro even though I kept dying. I also have a bad habit of almost immediately uninstalling a game when it gets hard and I just get fed up with dying contently 

[frozentear]

You're not the only one who does that. For me personally, I play my games on normal/hard. I like challenge.

[Tae.]

I think easy mode takes the "flavor" from games. I usually play it at normal as that is the experience the developers wanted to create. Only go for hard mode on rpgs and jrpgs as those are the genres I have played the most so I want an extra challenge

[RiseLikeACrowTit]

Listen mami, im playing Planetbase at the easiest way and all my colonies die in mars, i dunno what nasa degree would take to play it even normal

[Maphisto40]

I only go easy mode for games where all I care about is enjoying the story line. For skill-based games like Dark Souls or whatnot, the whole point is the challenge, and that's what makes them fun for me.

[Sofs]

I only play with the easiest option. And even then, sometimes I lose I def wasn’t born to play game. 

[eunheart]

You know I'm actually worse than that. I (would put on easiest difficulty if there is any but then, I) went to edit mode with tons of motherlode for all over Sims and never ever back out again. I don't even know what was I playing smh

[SiIverFox]

Guilty too 

[pomegranate.]

i do this too can't do anything about being shit at gaming 

[Lexi.K]

I always choose the middle difficulty, because while I want a challenge I don't want to just die over and over lol.

[doki-doki]

I'm usually a middle/hard difficulty person on serious games but I also adore casual nintendo games (especially animal crossing and mario/yoshi games) stardew valley, sims, harvest moon etc. Sometimes I'd rather just play to relax and unwind rather than play purely competitively. 

[Siobhan Halo]

It depends on the game. For Subnautica I turned off the survival aspect, I want to craft and build and explore and enjoy the story without needing to drink water every 5 minutes! But for, say, Sniper Elite I'll turn it up and adjust for range/bullet drop, wind, etc to make it a hard challenge.

i have that habit too but with online games . i unistall CSGO once coz i drop from rank from DMG after only losing 1 game . and PUBG coz i can't see sh*t when playing this game , MF shot me from a mile away proning on the grass. 

[Regality]

• I like the feeling of beating a game on the highest difficulty. If i was just in it for the story tho i wouldn't mind easy mode.
