Yeah, I usually don't care about giving AIs unfair advantages. If my own AI is good enough to not need help, so should the game's AIs be. No AI discrimination here.
Very Easy - "Like a smooth, gentle breeze"
Easy - "Like a pleasant, warm draft"
Medium - "Like a stiff gust of wind"
Hard - "Like a strong, fierce gale"
Very Hard - "It's a bloody tornado"

everything is wrapped in gray
i'm focusing on your image
can you hear me in the void?
Depends on my mood. I usually play on normal, but there are a few games I'll bump up to the hardest difficulty just for fun. I think the Halo series and TFUII are the only games I've ever finished on the most difficult levels though.
Straight down the middle - normal difficulty.
Unless it's a genre that I'm not familiar with or a game I've heard is notoriously hard.
...or I want to impress somebody with my gaming skills. I'll just distract them with Pringles while I'm at the difficulty select screen.
Typically normal/medium as it was intended
All future playthroughs are on hard unless the difficulty balancing is completely ridiculous (looking at you kh1)
If ive played a game for years ill do max difficulty with handicaps
Ratchet and clank 3 is a good example
I limit my weapon choice, restrict armor, etc. makes it more fun for me
Also, i dont believe a game that keeps kicking the crap out of you is a ba thing
Look at games like dark souls or limbo, death is a learning tool. Those games teach that death isnt necessarily failure, though ill admit games like that are in the minority

....still applies
If you've been cursed to live the same day over and over again
Eyyyyyyyyyyyyy
In most games I'll go for medium/normal before cranking it up the hardest.
Normal to hard. Depends on the game and what I've heard.
True beauty exists in things that last only for a moment.
Current Mood: And it's been a long December and there's reason to believe. Maybe this year will be better than the last. I can't remember all the times I tried to tell myself. To hold on to these moments as they pass...
Default/Normal/Medium, depending on how they want to word it. If I enjoy the game enough, I play it again on harder difficulties. It helps with replay value, that's for sure!
Oh, and on Civ IV, I never crank up the difficulty. Because I'm a complete and utter wuss and get decimated when I try to make the game harder. xD
Bow before the mighty Javoo!
If it's a game that I am not familiar with: easy
Games that I know the controls fairly well: medium
4444444444 4 4 444 44 4
Psh. Deathclaws drop in no time to the Gobi Scout Rifle.
I usually just play on the default setting. Once I've completed it, I may crank up the difficulty for fun. If I don't have much time and just want to blast through a game for the story, I'll play on the easiest setting.
If I'm new to a game series I will go for easy as basically a practice run. Where as series I'm fairly decent at I will go for the hardest possible difficulty. Such as when the latest dmc was released I went straight for nephililem aka hard. But games like soul calibur that I love but am very horrible at (due to horrible joints in my fingers) I'm forced to go easy
Normal to hard. Occasionally I'll try a game of Touhou on lunatic. I'll get to maybe stage 4 now so I'm getting better.![]()
