Poll: Difficulties in gaming (Which one suits you?)

Easy the first time, because I want to see the story and have fun.

Sometimes I'll go back through on hard, though.

I go straight to the hardest difficulty and learn fast so that I can start ripping people apart in the multiplayer, but as for games with no multiplayer I go to the hardest anyways so that it's fun and challenging and everything you get in the game is well earned.

I used to play on easy all the time when I first started gaming as a wee young lad, but now I almost always play on the hardest or second hardest difficulty. If the game has three difficulty settings, I'll play on the hardest. If it has more I'll start on the second hardest then move up. The only games I'm afraid to try the hardest difficulty on are Mass Effect 1 and 2.

Really? On my second playthrough for 2 characters on Mass Effect 2 I dove right into the hardest difficulty. Infiltrator and Adept, which was surprisingly pretty easy for them. Infiltrator, just grab the widowmaker anti material rifle and got for headshots. Adept just spams and ducks. I found it fun more than anything else

I play mainly as a vanguard, so combat isn't usually as simple as popping heads from across the map. I was thinking that if I ever do try to beat it on insanity I would do it as my soldier character. The main problem for me is patience.

Yea for vanguard and sentinel its alot harder on insanity. Then again, when its harder, you get more of a sense of achievement when you make it. Mind you though even as an infiltrator sometimes you do run out of ammo as the snipers have relatively low capacity. I would say the Adept is the easiest to play. I have yet to try the soldier haha (maybe one of the most popular classes?)

I dislike playing ME2 on anything harder than Veteran; I really don't like the new mechanic where any kind of protection stops all powers from affecting enemies!

i normally go on normal mode so the story fits(say if the protagonist is meant to struggle but you can easily kill everyone in the room, it doesn't fit) but after i complete i put it on insane or the hardest mode there is to challenge, myself
