Games you admit playing on easy.

[RobinHood3000]

Halo 3. You want an unrealistic shooter where you can run right up and punch the aliens in the face until they die of face punch? Play on easy. That's where the fun is.

Now I've got to try that. If only it worked on multiplayer.

Bioshock, because I wasn't used to PC FPS, and I have a low "creepy" tolerance. I look back on some of the scary bits on YouTube from time to time and think to myself, "How did I not wet myself when I played this??"

 

[hamasins]

i play all my games on easy and hard. hard if i want a challenge easy if i just want mindless fun :3

 

[Romidude]

Played both Metro and STALKER CoP on the hardest difficulty :l

Anyways, Bethesda RPGs are games where I choose anything lower than medium difficulty. And I don't even know why.

Make sure you stay away from the System Shock games then!

Oblivion and Fallout. I don't know about all of you, but I don't play those for the challenge. It's the freedom of choice I like.

Since when do they have easy modes?

OT: When I was a child, I played as a child. And as I grew older, I became bolder, and now Normal is how I always go.

 

[Cpt Corallis]

Men of War. If you say that you play on a higher difficulty, well, YOU SIR ARE A LIAR!

 

[Oracle144]

Starcraft II, towards the end. I just wanted to finish the story, so I put it on easy and cruised through it.

And Dragon Age (still not finished though). I love the story and the world and stuff, but I'm not a huge fan of the gameplay yet. Maybe I just need to get further in to enjoy it.

 

[GundamSentinel]

Most hack 'n' slash games. I like 'em, but I'm just not good at those things. So, games like:

God of War (all of them)
Bayonetta
Devil May Cry 4
Ninja Gaiden Sigma

Pretty much every other game I play on normal, but I just don't have the patience for combos and timed counters.

 

[Lord Beautiful]

The only time I've gone to Easy was with Silent Hill 3, which was my first real journey into survival horror. First, I played on Normal until I reached the first boss, but I lacked the necessary bullets to kill it. I realized I was not hardcore enough to play this game on Normal. My pride was hurt a bit.

I think I may have set the puzzle difficulty to Easy as well. I don't recall.

Either way, Hard mode for either the game or its puzzles is out of the question. Especially the puzzles. I've read up on their Hard counterparts. That's a level of stupidly high difficulty that Ninja Gaiden doesn't quite reach.

 

[Crissaegrim]

Dragon Age: Origins. I just...had to. I would've played it on Normal if the friendly AI wouldn't be so thick. Yes guys, those jets of flame in your face do indeed come from that pressure plate your standing on. Yes get away from them. No don't walk over them again dammit!! Death ensues.

Other than that, I might put an RTS on Easy. I played Need for Speed: Shift on Easy for quite a while too. I love racing games, I love the adrenaline they give, especially Shift is epic. But no other genre can raise my blood pressure that much if it goes wrong.

Other than that, Normal or even Hard all the way. I barely play any FPS singleplayer campaign below Hard nowadays.

^ Pretty much the only game I'v ever just gone *nope* and set to easiest difficulty. A friend told me all I had to do was switch from teammate to teammate during the fights...but forget having to carry the games own AI in protecting my ass. Did love the game though.

Oh and one of my oblivion playthroughs I set to an easy difficulty and used all the glitches i could...but that was more for the lulz.

 

[AlternatePFG]

Only one where I went down to easy was Metro 2033. Don't regret it either, that game is ridiculously hard sometimes.

 

[striderkiwi]

I almost always do my first playthrough of a game on easy.

 

[Stall]

I can't recall any. Even when I was little, I still played games on normal/medium. The closest I can think of is having to turn GoW2 and GoW3 down to easy in the latter parts of the game, mainly because of the fucking satyrs. Man, fuck those guys... worst enemies in the entire series; they somehow made them more insufferable in 3 as well.

 

[Mythril225]

I never play on easy. If i can't beat a game on normal difficulty, then it's faulty by design.
Except minecraft. I just like to build, don't care about all them creepers or zombies.

 

[Gennadios]

Dragon Age 2. The combat was so goddamn repetitive and thoroughly unenjoyable after about hour 20 that I just wanted to get to the efing ending.

It helped, but I wish I never beat the game. Ending dragged the experience from mediocrity to sloppy mess.

 

[Mr. Google]

Half-Life 2. and Ninja Gaiden. So what Ninja Gaiden is impossible! and Half-Life i was only playing for the story because I felt so douchey laughing at jokes from a game I had never played.

 

[Guillaume-Antoine Dumont]

The entire frikkin' Touhou series..

 

[kyogen]

I almost always do my first playthrough of a game on easy.

I do that with most rpgs. I give myself an easy game so I can concentrate on the story and then go back through for more challenging combat. That doesn't work with Demon's Souls, obviously.

 

[Cowabungaa]

A friend told me all I had to do was switch from teammate to teammate during the fights...but forget having to carry the games own AI in protecting my ass.

Hah, yeah, I tried that too, but the second I switched to another character, the character I was just controlling does the damned thing I tried to prevent it from doing, or something entirely new that was just as retarded.

That's why I spiced it up by switching my team around all the time, picking all kinds of class-combinations to kill stuff as efficiently or awesomely as possible.

The ending was rather 'wtf?' though, that's true.

Baldur's Gate 2


Less time spent resting, more time focusing on the story.
