Wipeout HD, I was never a master of racing games though I was good at driving in GTA which meant I sucked at expert difficulty on Wipeout HD. Then I switched to easy, and have accepted that I will never platinum it.
Games you admit playing on easy.

There've been a few times where I've turned difficulty down for a spell because one part was aggravating, then turned it back up after. Games I thoroughly enjoy and/or am good at I'll either play hard, or normal 1st and hard 2nd playthru. If a game offers new game+ in particular, I'll probably go on hard.
Mass Effect 2 is a little annoying in this regard. I play Vanguard (have tried infiltrator and would like to try adept sometime) but the difficulty settings have a direct consequence on gameplay. After Vet difficulty (ie. Hardcore, Insanity) the enemies all have additional shields and armour. Having any form of protection in ME2 completely nullifies biotic abilities (except warp AFAIK). So biotic charge, pull, singularity or whatever have little effect, rendering the vanguard/adept almost useless (at least until the silly teammate AI strips shields/armour off for you). Great game, but how BioWare missed that feature and/or thought it would be fine in the final game is truly beyond me. So yeah, just Vet on ME2 then.
Managed DS2 on Nightmare, whew, won't do that again! Currently (re)playing Resident Evil 5 on professional difficulty with maxed out, infinite ammo L. Hawk, M3 and Dragunov...so does that count as hard or easy? :-D

Why thank you, though it wasn't intended. Being compared to her can only be a good thing, right? [sub] ...Right!?[/sub]dudeman0001 said:

... I can't really say the same about you. (Thankfully)
OT: Another moment of weakness: My second attempt at Dragon Age: Origins was on easy difficulty. I'd gotten sick of disintegrating into a fine paste every time I so much as whiffed an enemy mage, so I thought it might be more fun if I could actually make some progress in the game. Unfortunately that made it way too easy, so I ended up switching back to normal and forgetting all my cool character levelling ideas in favour of Tank-Tank-Mage-Mage (What fun -.-).
I tend to not play any game under "Normal" difficulty, save for Left 4 Dead when I want to goof around. I'm confident enough in my abilities as a video game participant to accept a challenge when it comes to me. Most of the time, this seems to serve me well.
[small]Marvel vs Capcom 3 really tests my patience when it comes to this, however.[/small]

I try not to drop anything to easy, but I am currently playing Jagged Alliance 2 on easy. It's actually a little too easy now that I've sort of figured things out. I also ended up dropping Bioshock to easy because I realized I don't like creepy games and I was sick of being afraid of the screaming, respawning lunatics all over the place. Or maybe I just didn't like Bioshock that much except for the story. Probably some of both.
Ever since I finished God of War 3 on Titan (Hard), and really enjoyed the challenge, I've been trying to force myself to play at at least normal.

Duke Nukem 3D past the first episode, I got annihilated on anything above Piece of Cake. I could finish LA Meltdown on Let's Rock though.
Also, The first and third Devil May Cry games. I can finish DMC3 with carried-over upgrades on Normal. I can't even reach the second fight with Phantom on DMC1 on normal.

By getting frustrated by the fact that no, 200 hammer-blows/bullets to the face is not enough to kill someone.NLS said:
(Admittedly it took even more for them to kill me, but hey, I don't want every fight to just be 30 minutes of me and some bandit/raider slapping each other in the face 'till he randomly falls dead.)
You have no idea how many painful memories you've just woken up inside of me. I was playing that mission (and the whole game) on Veteran... the world was never the same.Richardplex said:
OT: All Ninja Gaiden games. Fuck it, they're hard.
Mass Effect 1 - I wanted to get it over with so I had choices ready for ME2.
Rock Band - Sometimes a guy just wants to drum along to rock music...
Fallout New Vegas - I had limited time (24 hours) with the game while my cousin (who owned it) was out of town and I wanted to get as far as possible. I got one achievement in those 24 hours. Never again.

I can only think of 2 games that I've ever played on easy that is Bioshock (only because I just wanted to steamroll my way through the game) and Street Fighter 4 on Easiest only to unlock some of the characters and get my head around that game. Otherwise I try to play every game at the default difficulty since I assume that's what the designers intend for us to play at.
Metro 2033 for the love of god that game was difficult never have I actually got down on my knees and prayed for the game to give me more ammo .
Also excuse my French but Mother fucking bullet sponge librarians that are just plain scary ... That is all

Resident Evil 5 comes to mind quickly. It's the only RE I've played and I found the shooting system very tricky at first. I had to set it to easy just so I could learn how the game worked without getting killed.
Usually most first person shooters, online FPS's are what I'm best at, but I absolutely hate single player...
Ninja Gaiden and Ninja Gaiden 2. Not ashamed of it. Still can't beat either on hard. And normal was a *****.
God of War. No matter how hard I try, I could never beat Ares on normal mode. The whole health "tug of war" pissed me off.
I died so much the game asked if I wanted a step lower in difficulty...
I chose 'yes' and beat Ares on easy mode.
