Games you admit playing on easy.

[Romblen]

The first Dawn of War game. It really was my introduction to RTS gaming. It really showed as I, for a lack of better terms, really sucked at it.

There's probably others, but that's all I can think of right now.

Dragon Age: Origins.

Because I just want to feel like a badass. I just want to cruise through the game sometimes, get to the good stuff.

Bioshock 2, started on normal literally 5 minutes in swapped to easy, too much of a change though normal was too hard and easy was way to easy.

 

[Spydercake]

I play every game on easy the first time, so i can catch everything story wise, then the second playthroughs get put on the hardest difficulty i can handle.

 

[Pyramid Head]

Usually i start on normal or hard depending on the genre, but i will occasionally play on easy when i'm just in it for a quick but of fun. Honestly though, most games to me don't really qualify as "Hard." Mass Effect 2 and BioShock for example can have their difficulty curves broken with the right combos. Quick thumbs and a working frontal lobe break all games with regenerating health and no factor of luck.

Fire emblem. Guitar Hero, I prefer Easy. But if i feel i know how to play the game i chose medium.

 

[electric_warrior]

Oblivion, but only when I was absolutely stumped. Like if I had no potions left and a whole load of very tough bad guys to kill more than one at a time. I'd give it a couple of goes, but if it wasn't happening, I'd put it on easy.

Half Life 2 and the Bioshock games.Don't really like the gameplay in either, but the story and visuals are worth playing for.

 

[Alcamonic]

I'm ashamed to admit it.
Bit I played a few hours of Dragon Age: Origin on Easy. A friend of mine said it would be more fun than my previous attempt on Hard.

It wasn't, I still ended it after a few hours.

 

[AetherWolf]

Persona... just... Persona. And even then it's still hard as fuck.

 

[kaveradeo]

I try to not play on easy.

 

[TheKruzdawg]

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.

I felt the exact same way. They kept dying and there were quite a few sections that I had to repeat more times than I felt necessary so I turned the difficulty down. Made the game more enjoyable and eliminated any frustration that I had.

I usually don't put many other games on easy, although I did the exact same thing during Dragon Age 2.

 

[drisky]

Dragon Age Origins, Its hard and if you don't build your characters perfectly your fucked. I'm not ashamed of it, I just had to make an adjustment to enjoy it.

 

[SwiggleDyl]

I'm usually on Normal first time then flick it up and go back through but Bayonetta thrashed me so hard that I had no choice

 

[dudeman0001]

None!

Bask in my infinite superiority, mortals!!!

[sub]Actually, I distinctly remember turning the difficulty down in both Fallout 3 and Oblivion at various points...[/sub]

I see you're getting into character with your avatar, very nice.

OT: Wow, there's alot of pansies in this thread I always play the default difficulty in my playthroughs even in IWBTG. I considered lowering the difficulty, but then I saw that that pink bow mocking me and I was like fuck that. However I did play street fighter alpha 3 on the easiest difficulty...and was still never able to beat it...
(I was like 7 and the game had no command list, leave me alone!)

 

[buffalodriver87]

Every game always,
because i hate grinding my way on hard only to find out that the game sucks or the story is retarded. Or i get so stuck and frustrated that i don't even want to finish the game.. well done uncharted 2 and your stupid god tank....

 

[CyprisVeil]

Pretty much every game that allows for it, I pefer easy games most of the time, focus more on the story and/or gameplay elements

So true! That's exactly what I do, though nowadays I'll spring for normal-mode if it asks for it. I mean...yeah.

 

[maninahat]

Easy was the default mode back when I was young. I enjoyed a game not for the challenge but hte empowerment, which was the reason why I often used buckets of cheats as well.

 

[Tiger Sora]

Every new game I get unless it's a sequel I play on easy. If it's way to easy I'll up the dificulty, but it's just to get the hang of the game.

 

[Xman490]

Black Ops, because instant deaths are enough to break my balls without people shooting me in the head.
Minecraft, because lava deaths are enough to break my balls without creepers blasting me in the head.
