like call of duty 4 im doing it on vet. So i can grab achievements as well as enjoy the game longer. That is to say the single player camp. For halo 3 I played and beat it on normal my first play through then did legendary co-op with some guys at work.

Try telling that to a 14 year old kid...Gamerscore is all he's got going for him.

i would never play a game on easy but i also never start a game on the hard level. When i play a game i want to see the story line as much as i do the action. If i liked it on normal i will always go back and play it on hard, ALWAYS!

that being said i would rip anyone i call a gamer and/or a friend if they played all their games on easy!

~~LET IT BE HEARD~~

causal gaming is crap but there are some good causal games!

GH3 just happens to be one that can also pump it up so we hardcore gamers dont feel cheated!

Well I mostly play an easy-normal setting to beat the game faster so I can go onto another game, and go back to a harder mode if it's worth playing again.

A 6 hour long game which is played on a more difficult level will take longer time to finish, but at the sometime one can become frustrated

I like the challenge.

“Because if you play on easy, you’re not even playing the game.” And that's the reason I cannot play any game on an easy difficulty setting. I poke fun at my girl when she plays on easy, because she's a regular gamer n' has played more PS2 titles than even I have. She knows however that I'm just a teasin'.

I remember when I first picked up Halo, me having all the experience that I had thinking nothing of putting the game on Legendary and getting my a55 demolished time after time after time again n' again. And even thinking it impossible to beat on such a setting. Suffice it to say, eventually I got the hang of it n' have conquered it 4x's over on Legendary, it isn't a challenge anymore. But when I go into matchmaking n' see something below Heroic for their campaign, I can't point n' laugh, nobody should.

Time management does play a key factor however in my game difficulty settings, if I own the game I'm going to make the most of it n' play it on the highest difficulty. However, if I'm renting that game n' need to beat it in a week while juggling school n' family then a Normal difficulty setting will do just fine.

It's all pretty simple really, experienced gamers look for more of a challenge while new gamers n' casual alike are looking for fun n' trying to get the hang of things, n' we should respect that. Because it's all in the sake of FUN.

This is all bullsh!t from people who correlate their gaming skill to their ball size.

I've beaten Halo 3 on legendary and surprisingly I don't feel like more of man for it.

A good game should be enjoyable on any difficulty.

MEh I play basically all my games on a hard level cuz...well it does extend your gaming time and its where the game can actually push the limits.. sry but like they said playn on easy or normal in most games is like childs play...I want to be challeneged by a game and not run straight thru it. I also hate to hear the kids give reviews or comments about a game sayn its easy and stuff or not challenging when they dont even play on a hard enough level to make it fun. Basically its all up to the type of gamer you are....when I get to play my games I will play balls to the wall all the time its just my nature I face challenges head on...some people rather lay back and relax and play games...this is what seperates competitive gamers from the everyday gamer thats all. You shouldnt have to worry about people disn ya about games because if they do they jus have a sad life thats all.. Only kids I diss about playn low levels are the kids who act like pros and then play games on the easier modes but yet willl talk crap like its falln out there mouth
