Topic: What difficulty will you play in?

Usually stick with the recommended difficulty for the first playthrough of most games these days. Although I jumped onto ultra violent with Doom Eternal, as that's what I always played it on back in the day with psone Doom.

I do often pause on choosing difficulty, trying to figure out what will be the most fun for the game in question. So it's a relief to me when games like Bloodborne or Dark Souls don't give me that decision to make.

Usually Normal or Easy. Unless I'm going for trophies I rarely play games on Hard or above.

I almost always play on normal difficulty the first time through, unless people have noted that its too hard or too easy. On this console generation, I've found repeatedly that I'm forced sometimes to switch to easy to defeat bosses. That wasn't really ever the case before.

When I was younger, I would sometimes go back through and try hard for a second playthrough, but its been a long time.

Usually normal or whatever the equivalent is but sometimes I knock it down to easy.
