Hard. Would rather find the game too difficult than too easy.

It can depend very much on the game... take Crysis for instance... going from Easy to Delta difficulty is like playing a completely different game...
(delta ftw)

But usually I take normal or even easy if normal is a bitch (see Bad Company 2)... I play singleplayer for the story,, not the challenge, that's what MP is for (tbh I hate beeing challenged, makes me feel like i suck xD)

Oh yeah, Crysis is an exception. I've never played it in anything except Delta difficulty.

There were the random sections (mostly where you are riding shotgun in vehicles) where the enemy would rape you from 1km away without you having a chance to fight back before you're dead even on easy)

God, I cried at the truck scene. I had to do it 32 times (I´m not kidding) until luck and me remembering the sequence let me get past the second wave of Vodniks.

I think they balanced that eraly on though, I was playing the pirate version in SP until my copy arrived, so no updates.

I often pick the hardest setting or one below, easy to just find stuff in the game.

Fear had a huge change from normal to hard, brother played on normal and he didn't lose armor that much in the game, For me on hard though 2-3 shots and I was down in 10 health. It was ridiculous how fast they ripped it away.

Also went hard on Batman Arkahm Asylum, and boy was it hard in the start.

Normal. Easy is too easy for me and hard is just.... well hard.

Depends. I start with hard and if that feels too difficult I start over with easier settings.

In CIV IV (+stuff) I always pick deity. Yeah... AI in CIV IV never cheats. Never in that game. Never.

If it's a PC game, easy until I get the hang of the controls. If it's a console game, normal or hard.
