I did beat CIV V in deity difficulty only a couple times. I proved to myself I could do it. Now? Now I always play at "prince" difficulty, sometimes even lower. I just want to see my civilization utterly and totally crush others. I want to see them worship my god of silent farts. I want them to try to defend against tanks with spearmen. I don't want to think 5 minutes for every turn.

First playthrough on normal for story, if I want a replay I'll crank it up each time

I don't play on easy, I play on story mode. Ain't got time to think or stress. Just enjoy :')

My religion doesn't allow me to play anything below normal, and it's that way since I became a man.. (16years ago)

I go to normal every time unless im coming back and want to see what I can do then go harder.

Depends on what I want from the game

I'll happily admit i play on east and cheat the shit out of my games, because I wanna enjoy the story to most games. If I enjoy it, I'll replay it on a harder setting knowing what I'm in for and ehat I can/should do.

Personally, most of the times I want the amount of challenge that makes game not dull but not that much that you have to sweat over it.

Some people better should play on lower difficulties. One of the most anoying thing in coop-pve-games are literally noobs that join players on higher difficulty. They are not leveled up at all, they don't know how the game mechanics work, they die all the time, ... but they need to play on higher difficulties...

I Always raise the difficulty unless it's just HP/Damage scaling, in that case it has no point. The best thing i found was in Middle Earth Shadow Of War, there is a special difficulty called "brutal" that increases damage taken but for everyone including the ennemies, best way to play imo

The only time I can remember playing a game on easy instead of at least normal was Dragon Age 1. I was about 2/3rds through it and Dragon Age 2 had just come out and was sitting all sealed and pretty next to my xbox. I switched the easy mode to get it done quick and was punished with 30 Seconds to Mars playing during the credits.

depends, I want to challenge myself? hardest difficulty I just want to relax after a long stressful day? go easy and have fun

I usually start with the most difficult option available and just see how far I'll get. And because of this I Truely hate it when games lock their most difficult modes Untill you finished the game on the previous difficulty... Guess what, I'm probably never going to replay your game... Just give me nightmare mode from the start. If it's to much I'll start a new one on hardcore but let me choose for myself.

Nope. I always play "the way the game is meant to be played". Except for FPS shooters. Then I go full difficulty. Because I want to think I am still as good as when I was playing Counter Strike 15 years ago... Which I am not, but let me lie to myself, okay?

I usually try to challenge myself, often struggle with the idea of accepting a lower difficulty, feels as if I am failing myself. It feels like this is another of the requirements for "manhood", lower difficulty somehow makes me feel "lesser".
15/09/22
Depends on which game
15/09/22
When I was younger I did enjoy the most difficult setting and even hardcore, now I am older and life is a lot more difficult, something easy for a change is nice.
