Can someone give me a single reason why I'm supposed to play games on any difficulty higher than easy?
No, I don't want to waste my time with bullet sponge enemies
No, I don't want to waste my time with bullshit artificial difficulty
No, I don't care about being a """"real"""" gamer

Why stop there?
Why not just watch a longplay?
Or look up a summary?
Or watch a 2 minute review?
Or just not engage with the game at all?
The further you go the less time you waste, user.
You don't want to waste your precious youth which would be better spent on Any Forums.

Based.
If you beat Easy and still want to play more of the game, then move onto Normal for more content.
But otherwise, first playthrough, just Easy through it. If it has a difficulty selection, 98% of the time it just means wasting your time more with dumb adjustments
Jason Brooks
Your mind appears to be made up, and you don't care what other people think. Why make this thread at all?
Christian Price
because then you aren't playing the game?
playing on easy, you are still PLAYING
Watching a longplay is WATCHING
Sebastian Sullivan
you don't have to be a "real" gamer, but do you even want a game at all? there's nothing wrong if you don't. just watch other media or something.
Connor Torres
You should just play the difficulty you find most rewarding.
I like playing on normal because I want some challenge to keep me on my toes and engaged with the gameplay, but I mostly play for escapism so it doesn't need to be constant or too much.
I may raise the difficulty if I find normal too easy.
Just play at the difficulty that's suited for you.

Video games should be limited to 21 and up
Samuel Powell
I always play on normal because that's the normal difficulty the developers intend the game to have.
Xavier White
easy is for retards
normal is for geniuses
hard and above is for mentally ill

A dopamine rush for feeling like you accomplished something difficult I'd the only reason really. And if you don't get one then don't play on a hard difficulty.

Be a Chad and play normal, the game have been designed for it and it gives the illusion of a challenge while not being tedious.
Luke Martinez
Playing on easy is doing the bare minimum, it implies you care more about finishing the game to check it off your to do list than fully experiencing it
Lincoln Lewis
if your goal is to beat the game, cross over it in an arbitrary bucket list, move on, and consoom the next game, then there is no reason you are correct
Andrew Wilson
You are engaging with a game on easy and getting the same experience just with less effort.
Benjamin Jones
>easy
>the same experience
Christopher Clark
Because challenge is what drives us to grow. Overcoming challenge, even an arbitrary challenge, is inherently fulfilling.
Deliberately and consistently avoiding challenge weakens you - physically, psychologically, spiritually.
If you find that being weak in this way is your preferred state, then that's fine for you, the choice is yours to make. But for most, it's neither preferred nor fine.
Chase Hughes
many games lock you out of significant parts of the game if you don't at the very least play on normal
some even force you to play on hard, but those can fuck themselves imho
Eli Flores
Losers on Any Forums have no real life achievements so they need validation by bragging they beat games on hard difficulty

the problem is a lot of games decide "hard" mode is just "make things stupidly tedius" mode.
You're supposed to play hard mode on games where they made the a new easier mode and called it "normal"
But, you do you. Enjoy a game at your own benefit. I'm starting to think about turning on Neir Replicant's "auto battle" mode just because of how absolutely mindless the combat is.
Jacob Ward
Playing on easy... depends on the game. Most games made after 2004 on easy are literally for the disabled. Normal is the way it usually is played and hard or hard+ is for people who just like the game. Playing any game the first time on hardest is always what attention seeking faggots or imbeciles do.
Juan Hughes
Unironically people who have never been challenged by a videogame don't understand the appeal of overcoming something that at first seemed almost impossible.
The reason Souls was such a success is because the developers were adamant you don't get an easy mode, which for many players was their first taste of anything genuinely challenging. Even other games deemed "hard" always had some kind of baby blanket mode so you could beat them - people genuinely did have to play an overmemed action RPG (that's not even particularly demanding, just punishing) to get a taste of what the core unique appeal of videogames is.
Zachary Smith
A lot of games get really boring on easy, but they also tend to get frustrating and feel like a complete waste of time on the ultra-hard difficulties, at least on first playthroughs.
Julian Hughes
yeah bro just enjoy your games on easy
Lucas Sullivan
I only play games on the hardest difficulty available. If I get stuck I quit the game and don't play it again.
James Hughes
Because easy games are boring.
Sebastian Moore
Can someone give me a single reason why I'm supposed to play games on any difficulty lower than the maximum?
No, I don't want to waste my time with unthreatening enemies
No, I don't want to waste my time with nonexistant difficulty
No, I don't care about being a """"playing video games to relax""""
Andrew Lewis
Sometimes the higher difficulties are more fun. Sometimes they’re just more tedious. Don’t be afraid to experiment
