I felt that Halo: ODST was far too easy to complete on ‘Heroic’ difficulty. I know there is a Legendary difficulty setting, but heroic definitely did not feel strong enough.

I will admit I sometimes speed through games on easy modes for the achievements. However I always go back to see the game more challenging afterwards.

Personally I think every game should have at least four difficulty modes so that people have a choice. If you like a game enough you will try to play it on harder settings.

Some games seem to be getting easier, for instance I played Dead Space through on Hard straight away because people said normal was too easy. However, getting the trophy/achievement ” I choose The Impossible” on Bioshock is crazily hard to do so difficulty is still there for those who seek it.

Hey, I’ll have you know I got up to Expert on the Guitar on plastic instrument games, and have recently boshed my way to expert on some drums songs. I’m assuming I’ve played other games on normal/above, but i’ll be damned if I can think of any.

I’ve never finished a Halo game on anything other than easy. I’m so ashamed.

I myself take a games difficulty into consideration as much as I would it’s degree of fun. I’d be less than interested in a game that plays as easily as reading a book.
