  i play fallout and one or two other games on hardcore - everything else i start out on the easiest setting and dial it up if needed (which is never, really)
  someone else's opinion of what or how i play games is roughly as important as someone telling me how to sit while i watch tv - i'm struggling to imagine something i could care less about
  it's a little funny, i have a buddy whose taste in games is the exact opposite of mine; he likes very hard/permadeath/pixelated/2D nonsense (binding of isaac/super meat/etc) and i like pretty, easy, open world, escapism (borderlands/far cry/etc)
  he claims he could stick a keyboard in my lap and sit me in front of a blu-ray of Nemo and i'd be perfectly happy "gaming" that way...and i'm certain his idea of the perfect game would be a single dark pixel on an otherwise empty screen and if he moves it or does anything at all it empties his bank account irl
context: I literally do not care one iota about what anyone thinks about how I play video games. >
  
  You’re doing it right 🫡 >
  
  For me, if the game is too hard for me to get through at my own pace and relaxed then it isn't fun to play. It's why I can't do raids, grandmasters, legend and master difficulties on Destiny.. damn shit is far too hard for me even with friends so I just stick to my own lane. >
  
  I've switched plenty of video games to easy mode just because they're tedious as hell on hard. A lot of modern game designers really suck at properly implementing difficulty, so the result is just to make all the enemies into damage sponges.
  Persona 5 and Ni No Kuni were two RPGs I played recently and eventually switched to easy mode just because random battles were taking FOREVER. I like a challenge, not a slog. >
  
  “I like a challenge, not a slog” perfect description. >
  
  Its your game, your money, your property, your time. So you can play however you want, you are not obligated to do anything anyone else tells you. You do you. 
  Personally, I find that if a game doesnt offer a reasonable challenge, I dont enjoy it. But thats just me. >
  
  I’m the same way, something about doing something frustrating then completing it, gives me a rush. But that shouldn’t be everyone’s standard of gaming. >
  
  When i was a kid, i used to play everything on medium. Never easy or hard. I always thought that was what the game is meant to be played like. I saw it as an accomplishment too, beating a game. I don't have as much time on my hands now, and playing a game is somewhat of a special occurence, so i can't throw away countless hours on repeating some part of it just because it's supposed to be difficult. If the game gets hard, i put it on easy, no second thoughts. If i can then restore it to medium, great, if not...i don't care. I just want to get through the game. >
  
  At this point, I play turn-based games on easy mode. They’re not difficult, they’re just boring as shit to play and I want to finish the menu-flipping faster so I can get back to the story. >
  
  is this: persona 5? >
  
  From Software: Difficulty levels? What dat >
  
  It's called magic and summoning if you want to unlock the secret easy mode.
