So, if the choice is available, what difficulty level do you usually pick on your first playthrough of a game?
Very easy? Easy? Normal? Hard? Very hard? Insane?
For me, it's generally Normal. But when I have a huge backlog of unfinished games and little time to play them, I tend to pick Easy level just so I can finish a game with minimal frustrations. Sometimes I'll also go the easy route if a game doesn't really interest me gameplay-wise - in that case, I just want to cruise through it and see the storyline.
