It only matters in Wanted: Dead, because if you play on easy mode you have to wear the catears.

Your first experience on games with static difficulties should always be the developer intended experience, that is where you'll have the most fun. Once you know what that fun is, the higher difficulties get better.

I prefer easy mode to be honest where I feel comfortable and enjoy the games no matter what game

I dont care about all this steam achievements cards etc but its nice you get them when you play, I just liked to play the game and play on the difficulty I like and feel comfortable with, who cares if its easy and who cares if it bothers someone else

It only matters if you give a toss about what folks whose only achievement in life involves playing video games think.

...I don't find that group's opinion worth courting, but YMMV. Games are supposed to be fun; if it ain't fun on hard, dial it down, and let the goofballs howl about the purity of the sole gold star on mom's fridge.

If I want a challenge i up the difficulty, if not then i play it on normal or easier.

Some games are meant to be difficult and are there to challenge you to appreciate what it has to offer.

I'll use Mordheim as an example.
It is gang warfare in a medieval city.

Your member can get permanently injured or wiped out. So you recruit more and build them up.

Because this is bit of a process of building stats and fitting them in your gang, every loss or permanent injury is a bad thing so you have to think carefully on how to deploy the gang and how to proceed each turn.
Sending a ganger in as a Terminator will reward you with punishment.

So making Mordheim easier (you can choose missions and you can still play skirmish matches that dont have injuries etc that carry over.) would take that tension out and may lose some of its appeal.

Long ago i played a Spartan game , i loved it!
Unfortunatly they made an enemy take me down with arrows or bolts on one bit and unless i wanted to spend my free time before work just on that bit, i had to restart and put it on easy and get past it.
The game was fun and became bit of a walkthrough because of the easy setting. Which did take away from it.

I prefer the Oblivion way of difficulty, a slider that can be changed throughout gameplay without restarting.

Just play a skill level that you believe is right for you. If it’s too easy you can play in a harder difficulty on your next play through.

True. Some games are my first run and most of the time I like to enjoy the story more than worry about the difficulty of the game or games in question as I like a good story. I think who cares if others are like "oh easy really"....that is their opinion, I prefer easy on most games, who cares what others think

Some games yes you can change the slider in the middle of the game. I did that with Cold Steel 3. I hadnt played it before so idea what to expect after a long playing I change it from very easy to easy, so I upped the skill elvel a tiny bit :)
I like games where you can change it mid game

True that is what I think. I go with what I prefer not what others think. few weeks ago someone commenced on a YT video of mine they were like "Oh probably easy mode". I immediately though, so who cares if it was story mode.

Hot take but I believe games nowadays are too easy. I want a game that is so hard that you can die in the tutorial.
