[POLL] How difficult do you like games? [POLL]

[Kenna09]

I am not sure what the "average" gamer likes in terms of difficulty. Would a game that is really hard from the start, like say flappy bird, make a lot of people stop playing the game after a few tries or make them try harder? Make it easy so people feel accomplished as they play? I guess I am currently leaning towards the middle-man, moderate.

Same thing. I don't want to do sandboxing with games, but not get too frustrated with hard difficulties. I play to enjoy so I might as well pick Moderate modes only.

I'd say Flappy Bird is easy (it's so simple even a kid can play it). It's just hard to make a decent score.

I like moderate/easy games, because I play it on my Android smartphone with quite small screen and only when I'm extremely bored. Also, I don't like touch screens for gaming purposes - playing arcade games is very uncomfortable to me (e.g. Tetris - old, classic, but still great game on every device with keys, pain in the a... on touch screen).

And that's why I play games mostly on PC. And when it comes to PC games, I like games which are "easy to play, hard to master".

I see what you are getting at and I agree with you. Even though i didn't really think of it that way before but ya, how easy the controls and mechanics of the game isn't exactly the same thing as the difficulty level of the game.

So that is definitely a factor that I didn't consider before but luckily for me, the game i am making has easy controls and mechanics which is great. I don't have to worry about that factor. And so far people i've been getting the moderate level of difficulty from people more than any other difficulty, actually no one says easy lol

between easy and moderate - I like to progress but not too quickly
