Me, I prefer the easy side when it comes to playing video games.
 
difficult, but in a non-luck based way

for example turning up the difficulty of bioshock infinite is very fun to me because i actually have to plan ahead and have that exhilerating feel that "i'm about to die aaaaaah" that you don't get at lower difficulties

BUT

i hate turning up the difficulty in fire emblem because it just gives all the enemies stupidly high numbers and the only real way to win is through sheer luck and hoping you don't get hit by a crit or miss or lasndlfajshdlfkjnasdf
 
I play most games on the standard difficulty, if there's an option to adjust it. Whether or not I go higher or lower after that depends on the game and my performance.
 
Depends on the game. I prefer when it lets you set the difficulty, such as CPU levels in smash. I usually stay on the easy side but sometimes try out harder challenges. But stuff like the Perfect Run can go **** itself.
 
I play on the default difficulty usually, I change it if the game is too easy and lower it if it's too hard.

I like a little bit of a challenge so a little harder than the default is welcome.

wow, they really introduced a ton of new tactics for awakening, huh

I'd rather not have a really difficult game since I play games for fun more than anything and if it's too difficult it takes away from that
I'm not against hard games, sometimes they're worth the agony but I tend to stick to the lighter side of things
