Normal. My twitch-skills are fading with age.

[JediHealerCosmin]

Mostly Hardcore. After finishing Insanity twice, the hardcore setting allows me to use any squadmate I want. That way, the challenge and fun factors are still present while I play with my favorite characters.

since i want to play a challenging game but i still want my adepts powers to be effective, i play a modified version of veteran. i restrain myself on upgrading my weapons and my health. so i can still use my biotics the majority of the time and i still have a challenge. although this has become to easy now, so i might have to get into enemy protections on hardcore/insanity.

its tough with ME2. the game changes so drastically from veteran to hardcore. its almost like bioware should have made enemy protections exclusive to insanity. much like a version of "hardcore mode" from fallout new vegas.

Adepts can be pretty awesome on insanity if used correctly. Most missions can be completed without firing a shot with the right group comp and effective warp bombing.

nah. its just not the same. if an adept on hardcore played like an adept was intended to be played, then i wouldnt have to modify my own version of difficulties. spamming singularty and warp and relying on my squadmates solely for debuffs isnt how i want to play the game.

Always normal. I COULD play it on the hardest settings, but I just don't care enough to do so. Only when a game is extremely easy (action games typically) do I up the difficulty. I'll never get all the achievements in these types of games since there are classes that I'll never have an interest in playing, so there is really no need for me to worry.



I don't play many shooters, and the one that I have played like Mass Effect are story and role-playing driven , so I suppose that plays a part. I have noticed that my skills in these types of games has increased significantly. Even when I encounter a tricky fight, I usually figure it out fast and rarely die anymore. My thinking is that, sure, I could up the difficulty, but that would simply be saying "They can't beat me on even terms, so lets let the computer let AI cheat a bit." Blah.

[HopHazzard]

Normal for the first playthrough, then usually casual when I replay because I'm more interested in moving the story along.

[Someone With Mass]

Hardcore on my first playthrough and then Insanity on every playthrough after that. I think it's pretty easy on Insanity, if I'm not going up against attacks that can knock me out of cover.



Or the incredibly old and lame infinite enemy spawn thing. That's just annoying.

Yeah I am not a fan of the clown car room infinite spawn thing as well.  I think it breaks in both directions.  A person is a slow gamer and they get penalized extra for not being good at a game, when just geting through the game was hard enough as is.  You are a good gamer or pick a fast class like vanguard and a lot of difficulty is skipped as you skip the fights. 

[kongenial]

Well I play usually on normal or occasionally on veteran. I tried the ominous insanity difficulty once and wasn't that impressed. For me it's just tedious as enemies always got some extra defense and more life. To me this is not fun but work. Well just my two cents.

[Kai Hohiro]

Hardcore or Insanity, depending on my mood if I just want to play through encounters casually, or be more involved.

I do love Insanity in ME2, because unlike in many other games you aren't forced to grind levels or abuse a games bad AI, learn the levels by heart or  try to exploit game mechanics. Instead I play more tactically, combo abilities and followers better, use the enviroment more to my advantage, etc.
The encounters aren't a brick wall I need to destroy with a tiny hammer, but more a puzzle that I need to solve clever and efficiently.

Alotta people who dislike Insanity seem to try to solve encounters by hammering them down with tiny hammers, which eventually might work, but you actually have hammers, picks, explosives and many more tools at your disposal to bring down that wall in a quicker and more fun manner.

My first playthrough was on veteran, and have now almost finished an insanity playthrough.

I think I will go with insanity in the future, it's not unfairly difficult and when I do die it's usually due to a stupid move on my part rather than bad luck. On veteran, especially on husk levels, it was far too easy to just use biotics to make battles a cakewalk.

[II J0SePh X II]

I always do ME2 on insanity now, and I'm using powers and squad powers in real time, only pausing to put squadmates in cover. In ME2 I've always done hardcore, but I'm building up an infiltrator to get the insanity achievement on the second run.

This is exactly how I feel about Insanity, and it's why ME2 is the only game where I've ever played on the hardest difficulty just for fun.  Knowing the levels does help, but the aggressive AI changes the game completely.  It's not perfect, of course, there are levels that suffer enormous difficulty spikes disproportional to even Insanity difficulty (like that ONE DAMNED VORCHA in Garrus's base ).  And it's not balanced between classes for Insanity--but still oodles of fun.  

I honestly think the reason so many folks play the game on harder difficulty settings is because the combat itself is fun, clean, and fast-paced to begin with.  Harder difficulties become more challenging and tactical, but they don't ever slow to a halt a la, say, Dragon Age.

[IntrepidProdigy]

ME1 = insanity when playing biotic classes (because i and wrex have warp)



ME2 = NG+ insanity only, regardless of class. It's more convenient for me since I only have to worry about which upgrades to buy, and I just enjoy the challenge it provides.

[Wolf Of Many Faces]

First playthrough on Hardcore (Vanguard) and all since on Insanity (Infiltrator, Soldier, and partway through Engineer).

[SteelerWayne]

ME1 - Normal at first, then Casual to move the story along

ME2 - Veteran and Hardcore

[Binary Boy]

in Me1 I mostly played hardcore

ME2 I went insanity for most of my playthroughs

[Sandbox47]

Nah, I tend to get bored with normal and go above. Then I die and so I go to normal, cursing all the while. Then I get back to anything more difficult than normal... it's a vicious circle.

[Lord Phoebus]

ME2: insanity and nothing else.



ME1: the gameplay is so horrible that I just don't play it. Insanity was particularly bad on ME1, I had that feeling that even with thousands of rounds of ammo per clip I should have been running out of ammo at that difficultly. I did finish an ME1 vanguard insanity run, but other than the Krogan on Therum and the Lunar VI base there was no challenge to it, just enemies that take a few hundred rounds to kill.

[DJBare]

Casual, I'm one for the story, though I do enjoy the combat, it really depends on the game for me, in FO:NV I play hardcore normal level, the elements give me a more immersive game like having to eat and drink, heck, Shepard only gets a chance of two meals!

[Sneelonz]

Veteran when I want to zoom through it, if not, hardcore.

[Mylene]

everytime i start a new class,i play at least on veteran,later always change the difficulty to insanity.because other difficultis are too boring compared to insanity.
