Although the smart choice is Beginner mode, i will 100% each playable game for the HD ReMIX's on Proud. The game is just too boring on the lower difficulties, and i relish a challenge in video games. I won't look back. But i won't do it on Critical, i'm not gonna do it the first time anyway. I might 100% the games on Critical after playing through them a couple of times, but not the first time i play through Critical.

I'll most likelly end up doing all difficulties

All three.

I'll play them all on Critical, with the exception of getting the trophies forcing you to play on lower difficulties. 

100% on Proud, definitely. Probably all difficulties eventually, as time drags on...Unless 2.5 comes out before I accomplish it.

I'll let you know when I get the game.
