When playing a game that has easy, standard and proud mode, which one do you usually choose?

When I first got into the Kingdom Hearts series. (Kingdom Hearts 2 was my first game.) I played it on Standard Mode.  But as I grew more passionate about this amazing video game series, I drove myself to be the best, and so I've played every single Kingdom Hearts game in it's hardest difficulty, and to me it feels easy.  And amazingly, this is the only video game series that I can actually play at it's most challenging level.  I don't have that kind of determination for other game series, lol.

First time: Normal

After: Hardest mode available.

 

I never choose easy.

I usually pick standard

With games im new to I like to play on easy to get the hang of it and then play standard or hard. Sometimes i just play easy so i can finish the story.

The only game series I play is KH and there I always choose proud mode, cause I want to be proud to have beaten it o/ jk, no I just choose it, cause' it's neither too easy nor too hard and I like that. 

Unless its Devil May Cry or a shooter, I'm always on the hardest mode available.

I go on the easiest made and then do the others on the next play throughs.

When playing a game for the first time then I normally start with Standard difficulty. But I usually do complete the game in hardest difficulty afterwards. 

Critical  mode

Depends. I like doing Proud Mode. I usually play the game a second time so sometimes I'll do Standard Mode first then Proud Mode.

Fakin Touhou min,just...Touhou ;-;

Most of the time "Proud" sometimes Standard. It really depends on the game. If it's KH, usually Proud.

When playing a game for the first time, I choose easy. Just so I can get a hang of the controls and whatnot. 

Usually go with Standard.

I usually play on Standard, and then I play on Proud so i can get to the secret ending easier. I know, im lame. but i like it! ^_^

Proud mode of course. Anything else is for babies.

On the first playthrough, I choose beginner. If its a game like KH, I choose standard.
