I remember reading somewhere, but default (usually Normal) is the difficulty the developers design the game around. Easier and harder are based off of this difficulty with some changes.Gamerforlife wrote:I dislike difficulty settings in some games, because often it's like the game completely changes on a different difficulty setting which leaves me wondering, which one of these is the REAL game.
One game that was hard as hell that I enjoyed and eventually completed/collected everything was F-Zero GX. It was insanely difficult but possible to beat if you had mastered all the driving mechanics on the hardest difficulties.
