Also, does it change for different genres of games? For example i usually play on hard for third person shooters, but medium for FPS's.

Hm, I suppose I mostly play on Normal. So whatever the games are set at when I first go to play.

Medium/Normal

I usually play on 'normal', I very rarely replay the game on a higher difficulty, the exception being Sin and Punishment where I worked my way through each difficulty setting before moving on to a different game.

9 out of 10 err.. 99 out of a 100 err.. 999 out of a 1000 times, I play on the default difficulty the first time around.

I almost always play a game on normal(voted medium).

Normal/medium.
