I seem to give the hardest difficulty a shot when first playing a game, which is usually hard, so I'll go with that. (Very hard being something that is unlocked most of the time.)

I am stuck on the train in killzone 2 and at the very start of gow3 and I refuse to lower the difficulty setting. so very hard, and nothing else. |
Really? lol....the point of games is to have fun
It depends on what trophies I'll need to get for the game. If it has some based on diffiulty then I will choose the hardest mode available just to save time. If there arent any difficulty trophies then I usually just stick to medium.

ME2 on normal is like a completely different game =) So many things that you can get away with on normal are completely ineffective on Insane. That's what I love about harder difficulties, it forces you to be as efficient as you can just to have a chance. For me, it's the only way I can learn a game quickly. It's kind of limiting yes, but limits are what help you get better at just about anything.
Seriously though, games on different difficulties can almost be different games. Things like item combos or certain strategies or techniques can be rendered null and void on higher difficulties. Also, I don't really have fun unless it's at least moderately challenging (for single player that is). Easy can be fun to mess around with, or getting easy achievements/trophies (which I don't even care about anymore), but that's it.
I hate unlocking difficulties, just give me the hardest setting from the get-go; It'll be fine, I promise.
The one right before the hardest difficulty. Locked difficulties also count. Games that have the 2 hardest difficulties locked at first have been almost always 100% shitty.
Easy the first time I play it. Then after that I advance one difficulty level each time I beat the game.
Been away for a bit, but sneaking back in.
Gaming on: PS4, PC, 3DS. Got a Switch! Mainly to play Smash

Like God of War and Mass Effect?

Indeed. Too repetative, too easy, and hence too boring.
