as soon as I load in i just throw myself off the map until i get the option to play it in assist mode. i don't even attempt in normal mode I'm here for a cinematic gaming experience not a sweatfest
the real answer is that it depends on the game. for story mode games I have no problem setting it to easy, for platformers or roguelikes I don't because the point of me playing the game is to beat the challenges. I just wish there was a way to turn on assist mode for the gen 2 ou ladder
