Do you prefer when games lock you in at a difficulty level?
Or where you can switch it on the fly? The one thing I like about having it locked in is it gives you the will to carry on and try to beat a particularly hard part, because you don't want to have to start over. There's been times where I've died repeatedly in a certain part, just said fck it and turned the difficulty down just for that section, and then beat the game after that on the higher difficulty. But it just doesn't feel quite the same, even if it'll still give you the trophy for the higher level which some games do.
