Kind of curious where the board is at on this. Personally, I enjoy games the most when I'm overcoming the best they have to throw at me, plus taking on that challenge can take some games to a really awesome place they might not have reached otherwise.

I feel like Tales is a great example here - with most of the titles you can play on normal and just blitz the game and have a fun time, but those games have surprisingly deep combat and the higher difficulty is there for you if you want to dive head first into those systems.

That being said, I'll pretty much always opt to play a game on the highest difficulty - unless it's something silly like a shooter that just makes the enemies more bullet spongy as you hike the difficulty. That kind of thing is poor design IMO and doesn't really add anything meaningful to the game.
