Here in the Search nav, you can.... SEARCH. Start typing a game or gamer, it will autosuggest. Press one to go, or hit Enter to get the full search results.
Below the searchbox, you'll see recent games, gamers, clubs, events, and quests you've visited.
Below that is the full site map with all of the different pages on this platform. Most of these are accessible in the other navs too. But here they're all in one place, if you're into that sort of thing.
Jump in a virtual or IRL event, tournament, or league. Participate in a Quest (a gaming challenge that you can do any time). Channel 3 has something for all skill levels, including gaming-focused daily minigames.
Go to Events below to search for real-time tournaments or other events. Quests will show you offline challenges you can complete at any time.
You may have friends here already, or you may meet your next lifelong squadmate here. Either way, Channel 3 is most fun when you find your people and can have friendly competitions and participate in challenges together.
Below you can navigate all the gamers, clubs, and causes on Channel 3.
If you'd like to create and run a Club, submit an New Club Request.
Whether it's 1 to 2, or 99 to 100, leveling up is the best feeling in the world. On Channel 3, when you participate in quests, when your post gets 1Up'd, when you crush a daily minigame, you get XP. Get 1k XP, and you level up and unlock rewards. Rewards can be custom reaction GIFs, cool backgrounds, or prize wheel spins for IRL gaming gear or in game currency.
Turbo is an optional subscription for superusers. You don't need Turbo to enjoy Channel 3. Turbo users get early access to new features, and are able to unlock more levels in a season.
On Channel 3, seasons last 3 months. They will always run January 1 - April 1, April 1 - July 1, July 1 - October 1, and October 1 - January 1.
Open channel3.gg in Chrome. Click the Install icon in the right side of the address bar:
Click Install when you get this prompt.
After installation, you can pin to the Windows taskbar alongside your other favorite apps.
Open channel3.gg in Safari. It has to be Safari.
Tap the Share button in the middle of the footer.
Tap Add to Home Screen.
Tap Add on the prompt.
BOOM. You're done. iPhones try to act like it's "just a website bookmark" because they want everyone to go through the App Store but really it functions just like an app... Full screen, moveable icon on your home screen. All of it.
Enjoy.
Install the Channel 3 app from the Google Play Store.
yes it does.... if it didn't the number of games I have beaten would be really low
and I play for the story , so difficulty doesn't even matter
(night mode is right here, right? night mode is cool...more
Even though I am very competitive, I whole heartedly believe that the main point of gaming is having fun. As long as you had fun beating the game, whether on easy or hard, it's a win in my books!
If it's a story game, I'm playing the game for the story...not for the difficulty (at least the first time around)...so yeah...I beat the game...doesn't matter what difficulty it was on.
Yes. No matter what difficulty setting you complete the game on. It’s about enjoying yourself on a journey that the game creators created. You can always challenge yourself to higher difficulty leve...more
Absolutely! Difficulty modes are made for different skill levels. If your skill level is at a place that you can’t beat “normal” or “hard” modes then easy mode is the win for you. Take it...more
I think it’s always important to set your own objectives with games.
If the goal is to experience the story, I don’t think the difficulty level matters. Especially if, in adulthood, you don’...more
100% some of us, myself included, are not good at video games like you guys are. Hey, I have had 2 concussions and my reaction time is terrible. That is why I cannot take games like CoD and Fortnite s...more
Absolutely! Especially as a parent, sometimes you just want to enjoy a game and get through it to see what everyone else has seen/is talking about, and anything above "easy" takes too much time with t...more
Part of me wants to say “normal” is the bare minimum, but I have so little time to play these days, I get the easy mode just to have a fulfilling experience now. This is another way of saying I am...more
I think this is one of those relics of the past, where the people who suffered through The Lion King, etc think everything needs to be difficult to be worth it. I'm here to tell you - it's okay. Let t...more
Because if you want to play again you can go to the next difficulty. It shouldn’t matter what difficulty you are playing if you beat the game you beat it.
I'd never see the endings of a game if I didn't sometimes. If it's not baseball practice/tournaments/games, football practice/games, wrestling practice/meets, basketball practice/games, fall baseball ...more
Eyes aren't like they used to be, hands aren't quick anymore. I may play the whole.game on normal.or higher but that end boss after 6 retries I just say screw it. I need to just finish it and move to ...more
Officially, no - because sometimes the difficulty (and getting those rare achievements) is the whole point of the game.
Lots of people find the challenge rewarding, others are just in it for the st...more
Nothing wrong with easy mode, especially if you want to just get through the game and enjoy the story. But if you want to claim you "beat" it, you would need to play through it in the "normal" mode o...more
Easy is reserved for kids! Definitely like having options for this, don't like it when the game is too easy on story mode. Need to go back to the NES game development days where the story mode is almo...more
It's gotta be normal or harder before it counts. Easy is like the video gamer's version of entitlement. "I deserve to win (because I'm entitled), and so I'm going to choose easy mode."
I think beating the game in any manner for which the developers designed counts.
There are certainly games out there that I want to play for the story and not grind the harder difficulty.
That said,...more
As someone who used to struggle with accepting the fact that there was an "easy mode" I can only say "yes". There is nothing wrong with just wanting to enjoy the story of a game, and there's many gam...more
Some people play for the casual gameplay.
Some play for the challenge.
Some play for the story.
We all play to get some sort of enjoyment from games no matter the difficulty and thats what matters...more
Yes it sure does. You beat it at a level of difficulty that you enjoy. Video games for the most part are for enjoyment, especially single player games. If you want to find that enjoyment playing on ea...more
If for yourself you feel the need to beat it on hard, fine! But I don't think you can tell someone else they didn't truly beat it just because they chose easy for the sake of time or other factors.
Yes, it's for you to enjoy the game as you see fit. I tend to leave it on default (medium) for the first time going through the story, then I'll up the difficulty for follow-ups.
I understand why some are saying no. You make some pretty strong arguments there ... but you're still wrong. Otherwise, even if you beat it on the hardest level, but don't complete every achievement ....more
My stance has changed over time on this. All I have to say is that game stories are so good and so elaborate, and you should do whatever you need to do you can enjoy them. You can't take the old schoo...more
Heck yes it does. I don't have endless hours to perfect some arcane complicated whatever on the highest difficulty. If you get a different ending and want to see that extra cut scene, just look it up ...more
Does it count? Absolutely! Does it feel the same? No. There’s a reason I don’t typically choose the easiest setting. Typically the challenge is what helps make the game enjoyable. Mario Kart again...more
There are games I’ve never played so they get easy mode on the first play 90% of the time. I did this for multiple games. Then I’ll go back and restart at a higher difficulty because I have a gene...more
It definitely counts, I'm not here to gatekeep your skill level or your desire to simply enjoy a game and it's story. I started the MWII campaign on the hardest difficulty available and was dying so m...more
It depends. I was a hard “no” on this growing up but as an adult with a lot less time, I’ve used easy mode somewhat. I’m going through Bioshock Infinite now on easy because I only play a coupl...more
Hell yes it does. Most of the time anymore I play games for the story and gameplay, I've never been an Elden Ring/Dark Souls kind of guy where the difficulty is the attraction.
Hell yes. Tons of beautifully told stories within video games, and I understand why someone would want to sit back and enjoy a game on easy.
I have games like Rocket League and COD that piss me ...more
Did you enjoy the story? Great! Did you have fun? Awesome! Did you beat the game intended by the creators? No! Some games won't even give you the full ending for doing so. Solution: Be like Mario Bros...more
I mean it’s a game. Now I will admit going to easy will take away from the game. Like if you use Nabbit in Super Mario U Deluxe you are taking away the fun of the game with no damage. That may be an...more
When I was a teen I would have said no. As I’ve gotten older and slowed down, definitely. There are some games I’ll never be able to play on more than easy sadly.
Absolutely 100% yes. Getting older means I have no time for hard difficulty anymore. I just want to enjoy the game. I play most single player games on Easy nowadays and I don't regret a thing.
Some will say it doesn’t, but games will even suggest if you are new to the genre to start on easy. Some games even have a fluid difficulty that adjusts to how you are doing. In the end, video games...more
There are some games where it does
But easy does NOT always count.
Functionality is taken out of some games to make them “easy”
Conversely, some extreme modes are made to be more difficu...more
