Games you just fucking gave up on.

[Guitar Woman]

Because they were horrible, too hard, too boring, any reason counts!

I've really been trying to play Morrowind, trying really hard. I had somewhere around 30 mods running, and even with all that, I really can't get past the fact that it's a completely abysmal, boring, unentertaining piece of shit. Playing Oblivion for real for the first time earlier today really sealed Morrowind's fate for me. Even unmodded, I was able to have infinitely more fun in about an hour playing that than I've had during all my 15+ hours hours wasted on Morrowind.

Fuck you, Morrowind, you are the worst game in the entire world. I sort of like your story, and wish you were just a book. You'd probably suck a lot less!

[darkvare]

crime life gang wars the controls were awful and graphics worse

[Emu]

I'm about to give up on Ys III. This game is fucking hard.

[Supafly345]

I give up on nothing. I have a disease.

[executioneer]

i gave up on tengen's gauntlet for NES, it just gets too goddamn hard near the end :(

[DuFresne]

I've never finished a single RPG besides Chrono Cross (and Pokemons Blue and Gold if those even really count). What's sad is that I really enjoy most of the Final Fantasies I have, but for some reason I always reach a point where I get bored and tell myself "eh, just play another game for a few days, then come back to this," but then I just never regain the willpower to pick up where I left off. But these days I don't even bother with RPGs at all because I know I don't have the time.

Actually, Chrono Cross is the only Playstation RPG I've ever even gotten to disc 2 on. :x

Edit: oh, I usually finish Zelda games, though, if those count as RPGs.

[Emu]

Actually, Chrono Trigger is the only Playstation RPG I've ever even gotten to disc 2 on. :x

I don't know what the hell version you're playing, but my PS copy of Chrono Trigger only has one disc.

[DuFresne]

Damn, how'd I fuck that up? I meant Cross. Oh well, edit time!

[ElPila666]

The only Final Fantasy that i finished was Dirge of Cerberus. I'm stuck in Final Fantasy X dragon thing that attacked you in the airship, i already made like 7 attemps, i think i gonna quit it. I can't even use a cheat disc on my PS2 :(

[Guitar Woman]

Oh, yeah, Silent Hill 2.

I probably would have finished it despite how much I don't like anything about it, but I got bored wandering around the prison looking for the last sin tablet to put in the plaque under the noose and then just didn't play it again

[Chojin]

condemned, but that was after the first stage ;<
bioshock, after a few hours
half life 2, after 4 hours
stranglehold, after the parking garage scene, due to the 360's awful controls for that game
duke nukem 3d, after realizing the level design was terrible
morrowind, after getting the star of nerevar or something ;<
oblivion, at various points (reformats usually kill my oblivion games due to all the mods not being the same)
countless mmos
ninja gaiden 2 after that wind stage jesus christ what the fuck
mario 64, about 40 stars in

pretty much my life has been an endless succession of failed gaming attempts!

[executioneer]

i don't think mmos count for this, cause you can't WIN them

[Dommin]

Ninja Gaiden for the NES. That last boss raped me. Many, many, many times. I have nightmares about it sometimes.

[Esuohlim]

I never finished Twilight Princess, because I had already completed everything else except the very last boss and I thought "well this is it anyway".

This goes for countless other games as well. In fact I don't think I've ever 100% finished a game in the last 10 years.

[GADZOOKS]

With the exception of freeware games and emulators now and then, I've given up on videogames in general :(

[MetalMilitia]

Why is guitar woman ALWAYS complaining about how she has been playing some game for several hours and hates it?

Here is a pro gamer tip for your GW: If you've played a game for a couple of hours and completely hate it don't bother playing anymore. Even more importantly; shut up about how much you hate it because no one cares.

No one is forcing you to play anything and I sincerely doubt you bothered to pay for it, so you're not going to be out of pocket if you delete it.

[Kitsa]

I gave up on Friday the 13th for NES when I was a little kid because Jason coming at me in the water scared the hell out of me. I don't know why.

[Fat_Hippo]

I finish less than half the games I start, mostly because I get bored. I have a short attention span.

[Dr. Boogie]

I'm about to give up on Ys III. This game is fucking hard.

You've just got to grind for a bit to gain a few levels, and use the downward jumping stab to kill tougher enemies.

And seriously, GW, stop play game in the Elder Scrolls series. And once you've stopped, don't start again.

[Sam]

I give up on pretty much every game I play. Then months or years later I go back to it and decide I have no idea what is going on or what I am supposed to be doing, so I delete my save games and start all over again, only to abandon it in a couple of weeks. :(

The best example of that is Vagrant Story. I have restarted that at least 5 times.

[Guitar Woman]

Morrowind is the first game in a few years that I acutally bought, that gives me the right to be ANGRY :<


Also, as I said before, I like the universe it's set in. It is INTERESTING. It's something I want to go and explore and would be totally great if the game wasn't awful :<

It's sort of like, if an INCREDIBLE TREASURE were hidden deep within the flesh of my right leg, and if I got ahold of it it would be wonderful and make all my dreams come true, and all I have to do is cut the fuck out of my leg to get at it. Then I start to do that and am like, "this is terrible, why am I doing this."

But also the treasure is really boring and colorless and I probably actually wouldn't care anyway.

[bigtimecow]

NiGHTS journey of dreams: i ended up trading this in towards brawl so it would only cost 10 bucks, but yeah, i really tried to like this game. the visuals were nice and the control scheme (no, not the wiimote one) was somewhat fun, but the artificial time limit was annoying. there was absolutely no reason for me to only have 120 seconds to destroy some dragon mouth floor disappearer that bursts into little bubbles that i have to fly around in circles to destroy.

but then again, maybe the entire game doesn't really make sense :/

[Noodles]

I gave up on trying to beat Resident Evil 4 for the fifth time.

[Chojin]

Oh yeah, same as esuohlim I quit Twilight Princess, but I did it on like the second dungeon because I couldn't see a fucking thing. LTTP is to date the only zelda game I've played, liked, and beaten. Since that had an overhead view, you could actually see all of the elements of the puzzles you were trying to solve, but in Twilight Princess I just couldn't find anything and kept missing jumps and falling into lava. And it was just cripplingly boring.

Also Willie I count failing at MMOs to be not getting to the level cap. Which I've never done, so maybe I need to set a new standard for myself :< Closest I ever got was hitting the level 40 cap on City of Villains, but they raised it to the City of Heroes 50 cap and I never got that :<

[Esuohlim]

Ocarina of Time is in my top-five favorite games and I've never bothered to defeat Ganondorf.

I've never completed Earthbound either :(

[Guitar Woman]

gasp

[Emu]

You've just got to grind for a bit to gain a few levels, and use the downward jumping stab to kill tougher enemies.

Yeah, I figured that out. I ground to level 4 or so and then ran through the first dungeon holding down the attack button and one-shotting all of the enemies.

Then one of those blue demons killed me and I had to start over ;_;

[Guitar Woman]

I gave up on all three Marathons, the first two because I could not for the life of me find my way around in any of the levels, and Infinity because it's awful :<

[Esuohlim]

gasp

:eek

Actually the only video game I can take credit for finishing in recent memory is GTA San Andreas, which is actually a big deal considering it took about 70 hours.

[Pub Lover]

I just finished San Andreas on Sunday. Like all the really rare times that I play a game to the end, I was left feeling dissatisfied that it was so easy.

[Cedar]

I gave up on all three Marathons, the first two because I could not for the life of me find my way around in any of the levels, and Infinity because it's awful :<
i feel you dawg

[Chojin]

that's why there is a MAP

[Guitar Woman]

I too have a terrible confession

I never beat Mischief Makers.

:tear

[Emu]

Nobody beat that game. :rolleyes

[Hangie]

I gave up on Monster rancher. I had no idea what the hell I was supposed to be doing during the battles.

[Girl Drink Drunk]

I gave up on trying to beat Resident Evil 4 for the fifth time.
I beat it twice along with several extra missions ! :)

[Dr. Boogie]

Yeah, I figured that out. I ground to level 4 or so and then ran through the first dungeon holding down the attack button and one-shotting all of the enemies.

Then one of those blue demons killed me and I had to start over ;_;

Well ya gotta save too, geez!

Also, as I said before, I like the universe it's set in. It is INTERESTING. It's something I want to go and explore and would be totally great if the game wasn't awful :<

It's sort of like, if an INCREDIBLE TREASURE were hidden deep within the flesh of my right leg, and if I got ahold of it it would be wonderful and make all my dreams come true, and all I have to do is cut the fuck out of my leg to get at it. Then I start to do that and am like, "this is terrible, why am I doing this."

And I like the Legacy of Kain universe, but that doesn't mean I'm going to play Blood Omen II again.

I guess what I'm saying is that you're a sucker. Quit being a sucker for ES games. You may like the universe, but the gameplay's never going to change, so cut it out.

[Noodles]

I beat it twice along with several extra missions ! :)

I had no ammo on the part where Ashley has to go on the ledge and pull those switches or something.
PREHAPS IT WAS NOT WORTH 100,000,000 PESOS FOR THE INFINATE ROCKET LAUCHER >:

[Guitar Woman]

I sold everything to try and do an entire game with only the infinite rocket launcher, until I got to that part and realized it was impossible :<

[Emu]

You at least need a sniper rilfe.

[Girl Drink Drunk]

I had no ammo on the part where Ashley has to go on the ledge and pull those switches or something.
PREHAPS IT WAS NOT WORTH 100,000,000 PESOS FOR THE INFINATE ROCKET LAUCHER >:
Improve on aiming and conserving ammo. I managed to beat the game and I'm not that great a gamer! Go for it!

[Girl Drink Drunk]

Also, instead of wasting tons of ammo on those El Ginganto things, just buy a one-shot rocket launcher here and there.

[Guitar Woman]

I had to give up on Silent Hill 3 almost as soon as I started because even at the smallest resolution my Geforce 4 MX440 apparently can't handle a game from 2003

it defeated me in another way :<

[Girl Drink Drunk]

I had to give up on Silent Hill 3 almost as soon as I started because even at the smallest resolution my Gforce 4 MX440 apparently can't handle a game from 2003

Get the PS2 version. The effects would probably look nicer anyways.

Also, to stay on topic and avoid commiting internet crimes, I've never gotten around to beating Final Fantasy I, IV, VI, or VII.

Recently, I've stop playing Oblivion because it was taking up way too much time and I didn't really feel I was progessing that well.

[Guitar Woman]

when I was younger the idea of a final confrontation with the most powerful being on the planet scared the fuck out of me, so instead of finishing FF7 I just ran around completeing whatever sidequests I could find

I think I tried to beat Sephiroth once, and then my CD broke.

also I don't have a pee ess too

[Girl Drink Drunk]

FFI- I gave up after getting beaten by some sort of vampire resembling Dracula (I think)
IV- Made it to the last boss and got my ass whipped
VI- Gave up after several fruitless attempts to find Locke (I was unaware of the "find" function on my computer at the time, which would have helped with a walkthrough)
VII- I twice saved over my files (which were countless hours into the game and on the third disc). I was going to save my friends files for them after they left, and out of a force of habit I forgot to move the cursor down and save on my fucking file >:. That killed my interest of the game for a while.

[Noodles]

Actually i shouldent have had to have to play that game 2 extra times but I kept starting a new game over the WIN file when i should have loaded it.

[argonath]

I gave up on Morrowind a few times. I suppose one of these days I'll go back and find a class I can get into.

The most recent one I quit was Sudeki. What a fucking terrible game. It's a shame the Xbox never really got more than a few decent RPGs.

[DuFresne]

I gave up on Bioshock around the time the scientist lady in the Garden sends you on a ridiculously contrived fetch quest, and assumed the whole game would be something like this and I have little patience for that sort of thing. My computer wasn't too great at running Bioshock anyway :(

[Fathom Zero]

There's only one other situation as bad as that and it's the part where you have to break into Ryan's office. Most of the other fetch quests are fairly linear and forward-moving, i.e. no backtracking.

[Kilgore Cod]

FFVI

I gave up on it some years back after I got to some floating island and was constantly getting my ass beat by the monsters and I had no way of getting off the island without completing the mission.

Recently I started playing it again, this time the GBA version. Played it for a bit but stopped a few weeks ago for no real reason. I do plan on getting back into it, so its status is pending.

[BLEU]

Wild ARMs 3. A jRPG with wild-west/post-apocalyptic themes. How do you screw that up? It didn't even feel Western. :\

Every Harvest Moon game. I always lose interest in the second year.

Resident Evil 0. The female character fell down a hole, and I couldn't find her.

[Chojin]

DuFresne, that's actually just around the time I stopped playing Bioshock.

[bigtimecow]

oh man BLEU, i forgot about harvest moon. only once did i actually make it to like, some fair in the town with the mayor... or something related. it just gets so fucking boring.

[BurntToShreds]

Etrian Odyssey. The grinding is just horrendous. But yesterday I saw that they were making a sequel, and that there's something about a "Game-Clear Password", and now I'm going to have to get back into it.

[Symphony of the Belmonts]

I'm about to give up on Ys III. This game is fucking hard.

Seconded! I tried really really hard but DAAAAMN

[RaNkeri]

FF8

I've tried to play it thrice, and I always end up getting bored at the 1st disc :/
Magic draw fucking sucks ass from a straw.

[Fat_Hippo]

Has anyone here ever beat a Final Fantasy game?:rolleyes

[WhiteRat]

I gave up on San Andreas for PS2 after I realized that the glitch instantly killing Mad Dog on the roof in Las Venturas prevented me from playing any further. Apparently if you activate the Pedestrian Riot cheat and save the game, Mad Dog will always jump off the roof before you can save him. God that sucked.

[executioneer]

Has anyone here ever beat a Final Fantasy game?:rolleyes

i beat 1 and 7 that i can remember

[BLEU]

I've beaten IX, X, and X-2. They were all pretty much terrible.

FF is sickeningly overrated. At least the Tales Of... series has a fun battle system.

[RaNkeri]

I've beaten I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, IX and aprox. 90% of X plotwise.

On a sidenote, I've beaten IV and V twice, and VII 7 times. :(

[BLEU]

On a sidenote, I've beaten ... VII 7 times. :(

Was that pure coincidence, obsessive OCD, or something nerds do?

[RaNkeri]

It's nerd stuff, although it was partly coincidal :(

[Fathom Zero]

I've got a copy of FFVII if someone wants to buy it from me.

[Guitar Woman]

Playstation or PC?

[Pub Lover]

I give up on Earthbound at the point where they turn into robots. everytime.

Fun game, but the whole dream bit is annoying enough without the forementioned gave up part.

[Fathom Zero]

Playstation or PC?

Playstation, with it's original case. My friend has PC copies of VII and VIII.

[Pub Lover]

I gave up on Mario Sunshine after unlocking that damn stupid Fluff Festival.

[BLEU]

I give up on Earthbound at the point where they [secrets] everytime.

Fun game, but the whole dream bit is annoying enough without the forementioned gave up part.

Nice spoiler tags, jerk.

(I gave up there, too.)

[Pub Lover]

Let me just edit it for you, asshole. You shit fucking, dick munching, waste of goddamn life, I hope you die. :)

[Guitar Woman]

So for some reason I got the urge to play Morrowind again and after loading it up with all my original mods then digging out my copies of Tribunal and Bloodmoon so I could mod it further it just refused to run, and now every time I uninstall it it keeps the fucked up textures and directories.

Also for some hilarious reason Bloodmoon is corrupted and gives me errors along the lines of DATA SIZE OF 10 TOO BIG FOR WHEAT.FS, SIZE LIMIT SET AT 8, SIZE HAS BEEN TRUNCATED TO " " and WEATHER EFFECTS IN MOLAG MAR REGION NOT AT 100 PERCENT PROBABILITY, ENACTING SELF DESTRUCT SEQUENCE 27

even when I'm not playing it this game always manages to make itself fucking impossible to deal with

[Pub Lover]

I gave up on Star Fox Adventures at the flying on a dino & shooting the towers part.

[Guitar Woman]

I wish Starfox Adventures had never existed, yeah

[Pub Lover]

I gave up on The Lord of The Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring on the PS2 at the part when Gandalf is SUPPOSED TO DIE but if you let him die then it's game over.

[Fat_Hippo]

Harsh.

[thebiggameover]

GUN TEC- i thought mixing a shooter and a fighter would be a good thing. i was wrong...

[spencerjg]

Actraiser,that first town boss was impossible to get to.

[BLEU]

I can't beat Actraiser either. I always to the town with all the snow, and then whatever's supposed to happen there never happens. GAME OVER.

[Esuohlim]

I gave up on Mario Sunshine after unlocking that damn stupid Fluff Festival.

I'm about to give up on this too because of that damn pinball machine thing that always takes me dozens of tries to get and always by pure luck.

[Grislygus]

Actraiser was actually kinda easy until you fight everybody at once

[Guitar Woman]

Oh, yeah, I cleared every area in Actraiser and now I have no idea what I'm supposed to do

[Esuohlim]

Go outside

[Dr. Boogie]

Start up Morrowind again.

[Emu]

Oh, yeah, I cleared every area in Actraiser and now I have no idea what I'm supposed to do

there's a volcano up in the northeast(i think) corner of the map that you go in to and fight the final boss

[Dr. Boogie]

Yeah, don't they show that island appearing?

[BurntToShreds]

I'm about o give up on Rainbow 6: Vegas 2 because of the solo missions. So fucking stupid that your squad has to go help Logan in the events of the first game.

[Guitar Woman]

I must have missed something :(

[Kilgore Cod]

Has anyone here ever beat a Final Fantasy game?

V, VII twice, VIII, IX, X twice, XII



I've given up on Zelda II numerous times. I keep hearing that its supposed to be an amazing game but I've concluded that every single person who has ever said this is a bold faced liar.

[Chojin]

I've beaten FF 4, 6, and 10, but no others ;<

[Esuohlim]

I've beaten 10 too and even had the patience to play all that goddamn Blitzball in order to get all the ultimate weapons. It's the only real Final Fantasy game I've played.

EDIT: No well ok I've played FF3 for DS as well but I don't think I even completely half of it.

[Emu]

I like 5 because it has the most well-developed job system aside from Tactics. 6 is definitely my favorite but I also hate it because by the end of the game all of your characters become demigods in their own right and the only thing separating them is a single special ability, and even then Gogo can do everything they can do and better. :(

[outhouse]

i gave up on pong it was to fast for me

[Emu]

get out

[Guitar Woman]

So Morrowind is now crashing every 5 minutes and none of the kids from Children of Morrowind will load, causing huge shitstorms of errors

all of this can be traced to the fact that I had to reinstall Bloodmoon and Tribunal. It says the master files have changed completely and then explodes, despite me installing them from the EXACT SAME CD'S that I used previously.

this game really is fucking unplayable no matter what I do to it

[Emu]

and yet you continue to torture yourself by attempting to play it

[Chojin]

srsly it is time to move on

[Guitar Woman]

Well, I made it playable, for a while ;<

I'm actually kind of pissed that it let me play for about 6 hours before it decided it had to commit honorable seppuku, I had an alright character going.

[Girl Drink Drunk]

You'd probably save yourself (and us) a lot frustation and time if you just stopped playing it. I gave up on Oblivion and I feel great for it.

[Fat_Hippo]

No, GW can't move on, because is one of the few games he actually PAYED for!:x

And he'll be damned if he doesn't squeeze what he can out of it.

[Angryhydralisk]

I was about to enjoy some Diablo 2 but my computer fucking gave up on it, rather than myself.

I also gave up on Diddy Kong Racing because it was the most overrated game at the time.

[Guitar Woman]

so the first Elder Scrolls game runs at about 5 FPS max on my pc for some reason :<

[Guitar Woman]

Running 0.62 Output - opengl (have also used ddraw, but it dies if the screen gets pulled away -- failing of DirectDraw API from Microsoft) CPU - dynamic Cycles - 30,000 Frameskip - 0 Scaler - normal2x. These settings hover my CPU usage around 93% while running the game. The machine in question is a Pentium 4 3.06 GHz. I can't help but think that setting cycles to 150,000 (5X higher than my settings) would swamp any machine available... Motion and action are fluid, at least as fluid as any machine I actually ran the game on when it came out... This runs quite smoothly for me. The main things I've found for accelerating _all_ games under DOSbox, but especially 3D games, is to make sure you are NOT using "surface" as your output. Any of the other outputs (overlay, opengl, etc) will provide a factor of 2 speed increase. Similarly, since 0.62 has improved dynamic cpu support, that appears to grant another 2X speed increase. Very cool, guys!

Jesus fucking christ ;<

[layla17]

I gave up on GTA San Andreas at the abandoned airfield. I couldn't get past the flying mission.

[Fat_Hippo]

I gave up on GTA San Andreas at the abandoned airfield. I couldn't get past the flying mission.

Yep, flying can be pretty tough, but if you've still got your savegame, I've got a tip for you: instead of going cross country through all the trees, go around over the water, to and back, and you should still have enough time. Worked for me.

[Esuohlim]

The first time I played through San Andreas I spent literally hours trying to complete flying school. On my second play through I think I moved through flying school in less than half an hour. :\

[Fat_Hippo]

Ditto. It's like learning to ride a bike. Difficult to learn, but once you've got the hang of it, it's no problem.

[Mintrude]

Yep, flying can be pretty tough, but if you've still got your savegame, I've got a tip for you: instead of going cross country through all the trees, go around over the water, to and back, and you should still have enough time. Worked for me.

This man speaketh the truth.

[executioneer]

man i <3 the harrier in that game

[BongHitMan]

You have to ease into oblivion, like a nice new velvet sportcoat robe
Pick the thief class....robbing FTW lol!
^_6

[executioneer]

you have to ease into shutting up

[T-Rex]

I really liked playing Final Fantasy 7. I'm not too great at these games because I really like the story, but I hate turn based combat. So whenever I got into a fight with like a mushroom thing, or something I never HAD to battle, I just ran away. As a result, my characters never gained a lot of battle experience and when I came face to face with a really major boss I would get totally molested in like a minute. I can see how some peeps like the idea of upgrading of your characters abilities and stuff, but it's way too much management for me to do without getting bored fast. I liked watching the Final Fantasy 7 movie 'Advent Children' more than I did playing the game.

[Fat_Hippo]

I'm not too great at these games because I really like the story.

Sorry, but I don't see the logic here.

[T-Rex]

"I really like the story (COMMA) but..."

This -> "," is not the same as this -> "."

[Fat_Hippo]

A "(COMMA) but" are not the same as a "because", T-Rex.

[DeadKennedys]

I'm sure I haven't finished a lot just because I wasn't interested, but the only game I just fucking gave up on was Hugo's House of Horrors. If you've never played it, it's basically Resident Evil with the graphics of Oregon Trail. Your character is completely controlled by verbal commands, so if you're saying "lift vase" instead of "raise vase", congratulations, you'll never get the cork to plug the hole in your raft. Maybe a dog already ate you.

I think my dad and I were close to the end of the game (you can get there in 10 minutes but the game is SO GODDAMN HARD it felt epic), when we came to a mummy blocking a door. He asked "who is the author of Dracula?" My dad doesn't read fiction, and this was before Al Gore invented the internet. We had to go to the library and come back, then in the next room a dog ate us.

Fuck that game

[Zomboid]

You didn't know the author of Dracula? I loved the Hugo games. All three were great, but I remember fucking hating Hugo 3 when I was a kid.

[MarioRPG]

The first time I played through San Andreas I spent literally hours trying to complete flying school. On my second play through I think I moved through flying school in less than half an hour. :\

I agree fully. I think it was like, the bank left and land that I just couldn't do. For one I kept stalling and realized that my landing gear was down, I did that about 30 times.

[MLE]

I got stuck in the Witch Doctor's place in Hugo as a kid, and I never got out until I was like... 17 :<

[Zomboid]

Yeah, that's why I hated Hugo 3. I remember something involving the rat, but I also remember the witch doctor fucking bolting over and killing me if he saw me try to escape.

[Kilgore Cod]

I've beaten 10 too and even had the patience to play all that goddamn Blitzball in order to get all the ultimate weapons. It's the only real Final Fantasy game I've played.

Actually I did give up on Blitzball. Worst FF minigame ever. Wakka was left without his ultimate weapon. I mean, I even got that one weapon where you had to dodge 200 lightning strikes!

[Action Ham]

The Immortal.

Seriously. Fuck. That.

[Dr. Boogie]

Oh god, The fucking Immortal.


When I was a kid, I got ahold of the passwords for all the levels, and I got the point where I could beat them all, except that one puzzle where you had to drop the gems at 3 specific spots to open the way. Then years later, I looked it up online, and the answer still pissed me off.

[Action Ham]

You got past the room with all the worms?

/que the old "one guy starts to slowly clap, then speed up. And then everybody claps" bit from Lucas.

EDIT: Also, I think I gave up on a Duke Nukem game back when I was a bit younger, my balls aren't made of steel.

[MLE]

Zomboid: "the witch doctor fucking bolting over"

That description in and of itself explains that you not only played that game, but also hated it with all the passion that is called out of your soul when you feel so smart for the rest of the game, and you can't beat a fucking witch doctor, and this fucking rat is scurrying all over the place, mocking you >:

[Dr. Boogie]

You got past the room with all the worms?

Yeah, barely. I'd get about halfway through the room, only to have the stupid tuning fork break, leaving me high and dry in worm country. It got to the point where I had to memorize the first few steps through the room, and then use the fork when I couldn't remember any more.

[executioneer]

i beat that game :(

with a walkthrough, unfortunately :(

[BLEU]

Clock Tower, SNES.

I kept getting lost, and could never figure out the "cradel under the star" puzzle or whatever that crap was. I beat the PS1 game, though.

[Kilgore Cod]

I also had to give up on Lufia II for the SNES. Nay...I was forced to give it up. I got all the way to the last dungeon that had a puzzle where you have to cut down some grass before it grows again. It was much harder than it sounds. Since I was playng via an emulator at the time with a keyboard, it was practically impossible to input the commands fast enough before the plants started growing again.

I really liked that game too :(

[Pub Lover]

Run the game slower?

[Girl Drink Drunk]

Get a PC controller or a SNES gamepad adapter?

[Kilgore Cod]

Shit that was so long ago, maybe 7-8 years ago. If I still had the game I'd try again with an actual controller but I don't have the time to do that all over again.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

You have to use the fire arrows for that, One of my favorite games but I played through it long before the internet and I'm pretty sure no other console game had more aggravating puzzles.

Also, Out of This World for SNES. Just too fucking scary and everything kills you in one shot

Also, Out of This World for SNES.

Me too. Out of This World was an awesome, innovative game but I never got more than like 20 minuates into it. It was just more frustrating than fun for me.

That's one of those games I should probably revisit.

In Call Of Duty 4, the mission where you wear the camo suits, has anyone beat this level on the hardest difficulty setting? The part right at the end where you have to wait for the chopper to pick you up, I tried for about 2 hours and just gave up. It's the hardest thing ever.

Afte a long, long...long time, I beat it. Yeah, it's fucking hard. I hid behind the bumper car house for most of the time, occasionaly jumping up and shooting some people, and hiding when I took damage; still nearly died when I finally made it though. Throw some grenades and try to kill as many as you can before the helicopter comes, so you don't have to kill them later.

Thirded. My friend had it and I only got a bit into the second level.

I recently gave up on Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time because it's pretty boring.

Superstar Saga is better :(

I have both and I gave up on both of them. :(

It's the only non-earthbound RPG worth playing.
