I never beat DMC4 past that three headed dog. I think it was the first boss, just gave up. Also never beat Final Fantasy VII, got to the part were you pretend to be a soldier. Since I knew about "the spoiler of spoilers" I never gave it a shot. Maybe I will someday.
Same.
But that was because I also had FFXII at the time. Gonna play through the Wii version though.

which i think is very near the end, and I haven't picked it up since. I think there's only a level or 2 left for me to do. I need to get my ass in gear and finish that shit.
the worms are easy, you just need to figure out their pattern and know when to jump, if I remember correctly.
ryu turns purple and is sick or something

I usually just equip the giant axe and stay at the edge of the ground at either side while charging up. Release as soon as the worms charge you. Sometimes you get hit, sometimes not....but easy.

Only way I could beat Ninja Gaiden is by killing thousands of bats.

Oh yeah, and I've never gotten past the 'first' boss in Dead Rising in the foodcourt. I ran out of ammo despite getting at least a dozen head shots, and nothing reaches the platform he runs around on above you, so I wasted hours just getting sniped by machine gun fire and knocked over by grenades (replenishing my health with all of the food items) before I just turned the game off and made it into a coaster.

Its been a while since I've played it but from what I can remember:
Watch them closely, they'll telegraph what they're about to do pretty clearly. They'll either spit balls of lightning at you (keep rolling left and right to dodge) or one will come crashing down at you. When one comes crashing down, wait till the last moment and do a roll to pass right through its attack (you get invincibility during a roll). Try and roll in a direction that leaves you right next to it after its attack, then beat on it with your best combos.The tricky part is that if you dont hit it quick enough after your roll it'll retract, but once you get the first hit in it'll get stunned. Its all timing really, nothing fancy required.

I think I made it through about 80% of the game but kept dieing, so I went and bought Ninja Gaiden Black, because I'm a genius.

I have a love/hate relationship with games.
Earthbound made me quit console gaming. I bought a SNES just to play it because the commericals made it look like the player would have a lot of freedom. It turned out to be a route exercise in hard determinism so I sold the game and the console.
I sat out the N64/PS1 gen because the graphics were atrocious.
My brother tried to get me back into console gaming by buying me a PS2 for my birthday along with Metal Gear Solid 2 and Okage. They sat in my closet unopened for almost two years.
I finally bought a GameCube in 2003 after reading an article about how obsessed the students at DigiPen were with Animal Crossing because of the degree of freedom it gave the player. It turned out to be a fetch-quest heavy interior decorating sim, and I was ready to sell the GameCube when one fateful night shortly before Xmas I decided to buy P.N.03. Then came REmake and Devil May Cry and Onimusha 2. The love returned.
Funny how a sexed up 3D Berzerk could change everything. Actually I think more than anything Capcom finally found the plot again after spending most of the 90s milking Street Fighter. Capcom's always been the one company I have a diehard love for.

You are completely forgiven for doing this, as it's totally a correct way to play Morrowind, imho.
To contribute: I never beat Ninja Gaiden either. I own Sigma but haven't even put it into my PS3 yet. I have full intentions of beating it before NG2 comes out, as I love the series.
Even though I have multiple systems, read reviews, import, advocate obscure titles, etc... at the end of the day I mostly play College Hoops 2K_. I have played some iteration of College Hoops 2K at least 300+ hours over the last four years.
I get excited about countless new games; and 90% of the time I buy the game, get sick of it, and sell it on Ebay within two weeks.

I bought the game 3 times over a period of 3 years. First time I got stuck when you have to fight the stupid ass eyeball fiend right after the 2 red dragon things. Then it was the giant dragon skeleton. I finally beat the game the third time around, though alma took me around 3 days to beat. I'm glad I stuck with it.

It should be dirt cheap. The one thing I'd say is that it's not designed to be played like a standard 3D action game. When you turn your character, there's a lot of inertia. That forces you to rely on your character's jumping mechanics to navigate through traffic. You know how Mikami is; he loves unorthodox control schemes that limit the player's movement and forces them to try a new approach.
If you're okay with that and you like arcade shooters, I think it's worth a look.
ooo confessions. Well, I never actually beat ANY game until I made myself play/beat Halo3 on my roomate's 360 because of all the hype about the series from everyone. Idk I just always enjoyed the multiplayer aspects and never wanted to sit down by myself and try to win. Of course that view has completely changed since the excitement of beating Halo, but I still require any game I purchase for now on to have multiplayer too.

I haven't finished the Orange Box yet. Finished Portal and HL2, but am currently about half-way through Ep1. I'm sloooooowly working my way through it, and I really like it but I'm just really addicted to Halo 3/COD4 online.

The worm bosses are easy if you know where in the room to stand. After that, only one of their attacks actually has a chance to hit you. If you're in the area with one worm, then the place you want to stand is to the left, against the wall, at the edge of the platform. If it's the area with the two worms then stand to the right, against the wall and at the edge of the platform. The worm's lunge attack will miss you and its water electricity thing has no effect. The only way it can hit you is with the electrical bolt that it throws at you but that's easy enough to roll away from.

I've only played those parts of mgs1 which are covered in both metal gear awesome videos. I lost interest after that because I died a couple of times and didn't have all the equipment.
I played about 3 hours of Twilight Princess and stopped playing it...months pass and I restart my save only to stop at the ~4 1/2 hr mark and vow never to play it again. I doubt I'll ever appreciate a mainline Zelda again unless some changes are made. One of my top 5 favorite console series as a kid, too
I had a love/hate relationship with the death penalty in FFXI (It's aggravating but makes advancement more of an accomplishment). Guess I'm a Masochist.
Final Fantasy IX was the first Japanese RPG I've ever completed.
I loved Sunshine and Luigi's Mansion and honestly do not understand the hate.

I never beat Ninja Gaiden either, although I love it.
Just before the end I put the game down for a few months. When I picked it up again I was at the bit where you re-fight all the bosses. Normally, fighting bosses is OK because I just try again and again until I figure out the trick or pattern. But I'd forgotten the bosses so I'd fight through a couple and die while trying to figure out the trick on a particular one. It took way too much time so I never finished it

I never beat Ikaruga.....,I suck so much...
Strangely enough, I finished Ninja Gaiden without much difficulty. The boss battles were always the hardest parts of the game, but they all had a certain weakness which became apparent after a couple of (sometimes many) tries.
I remember beating it and The Chronicles of Riddick back-to-back during the holidays. One of my best gaming sessions ever...
