Started playing The Witcher 3 over the weekend. Thinking I was a boss I started on this highest difficulty. Was doing alright until the first fight with the griffin and after a couple of hours of dying in 2 or 3 hits and doing virtually no damage to him, I had to swallow my pride and knock it down two difficulty levels.

Still no idea what I'm doing in this game though. I feel like I should be grinding as the lowest level quest I have is level 7 and I'm only level 3.

I've realised there's always one mission in a Grand Theft Auto game which is just insanely difficult, the controls never help either. I've never actually finished one because of that.

Sniper mission in GTA III where you need to defend a guy on a ship? I could never beat that.

The Longest Journey.

When after some hours into the game I found out that I had to open the window in my room to get a seagull make a rubber ducky fall into the river behind my house, so I could use that rubber ducky on an electrified trainrail in a subway station. The room is the very first screen of the game. How the fuck does the game expect me to know that I have to go back there, open that window and have a seagull make a rubber ducky fall into a river so it floats somewhere to fish it out and use my wits to use it on a fucking train track? That puzzle was so retarded I quit the game and never touched it again.

Agreed but I must tell that you missed a lot.I mean you just skipped this phenomenal game for one dumb puzzle.

Staring at the stage selection in smash 4, settling on making some stage flat because the hazards were too much or the stage moved too fast to enjoy it and then realizing I had forgotten to change time to stock so I had to exit the match to change the settings

I realized I was not the target audience for this smash game, and I think I've played it maybe once since then. The gameplay isn't TERRIBLE it's the stages that mainly bum me out. All my favorites are on the 3DS version that I like less overall, and hazards like flying man that I can't turn off kill them for me.

Valkyrie Profile: Sylmeria
- The Final boss. Used an Action Replay

I was only able to beat him once. Any subsequent attempts I died. At least I could see the end of the game.

Still my favorite JRPG ever.

Destiny+ttk+sleeper stimulant fiasco.

I played destiny from beta, were in cool finnish clan and played daily.

Nearly 1000h.

Good group kept us going, we did all raids and other weekly stuff like absolute bossess.

Then i got a bit bored before TTK dlc, destiny just does not have much of deepness, really repetitive game so good group wont make it last forever.

TTK came and I jumped back in, then read rumors about sleeper stimulant (new heavy weapon that would be really hard to get).

I didnt look it too much myself, but I did read about all crazy theories how to get it "while singing some mozard sinfonly while dancing naked in the moonlight"-level ideas were common and so many guys tried to find it daily.

Bungie gave hints like it will be hard to find and need to be clever, basicly made it sound like national treasure movie level difficulty with epic reward on the end.

And then it were just like this:

"hey lets press release button and players can get this stupidly easy mission from npc to get that gun" -bungie

Fuck that shit.

Even if I didnt spend 100h to find it, many strangers did and bungie-we-are-assholes didnt do anything but made them look for nothing.

Best choice ever, time to play other games and not this medicore shit that only good group can make worth while.

I picked up The Crew recently on xbox when it was suddenly priced at $20 for the complete edition.

It's an okay game, kind of toes the line between being too sim to be arcadey, and too arcadey to be sim. Couldn't figure out if I should have been drifting around every corner, or slowing down to take the proper line, but still kind of fun to have an entire US to drive around.

Then I got to a story race with 7 other Porsche 918s - it was relatively long for the game, 4 or 5 minutes. Didn't matter how well I did, the rubber banding AI made sure I lost at the last second, no matter what. After five tries I uninstalled the game. Felt pretty good.

The game also has a mechanic where you upgrade your car piece by piece, increasing its rating. I stumbled into a race where my car was ~160ish, my competition was all in the 80-90 range. Multiple times in the race I was using boost and losing ground to my competition. Nothing makes sense in the game.

That's easy...

When I finished Ghost n Goblins for the first time (one of the hardest games I have ever finished) and while expecting to watch the ending, the game placed me again in the beginning and I had to replay the game again to see the true ending…

I still remember the “a trap devised by Satan” message…

Shao Kahn in MK9. Maybe once in twenty times I'd beat him in MK2 or 3 but MK9 is full of so much bullshit with his health I get mad even thinking about it.

Haven't beat him, don't plan to either. Fuck you game, I didn't like your shitty combo system anyways.

Just do what I did and dial the difficulty back. I went through the exact same thing. I just wanted closure.

Currently playing Ys II - fuck Solomon shrine. Fuck the convoluted layout. Fuck the identical looking EVERYTHING. Fuck the back and forth and back and forth fetch quests in that segment. I love Ys. But I'm never going to play through Ys II again after I beat it.

EDIT: Beat the game. Fuck Solomon shrine.

KOTOR 1, especially. 2 was pretty stable up until the recent patch, and then the crashes were predictable and manageable. KOTOR 1 would just crash at the drop of a hat, for any reason or none at all.

Apparently quoted something half a decade old. Still valid, though.

Definitely still valid. Finally beat it last year by hitting the quicksave button every 30 seconds.
