I've been tinkering with my new Mister for 2 weeks and left The Rise of the Tomb Raider getting some dust. I think if I don't get back to her soon I'll end leaving for good

 

[bazamuffin]

Ghosts and Goblins.

¿the game of life? man, it seems be a big series of bosses scripted to be unbeatable and then a little minigame what appears to be good and happy, but keeps finishing without your interaction and get interrupted by a new boss who no body has beaten until now, so. no more!.

I almost gave up on dkc tropical freeze my first time going through it. I got stuck on a rocket barrel stage (the one in world 5), but I came back to it months later and finally beat it. now, I can kick that game's ass! I don't necessarily give up on games, but rather keep trying and cursing, or take an extended break from it.

Super Robot Wars A Portable. I've made a couple of attempts but can't get past the last stage. Probably if I tried about 30 times I'd make it, but it's not worth throwing away my precious free time for this:

Gave up on Immortals Fenyx Rising at the title screen as I didn't want to make an Ubisoft account for a singleplayer Xbox game.

For me mostly the retro jrpg's I'm playing when something new comes out. I think the last one I gave up on was xenogears and FF IX because that was the time when elden ring came out.

Tunic. Despite it's Zelda aesthetic, it's very much a Souls-like game, which brings with it insane difficulty. Way beyond my capabilities, which is fine, I'm not one of those "reee it needs and easy mode" kinds. But without the unlimited Health and Stamina options enabled, I simply don't have a chance in it. "Git Gud" is not something I'm particularly gud at doing with Tunic for some reason.

I COULD just play through it with the glorified cheat codes on, but I don't really want to. It's fine, I'll admire it from a distance. The graphics and soundtrack are beautiful tho.

Uh....is it really that hard? I don't see them making a game "souls-difficult" with such a cute aesthetic.

Yeah it can get pretty intense. And the enemies deal a LOT of damage when you get hit. The way they sick so many of the OP enemies at you can be frustrating as well.

Like Souls games it is extremely dependent on perfect dodging to survive, which I cant seem to nail.

The first boss is pretty ridiculous as well.

Then there is the fact that most of the text is written in a fictional language, and every thing is very vague about what you are supposed to do, and you literally have to read the instruction manual to figure anything out. And even then, unless you look up the translation to the fiction language that someone somehow managed to figure out, you're gonna be lost like 75% of the time.

Put about 100 hours into Mary Skelter and then my memory card corrupted. I don't feel like putting another 100 hours just ot get to the point I was at.

Don't worry I've already beaten it already a few times. Lol!

Most games I've played honestly.

 

[Marc_LFD]

Toy Story 2 (PS1)

Loved it during my younger years, but now I feel the camera controls are fighting against me.

 

[Marc_LFD]

GTA IV. Another slow and apparently long game.

Not long enough for me. I finished it multiple times.

The driving and shooting feels so much fun, and somehow Rockstar downgraded/dumbed it down for GTA V.

i tried to play resonance fate but i found it to be confusing so i stopped playing it

Do you know what part you stopped at?

Once you unlock enough crystals that most of the battles are spend doing the running/jumping/flashy moves seen in all the trailers then it starts to really snowball. Plenty over the years though have stopped before they got to that point which is a bit of a shame as it is a really good game with a very interesting world.
