Poll: What do you do when you've been killed for the 10th time in the same place?

[Lukeje]

If a game's kept me interested enough to play through the first ten deaths, then it's a good bet that it can keep me interested till I beat that section.

 

[NicolasMarinus]

I like games for their story and exploration the first time I play through them and for perfecting the course of the levels for the replays.

I am not a gamer who's in it for the stubborn hardcore challenge. If I can't beat it, it's no fun and that's the point I usually abandon it.

What about you?

If you were a Disease or a Virus, you would be an evolutionary dead end.

Not really. Games are not my reason of existence. Games for me are not a real life challenge, but a fun pass time.

 

[NicolasMarinus]

Alright, it is safe to say most Escapees persevere when they run into trouble (75%). I obviously belong to a minority who just want games to be fun.

16% of you are hardcore grinders. Rock on!

 

[AWAR]

NEVER give up

 

[Joachim Aachen]

It depends. Once I hit about the death number seven mark, I start to get angry.

Death thirteen makes me livid.

Around death fifteen I actually get a little calmer.

Anything above death twenty involves me handing the controller to a different person, turning the difficulty down, looking up cheats, etcetera.

 

[Velocity Eleven]

I grind (if the game allows me to) otherwise I just give up

 

[chronobreak]

Yeah, if I died ten times in a row, it's probably time to go outside. When anybody gets to that point, I'm willing to bet it isn't the fault of the game in most cases, but is usually a result of playing too long.

That remark was more aimed at the fact that you aren't willing to try your utmost to overcome a difficulty than the topic of videogames in general. I suppose I could have clarified that a bit.

 

[Spudgun Man]

I usually go all Vegeta on it and explode in rage,before gettin on with it once again.

 

[AndyFromMonday]

Probably go into a rage and kill every single moving thing on the map, only to realize what I've done once I've been killed.
