Just today, Jedi Outcast beat me up, took my lunch money, and pantsed me in front of everyone. I am now ready to nuke Nar Shadaa from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.
Ah but there is a key difference here. The games you listed are games that require reflexes and control, LEGO Batman is an old-skool type of hard, it's the one that requires you to think. Not that there's anything wrong with not being able to manage "thinking games", I hate them too, I don't think I got through a single moment of Monkey Island without a walkthrough.Sniper Team 4 said:
The people who are good at that sort of game are often kids who are not swimming in video games like the rest of us and thus have both patience and motivation to get through, or older players who are hardened veterans from their childhood days.
I have a friend who is exceptional at that kind of gaming, and he's been playing games for as long as I can remember. I remember when we were kids and I had trouble with some game on my N64 and he came over. He used to say "oh it's easy, have you tried doing that?" and I would say "are you kidding, that's crazy, no way the game is that complex", after a few minutes of bickering he'd basically force me to try his idea and in 90% of the cases he's be right ^^
Can anyone explain to me the appeal of "Lego whatever" games? I mean, I loved Lego when I was a kid, I played with it all the time, but taking an awesome universe like Star Wars or Gotham City and dumbing it down to little blocks and plastic figurines I just can't understand. It's for kids, yeah, but somehow I feel it's not just kids that play those.
If you take the time to make a game about Batman, why not use this time to make it awesome, as the source material is?
Anyways, hard games, right. Well, if a game is just too damn hard I skip it (is there any other option?). That rarely happens though, not because I'm uber-leet, but because most of the games these days come with an adjustable difficulty setting, which I'm not ashamed to use if necessary.
And fighting games? I love them, but only against a human player. What fun is it to play against an opponent you know blocks your blows not because he sees them and reacts to them, but because you yourself pressing the strike button send the signal and tell the goddamn machine to block. It's like a training dummy that's wired to your brain and whacks you on the head when you just THINK about hitting it.

Final Fantasy I - I kept forgetting or not knowing where to go next.

I love games that stump me like this. Although when I just fail at jumping over something simple and I think I can't, that sucks. Like in Virtua Quest I didn't know that I could jump over the fence and go through the back. I even tried a couple times but it didn't work. So I was wondering around the level for quite some time.
I am awful at Point and Click.
I beat The Dig (great game) this week, but I have been working on that for like 20hours :/

Seriously, Hercules on PS1 was awesomely fun but awesomely hard XD
Pokemon Ruby. I just beat the second gym leader, travelled to the route with the cycling road and I was stumped. I was supposed to get to the city with the 3rd gym leader but I didn't have a clue to how to get there. I wondered around, overleveled my pokemon team. Got bored, started a new game and got stuck at the same route again.
I was stuck at this point for literally a week. Then I was just running around aimlessly and then I found out you were able to go under the cycling road bridge. That may not seem like a big deal to you but in the previous pokemon games, you couldn't go under buildings and stuff so I had no idea. I got owned by a freaking bridge. A FREAKING BRIDGE. Not even Norman or Steven were as much as a pain as that bloody freaking bridge.

God of War: Chains of Olympus. I kinda missed this whole in the wall because of the camera angle and was stuck for about a week before looking it up. I felt ashamed. It was in the sun temple.
The one from LucasArts where you played as Herc, Jason (Shepherd with sling) or BLonde with bow?reg42 said:
