Have you ever revisited a game you played a long time ago, and you get to THAT part?

Metroid Fusion, I thought defeating Yakuza was so hard until I came back to it again and finding out it's a cakewalk (from a guide of course)

And then there's Nightmare like…annoying af. I don't even know how many times I died and then quit, only to come back later, then the cycle repeats

It really live up to it's name

Thanks
Your video inadvertently led me to a video on programming NES games ?

The turrent section in Dead Space. I recently replayed it using a controller emulating the Xbox 360 version and I thought I would have the worst time of my life but I surprisingly thought it wasnt that bad. Maybe i'm too experienced in this part. Still, I dread this part every time I replay this game.

That's crazy, maybe it's a sign?

When i experienced stuff like this, initially it would put me off as a child, but i learnt that perseverance was key, and eventually i learnt how to over come the challenge.

This may be a hot take, but i feel this is grate game design, and provides a massive validation boost in terms of the feeling of achievement. This is why games like the souls series is so lorded today, you feel the progression. These ideas can be taken out in to the real work in terms of the grind in general, we may not achieve all we want that minute, that day, but we can build to it and eventually we will defeat that boss that is in front of us, we just have to keep at it!

Now a days "that part" is a pressure put on you by developers to squeeze more money out of you, and is often all over mobile games, becoming a time sync that offers you nothing but the feeling of negativity after being taken advantage of. IMHO.

That's a great way to describe it man! And yeah I still love these kinds of games since it offers a real challenge, it's just incredible how much those developers can do back in the day

And I agree with the last one, transactions are just balls, especially for those games that are, secretly (or not) pay to win. Now they're trying to plague the consoles games

Basically every Wily Castle tbh - these days when replaying classic blue bomber games I just work through the robot masters and call it a day.

The original Saints Row. The final mission against Los Carnales.
It's so bad, I literally repressed it. But when I got to that mission again, suddenly the memories came rushing back.

You have to shoot down a plane, while an idiot drives the car AWAY from the plane.
And when you retry the mission, you have to drive back to the airport. Every... single... time!

Unless you cheese it by getting a couple of direct hits with a rocket launcher right at the beginning (not an feat), it's practically impossible.

That's hilarious ?

How?

Big android screenshot to the rescue ?

And answering to the question. One moment was when I finished Silent Hill 1 with the good ending and this theme started sounding in the credits

That's when I thought something like wow what a great adventure I just had.

Shadows of the Damned
Act 4-1 "The Big Boner"

It's a Tower Defense level and I. Can't. Stand. Tower Defense.
I don't find tower defense fun, all it does is stress me out.

 

[kokonatsu17234]

It's not really hard or anything but it is a pain in the ass of a quest
which I honestly don't want to even consider as one
It's. Just. So. SLOW....

 

[YuriSukiSan]

YES, YES I AM! I keep running away from Alien: Isolation, I'm on mission 10, and the worst part is that's not even the worst mission. It gets way worse later on! I keep getting freaked out constantly so I haven't passed it yet. I know it sounds so silly but you try this game with a decent pair of headphones while using a keyboard and mouse, in a dark room before you judge!

Undertale Undyne and Sans fight on genocide. Took me about 30 tries and most of my items to beat undyne that i had to start from scratch to keep my best items...but beat her with 1 snowball and no continues. As for the latter....3 months and 100s of attempts and NEVER AGAIN. I broke my controller against him.

As for the opposite. Startropics 1 and 2 for the nes. I was good at the game where i didn't even die once....20 years later....I sucked so bad. Been playing too many modern games, i really should be keeping up on the retros too.

i think the only times i've encountered a part of a game that i don't like has been 3 times. and they are all at the beginning of the game. harvest moon: a wonderful life and kotor 1 and 2.
hm:awl - i've never beaten this game. i cleared the first chapter objective, and i pretty much immediately lost interest.
kotor 1 and 2, i played and beat. i don't like the sewer section in kotor 1. sewer sections suck in every game expect the paper mario games. they are short; relatively speaking. i didn't like the asteroid mining facility either in kotor 2. both games are super awesome after those parts though.

Valid, honestly

 

[TheWanderer]

Yeah but I always beat THAT part very effortlessly ,I remember them as too hard too complicated but when I play them again ,I go like "Huh ,was that it ?"

When I first played Metal Gear Solid 3, I was in a very bad state mentally and when I saw the flying soldiers I had to quit the game. They were too much to handle.
Years later I replay the game, dreading the flying soldiers part. I just sneaked past them and never saw another one ever again.

i played mgs3 and i don't remember that at all.

This happens to me everytime I get to the final boss in Yoshi's Island. But in the end, it's not that hard. But damn, those red coins...
