Force Unleashed, the “drop a star destroyer with force” part. It is frustrating to control, there are whole bunch of guides solely for that part, because of how frustrating it is. The worst part, it’s pretty close to the end, so you are this close to finishing, but nope.
Darktide and Mechwarrior 5 because of size bloat. They started out at around 60Gb, and now they’re over 90. I have a laptop. I can’t just upgrade disk space. Please stop bloating the bloody games. Same with several other games that have been large from day one. Bummer, really.
Kaizo Mario world, level 1, I couldn’t even avoid not jumping on the spinies.
And whatever that japanese cat game was, first boss fight.Realizing that enemies in Pillars of Eternity have level scaling.
It’s always at a point where the game suddenly requires a skill that isn’t part of its usual gameplay. I played a crafting and exploration game that suddenly has a huge platforming element in the late game in a dungeon, and it was even timed! The rest of the game involved no platforming, and it wasn’t even particularly difficult to do but I suck at platforming, never enjoyed it, and I especially did not need the stress of a timer in an otherwise relaxing game.
Another story rich game which was heavy on logistics suddenly turned into a shooter. No, thank you.
Another thing I hate is when I turn the difficulty down and the only option is to do it across the board so I may as well stop interacting with the game. I know I’m bad at fast-paced precision inputs. That doesn’t mean I don’t want cool puzzles to solve or complex systems.
I know, I know: “get good.” I’m old. Shooting and platforming are not the skills I care to be developing at this stage of my life.
This.
Just getting bored of it. Or a mission I couldn’t pass. But I don’t remember the games. I was a child.
RDR2: Last mission of the game. Crashed two-thirds through it. Gave up. Fuck that, I’m not redoing that shit.
Sleeping Dogs: After gaining freeroam and a couple main missions (the first stealth one where you’re planting that listening device in a restaurant), got bored of the game. Feels like A worse GTA IV and Yakuza game. IDK I just didn’t vibe with it.
Psychonauts 1: Last level (Circus). If you know, you know. It’s awful.
Spyro: Reignited Trilogy: 100%ed 1 and 2. Gave up on 3 because it got boring and I hated the skateboarding levels.
It seems the trend is when games get boring/repetitive, or some bullshit mechanic/mission/event is involved.
Makes me sad to hear this about Sleeping Dogs, because I absolutely loved it. Sometimes I would launch it just for a quick fight club bit because of how much I enjoyed the hand-to-hand fighting mechanics
Death Standing. Beat sound in it for a bit… The crying baby noise…
Fallout 4 - when I kept getting the notifications about my settlements getting attacked. I tried setting them up with rocket launcher turrets to protect them but that was just annoying.
The main storyline wasn’t interesting enough to make me want to play it with the stupid grind of base building.
I’m not a very active gamer, and Fallout 4 was the only one I ever played. I got to the end basically, but no faction really seemed like a good choice so I took a break before starting down the final path with anyone. Years later, still haven’t ever gotten around to it.
Love the whole Fallout universe lore though, and I probably watched more hours of gameplay and lore videos on all the games than I spent playing FO4. I at least got that out of giving it a go.
I have been playing Fallout since the first game barely worked on my parents computer.
The universe is amazing and I would go room by room, reading everything off of terminals and finding all the backstories.
It killed me that I didn’t want to go back and play Fallout 4 because I want the story but the game was just too annoying.
Absolutely loved Dark Souls until I needed to get the lord soul from the catacombs. I dunno why but the catacombs pissed me off and I quit. Just so dark. Maybe I’ll try again.
Take a divine weapon in and rush the lantern holders. Divine weapons make them stop reviving.
They mentioned the Lord Soul, which means they’re talking about the Tomb of Giants area below the Catacombs.
Which is pitch black, made up of narrow cliffs with deadly drops (that you can’t even see until you’re a few feet away), is filled with giant skeletons that hit hard and aren’t fun to fight, and even with a light source visibility is so poor that you only get a second’s warning before a group of giants kicks your shit in. It’s only not the worst area because Lost Izalith exists - both areas suck but the boss of the Tomb of Giants is at least decent; meanwhile Lost Izalith’s Bed of Chaos is possibly the worst designed boss fight in the entire Souls franchise.
The entire endgame of Dark Souls post-Anor Londo is infamously rushed and uneven. The Duke’s Archives is the only section that comes close to the quality of what came before.
Satisfactory and copper powder. Fuck copper powder
I grew up on Diablo 1 & 2. I could co-op with friends, the grind wasn’t too bad, and the RNG table for loot was acceptable. Then Diablo 3 launched with a real money auction house, it made me realize that GAMETIME = MONEY and it just zapped all of the fun.
Haha i remember the real money auction house. God what a blunder that was. But glad it’s no longer a thing. Didn’t last very long
LoZ wind waker: the slow af nutshell
Any time it feels like the physical action required to play the starts to feel like a chore just to interact with the game as designed. Like hold buttons to interact with common features or complex submenus where you need to navigate a 3+ button combo where you hold the first then the second then press the third to perform a common action.
THIS. OMG. Pressing down the left stick to sprint is fucking awful. Worst feeling button.
the part where it’s made by AAA studios
There was this game called green farm 3 which I kept restarting every now and then. I thought I could manage to progress without/sparingly using diamonds, but the progress just stops at a point. I always left it when you had to unlock the third plot of land.
