Any videogames giving you trouble?

Ever come across a game that's just difficult, either by design or just by some fluke? Maybe it's a game that seems made to stop you in particular, or one that's just too hard for its own good. I've had a few in my time, including Battle Toads, which I've never beaten, and more recently Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, which I'm just completley lost in.

The big one though, is Steel Battalion. I got it for my birthday last October, and granted, I haven't had all that much time to put into it, but crap man, it's rough. I'm on Rookie, the easiest setting, and just this weekend I beat level 4.

When you play it, you've really got to commit some time, which is why I don't get to play too often. Once you start a mission, you can't pause, you're on a time limit (thanks to fuel if not the clock), and you've got to manage your VT on the 2 flight-stick, 40 button, 3 pedal controler, including the manual transmission, windshield wiper, and in-cockpit fire extinguisher, all while you're being shot at.

If your VT gets destroyed and you don't hit the eject button in time, you die, and your game is erased. You have to start from the beginning. If you do eject you have to use supply points won from completing missions to buy another VT, and if you don't have enough your pilot is let go and your game erased.

I had to stop and celebrate after beating level 4, which involves getting past enemy forces at a dock and sinking a battleship with fully functional weaponry that it doesn't mind using on you.

Welcome to the boards.

I love Half-Price Books. I always check there first before going to Borders or Barnes and Noble.

I get stuck on those games that require amazing precision all the time. I hate it when it's a "kiddie game" and I still can't get some stupid little move to beat it.

devil may cry 3

Beyond hard...

Was it a pug? I wouldn't mind being a pug.

I hate games that use total obstruction of your view, bad cameras or near-total darkness for "mood." Unless that mood is furious anger.

And I thought of another pet peeve. Games that have pathetic enemies that you can just mow through like so much grass, and then a boss that wipes the floor with you and your pathetic skills. I found that to be the case with Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords. It was reasonably even as Light Side until I hit the end boss, which cannot be beaten with the equipment and skills that made quick work of everything else in the game.

some Residnet Evil game I have on the PS2. I don't
even know the whole title of the game because it
sucked! I got stucked in the very beginning of the
game! You have to walk around in the dark (pitch
black screen) and try and find the lighter to see. I
COULDN'T FIND THAT DAMN LIGHTER so I've never
played it again. erg.

Some really hard missions on Vice City.

I got stuck on Close Combat First To FIght United States Marines. That was one hard game. I cant seem to get the Los Desperados Mission done in GTA Sanandreas for Xbox. I forget how to recuit people to help Cesar.

heres the picture of the drag race the truck went about 250 miles an hour in 1/8 of a mile and melted the flag behind it and started bending trees that were about 200 feet behind it and it moved the metal stand thats holding a black red and yellow flag on it ( the melted flag is on the other half) about 20 feet backwards http://putfile.com/pic.php?pic=8/24010315812.jpg&s=x7

Echo the freaking dolphen...

I've beaten any other game i've come across...

But Echo.... Echo.... It haunts me.

Yeah, games aren't so fun unless you get to kill sumthin...
