But I know cos I had the same problem. I had to not punch the TFT screen but it was a close fight

That made me quit playing the game. I hated the flying part. My friend beat it, but it took him forever. I just didn't want to bother with the effort.

ahhh your poor guys.

Well I'll confess I played it on a PC with the classic keyboard and mouse combination maybe you had a tougher time on a playstation?
Trying to make the car dance was pretty tricky as the keyboard config on a PC doesn't have all the keys!

Still did it, eventually!

Not skill as such more persistence and then LUCK

And that is a pain on the ego, I'll tell you that.

Oh god yes, a quality game Spoiler: EXCEPT FOR FUCKING ARES AND HIS FUCKING UNBLOCKABLE OUT OF NOWHERE KNOCKOUT ATTACK I had him down to a smidgeon of life left, but guess how he came back to kill me off

, I honestly never felt better about beating a boss ever.

Oh, unlucky

Took me and my mate the better part of an afternoon to do it, but we beat the final sections on Normal :P

A damn cool finish, though.

The first Shinobi in the arcarde years back. I never was able to beat that last boss. My and a buddy went throuh 2 rolls of quarters on tht game. Never did beat it.

Getting all of the gaps on Tony Hawk 2. Eventually did, and I've never felt more accomplised with a game.

Midnight club 2, bar none. the last race in Paris made me fuckin snap...after at least ten tries, i was in first and closing in on the goal and BAM, i couldn't get my car on two wheels in time to make it through a gap. Needless to say, i crashed and lost the race. I through down my controller, turned off the ps2 and never played that game again after that, its just not worth the stress.

Super Mario RPG for SNES caused a few controller-smashing episodes back when i was a kid, but i don't remember any specifics.

btw, the website www.stuckgamer.com has helped me through some stressful times. This guy made all these "walk through" videos with narration to help you out in games like GTA and such. Worth a look

Metroid Prime had me cursing, but nothing compared to MP2. The Dark Sentinel bot is hard enough at first, but once you have to ballroll up its detached legs and land and stick to its flying fucking head -- well, that was where I stopped playing that game. Which is a shame, because it was a great game.

hulk · 09-29-2005, 06:36 AM

Wasn't that hard

Tricky, sure, but it's one of the few sequels that's actually harder than the predecessor, which I liked. Means there was fresh challenge instead of the large rehash it would've been otherwise. Keep at it, dude! The ending rocks.

One of the hardest gaming moments for me is in the first Prince of Persia when you are on the god damn elevator and just getting your ass handed to you. I finally survived and the dumb princess got killed. I was so freakin' mad, I busted my controller lol
