Current Events > Hard games just piss me off these days.

(+) Yeah! (+)

As if I didn't have thousands of hours in the backlog and like one hour a day to play, no no, your dumb little cutesy trophy for beating all the staff ghosts has to exist.

FFS nobody wants to try (literally) hundreds of times at one dang challenge, are you kidding me

you don't have to get all the trophies

i racked up 113 losses in a row trying greed and hard mode with the lost (one hit death) on binding of isaac

---

what about hard gamers

I don't like them because all the hard games are still really long. Back on NintendoHard days, the games were hard, but they were also short enough to practice over and over again

My best guess for the number of tries it took me to defeat the final level and boss of Shinobi PS2 is around 600. And that was on Normal.

I only play games to beat them these days by and large.

I enjoy hard games cause easy games are usually boring. Im going to start Wizardry 3 soon actually. In fact I think most games are too easy nowadays.

Eh, it's not really something I can quantify easily since it depends on a lot of factors, but to put the vaguest of ballparks on it, I'll say a hard game is one where you make no progress for, I dunno, an hour on account of repeated failures.

Of course, in some games an hour can amount to as little as one or two failures, while in others, it can be like a thousand so *shrugs*.

This is why most games are made to easy for the gamer that gets triggered by challenges

Games really need to respect the intelligence of the player. Some games are insultingly easy nowadays.

I'm old and complacent and I want to play something I can reasonably beat without dying constantly. I've become lazy.

Try Furi and Enter the Gungeon.

What games come to mind?

I know some games are designed for trial and error.

I don't mind it if I can figure it out. I dislike "artificial" difficulty. Bullet sponges, bad hit boxes, stuff you can't do anything about etc.

No but if you want some examples, Driver 1-3, F-Zero GX, Shinobi PS2, Devil May Cry 1 and Lego Racers are some that fit the bill, that I played in former years when hard was fun lol.

You know, Lego Racers may have just felt hard because I was a little kid lol.

I guess somewhat more recently, the last 10% or so of Mega Man 10 challenges have been pretty brutal, and the time trials in Mirror's Edge are pretty irritating.
