Have You Hit a Gaming Wall?

**GobboFett** · February 7th, 2007, 01:41

I'd have to say the first gaming wall was in Alex Kidd In Miracle World. How freaking hard was that game?! It was hard enough getting up to Janking's henchmen and beating them trying to beat Janking himself was a nightmare. Even if you get the item to read his mind, he changes from rock to paper to scissors so damn quickly it would make your eyes bleed

I NEVER finished Alex Kidd even to this day. I still have nightmares where I'm playing Janken to with my life on the line

My first and probably worse gaming wall had to be the final battle with Ripto in Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage for the PSX.

I could get past the first two of three battle sequences just fine, but when it came down to the final leg, a dog fight in the air, I always lost. I rented that game at least enough times to buy it at full price 3 times probably, over a 6 month span, after I got my PSX for Christmas in 1998.

It became so bad that, my family developed a keyword system in which all I had to say was one word, when I was called to Dinner or chores etc while I was playing videogames, I was then given exception to stay and play for a few extra minutes without having to jump up and run, when I was in the high stress, tense gameplay mode, like when trying to beat Ripto in the final battle. The keyword was "Ripto". That lasted a few years after that era.

Although, I did finally beat Ripto, and what a joyous day it was. My entire family rejoiced. They were just glad it was all over. lol. I was 8-9 at the time, nowadays I think Spyro 2 would be easier. But there are still a few challenges in Spyro 3 that piss me off to no end. For example, the thing in one of the worlds where you have to keep those stupid turtles or whatever from jumping into the kettle. That to this day will still bring me to chuck the controller.

Ninja gaiden for the x-box. The boss alma.

She's an evil devil woman that's way harder then any boss in any "game" deserves to be!. I did finely sc$#@! by. But still that's the most difficult thing i've ever done in any video game ever.

Oh, speaking of gaming walls and a recent game for the PSP. Has anyone defeated the last boss on Mega Man: Powered Up on HARD mode?

NO matter how many times I tried, I couldn't. I am going to have another go at it soon though.

::EDIT::
Yeah, I know I mispelled the games title.

I have rarely just "given up" on games, but the last one I did was the lousy, sucky, completely imbecile game "Futurama" for the X-Box.

Now... I am a *HUGE* Futurama fan, but this game just sucked. Given that I paid $20 for a used copy, I decided to play it all the way through, no matter how lame it was.

Then I go to the Leela level on the city on the sun where you have to play for 1/2 hour to get to a jumping puzzle the requires PRECISCE jumps to make it. I wasted 30 Leelas on that level...decided a crappy game was not worth this kind of frustration…popped out the game and sold it on eBay for $30 :thumbup:

I think we all might agree that making a game too easy is better then making a game thats too hard.

I'd have to disagree, I so want someone to make an RPG I can't beat, even Nemesis on FF-X was just an one-hour beat down. DQVIII had some difficulty to it but I thought it was kinda boring. So far the only RPG I can't get 100% on is Star Ocean: Till The End Of Time.
