Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

Take an amazing game with some solid gameplay then turn the last level into bullshit.

If it wasnt for save state on emulators I doubt this game would have be finishable.
The golden warpship had no shields and would go down in like 4 hits. After playing the game in one style for hours on end you get slapped with this sidescroller.
You die and have to do the last level over again, which is a tough level in itself.
It teases and hates me, violently.
Wasn't the real reason, they didn't think america was talented enough to actually complete it, so they did something easier instead?
I remember I used to be able to beat the lost levels, but could never beat level 8 on mario, was very weird.
I also used to be able to beat punchout without a problem, now I can't even get past the second or third guy.
I hate Triti.
Everything else was fun to operate upon, but Triti was the reason I could never beat the game. I thought I had, once, but no, it came back in the end faster and stronger.
To date I am the only person that I know who has beaten that mission. I'm certain plenty of people have, but I've never ever met them.

So i buy it, and it comes on 4 cds, whereas the original came on 1 DVD. The game isn't doing me any favors at this point.
Requires the disc to be inserted to play.
Is picky about playing even when the disc is inserted.
Will not update.
Whenever smoke or particle effects come up on screen it shits itself. This game has something against me.
The pathfinding on NPCs for escort quests is mindfuckingly bad, if they don't have a direct line of sight (invisible walls don't count as LOS ) they will not follow you, they will stand there as if trapped like a mime.
After this i run into a string of bullshit, corrupt saves because i started the game windowed and changed to fullscreen, also i realise there is no widescreen resolution. Game is making me it's bitch.
There is a scripted event that does not happen, Kreia and Atton sit there picking their butts, when i try to talk to them; instead of dialogue choices i am greeted with some ridiculous code i'm pretty sure i was never meant to see, these codes are selectable like dialogue options but do not make the scripted event occur, this scripted event is required for the game to progress. The game now hates me.

MechWarrior Online: Khyber Pryde
After about an hour on Chase, I finished a run 0.4 seconds too long. After another hour or so, I brought that down to 0.12 seconds too long.
And I would have gotten it within 10 minutes if Faith would just
a) Jump onto that vent, rather than over it, consitently. 1/10 times, she'll jump onto it. 9/10 times I'll shout "Manky bitch" at the screen.
b) not get her damn feet caught on centimetre-high ledges. Actually, this is worse on the second jump of Cranes 1, but there are about three points in Chase where Faith will suddenly slow down, for an obstacle that's barely visible in all the bloom.
Which reminds me of a third problem: Faith often decides that she just wants to jog. Running along a nice flat straight, I see my ghost go past me, because I've slowed down by about 5kph and show no signs of accelerating.
I enjoy it, but by the gods it hates me.
Also, Star Wars Republic Commando. I have a 1GB Radeon 4870, with (I believe) the newest drivers. So why does it crash if I run it on any but the lowest graphical settings? Clearly it wants to rape my eyes. There can be no other explanations.
I like Triti! Once you figure out the pattern it's really fun. It's my favourite mission to go back to do. You just have to know that 2 adjacent spikes + space will make a triangle. Start in one corner and move your way over to the other. Don't worry about the side you're not working on getting filled up, since you'll get around to it. Remove every other spike on a line, then remove a spike, remove that triangle, and take care of any spikes that have regenerated. Working on more than one or maybe two triangles at a time or moving all over the place will kill your guy. Just work on slowly moving the line of triangles back and back until you corner them. The last two triangles are the hardest, since a lone triangle will replicate in a couple of seconds. So wait until all four spikes connecting the two triangles are there, get them all at once, and remove the whole set as quickly as possible. I tend to run out of time on that mission way more than the patient dies, but it's just a matter of moving quickly and efficiently.
On the other hand, FUCK Savato. It took me FOREVER to beat that fucking spider thing. The little spiders would always get the jump on me and turn into one of those super-spiders before I could kill enough of them, then when I killed one of the super-spiders, they'd already be massing into a new one. I beat that mission both times through blind luck of not having them come together right away.
Damnit Asiina, now I'm going to try and beat this again.
Oh god Lost levels I still can't beat World 8-3 I can never make the jump on the Koopa Paratroopa hit the brick above it and then bounce off the body and onto the vine. Oh did I mention you have to do this in mid air over a very big jump? Man fuck that. I'll take a transvestite dinosaur that spits eggs at me any day over this.
Shinobi(PS2)
Kunoichi(PS2)
This games hate you. Hate you to death.
I never played Kunoichi but I managed to beat Shinobi pretty easliy. the only really hard level (to me) was the one where you are in the city and it's full of water and you have to wall run through almost the entire level.
Maybe Triti was fun on the DS but it was a PITA on the Wii. It's just too hard to move the pointer that steadily and swiftly and grab with the tweezers to pull the thorns out. I still can't beat the game on anything but the Easy mode, and forget the X missions. I didn't find Savato all that hard, just frantic and tedious.
(and I when I say "not all that hard" I mean it only took me 4-5 tries instead of the usual 10-15 tries that the later missions were doing).
I still love the game, though. Need to get the Wii sequel. And the DS sequel, too, actually.

edit: I googled out of curiosity... I'm stuck on OPERATION 29 - Devil... the baby savato... this game hates hard... I don't get how anyone can beat that...
Yah Savato can eat a dick.
The new missions? Oh yeah, we'll just give you patients who are infected with two different strains of guilt. At the same time.
I cant remember how many days it took me to finish that one, but i remeber having the first half down to a science, then the rest was pure luck. I finally got it and it was BEAUTIFUL. I mean seriously, i saved the replay and edited it like a million dollar chase scene, and it is a thing of glory.
Its the one thing i will never delete off my PS1 card and i still watch it sometimes. 8-)
Holy shit, i totally forgot how much i struggled with that.
Yeah. Fuck that level. I have never played any part of Driver except that mission.
It's the other way around for me and my bro. We used to need the Konami code to get 30 lives for Life Force, and we still managed to take 1 or 2 continues in the process. Recently, my bro started a game by himself, not even co-op with me as we used to, and he beat the game without the code and without using any continues.
Some games I don't master as well as when I was young. Others are the complete opposite.

I don't know what the exchange rate is but would it work out cheaper to buy it from the US amazon and ship to CN? Or can you even do that?

And don't forget the asshole dickfuck shitcunts at the border who'll ALWAYS open your package and then shove a COD for 70% of the product's value up your ass.
NO, I'M NOT BITTER!
I'm still not fond of Triti, but once you know what you're doing it's not hard on the Wii unless you're going for the XS rank (only available on hard mode and the X missions). My opinion on the X missions is still "fuck the X missions".
The music for the final story operation is awesome, though:

This game is fun in the most computer throwing way possible. In the later levels it's an accomplishment to get a checkpoint 15 feet away after 10 minutes.
I stopped playing a couple months ago, and whenever I have the urge to start it back up I just slam a door on my head to simulate the experience. They really hook you in with the easy levels though. They are fun and only require a few restarts to make it through the whole thing.
