Aaahh screw this. aka games you gave up on
Games that are just impossible to beat/stay interested in due to difficulty etc.. name yours.
Recently, Metal Gear Solid 3 did this to me.
Don't get me wrong, MGS1 was my _favourite_ game on PS1, absolutely love the concept, storyline, gameplay, characters, etc etc.
But MGS3.
I was frustrated. Such amazing characters, concept, storyline. But the gameplay.
Ohh boy.
I consider my time spent playing MGS3 to be split up into different parts.
1/4 actually playing the game. (Where half of this was spent crawing through the grass at 0.1 miles an hour)
1/4 sitting watching conversations
I hope you like the menu system, the rest of the game was spent using it.
1/4 using the "cure" system to manually Disinfect/Bandage/Apply Ointment/Remove Bullets/Remove Arrows/Depoison etc.
1/4 using the "camo" system to manually change what i'm wearing to instantly up my "stealth" rating.
I like stealth games. I loved MGS1, Splinter cell, Thief etc etc.
But holy shit do these camera angles make stealth impossible.
Automatically changing to first person when you're in the grass was a funky addition, but it gets super annoying super fast.
I got to more or less the last section of the game, but can't bring myself to play it any further. I wish I could, but it's just so god damn painful.
