Has anyone out there been playing an up till then very good game only to have it ruined by a very frustrating or even near impossible section.
I've had this happen to me a few times, I was playing Tomb Raider on the original Playstation, there one section in a prison under an arena, in order to get into a locked cell to get to the exit you had to pull a lever in another cell then turn and run out and down the corridor before the cell closed back up, but the timing was so impossible tight I just could not do it, I had to resort to using a cheat code which left a sour taste in my mouth.
Also on the Playstation in the game Odd World 2 the was one part that was so hard I think it took about a hundred attempts to get through, the game was hard enough as it was so this was so needless.
Now when it comes to gaming I admit am a bit long in the tooth, so my reactions are none too fast, but making things like this near impossible hard just ruins the game for me.
The was a mech pilot type game on the Xbox, where you piloted and fought giant war robots, I forget it's title, a good no brainer shoot 'em up, a fairly good game all around worth a few hours play.
Then they brought out the sequel, oh boy, some genius thought it would be a great idea to have your character have to run up to an enemy robot, eject its pilot and take it over by playing a ridiculously hard Simon Says type game with the buttons on the controller, this was so frustratingly difficult and nearly impossible to do that it completely ruined what should have been a good game, because of this I could not get past a certain point no matter how hard I tried.
Had anyone else had a good game ruined because of some badly thought out and near impossible obstacle!
