This. Some of the dungeons are outrageously time-consuming, and I wouldn't be surprised if they expected you to suspend your game about 3 times. It's the whole "dying on the boss-reset from the start" thing that makes you tear your hair out.callaw said:I have to say pokemon blue rescue team. There are a few dungeons on that game were you start the beging at level 1 with all of your items taken away, and they expect you to go though 100 floors of it with pokemon getting stronger every couple of floors.
Actually, I'm pretty sure the poster is in fact talking about games for children that, nevertheless, are disgustingly hard.Snowalker said:First off, causal games, not kiddie, second they are designed with the intention of being difficult. Its like a puzzle vs a word problem. A puzzle is often consider to be for people of lesser intellect and word problems are considered to be for people of higher intelligence, however have you ever tried to solve a puzzle? it takes a long time, its not exactly hard but time consuming, word problems are often hard, but fast. Same principles apply to games.
Bingo. Hardest game for kids ever.Andaxay said:The Lion King on the Sega Megadrive.
You talk of the 16-bit era. Even New Super Mario Bros. is teeth grittingly hard. (Fucking Hammer-throwers!)TheNamlessGuy said:Any Mario game, really.
I do think that's because they know kids won't go on a killing spree after losing seventy-hyperbollilion times; It's all in good fun to them. To us the game just seems like a dick.AC10 said:"Adult" games are generally easy as fuck. Gears of war? what a boring game. Now SUPER MONKEY BALL - hot damn, THAT'S a difficult game.

The game feels slippery, seems like you're going to land perfectly on that platform, BUT NOOOOO. It fucks you in the ass. The old ones were super easy.urgh76 said:....................................HAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!ShawnRiles said:New Super Mario Bros Wii is kicking my ass currently.
sorry but that has to be one of the EASIEST mario games ever!!! not hard at all, im sorry
Saying that all kiddie games are casual is kind of silly. Ever played Bignose the Caveman? That's a kiddy game. It's also fucking impossible and only the most fervent players can get past level three.Snowalker said:First off, causal games, not kiddie, second they are designed with the intention of being difficult.

I just never realized I could drop through the moving platforms in the sewers, so I was trying to pull off some sheisty shenanigans by making platforms out of the sticky arrows.RedMenace said:Bah!
