DAMN HER!DAMN HER TO THE DEEPEST, DARKEST PITS OF HELL
Whaaaat? That was the best boss in the game : ( The whole games is so bloody easy, and then you actually meet a boss where you have to think to survive, finally making good use of the battle engine. Heavenly ^^
If one wants something frustrating from FFX, try the mini-games to get the best weapons. The chocobo riding game and the lightning-dodging game aren't even remotely fun, just painful.
I personally was a bit frustrated with the Meat Circus in Psychonauts. I know it's the last level, but it's sooooo much harder than anything you previously encounter. Suddenly you have to concentrate to win? Seriously : D
Oh, and I-No from Guilty Gear XX too ^^ You think you're doing good and then she suddenly gets one hit in followed by three tension attacks, killing you instantly. Yeah, that's fun
"Just so you don't think I'm new to this whole "video game" thing... I missed out on the Contra craze, but I earned my chops in the old school Mega Man games"
Actually, I've never really had that big a problem with hard 2d-games unless the controls suck and you can't really do anything but learn every part of the game by heart before you can complete it.In 2d-games you can see everything that's going on and react accordingly which at least gives you the sense that your skill alone decides if you win or lose. In newer platformers like DMC things come running in from outside the screen, and you time and time again fall into holes you'd have easily cleared had you seen where you were going. When the camera, not the actual challenge is your enemy I do get rather frustrated ~~ As for the Mega Man games I loved them, even if they were hard. 'Twas especially fun if you played with a friend and you took turns trying to clear... say the block sections on Ice Man's level. Eventually I got so good at it that I could start with any boss, even in MM1. Beating Ice Man is not easy, let me tell you. Three hits and you're toast (or maybe ice cream rather ~~)
