oh god this, i got to the final showdown with vergil and he literally took me the best part of an hour, 1 gold orb, 20 large green stars and every ounce of cunning i could muster using the swordmaster style, i was determined not to fail after coming so far and i eventually wonAlternative said:Devil May Cry 3 on Dante Must Die mode.

I thought it was from Too Human; but apparently not. I watched about 2 dozen vids looking for it.

There are a lot of really difficult games out there, and there are some games that people find easy that others find impossible. Sure, that seems completely obvious - Demon's Souls exists in the same universe as Lego Star Wars. But here's the thing - some of us just give up when we reach a part of the game that's too hard. But depending on the game, sometimes I find that its suddenly kicking my ass just makes me want even more to beat it.
Recently, I've been playing a lot of League of Legends (under the screen-name NerfedFalcon if you want to come find me, I don't turn down friend requests but I might unfriend you if I wind up hating you), and it's struck me that for various reasons, I'm actually pretty terrible at the game. From not knowing to hug the turret if you're outnumbered on a lane to forgetting that I have two Summoner Spells equipped, one way or another I just can't stay alive long enough to get anything useful done for my team. But, I don't know how it did this, but I want to play it even more just so I can stop doing stuff like that, finally become good at it. And I didn't even like it at first.
I don't know what's up with it - whether it's that I know some friends are playing it and might want to help me out, to the fact that I've already bought a champion (it was Annie, for the record) so now I'm 'invested', something's clicked in my brain. And now, I don't want to stop until I've, not mastered, but at least managed to get rid of the ball and chain mentality. It's an incredibly rare game that does that to me - and rarer still when it's multiplayer-based.
So what about you guys? What are some games that you found incredibly difficult, but that just made you more tenacious in return?
US West. It's the closest one to Australia. Average ~190 ping but in LoL ping doesn't seem to matter as much as it would in, say, Call of Duty.The Wykydtron said:Oh Oh! Which server do you play on? If you don't mind me asking. Mine's EU West, no idea if you need to go and switch servers to play with other people from seperate servers.
Hardly played any games at all. And I do think the first guy to give me advice "Forget team composition at your level, just play one character to perfection" is probably a better idea, especially considering - like I said - I'm a noob.I've gotten back into LoL as well even though I was sure I hated the damn thing first time I played it... Just hit level 30, might try Ranked just to see how different it is.
You any good at figuring out which person you are during a proper 10 man team fight? I still can't do it now. It's just a mishmash of health bars and particle effects until my screen fades to grey...
Still have to wait for her to get into the weekly rotation. But I did have a lot of fun with Darius, and I bought Annie because she's one of the cheap ones...You tried Irelia yet btw? She is your Avatar after all XD
Nobody can 1v1 Twitch; better nerf Irelia. ...Then buff Garen because Darius made him pointless.I think i'll go with LoL as well, it's like you can see how good you could become if you practised a champion and learned what he/she can do.
I need to get good with Riven, she's so damn cool. Also need to figure out when you say "Lol health regen ftw!" with Irelia and commit and when to go "the health regen! It does nothing! and port back to base in a bush somewhere.
I can see how Irelia could have been overpowered from the outset, if anyone can 1v5 successfully it'd be her (and pre-patch Darius ^^) Suppose "better nerf Irelia" became a meme within the LoL meta for a reason.
Don't usually bother much with item builds either; I just buy whatever's on the 'buy this stuff' list when I have enough cash to. Then again, I'm not even at the level where I should be working out 'metagame' item builds.She does not stay stunned as well, once got hit by an Ashe arrow (AKA the team fight go button) and it only caused a tiny blip in my movement, the 2 second stun became a half second slow. Mecury Treads + Irelia's passive ftw
Heard Darius was carry from a friend of mine, but he seems just normal...And postioning is really important to learn. I still haven't mastered it, like if you get a Vayne on the edges of a team fight just Tumbling around with her 1 second invisibility per Tumble you've basically won the fight cuz AD Carries ftw.
I can play anything but a Carry. God you do badly start game as a Carry and you're beyond useless. Vayne is my least terrible AD Carry ^^
...though, their terminology was "in endgame they carry the team" so maybe that's just two different ways of phrasing it. Magikarps?Quick summary on what a Carry is. I hate being that guy who just throws epic jargon at people. May as well try to make things easier
Carries get carried through the start game by their lane partner (preferably a Support) due to their start game damage being kinda bad overall.
Now, you get enough items and levels and you're an unstoppable dunking machine who carries their team to victory due to insane damage output. This is why Carries have lower health and the words "focus X" gets thrown around in chat a lot
I don't get into a lot of jungle fights. Mostly because I don't know who's good for them and I don't trust myself to actually be able to beat up jungle mobs.Just clicking on an enemy once and watching auto attacks go off just doesn't agree with me. I feel like I should be doing something rather than watching my character just off auto attacks until they die/stand and fight/lead me into turret range...
Vayne has Tumble, that's why I can stand playing her, I'm actively contributing to my damage just rolling after my target. Plus that crossbow knockback from Condemn is insane, especially in jungle fights due to the knockback pinning them to walls and getting the stun

Anyway, thanks for the boost. Probably get back online again soon...
