いただき FORUMS - Itadaki

Only took me ten years to do it x3

Though I wasn't trying THAT hard. But boy I've gotten good. Wasn't that hard once I got the pattern down and I only died twice to Final Sigma.

The *point* of this thread-in-disguise (besides to see if anyone actually reads these things ;P) is post moments days of gaming past that were incredibly hard or took you way longer to complete than it should have, but of course, you triumphed in the end.

And if you've never managed to beat it, say why! Who knows, you might get a pointer or two.

congrats! That was a great game.

oh that reminds me. I never beat Tiberian Sun: Firestorm as Nod. But when we get Command & Conquer The First Decade then maybe I can finally complete my quest.

Anyway that might be it. Maybe typically I manage to beat a game or deliberately quit I think. After all I beat some rather hard twitch games, including most traditional MM games (although with savestates) and a perfect save of F-Zero GX and even 1000 gamerscore in Sonic The Hedgehog. But then there's the fact that nowadays once I review a game I may not even be interested in completing it.

Though there's Mr. Driller.. that game is impossible to complete, it's that hard.. I'm not sure I ever beat the third mission. But that's a puzzle game.. so it does not make an interesting story. x) There's some games I haven't beaten for one reason or another, perhaps they are difficult but that's perhaps not the entire reason for me quitting.. these include Castlevania Symphony of the Night.

Blame years of renting games if you must, but I have roughly a one week attention span for any one game. In that sense, the new, short lived games are good in that I actually beat them. God of War was the first game I have ever beaten in one week.

For some games, I get to a hard point and give up. Sometimes, (Metroid Fusion [GBA]) I pick it up years later and beat it. Other times (Resident Evil 2 [PS2]) the game has such an odd control scheme that there is no way you can play it at the level of where you were in the game, and starting over just sucks.

But MM X4 I've only rented, but I get terrible headaches from Mega Man games. I don't know why.

renting is gr8... indeed. Currently I have out Speed Racer The Videogame via GameFly.

lol... interesting. I'm not gonna blame you though, I'm not sure but I think I can understand why.

Mega Man games take platforming to a new height of difficulty. Where the point of platformers like Mario is to primarily get through the game (you didn't even have to kill Bowser if you didn't want to), Mega Man requires you to defeat your enemies. The X series added new maneuverability and also more reasons to use said maneuvers x3 Zero in X4 was tough because his melee range was limited, bosses mostly gave you more mobility than actual weapons (double jump, spin cut, air dash, ect).

However, once you've mastered Zero's ability to move and utilize what attacks he does get actually makes him better than X. The spin cut you get when he learns the double jump is the last weapon you'll ever need. I pwns everything. The only thing X gets over Zero is the ability to charge his weapons for more damage -- Final Sigma's first form is weak against fire. Zero takes a few slices to get him down. X can kill him in one charged-up hit.

And if these games make your head hurt, I recommend passing up the Mega Man Zero games. 'Extreme' doesn't even start.

I think its more from the light patterns. You know, the thing in the front of every manual? I get migranes from time to time, almost always from vision. Mega Man's eg cannon just seems to fry my forehead.

Speaking of Mega Man, anyone play 9? I never played the NES ones, but the demo is fun, if not very hard.

I've neglected to DL it yet, but its on my to-do list.

And yeah lol. I grew up playing the classics :P From the sounds of it its a return to MMII in terms of... everything. Check your carpal tunnel at the door.

Yeah, the elephants can kiss my butt. (downloaded the demo)

You know what games I have yet to beat? Final Fantasy games. I don't think I've beaten any of them except VII, and not through lack of trying. I just got bored building up or I'd get lost, or pick up some new game and get absorbed into it.

That, and Harvest Moon for Playstation. I got so far into it, like year two of three, and I'd be so well on my way that I really wouldn't have any goals left for myself.

I've beat Final Fantasy III(VI) too many times to count xD I understand though, first time through it was tricky.
