I like my video games like I like my women.

This needs some Mouth to Mouth...

Again to difficulties, i think some games need a realistic setting. Like on Battlefront, the only reason i kept dieing was because the enemies took too many hits, even on easy, so i ran out of ammo, or there were too many and they ripped through me...or a Droideka but im going off subject, i think more games needs a realistic setting. Like Oblivion, Easy is the most realistec - i say that from damage, not area - as you can hit someone in the hand and they will fly about a meter then die. And im looking on their body like "What a waste...i cant get my arrow back" i mean, if its in their head and i cant get it out, thats ok, because every time i walk past it, i get a giggle. So just do more area damage on games. Like Battlefront, chest = kill/major wound, head = kill, leg = temporary walk speed with maybe a limp until healed, Arm = have to use pistol unless primary weapon is one handed anyway. You see? it would make sniping a whole lot easier too. And again, Call of Duty 4. You get shot in the foot and you die????? WHAT! i mean whats the point in cover if people can shoot you're hands and feet and kill you?

 

One that they missed in that video:

Fester's Quest. **** that game.

I've never felt so completely inadequate as when I played Battletoads, and that was when I had the lightning reflexes of a 15-year-old. That game was like some brilliant April Fool's joke.

I used to fly into a rage at the game Rush 'N Attack, for the NES. For some reason, when I was eleven, that was the hardest game ever ****ing made. I don't know how many times I got "grounded" from my Nintendo for flinging the controller or cussing up a storm. I remember even being pissed because it was a Konami game, and the "up-up-down-down" thing didn't work on it. Never beat it.

A few years ago, I downloaded it and had no trouble at all. Whatsoever.

I agree with that video about Ninja Gaiden, and the frustrating-as-hell jumping you had to do where you had to cling to a wall, dodging the ravens, and jump some more. Same **** used to frustrate me with the Sunsoft Batman game.

I will actually say that the Ghouls 'N Ghosts franchise is like the Bataan death-march for your soul. There's no way you're getting out of it alive.

 

I prefer some puzzles.
Never got into the button-mashing. In fact, it was button-mashing games that turned me off video games for 10 years. I blame the nintendo for ruining videogames.

Now, I finally did start again a few years ago (much longer story that needs be posted here).
The Lego StarWars games are just about perfect for my speed (except for a couple of the puzzels).
I don't like the idea of having to look up online to find out how to solve a puzzle or locate a path. I refuse to even waste time with games where you have to have cheat codes just to complete the first level (one of the other star wars games had that--Dark Force 2?)

 

Its about finding the right balance in a game. To have it be completely mindless would be no fun to me, but to have extremely difficult isn't much fun either. And what is easy for some is hard for another. And some days what normally is easy is hard and vice versa.

I prefer games that are just enough challenging to be fun. Super complex puzzles are annoying and avoided or If i can't (Like in KotOR) I'll use a guide for the answer. No difinitive answer to the puzzle? Make my sister solve it for me as she's really good at puzzles. When I game starts to frustrate me I walk away, so I guess I'm an easy gamer chick too.
