The first avatar I ever had was a beholder from that game. People seem to hAte it just because it’s so different from previous entries.

Saints row 2 was way more fun than GTA4. I remember throwing GTA4 away like andy threw away woody in that nightmare from toy story 2.

A Strange Aeon posted:I got the 7th Saga for a birthday when I was a kid after reading about it in Nintendo Power. It's okay for a jrpg, which aren't really my thing these days, but after dozens of hours I ended up towards the end of the game where I wasn't strong enough to handle any of the random encounters and plot reasons meant I couldn't go back to an easier area, so I just was hosed. fun fact: the US version was much, much more difficult than the original version.

I did spend too much time on LJN NES/SNES games. The non Arcade Simpsons games of the early 1990s were pretty wretched too.

Outpost among my friends in high school we very cleverly nicknamed it Compost, but we still played that garbage because the concept was cool. it really did suck though.

I liked Lester the Unlikely. I played through the whole game a bunch of times and found it really interesting how the character progresses as they gain confidence. They go from revenge of the nerds stereotype to confident and in shape and it showed in their movement animations. It was a frustrating game and I definitely used the level select more times than I played the game straight due to the lovely controls, but there was something endearing about it. I was waiting for Lester to come back after the credits.

Deadly Towers on NES was the most aggravating game I stuck with until the end. I learned years later it had made several lists of worst games of all time. I guess it was innovative at the time for having 8 directional movement on a faux 3D background but the movement was awkward as gently caress and took a lot of getting used to and your character would get stuck a lot. There were a lot of lovely things going on at once that made play difficult, especially at the beginning and most people probably just gave up. Right from the jump you were attacked from all sides by enemies with super erratic movement, some of them indestructible. Your only weapon was a sword that you fired from your crotch. You could only fire one at a time. If you shot and missed you had to stand there defenseless while you waited for your flying sword to slowly leave the screen. You had hit points/hearts based system and getting hit would knock you back, sometimes off the edge of a cliff. When you died, you always had to start at the very beginning and any money you collected went down to zero. Cliffs are everywhere. Adding to this hell, somewhere in the first area of the game is an invisible entrance to a parallel world. There are several of these in the game and it is impossible to see them coming. You’re walking along and suddenly the screen changes and you’re in a square room with four doors, none of which take you back to where you came in. You are trapped and have to guess your way through a seemingly endless series of identical square rooms until you stumble your way out. The deeper into it you go, you quickly are killed by enemies that hopelessly outclass you. None of this furthers the actual game, you’re just in hell. I had to start drawing maps to navigate. The design and color schemes are loving hideous. The enemy sprites are barely recognizable as anything. There’s a thing called a Crud that is just a blob on the ground that you get stuck to and die. Things I liked about the game: The music kicks rear end. It’s repetitive as hell but also varied and it’s got that medieval chiptune vibe that I like. The key to the game is finding weapon and armor upgrades as soon as possible. These things cost money that like I mentioned, disappears when you die. But if you can manage to find a way to grind and get a bunch of coins or whatever saved up and make to to a store you can start getting better poo poo and the game starts getting more fun. I had a lot more patience for games like this back then and I beat the motherfucker. People on YouTube called me a liar in comments when I said I beat it because apparently nobody could.

Someone mentioned mission: impossible for the n64 and that’s a decent answer for me. I played it a ton even though I realized at the time that it wasn’t very good. The controls were awful. It was ugly. Some of the level solutions were really baffling. There were way too many ways to irretrievably fail without any clear explanation. But something about it appealed to me and I played way too much of it

Armitage posted:I did spend too much time on LJN NES/SNES games. Put years into Who Framed Roger Rabbit and Friday the 13th on the NES. I secretly love them dearly, but also loathe them for their difficulty. You literally can’t beat Judge Doom without the super punch Game Genie code ( and it’s still nearly impossible), and running into Jason on the outside track of Camp Crystal Lake multiple times until he kills you

But something about it appealed to me and I played way too much of it Same. There was a can of spray paint you could use to blind cameras but I would just walk around spraying it in the party level. I think you could mace people too or something. The most fun part was the credit sequence where the gameplay shifts to an entirely different genre. You slowly drift down a river in a gun boat blowing up enemy infrastructure. My addition is Command and Conquer for the N64. The maximum view size was tiny and a bunch of stuff was missing compared to the PC version. I still spent many a weekend filling the map with walls after neutralizing, but not defeating, the enemy.

I'm probably going to beat Final Fight Streetwise tonight. I grew up with a ps1, not an n64 and I liked Bubsy 3d. I wished i could be playing Mario 64 sure, but I had fun with it and got pretty far.

Star Wars Lightsaber Battle Game This is the only footage on youtube apparently. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pxoxZAijW60 It sucks and was apparently 1 year before the wii release. You held some lovely little lightsaber and there was a sensor at the tv and it couldn't detect poo poo.

I concur with the Mission Impossible 64- made it to the train sniper level, but no further- and Bible Adventures for the NES- growing up in a Christian house, not a hell of a lot of choice. I played a few hours of Bad Day LA, and holy cow, was that game bad. Beyond the game being ugly and terrible, it was just outrageously unfunny. Although, I have to admit that the lovely voice acting waaaaaaaaaas kinda funny. But not because of the writing. EDIT- I actually think the SNES Lion King is a really good game.

I played P.N.03 all the way through more than once. It was terribly repetitive, and the environment never changed, but the controls were pretty snappy and it was easy to zone out to. I also played Black & White off and on over several months just to see if I could figure out why it garnered all those glowing previews. Spoiler: I could not. Also, Madworld. Though to be fair that was actually fun for a little while, before you realized you'd unlocked all the mechanics and it was going to be the same attacks, on the same punks, forever.

I played Yooka Laylee 5 years after things settled and gave it a fair shake despite the panning. It opened strong, and had enough for me to keep pushing forward past the lovely parts. Actually, I remembered liking the swamp area too, once I was past the ice and casino worlds. Hitting the space ocean area was where I had to give up though. Even being filled with collectables, it felt kind of empty, and when you were looking for the stragglers it really set in what a slog it was having far too large and wide open levels. The gimmick goals to offset this like races or physics golf were pretty weak.

Anarchy Online was incredibly buggy when it released. If you could play for more than ten minutes without it failing in some spectacular way you were lucky. My favorite was when I was running down a street and glitched into the foundation of a building. I could move my camera around and see where I was but could not move at all. No escape commands to reset; rebooted and I spawned right back there; totally stuck. In chat I asked if there were any suggestions and I basically got several replies of "oh yeah, that happens. You have to open a ticket with the admins." It worked. I only had to wait about 3 hours over two nights before I got help. I tortured myself for about 5 more days and then just quit the game. The crazy part is I really liked the genre and aesthetic and about 4 years later I read on the SA forums that the game had been vastly improved and was essentially bug free. I gave it another go, and sure enough it was totally functional. I played for a good year after that.

Pull off a heist at a fancy dinner party or something. I know I played N64MI but I forget everything about it so I don't know if it counts anymore.

Bookmarking this thread to see if any of you ended up playing A Fork in the Tale because I really need to know how you voluntarily sat down in front of an FMV game starring Rob Schneider I played some poo poo-rear end demos when they were all being packaged in CDs with gaming magazines.

Advent Rising - I played through the whole game, I was sad it got cancelled. Toy Story 2 - I loved Toy Story 2. Bad Ratz - There was a period of time where the Steam SA group would buy you that game, whether you wanted it or not, even if you asked them not to. It was BAD
