Did you ever become too powerful in a game?

[Ack]

So I'm playing Way of the Samurai right now, and honestly...I'm extremely bored with this fight. It's lasted about half an hour already, and it's been me fighting one guy. I'm attempting to get a specific rank where I piss everybody off, and I'm apparently supposed to lose to this guy, but I've awared all but one of his special moves, and of course, it's the one he never uses(in half an hour, he's done it fewer than five times). To make matters worse, he used several moves that wore down his weapon, so now its broken. So every time he hits me, he does 1 point of damage. I'm sitting at 695 life right now, so...yeah.

For those who don't know, when you aware a move with a particular sword, you will autoblock that move every time they try it after that. I'd use a different sword, but I'm not carrying any.

Yes, mainly in RPG titles like Final Fantasy VII I had max stats, levels, magic, etc.. and could not get touched..

Castlevania Harmony of Dissonance

I played this after Order of Ecclesia. BIG MISTAKE.
After the first few levels, I could take hits from everything and literally walk through my enemies without any problems. To make matters worse, the spell book fusions not eating hearts made the bosses just plain sad. The hardest boss in the game is the true Richter, but after a few minutes, he's on the ground dying (literally). I think the big skeleton boss in the beginning of Ecclesia was harder than all of HoD. (maybe it was because I would only attack it with 2 knife glyphs)

I did the same thing with FFVII back in the day. It's still the only game I can say I've ever maxed out.

A few months ago I decided to max out everything on Mario RPG. The max level is only 30 lol. Also got everybody's best weapons and the lazyshell armor, jinx belt etc. That hidden fight with Culex didn't seem very hard at all like I remember it.....

This isn't a 'maxed out' story, but... I was playing Medal of Honor Rising Sun online a lot when it was out. This one time, I was on my favorite stage with the number of players at max (I forget how many that was) and bringing down hell. It got to the point where ever body left the game save for two people. I didn't have a headset, but they did, you can tell when people are talking to each other even though you can't hear them. And since there was only two other people in the game, they were obviously talking to one another.

Next thing I know, I turn a corner and they're both attacking me! They teamed up on me (and this wasn't a team scenario). So I end up killing the both of them, then I get kicked from the game lol. I'm not sure if I was the only one NOT lagging, or if every one else just really sucked, because I wasn't that good at the game.

Now a days, I don't even like playing games online.

Castlevania: SoTN. You're either too weak and everything kills you, or you're too high level and you crush everything. Oh, and there's that ONE perfect level in which a couple enemies are actually challenging without being annoying. Or rather, at each level (up to a point) there are usually only a couple enemies that are really and truly appropriate for you. The bane of the Metroidvania is this utter lack of balance.

[Ziggy]

I NEVER use the Crissaegrim when replaying SoTN anymore. The game is easy enough as it is, that just makes it a joke.

I remember when I played Lunar for the first time. I was in the mindset of "oldschool rpg, must level grind!".
I would grind and grind and grind, when I got to the final FINAL boss I barely broke a sweat. I felt bad about it it was so easy. I just spammed defense lowering moves on him and boosted my own attack power. I think at the beginning of the fight I think Alex only did 90 points of damage with a normal attack, by the end each hit was doing about 400 points. It was unfair.
