Things you've failed at doing in video games for years

Post by **Prof. Bars** » Thu Feb 16, 2012 9:37 pm

What are some things you've attempted time and time again to do in a video game, but haven't been able to do since you started playing? List the top three things that give you the most trouble.

For me, it would have to be...

1. Getting all the Chaos Emeralds (or Time Stones) in any classic Sonic game
2. 1cc a shump that isn't Touhou
3. Figuring out where I am supposed to go in the original Zelda after the first dungeon, without a guide.

1 . getting shoryukens right. I keep doing hadoukens and do get shorykens when im mashing. grr

2.I have poor control, I'm trying to get headshots/bodyshots in FPS! But for some reason when I play, I shoot at opponents legs.

3. I cant find a stupid island to keep the game going in SKIES OF ARCADIA! I want to beat this game and everytime I get to the same part, I cant find the island and those random battles are killing me!

-Beating games. I've had the original Mass Effect since it came out, and I think I'm only about halfway through it. Amongst many other examples.

This. I hated using him, and I hated fighting him even more.

Going with fighting games, I can't ever reliably perform a quarter-circle. I can half-circle and full-circle, so in BlazBlue (fighting game of choice amongst friends) I main Tager, but quarter-circles elude me.

-Beat Battletoads. I am actually picking it back up after all these years...Made it to level 4 without dying. Made it to level 5 with all continues....

-Actually sink some time into some RPGS. I have a bunch I simply lost interest in about an hour in. Dont hate because I've beaten Final Fantasies 1,7, 10, Chrono Trigger, A few Elder scrolls games, y'know...

-Attack the hordes of games I collected but could never bring myself to playing...

I have issues beating games too, though I have beaten both ME1 and 2. I get stuck doing sidequests then either get burnt out or jump to a new game I just bought
