games that you just cant beat

[Karr Lord of Chaos]

do you people have any games that are so damn hard or impossible that you cant ever finish it?

for me it has to be this stupid fire emblem. i spend hours doing a single battle to get to the boss of that field and then the boss turns out to be outrageously over buff where i can barely scratch him and he decimates everything with a single strike (he gets two hits but he doesnt need it) and he can counter and block almost anything. what a joke, im done with this crap game.

Metroid Prime 2.
Not because of difficulty, I just find it too damn boring to go on.

Armored Core 4.
Terrible controls.

The first ninja gaiden. That was a hard game.

FF5. Not because it's hard, but because it sucks huge balls that I couldn't beat it.

Viewtiful Joe, God Hand, and Front Mission 4. VJ, and GH, are freakin hard as hell. FM4 is boooorrrrrring in the later missions, that take like more than an hour.

God Hand

Funny you should mention this as I just beat the game (after owning it since the release date) last week. This game gets downright CHEAP during the later levels but the insane boss battles are just... worth it.

I laughed tirelessly during the fight with the Midget Power Rangers and the fight with the crazy rocker dude (and his beat boxing bass friend) who were followed by an "encore" rocker dude when you searched their bodies.

FF8, I have everybody and every GF maxed and I still get raped by the end chick/thing.

FF5 Because the magic and phisical towers near the end. Who uses magic? I have no one capable of doing it.

Einhander.

I have both the US and JP version, but I think the JP version is more difficult because the manipulator doesn't move around as quickly. I still love the game.

Gradius V.

****.

Steel Battalion.

****!!!

Re: games that you just cant beat

this list cant be complete without a mention of Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne.

no game has been more geared towards the total destruction of the players sanity then this one. every battle was an epic struggle to survive, waiting for the next opportunity to actually be able to strike rather then heal from the last devastation. i poured so many hours into my monsters before i realized that they where a dead end and i wouldnt evolve any further, making them weak and useless.

at one point in the game i screwed myself badly and had to go back to a heal/save scroll to restock. when i entered the plaza i was immediately faced with a strong boss battle. how i managed to beat it with critically wounded characters i wont ever know, but i saved at that scroll and never progressed farther.

i think i broke one controller in rage during an attempt when a boss pulled out his bag of ultra cheap tricks and sleeped me or something then proceeded to massacre me slowly. to know your so close to finishing a ridiculesly nightmare dungeon and then to fall pray to whorish tricks is a truly sad experience.

i think mora is the only person i know who has actually beaten that game. he deserves a medal for the effort.

i whimper in silence at what hard more is like.

edit: that reminds me. i was never able to beat einhander. even though i beat it flawlessly up to the second last stage, i was still unable to clear it farther then that. i only once made it to the final stage but quickly died. my friends beaten it twice, but hes good at those type of games.

btw, that police car thing you can get is fun.

DMC3SE. I can only get just past the Cerberus. Not because of difficulty though but because I always get lost and then bored in the first areas of the tower.

All of them.

Re: games that you just cant beat

I will never beat Final Fantasy Tactics Advance. There are no story missions left. Just dispatch missions - and I can't even do those, because I need certain items to accept the mission.

Can I take this mission? No, I need the Clock Gear.
Can I take this mission? No, I need the Choco Bread.
Can I take this mission? No, I need the Tiny Flower.
Can I take this mission? No, I need Magicite Ore.
Can I take this mission? No, I need TWO Magicite Ore.

Every once in a while, I get an item I need for a mission, which gives me an item I need for another mission, but the missions keep cycling, so that by the time I have the item necessary for one mission, that mission won't be availble for another month. I can probably get all the necessary items with another sixty hours of game time, but that doesn't even guarantee me access to the final missions.

Also, Wild Arms 3, because I don't know where to go.
