Games you got stuck in
crazybritishsteve:
I destroyed freelancer inside 2 days. It is one of the easiest games i've ever played
Switchblade:
Slacker. I ripped through the storyline inside one day.
four battles that really slowed me down, however:
1: Escaping from Bretonia, and you run into a whole fleet of Rheinland capitol ships, and it's you, a heavy fighter, and three light fighters versus a battleship, three cruisers, five gunships and about ten wings of heavy fighters.
I was flying a Bretonia heavy fighter with starkiller torpedo launchers, four skyrail Bs and twinned cannonball missile launchers, advanced thrusters and a level 4 shield. Took out a battleship and a cruiser, but the first three or four times, I went down pretty quickly.
2: The return to Liberty, when you first encounter the prototype heavy fighters with Nomad weaponry. owch. To make that battle easier, btw, don't be tempted to mount Order shields: They're graviton-based, and Nomad weapons do double damage to graviton shielding. Buy a good pair of shields on Kyoto, and stick with those until the end of the storyline, but buy an Order shield anyway - once the nomads are out of the way, the Order shielding's better for post-storyline playgrounding.
3: Tekagi's Arch.
4: The battle of Toledo, when you have to destroy two nomad battleships to progress.
My toughest battle ever in that game, however, was near planet Malta - Single-handed versus twenty Bounty Hunter Hammerhead class level 9 heavy fighters. That wasn't fun at all.
Those battles still get me sweating when I replay them, and I'm a damned good player by now...
As for Tony Hawk's 1: Max stats, and it still took me two hours of try-fail-restart-try-fail-restart-try-fail-restart...
Gryff:
In recent memory I've failed to complete:
Abe's Exoddus (my memory card got wiped and I really couldn't be bothered starting again.
Final Fantasy IX - had to return the borrowed fourth disc... damnit
Grandia - just got bored
Final Fantasy X - I'm up to the last boss but I've been trying to beat Omega... which is not fun.
GTA: San Andreas - I'll go back to it, I promise!
Most of the time my attention gets distracted by a shiny new game, and sometimes I just can't be bothered going back to finish older ones. Grandia was probably the worst offender - most slow-moving RPG storyline I've seen.
There have been quite a few lesser games that I've given up on too. Does anyone else find that as you age, your tolerance for bad games goes way down? I remember the days on my Sega Master System, trying for hours to beat Ghost House. Man that was a crap game, but the mere fact that it was a game meant that I had to finish it. These days I'd give up after two minutes!
Blue Kitty:
my friend and I have a system where we put of aa game when we get stuck and come back to it later and seem to beat it easily. The only game i remember getting stuck in is Metroid 2 for the GB.

Hells yeah, when I was younger I'd slog my way through any shitty game but these days I just don't have the time/attention span for it. I always find myself hiring games and giving up on them after about 5 minutes.
I blame the game developers - hardly anyone makes original games anymore, especially not for consoles. Take Tony Hawk for example, the first two were great but then they released about 15 more sequels that were pretty much exactly the same game. Gran Turismo was fun back when modifiying your car in a racing game was a relatively new concept (let's not forget Street Rod), but playing GT4 I found myself thinking "This is exactly the same as GT2, only more linear"
P.S. Yeah NZ!!
