Bad games you forced yourself to finish. - retrolinkx - 09-02-2014
We've all got a few, that one game that you hated so much but thought you're close to finishing it, or it'd get better or some other stupid reason that you stated to make you finish it.
For me, the original Devil May Cry falls into this category. I thought it'd get better but it never did, hated everything about it really, it wasn't fun it was just pressing "RB + Y" and exploiting devil trigger/items and your guns to win. The only boss I ever found hard was the ones where you had to hit a wheel on a wall to be able to open the enemies weakness and the final boss wasn't even that bad.
I think every assassin creed game falls into there as well. I wanted to rush the first one to get to the second one, then I wanted to rush the second one to get to Brotherhood, etc. I rushed the third one cause I had it a week early and wanted to finish it before it came out. Now I don't care that much because I don't even like the assassin creed series that much.
The first two Mass Effects. I never liked Mass Effect, too much talking not enough combat and a lot of the time it'd be boring. Looking back I think I'd love it now, but I have no real need to play them. I only liked Mass Effect 3 cause it was mostly combat than talking and the talking was somewhat entertaining.
Kane and Lynch. While I love those games now. I sort of forced my way through them just because. They're pretty amazing games when you actually look at them, just two criminals in a bad situation they have to get themselves out of. But I did rush through them.
Probably a few more, but I can't remember. What about you guys, did you go through any games just to go through them?

Super Mario Bros. The Lost Levels.: I have an idea. Let's remake our first game add one or two new things and make the level designs so unfair that nobody would want to play it.
Assassin's Creed: As much as I like the AC games, I can not stand the first game. I did not know it the first time I played it, but the first game is so boring.
Drake of the 99 Dragons: As much as I dislike this game, it has it's charm. It's like that little brother you have. It's nice to look at and in thory, you should like it, but there are so many things wrong that you can't help but hate it and rage at every glitch that happens.

Resident Evil: Missions. That game was my crusade to beat one of the worst game of all time. I did it. I fucking did it and no one can take that away from me. May the developers of that game burn in the deepest pits of hell for all eternity. Those assholes.
Ninja Gaiden 3 (PS3) was one of those games I had to push through with sheer power of will. It wasn't so much "bad", just a lame, boring game with absolutely nothing going for it apart from the god-awful story. I rushed it, yes, but that was only because the story was so bad it almost physically hurt to follow it and the game itself was "smash X until things are dead" with the amazing enemy variation of "Here's a soldier! And here's a soldier with a different flavor of gun! Oh look, this one has a shield, the variety is amazing!" Never again. I wish I had waited for Razor's Edge.

Leisure Suit Larry MCL. I wanted to see how badly they butchered Al Lowe's great series with this game. After going through various mini games as well as being forced to unlock the censored parts, I thanked the great developers above that my quest for this was over. Like I said before. Its not a larry game. Its a porno in the veins of Fritz The cat.

De Blob 2, don't get me wrong, visually and story wise, it's a great little gem.
Those controls though *shudders*

^Which version? The Wii version?
RE: Bad games you forced yourself to finish. - CosmykTheDolfyn - 09-02-2014
Yes. Z targeting rarely works the way you plan it.
RE: Bad games you forced yourself to finish. - CLXcool - 09-02-2014
I know that the Z targeting worked well in the first one. Don't know what happened during development when the Z targeting was crud for the sequel.

The first ratchet and clank game actually. I really enjoy every sequential game, and now I don't even really mind the first one. At the time though, it bored me. I didn't like 3rd person shooters at the time.

Sonic Adventure 2 Battle.

Apollo Justice. I had to know what happened with Phoenix, but it was excruciating.

Yu-Gi-Oh! Forbidden Memories.
I felt honor bound to beat that game.

I can't believe you actually finished it. My hat goes off to you good sir. Must've took forever though...
RE: Bad games you forced yourself to finish. - Psychospacecow - 09-02-2014
about 2 months picking at it in my free time. I love the game for nostalgia and history reasons but MAN, is it a bad game.

Man, you have more patience than me. I've yet to pick it back up after putting it down a good 5-6 years ago. One day it will happen.
