what I mean is - I enjoy playing games on the PS3 etc but often when I'm actually playing them and come to a hard bit (usually shooting) I just want to get past that bit, and really just get to the end of the game so it's completed.

Anyone else get this? :rolleyes:
 
Not because they are hard - i mostly just feel this way because very few games are compelling enough to keep my interest all the way through. I get to a point where I've gone so far and want to finish it but think to myself that I'm just doing it for the sake of completion - rather than enjoyment.

I stopped this. If i get bored, i leave it. So what if its unfinished, I don't have enoguh time to waste doing something im not fully enjoying
 
I love hitting a hard point in a game working away at it for ages and then getting past and then putting the game down. It's all too often though that I never pick it up again because I think there will be another hard bit and I don't have the time to half complete it...
 
I'm slowly starting to get this. I'm after more story orientated games like Heavy Rain and Uncharted which keep the flow/momentum going. if I die a couple of times on the same bit in a game my attention seems to wane and I start getting bored.

Bit like outlast it's scarring the crap out of me

I found the trick with Outlast is to "skip" everywhere. By this I mean constantly jumping - it looks like the character is skipping though.

It turns the game from a jump scare fest into an almost comical spoof of itself.

"la la la you can't get me" *Jump scare" " Ooooo so scary, la la la"

:D

For the thread subject I find the most annoying thing in games is when you get a sudden jarring in the overall pacing. Something like a sudden action segment in an otherwise stealthly game or vice versa. This can often be seen as hard as you simply weren't expecting it / particularly enjoy it.

I don't mind having to redo difficult parts so much, what really bugs me is when you have to redo a difficult part, but sit through a 10 minute unskippable cutscene before hand. Every single time you fail! Honestly, what would be so difficult about putting the checkpoint AFTER the cutscene?!

Can't remember which game I was playing recently that had this, but really bugged me... :mad:
 
Bioshock Infinite had this effect on me. The story was brilliant and kept me wanting more, but the poor shooting mechanics made it feel a bit like a chore. The world was interesting to explore though.

Plus I knew there was a twist coming that I really wanted to experience.
 
I played GTA V taking my time to do all the side missions, etc rather than story only and I found it just wasn't that long IMO. After it was completed online was a joke so nothing left to do.

Games only last a few weeks maximum until your bored these days unless it's online multiplayer.

If all you want is the story, people usually upload all the cutscenes in order so it's a movie onto youtube. Why not just watch them for free if that's all your interested in than playing the game?
 
I think the difficulty of games has really dropped over the years. I come from the 8bit gaming years where games really did have difficult aspects to them.

Modern day games have more frustrating parts than difficult parts, I enjoy collecting trophies for the PlayStation games but games like tomb raider have trophies I will never get! I don't have time to hit level 100 online, even if I did have time, I don't want to waste this much of my life playing the game online! I would take difficult challenges over these time sucking achievements any day of the week.

Just drop the difficulty of the game to suit your enjoyment levels, that's the best suggestion I have.
 
To the OP, you just need to relax and engage the part of your mind that can strategise or indeed straight up murder!

I completed Bioshock Infinite and had fun but it just confused the hell out of me.
 
I wish Alan Wake never ended. I wanted to be lost in those woods forever. Every turn around a corner or into a hut or cave was magical.
