Never heard about this game but it looks interesting, like a mix between Expeditions Conquistador and Monkey Island goofiness. The problem is, you just need to stay above the curve or you'll get your backside handed to you at the end.
Very easy to get the hang of, difficulty is perfectly curved. Micktiegs_8: renowned explorers should be on your list then. If on the other hand either the game has a lot of very obscure puzzles or the chance that me being stuck has its reason in some 2px sized thing I missed in one of the screens, I'll take a look at some hints pretty quickly. If the game has overall fair puzzles and no pixel-hunting I will really try to solve it myself. Even better is UHS, if available for the game. Decorated with a little note in cut-out newspaper letters that say "I curse you and your offspring for 7 times 7 generations, may luck evaporate before it ever finds your way" I have no trouble consulting a walkthrough when I've been stuck for considerable* time. When it's charming it can be tolerable to an extent but when that charm isn't there, it just makes you want to find the game designer's house, draw a pentagram on their porch and into its center lay a dismembered voodoo doll splattered with ketchup. Figuring out that one exact small thing that needs to be done to progress often comes down to finding the needle in the haystack or reverse-engineer contrivedness that sees itself as clever because it makes you feel dumb. The problem mainly lies within ego because there is this childish drive to self-solve everything which, frankly speaking, is neither sensible nor viable. With that genre, I put myself through a lot of time wasting and suffering and I somehow find myself unable to permanently abandon a point & click adventure, even if I'm stuck for months (or years) and not having any fun due to the stuckness - which one can only circumnavigate with a walkthrough but that would ruin fun as well so it's a no-win situation.

Plus Medal of Honor - Airborne that kept crashing and Battlefield 4 that slowed to a halt halfway the campaign as the frame-rate dropped to 1 every few seconds on a map that my rig obviously couldn't handle no more.Īwalterj: edit: the problem with my strategy is that I still fail to apply the same common sense to point & click adventures. Operation Flash Point - Dragon Rising (too detailed controls, too much military tech-jargon) Operation Flash Point - Red RIver (waves of Chinese) These games got added to a list of shooters-I-quitted-because-they-are-too-hard that already consisted of:īattlefield - Bad Company 2 (pesky helicopters)īrothers in Arms (getting shot down while searching the next save-point after just having won a very difficult fight it took countless of tries to win - then having to redo it as I didn't find the save-point yet is no fun) And for each soldier you shoot down, 2 more appear in the time it takes to shoot down 1 soldier (no fast-firing automatic weapons in this era, at least not in this fight). They storm the room from 2 sides: 2 barricaded openings from which they shoot at you from one side, the other side a hallway from which they can enter the room. However the first battle, taking place in a big building in Hanoi (the palace?) has you fend of a wave of French soldiers with a machine-gun - which is already a hard fight - than run upstairs to defend yourself against enemy soldiers that entered the building, getting stuck with just one fellow Vietnamese against waves of Frenchmen.
7554 is a Vietnamese-made shooter with a Call of Duty-like gameplay that tells the story of the uprising of the Vietnamese against the French colonial occupation of Vietnam. Normally when a fight gets too difficult, I try again and again before quiting but this one was so overwhelming, I only tried twice and daren't go back again (as I wrote in age limit for playing games I'm having a hard time getting myself into difficult games which - I conclude from the discussion - has far more to do with my mental illness than with old age.ħ554 is the other game that got too tough, but this one even in the beginning. He does such massive damage and the door slams behind you so there's no way to run back and catch your breath for a while. Return to Castle Wolfenstein: I've had great fun with the game and did almost finish it, however the fight where you finally meet Deathshead and his Übersoldat comes raging at you was too overwhelming for me. I've added another two shooters to my list of FPS-campaigns that I've quit:
