What difficult games/game challenges did you give up on? (beehaw.org)

Be it a game that's difficult in its entirety, or a particular challenge in a game that you just couldn't complete.

For me, there are three that come to mind:

Super Hostile: Waking Up (Minecraft Custom Map, Hard difficulty). That damn water section...
Terraria Zenith Mode. Coming from someone to whom Master Mode is fairly easy, this was rough.
Calamity Death Mode (Terraria). I beat DoG (this was back when a headshot was an automatic death), but I just could not click with the Yharim fight. I also think burnout was at play here because that was a LONG playthrough.

I couldn't get past the second area(I think?)of Cuphead, there was a dragon boss that was just a wall for me.

It's a really hard game but I have to say learning to speedrun it was super fulfilling. Time consuming though haha

Gave up on gaming in general. Moved to Linux back in October. Had issues getting my games to play because of various issues between Nvidia 535/545 and Wayland, Xorg, or the steam/proton/lutris/aagl/hgl things I tried. Then work got too busy and I've put gaming on the back burner 'til I have more time to troubleshoot it (hopefully with new Nvidia/Wayland packages).

This.

This is unfortunately why I have not switched to Linux as a daily driver

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

I switched to Linux as my daily driver back last summer and have been able to play every game I've tried with literally no issues. Admittedly, I had issues at first but then I switched to Pop!_OS, which has built-in support for Nvidia hybrid graphics. That solved the few gaming issues I had.

With how easy it was and how many games work with no issues, I'm genuinely surprised to hear people say they are having issues with it. I'm not even close to a linux expert. I'm not a programmer. I don't want my OS to be a hobby, I want it to just work. And so far it has.

Dark Souls and souls games in general. But the difficulty is just half of it. I have beaten hard games before. The problem is that everything is so bleak I can't even feel motivated to try. I'll do a thing only for some NPC to go "it doesn't matter, everything is pointless and you're so insignificant". Inevitably being spoiled I know that even the single optimistic NPC is not getting it great. Y'all can mope, I'm gonna put my effort where it's appreciated.

You might want to try Lies of P. All of the highlights of Dark Souls combat and if you play your cards right pretty much every NPC gets a happy ending.

It's free on Game Pass right now too, if you have that.

I just might. Some fights were infuriating but so was Hollow Knight and I love that game. As long as the conclusion makes it worth it.

The farewell Chapter in Celeste. I really don't know how to do that room with the three dash activated blocks surrounded by spikes.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

It's funny I know exactly the room you're talking about lol

I managed to do farewell in 29:30, flying through the chapter is so liberating after being stuck in every room
