Games which are so difficult..You genuinely needs Walkthrough's and Cheats?

Operation Flashpoint was just hard, and a wlakthrough could not help you.

I was mad enough to play Myst, and got completley stuck.

Half-Life on easy, I needed GodMode...

Those damn head crabs!

Because i dont play many CP games

the only games i have used cheats on is Warcraft ANd Warcraft frozen throne just cause i wanted to be able to get done with that campaign or particular battle lol

Had to look at a guide to do one of the puzzles in Grim Fandango.

Can't remember which one though. :?

FF8 on the P.C...

Some of the things would have been impossible to know without a walkthough. Playing that game in Software mode on the P.C you couldn't see some of the things on the ground.

And Gabrial Knight.... Near the end in the catacombes some of the things to do were impossible to know (for me anyway).

The only game that comes to mind is the starcraft broodwars expansion, or the last two levels to be more precise. I tried those so many times, using different tactics, but I just sucked at playing the zerg I guess. I ended up using a god-mode cheat or something like it, to finally complete the game.

Harvey Birdman for the Wii, and alot of the old Lucas Arts adventure games. They would just have one obscure comment or thing that you had to do exactly right.

It was more fun watching the dialog progress than it was repeatedly failing to find the one thing to make me advance, so I used walkthroughs on many of those.

I thought Riven was worse.

I thought Riven was worse.

Definitely a lot of adventure games. The logic in these games is a little off, it's not like you can figure most of them out through wit or intelligence, mostly just trial and error. BlueBirdTS

Have you ever tried the Myst games? Absolutely everything in them (with the exception of a few puzzles in Myst IV) can be solved through logic and intuition.

Not in several years have I cheated. Used to have em memorized for vice city and GTA 3. Definately still have a gameshark for my psx. Only time I ever beat Emerald Weapon was with the instant attack/auto limit combination using meteora, didn't even need the underwater materia. Still never beat Ruby. That later evolved mostly into a hex editor for FFT so I could have all sorts of exotic party members and multiple copies of the best items in the game.

I don't recall ever having to cheat in order to actually beat any game though, usually just to make my play easier.

edit: I take that back, the only time I ever beat contra I had used the extra lives cheat.

adventure games in general.Hewkii

Almost all adventure games I've played, I referred to a guide at some point.

omg contra is hell.

Try beating La-Mulana (amazing freeware game) without a walkthrough. I dare you.

It's possible, just not probable.

Broken Sword. I remembered having trouble with that evil goat.shalashaska88

OMG yes!... I remember that too well.

I did figure it out in the end, but it must of taken two whole days of playing. :x :|

[QUOTE="rcignoni"]Myst.DarKre

this.

Myst 4 was the first in the series that I needed a walkthrough for.

That game was rediculous!

Too many adventure games to mention..Also I recently got disgusted with Diablo 2..Killed Mephisto and for some reason didn't get credit for the quest....ttomm1946

This is from an article Yahtzee Croshaw wrote in PC Gamer:

"Lately, I find myself at a loss to explain exactly how adventure games are fun. I would previously have said something about the satisfaction of having your logical thinking rewarded, but really, logic rarely had much to do with it. Why can't we use the bamboo stick to pester the sleeping cat on the high shelf, as would logically work? Because the designer intended you to use the policeman's disembodied arm, that's why, and the bamboo stick is needed to mollify the rabid panda two hours from now, not that you'd know that.

Frequently it comes down to you hoarding useless trinkets like a crazy homeless woman with a shopping trolley, shuffling from room to room, waving your pointer around looking for a hotspot, then throwing every single one of your trinkets at it until something good happens while your character drones 'THAT DOESN'T WORK,' ad nauseum...Maybe I've been corrupted by instant gratification to the point that I can no longer concentrate on anything that doesn't OOH LOOK SOMETHING SHINY..."

Sounds all too familiar.:roll:
