Any game where you got to a point in the level in which you had to make a TERRIFICLY difficult jump to continue on, and if you didnt you had to restart the entire level over.
funny story regarding that.. the first console shooter I played in years since goldeneye (Im more of a PC guy) was Halo 1 for xbox, the first time me and a friend played it I accidentally inverted my controls durring the opening sequence where you first get out of chryo-stasis and never bothered changing it back. i got used to playing that way and since then always use inverted controls on console shooters. Pc games however i use normal.
what i refer to as a beat and trade.. is a game u bought, felt compelled enough to beat it cuz u spent the money, but had so little replay value u traded it in pretty much right away. Im curios to see what games you felt fell into that category, Here re a frew of mine: Lost planet Wanted: weapons of fate Spiderman (the game for ps2 based on the first movie) x2: wolverine's revenge (notice the movie > game trend here?)
I always thought (for their time) blizzard made some bad ass cutscenes that really made the story kinda come alive... particularly in diablo 2, when it first came out.
here everyone can post any moment in any game for any platorm where all they could do is say wtf..? I'll start In cod 4 when: You line up a head-shot with a sniper rifle with stopping power and it either chooses not to register your perfectly aimed shot, or decides that getting shot in the head with a 50 caliber bullet is only slightly painful- but in no way fatal. You empty an entire P-90 clip into somebody's chest, even see the cross-hair change and hear the bullet "thwiping" sounds it makes when your shots make contact, they still live, and hit you once with a shotgun 12 feet away and you die. When you spawn in the exact same spot you just died.. or into a grenade that was cooked so you spawn then blow up, then spawn again. The fact that because of Infinity Wards new love child CoDMW2(yes i'm excited), they wont ever bother to fix the in game wall humping glitches where you can put yourself UNDERGROUND and kill people without ever being shot at. The fact that juggernaut exists at all. Snipers who use last stand just so they can make you wait an extra 10 seconds for your kill points and no helicopter for you. Paying for maps you can get for free if only you had the Pc version, but then no xbox live In bioshock when: you've researched ++ damage w/ the camera, have the damage increase on your machine gun, and are using anti-personnel rounds, but it still takes almost a whole clip to kill a spider splicer.. wtf? when you try to hack a machine- and realize early on u already **** up because you either A) needed to change out the VERY FIRST PIECE on the tube (retarted).. or B) by some anti-miracle of randomization, there was no way to hack that machine at all. Ninja gaiden 2: 3 words - Exploding Shiruken Ninjas After the fight with genshin on the airplane where you immediately afterward have to fight a giant, volcanic...prehistoric.. armadillo...?? wtf??? The entire game on hard FEAR 2 To me the whole game was garbage compared to the first.. but the ending really made it 5$ bargain bin worthy. Sonic 3 / sonic and knuckles: Special stages were evil Super sonic had to be a dragon ball Z reference... Resident Evil: Code veronica- got all the way to the last boss, didn't have the magnum, or any ammo and had to completely restart the game/
