ITT: game is fun until >that mission

I'll start with stronghold's "carving a path".

As a kid I didn't speak English well and from what I understood at the time was that the goal was to cross through the castle and to the swamp. I could easily achieve that, but was tearing my fucking hair out when the mission refused to end because i didn't kill all the garrison. My uncle just beat it for me one day while I was at school.

Best part is you get to fight through this funhouse again in later mission

any sewer level in a Japanese game

Homoworld 2 mission 3
Fucking only beat that shit years later when /v/ told me where the god damn probes are.

>enemies start to use Blaze 3 and Freeze 3
Game was fun while it lasted.
And it's only in the fucking western version.
Jap version has things set to their normal values.

SFCD also uses the normal values, but rebalances both enemies and allies so it's not quite the same as the game gear version.

If you're that bad, how did you manage to get past the tutorial mission?

>that fucking mission

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

I wanted to finish that game so bad, I only ever played the sandbox when I was a kid and was nostalgian on it, then started playing the campaign and found that there was more to Stronghold, and that it was pretty good

It's still installed, just sitting there and mocking me

There's a catapult exploit you can use to level all the towers and gates. It works better on the second mission of this map though, since the first has a fucking time limit....

Never in my years have i heard of such a thing. Please enlighten me, anon.

>>318259254
That goddamn mission is "game is fun until >that mission" the post.

I remember succumbing to some really retarded exploit where you put the game on speed 90 and abused the tiny extra range you get with archers when you use the Attack Ground, and slowly withering the enemy arrow by arrow, minute by minute, while I wondered WHO THE FUCK DESIGNED SUCH A MOTHERFUCKING SHITTY MISSION

The submarine base sucks dick. In deus ex.
The fade in dragon age, first time it was really fun though.

You're a fucking casual who shouldn't be playing driving games if you can't master this mission. They even included a shortcut for absolute morons.

I must be the only one who really, really liked this race, independently from how horrendously hard it was. The setting is absolutely beautiful, they completely nailed the look and feel of a classic monoposto race.

With their Sanchezes and faggot cars.

You can do this mission with 1 minute and 30 seconds to spare. Just do the top one first and work top to bottom.

Played Stronghold Crusader as a kid and I couldn't get past "An Old Friend" mission with the pig. The mission was something I wasn't used to, because the Pig had an advantage over me and i was so close, that it fucked up my usual style of playing.

Is this Dragon Age Origins? I also hated this...
>>
>>318259254
That's the one where you have to storm that massive castle with not enough troops?

Yeah, that mission is brutal. I don't think I ever won that with more than like two or three guys left.

I always loved that the game was based on defense solely, and then they throw that piece of shit mission in. I'd like to play that game through again, but I won't do it solely because of that mission.

There's not even any cheats to get around that shit. Fuck that.

>>318267214
I honestly have no clue what you're talking about. When I played this game 10 years ago I sure as hell didn't get anything like that.

Too spooky or what? Father Gregory was the highlight of the game for me.

mission is pretty easy but this approach is retarded. you don't have to return the heli after the last bomb so it makes no sense to go top first, leave the longest trip for last

Daily reminder pic related is by far the best bridge between two video games, I actually had to stop playing Mafia 2 for a few good hours when I got to this part.

Yeah, if I'm gonna be completely honest, I think I cried a little bit when I first beat mafia.
The ending is fucking gutwrenching, you get so connected to the PC!

I played Mafia like seven times most of them in combo with a friend. He did the shooting, I drove. That was still the hardest part.
>>
>>318271375
The problem with the fade if you replay it is that you cant just stick with the main parts since then you toss away the tasty extra stats. Also you have to constantly backtrack to use the other forms

Played this on the PC, he was alright, I remember him being a bitch sometimes but really later on in the game there is the Hydra who is a fucking monster and a Pegasus level near the end-game... My god.
Great game.
