Have you ever quit a game because you felt it was too hard or unfair? Things like RNG, enemy patterns, etc.

I quit Underrail when I got to depot A because it was balanced around savescumming. Low/average perception characters get instaggibed by frag mines and the only way to deal with them is to either have high perception (thus gimping your combat capability) or savescum. I thought this was terrible design and I didn't play any further.

I'm not a computer.
I never managed to catalog every possible situation you can find yourself in during combat, and I never managed to work out the proper response to every situation, and my execution isn't tight enough to execute the proper response in the tiny window that I'm given. That's probably the only game that's ever kicked my ass so hard.

Yes. You try getting shackled to a tree for four seconds or crit 4 times in a row and see how you like it.

Bitching about a genre I'll never touch again aside, I really wanted to like Nuclear Throne, but it kinda falls into the old roguelike problem where 90% of your runs are determined by getting a good weapon or passive, then not having specific areas (namely bosses) spawn with shitty no-cover terrain.

Overwatch, It remained 50/50 RNG spin even on competitive, It's still luck dependant if you are a solo player, and honestly I don't like to need a group of people to enjoy a videogame.
Fun for the first 15 hours, the next 15 were just stale, and that's it out, Atleast League feels less cancerous on rankeds these days with all the shitters moving into overwatch.
2 days after competitive release and I already was able to hit d1, Been struggling to get there for 3 weeks.

>>343743807
nope. bad luck is if you run significantly below expectation over a long period of time or events. luck is if you run significantly above it. for example out of 100.000 situations in which you had a 85% chance to hit you only hit 75%.

Cyber sleuth the great challenge on hard mode.
My whole team stats were maxed out, but the boss could always act first with like 10 turns and he could wipe my whole team with just 1-2 attacks even though I made a team that specifically did double damage and received half damage against him.

Best example of cheating AI. At one point I intentionally had to make mistakes so my opponent had to make the only possible move on the board and that move would put him into a disadvantageous position.
If you lost focus for a second, the AI would chain your sorry ass for 100% hp.

Hiding 3/4 of the systems in the game and then punishing you from not knowing them is bullshit. I know lots of people love the last remnant for how complex it is, but there was no reason whatsoever to not tell the players and expect them to find out through years of trial and error.

Nothing else as far as I can remember. I only ever drop games if they are boring. I like a challenge, except if it gets unfair or you have to abuse RNG.

But then I can't get a perfect parry which is required later on for boss.

Like Monsoon some of his attacks don't glow red and then he'll follow up with another attack.

the forced 50 shit in overwatch depresses the fuck out of me. I'd have so much more fun without that shit. The loot boxes are disgusting too. level 40 and 1 legendary skin that i can't stand for a character I rarely use.

I'm sure there are others but one that comes to mind is dragon ball xenoverse. had loads of fun making my original character and beating the story but then got so fed up with the RNG drops that I never touched it again. That and the fact that my favorite attack, Yamcha's wolffang fist, was in the game but they made it "DLC". Fuck that shit. I'm not paying a dime for something that I bought the base game for.


dropped a couple runs of pokemon due to impossibly bad luck either killing me off in a nuzlocke or just pissing me off. 8 hours straight of trying to catch fucking zapdos after putting it to sleep, false swiping it, and using ultra balls until it struggled itself to death over and over and over. I even held A+B at just the right time. Then my faggot friend catches one in his playthrough first try.

>>343751475
Agreed. Upon finding out the DLC is just another vapid grind I uninstalled it.

Blizzard can literally get fucked. I haven't touched that shit since. I've never seen a company make such an incredibly blatant attempt to fuck their players in the ass before.

That was the real slap in the face for D3, if you ask me, not the bastardization. It was like trying to play a tabletop game against a DM who is dead fucking set on railroading you in the most vindictive way possible. I wouldn't be surprised if their next step was literally "rocks fall you die" if you try to actually farm gear without using the RMAH.
