Not being able to actually beat a boss, but that was moreso when I was younger. |

One of my primary --- Quote from: triggerhappymonk on February 09, 2020, 04:47:07 pm ---my breaking point is when you try 20 times in a row to beat a single mission and can't beat it for 1 reason or another. dukes of hazzard racing for home for the ps1 has a mission where you have to follow Black Jack Parel and I never could get to the end of the stage. --- End quote --- I'm usually the same way with my games, that is why I don't like movie based video games, or platformer's or RPG's for the most part. My most recent breaking point was playing "Spiro: The Year Of The Dragon" for the PlayStation 1. on either the 2nd or 3rd skateboarding section, where you need to maneuver a Tony Hawk game like skate park. On a skateboard, with no way to slow down and stop the skateboard, and on top of that you need to do spinning trick on a bunch of half pipes without making a single mistake, one mistake you you need to do the whole thing over. this skate park is full of crap to run into, and mess your up plus their is a timer AND you need to jump high and land all the while your moving on a skateboard without breaks to prevent you from crashing into the wall. |

I hate any game with the need to solve puzzles with that require a walkthrough or strategy guide in order to get past I ran across a few in some PC games I've played. I can't stand most platforming video games. Because most of them have a chance limit and if you use all up your chances or lives or continues you need to start the entire game over. If you're lucky, some games will let your start from a level through a save point. or even better, a checkpoint, or even better a save state!! I also cuss and swear at games that require fast reflexes, or games that back me into a corner and don't give me a chance to fight back |

I don't think that I have a time frame for a breaking point with a game. Hell, if the Uncharted 2/3 servers were back up or if the PS4 collection had the multiplayer, I'd still be playing those after hundreds of hours. My breaking point is when I discover that I'm not having fun and won't have fun. I get rid of it at that point, but I'll give it a second chance after a break. Best example of this would be Zelda Skyward Sword. The motion controls were just absolutely horrible for me. I got to the first "boss" fight and couldn't beat him. I took about a year long break after mass frustration. Came back to it and beat the guy. I got a few more dungeons in and stopped caring about the game. I wasn't having fun and didn't care to finish it. The game essentially ruined me on Nintendo for the rest of the Wii's lifespan and the entire Wii-U lifespan. |

I can beat that part of a game when I come back to it, usually. Sometimes we all need to stop playing a video game that is frustrating us and go back to it later. :) That will save some of us money on a new controller or console :P |
