Not really, I'd just keep trying to look for a way to get past those parts, and then kick myself because the solution turned out to be so simple. xD
I think that games these days aren't hard at all. Infinite continues? I much prefer the long-lost days of three lives to try and get a high score, and then you have to go back to the start.


hell no those days of gaming were hell on earth for me, if you can game like a damn pro then fine, but for someone who does what they can to scrape by then i imagine hell couldn't be much worse then having to start a game from scratch after putting days of effort into it.

i perfer newer games compared to that system. if gaming goes back to the screw the casual gamers style i'm retiring, because i have no hope.
To beat most of the old games, all you needed was practice. And patience. Especially for games like Contra: Hard Corps and Maximum Carnage.


and i have none, i don't expect to dominate my games but i'm not going to go through dying 100 times on 1 level till i can get past it. in other words saves were made for people like me. i learn my games but not as a grueling and tedious experiance.

besides not being able to react well in a game hurts overall gaming ability, which means i can't block or dodge in any game, or pull off complex combos with ease.

it was tough learning the controls for infamous alone.

but if i die to much in a game the short fuse i have runs out very fast and i end up throwing controllers in pure rage and frustration. i can get through a game without cheating but not without alot of rage outbursts, swearing and whatnot that i wind up doing.

if i had an older console still it would be trashed by now, from outrages alone.

and most guys think only they get destructive with gaming consoles, i'm a girl that can say i went through 2 ps2 controllers already. i think it is pure luck alone that i haven't thrown my handhelds yet.

my third ps2 controller is next on the list of controllers i have broken, ps3 ones seem to hold up better. i haven't thrown wii remotes but i whipped my gamecube ones a good many times. they are the best in durability that i have used yet.

Which save system do you prefer - fixed saves or quicksaves? Or does it depend on the game?

Haha, wow, I'm a girl too, but I've never gotten so enraged to the point where I tried to break one of my video game controllers, the only time they'd break is if I used them too much over and over again. These days, I'm not even obsessed with playing video games until I beat them, I literally don't have the patience and the time to try and get through challenging games that I can't beat. If I get stuck at a point, I just stop playing and give up automatically because I don't want to get enraged and destroy my game systems or controllers, not when i've payed so much for them, it's not worth it.

fixed saves i perfer more because quick saves get deleted as soon as you load them, autosaves are my favorite the ones that save automaticly and don't get erased when you load them.

i have mod for fallout 3 that saves my game every few minutes because i can get to a point in a game where i become a bulldozer, at that point i don't stop for nothing. so i have a hard time remembering to save on my own.

like dissidia's save system is my fav yet, it saves after every change you make, which is good for my short temper.

i get pissed if i even lose a few minutes of game progress.

to Gothic85Cat
yeah i get freaking pissed at my games, i have i call my gaming mode which is like jeckel and hyde thing, on my games i'm angry violent and i have no patience for anything that disrupts my concentration.

once i get off the game i go back to normal almost instantly.

yeah flinging 50$ ps3 controllers isn't to bright, but if i don't get my rage out then and there i take out on the first living breathing thing i see. which would most likely be my cat. so i see it as better the controller take the abuse then my kitty. i wouldn't forgive myself if i hurt her.

but my two ps2 controllers weren't broken by simply being thrown and they did get thrown alot, but i grip the controller to the point that the screws get stripped, i can tell my current one is getting there, when i mess around with it i can hear the parts creaking.

most seem to have a hard time holding a controller i have the opposite problem, i grip the controllers to hard. i don't even use the wii remote strap at all and if it does get thrown it is because i did it on purpose. my wii remote will fall apart from screw stripping before it ever flies out of my hands.

i went to gamestop once asking, what is the most durable ps2 controller they had. i got a few odd looks. ^^; maybe my bro can do some jerry rigging to it make it last longer.

Haha, when I get enraged, I usually feel like beating the crap out of someone close by but I never fall through on that feeling, instead I more just draw scary pictures, write dark poetry, take long ass walks all by myself, or listen to Goth Metal music, i've never once broke any of my game systems on purpose because I was enraged at a game, lol.
If I'm enraged at a game because I can't beat it, I'd rather shut the damn thing off and stop playing just to take a breather and relax so I don't get any more madder than I already am, my old Action Replay DS is so old and I've used it way too much that it's literally starting to stop working properly, especially with cheats, I'm thinking I should try to use my Action Replay DSi, which I've only had for a year and a half so it's not so old, but, like I said, I just stop playing my games all together if I can't beat them, that way I can prevent myself from getting to the point of breaking my game system or controllers.

i never get violent mostly because i get it out by throwing the controller, but if anything i don't hit the console with the controller. i always aim away from the system. :)

Yeah, that's a good idea, lol, I've finally gotten the cheats to work on my DS for Pokemon: Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Darkness, well, more like, I used my Action Replay DSi, I figured out that if I had the money cheats on, my game would freeze at a random spot, but if I took off the money cheats my game works just fine with all the other cheats, so, I finally got further in that game, up to the point where I have to find The Hidden Land while waiting for Grovyle to collect all five Time Gears, he's gotten 3 so far, he's in the process of getting the other two, I'm glad I finally got that far in my game, and I'm glad the cheat codes finally work properly the way I need them to :)

Yeah, I've never used cheats for Kingdom Hearts 2, I've always tried to beat it the hard way, but, whenever I tried, I failed and lost so many times, which is why I haven't played it in such a long ass time, I'm so not an obsessed gamer, lol, I give up so easily if I can't beat certain games.

Oh my god, I used to be addicted to WoW, that was back when I used to own an iMac computer, I'd play from the moment I woke up to the time of going to bed except I didn't go to bed, I'd be staying up until about 7 in the morning, than getting a few hours of sleep than waking up and back onto the computer to play WoW. Since I don't own a computer anymore, I can't play WoW or even pay for my accounts/subscriptions, I haven't played WoW for a few years, I've more been playing either Pokemon, Final Fantasy, Tekken, or Tenchu.

then you know what it's like, and you know it happens. alot of times i bring up my wow addiction people tell me i'm lying. or that it was my choice, it was my choice to start playing but after a while i felt like a hostage, it was horrible. i felt like the game was controlling me.

and i'm getting to the point where i don't even like remembering that. if i think about it to much i get anzity withdrawl type attacks. and i am now grateful to my bro and fallout 3, those two helped me finally get off. and it's probably why i perfer fallout 3 over any others, it's that sentimental connection i have with it.

Yeah, I hear ya, WoW is like the slave owner to your mind, once you buy into it, you become hooked and you can't get away from it, it's ridiculous and stupid, I'm glad I don't play that game anymore, I don't ever want to get addicted to it ever again, I'd rather stick to the games I already play, they're not as addicting, lol.

yeah it's because they all end at some point, even in skyrim there is a point where you feel your done. in wow your work never ends, your always trying to be as good as the guys before you with better gear.

it's like virtual school. ugh.

Yes, exactly, it's like WoW is testing you to see if you'll pass or not, that's why they always have non playable characters sending you out on random quests just to collect certain things or just to train you when it comes to being a hunter or a Druid or a priest or a shaman, they have special training quests for those to see how well you can become one of those classes, I've always loved being a Hunter and a Druid because of the animal based stuff, like Hunters train to gain pets and they get a lot of awesome armor sets made in leather based animal skin, and with Druids, they can transform into beasts depending on the level you can gain that ability, that's why I've always liked those classes, I never liked Mage, Warlock, Priest, Shaman, Warrior, Paladin, I never liked those classes so much. But, yeah, playing WoW is like going to school all over again.

i had alot of different characters, i mostly stuck with the more durable classes, the only real magic user i had was my shaman. i had a warrior, hunter, pally, deathknight, shaman. anything with armor that was lower then chainmail i couldn't play and i tried many times.
