What difficult games/game challenges did you give up on?
Be it a game that's difficult in its entirety, or a particular challenge in a game that you just couldn't complete.
For me, there are three that come to mind:
Super Hostile: Waking Up (Minecraft Custom Map, Hard difficulty). That damn water section...
Terraria Zenith Mode. Coming from someone to whom Master Mode is fairly easy, this was rough.
Calamity Death Mode (Terraria). I beat DoG (this was back when a headshot was an automatic death), but I just could not click with the Yharim fight. I also think burnout was at play here because that was a LONG playthrough.
A lot of puzzle games, especially ones by Zachtronics. Eventually I get to a point where my brain just can’t keep up and at that point I consider it done.
Zachtronics games are hard. Every once in a while I try going back to beat Spacechem but I'll just hit a wall, noodle with it for a few days and just sort of run out of motivation.
Yes! For most genres of games, I've noped out of some games but completed others. It wasn't until you mentioned it that I realized I've never completed a Zachtronic game. I absolutely adore what Witness was doing, but I haven't finished it. I should go back to it.
