Most stressful game?

😐

That reminds me of when I was trying to get the Couple's Mask from Anju and Kafei (last mask I needed for FD Mask). Long story short, it took five tries before I talked to my friend, who said I had to wait for Kafei to come. I kicked my own ass thoroughly that night.

Anyway, two games that gave me a lot of anger as a kid were Jet Force Jemini and Star Fox 64. The saving grace was that I ultimately beat both games. That, and I still loved those games to God-Damn-Death.

command and conquer tiburium wars. Its hard for me to be a computer ai on normal, i cant even imagin it on brutal.

Nah, they're just on very hard or whatever the hardest diffculty is.

And I just looked at the replay. It a 4-player FFA and Iwas Orcz, they were Space Marines, and there were 2 Imperial Guard AI's.

Both myself and the SM kill our two Imperial Gaurd neigthbors and we both own around half of the map's Req. locations ( I think I own a bit more), and he bumrushes me with, hang on:

2 Terminator Squads
1 Assault Terminator Squad
1 fully reinforced squad of Tactical space marines with rocket launcher upgrades
1 Dreadnought
2 Predator Tanks
1 Force Commander
1 Chaplain
1 Land Raider

I barely manage to destroy all of that by micro'ing with some wartruks, rocket boys, big mek, warboss and two squads of flash gits with a mad dok and one squad of storm boyz.

Not even six minutes later, I'm not kidding you, six minutes later he attacks me with damn near the same force, completely rebuilt, and even manages to relay-drop a dreadnought. Wiped me out utterly.

This isn't the first time it's happened, and it pisses me off every time. I can win 1 vs. 1 easy because I can rush him and destroy him before he can tier up, but SM's get any time to tier up my poor Boyz don't stand a chance.

I might try adding some Squiggoths to my forces for damage soak.

Rome: Barbarian invasion. Trying to play as the Sarmatians. Basically you have 3 turns to build up your forces (one unit per turn)before the Mongolians attack you with 5 armies, each one at least 2 possibly 3 times the size of all your troops put together. I tried it 3 times and the best I could do was beating 2+1/2 armies before getting wiped out each time.
It was a dark day.

Also, trying to beat my brother when he used Gon on Tekkan 3, and trying to beat my friend when he used Emma Frost on X-men 1.

The Original Marathon Game:

It's like srsly hard without going on the internet to look up a walkthrough. The really bad thing is, the game is DARK!

If you are not using the AI mod then the onyl challenge you are getting there is the ludicrous amount of extra resources the computer gets on those levels.

Get the Dawn of Skimish AI mod. Seriously, this is not a fringe thing. it is considered essential equipment for a DoW player. Then put it on Hard (where the enemy has 1-1 resources to you) and play proper games.

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed comes to mind when talking about stress. It took me a week and a half to beat it. The camera kept killing me.

...Is a week and a half a long time to play a game?

If you're not a loser, yeah.

Mod's don't work on my Dawn of War, perhaps because it's an illegal copy. Dunno.

Starfox 64 is still one of my favorite N64 games.

Have you even played Force Unleashed? The camera work was F'ing horrible. It killed you more than the enemies would...if you could find them. Waste of time. Thank Christ I only rented it.

I just took it at a comfortable pace, exploring the levels and finding secrets. When I finished after two weeks, it felt pretty fulfilling to me.

Yeah, it wasn't the camera that made TFU annoying. It was more the fact that the game was severely unbalanced. But even that only made certain sections difficult.

the only frustrating thing about TFU, imo, was those damn half walker half stormtrooper thingies. they were so cheap...
