No Man's Sky.
REM reference was ace.
How about Arcade's Revenge on GB?! 😂
Tiger handhelds for sure. The artwork on those things always fooled you to play them again
For me it was Maniac mansion on the NES I tried to get into it but I couldn't also I had arcades revenge too but it was a Sega Genesis version you are right that shit is hard especially that storm level you're right Ian they did her dirty.
I never forced myself to like a game, but I have forced myself to play one. I loved Assassin's Creed Origins and Odyssey. Now, I'm playing Valhalla, and it's boring as hell. Nowhere near as good as the other two. But, I'm playing it for the platinum trophy, like I got for the other two, and to finish it, just to see where it goes.
Arcades revenge was impossible.
I played for hours after school just to have a x-men/spidey game to play.
More "recent" games- Fallout 2 or 3. I really tried. Final fantasy 2 comes to mind. Also all the metal gear games. I know they're all great. I just don't like 'em.
Too Human, one of my favorite bad games.
O wow good call Ian yea I'm no fan of 1st person shooters not named Goldeneye set on License To Kill, Pistols only, I believe the stage is called the library or bunker. The one with the room full of pillars. Had so many intense moments down in that damned hole.
I tried to like Breath of The Wild… but I'm sorry that game sucks so goddamn much, it's boring. The combat is almost completely pointless, puzzles are uninspired, the God awful weapon durability system to force variety on you instead of just making enemies more susceptible to different weapon types, the story may be good, but the game is such a bore to play through that the story is moote.
I rage quit Arcades Revenge so many times. I could beat all the Spider-Man, Wolverine and Gambit levels. But Cyclops and Storm broke me.
As a kid I would say The Pagemaster on the SNES was one I played a bunch of because it was a game we got for Christmas and I was giving it a chance.
“According to a certain NES guidebook.”
Lmao at Ian’s face when Pat says that Star Wars Galaxies was a real time strategy game from the late 90s when it definitely was an MMO from early to mid 2000s
For me it's Gunsmoke on the NES, as I did enjoy the game in the limited time I played at a friend's house, but when I bought it I started hating the game's difficulty, but it was the kind of addictive difficulty that I ploughed through and still love the game today.
Shaq-Fu
Spiderman 3 (PS2)
Killzone (PS4)
Dead Island
Mario Hoops 3 on 3 (DS)
The Ripping Friends (GBA, loved the adult cartoon though the game itself sucked)
I tried to force myself to like Resident Evil 4 & 5. Tried more than once to get into them. By the time I played them, I had already played Dead Space and I just couldn’t get past the “stop, hold still, aim, and shoot” mechanics. I was so used to being able to move while aiming and shooting that it really took the enjoyment out of trying to play them. I did enjoy watching the stories the games told here off YouTube.
Ian is such a Juggernaut.
Festers quest. Got it for Christmas
If my memory serves me correctly, I'd rented Xmen Mutant Apocalypse around the time it was released and I was smashing buttons on my controller at the title screen and it unlocked some kind of cheat code, like more/unlimited lives (can't remember exactly what it was) and I tried desperately to recreate it so I could send it into EGM, but to no avail.
To this day, I've never seen the cheat code I found published anywhere.
I really tried to like MDK because of all the hype, then I said F….K IT!, what is this crap?
I tried to Force myself to like The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct. Fun Fact. I asked Michael Rooker if they (him and Norman Reedus) were pissed off about how that game turned out? He said HELL YEAH WE WERE PISSED OFF! It had so much potential and it turned out to be. Quickie cash grab.
Muppet Adventure
I tried so hard to like 7th Saga. I had just finished FFIII and wanted more.
Star Wars Rogue Squadron 3: Rebel Strike. I really wanted to like it because Rogue Squadron 2 is one of my all-time favorite games but especially with all the clunky on foot missions it was just an average not so great game. The other is MVP Baseball 2004. 2005 is amazing and fixed everything wrong with 2004 but the left-handed batter glitch, right handed hitters being able to hit ungodly homers, and other unpolished ball physics that were fixed the next year it was not very good. For retro games and being forced to try to like stuff because I didn't have a job would be Bart vs the Space Mutants. I tried to like it but yeah it sucked. Robocop on NES. Same thing.
Fighting Masters, Megadrive !! Had too, I paid £45 in 91!!!
Super Mario Kart N64 and the Pacman GameCube racing game.. I forced myself to try and like them cuz my ex and her friends loved them. Those were their favorite games so we played them often. def not my kind of racers 😳
that one zelda game on ds i would've loved it if it werent for those fucking stylus controls that ruined it for me
I hated the motion control garbage that they did with Mario Galaxy, I'm glad they have it on the switch with normal controls.
I tried to like donkey kong 64. It was so expensive and it just wasnt that good. It was alright but I really wanted to like it as much as banjo and it was just nowhere near as good.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Ian wore a Will and Grace shirt.
