Well, more video game related frustration coming up. This time, not so much from trying over and over, but from losing a lot of progress in one fell swoop. I'm sure many of you can relate.
So, yesterday I was playing Persona 4, great game, and I really love it, and I had gotten to a certain point in the story where, without spoiling too much, the faeces had hit the proverbial fan. In other words: "It just got real!"
Naturally, I was quite excited about this, and just had to keep playing for a little while longer. I proceeded through the dungeon, higher and higher. The enemies in the area were tough, but nothing I couldn't handle. I was starting to run low on energy, however, so I thought to myself: "Just go to the next floor and then teleport back to the entrance, same procedure as always." That was the plan, anyway.
I ran into yet another group of enemies, and was close to defeating them all. But, as I saw how little health he had left, I neglected healing myself to try to finish him off quickly. Big mistake. One more hit would have killed him, and my attack... missed. I could only look on in despair as he wiped me out with a powerful spell, and I recalled the last time I had saved. "No." I said. "I am not playing this game again for a few days."
But somehow, I know I probably will. Because no matter how cruel it may get, no matter how far back I get pushed, I always grit my teeth and plod on. No matter how much I rage against the game, I always seem to come back to it before long. I guess that's a sign that the game is really good.
Well, we'll see how it goes. Until next time, have a good day!
Awesome post.
ReplyDeleteInteresting concept.
Check me out.
Followed, brother
You should try Super meat boy, for more frustrations :)

ReplyDeleteI love when moments like this happen. Great write up.
ReplyDeleteHate it when such things happen.
ReplyDeleteSounds frustrating lol!
ReplyDeletethat's harsh...
ReplyDeletei still remember when i played pokemon gold/silver and i accidentally defeated the red gyarados with one hit...and my last save was too long ago.
I think that's the sign of a truly special game. You just can't stop playing :)
ReplyDeleteNo, do NOT try Super Meat Boy! It will drive you maaaaaad.
ReplyDeleteMan that sounds so frustrating!
ReplyDeleteI know this feeling >.>
ReplyDeleteI know this feeling all too well, just last year my xbox froze in the middle of saving on Assassin's Creed 2, I had played it for about 4 or 5 hours straight and it corrupted the save file. I have countless stories like this, but no matter what I always continue playing. I wonder if that's a bad thing haha.
ReplyDeleteWe have all been there with the forget to save or get way too cocky syndrome. And this is why I don't play RPG's anymore. :P
ReplyDeletePersona 4 is just ridiculous.
ReplyDeleteyou do not play it safe!
ReplyDeleteAt this point I just force myself to quit and take a breather.
ReplyDeleteHa reminds me of when I first got FO3, the autosave screwed me right up to the point I died as soon as it loaded. New game :(.
ReplyDeleteawesome post dude. followed!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds so frustrating.
ReplyDeletePersona 4, I'll check it out. later that is =P
ReplyDeleteNever played, but I hate when I lose my progress.
ReplyDeletehaha, funny story, brilliant
ReplyDeleteSuper Meat Boy will crush your soul.
ReplyDeleteThats harsh man.
ReplyDeleteIt's even worse when you think you've been auto-saved a few minutes before and you realise you've been spawned 30 minutes backwards into the game -.-
ReplyDeleteI do this a lot and it drives me nuts. Forget to save and you take a gamble on a sure thing, but nope, you dead.
ReplyDeleteyup it actually did happen
ReplyDeleteI don't know the game, but I am stocked for Diablo III.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to more!
ReplyDeleteyup. it happened lol
