What are some parts of videogames that stopped your progress as a kid (or as an adult) Holla Forums ?
The Forest temple in OoC killed little me. I couldn't figure out what to do with the poe sisters and I was to autistic to advance.
Those plane training missions in GTA:SA just made me ragequit. I got through the annoying rc mission and the "ALL YOU HAD TO DO WAS FOLLOW THE DAMN TRAIN" mission with ease, but to this day I just don't fuck with the plane training missions.
When I was a kid, I was a cowardly little faggot. Those lizafos in Dodongo's Cavern stopped me from progressing because I was too afraid to actually attack them. I thought that they'd gang up on me, so I hid undearneath the metal shield like a god damned turtle and just watched in horror. Then, I realized I could attack one at a time and the other would just sit patiently and wait for its turn to take a few sword slices to the face. Before that, in LTTP the Goriya scared the fuck out of me. They'd only move when I moved, and I just thought that was the most terrifying shit I'd ever seen. I eventually grew out of my cowardice and completed the games, but damn if I don't remember how horrifying an experience vidya was for my young self.
Were you playing on a PC with a keyboard and mouse?
In Broken Sword 2, you're at a film set somewhere in the last third.of the game. There's something or other involving a shitty, hard bun, a bush, and hornets. I was so sure you just had to throw the bun in the bush, but it didn't work.
Sure enough, I was in fact right, you just had to throw the bun, ask for another one, and repeat. That was so counterintuitive me and my mom were stuck on this for the better part of a week.
yes
I remember having a lot of trouble with many games back in the day because my TV was so shitty I literally couldn't see where to go. Pre-rendered backdrops specifically were a nightmare.
Forest Temple in OoT had me stumped. There was a vine wall to your right that blended in with the background if you had a shitty TV. Took me for fucking ever to notice it and get the key.
I never got bombs or into anywhere that required them in OoT because nobody in my family (that played the game) understood english. I don't think any one of us even knew that you could play as an adult link. We played the game a shitton despite that fact.
I don't think I ever got into Click Clock Wood in Banjo Kazooie. I vaguely remember failing to interact with the puzzle, we thought you'd need special wooden puzzle pieces to complete it.
It's cliche as fuck at this point, but it's true this stumped me for over a year as a lad and I had the fucking official guide book. Also, not a puzzle but i remember getting stuck and really frustrated with the pic related boss fight pretty funny because replaying the HD rerelease as an adult the game is piss fucking easy, kids truly are little retards.
this whole fucking game
only time I ever had to buy a strategy guide (didn't have internet at the time)
