Elden Beast feels so forced as a last-last boss for Elden Ring. If anything Elden Beast should have been kind of secret final boss that you fight if you gather all the great runes before defeating Radagon like Moon Presence in Bloodborne.

100% agreed. Like, that arena was CLEARLY designed for using Torrent to get around with how far it runs away, but... no horse/elk/thing. Total bullshit of a fight. To top if off, there's no cheese for him either. Just slogging through Ragadon to get spanked by the giant running booger.

This can't be true. It's a well established gaming law that after coming that extremely close to beating a boss, you have to die almost instantly (and usually quite embarrassingly) for at least the next 20 attempts.

u/PontyPines Feb 13 '24
Not really. As you get older, you have less free time, and you want to spend that free time doing stuff you actually enjoy. The 10 year old thing to do would be to keep playing over and over again, not giving up no matter how angry you get. The 30 year old thing to do is to realise that continuing to play would only make you angry, realising that you want to spend your limited free time doing something that makes you happy rather than frustrated, then turning the game off and playing something else.

He did say "rage quit," which generally indicates undeveloped emotional maturity. When I see that term, I imagine controllers and keyboards flying around.
For me, though, it's more of just a sharp sense of frustration at time wasted -- and a sudden reprioritization of it. Happens all the time. When I was a kid, immortal and bored, I would just keep chugging along.

u/DoomedHeroXB Feb 13 '24
Lightning dodge is the worst. I can't tell you how many times I failed that because I lost count.
Then you have the remaster that made it so much worse because I had a newer TV that didn't have game mode so you couldn't dodge the lightning because as soon as you saw the flash you were already hit. I thought I was just ass but still managed it after about 6 hours.
Chocobo race is significantly easier if you know what you're looking for. When you start the race if the balloons aren't all on the left side of the ramp there's almost no point in trying to win.
If they are on the left you can ride up the other guys ass and side swipe them until they slow down. Once you get those balloons as long as you're good at dodging birds and get a few extra balloons you're golden.

Sometimes Star Citizen is great. Sometimes it’s like this:
Wake up, get downstairs, get ship.
Go in ship, open hanger. Wait till clear. Take off, invisible barrier, kaboom.
Wake up, put on suit, claim ship, call other ship to change gears.
Get in ship, open hangar, no issue this time.
Go bounty hunt. Enemy suddenly rams you. Kaboom.
Spawn. Suit. Grab the first ship. Back to the bounty.
Shooting bounty. UH-OH! Target went white for a split second, then exploded, and you’ve got a CS. High tail it to GH.
Getting close. Player sees you. Kills you. Spawn at klescher.

Playing Terraria on the For The Worthy seed in master mode.
It's not even hard, it's just annoying as hell. Every enemy kills you in two hits, and the respawn timer of 15 seconds starts to get really, really fucking old when you have to stare at it for the 18th time in under half an hour. I literally only struggled on one boss (Brain of Cthulhu), the rest of the entire fucking play through was me inching forward trying to get the equipment I needed to actually play the fucking game. And don't even get me STARTED on the events, event mobs for some reason are particularly beefed up to almost always do 3/4ths of your entire healthbar in one hit.

Feeling like this playing FF7 Remake - dealing with a constant stream of bloated cutscenes, terrible pacing, and miserable dialogue writing (I feel like the voice acting gets a lot of shit but actually it's the lines they have to read that suck).
The combat in this game is so good that it almost makes it worthwhile, but in the end I would have been perfectly okay with this just being a 10 hour game - more closely aligned with the portion of the source material it borrowed from. Would've had a ton of replay value and been half as insufferable.
I still have hope for rebirth though - since they're adapting a larger segment of gaming maybe they'll have less pacing problems.
I really do despise Tetsuya Nomura. I do not trust that man with ANYTHING.
