10 Challenges That Ruined Video Games

The wild hearts scene in middle of the monster hunter part was sketchy. I saw what you've done there xD

[@nigoki0291]

Tempered monster from MHW isn't that bad,infact it's pretty common for "everyman hunters" To solo it, if you can beat the normal monster, you shouldn't have to much problem soloing tempered counterpart with few exception

[@amirjohnson1502]

Exactly it’s actually gets to the point where it’s quite easy and that’s just not from my experience

[@loongzai8132]

It's a joke I say. They put WH in between clips even.

[@JurassicMajin]

I was expecting to see monster hunter worlds endemic life collection or gold crown smallest/largest monster sizes hunted. But tempered monsters are not that much of a hassle xD

[@cyclone327]

Yeah I right there with you. Honestly I had a much harder time fighting arch tempered monster in groups then I did solo.

[@jst-one3971]

Yeah have to agree, I was thinking those or maybe extreme behemoth when it FIRST came out or even a solo fatalis hunt but tempered monsters??? Lol after you have end game gear they drop super fast.

[@amwoodco3049]

Tempered monsters are just part of the normal progression. Having put in several hundred hours in monster hunter world, I still haven't completed the gold crowns, so I figured that would be it, but saying tempered monsters are too hard (especially while showing the Great Jagrass, the easiest of them all) just shows that this author isn't putting in effort.

[@missyprime8198]

@@amwoodco3049 100% right, with my end game build I can kill the lowest level Great Jagras in about 45 seconds. Even the event special Greatest Jagras isn't too much of a hassle (the true hassle is not killing him too quick so he drops lots of gems!)

[@FireClist]

For Fable 3, the whole point of that insane decision was to make you see that your brother wasn't actually evil just forced to make the same hard decision you are now making. Your choice was either basically enslave society to produce the money in time (which your brother chose and everyone hated him for it) or just let them die happy.

[@loliverradish9818]

what i did normally is i bought the houses in millfield(i think its called) and raised the rent to the maximum so the entire budget for the army in that final battle is carried by those few rich people, while waiting long enough so i could always also just fulfill all the promises. is there like a hidden ending if you get to the battle in a certain time?

I believe that Dark link was one of the best parts of the water temple in Ocarina of Time

[@lordodin92]

I was about to say that like it's one of the best mini bosses in Zelda. And there's so many ways to deal with him other then just your sword . I dunno why some people found it ruined the game ? Like I'm a long time Zelda fan who started with oot and I actually don't mind the water temple as is I actually got more stuck in the forest temple for a long while, I didn't realise I had to push the blocks in the bottom room to spin it .

[@Bigd2k]

Um… how can a optional challenge ruin a game?

[@steppenmiller2126]

Big goron sword wrecks shadow link like WREKS

[@drmcstupidpants7366]

Dins Fire. Never gets close.

[@loving3706]

For OoT, I just went into the fight with a quarter heart left...spawned him and drank a potion to restore my health. When he spawns, he copies everything, including the amount of health you have left...then it is an easy one hit KO!

[@zachtwilightwindwaker596]

3:02 This is the uncensored version. I never had that much trouble against Dark Link. I used a Biggoron Sword to fight it.

[@Nocturnis]

While I personally suck at fighting the Arc Tempered monsters. Id hardly say thats something that "ruins" the game. In older games you had 4 ranks. Low, High, S rank, and G rank which had fights that were equivalent to the tempered fights. That's part of the fun, the challenge, and the overwhelming sense of achievment when you see onw of these world ending beasts fall to your blade. If anything its one of the big draws of the game.

[@TheOmegaDragon]

Surprised that the Sonic Frontier Pinball challenge wasn't on the list. Dark Link is one of the sub bosses I actually look forward to facing. He can be easily cheesed or you can just not lock onto him and just swing your sword.

[@awfulcasual1787]

Are you insane? The Dark Link fight was one of the absolute best fights in OoT. For as amazing as that game was, and it was (and still is) one of the best games ever, the bosses and other fights were mostly trival. The fight against Dark Link was one of the very few occasioins where you're usual bag of tricks did not work at all. You had to get clever with it, you had to try different things, and if you went through your actual bag of tricks and tried your inventory items, you'd find that the hammer guaranteed success. The only other fights in this game that provided a dynamic feeling back and forth were the skeleton dudes with the shields who would block and counterattack and the lizard dudes with daggers that would jump behind your back and stab you. Terrible call.

[@seventeencord2176]

Fable 3 was easy… but each property and raise the rent a little, every coin you make goes into repairing and buy properties. Before I was crowned king I would repair all my properties, leave the map then go back into the map and buy more properties with the money I just made… i origin thought it was going to be really difficult to get but I had like twice the amount before the crawler step foot in my land

[@toongrowner1]

I also would like to inculde Rayman legends... never put online trophies in a single player game. Pretty much ruined the game for me and could not play it for years after finally gettin the trophy.

[@Pallysilverstar]

The money if Fable 3 wasn't to pay off the big bad, it was funds to fortify, arm and train your country to survive the upcoming assault. It is also insanely easy to do if you've bought properties as you go (which I'm assuming most people do) since if your playing evil you just jack up the rent and even if your playing good you only have to lower the rent 1 tier to still get good points and money.

[@rosshendricks8902]

Fable 3 had an offline glitch where you could have more money than you knew what to do with in a pretty short amount of time, as long as you had two controllers.

[@Canadamus_Prime]

Another way to deal with Dark Link I found is to not use the lock on. It's tricky, but it throws him off.

[@tonytony8595]

I just used Dins fire till he died lol

[@HalfDemonInuyasha]

I just get Epona and then the Biggoron Sword as soon as I become an adult and, against Dark Link, just lock-on and spam stabs (the Biggoron Sword being another weapon that Dark Link won't have). A few stabs will be deflected, but more often than not, the length of the Biggoron Sword will get through and hit him, and the extra damage means you'll beat him quickly.

[@HALberdier17]

I thought that was the intended method for beating Dark Link. The fight was easy once I started doing that.

[@Canadamus_Prime]

@@HALberdier17 Probably is.

[@jacthing1]

You can also just use the hammer

[@scp2539]

3:30 fire spell and bombs have never failed me in any of their games and this is where I learned it. I must be a weird one because I loved the water temple and underwater fights from MH Tri but everyone I've talked to / played with hates them. 6:40 when this came out a bunch of people hacked the game and were giving out gold in the hundreds of millions so you could buy everything but I still couldn't beat it without losing someone.

[@dyingstar24]

The Waverider quest from Warframe Don't get me wrong, the k-drive is absolutely fun to use, but the system that tallies the points for tricks and the rail grinding system are janked and make it absolutely unfun to try and pull off the final pages of the comic you're trying to unlock

[@missyprime8198]

I'd say tempered monsters were essential in MHW, most players soon find them easy to beat. There's very few tempered monsters that truly challenge me solo. I do admit I got a tad obsessed with MHW & my Xbox save file is on 2300+ hours but I was beating tempered monsters pretty quickly (plus I have it on PC)

[@ArcaneParadise]

It’s been a while since I played OoT but I remember the two handed sword being easier to defeat Dark Link, because he doesn’t have it, and he can’t mimic you as much or you could break his blocking, something like that. It was more risk to get hit, but easier to hit him.

[@timboned5305]

I originally went with the big hammer bc why not, and it was super easy. Replayed it a few years ago, and can confirm, big ass hammer = easy mode.

[@mcurran6505]

I'm surprised the Screwball Challenge from Marvel's Spider-Man wasn't mentioned. That was the most irritating.

[@newageBoundhippie]

I already hated Taskmaster's challenges ( as well as the Miles & MJ stealth bits... )....then a friend told me about Screwball. I never got the DLCs....

[@Tysonator1000]

I managed to get that one somehow. It was rage inducing. I'd imagine beating the game on Ultimate difficulty in NG+ is much of the same.

[@dcbandit]

I'm comforted to hear that Oli Oli World's impossible missions also stumped other people. Those challenges killed the game for me, mostly when it started incorporating late game abilities I discovered by accident while completing earlier challenges. I'm a very stubborn player, so I'm used to the grind, but when it gets to be that precise, I really get frustrated. Playing with drifting problems certainly doesn't help.

[@UltimateHikikomori]

My only 2 experiences, where i got mad about trophy hunting (I'm on playstation) were on the caligula effect: overdose and VA-11 HALL-A The trophy in The Caligula Effect was about the Causality Link System, which in theory is such a good system, but in practice sooo boring.. that's why i didn't do it The trophy in VA-11 HALL-A was about a hard bullet hell level in a game, which had nothing to do with bullet hell or even skill based gameplay.

[@hackcubit9663]

The Ollie Ollie World one reminds me of Guacameelee's underworld. A lot of challenges and completing them can make you feel like a total badass, but damned if they don't get nigh impossible, and I lack both the time and the motivation to try after the first few.

[@matyvalien]

MH World really? Tempereds were just a natural progression. I soloed the entire game , my first MH game too. It is hard at first sure, ruined the game? Absolutly not!

Adding trophies was a game changing addition to the gaming community. Really made me dive much deeper into games than i used to. Back in the nes, snes, sega, ps1, ps2, and og xbox days i would basically beat it once, then move on. Since the introduction of trophies/achievements, ive spent way more time on each game. Im not sure what the point of this post was, but i sure typed a lot...

[@denisfolcik1373]

I think they did it to add reason to replay games. I get it, but I'm sure as hell not playing a game again just for trophies. I'm only replaying it if I love the game, with a few exceptions where I need only a couple trophies where it won't take another entire playthrough.

[@Jseerockhead40]

Grinding in a video game is like cleaning a school assembly hall with a tooth brush, even all sparkly and minty its still a pain

[@Rogerian2012]

How did you leave out Rock Band 2? The Bladder of Steel Award Completed the Endless Setlist 2 without pausing or failing Alright here's what I suggest you do. Wake up early on a weekend or day off, eat a nice breakfast, GO TO THE BATHROOM and get ready to play Rock Band for 7 straight hours no pausing and no failing. PRESSING THE PS BUTTON COUNTS AS PAUSING SO DON'T DO IT! Also another note if your controller runs out of batteries it brings up the pause menu making you miss out on this trophy, so I suggest changing the batteries before playing.

[@revcliff]

This sums up why I ignore achievements other than "well, that's nice that I did something the developers thought was cool or funny" much less medals and colors. I harken back to the days when Blizzard put out good games for the sake of the game play, and completing it was the reward. I didn't need some artificial ways to hamstring myself like "beat level without losing any troops" or "completed campaign without building a battlecruiser". Getting through Starcraft and Brood Wars just left me feeling satisfied. IMO, when I finish a game, if I: a) Feel a sense of satisfaction b) Want to play again with a harder difficulty c) Want to try it again a different play style d) Want to see a different ending Then I feel I've gotten what I paid for without needing to replay a level just to make sure I jump through ring 12 off of tree 17 to collect statue 29 of 513.

Now turning back the clock for older games where the guild quest, even offline is scaled 1.5x or more even solo... Then yeah it's a test of challenge of your skills. (Even til this day, the moment I finished the lv 140 double apex rajang quest in 4u is a cherished memory of mine... A brutal but fulfilling memory)

[@DaoYeLung]

Tempered monsters are hard? They have more health and damage than normal versions of monsters sure but still have the same moves. If you've fought a monster enough times to recognize their patterns then Tempered versions shouldn't be all that much harder.

[@marcellXcatalyst]

I don't agree with the Limbo one. If you're trying to make a challenge run, your first run, then you're looking up a walkthrough anyway.

[@bloodwolfgaming9269]

I would say maybe the LASO Master achievement in Halo: MCC should probably be on this list. If I recall correctly, there is an achievement for beating all the LASO playlists in the game (I think is mostly just includes the LASO playlists for Halo CE through Halo 4 since ODST and Reach were DLC). Trying to beat 1 Halo title on LASO is enough of a pain but trying to beat all of them for one achievement is a nightmare.

If you're going to have games like RDR2 and GTA 5 where you have a glaring medal coming in every time you do a mission and it's not giving any rewards or it's not going towards your online trophies, then there needs to be an option to turn it off, get rid of it entirely, or if you're going to do the medal system, then there needs to be the tasks shown right at first so you can do better.

[@krvgames9258]

Okay, who here hasn’t completed Ocarina of Time because of Dark Link? Because I haven’t completed Ocarina of Time and it wasn’t because of Dark Link, it was because I couldn’t have enough time to beat Ocarina of Time and I was also getting stuck in Ganon’s Tower. Like I think Dark Link is an awesome Mini-Boss fight and is not the reason why people stop playing Ocarina of Time. A reason why people would stop playing Ocarina of Time is that they fully completed it.

[@joels5150]

I don’t mind trophies that require multiple run-throughs, or minimal deaths, if they are the kind you can complete within an hour or two, once you know what you’re doing. It’s pretty lousy to put those kinds of trophies in a game with a 30 hour minimum storyline. Before trophies were a thing, I remember replaying RE: Code Veronica on Dreamcast where getting the S-Rank required using no ink ribbons, meaning you only got one save point when you switched discs after knocking the tyrant out of the plane. That required about 90 minutes of perfect play and not messing up on that one fight. And then you had to get through another hour plus of gameplay without dying (Nosferatu knocks you off the rooftop after 20 minutes clearing the Antarctic base? Restart; a Bandersnatch one-shot random attack crushed your head? Restart. Stupid Steve clips you with the Axe? Restart.). It took me about 9 playthroughs to get past the first half, and maybe 15 more runs to beat the whole game. Ugh.

[@SpiralKnight90]

Honestly I'm a bit surprised to not see Middle Earth: Shadow of War's endgame segment, Shadow Wars. it is just mindless back to back to back fortress sieges. When the game was originally released it felt like the last part of the game was designed to frustrate players into buying lootboxes for new Uruks. Even after they removed them, "rebalanced" Shadow Wars, and added rewards for completing sections it's still a slog to get through.

[@jamsywamsy]

Using Din's Fire for Dark Link was also extremely helpful.

[@Falchion1984]

Also, Dark Link? Bring Din's Fire, two or three Green Medicines, and spam. Pity the rest of the Water Temple can't be made less irritating.

I'll see your inclusion of Mega Man 9's Invincible and raise you Mega Man 10's Mr Perfect.... also, mahjong in the Yakuza series....a lot of the minigame challenges can be wildly difficult but all the mahjong ones across the series really take the cake and rely on RNG pretty heavily even for players that actually understand how to play it in the first place

I’d like to mention Doom 3: BFG Edition’s rather annoying task of finishing all 3 of its campaigns on Nightmare Difficulty.

Your memory is right, not locking on isn’t an exploit so much as the intended way. I’ve heard that Link can still copy moves but it’s less likely, as opposed to being unable to.

I think RDR2 gold was fine. yes they don't show you what the requirements are until after the mission. that tells you not to worry about it and play the game at your own pace and enjoy it. you don't really get anything extra for getting gold so it's purely up to the player. Take your time, play the game and have fun. if you want an extra challenge, then go for gold.

Monster hunter world got me on thus one. World needed 1 item that wouldn't drop for me after multiple weeks of trying for it until I was so infuriated that I ended up Uninstalling.

[@WolfyFancyLads]

Two things: 1) Limbo's last level. That's all I need to say to tell you how fucked you are with that achievement. 2) The paying off the evil one is actually super easy if you wanna be cheaty. Here's how it works: play the game offline. Buy as much property as you can up. Make the rent INSANELY HIGH. Save, close game, system, date, set it forward a decade, and return, save, close game, reset date a decade, return, spend money on more property, rinse and repeat. You NEED to save each time and not be online, else it'll not work, plus you need to reset your time else you risk it glitching out and giving you diddle squat. If done right, you should own every property and have plenty of money for king/queen AND country within about 2-3 days of doing this (rent acumen is slow as hell in this game, so it's not exactly easy breezy. Plus, you gotta keep repairing houses else they make no cash). Sure, you'll be corrupt as hell, but when you've got enough to save the country just make all housing free and, boom, hero. It's how I got it. Honestly, not getting knocked out was harder, the combat could be such a dick sometimes.
