Games That Get You Stuck and Make You Cry

Tactics was easy as shit. You guys suck at video games.

Tactics was easy as shit. You guys suck at video games.

Here's the trick:

Accumulate so you never waste a chance to earn JP.

Don't buy every single fucking ability, just the good ones.

Now you, too, can win!

I just used that cheat where you get unlimited AP.

Orlandu = Easy Mode.

My final group was a homegrown lancer, Ramza, Orlandu, Agrias, and Chemist Mustadio, but all you really need is Orlandu and Ramza.

Dude, that EXACT SAME THING happened to me the 1st time I went through Tactics in '98! I tried that battle literally 150 times - I tried for a few weeks. I was going to smash EVERYTHING!! Well, my younger bro and his buddy are watching and his friend says, "Can I try." "What the hell. Here." BOOM!! 1st try!! He dodges a couple hits, gets a few excellent hits, and wins the battle!! I couldnt believe it. I was to relieved to be pissed, but needless to say, EVERYONE had auto-potion soon after.

Not true, the game had that magic draw system. Which was beyond horrible.

I actually thought the junction system was one of the best in FF. I mean yeah it sucks to stock all your magic, but what I liked so much about it was that once you DID stock your magic, if you junctioned the right magic to the right stats, your characters never NEEDED to use magic. You could max out your stats so that your normal attacks did 9999 dmg on every hit, which pretty much meant you didn't have to use any massive damage spells. I can understand why you wouldn't like it, but I thought it was original and enjoyable.

But even if it did have the exact same gameplay, then it lives and dies with the story. And the story and characters were awful.

I've seen worse, but the game certainly wasn't FF's highpoint in terms of storytelling and plot at the time of its release. FF8 was the first FF I played and I really enjoyed it, but after playing some of the other games in the series, it really just doesn't hold up in terms of plot and character development.

The original Space Quests (1,2,&3) and Kings Quests were know for stuff like this. The first SQ pratically drove me to tears with some of the rediculous stuff. If you forgot 1 thing, you were screwed. I had to restart this game at least a million times.

My copy of 007 Nightfire has a glitch or something, I was near the end but there's a door at the exit/end of level in one stage that won't open or trigger anything like it should.

FF8 made me cry because it sucked so damn badly.

I was damn near crying the 1st time through RE4 on Hard during the final battle with Krauser. I beat him on about the 15th try, then ran the wrong way and time ran out, then it took at least 100 more tries.

Here's the FF order of excellence if anyone's curious:

1. VIII
2. VII
3. IV
4. X-2
5. VI
6. IX
7. I
8. V
9. X

I never played II or III so those aren't included. Hope this clears things up.

This list really empitomizes why you should be neutered.
