    That was some baptism of fire. I remember thinking he'd be easy during the boss rush at the end since I'd levelled up but he was still the hardest boss out of all of them.

    Not quite I dont think. But pretty similarly I guessed the appropriate difficulty level incorrectly for quake 4 and only completed the hardest boss by saving every 20 seconds or something silly like that.

    edit: actually I did do exactly that in Final Fantasy 7. I realised that I needed more health potions to defeat the final boss, but had either copied over saved games where they were available or wasn't bothered going back to a save that much earlier.

    Well 2 games I never had a problem defeating the boss in: Ghosts 'n' Goblins and Ghouls 'n' Ghosts. Mainly bcause I didn't get anywhere near the final boss. :)

    Ha brilliant! I took ages to beat him. That stupid maze with the doors at the end only to be whipped about the place by that abomination. Once I beat him the first time it wasn't so hard again.. but ya it took some doing. I wouldn't have an ounce of patience for it now though. He'd kick my ass.

    Can't think of any games off hand, but i know i stopped playing some games because they were either utter crap (Bomberman Act:Zero jumps to mind!) or too hard for me to enjoy (Dark Souls).

    If a game is too hard to enjoy, i usually stop playing. I like playing games to get enjoyment. Risen is testing me at the moment, but i think it's my strategy thats letting me down, ie: enemies are hard until a certain level.

    I wouldn't consider i've completed the games though. You've only completed a game if you have personally beaten the boss/end (cheating can be ok in some cases - i would love a shot at Dark Souls with unlimited health, seems like it might have a good story and interesting characters, just too hard).

    You have to approach Dark Souls wanting a challenge and to experience a rich, atmospheric world (story and characters are close to non-existent). It's only very rarely unfair (that cursed gate near the start, the last boss with certain builds) and really the rewards are huge.

    There's been a few games I've abandoned just before the end. Longest running one is The Lion King on the Megadrive. Just couldn't figure out how to beat Scar as a wee lad in the pre-internet days... having to play the entire game to get there again was a more draining prerequisite everytime.

    Although it's amongst my favourite games ever (C) I never played the 'true' final boss in Persona 4. The previous ending was more than apt for me, and the weird conditions to unlock the 'true' final dungeon were a rare misjudgement in an otherwise splendid game.

    Ah, if there's no story or characters then i won't even bother attempting in the future. And i'm all for a challenge, but if i'm not enjoying it i won't continue. It's like those scrolling shooters with the screen full of bullets, that's a crazy challenge and something i would never enjoy...

    I will also add to the thread that i rarely play games through a second tiome if there's alternative endings. I've intentions of going through the mass Effect series with all renegade choices at some stage though... :pac:
