Forums - Gaming Discussion - Games you played COMPLETELY WRONG?

played dead space 3 on the hardest difficulty by myself. on that difficulty it was pretty obvious the campaign was made for co-op: it was insanely hard but more importantly very unfair at certain points. i never had trouble with the first two on their highest difficulties, including dead space 2’s three save mode.

the worst part of the whole thing is there was no special achievement/trophy for beating dead space 3 on this difficulty by yourself. felt like the last slap in the face for someone who enjoyed the first two single player campaigns so thoroughly.

i don’t think dead space 3 is necessarily a bad game, but this experience definitely left a bad taste in my mouth.

for the record, dead space 2 is my favorite tps of all time.

Me and my cousin used to see who could outrun the cops the longest in GTA (original). It was the best way to share the game when family was visiting, as it never took long between turns and it kept everyone engaged.

Years later we were talking about the game and all the missions at a family function. Another cousin, who had owned the game himself, piped up with “what missions?”

He had watched us playing and thought that was the whole game.

I used to do that too. Put in cheats to unlock all the levels and such, then just cause all sorts of carnage. Or the opposite; trying to drive/act normal and see how long it takes you to crack and turn to a life of crime. A few times me and a friend would pick a place on the map (usually really far away) and then drive there, coming up with a narrative as to why we were going to that specific place on the way. When we got there, we'd pass the controller over to the other person and repeat.

Also, when I was younger, with the early Doom games, I'd pick ultra violence, put on a load of cheats (invincibility, all weapons, clipping) and just walk around killing all the monsters. I had no interest in trying to complete the game properly.

Easier doesn't mean worse especially here. Devil May cry the first was difficult but mostly due to its archaic controls, horrible camera and platforming and lack of checkpoints. That kind of difficulty shouldn't be held in high regard. That game also had lots of issues with its reuse of levels and terrible puzzles.

DmC does have lock on in the PS4 version. I can understand someone disliking its characters, story and boss fights but the gameplay and level design were pretty good.

I'll give you the camera. How are the controls archaic in the least? Spamming one button for a practically endless combo I certainly will say is worse. Once apon a time it was about timing what attack when to max the style meter, now it's about spanning a single button mashing as fast as you can. That is playing a hack and slash completely wrong. As far as level design of the first game, sure. But you do know it was made as a Resident Evil game, was canned then repurposed to the grandfather of all hack and slash games.

DmC wasn't about spamming one button but using a combination of three weapons to build your style meter. You had a normal weapon, an angelic weapon and a demonic weapon all seamlessly integrated with each other by the shoulder buttons. That was required to build your style meter. There were timed combos as well.

You could pull off some neat moves with all these weapons. As their first DmC game that was not a bad effort at all. There are also all those other ways they improved like I said camera, platforming and levels that made the game more playable. Also there were no three of the same boss fights like in Devil May Cry all these things add up to make DmC a more modern game that does combat well while also getting a lot of other important aspects of the game right.

Wipeout XL on PS1. There was one car with a machine gun. I think it was called the piranha. Rather than race the other cars, I sat in one place and blew everyone else up. When I was the only car left, I'd finish the track.

I was always first place because everybody else was dead.

I don't see the problem here. :|

This game was not fun for me.



I definitely played Overwatch wrong to begin with.  I played it like it was team deathmatch.

I play games my way and my way is always the right way. Anybody who thinks I'm playing games wrong is just a tosspot that can't comprehend the fact that other people can enjoy different things to them.

I entered the thread just to write this  :D

For starters, World Class Track Meet and Duck Hunt.

For WCTM, instead of running with the Power Pad using our actual bodies, we just used our hands and tagged the pad super fast.

With Duck Hunt, I adjusted the color of my TV so that no matter where I shot, I got credit for shooting the ducks!

I too cheated at Duck Hunt.  I taped a magnifying glass to the front of the N-Zap and could darn near point the gun at the ceiling and still hit everything.  I think I rolled the score over once and about a halfway there again before getting bored in the wee hours of the morning.

I spent days searching for plumber's tape, to help fix the seals on the all the pipe joints.
