Topic: Games ruined by difficulty.

Ah, then that would be a mistake on my part. I thought you were indicated that it was "ruined by difficulty."

There's a big difference between a challenging game and a frustrating one. Difficulty can easily be done badly - whether it be too high or too low. The only one I can think of off the top of my head is Zelda II. I dont care if you enjoy difficult games - it was frustrating and badly designed in that regard, which is unfortunate because the rest of the game was very promising.

Games ruined by difficulty?

Kirby's Epic Yarn (Too easy)
F-Zero GX
Crash Bandicoot (Poor programing)
Silent Hill 3 (Lack of guidence)
Sonic the Hedgehog 2
Metroid Prime 2
Kirby's Adventure (I just hate this piece of trash)
Modern Warfare 2
Brink (**** this ****)
Shadow of the Colossus (Tedious, tedious, tedious...)
Rhythm Heaven
Castlevania 64
Blaster Master (Still fun but still.)
Devil May Cry
Super Mario Sunshine
Donkey Kong Jungle Beat (Poor controls)
Killzone 2

Zelda II is not on my list because that game has a fair difficulty. Most of the people who disagree never came close to beating it.

Ninja Gaiden (NES)

The game almost felt like it was broken.

The most recent game I can think of is Heroes of Ruin, far too easy, that Uber gear you can buy for aubsurd prices isn't even needed to obliterate the final boss.

The only ones on your list that I agree with.

As I've said a million times - There's a reason why nobody beats it!

I've beat it twice.

with an emulator allowing save files >: P im too hardcore for those. i beat zelda II once...

Once on the Zelda Collector's Disc and then on VC. I also beat TMNT for the first time on VC (I used to own it).

I'm going to do a no death play on my 3DS without restore points to >:{

I try to do that with all my games but I couldn't do it for Mario Land... I just wanted to beat it once (never played through it before).

i`ll be the first to say NSMB 2 in this thread. it`s far too easy to 100% it.
also i`d like to add the majority of snk`s fighters, most of which aren`t too bad going through the first few fighters, but they soon get very cheap towards the bosses.

Yeah, every SNK game's singleplayer is ruined by cheap bosses. It's the only thing I don't like about their games.

Metroid and Zelda. I have no clue where to go without a walk through!

Also, I don't get how the Metroid Prime games are hard. Sure, some of the bosses may be more difficult, but the games are still not that hard to beat..

Exactly? The fact that many people never come close to finishing it is because its difficulty is frustrating and badly designed, not because they've never played difficult games before.

I found Metroid Prime 3 incredibly difficult, I couldn't adapt to the first person view. I kept getting lost, my TV displayed very thing as one mundane very dark color making it impossible to see sometimes. In the end I just quit. I spent 2 hours roaming around this one area looking desperately for a way to progress. It wasn't fun.

This too... Last Blade 2 I breezed through until I got to the final boss...

Just started Dead Space on PC and it's incredibly easy on normal. My only deaths have been cheap instant death traps that aren't clearly identified. The enemies pose no challenge at all.
