By "helicopter level" I assume you mean the RC helicopter in GTA: Vice City.
Funny, for me it was the RC Plane Level in GTASA.
There RC plane was even worse
I immediately thought of Crysis.
San Andreas when you have to chase the train on a dirt bike.
All we had to do was follow the damn train!
Shaka when the walls fell
One you learn that you just have to stay a certain distance rather than trying to race it. It's fine. You just find that sweet spot where smoke is constantly shooting and you're good
NES TMNT swimming bomb defusing level. Aaaaaaaaaahhh!!!
I just learned that the intent for that level is to pause the game and switch which turtle you're playing because they get a full health bar when you do.
The electric shock sound when you touch the sea weed will forever be a trigger for me.
That was the final level.
The objective of the game was to return your frogs to the deep river, it really was just a reimagining of frogger.
"that fucking helicopter level", for me, refers to the rc heli missions in gta vice city
we don't go to ravenholm.
nah but the level is sick tho.
I was playing Mafia, and it’s a pretty cool game, then suddenly they drop in an F1 racing level where you need to grab first place against a bunch of AIs that never make a mistake.
The worst bit is, in the previous mission you did a lot of work to sabotage the rival’s car ahead of the race. So you shouldn’t even need to drive all that well to win against him, but it just forgets that.
I just never beat the race, so the game came to a halt for me.
shouldn’t even need to drive all that well to win against him, but it just forgets that.
His car breaks down right at the start, which ironically makes the mission harder as you have to dodge the car as everyone passes it.
That said, the hard part was not tipping over, you could get quite a few places by just not giving a shit and flying over the chicane after the first turn.
Jackal snipers...
There's a level in one of the Battlefield: Bad Company games where you're ambushed by two attack helicopters in the desert and the only cover is a small building. Did I mention Bad Company has fully destructible environments and you've already fought in said building so it's full of holes before the helicopters start blowing it apart? Or that a third helicopter shows up mid-battle?
It's not too bad if you know what's coming and preserve some cover, but if the building is in bad shape when they show up then you're not going to have a fun time.
On a rail
I'm so glad Black Mesa truncated that section
I mean it's manageable, the HECU fights are always fun for me, especially with explosives. And you can just ditch the train and bhop all the way.
Now Xen+Interloper on the other hand........
those barrel mini games in Donkey Kong 64
I know what everybody is thinking: 50 Cent Blood on the Sand, but that's a misconception, you actually mean 50 Cent Bulletproof--the one other, and less perfect, of the 2 games that exist
My helicopter level was in Ninja Gaiden. Used all my healing stuff before it and couldn't beat it. Never picked it back up.
The sister bullshit fight in fallen order.
Or, all the fights actually
I wanted a hybrid easy mode for that game so bad. One hit Stormtrooper kills but smarter enemies than vanilla easy mode.
I HATE sequel lightsabers being just glowing baseball bats.
Lord of the Rings: War in the North and the fucking protect the door level
Wolfenstein's fucking helicopter level on impossible.
Company Heroes 2 in Hard difficulty. The AI in RTS single player games tend to simply swarm you. I have to tone down the difficulty but there is little sense of satisfaction in playing easier modes.
I can’t think of a specific example, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it involved an escort mission.
The Trial of Tassadar
Every once in a while I decide to replay StarCraft. I always breeze through the Terran and Zerg campaigns and the first few Protoss levels. Homeland is a struggle but I can get through it. I can never seem to beat The Trial of Tassadar though. I always get destroyed before I can even venture out of my base.
More carriers
Misty in Pokémon Blue
It'd be easily fixed with a new save, a more balanced approach, and four hours... but fuck that, I've spent two summers grinding to beat her but nope
Just go catch a Pikachu. Won't take 4 hours. A pickachu from viridian leveled against Mt Moon zubats for 10-30 minutes would wipe the floor with the whole gym.
This is why I roll bulbasaur.
Wipe both Brock and misty out.
Magic. I'll give that a punt this summer! Thank you!
That's not a bad plan, but it will require a new save. Once you enter Cerulean City, all the ways back to Viridian are blocked until after you beat Misty.
If you want to beat Misty without starting a new save, your best bet is probably to go north of Nugget Bridge and catch a Bellsprout. That should be about as effective as a Pikachu against Misty. If anything it might even be slightly better. Grass and Electric attacks are both 2x against Water types, but Water attacks are ½x against Grass types and 1x against Electric types.
I was stuck on the crazy missile tank dude in Armored Core 6 when I got to him because apparently he was fucked up and more OP than intended. Played through a few months ago, well after he was nerfed, and absolutely demolished the game 100%; though I credit it more to finding out that you can unlock a machine gun through the training sessions I never did. That thing just wrecks every dude in the game if you keep moving 🤣
Every time its the same
„I wonder why I havent played Elite in a while“, then proceed to find myself in the outer rim of the galaxy in enemy powerplay territory with a sidewinder
I mean, catch a taxi? How'd you manage to fuck up Rule 1 so hard you ended up in a sidewinder with no way to import cash in enemy powerplay (which btw got redone and probably doesn't apply anymore)
I'm sure I could beat the piano guy in Luigi's Mansion 3 if I played it enough times, but it's not nearly fun enough for me to stick to it
Maybe I'm an idiot, but I can't get the stupid mini game in Astral Chain where I have to balance a bunch of boxes and take them to someone without dropping them all. It adds nothing to the story afaik and it pissed me off to a point I just stopped playing altogether.
NES Adams Family game.
My cousins had it, so I couldn't try later.
The freezer level.
I suck at platformers, always have, but the slippery change to traction fucked me over hard and I could not adapt.
Then their dog got out and that crisis took over.
