Road Rash on the PS1, absolutely loved it but could barely win a race on it π yeeting other riders off their motorbikes was too much fun.
Also thought the video cutscenes and menus looked kinda cool back then, especially compared to the simple ones in fighting games (tekken, versus etc). Actually thinking about it now, the music on Tekken's character select screen really made you feel like you were in an arcade
I'm not that young anymore but I put more hours into Planetside 2 than is even reasonable for how fucking bad I am at it.
I'm not very good at Diablo 4, I mainly picked it up thinking it would have a sort of MMO thing and expected something not too different to a grindy time waster.
I mainly play other genres, and the last Diablo game I played was D2, when I was a teenager (mid-30s now), which I didn't even get far into.
I just started Act 6, which I believe is the last, most recently. Where I skip cut scenes in other games I'm really enjoying the story of this, and so I'm finding myself watching them all the way through. The voice acting is great and I've never actually felt properly bored.
I'm not bad, but not what I see as the average player of this sort of thing (so not very good either), yet I enjoy it a fair bit! Veeeery dark story, and the cut scenes are incredibly gory sometimes. I think that's really cool from an artistic standpoint, I kind of get why people like deep horror films so much: there's just so much cool stuff artists can do with dark themes, and the artists in Diablo 4 really go ham with this! Lilith has like a freakin' head of horn clusters, like they said "fuck two horns, just keep adding them!" But they made her character REALLY cool looking by doing so. I love it.
I haven't played it, but I remember watching the opening cinematic where Lilith gets summoned. I love her aesthetic as a demon queen, with the skin wings and all.
Oh same. That intro is what drew me in. Reminds me of when I used to sketch all sorts of demonic beings for fun. But not just the appearance, for me the entire cut scene elements impressed me. From the design to the voice acting and general demeanor of the characters. The emotional depth within each role is rather well accomplished, I would say.
I recommend you go visit the Dwarf Fortress forums.
Slay the spire I must have 400hrs+ of game time on multiple platform. Yet I still suck ass!!
All rhythm games and fighting games.
League of Legends
Damn that shit is hard
Overwatch. I've played since 2018 and I still haven't climbed out of Bronze. I love the story and character lore a ton though!
I used to be gold and platinum but I think the ranking system is broken because I'm as good as I ever was and am consistently bronze -__-
Touhou lol
Does it count I loved Quake 3 back in the day? Wasn't good at all at it but still I think it's one of the greatest games ever made and I loved playing it, especially Rocket Arena.
The fucking lion king. Aladdin was hard af too. But roger rabbit? I couldnβt beat that bouncing around mother fucker and I donβt know if I ever did. And fuck kid Icarus. Another one I never beat. But the answer to the question is Turok for 64
I don't qualify as a "younger user of Lemmy" but I love games like Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat. I suck at all of them, except for Killer Instinct but I'm only kinda good with Combo.
I wasn't expecting to call myself young but I guess I never did experience any games that were just brutal though I did get into gaming a bit later in life. The earliest game I played was Warcraft 3 and the main campaign was easy enough, some custom maps were harder but nothing really hard so 20 years ago games weren't really harder. The hardest thing in any game I have experienced in about 20 years of gaming was Midir with a magic build in dark souls 3 which I never did beat.
I'm bad at most games so yes
How do you define young?
I'm definitely too old but I loved Tarkov before cheaters ruined it.
I know some early-20's folks who grew up on DayZ.
Both games very hard to not suck at.
For me it was Rainbow Six Siege.
Absolutely fell in love with the gun play (leaning in that game is my favorite mechanic in any game), destructible environments, operator gadget interactions, and repelling.
However, I was trash at the game because of slow reflexes due to bad eyesight, and poor aim. Relied on the gadgets while my team got the kills.
Tried for months but couldn't beat Rayman 2. Fuck you, razor beard.
Karate Champ. I probably spent hundreds of dollars on that game and never got past the third match, and don't have the slightest clue what would make a round kick score a full point or a half point... You could come up with strats that usually worked, but nothing ever worked reliably... Mortal Kombat you could come up with strats that would 100% get you double flawless, but it's grandpappy would toss all manner of randomness at your ass and fuck you up pretty reliably :)
I don't think there's any game I like that I'm good at
I could never beat PokΓ©mon Blue because I chose the grass starter.
I beat that game at 10 years old with only my starter. Like I knew in concept you should train other Pokemon but I just had a level 86 Blastoise by the end of the game.
I love "Independence War 2: Edge of Chaos". I even run its official fansite.
To this day, I have never finished the game because it's hard. I mostly play it like a sandbox space pirate simulator. :D
