Video Games I Quit On: Force Unleashed
It's no secret that I'm bad at video games. In fact, I'm not very good at games in general- I'm more of a strong starter who's score rapidly descends. Like with bowling... if I go bowling I'm great for the first few frames, I might even score a strike right away. But then I'm just for shit.
Ray, Mikey, and Bob are al great at games, but I still play them for fun.
But when a game stops being fun I usually end up quitting.
Let's talk about Star Wars: The Force Unleashed-
I really tried with this one and put in the hours. I found it occasionally very difficult and discovered moments where I had no idea what I was supposed to be doing. I toughed it out- Until I got to the level where you have to take down a giant Star Destroyer by sheer power of your "force" alone. The concept is crazy and should be very fun- it is not. I can't recall a time where I was put in such a frustrating situation with a game. I shouldn't even explain it- you should probably just youtube some gameplay footage if you're interested and watch the insanity.
Interestingly, this isn't the moment where I quit the game. After around 30 attempts, I searched the "interweb" for hints on how to do this. There weren't many hints- just a lot of vocal internet anger. But I eventually did it, quitting shortly after at the last stage, where you get to the Death Star and are in a room with around 200 bad guys for no reason at all, I mean I think they even created new bad guys just for this room, there was probably a Tiberian Shuttle dropping off bad-guys from previous stages who I hadn't seen in days. It was just shit blowing up, me dying, total nonsense, and at this point the damage had already been done during the Star Destroyer fiasco- I had simply stopped caring, so that's where I quit.
I will talk more later about other games I quit. There are a lot of them.
