things you absolutly cannot do in video games
 

i'm about ready to research robot thumbs because i absolutely cannot run the 40 yard dash in madden 08. my career best is somewhere in the neighborhood of 4.6 with ted ginn jr., but every time i try to make a QB for superstar i can't crack 5.8 which inevitably makes my guy slower than molasses. i cannot 'click' in sync at all.

i'm not talking about super hard bosses or anything that's really tough for everybody, but what do you yourself have the toughest time with in the world of video games?

1. Sniping the head in Halo 3.
2. Not getting sniped in the head in Halo 3.

Pass the 2nd level on NES Back to the Future. Had the game for years and could never get past it.

Re: things you absolutly cannot do in video games
 

playing who was in my room last night on expert, can't 5* for the life of me.

Lorraine's heart kisses? That's easy. I'm admired by all of my friends (in actuality just one of my friends) for being able to beat that game pretty easily. The only difficult part is that in the final stage you only get once chance to get up to 88 MPH when the lightning strikes, doesn't matter how many lives you have saved up.

There should be a support group for this (albeit a small one). Its just too embarassing.

Sick thing is that I've beaten Super Mario Bros. 2 and 3 on the NES. It's those [censored] hammer throwers.

I agree with this one. I'm reasonably good at GH games, about the only thing I can't do is strum fast. I can only get 4* in Miserlou, and only 3* in Six. It's really frustrating sometimes.

Re: things you absolutly cannot do in video games
 

I don't know what it is about Six, but I can do Miserlou pretty well. I just got a 244k run on miserlou today, but I have only 4*ed six one time...I can't even 5* six on hard [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

I remember when I was young that I played SMB so much, I could beat the game without warping, without losing a life. Pretty much memorized the whole game.

I want to do it again now.

Re: things you absolutly cannot do in video games
 

I remember playing DoA4 in practise mode on the 360, and there were some insane combos I've never been able to execute.

And there's Tantalus time attack in TDU, probably the hardest track in the game, in which I just can't seem to get a gold medal.

I think I only pulled off Zangeif's spinning pile driver in Street Fighter II once...although it may have been a dream.

Re: things you absolutly cannot do in video games
 

Be any good at BGH map on starcraft. I do just fine on Fastest..but BGH I suck.

Anyone willing to trade starcraft lessons for poker lessons?

Haha I used to be the same way then I finally got it and only played characters in SF with a 360 move from then on (I was pretty good with Sodom in Alpha). I eventually got the 720 super version of it pretty reliably too but it was never something I could guarantee I'd hit.

Get the ultimate weapons in Final Fantasy X. Dodging lightning - blah. Chocobo race - blah

Re: things you absolutly cannot do in video games
 

I've beaten World 8...stick with it.

I remember when I was younger I literally spent all my time trying to beat Ghosts and Goblins on the NES. I always got super close, but never accomplished it. Has to be one of the hardest games ever.

That has to be the most frustating thing in the history of RPG's. The vast majority of those Ultimate weapons were pissing me off.

FFXII had some annoying ultimate bosses with what seemed infite life as well. I don't even want to know what they have planned for FFXIII.

that entire series is brutal, I've pulled enough hair out and thrown enough controllers over Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts for the SNES, definetly the one game that tilted me the most

Re: things you absolutly cannot do in video games
 

Any fighting game. I am sick at most video games but I HATE fighting games and am horrible at them. I just get tilted by the concept.

I could do this with about 10% chance when jumping into the person. I did it once while standing.

I could never hit the A+B buttons quick enough in any sort of quickness test

ryu/ken's uppercut with any sort of consistency

Re: things you absolutly cannot do in video games
 

im pretty sure ive never beaten Super Macho Man on Mike Tyson's punch out. I can beat Tyson, just not hte guy before him. I tried again recently and still cant do it

Re: things you absolutly cannot do in video games
 

Triple jump in Track & Field. Either WAY to much angle on the first jump, or WAY to little on the second one.

I am! But I play regular maps most of the time, not so much BGH/fastest but most things can be applied there too.
