That only applies to me when working for trophies on PlayStation 3 games. And it’s not even instant gratification. Well sometimes. Sometimes the challenges are really easy, or story related…sometimes it’s just goddamn insane, the shit they ask you to do…Really just depends on the game itself and what kind of trophies the developers rigged for it. Yesterday while playing Dragon Age II I spent my whole evening fighting some guy that was really tough because I knew there was a trophy for me at the end, if I beat him.
And I did get him, but it was some work…well, until I figured out how to beat him. But I mean, it takes about 20 minutes to beat him since he’s so tough, but he can literally destroy you in less than 40 seconds if you’re not careful.
So you gotta work at it. His attacks, while being short range, graphic wise, have a 360 degree angle, they hit you from halfway across the room for some reason, fling your guy across the fucking battlefield, the attacks stun your character, you can’t move and then he just rapes your eyeballs…he can heal himself too, and you need to hit him like 4 times to cause ONE point of damage, and you barely have time to even hit him once…
And I got him, too. Basically by running away from all his attacks until he got sick of chasing after me and started charging, then you get out of his way and hit him like once or twice when he runs into walls. Takes forever…but I gots me my gratification. Bling!
And worse is? You don’t even NEED to fight this guy to go on with the game. When he challenges you, you can just go, up yours, jerk ass, and get on with the game…but I wanted that trophy!
Sorry, I didn’t answer nothing, but I really did want to brag about that fight, and this question was the perfect place to do it, short of just going on some video game forum where everyone there already beat this guy, anyways.
Thanks. :D
