What's the hardest minigame you've ever faced?

Did you beat it?

>> No.3099069

Put that shit behind spoilers, OP.

I just had a Nam flashback to that shit.

Not /vr/ but true nonetheless.

If /vr/ minigames only, probably the races in San Andreas.

I wouldn't say it's hard exactly, you just need to be able to mash the button extremely fast. But I resorted to using a palm sander to get past the torture sequence when I played MGS on Extreme.

I never actually tested it but I assumed the game was detecting button presses at the same constant frequency so it could counter the autofire controllers.

So how the hell did you pull it off with with a palm sander.

Was that little cunt Ocelot bluffing ?

>> No.3099214

>>3099197
I don't know how it detects if you had autofire, but Ocelot didn't notice anything. It was pretty funny actually, trying to do it manually I could barely last a second before the stamina bar depleted. With the sander it never went down at all.

It was even worse in MGS2 on Extreme and Euro-Extreme. They gave it a much-needed well-deserved nerf in the HD release.

>> No.3099242

Not the hardest, but the goron dancing game from Oracle of Ages is the worst.

Yeah I never bothered with the harder modes in 2. 3's were pretty great though. 3 was the MGS peak for me. Well, that and Ghost Babel.

The shitty fucking card game from FF9. It looked like 8's card game but played like shit. Had all those cryptic alphanumerics at the bottom of each card, and even after learning what all of them meant and how they worked, it ended up 75% of the game was chance anyways. Fuck that garbage. It was seriously the corn on top of that shit game.

Is there a difference?

Turbo: You press the button and it keeps re-pressing it quickly.

Auto-fire: you flip the switch and leave the room, it keeps re-pressing.

The worst bit wasn't the card game being dull and unsatisfying to play, but the fact that the FF8 one was awesome and they missed the change to just put it in with new monsters and characters and a couple of new local rules maybe

I know it isn't even close to being actually hard or anything, but the analog stick in my hand-me-down N64 claw was super wobbly, and this one really stumped me for a while

(It's super easy and quite fun in the 3DS version with the gyroscope-based aiming, btw)
