Any examples? Like games you can tell are good and "really wanted to like," but couldn't, not because their flaws tipped the scales too far, but because you just couldn't mesh with what it was going for?

Like for me and RE3, the prospect of encountering Nemesis and having that make a significant dent in my health or ammo resources always makes me too anxious to finish the game. It's for that exact reason that I think Nemesis is a GOOD inclusion, because it logically builds on the sort of planning anxiety that the series operated on. But adding Nemmy to the mix, while brilliant in how it tops off that design philosophy, just makes it to where I'm not having a good time anymore.

There are several games I dropped because I lost all my interest, but right now I only remember one game that I was enjoying and I had to abandon because it was too difficult for me, Hitman Codename 47. After more attempts than I remember, I couldn't finish Say Hello To My Little Friend, which isn't even the last mission, so probably it wasn't the hardest one either.
Still want to play the sequels tho.

Yeah this is what Resident Evil is all about. Capcom knew what they were doing when they called it SURVIVAL horror. There are very few horror games that are like this. For example, everyone categorizes Silent Hill as survival horror too but I disagree, Konami themselves referred to SH1 as 'horror adventure' when it first came out. Both RE and SH are anxiety inducing but they achieve it differently. Therefore I find it really dumb when some people claim that RE isn't a horror franchise

It's fun, it's interesting, it's challenging, it's TOO challenging, and that's the point, you're supposed to feel how hard it actually is to not only survive, but grow stronger as you explore the post apocalypse world. This is compounded by the fact that the "real" experience is a leveling system that depends on you finding interesting items rather than leveling up from combat.

The game itself is not complex, but it's very elaborate, unlike a normie rpg you actually benefit from getting that helmet with +2 acid resistance, and if you try to even out your stats you will fuck yourself in the ass because there is no way to survive by being a little bit ok at everything, you need to minmax any skill you actually want to use.

I don't blame you, I basically forced myself through the game just to see all of the environments which admittedly were awesome in this game.

Wow sorry for not knowing I was supposed to bring a million grenade rounds and shotgun shells with me because I didn't expect to fight a boss that has like a million hitpoints! I don't really understand what Capcom was thinking with this, people always say that CV is the black sheep of the series but not only is it overall a perfectly serviceable game, it's a masterpiece compared to 0

Age of Empires 2. The first one wasn't too bad, a struggle at times, but the sequel just gets insane with needing to rush in every mission. I am not very good at rushing things and my enemies end up highly leveling over me. People talk about stuff like The Great Hunt in AoE1, but there I had plenty of time to strategize each part and save scum my way to victory. Usually in AoE1, the strategy was just to find some remote corner of the map where the enemy didn't find you until you were ready to overwhelm them with a completely maxed pop count.

Years of playing, I feel lucky to have beaten the second Joan of Arc mission once. The third one was absolutely impossible.

I'm pretty sure the physics in Super Metroid are intentional because, and I say this unironically, this game is set in space.

dont get me wrong i dont think its that hard,but after 3 playthrough of MGS1,i still find myself dying or being in trouble more often than other games you mentioned,what helps in MGS is knowing all the trick and using all the weapons and items,for example metal gear rex is so fucking hard before you know to use chaff and later stun grenade,i also have to stay on my toe when fighting gray fox and sniper wolf if i dont use the medication,im sure there are other part but to make it short i have to be more alert and concentrate while playing mgs1 where as in RE i can be more laid back and silent hill its mostly the puzzles that are the roadblock on a first playthrough.

Digimon World 1, honestly.

The mechanics seem simple but there's so much esoteric information that isn't delivered to the player. Even following old guides from based forum days, I couldn't understand how the mechanics worked in practice. Let me give you an example
>fanmade evolution chart says X Digimon needs X, Y, and Z amounts of certain stats to digivolve a certain way
>Ok, simple enough, let's start training with the first stat
>halfway into training, Digimon evolved earlier than expected
>usually Numemon unless I'm lucky to get another Champion

Stay at mid range. Do not go too close at to be grabbed, but do not go too far either or that's when he'll start running, and his run-punch is really hard to dodge.

So, shoot 1-3 times (depending on the weapon), move a little, repeat.

If he gets pissed or get too close, dodge by going towards his non attacking arm.

Get all of your healing items out of the magic box and just tank him. Jill will inevitably dodge some of his attacks if you just spam the action button while aiming. I won't defend the Nemesis fights because they are objectively bullshit when it's your first time playing. It's simply not worth it to git gud, they are not fun, that's why I think it's better to just unload everything you have on him and heal through the damage

Not that anon but it's very hard to evade his attacks like you would in any other RE game.

That's how I got all the chaos emeralds in Sonic 2 but I 'cheated' even more. I had an emulator open on PC and starting from bonus stage 4, before every bonus stage I stood up, went to my PC and practiced it on an emulator.

who cares how tanky they are,you can stunlock all of them with the axe or hammer whatever its been a while since i played but the only roadblocks were the puzzle that also arent point and click hard.

You don't have to kill a single enemy in school (I agree that it's hard to dodge them, the school on hard is pretty challenging) and then when you obtain the hammer... yeah, it destroys everything even on hard. I actually did a playthrough in February. The easiest RE game is probably RE2 and it's still more challenging than SH1 on hard

Final Fantasy tactics. It’s surprising because I like final fantasy and I like other turn based ‘tactical’ style rpgs like Fire Emblem, but i keep getting bored and quitting every time I try tactics
I keep getting my ass kicked only like 4 stages in, seems like it takes forever for your characters to actually level up and gain any useful skills, i ended up grinding, replaying the first 2 or 3 stages until i get frustrated with my characters only being able to do shit like throwing rocks, and i quit

CV - you get the handgun in the next room. And knife is literally OP and you should use knife anyway for the first hour or two of the game, you can stack so much ammo. If you enjoy other classic RE games you really should revisit that game. Its quite long and it does the RE formula well, dated visuals and simplistic gameplay aside.

For Dino Crisis 1 I feel you. I didn't like how different it was to RE, I didnt like that there was no clear cut health bar, didnt like the full 3d gray and dull environments and found the atmosphere to be lacking. It felt like a RE without anything that makes RE good.

During development of RE2 in 1997, Capcom hired Noboru Sugimura to handle the screenwriting. He was a professional TV writer and wasn't happy with the limitations of video game design but wanted to change that. He founded Flagship as a writer's college, and made deals with Nintendo and Capcom to provide professional writers for games. Incidentally, this is why RE2 has so many subplots going on independently (police corruption, serial killers, corporate espionage, Sherry's story, etc.) - because he wrote it like the game was the season finale of a TV show.

When Capcom expanded its operations, they relied heavily on Flagship, with Sugimura becoming the unofficial creative director of the franchise. As a result, games like CODE:Veronica, Resident Evil 0 and the prototype Resident Evil 4 games draw heavily from the tokusatsu TV genre, with Sugimura often re-using elements from Super Sentai episodes he wrote for the games. They introduced ideas like ancient superhumans and superpowers, and some very goofy villain ideas you'd expect in tokusatsu, but at the same time talk extensively about corporate intrigue, eugenics and Fascism.

Sugimura left Capcom in 2004, and died in February the next year, but because he did a lot to shift Capcom's operations they still rely on his story notes for modern RE games.

TL;DR - CV is part of RE's early development as it was trying to advance itself as a legitimate narrative-driven series (for Japan at least), but outside of Japan it comes across as weird - like tokusatsu itself.

Yoshi's Island. Never got past that fortress level in world 4 where you have to get keys to open four doors, just got so bored every time I tried to pick the game up to get past that level. But there were lots of things to like about the rest of the game.

It's not retro, but Tarkov certainly filtered me. The combination of the incredibly sweaty gameplay, losing all your good shit, and taking forever to get into a new match is what did it for me.
