I am not one to easily lose their patience, but I am on the verge of just giving up on these games, at least for the foreseeable future.
Metal Gear Solid 3 is a game that I was given by a friend shortly after launch because he did not like it. Well, I did not like either and sold it for close to $30. I forgot the reasons why I did not like it but a user here thought it could have been the camera and since I had the Subsistance version, that would not be a problem. Well, I know remember why I didn't like it after playing it tonight. The beginning is awful. I can't really describe it much better than that. One of the best examples iswhen I came to a bridge and I took out the first guard but then two more appeared on the bridge and then more kept appearing beyond the bridge and I somehow had to deal with this crap with a knife, though I somehow must have been able to back in the day.
Shadow of the Colossus just has awkward physics and an awkward control scheme that results in having quite a steep learning curve for just the basics. I keep dying to the first colossi because I cannot seem to grasp everything yet and I keep getting the feeling that I never will.
God Hand is fine and all until boss fights because your moves suddenly become so powerless that you have to land an extraordinarily high amount of normal moves in addition to some of those signature moves just to even come close to beating them because they always seem to have one cheap move in their arsenal. I am currently at the Fat Elvis, I want to think that's his name, fight in a graveyard and that is only Chapter 2. I don't want to keep seeing this cycle repeat but it's been doing that since the beginning.
I know these games have a lot of fans on the board so try and persuade me to give these games another shot
