therealsonicsoraI can give you leeway most times because generally you are damned awesome. You're a fun game, I love you veryyyyyy much.
Today though, just color my experience rageful, so far you've managed to give me three idiotic driving missions as main story lines in a row. (well not REALLY a row, but its close enough for me to notice.) Put under an LJ cut so spoilers are considerably lessened for some. Look at own risk.
The whole escape a falling apart building grated my nerves for quite awhile. Especially since you had flashes of BRIGHT colors and shaking going on. Dislexia gal here gets MIGHTY confused when too much shit starts happening on screen. Adding in the fact I have to drive a digital car = Horrible, horrible doom. Aka I crashed and got stuck on EVERYTHING. It's what I do.
The second was once again 'PROTECT THE BUS!?1', which I suck at. Oohohoooo do I suck at those escort kind of missions. Don't even get me started on how many times the first time around we did this that I had to restart the mission since the bus was ready to explode. Even if I had a hang of it this time, I was delayed because I got stuck on a pixel of some kind.
No, no I'm not kidding. There was NOTHING in my way, but I got stuck on something and couldn't move the damn car. I nearly failed the damn mission because of that. ILUNITROBOOST. LOVEYOULONGTIME.
Finally there is the current mission of hearing 'Metal Beasts' into pins. How you may ask? By encircling them with fire.Which is a stupid plan anyway, wtf Eddie? They breath fire, you think they'd be rather unfazed by it. Especially since if you don't do the circles PERFECTLY they can step right out of it.
Again, a bad thing to give to someone with both Dislexyia and glasses. It made worse since I can't control the chopper we're put on at all. When being chased by hell beasts, its generally a good idea to know how to drive away from the fire they breath.
It ironically makes me miss Eddies car, I could drive that piece of shit JUST fine. Bikes? Best to just give up now! Raghhh.
Overall I am currently disappointed in you BL, I expected better. TSK TSK.
With much disappointed lovin'

Date: 2009-10-16 01:31 pm (UTC)I smelled trouble as soon as they got off the bus.
Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan.
I also sucked hardcore at the first PROTECT THE BUS scene... I think I heard those people screaming in agony three times before I finally got it. >:( Though I think the most irrtation I've felt toward those kind of missions was a secondary one where you had to drive some beer to a beach clean across the map. But if you tapped a rock the beer started to fizz and if a leaf landed on them they exploded.
The Duece is not made to be driven carefully, ESPECIALLY not on the terrain they created. Agggggggh. Aggrivation.

Date: 2009-10-16 10:06 pm (UTC)I generally just restarted mid cutscene whenever I got to that point. I just went 'Fuck this noise' and reloaded the last check point. Aka why I went 'Yeah, not driving on a beer run, I'll stick to ambushing since I WIN at beating shit up.'
I wish I could use the Duce to do the circle of fire thing, I'd ACTUALLY be able to do that mission decently. The motorcycle can't take much damage at all and has no nitro boost so you're kind of in the middle of shit creek during this mission.
