killamch89 Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 Hi everyone! I'm curious about how you all deal with frustration when you hit a challenging level or get stuck in a game. Do you have any specific strategies or tips that help you stay calm and enjoy the game again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight Barida Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 Whenever I am frustrated from playing a particular game, I end up focusing more on finding out how I can get through via watching some gameplay on YouTube. Those clips have been helpful most of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I'll take a break from it and do something else and come back to it a bit later with a fresh outlook and I find that helps me to overcome most obstacles in a particular game.

Kennysplash Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 Tough levels donโt frustrate me, before it gets to that I would have quit. It is usually hardware problems and glitches that frustrate me. If it is the game that is hard, I just consider it a challenge that I should overcome and put more effort.ย killamch89 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortie Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 Whenever I play a game and find myself hitting a difficult part or struggling to get past a specific area, I always find walking away from the game for a few years, doing something else and then coming back and trying again helps me.ย I feel if you spend a lot of time going back when you are frustrated, you will never get past the part you are trying to.ย Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lamarr the strelok Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 I usually try for a while and then look up a walkthrough to get past annoying/ difficult parts.I'm sooo dumb when it comes to even the most basic of puzzles in games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lamarr the strelok Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 I usually read walkthroughs. I don't have the best internet so it's easier to read walkthroughs than waiting for videos to load etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, with walkthrough, you are able to finish more games with ease, right? I always thought finishing the games step by step is the better move to make though.

Lamarr the strelok Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 I only check walkthroughs if I get stuck in the game. I generally take main quests, and maybe a few side missions in games.Not sure of your question.๐ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a level in Crash Banicoot called The High Road. It was so frustrating to play! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorpion Posted October 9 Share Posted October 9 I usually take a break, clear my head, or switch to another game for a while before retrying the challenge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
