What have been your hardest gaming challenges in 2024 so far?

So you buy a platform that's overwhelmingly shitty shovelware games, bad AAA ports, + indies and are surprised you're having trouble finding games to play?

This is the first year in the Switches 8 years of life where they have literally nothing for me. Its been a good ride until now but them holding back Switch 2 and replacing it with nothing leads to a super crappy year.

Divorce is the solution; show her the door.

Hahaha. That would be a solution if I was married. lol

Finding something to play. Literally, what a downer of a year.

This was exactly my post.

Animal Well was really good and quite thoughtful however.

FF7 rebirth genji trials. Harder than any souls game i've played that's for sure.

Souls games are easy af. FF7Rebirth has real difficulty, the kind of difficulty that makes you a better gamer, which Souls games don't do at all. I wanted to go for the platinum in Rebirth but just gave up, the game aint worth the stress.

I have literally negative interest in precision platformers. I would rather watch paint dry. Stellar Blade and 7 R aren't on PC yet. Over on Switch we got a Good Feel game (faaaart) and a bunch of ports.

The only 2024 games I've played so far this year are Pal World and the Riven remake. Both were okay, and thats being real generous with Riven.

Ballatro looks good though, been thinking of pulling the trigger on it for months now.

Check out Skull and Bones

Crash Bandicoot 4.

More challenging than Elden Ring especially towards the end.

Ridiculous for a platformer.

I have been trying to beat Kingdom Hearts 2 on Critical Difficulty with the EXP Zero ability equipped keeping me at level 1. A level 1 critical run basically.
I'm a little more than halfway through and am currently stuck on three boss fights: The Experiment, giant genie Jafar, and Xaldin, and I keep getting my butt kicked due to how incredibly delicate Sora is. Does not take much to get killed.

You are living through my life in 2005-07 when I obsessed over KH2.
Swear KH2FM critical mode and BBS critical mode is what prepped me for Demons souls way back lol

Last boss in Elden Ring DLC was annoying for awhile but eventually i destroyed him.

Try some demos, across all the platforms you own.
I found some older/semi-new gems that way.
