That’s essentially why we come to expect it when tucking into a lengthy story these days.
It takes a lot to keep the attention of a player for the long haul.
But that’s all a part of video games, right?
Anything weaker than a close-knit foursome will only lead you to failure — repeatedly.
Just take these five, for example.
Criminal Mastermind (GTA Online)
Anything weaker than a close-knit foursome will only lead you to failure repeatedly.
It doesn’t matter if you’ve poured fifty hours into Grand Theft Auto Online or five hundred.
Anything weaker than a close-knit foursome will only lead you to failure — repeatedly.
So, good luck filling that roster and everything.
Oh, and did I forget to mention that nobody can die over the course of the five heists?
And, depending on the team that could mean around five or more hours can be wasted.
It’s best not to let the cartoonish approach fool you when it comes to Cuphead, to be honest.
But hey pull it off and you’ll get your paws on a cool $10 million.
It’s common knowledge that Cuphead is, in general, a friggin' difficult game to conquer.
That is until they make the decision to give the Pacifist Run a whirl.
Get stressed or die trying, am I right?
Ah yes the Pacifist achievement.
Probably one of the hardest challenges to the local community, no doubt.
Sounds easy enough, right?
If only Ubisoft could settle for fewer flags and more story.
Well, no not really.
No Death Run (Dark Souls)
Get stressed or die trying, am I right?
Dark Souls, on the other hand, might take a few more attempts.
Because 3 days in a post-apocalyptic shopping mall just wasn’t enough of a vacation.
I mean, it’s pretty much stated on the box art.
That’s right your dying efforts amount to nothing at all.
400 Flags (Assassin’s Creed)
If only Ubisoft could settle for fewer flags and more story.
And that’s just on Xbox 360.
PS3 users, on the other hand, are left with nothing to cherish for their efforts whatsoever.
So, you know thanks for that, Ubisoft.
Sheesh, as if that’s any easier.
Oh, and did I mention that you’re not allowed to save the game, either?
Well, there you go.
So, imagine having to do that for 14 hours straight.
Doesn’t exactly sound like the healthiest way to spend a day, does it?
Still, what’s 20G worth to you?
A day lost to a shopping mall?
It’s totally your call.
