Anonymous asked:

Which video game level was/is the most frustrating to you?

There were all the end levels of VVVVVV, but that’s a good kind of frustration. Apart from that, the only thing I can think of is the Cyprus quests in Age of Empires Online, which was an atrociously-balanced game, and constantly expected you to have all the best equipment available. Those particular scenarios were also balanced for the optional co-op play, so they took forever, and I had to exploit units that were equally broken to survive. On top of that, there was no saving, so if you got disconnected from Games for Windows Live for five seconds, you lost an hour of single-player progress for no reason whatsoever. I don’t know if Cyprus is kinder to you in the fan version, but I frankly have no intention of ever finding out.
