So now when people say challenging games the dark souls/demon souls games pop up.Now i did complete demon souls but dark souls pushed my patience to far. And it got me thinking why are some games a challenge but fun and other games are a challenge but frustrating.So some of the stuff i personally find frustrating.
Technical issues. Now this is what the developer may not have intended but can include bad camera or unresponsive controls had the camera issue in quite a lot of games.
You should have known that was coming....if you are a mutant that can predict the future.Now some games you can be cautious and it will work but there are some games where you die because something happened you could not have possibly known in advance the trial and error approach sure you will remember for the future but chances are more will come up again.
Superhuman enemy AI. Happens a lot in fighting games where the enemy seems to counter every attack in a way that no human could.
Grinding, A good game should not need you having to grind to increase your stats so you can beat a enemy.If its a action game your skill should be able to win (i would always say for a decent action game if you are good enough you should be able to complete a game without taking a hit). And perhaps a turn based game the strategy should be enough to make up the difference.
Time sink.This is one i really hate basically a enemy that takes so long to beat that dying and having to do it again is really frustrating
if anyone has got more examples let me know
