Games just aren't as ruthless as they used to be!

One of my favorite titles for the Playstation is an action-advernture called 'Alundra', I played it last night for the first time in 10 or so years! I'd forgotten a lot about this game, particularly how sick and twistedly merciless it is with it's one set difficulty, random death traps, barfing out monsters everywhere, brain wracking puzzles and general complexity! I made the same hilariously hideous mistake I made last year when I played Tomb Raider... playing into the game for about an hour and a bit then suddenly dying finding I only had the option of restarting the entire fucking gaaaame, urgh, why do you punish me for playing you?


Yes I did! Now stop patronising me!

14/04/11 update: It took me awhile to figure out but I'd accidentally mapped 3 actions to one button so when pressing square, Alundra was attempting to dash, attack, and use a selected item all at the same time... since I haven't played the game in such a long time, I failed to notice any abnormalities and have continued to play like this for roughly 2 hours! :S
