Any game designers?

I have a tip for any budding game designers out there. If you are making a game that you actually want people to PLAY, and you are designing the second level, here is a bad combination of factors:

1)Small room, rendering camera frustratingly unusable
2)Giant fucking spider boss with tremendous amount of hit points AND unstoppable attack if you get too close--which of course you fucking DO if you want to hit him
3)Throw in an unstoppable supply of henchman who spawn at random points throughout the room and can SHOOT FUCKING ARROWS

OK here's the thing. I got Ninja Gaiden knowing it would be a challenge. But HOLY FUCKING SHIT! They couldn't even wait until a later level to hit me with this shit? I am about to throw my damn controller though the fucking SCREEN

Everyone waiting to see reviews before buying this--if you're worried about it being frustratingly challenging, it is. Pick up Indiana Fucking Jones. I know I wish I did.

I guess that's kind of my point, dude. Do not play this game unless you want to feel like you have been punched in the nuts and dragged behind a car for 30 miles.

And since I'm already pissed off at this game, here's another cool fucking thing. When you quit it says 'are you sure? if you quit you will lose unsaved progress'. So if I continue, what's going to happen? I LOSE UNSAVED PROGRESS. Fuck you, game.

LEGO Indy has been a blast.

One thing I learned from the first game is you have to spam the hell out of that right trigger to keep the camera behind you. You'll use it almost as much as block.

I turned up my camera sensitivity, that helped a lot. Love the new NG2 game, loved the first one! It's not your typical button mash easy 1000g points game. They definitely make you earn your kills, finally a challenging game!
