Daedalus1138: Really? Maybe some of my problems stemmed from me trying to play the game too much like Commandos or something. I don't know. I just found the game to be incredibly difficult.

As for how long I played it... It's been over a year now, but I'm pretty sure the last level I played was in a town at night. There was a dock at one end of the map, too. I don't remember much more than that, but I do remember I finally just gave up. Who knows, though. Maybe I'll try it again some day.
That's possible. I think Desperados is a bit faster and more action-oriented at times, while in various Commandos games you can stealth through at a steady slow pace. But these are challenging games! Beyond the Call of Duty makes adult men cry, and I don't remember grinding my teeth so much in Desperados :D

Was it this mission?

(I played the game several years ago, so I don't recollect all the details, but I absolutely can't forget all the setpieces and environments in it. The deserts, mines, towns, trains, bars. It's a western Westerny Western. That's probably the main reason why I couldn't let go until I had finished the whole thing.)
Painkiller.

I'd heard glowing praise, tried it out in a sale.

...Not really up to much, is it?

langurmonkey: Okay fine. Hotline Miami is such a horrible game, people should pay people to play it. That game is so horrible, I wouldn't even pirate it. It is nothing more and nothing less than digital shit. In fact, playing that game also makes you shit and your penis smaller. Every time a country goes to war with another country, they should bombard each other with Hotline Miami. I fling my poo at Hotline Miami. In Hell, Satan makes people play Hotline Miami. In some countries, gifting someone Hotline Miami is seen as a way of telling that person, you want to rape his dog and kill his mom.
Did you know that BG2 was originally designed by DARPA, project codenamed Flaming Queer? Yes you guessed it, it was designed such that playing it for more than 20 minutes will make your balls shrink and turn you into a knee high socks wearing whoopsie (ofcourse it turned out to be true for any RPG that spells 'the' as 'ye').

Recently in the news, the camp of a South African warlord has been recently captured by the local military. Shockingly, they found a pile of corpses who, according to the forensics specialist, seemingly ripped their own heads off. Inside the torture chambers, to no one's surprise, they found an old computer and a copy of BG2. Subsequently, UN made a formal apology to all of the world for failing to stop the existence of the atrocity that is known as BG2 and it was immediately banned by the Geneva convention as the cruelest torture known to man.

Hmm, that mission doesn't look familiar, but again, it's been over a year so most of what I did play is pretty foggy. But now that I have thought about it some more, I think my disappointment with the game stemmed from two things:

1. I had just recently played the Commandos games (though I should mention I've never gotten past the first mission in Beyond the Call of Duty; I usually skip that one) and I heard Desperados was similar. Thus, I expected to be able to play the game the same way, when, in retrospect, that isn't the case.

2. I was obsessed with all things "Western" at the time, but my interest eventually faded. I just didn't have anything to keep me interested in the game.

But anyway, it may turn out that this game just isn't for me. I'll never know until I try again.
Lego Star Wars 3. Basing the game off a tv show rather than movies made it feel really choppy. It also felt as if the developers focused more on quantity of content rather than quality. My brother and I have enjoyed playing these games since we were kids, but I let him finish this one on his own.

I'm humbled ;) I don't even know what languages are those.

But I did notice something funny. The third language is clearly Nordic and I can somewhat understand it. It seems you wrote something like "Speak for yourself". The second one is Slavic and by reading the Cyryllic letters I can see it's also "Speak for youself". Then I noticed that the fourth is somewhat similar to French and it's also "Speak for yourself". The first one is a mystery for me. But then... the last one is also Slavic but it seems it's actually something like "I like cookies". Is it right? If so - it's hilarious :D

Anyway what languages are those?
3rd one is French.
I think the others are Hutt, Sim, and Drunk Jibberish.

I just picked a bunch of languages from google translate. :P First 4 languages = speak for yourself and yes, the last one is "I like cookies".

LOL good comeback. My turn again. Hotline Miami is such a horrible game, if we send it into space and aliens find it, they will instantly see this as us declaring war on them and send a black hole to destroy our planet. One of the devs, said, they purposely made this game the worst game in existence so that it would torture the criminally insane back to sanity. Unfortunately, all the patients subjected to this treatment, died instead of getting their sanity back. Once, a wise gamer found a copy of Hotline Miami on his desk from someone who hated him and quickly buried it in a nearby graveyard. The next day, the wise gamer returned and noticed all the graves were empty. Then several hours later, there was a zombie apocalypse. In an alternate universe, on Middle Earth, Frodo threw Hotline Miami into the fires of Mount Doom and Mount Doom spit it back at Frodo's face, killing him. Then all beings on Middle Earth committed suicide.

I think you meant the 4th because 3rd is clearly Nordic. Not Swedish though.
And the 4th is definitely not French although it's very similar.
The second one is either Bulgarian, Macedonian or Serbian and definitely not Russian nor Ukrainian. I doubt it's Belarusian.
And the last one could be one of the languages from the former Yugoslavia.

Brink - Didn't run well on my desktop at all, this was years ago so I didn't know I could optimize the graphics. I donated it.

Crysis - Found the nanosuit powers to be unbalanced. Donated it as well.

As similar as two languages that drew the roots from an empire that collapsed in the 5th century and have integrated elements brought by invaders having crossed on one side the Rhine, on the other the Danube and then left separated for a long long time... I mean, it's just as similar as English and Icelandic

nb: if you doubt about Icelandic and English having common old Norse roots, "talk for self yours" is the litteral translation word by word ...

Ghorpm: Stay strong!

But I would like to add that if I was capable of being shocked by the taste of other people I would be shock right now because of... you! I absolutely love PoP Warrior Within (and other games from the series) and the only thing I slightly dislike is the backtracking. True, it was perfectly explained why you have to go through some areas again but enemies you encounter were the same as before. So you got to fight mere pirates that you had been able to defeat with a stick. But once you were carrying the most powerful sword in the game one hit was enough to finish them. Booooring!

The sooner you learn the better for you: De gustibus et coloribus non est disputandum ;)
"De gustibus et coloribus non est disputandum" - Now don't try trip me up with intelligence proverbs ;)

The backtracking drove me nuts as I often just missed the checkpoint before dying a horrible death. I am a bit crap at games though...

Anyway, there's only one way of resolving this....let's have a bare knuckle fight! As you're in a different country, we'll have to do this over the internet. So, I'll start with a swift right hook to the jaw!
