I just recently finished Desperados: Wanted Dead or Alive. Honestly, it was quite frustrating, with the game being not just really difficult, but also sometimes just straight up cheating. But I persevered. I decided I will do this, I will win this game without looking up any strategies or hints, I'll beat this. And so I did. Untill the penultimate mission. Where I was defeated. By a door.
After 23 missions and over 24 hours of accumulated gameplay, I could not for the life of me figure out how to open a door. After a whole day of trying I caved, looked it up online, turns out there was a panel in the floor nearby I was supposed to stand on. And so, my almost triumphant struggle to beat Desperados fair and square on my own came to a most inglorious end.
And now it made me wonder if any of you had similar things happen. Overcoming some great odds in a game, or achieving something really clever or impressive, only to fall flat on your face because of something laughably easy?
Edit: Yes, I know there's a spelling error in the title. I'd ask a blue to fix it, but it actually feels quite appropriate.
