8 MORE Video Games That Are IMPOSSIBLE For Newcomers
7. Driver
We begin with a game whose very name alone might make you grip your metaphorical steering wheel so hard that your knuckles turn white. Driver for the PS1.
Now I know that some of you might not consider this to be a challenging experience for the most part, but we cannot ignore the sheer strain the "tutorial" section put on players such as Miguel Narciso who simply stated in the previous video "That Tutorial In Driver".
You can almost feel the seething rage, can't you?
This is less an example of a community being unwelcoming to new players, and the game itself treating newbs with utter contempt, challenging them to complete a checklist of challenges in order to even leave the opening underground parking lot area! What made this so infuriating is that the game never specifies starting locations nor even what is required for completion, leading to players screeching around in desperation as the timer ticks down.
Oh did I not mention the timer? Yeah, it's an utter bastard and will leave you with just a few seconds left even if you do this perfectly. Many tears were shed over this ridiculously early barrier to progress.
