Metal Gear Solid 3 on extreme trying to get no alerts and at the Prison Break part... no camoflague...

I can't say I ever tried beating MGS3 on Extreme Mode. I'd probably just get way too frustrated at it and would probably have to try it several times before I do it right.

Yeah, that is one of my least favorite sonic stages ever, despite near all of the rest of the stages being really good. I think they were trying to make a decent clone of casino nights zone from sonic 2, but failed miserably. Too slow, and too annoying. In reality most of the latter sonic levels in all the games annoyed me, keep the slow platforming challenges for a game like mario that's built for it. Sonic's platforming should consist of running mostly forward, jumping in places to avoid traps, and utilizing springs and enemies to get up to interesting places

You may be onto something here. Even though I hate all of those "casino/carnival" stages (exception towards Casinopolis from Sonic Adventure, I actually kind of liked that one, although that's mostly because of NiGHTS pinball), Casino Night Zone was probably one of the few stages that actually "did it right." I generally agree with what your idea for what a Sonic game should be like.

Another thing that I absolutely hated was this one particular boss in Final Fantasy 4/2 called the "Evil Wall" or something like that. It was completely ridiculous. The Wall itself can't do anything other then reach a little closer to you each turn it gets. However, once it reaches a certain point, it'll start instant KOing your party members, and the rate it does this is so fast you don't have time to revive your characters. Even though I was using the most damaging strategy; Cecil and Edge attack, Kain jump, Rosa Haste, and Rydia casting powerful spells; it still managed to kill my entire party before it died.

After several tries, I was just about convinced that this was impossible, so I checked GameFAQs to see if there was something I needed to do first. The FAQ writer mentioned that it's much easier to get the Leviathan summon before doing the "Evil Wall" boss so that's what I decided to do. This was also a pain, but it wasn't as ridiculous as the Evil Wall.

After I got Leviathan, I went back to face the Evil Wall once more, determined to kill the beast. I used a similar strategy as before, had Cecil attack, Kain jump, Edge attack, Rosa cast Haste, and Rydia now cast Leviathan. Sure enough, few turns using this strategy, the Wall was defeated. I called BS for being forced to do something that should have been optional, but I think winning the battle was much more important at the time.
