 Making Annoying But Never Stupid Games as a Challenge

Making Uncomfortable but Never Stupid Games as a Challenge

EDIT

I have received a pm telling me that on this thread's title I could perfectly replace the term annoying with punishing. Let's say that's another way to see things that might be worth mentioning here.

END OF EDIT

Well, I have been told awful stories about how some moronic user kept uploading true sh** on boards like rmn. I am against such a stupidity, but it gave me an idea. What if we make a few uncomfortable games while still keeping in mind a few rules? Yeah, we need to keep it save for an audience after all. 

How would I define the term uncomfortable? 

It would not want to break the rules nor make you think it wants you to puke every 2 minutes. Yeah, I practically ruled out gore here. It should not try to justify stuff that is illegal and immoral like discriminating black people or asking to hurt Jews, et al. 

What it should include would be things like sporting too many puzzles in row or scenes you cannot walk through the first ten times because it requires you to push several buttons and bring specific items or heroes along, and killing either mobs, sub bosses or a even few bosses. I know I could just name a few things here. 

My point is that the player should feel awkward whenever he or she thinks they can just keep grinding in order to reach a level where the player would no longer worry about survival. It is like adding up the life is harsh concept in your game mechanics. 

After thinking about it for I realized there is a lot of work to be done. Would all that hard work and nuisance stuff be worth the huge effort? Or would it be a recipe for a certain failure?
"For God has not destined us for wrath, but for obtaining salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ," 1 Thessalonians 5:9

Maranatha!

The Internet might be either your friend or enemy. It just depends on whether or not she has a bad hair day.
