Doom 2016 rune trials
I have decided that I like everything about this game. I even like the rune trials, which I shouldn't for two reasons: (1) they are the most flagrant kind of console "you have X number of seconds to do Y" crap, which I hate with a burning rage; and (2) I'm just really bad at them.
The last one I completed took something like 35 attempts. Now I'm working on two more that could literally kill me if I let them. My blood pressure gets so high that I can feel my face getting ready to explode, so I have to quit. Then I go back and try it again. It's like knowing you shouldn't try to inflate that air mattress by blowing into it for an hour, but you keep doing it so you can say you did it.
Doom 2016 has a way of making you set aside common sense just for the sake of completion. I cannot ignore something left undone in a level. I have to do every dumbass minigame, find every Doomguy doll, locate every last secret.
This is why the rune trials are so bad. I can't do them, but I must keep trying to do them. The trick is to figure out how many fails I can endure before stroking out.
