How many people play this and NOT get frustrated?

[cheep crybabby hatter]

Just wondering. I'm seeing a lot of chatter on this forum and the reviews from people who seem to have become quite frustrated, or at least been frustrated in the past. Also, the narration seems to further suggest this is a frustrating game.

The thing is, I don't really get frustrated in games. Occasionally I do, but it usually a symptom of having a particularly bad day. I've heard of people who will break keyboards or throw controllers, but I just implicitly assumed that people who got properly frustrated at games were in some kind of vocal minority. But, seeing this game and its community has made me wonder if it's actually a strong majority.

So, if you don't feel frustrated by this game (or any frustration you do feel quickly subsides and doesn't affect your enjoyment of this game), please speak up. :-)

This game has a huge learning curve.
I'd say frustration is quite common for beginners but fades significantly the more you master it.
Let it get to you a little bit ;)

I’m trash at this game, I have only gotten to the part past the crane where you have to move across, but I don’t get frustrated. I might a little, but it goes away fast.

Wow, same for me for literally everything you just said!

when you have to start all over again... that's when you'll get frustrated.

Once I got the controls down, I didn't really get frustrated. I knew they were my mistakes.

I keep getting to the part after devil's tower but keep knocking myself off the straight wall back down to the beginning. somehow.

didn't really get frustrated at any part, got a bit frusrated when i found out i was going in the wrong direction for like 2 hours, but overall nothing frustrating

Not really frustrated, but disappointed. I would lose progress due to a weird backswing or prep, and be disappointed that there's no good way to reset to a neutral position because there isn't one.

It's this constant feeling that for every correct move, there's enormous potential for failure in preparation for the next.

Personally I only got properly frustrated on later playthroughs because I was trying to get a decent time knowing I could complete the game so every big mistake hurt that much more. I have to imagine this would have been the case for most people, you are playing knowing full well that this is a frustrating game after all (although judging from the got over it achievement stats maybe I'm giving people too much credit on being levelheaded)

I will say though, I think there is plenty of potential to get frustrated if you're playing with a mouse sensitivity that doesn't suit you. That's the kind of thing that will make the game feel unresponsive even when you've put in the time and endured the falls stoically. I remember figuring out at some point how hamstrung I was playing on a low sensitivity, everything became a breeze shortly after that.

it never really frustrated me as i actually had fun and each failure was a chance to learn...but im wierd like that and am quight different from the rest of the population, however i have definitly seen others play it and they get frustrated the first 50 times they fall, but then eventually they just accept that they will fall and getting back up the mountain starts to be less of an issue as parts that previously took hours take minutes and it then starts to be come about practice of certain obsticles as i have personally dropped back down purposely if an obsticle was difficult and i hadnt fealt that i had quight grasped how to get over it. when you do that you dont feel like you aren't making progresss but rather feel like you are getting better and when you do that falling becomes much less of an issue as you have done it befor and just know how to beat it

I get frusterated only when I make the same mistake twice. Which isn't often because I realize that everything that goes wrong is my fault, and staying calm is what brings me to victory. I also take breaks once I reach a new high point, so that i'm not devistated when I fall back to the beginning

I only got a little bit frustrated when I fell back to the beginning. I don't mind being put back a few obstacles, but doing it all over again was kinda annoying. Luckily the game isn't too long in content.

I must really suck cuz i've been back like 5 times now lol

cant even count the number of times i had restarted including one time where i was at the very top 2 feet (ingame) from finishing and i fell down and road the snake which took me all the way back to the beginning. i have finished the game 4 times now so cant immagine that you suck that bad since it happens to everyone multiple times unless they are an absolute god at the game right as they play it the first time
