frustrating

[GloryToGod]

this is the most frustrating game i own on steam. period. why? because everything has to be so dam precise it takes the fun out of playing. stupid ninja rope. stupid timer on turn. for a strategy game it makes you rush every time and theres no time for thought. repetitve shots just to finish one campagin mission can take forever to find out exactly which ai worm will take you out. i enjoy worms but come on there should be options to make this game more enjoyable in single player. missing shots and dying in multiplayer is fine because its competitive but single player give me a break. stupid worms.

You can host your own games and increase the turn timer to be much longer. As for the Campaign I don't particularly think it's that hard as long as you've practiced a bit. It can be an unforgiving game to begin with but you should get better quite quickly. Just practice...

Worms is a turn-based strategy / artillery game. Obviously you have to be precise. As far as the campaign stuff goes, all you have to do is just burrow underground and shoot at the AI worms until they are dead. They're aimbots, basically. If you keep yourself hidden/protected they can't hit you, and the AI isn't smart enough to actually come TO you and make good plays. If you think the AI is difficult you should try playing vs. a human lol.

turn time is mostley to balance game..with short time u need u think before u turn time start and np

That's what makes worms good.

again its sooo frustrating. i play starcraft 2 even the campaign missions let you save progress. worms needs to do this so you can save before each move. i hate repeating so much on this game. i understand multiplayer needs timers as it is competitive. the game is not fun repeating mistakes. even playing a strategy game like chess lets you think and take your time before your move. worms is so slow and clunky to move around map that rushing only causes mistakes. most frustrating game on steam. they need to let you save progress during missions. so many games allow this or just give option to turn off timer during campaign would help players make better moves. FRUSTRATING!!! SCREW NINJA ROPE TOO!!!!

turn time force u to think before u are on move....

You can easily just press ESC during your turn to think about what you're going to do if you need more time, at least offline.

Save scumming is kinda lame though IMHO. It can be frustrating to play for a while and then die and have to start over but isn't that how video games should be? Screw this modern hand-holding easy crap. Besides, the single player campaign is insanely easy if you have played much Worms in the past. If you are struggling with the single player content you would get annhilated online.

This is how worms has always been and should never be changed. Go play a different game or do some coloring in.

@SKUNK3 pressing escape does not help as you still need to execute the move with a timer up your butt plus you can't scan the map and look around at what to do

Timer ruins the fun in offline play. As this is a casual game. I fully understand online multiplayer and why the timer is needed there. I've been casually playing worms since MSDOS.

LIVE. DIE. REPEAT. like the movie Edge of Tomorrow with Tom Cruise best describes the frustration of playing worms.

And as i mentioned before even Starcraft 2 campaign lets u save progress and it is a well known bigger world wide game than worms. Most strategic single player campaign games will let you save progress. I'm not going to make a list but WORMS get with the times!!

Honestly I died like, only 10 times maybe, in the solo campaign. It's just too easy, without a timer it would be boring. The point is to think FAST.

You get plenty of time to think in the single player campaign. You can think during your current turn as to what you will do next turn with your next worm. You can then think during the AI's turn. You then have your own actual turn to determine what you are going to do and do it. You're just not thinking fast enough, I guess.

If the single player campaign allowed for savestates then people would constantly "save scum" by saving frequently and reloading their last save any time they make a mistake, which doesn't improve their skills so much as it merely just allows them to bulldoze through the campaign with minimal effort.

Practice,really. After some practice it isnt hard and the timer wont be a problem anymore.
Without the precision the game would not work anymore. Then you would have no chance against a little bit better players.
You need a balance. But, there are so many weapons, some easy to use and some need skill. A nice variety.
The rope is the best tool in the game.

@SKUNK3 again my opinion on saving is to do with single player campagin not multiplayer so therefore scum saving is not the case unless you consider yourself scum while doing it. Who else is watching?? NOBODY.

Also thinking time doesnt improve anything... I can spend a whole turn dangling on a ninja rope... THINKING WHY THE HELL CANT I GET UP THERE and without getting anywhere... my turn is over because of timer... but if i had unlimited time I'd eventually get where i need to be.

And if I could save before a swing then i could practice it more often without having to repeat everything else in the mission which again is most frustrating... to be put back to the start.

I can always think ahead but its the action that is required and it never plays out the same as I did in my head.

@BARAKA practice does not make perfect in this game... AI can kill themselves on some turns... meaning starting from beginning because I fail an objective. Getting all 3 objectives on 1 playthrough in a mission is MOST FRUSTRATING

This is why there is a rope training mission for you to practice roping. You can also create custom offline matches in which you can literally do NOTHING but ninja rope around for 10 hours if you wanted to.

I hate to be that guy, but 'git gud' seems to be appropriate here. Worms is all about practice and learning the game inside and out. Trust me, the missions are not that hard. I'm assuming that you are new to Worms?
