I too found the Z:GI puzzle mentioned above rather fair. The entire game is more or less set up for crazy solutions, it's not that far fetched. If you got to that point in the game, IMO that concept shouldn't be alien to you...
Spoiler:Or, well, so I thought.

Does anyone remember, the first and in particular the second shivers. Man, I really hated some of the puzzles in it...

Syberia 1 and 2 in general. Not because the puzzles were particularly hard, but because (especially in some parts of the game) there's a LOT of walking around if you want to try something out (the ice cave in Syberia 2 for instance and in the first game I can remember backtracking through some woods and all the way back into tow in that dream sequence - NOTHING to do until you reached the manor/factory).
Also there are several locations which serve no purpose except showing off some pretty graphics. Why isn't there at least an option to enable you to double click on an exit point and get transported instantly? Watching Kate Walker walk (or in a light jog) isn't my idea of fun. I actually used walkthroughs in both games just because I was sick of spending 10 minutes to try out every idea I had... |

Hands down the most frustrating puzzle I've ever encountered -- leading to one of the stupidest endings ever! I'm also glad to see Monkey Kombat mentioned so much in this thread. Basically because I never made it that far. Being arrow-key-challenged, I couldn't get past retrieving the milk bottle from the lava field, despite a couple weeks of trying. Finally threw in the towel and uninstalled the game. It's nice to know that I avoided even more frustration ahead by doing so. |

If I remember rightly you could either double-click or press ESC or CTRL and Kate would appear at the end of the screen? I am sure that's right because I too was very annoyed that it took so long for her to get from one end of the screen to another |

I realise it cannot sit well with everyone, but I think the game would have lost some of its power if it had featured a double click snapping option. Such an option in Moment of Silence would have been more than welcome, though. Oh, and as far as frustrating puzzles go, the carrot feeding in Wanted was more than I could handle.

In Grim Fandango I got really frustrated with with getting the Blue Casket hipsters to like me. I thought I had to make them like me by coming up with a good poem, so I sat there for hours trying to figure out what I was doing wrong. I tried analyzing that women's poems and the poem about the moon, I counted syllables, I made notes on when the audience clapped, I made notes on punctuation, and I paid attention to word stress. It was horrible.

I so hate it when I spend hours trying to figure out something useless.

At least, Gabriel Knight 3 had this option, and it was great. I agree that all the traversing in Syberia got old. -emily |
