>>14544306

I don't know about you, but I personally enjoyed Xen

>>14544300

>implying its shitty

there literally isn't a bad part of yakuza 0

>>14544344

I don't know you but your opinions are okay. It was interesting to see vortigaunts just going around their business.

An oldie, but the difficulty spike at the Doc Robots in MM3. Seriously, who designed that fucking needleman stage.

>>14544367

I wish Half Life had more moments when the enemies don't attack you outright unless you strike first. It would really make the Xen beings feels like living organisms.

>>14544551

Do you mean stealth as an option or stealth that lands you a game-over if detected?

>>14544619

Pretty sure he means when an action game suddenly has a shitty ham-fisted stealth section out of nowhere.

>>14544619

This, >>14544634 sorry for not being clearer. I'm retarded today.

>>14544300

I got bored with it at that part and still have yet to go back and finish it.

Fishing minigames

>>14544551

>stealth in a turn based strategy RPG

WHY

>>14544716

delete that

Forced "skill" minigames in an otherwise thinking/numbers game.

>>14544353

How about sitting through 10 minute long cutscenes done like 3 different ways. Or sitting through sidequest dialogue without even voice acting to save it?

>>14544288

>Dark Souls

>Bed Of Chaos

>>14548026

>>14548051

>>14548052

Do you guys like actual fishing sims or just mini games?

Genuinely curious.

>>14548122

Got the image in my head of some anon chilling out in the late afternoon, in a boat on a lake, playing this game.

>spoopy horror game where you run around with a mic and try to record EVPs

>Everything's dark, and your ears are constantly filled with white background noise which makes you think you can hear somebody or something

<Suddenly, you get into a car and have to drive through what is a half-empty map for an entire chapter in the game

<All while the radio plays incredibly cheesy music

<And you have to stop every ten meters or you are at risk of not picking up an EVP source which the developer placed in the middle of bumfuck fucking nowhere.

I mean, the game itself was unpolished, and the monsters are more annoying than threatening, but while this can be attributed to it being more or less a one-man project by one Swedish guy, the driving segments had me wondering just what in the fuck that fellow was thinking when he added them. They contribute absolutely nothing of value to the game and the only nice thing about them is that you eventually finish them.

>Play Darksiders 2

>In the City of the Dead

>Reach a spiked elevator that requires me to climb up

>janky platforming shows itself

>die many times

>screamed at a game for the first time in years

>finally make it

>die in the cutscene

Vid related, the devs should be thrown from a helicopter.

I dont want your nigger memes, george. Niggers shouldn't be seen nor heard.

>>14548193

Glad I could help.

>>14548037

Path of Radiance Prison Break?

>>14548096

>sneak past all these enemies you can literally one shot and destroy in matters of seconds

>the target you captured runs away anyway

There isn't a single good thing about Final Fantasy 15.

>>14548109

Nay, the entirety of the Demon Ruins and Lost Izalith

>final level in Rayman 2

>those god damn circus rail contraptions in the last level of Psychonauts where the jumping has to be so specific, it's migraine inducing

>second to last hook in the second level of Earthworm Jim

>submarine sections in levels 3 and 4 in Earthworm Jim

>the door chase in Earthworm Jim 2

>the barrels in Casino zone

>Tartarus in God of War 1 as well as the minicerberus gauntlet took me a while to start prioritizing the little shits first

>>14544551

fuck any dev who thinks this is a good idea

or an underwater section

or an escort mission

or an ice level

or all of the above in one

>>14548100

>>stealth in a puzzle game

>the fucking thing you gotta avoid comes around to fuck with your puzzle solving all the fucking time

I don't recall the name of the game but it makes me angry just trying to remember it.

>>14548815

>>final level in Rayman 2

Which version, the PS1 has a different fight that is much harder until you know the trick

>>14548827

PC, I've always been shit at videogames though, but I JUST CAN'T QUIT THEM!

Just remembered: when game code shits the bed or a dev didn't even realize a certain move could be pulled off so they didn't code a result. Case in point: HuniePop. Turn all of the broken hearts into regular hearts, but sometimes they don't even register and you have to manually redo all of the combinations, wasting moves even though they are already lined up.

>>14548621

Worse, SRW Alpha Gaiden's sneaking missions. Prison break was fairly easy, this is on an open flat field where you need to manually count out vision cones.

>>14544716

this

>>14548122

Holy shit, good post anon. I will download this promptly

Can someone explain to me why developers consistently push forced stealth sections and escort missions in games despite gamers complaining about both for decades?

Also, why the fuck does every single escort mission make the person you need to protect walk either faster or slower than your own units/character?

>>14548887

It took me years to realize you can cast speed increase spells on the NPCs you need to escort in Morrowind

>>14548887

To pad time and add some variety.

"Gamers" complained about difficult games and look at the medium now.

>>14544306

It's not nearly as bad as most people make out. neither is on a rail or blast pit.

>>14544522

Freeman is an invader on their territory so it makes sense for them to attack. The only reason the slaves don't is because they're slaves.

>>14548815

>door chase in EW2

That part was piss easy and absurdly funny, what's wrong with you?

>submarine in EW1

Ok, i'll give you that one. Jim wasn't the only one screaming there.

>>14549042

it's piss easy when you know you can pick up the wardrobe, I didn't

>>14548222

It's weird that everybody hates the Meat Circus to me - worst time I had was in that goddamn bullshit Spain ripoff that consisted of a single circular route.

>>14549065

Well, unless you spent half an hour chasing the damn thing, it hardly makes that part THAT bad.

If you mentioned Level Ate or the final boss i would be more in agreement

>>14549148

See, I found Level Ate easy peasey lemon squeezey, all you have to do really is just run to the right with occasional stove maneuvering. Final boss can be kinda bullshit, but I just whip into her after I run out of bullets and that's an instakill.

>>14548222

I didn't have any problems with it. I died once. Maybe you're just bad at games?

>>14549172

Yeah. Besides, i just can't bring myself to hate those level because of the music. God i love that game.

>easy peasey lemon squeezey

OI DID YE HEAR THAT YA WANKER? IT BE SIX-A-BONG!

>>14549215

THAT'S SIX-O-BONG YA FILTHY POOFTAH!

Hands down my favorite two games on the system. As much as I hated level 3, it still had some bitching music.

>>14549264

that reminds me:

Shao Kahn in UMK3

>>14544551

I mean it's pretty fucking stupid to have it, since usually they don't have the mechanics in the game to make the stealth actually worth it, and suspensful.

forced walking segments

>>14554454

fucking amen. I would 100% rather just have a cutscene for this stuff 9 times out of 10 because it feels more like i'm being treated as too stupid to pace myself the way the devs want me to.That or it's considered for immersive for some reason but it actually ruins it for me and ruins replay value

>>14554454

AKA 90% of the Witcher 3.

>>14548122

>bandage outside the sock

Years later, I still don't get it

>>14544716

Fishing irl is pretty fun, too. Fuck off, anon.

>>14554203

>Not using the no hats mod

Its simple, but my god the game becomes infinitely more fun.

>>14548815

>forced stealth section in an action game where you have to escort an NPC through an underwater section in an ice level

>very few opportunities to come up for air because the surface of the water is covered by thick ice

>forced to watch your breath meter slowly run out as you hide behind an obstacle waiting for a patrol to go past

>the escort NPC has a habit of going off on their own and getting spotted by enemies, making you fail the level

>you constantly float upwards slowly because dude buoyancy lmao, making it impossible to properly hide behind objects

>the entire level has a time limit before you get hypothermia and fail the level

>the NPC you are escorting can only hold their breath for a limited amount of time

>their breath meter is shorter than the player's breath meter

>you can only see their breath meter when you look directly at them, and you get no warning if it's about to run out

>you return to this area near the end of the game and that part's an escort mission too

might have to make this game just for the salt

>>14549370

These fucker ruined that game for me and the horrible forced base multiplayer that you can turn off but when you accept the terms once it's on again Good that i tested the "demo" before i bought it.

>>14544716

Fuck you, fishing is so good that even AAA companies started to copy it

>>14548100

Goddamn that image is so funny on all layers

>>14554454

The ones in No More Heroes were infinitely more stupid until I realized I had my Wiimote volume turned all the way down.

>>14556078

As funny and sad as it is, it still gives me hope because you can see SOME brain activity going on in that kids head.

>>14554842

Does it disable weapon skins?
