Sections in video games where casuals are filtered out: where you either get good or quit.
Level 3: Turbo Tunnel from Battletoads is an obvious casual filter. Although it's easy compared to every stage that follows it, it's still regarded as the hardest level ever in gaming ever by game journalists and other casuals who couldn't ever get past it: casuals who will never know the true hell of later stages like Volkmire's Inferno, Terra Tubes, and Rat Race. And that's a good thing; casuals like those don't deserve to experience the masterpiece that is the US/Europe version of Battletoads on NES. Sure, you could always play the much easier Japanese version or Genesis port, but what's the fun in that?
What other games have casual filters?

Not really a casual filter so much as a complete fucking retard filter but navigating an actual 3 demensional space that isn't just a flat open field is apparently too hard for many people. Seeing people get lost in Mario 64 levels that are about as big as my back yard is just depressing.

I figured out within minutes of getting to the stage that you can pause on the corners, turn while you paused and clear it first try every time. At that point, the boss is the harder part, and even that's easier than Intruder Excluder's boss.

I wouldn't consider the existence of guides as a measure of whether or not a game is casual. That is just avoiding playing the game, just as looking up the solution to a puzzle is not solving it. You aren't wrong though, that is exactly what they would do.

>I wouldn't consider the existence of guides as a measure of whether or not a game is casual
I would, since I think the true mark of a casual filter is that you can't merely overcome it with a guide describing some gameplay mechanic, you need to git gud and master (or at least internalize and put into practice) said gameplay mechanic.
Compare Dark Souls to Gothic for a good example of that. You never need to learn how to roll in Dark Souls. It's very easy to beat the entire game with sorceries, pyromancies, and a greatshield. Even game journos have no problems using those cheese strats to blow through the game.
Now contrast that with Gothic, where you're not even going to kill your first group of molerats without first understanding the combat system and becoming proficient at dodging and punishing.

I can't agree with that because then it becomes a matter purely of skill and completely removes the knowledge and personal investment aspects of being a casual or not, as well as judging games on external factors instead of their own merits. If we determined games as casual purely by skill requirement then suddenly things like Spacechem, Dwarf Fortress, Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup, every genre with a focus on knowledge or problem solving, all become casual games despite no casual wanting anything to do with them without constant hand holding and layers of filters to make them easier to digest. Sure, skill is a really effective filter now with the internet making guides easily accessible, but if you are passionate enough to actually play a game on your own without walkthroughs and guides, then the other attributes matter just as well. If anything, complaining that you don't know what to do at a point makes you less of a casual than someone complaining because they can't do something, simply because they care enough to actually play the game instead of watch an interactive movie. If a game required me to make a tome of notes due to how complex it is and how little it holds my hand, I would be straight up insane to call it a casual game simply because someone else could cheat and use guides. Again, looking up the solution to a puzzle is not solving it. You don't really care about the puzzle if you buy it just to instantly crack it with a guide. That by no means makes the puzzle casual, just the person who cheated. There are dexterity puzzles out there that are extremely easy to solve extremely difficult to execute, but they by no means are more hardcore than disentanglement puzzles that are extremely difficult to solve and extremely easy to execute.

It should be mentioned that all those difficulties are the actual game and any difficulty before that was a pseudo-tutorial/ chance for you to get as many upgrades as possible so you can go crazy.
You can notice that, that even on the lower difficulties they throw stuff at you that you would encounter on the highest difficulty constantly (Gracious and Glorious for non-witch time, enemies become harder the better you fight against them in God Hand etc.), just to ease you in.

There's a few things that are important to remember in that level, gonna try to list them here.
>you can't really avoid remembering the locations of the electric guys. Just have to preempt them and duck. Best strategy is to stand in the middle of their path and hit them as they're coming to you.
>You can, however, make them easier, assuming you're playing on emulator. You can dash forward while ducking by double tapping left or right, in other words, sprinting while ducking. Never played on console, but I assume you can't do that.
>whenever running from the gears in the non-underwater section, it's important to arc your jumps and not rub against the walls as you jump. For some reason, that makes your route way faster.
>If you rush in section 3, the fish will not have come out yet.
>Right before the checkpoint for underwater wheels, you're being chased by two sharks. By moving in a specific Z pattern (from bottom end to top), you can get one shark to bite and kill the other near the checkpoint, then hit one of them, then get the 1-up, hit the other one once and run away to the checkpoint.
>You can technically grind for lives in the beginning of section five, since there's that 1-up by the shark. You can keep hitting him to wrack up points and then die. However, the camera makes it super easy to despawn that 1-up.
>The duckies can be made to turn around with specifically timed light-punches, but that's hard to explain.
>On the last helicopter, both the ducky and the shark can bite you through the wall, so don't stay too close.
That's all I can remember now.

I realize that "Dark Souls hard" is just a meme, but Ornstein and Smough are piss easy even on a blind run unless you drastically fucked up your character. I've never summoned anyone (even Solaire) for the fight and never managed to come remotely close to dying on it. I'm sure it's much harder if you kill Smough first, but I'm not sure why you'd go out of your way to do that.

Attempting to kill Smough first is harder than any other part of that fight. The Jew Dragoon will constantly harass you while you try to attack the fatty. You really don't get a break from him, no matter how patient you are.
Once you've actually got Smough down, though, you can avoid everything but Ornstein's butt stomp by standing between his legs and poking him in the dick.

I'll do you one better. The real Casual Filter is the D-Counter itself and not any specific boss although that entire boss Rush really pushes whether or not you can manage your resources and people.
But having a game tell you it's game over if you abuse your best moves or wander too much has gotten people to drop this game well before they would meet the commander.
It's also my favorite entry in the series and one of my favorite PS2 RPGs
>>14910411
The bad mouthing usually comes from fans of the series prior to Dragon Quarter. The game was the last entry in the series and the devs wanted to try something new but in doing so made a game that was fundamentally different from every prior entry. The dev team would later split up with some of them going to work on the original Dead Rising so if you've played that game you understand a bit of what type of feel they were going for tone-wise. Long time fans seem to have bounced off this title pretty hard and it has the reputation of being the killer of the franchise as a whole.
I played the franchise in reverse order so DQ was my first game and I'm down for unique experiences which is why having a sort of time limit doesn't bother me. It's a solid game and especially if you haven't played any previous Breath of Fire titles, you should give it a try. Keep in mind that >>14908922 is very true for the experience. The game doesn't hold your hand and it's not forgiving. But the system can also be abused to your advantage and it's up to you to figure out how to work things in your favor.

Ah, I see. You two and I are one of a soul. Each time I think this game was responsible for killing the franchise it sadden me, as it is a very solid and interesting game which biggest sin was being way to different to the others. At this point I wish it had been pitched as a spinoff or something rather than a sequel so it didn't receive so much hate. It is actually a very well designed game in which, in my opinion, both the gameplay, the "feel" of the setting and even the plot really work together to give a very memorable experience. It has its flaws, particularly related to the writing of its characters, with only Bosch being the only really interesting character of the bunch. Still, it is very good.

Hard and Very hard are the difficulties that more aptly apply to "true difficulty" and still function within the boundaries the game is set. Infinite climax/DMD/Level Die are more for those people who must push it even further beyond and feel the game mechanics fall apart to some degree.
So yeah, Normal is fucking easy, Hard is to get you up to speed, and very hard is sorta the "true" game and the level beyond that is for when you determine you're so good that you need to personally own the game.

Amusingly, they are fast and require you to not be a shitter, but at that time, I had the Moon equip and was used to MGR when I finally got Bayo 1 so I was parrying them like mad, which made them something of a joke.

Well the parry in Bayonetta is even more lenient than the one in Revengeance, somehow, so there's no surprise there. It's probably the most glaring balance flaw in there, you can spam parry to get past almost every part of the Temperantia fights

AVGN real goal in life is to promote Nintendo corporate dicksucking under the disguise of exposing bad video games.
LJN was innocent. They had Tim Follin, Atlas, Rare on their side and could have made some really good gems if they did not have incompetent management.

Literally ended up being one of the last bananas I got in my 102% run. It's easier when you restart if you don't get a good chunk of them in before the first 10 or so seconds.

Come on, that's bullshit. You literally have to hold left or right for a bit on Quickman's stage, and make slightly precise turns at the right moment. That's fucking easy, in comparison the actual boss while not that hard in the end, still requires a bit of precise jumping and dodging.

Also "disappearing blocks" is just "don't stop jumping and you win". Heatman himself is a fucking joke.

Most people who learned about stalker through their favorite cancer streamer and Boris usually play the game without actually liking it. As a result they give up at the first 'hard' section of the game which for new players is pic related.

Casuals can get that far? I figured they would give up when they would have to get past the military checkpoint with just a makarov and the sawed-off.

Not just Matador, but all four Horsemen can be considered filters. They don't have a preset location, instead they come to you, even when you're inside a town. Too bad that the game is a cakewalk after you fuse Daisoujou.

You greatly overestimate the competence of the average player. For me and you Stalker is a turbo-comfy slow-paced innawoods slavshit game where we can fuck around and enjoy the atmosphere and abuse the AI.
For everyone else it is a boring ugly difficult "hardcore" game, literally the dark souls of FPS

You're right. Those sections aren't really that hard if you practice at them enough and have a good sense of rhythm with Heat Man's stage (press A and D-Pad Right at the same time over and over). Truly, it is the mark of a brainlet to resort to baby manoeuvres.

What an experience, I hope I can figure out how to fight giant monsters cause melee is notgoing to cut it anymore. That is if I even get the time to figure out how to get magic r other items for weapons. I'm just constantly looking for food.
