>>656 How'd it work with the turns?

>>674 tomenet uses real time turns, which in my opinion ruins the roguelike experience. if I had to implement it, I would divide the world between public "mmo" areas (towns and such) with real time turns, and private/party dungeons with regular roguelike turns. pvp could have regular turns with a timer like chess

I don't know if this is embarrassing to say but the hardest game I beat without any difficulty options was probably GTA 3. I played the PS2 version and it controls like Max Payne with OoT controls and no bullet time. Tons of missions past the first quarter of the game 100% weren't playtested by anyone, and usually rely too much on trial and error, have horrible time limits, or both at the same time. Walkthroughs just barely make the game easier. I've heard people say that San Andreas is harder purely because of the train mission, but I'm blaming that on the PC port being half-assed since I've never failed that on PS2.

>>285 after months, i finally beat No More Heroes 2 on the hardest difficulty! ...paradoxically, even on bitter, this game wasn't super hard to me, it was literally just one phase of the final boss that i was stuck on for months. the frustration of that one boss was almost not worth beating the game, but also the fun i had with everything else outweighs that.

>>285 Recently I've 100% Elden Ring I'd say it was the hardest Souls game I've played so far (and I've finished all the Dark Souls), mainly due to its different approach and mechanics, which I was not used to, but the easiest to get all the achievements in Now I'm playing Tears of the Kingdom in my Steam Deck

>>623 Agreed. I'm playing it for the first time with a friend and we're slowly going through 100% completion. Even some of the missions are a headache to get through, not considering the tedium of 100%.

One's have had to retry bosses the most are ds3 and the trails of cold steel series. Trails could be hard but always had room to try different strategies, was very satisfying to figure one out that finally worked. DS3 when you lost it would happen quickly but in a jrpg where boss battles can go 30 minutes - an hour losing towards the end hurts much more, esp when you realize you were just stupid/confident.

>>397 A lot of people played Quake, Half-Life, and even Counter-Strike 1.6 wtf are you talking about?

>>398 *With only keyboard Sorry I'm sick rn and forgot to add that oh so important part

>>398 But playing those with keyboard only is kinda clunky In doom you can play it with keyboard almost as well as you do with mouse

>>400 True, although aiming becomes the REAL Hell lolz (also sorry for the late response I completely forgot about this thread )

Not too long ago I played through Overboard, a short map pack from the guy who made Going Down. Short and sweet maps with some awesome level design, and a NG+ mode with harder enemy placements after you beat it for the first time. Link to the Doomworld page: https://doomwiki.org/wiki/Overboard

it would be hard for me to choose only one favorite video game character for this; i've been playing games for most of my life, so there are lots of video game stories and characters that have had a personal impact on me, but Sonic and Shadow were my childhood heroes, so if i had to choose one, then i guess those two

Master Chief. He's got a level head, he never gives up, and he always finishes the fight. >>646 Angel Beats is pretty good, I remember it having an impact on me over a decade ago. It's funny you mention it now, I just started re-watching it for old times sake.

this is me. i'll conceal my identity as best as i can but at the same time i wanted to stylize this a bit to not give it a lazy look so i added a thing.

>>628 that's a nice alice. also, a fellow sonic enjoyer!

this community so small that these charts probably will deanonymize anyone who posts them lole

>>629 Who is your favourite Alice?

>>631 there are too many to choose only one, but i really like the original.

>>608 well, you might want to define "obscure", because there are people who think xenoblade, mother, and shin megami tensei are ""obscure"" while there are games on steam that have like 5 downloads and jp-only games that are only on the ps vita that only 10 people have played to answer the question seriously the Mary Skelter series is really cool, but not a lot of people really talk about it, at best you'll see it get mentioned in passing in dungeon-crawling threads on 4/v/... it's a series of first person dungeon crawlers with turn-based combat (think classic SMT or Etrian Odyssey), but made by the Hyperdimension Neptunia developers, so there's a huge emphasis on the (majority) female cast, who're all based on different fairytales. in battles, you have to manages the girls' mental state, represented by a bloodstain meter by their health bar; the darker the blood color, the more likely they'll go insane during battle when the gauge fills up, at which point you no longer have control over their actions for the remainder of that battle unless certain requirements are met. you can restore their sanity by sacrificing some of the protagonist's blood, but if the protagonist runs out of blood, he's out for the rest of the battle as well with no way to bring him back. this resource management makes boss fights really hectic and fun. Mary Skelter 2 is especially really good imo; the gameplay balance is at its best in that one (the two versions of the first game both have their own slight issues which make both games too punishing, and the third game has a steep difficulty curve in the beginning imo) and it has one of my favorite stories in a game also, the games' soundtracks are really good. https://youtu.be/kVkNByesJSY?feature=shared https://youtu.be/GzaMFTHalB4?feature=shared https://youtu.be/VB7BXyDih54?feature=shared i could make this post so much longer. Compile Heart's entire repertoire is underappreciated in general. if JRPGs are supposedly more appreciated now than they were in the 2000s or 2010s, i'm really not seeing it outside of a handful of series getting overinflated importance. i also really wanted to mention Go Hell Go and Tsurugihime, but neither of those are out yet, so i wasn't sure if that would be cheating.

>>564 kirby, no! take that off before somebody sees you and writes a twitlonger!

>>555 I don't have that, but do you want my physical copy of EoSD? I bought it a long time ago..

>>566 damn, anon. do you wanna sell it?

>>554 Pikmin 4, Rune Factory 5, Rivals of Aether, and My summer car

>>438 interestingly, there's this one review where the reviewer guy actually prefers the radar in 2 https://youtu.be/5Ii63QA_lBQ?feature=shared&t=595 personally i don't really have a preference, i think both games are fine and i'm a dark age enjoyer so i'm not super picky when it comes to what is and isn't "broken" but if the other guy thought sa2 was too broken then he probably won't like any version of sa1

>>440 what the hell, it didn't start at the timestamp he starts talking about it at 9:56

>>337 I don't know... the controls made it hard for me when I was younger It just felt super slippery

>>333 still baffles me how nintendo got 3d mario movement just right with this one, sunshine and odyssey feel like downgrades honestly

>>563 Odyssey's controls felt tighter for me
