natetimm posted:It was an immersion thing to ape the style of the first Alien movie. The horror schtick in that movie is their sensors let them know something is there, but not specific enough to be useful when it's real close. I'm talking about the in-game map, not the sensor. I loved the movie and adored the videogame Alien Versus Predator 2, but the whole schtick of Alien: Isolation fell apart for me once it just ended up as me going through the same set of rooms over and over again looking for the exit and never finding it while being killed again and again covering the same drat ground because of how far back the savepoint was.

First mistake: saved up my money for a summer and bought Earthbound because all my friends told me it was so great. I thought it was loving stupid. Second mistake: sold it.

my first time through FF8 I didn't bother actually learning what guardian forces were or trying to draw things from enemies since you could find springs in certain areas of the game to junction really good spells. But I ended up making it all the way to the final boss with only the 3 starting guardian forces, meaning I could only junction certain things to the only 3 people I ever used. While I managed to beat every other boss and enemy I was too weak to standup to greiver's shockwave pulsar because I only had one guardian force per person on my 3 main people. Once I looked up a strategy guide and realized there were 16 guardian forces and I could junction multiple ones to each person it was basically a whole new world. Had to replay the entire game from the start though because Siren is on the first boss and Diablos is best to get right away. Fat Shat Sings fucked around with this message at 08:23 on Aug 30, 2016 |

There's no cure for my Obsessive Reloading Syndrome. I can't stop pressing R after every single kill even if I only spent 2 shots or something... Even if the game has no reloading mechanic and R does something else.

I decided to make a party of "grey jedi" for whatever reason and we all used carbines.

Told my parents about needing to find a knife to kill a grue and was forbidden from playing so that I wouldn't become a violent kid or satanic murderer or something. They were worried about violence in video games way before it was mainstream. It worked though. I'm not even a regular murderer.

Then I realized i missed a Guardian Force (Alexander) from a boss and quit playing. you can get by with probably 9-12 of them, but it does suck knowing you missed one. even after i learned there were 16 of them I managed to have to backtrack twice, once for carbuncle on the statues you fight at the end of the first disk and the second time for eden because it had been ages since a boss had a guardian force and I fell out of the habit of drawing spells. my biggest gaming mistake of all time though was going through all that chocobo air garden bullshit in ff9 and then deciding I didn't actually care if i beat ozma leaving the game forever unfinished. Also backtracking for Ark in that game. ....and back tracking 4 hours for the stupid loving monster capture poo poo in FFX because you need to capture 10 of every monster to unlock something in that monster arena and you only encounter this one specific monster one specific time in the crystal woods. I also backtracked because I only had 99% completion on FFX-2 because you have to hit X at a specific time, without a prompt, with no warning, in a span of a second during a cutscene or else you don't get the real ending of the game. And backtracking in FF12 for that zodiac weapon I previously posted about. I guess there was a reason I played the first 1/3rd of FF13 and just returned it. Basically all of final fantasy is a mistake Fat Shat Sings fucked around with this message at 12:33 on Aug 30, 2016 |

ok here's a game play one. I was going to play Final Fantasy 8 and decided I'd be a cheating bastard and used a Gameshark to make all my characters level 99. The thought behind this just stomping through the entirety of the game as an unstoppable god. If you never played the game it takes about an hour or more to finally get to a point where you actually fight something. The first enemy I encountered was a Caterchipillar which is this stupid giant caterpillar thing. So I looked right at the screen and said "gently caress you you giant bug motherfucker!" and hit attack. the drat thing was still standing. I attacked it again, and again and it was practically unfazed. After about 15 minutes of fighting this loving thing I finally used the scan ability and to my horror I saw that the Caterchipillar was also level 99 which means this game employs the stupid "the enemies level with you" thing. So I was fighting a level 99 monster with level 1 equipment. Needless to say I had to restart. This time using an infinite HP code and proceeded to kick it's rear end in short order next time.

Got my v1.08 Hurricane/Armageddon Druid up to level 92 in Dialo II LoD. A rollback took me back to 91 and I lost steam after that. At launch, Druid spells could not deal damage; level 20 hurricane maxed out at 200-250 damage and level 20 Armageddon was about 500-600. It took me over an hour to solo nightmare Diablo by running around him in circles with hurricane while dodging attacks. Man, it / I sucked.

I used to get a game for a good report card. One of those times, I chose Back to the Future for the NES. Even as a 10-year-old, it didn't take me long to realize how bad the game was. I think I only ever got past the kissing minigame once. Never came close to beating the game, never bought any other BTTF games. My dad got Star Voyager when he bought the NES. We had a hell of a time deciphering that game, and really have no idea how far we got before we were blown up. Almost as impenetrable as Utopia on the Intellivision. At one point, we loaned our Intellivision and like 20 games to my dad's sister's family. They kept it for a while, then sold it all at a garage sale without asking us. Assholes.
