Apparently even in the realm of NARRATIVE DRAMA there are still lost souls that will see a numbered list of episodes and start at anything but the first. I dig Umineko's (a friggin' visual novel) approach more of locking all story episodes but the first until you finish the previous one in the proper chronological order, while still showing an unlock button next to each episode that you can click at any time if you really want to start there, and still making it abundantly clear that you should start from Episode 1. Solution: Unlock unlockables with a cheat code, like in the old days. Inside source says this is actually, actually the reason why. >devs are forced to lock hard mode so that people won't do this >immediately pick the hardest difficulty when offered >group of playtesters think they're hot shit (they aren't) It's all because of focus group play testing. Gamers who regard "You died, try again chum!" as some mortal affront to their H4RDCORE CREDENTIALZ aren't the sort I'd trust to know the difference. I'm reminded of Bob Marley's "One good thing about music: when it hits you, you feel no pain." Noobs act like vg death is a war crime, or (donning their best cod-professorial robes) "bad gaem design." Extreme difficulty certainly can be reliant on poor design, but it's just as likely to be carefully calibrated for battle-hardened experts. As-is, they just ruin high-end difficulty modes for those of us who aren't too precious to learn from our mistakes. If they were cranking it to max, getting thrashed, and accepting that's just the risk you run when you ask a game to hit you as hard as it can (without first learning the ropes), there'd be nothing to say. Needless to say, the jokers Squire's dev mentioned are a different kettle of fish. Elevator Action Returns is another of the rare arcade titles I think is best played on max difficulty, which deletes the generous wakeup between an enemy seeing you and opening fire. So I bumped it to Level 8, and all was right in the world (their standing shot is still pretty weak, but they'll much more aggressively go into magdump mode).
I felt awful for Shock Troopers' zako, because I don't play it for score, so their deliberately weak Level 4 offense (facilitating a risky, score-boosting roll-in slash) was being met with my merciless noob fusillade. Oh yeah, I do too sometimes - I'm sure a lot of us here are the same. The other two characters from what I've played are nice, but I see little reason to use them over Mustapha (to make it easier ) or Mesh (because he's the most satisfying to play). When I play with Mustapha, the game feels more clearable, but I don't feel as satisfied by the gameplay itself, making me feel like I should switch to Mesh to have more fun. when I play Cadillacs with Mesh (my favorite) it feels really hard, especially the dual boomerang boys, and I want to clear some easier stuff. Thanks I'll keep these in mind! I gave up on Cadillacs to focus on FF (I was playing both at first) and think I want to learn something else now because of a brain glitch of sorts. If you want something different try the sword games, they are all good and play quite different to FF, Tower of Doom might be my favorite beat 'em up, though it's a bit hard to get into. If you want more FF-style games, Punisher, WoF, Cadillacs and AvP (though AvP substantially tweaks the formula by nerfing grabs), are perfect for that. I've spent hours just practicing the last screen before Belger with both Haggar and Cody just for the fun of it lol. I'll give it an honest attempt just because the game is still really fun to me but if it's not getting anywhere, I'll be satisfied with just how much fun I've had with Haggar tbh. Haggar is better on a handful of portions (especially in the endgame, which definitely matters) but in general using him leads to more stupid deaths, and it never got to the point where a 1cc felt realistic at all. The reason I ended up clearing with Cody is that Cody is straight up easier. Well, him and Cody are basically a different game, they're both fun in different ways. I mained Haggar for a while and if I had to say I think he's the most fun character in the game. If any1 wants to recommend me a good fun game to 1cc, I like to know if there's any characters that are particularly funny! sometimes there's a lot of options but not necesasrily easy to really understand the true appeal/potential of the one you're usingĬlear FF with Haggar, it's a quite different and rewarding experience.
