/vr/ - Retro Games

Megaman Legends. The jet skate race mini game.

So much this.

Unfortunately, this game eventually ends.

At least till you gravity jump everything

>>2416215
It is really easy to break the game at this point if you get tired of losing trying to beat him fairly.

>>2416223
I actually like that area, but I can never find an excuse to go through it during a playthrough since I always go the other way to the pipe.

>>2416215
That's one of the most fun parts of the game for me! Theif Ramza stealing his shit and then stabbing an unarmed man to death for the win in my books.

Ecco the Dolphin is mine. I can do the Machine pretty well, but even now the Asterite still gives me a hell whenever I get there.

>>2416224
Even then it's hello demons.

Castlevania 4.

The part near the end of the dungeon in draculas castle, where there are disappearing platforms for a floor. It has no pattern that i can see. I usually die there once or twice, every single time. You'd think beating the game so many damn times I would've found an easy way through that part by now, but nope.

>>2416203
I hate fucking mazes.

I've quit here a few times

I hate this place. Stuck right between my two favorite parts of the game, Moonside and Summers.

>>2416203
Surprised that's your least favorite part when the Desert of Death exists.

frog cid sneaking past a low level monster in a fucking cage in kuja's palace on a timer

fuck that whole part

>>2416308

>>2416203
I swear, this fucking part of the game was specifically designed to infuriate people.

I've never played anything with worse controls. Even winter games on the NES made more sense than this.

it's just a bit tedious

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ESqZb7hY1S0

>>2416308
I gave up at the final dungeon

I hope you like going sloooooooooow

>>2416308
>>2416215
whats the name of these games?

>>2416448
Aw man, I loved all the Dark Ages part. It's easily my favourite part of the game.
https://youtu.be/iSP-_hNQyYs

>>2416462
Xenogears and Final Fantasy Tactics.

Hexen
everything until you get the Wraithverge

Gehennom in NetHack is incredibly dull but I can't decide whether I hate it more than the Plane of Air.

>>2416308
>>2416417

>Random battles?

FINE

>Jumping?

Ill manage, it doesn't control TOO badly

>Random battles that pop up mid jump and thus destroy all of your momentum sneding you plummeting straight down as soon as you get back

Fuck you

>>2416234
Fantastic game. I replayed that part over and over as a kid to get the timing down

>>2416427
Winter Games had a manual that explained their games pretty well. But I guess if you didn't have it I can see how it would be confusing.

The Chicago level on crimson skies

>>2416623
I forgot about that part. Fuck. Yes... that's the worst.

I'd have to jump onto a ledge and run around for a random battle in order to 'get it out of the way' before the next ledge.

Fuck that place.

>>2416215
fuck that fucker. On my first playtrougth i probably played it 40 times, changing jobs and abilities until i managed to take him down.

I still remember i used red shoes+summoner with some double damage shit and titan, with ramza.
I don't remember the rest of the characters but i probably went with a coward mustadio shooting from far, and agrias

Wasn't half as bad if you kept a map/note of the whole links after your first playthrough.

>>2416275
If you do the Yell + Focus thing, just make sure you've got a strong weapon on, use Two Swords if you can, and you can crown Velius over the head and one-shot them. You keep the same stats that you had when you fought him in the first half, and he'll go down just about as easy as he did last time if you can still get two rounds before he gets one.

As for my own game, I absolutely love Breath of Fire IV.

Then THIS SHIT HAPPENS AT THE END.

>>2417608
I tried the yell trick. Killed form 1 easy enough, but when I was killed in form 2, went to insta-crystal because of the speed.

>>2416308
The sewers are just a bit too long, and Redrum is an annoying boss fight. (Sure hope you enjoyed that fight because you get to do it again!)

>>2416417
YESSSS. Fuck you, Tower of Babel.

This fucking asshole.

Fuck

Toy Commander was my jam when the Dreamcast came out. There were a couple of missions I used to play over and over, all from the same room/level. One of them was the one from the picture, where you had to exterminate a bunch of bugs, and another one where it was a race that ended with you driving into a toilet. Such a fun game. I need to play it again.

let's just get this outta the way

>>2417681
And I just now realized I read the first post wrong. The garage missions were awful in Toy Commander. Easily the worst part of the game.

>>2417674
That and the dolphin.

>>2416295
Oh dammit

>>2417702
Both of those parts were fucking easy.

>>2417727
It wasn't that they were 'hard', they were just nonsensical and annoying.

I don't know about that other guy, but it took me a solid five to ten minutes on each part because I kept missing by pixels on stuff.

N Gin in crash bandicoot 3.

Xenogears seems like bullshit parts: the game. I'm scared to ever play it

>>2417760
Its like minimum 30 hours first playthrough of boring tedium with too much dialogue and exposition about shit that you don't care about.

Xenogears very much takes a "tell, don't show" premise and its really annoying.

>>2416203
Man, I used to love that minigame so much. I'd spend days powering Beyd up to the point where even my strongest attacks would roll off as zeroes, and he was one-shotting Garr with Defense Up.

>mfw the game tells me that you can secretly help him fight Zig

Would've loved to have him be a permanent group member by the end there.

Fuck this dumbass meathead faggot.
>hurr I don't have any cool weapons or robots i'll just fucking throw you like a piece of shit

>>2417608

Yes yes we all know Yuna deserves to die but it makes so much sense that he gets off, especially if you subscribe to the theory that he creates Myria

>>2417792
Indeed. As much as I want him to die, I follow the idea of him creating Myria (and giving Deis a body as well, probably after creating Myria and having perfected making artificial bodies, so that his subjects don't have to turn into writhing blobs of flesh). I have a hard time convincing people that IV doesn't take place after III, even when I point out that {spoiler}she dies with Myria at the end of III[/spoiler], though.

Headcanon is that Myria brutally murders him before I.

>>2417806
>Headcanon is that Myria brutally murders him before

Well yeah, of course he gets butchered at the hands of his greatest creation. That goes without saying. Probably devoured alive slowly by one of her extra mouths

>>2416623
what game?

>>2417772
If you throw your friend and your friend does a jump kick after being thrown it does so much damage that you can kill all the bosses in about five seconds.

Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory

the level with the guys that all have thermal vision

>>2417836
>what game?

Xenogears. A RPG that's pretty good. With some parts that aren't. But overall it's good

>>2417853
>tfw no friend to play coop with

SMRPG: Land's End. No idea why, maybe because I'd end up there near the end of my rental time, but that's always an "ugh" moment.

>>2417814
...It feels really weird that I was deeply pleased with the visuals of this.

>>2417806
Also, what the fuck, I don't have problems with putting up spoilers until I get on /vr/, and now every other damn time I try to spoiler something, I either forget or fuck it up. What the Hell, me.

>>2417884
it's alright, everyone thinks myria looks gorgeous

>>2417884
>...It feels really weird that I was deeply pleased with the visuals of this.

Why? I mean 4 was overall prettier but 3 didn't exactly have bad sprite work by any mea...Oh you meant boner.

Well those are tits only covered by loose hair attached to the monster vajayjay.

>>2417889
>>2417918
I meant the idea of Myria chowing down messily on Yuna. Not a boner, but the kind of thing that makes me cackle both madly and happily. Schadenfreude, basically, but on a much darker note than seeing a biker run into a signpost.

>>2417926

it's not schadenfreude if they deserve it

FF9, all minigames, including the one with Cid in Desert Palace.

>>2417929
True enough.

This stupid useless fat sack of shit.

Fuck this level so much.

Misadventures of tron Bonne
the lack of doujinshi for tron Bonne

The dolphin becomes easymode once you learn all you have to do is press the button twice and not move an inch.

There's like 50 on sadpanda alone.

>>2416643
I always felt that one of the greatest errors in creating Quake was the exclusion of Doom's berserk pack. Sure, you had Quad Damage, Rings of Invisibility, and even the Pentagram of Protection, all of which are lots of fun, but no damage amp/attack speed increase for your Axe?

I can breeze through this stage without losing a life nowadays, but the Mansion of Terror in Double Dragon II always cost me a perfect run when I was a kid.

>>2416203
Sup OP

I came here to post this >>2416354

>>2416427
wasn't there some TAS video showing how fucked up the mechanics of that race are?

Fuck this whole place, and the Seaside Palace before it as well

Skies of Arcadia
The Green Moon Stone Crystal story arc.
Don't know why, but that segment is like the slowest part of the game for me.
Probably the only thing I like about being there is hearing the bongos play during the overworld theme.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-dU9DUF_Zk

>>2417674

this game looks so much better when it's not upscaled and played on a CRT

Fuck this level, when I get to this point the rest of the game is a chore. Love his game so much though.

>>2417940
I like a lot of the minigames in FFIX (at least most are optional) but fuck the Cid one.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BEQwLA2H2Z8&ab_channel=Nashblitz

>>2418610
Well, frogcatching and hot and cold aren't that bad, but the other optional ones are pretty awful

>>2416448
>>2416464

I misread the OP, i thought he meant favorite part, this is why i posted Zeal. It is actually my favorite part of Chrono Trigger.

My least favorite part of Chrono Trigger are the domes in the Ruined World(2300AD).

Inside of them are mazes of destruction, and coupled with the aura of sadness of the whole Ruined World they are the only places in all of the game i hurry to get out of.

>>2418618
I actually sorta liked the card game and also liked the dueling one near the beginning of the game and similar little things like that throughout the game, if we're counting those. I can't remember, but were there any terrible ones besides the Cid one that were mandatory?

>>2418713
Well...

>>2418723
>Filename
>Not queen_brahne_was_not_amused
This saddens me.

>>2418741
Just took it of google, didn't look at the filename tbh

>>2418004
Thank you for putting up this awesome platformer. I decided to give up on thos game because of that level, since I wasn't able to win the boss.

Collision detection is not so good here. Anyway, I always take another route.

What a pile of bullshit. I'll never get those 10 hours back.

>>2418696
In all honesty, the Dark Ages is probably my least favorite era in the game. Nothing ever ends well after a visit there.

>>2416203
literally 10 hours of loading per cast

A couple of the games were too easy. The difficulty on mm1 was just right.

>>2421287
>the Dark Ages is probably my least favorite era in the game
Nooo, dude. How?

It's the time period where the realest stuff goes down. The atmosphere is fantastic, Zeal specifically. Yeah, nothing "ends well" there, but I don't see how it could be someone's (who enjoys CT) least favorite era. It doesn't have to be your favorite, though I do believe it's a lot of people's favorite, but how can it be your least favorite?

In fact, on my last replay, when Chrono dies is when I stopped playing. Not because of that event, but because I realized I only wanted to play up to the Zeal events

>>2416223
The only part I don't like is the Ghost Ship, all that fucking waiting and nothing actually happening.

But even then it's over pretty soon.

>>2418696
>My least favorite part of Chrono Trigger are the domes in the Ruined World(2300AD).
I share this feeling.
Asides from the ambient sadness, everything looked grey and disgusting and from stinky sewers to the bland factories, the areas were crap.
I mean, I understand it's a post apocalyptic scenery, but the game as a whole was meh at that point.

My 2nd least favourite would probably be the Prehistory.

>captcha asks me to select soup picture
>example image isn't soup
>no actual soup in the panel either

The quality takes a nosedive as soon as you enter the Fleapit. 8 different vehicles you have little to no experience using, and the variety of the Akrillic levels are replaced with a copy and pasted background and soundtrack.

Kirby Super Star: The remake of Dreamland 1 and DynaBlade should have been cut out. The other 3 minigames are perfect, and those two stretch the game's environments too thin while not offering much in unique gameplay.

>>2417665

and then you do it again

>>2421321

Those underwater levels with the spikes at the top of the screen, which will kill you if you jump too high.

This includes underwater levels disguised as other levels, like Venus and Star Man.

>>2421259
And then Link Between Worlds took the homage so far as to make the skull woods dungeon the worst one in THAT game too.

As a kid I was thinking "They won't..."

Usually around this part is when I start having a little trouble.

>>2420512
you best be trolling nigger


>70+ floors of randomly generated bullshit
>the same 10 screens repeated ad nauseum
>so excruciatingly boring that I was literally dozing off as I was playing
>had to actually mute the TV and put on some music other than the game soundtrack, just to keep myself awake
>the only game I've ever done this for

And then there's your reward for going through this - the True End, which is the most flaccid cop-out of an ending I think I've ever seen.

>doesn't resolve jack shit
>feels completely anticlimactic and underwhelming compared to the supposedly Bad End
>not followed up on in the sequel in any way at all
>no EXP for killing True Eve (and speaking of True Eve, fuck that cheating little whore and her incremental healing garbage)
>no cool unlockable
>not even a goddamned CGI sequence
>no allowing you to finally go back to the storyline proper and kill the goddamned Ultimate Being with your hideously overpowered Exterminatus gun like you're supposed to because all those people on that aircraft carrier are counting on you

That's all you get after 70 floors of some of the most skull-crushingly boring, autistic grinding.


"LET'S GO HOME, MAYA"


The story just ends.


But do you want to know what the absolute worst fucking part of it is?

It doesn't let you do a New Game+ save afterwards.

That's right. As a final cockslap, the game basically refuses to acknowledge that you've beaten it.


tl;dr Chrysler Building is the worst optional dungeon I've ever seen in a vidya, and I'm getting legitimately pissed off just thinking about it.


You'll never get those 10+ hours back, anon. Watch it on Youtube or something if you're curious.

Just don't fucking do it.

I hate the top down sand level in Contra III, but I chuckle when I think of the music, because it reminds me of my cousin having a big seizure when I was at his house and having to get taken by an ambulance. I picture his face and body twisting around and being wracked by pains in time to the sand level music, and laugh every time.

The Hell Gate in Tactics Ogre.

I reply Tactics Ogre every year or so since about 1998, and, while I know it's not required yo beat the game, I feel OBLIGATED to do the Hell Gate at least once.
It's so fucking tedious, but when you find a battle with unique stuff, that feel is amazing...

You can even get it stuck like the second level boss from MS2.

one day I'll get pumpkin grill to join

>>2418723
I actually gave up the game when I couldn't complete that part, and I never replayed it. It has been more than five years since then.

>>2423062
You can get her to join without doing the Hell Gate and getting the pumpkins. You just have to (iirc) buy 99 of any item. She just doesn't come with a spell and certain equipment. She is awesome without it, and finding 10 pumpkins can take multiple trips through the Hell Gate. What I wanted was the special equipment, spells, and unique abilities from it.

I love the fuck out of DQ games for their lighthearted adventure. They get really boring to me when shit starts to get serious.

>>2421365
Part of it, I suppose, is how immoral and supremacist so many of the Enlightened Ones are. The hubris they display is almost sickening, and I would honestly have a hard time not punching someone in the face if they kept talking about how much better they are than the Earthbound Ones, peak of human power or not.

Another part is how everything I see is depressing because I know it all comes to a messy, death-laden end; even as a little kid, I had a sense of dread, knowing that everything there was about to go wrong, and all that beauty and power would disappear because people were arrogant pricks that thought they could freely sap away the power of an entity with strength on a cosmic scale and not expect repercussion.

Yeah, being a moralfag is pretty stupid in some cases, but I just can't help looking at Zeal and thinking that, as cool and gorgeous as it was, so much of it was born of greed and selfishness. Something about the whole experience just leaves a bad taste in my mouth, and I'm not all that fond of the asshole voice in the back of my head that tells me they had it coming and got their just desserts, but that was about half of the world's population, gone in a few moments, which in turn makes me feel like one cold son of a motherless goat.

I suppose it's just me being too analytical for my own good.

Also, I kinda have the hots for Queen Zeal, and long to see what she was like before she went all crazy-bitch on the world.

>>2422486
This part was pretty irritating, but at least it wasn't the Desert of Death. I had a pretty fun time overleveling Ryu with Una to make him outdamage Scias using a regular weapon while our drunken dog friend used a +1 hit weapon. Using the trick to get Shadowwalk early made a lot of fights really easy.
