i always forget how to get them

My erect penis

Am I right guys

>>2511416
nice

>>2511409
gerudo fortress training grounds

>>2511424
i thought thats where you get the biggest quiver

>>2511429
that's the horse shooting gallery thing
i might be wrong with the name, but it's the dungeon thing in the gerudo fortress

Any item that is only used for a single puzzle and then that puzzle type never comes up again.

MM2 weapons that aren't the metal blade.

MP recovery items in Lunar Silver Star Story. I was saving them up with the expectation of using them only when I really need to.

>>2511478
Twilight Princess was such a bad offender in this regard, holy shit.

>>2511524
I WANTED TO USE THE SPINNER, HOLY FUCK.

MAKE THE SPINNER MORE USEABLE.

>>2511501
But you need the crash bombs for the dragon and that one boss in wily's castle.

>>2511569
And to break through a particular block puzzle in the castle, if I'm remembering correctly.

>>2511624
That's what I said.

>>2511627
I have one, for some reason. It works with Super Spike Volleyball, which is legitimately fun with four players. Almost anything is fun with four players, though.

A second controller to play with someone.

>>2511786
Ough, right in the feels, anon. Right in the feels.

I can't wait to play all these games with my robotic operating buddy!

>>2511523
I do that with almost all RPG items, especially the recovery items. Then I never need them, even for the final boss. One of the rare exceptions is FFIV, where I spam the slow and stop items against parties of tough enemies.

>>2511873
>One of the rare exceptions is FFIV
This is what I found really interesting about the game.

If you go in bare-leveled, you HAVE to throw everything at Zeromus or you just can't win.

They really nailed the difficulty curve.

>>2511526
>spinner was fucking amazing in the equally pretty great dungeon it was used in
>only used for some minor bullshit outside of the dungeon
What the fuck.

>>2512035
this really bothered me when I first played it.

Light arrows in OOT/MM anyone?

>>2515101
At least in wind Waker light arrows instantly kill an enemy in a really cool explosion of light.
And at least the spinner isn't the dominion Rod, which literally stops working after you take it out if the dungeon.

>>2515101
You use the light arrows in OOT to beat the fucking game

Yoshi's cookies in Mario RPG.

Most of the Unique equipment in Diablo 1.

Status-type magic and items in FF6 aside from Quick ( gray magic or whatever? )

Items in Strategy/Tactic games that you can use to deal damage. I'd have them on characters inventories forever, thinking I may need them for some kind of situation, but end up never using them.

Great Fairy Sword in Zelda: Majora's Mask.
I never ever use it, but I always get it anyway.

The Frog Suit in Super Mario Bros. 3
I fucking hate the Frog Suit, even in water levels.

>>2515175
The butcher's cleaver was pretty fucking good if you were a warrior. I spent like, 80% of the game with it.

Then i switched to that sword griswold gives to you after the anvil of fury quest.

Most of the other uniques were ass though, they all had some kind of annoying drawback. None of the unique trinkets were good.

Elixiers in every Final Fantasy and JRPG in general. Let's just save it for when I REALLY need it.

>>2515175
>Great Fairy Sword in Zelda: Majora's Mask.
>I never ever use it, but I always get it anyway.
Mostly just because you get it at endgame when there's no more use for it.

>>2511569
You know that the dragon dies at 2 full charged atomic fire blasts in the face, right?

>>2511390

Rupees in pretty much any Zelda game

>>2515218
I didn't know this, I always used Quick Boomerang.

The Flute from MM6: Mandate of Heaven

Also, any spellscrolls from that game, just not worth it unless you have zero casters in your party.

>>2515218
And one crash bomb to the gut. What's your point?

Items in basically every JRPG
>don't want to use items on regular enemies, gotta save them for bosses where I'll need them
>feels like cheating to use items to defeat the boss, figure out how to do it without them
>finish the game with 99x everything

>>2516447
Elaborate, before you make yourself look any stupider.
>Rupees are useless

>>2516563
Not him but are you serious m8, rupees and by extension shops are pretty useless in almost every Zelda game after the beginning. The only time they have any real use is when there's an obstacle that requires spending rupees which shows up in almost every zelda game and after that they're worthless again.

>>2516539
Why would you waste Crash Bombs on the first boss when they are REQUIRED for a later boss? The dragon goes down easy with Atomic Fire (only useful for Wood Man, who is weak to Metal Blade) or a few Quick Boomerangs (virtually infinite supply)

>>2516539
Oh, I get it. You probably get several game overs on every Wily stage and just mash continue so preserving weapon energy isn't something that even crosses your mind.

the bridge in the first legend of zelda
the mask in majora's mask from the milk bar that does nothing except give you a bottle in the 3DS remake
the legend of zelda seems like a really bad offender

>>2516635
>the bridge in the first legend of zelda
The ladder?
You use it as many times as you're required to.

Is ocarina of time worth replaying on a 3DS in 3D? The only reason I would buy a "New 3DS" would be to play Zelda tittles.

>>2516682
it's the same game with better graphics, you unlock mirrored master quest dungeons once you beat it

>>2511390
Are you able to use the Ice arrows to make small platforms on the water? I remember being able to make small platforms on the water with the ice arrows, however its been a while I've played OCT. Forgot if this was useful or not. I think it was outside the ice stage cave.

>>2516690
nope, that only works in majora's mask

>>2516690
As >>2516691 said it's only in Majora's Mask - the ice platforms in front of the frozen cavern are always there when you're an adult.

>>2516682
Is the game still 60 bucks physical?

>>2516635
>the bridge in the first legend of zelda
You use it a lot in the dungeons to skip over water.
Did you mean the raft? I think that's only used twice in the entire game.

>>2515137
Yeah, but that's all they're for.
Like the silver arrows in Zelda 1 and 3.

>>2516617
Using a single crash bomb (if that actually kills it) wouldn't be that big of a deal because you're going to get at least one weapon refill before the boss where you're required to have it.

>>2515117
All they would've had to do is just put a spinner track or two in each dungeon after you get the spinner to make it feel like it wasn't completely worthless.

Damn shame they didn't because the dungeon it was from was the best dungeon, hands down.

>>2511627
This thing actually made Nightmare on Elm Street fun as fuck.

Nightmare on Elm Street gets a bad rap because people try to play it like it's a single player game, which is retarded, it's like trying to play a single player fps.

>>2515175

Same.

You can coast through FF6 with Cure, Life, Remedy, Fire, Ice, Lightning, and Ultima in addition to Techs and Espers.

>>2517034
>Spinner tracks in sky dungeon.
>Great peril as you wall-skateboard over certain death.

>>2517038
>it's like trying to play a single player fps.

There are plenty of good single player FPS

>>2517173
Do NOT respond to idiots.

>>2516562
I use items on bosses you are suppose to lose on but can beat them. Fucking Kratos man, shit was hard without items. And Extra bosses usually too.

>>2511390
It's useful against Volvagia
That is if you're like me and the frist thing you do after becoming an adult is getting Epona and then getting the Giant's Knife before doing any Temples

>>2517173

Name 10.

>>2516447
So much this.

My brother and some of my friends used to bitch about the 999 rupee limit in LttP and I used to be like "But after the bottle and the flippers you don't really buy shit"

>>2516682
Nigger, it's hand held OOT. I don't even like that game and I want it

>>2518362
Doom
Blood
Quake
Wolfenstein 3D
Duke Nukem 3D
Hexen
Half-Life
Half-life 2
Blood 2
Duke Nukem Manhatten Project
Turok
Turok 2

Or did you mean exclusively single player?

>>2518379
> Or did you mean exclusively single player?
It could go either way honestly. I'm just looking to expand my collection. Thanks anon :)

>>2518387
>I'm just looking to expand my collection
Oh, cool. I thought you were trying to say there are no good single player fps.

I never use any item. Always save them for later.

>>2518379
>Turok
Really?

>>2518345
explain

>>2511786
Pretty real.

>>2518379
>"But after the bottle and the flippers you don't really buy shit"
You can expand your quiver and bomb capacity

>>2518379

But, Douk Manhattan Project is a platformer...

>>2519674

Yeah change it to red faction then.

>>2519674
Yeah, I guess you're right. I could have sworn there was another 3D on on the N64 other than Duke Nukem 64 but I guess not.

>>2518345
>It's useful against Volvagia

Anyone who sequence breaks hard enough that they have the Ice Arrows before beating the Fire Temple doesn't fucking need them for Volvagia.

Elixirs.

It's not even useful in the water levels.

>>2522714

wtf, yes it is. you can swim 10x as well with the frog suit, and you can swim against currents. iirc that makes a certain area accessible.

>>2518964

Turok is a great classic FPS. So many shooters forgot how to into big guns and raw action once 3D kicked in.

Fuck Doom 3.

>>2522714
Except it's fucking great for water levels.

>>2519089
When Volvagia is flying above dropping rocks on you, you can take a couple shots with ice arrows

Paired with jumping attacks from the Giant's Knife you can take out Volvagia in 2 cycles

>>2522742
>Swim against currents

OH. MY. GOD. I know EXACTLY where this can be used!

saw this
>>2511524

>>2511526

>>2511524
Twilight Princess was a bad offender in every regard.
It was a poorly designed game, with an ugly inconsistent artstyle, with a terrible convoluted story way too full of unneeded fanservice (Zelda and the Triforce were pointless to the story and they shouldn't have ruined Zant's character development to just randomly just Ganondorf into the story when he isn't even needed) and asspulls.
Not to mention the absolutely empty and boring Hyrule field and most of the dungeons being bland and tedious.
A complete lack of challenge as well. The boss in the water temple was practically a parody of Zelda villains.

>>2518362
Halo 1 (specifically the CE version for PC) (wasn't really focused on multiplayer until the second, first had a great story mode and a lot of awesome levels with the exception of Library)

Metroid Prime (yes, it was mostly a platformer but it was definitely an FPS as well)

Far Cry 4 (grappling hook makes things so much fun)

Half Life 2 (I honestly never really got into this game but I can see that it's a good game and worth the praise it gets)

Doom (simple but perfect)

Call of Duty 4 (had a fantastic campaign mode. The only CoD game I've ever actually had fun with)

Perfect Dark (I haven't played it in a while so I don't quite know how good it's aged, but I remember loving this, and from what I understand from others it hasn't aged too badly)

Black (just fucking crazy fun)

Fallout 3 (yeah, your zoom screen thing did most of the killing, but it was still an FPS in most ways and is one of my favorite RPG's)

Chronicles of Riddick (specifically the Xbox 360 one, so much fun and probably one of the best descended games ever next to the first Arkham Asylum, South Park RPG, and DBZ: Legacy of Goku 2)

>>2522765
It's been ages, but I remember hating the weekend I rented Turok because the controls were SO TERRIBLE.

>>2523691
>A complete lack of challenge as well. The boss in the water temple was practically a parody of Zelda villains.
Wow I can't even remember him.

>>2523691
I also can't forget how goddamn long it took for the game to get started, as well as those horrible fucking bug hunts with clunky ass wolf controls that forced you to make the already ugly artstyle look even worse.

>>2520467
Zero Hour which is one of the best duke games, but it's also not fps

>>2516691
It would be cool if you could actually do that in the game. Especially given that it would make getting past the fortress early worthwhile.

>>2517034
>>2512035
They should've made the spinner more powerful combat wise, I'm not even sure if you could actually damage units with it.

>>2523691
Twilight Princess implies that Ganon/Demise is the former king of the Twili. He's not just shoehorned in there.

>>2523706
Perfect Dark still plays pretty well. Even Goldeneye still plays reasonably well, though not having a reticle is can be a bitch sometimes.

>>2524071
I couldn't care less what the spinner does in battle. I just wanted it to have some application on the OVERWORLD.

If there were a way to give the spinner some AIR? Holy shit.

>>2511390

The bombuchus.

>>2511526

>So this sand dungeon is getting a little on my nerv...
>HOLY SHIT WHATS THIS SPINNER THING
>(humming Beyblade songs) FUCK YEAH
>End dungeon
>Can't wait to see more uses of it
>Just flip a couple of switches

What a tease

>>2515175

I had Shadowhawk drop on an early character and it was good for most of the dungeon. Even used it for some of Hell to get my light radius down enough to approach witch packs

Other than that 90% of the uniques in that game are only good if you get them on the first two or three floors.

>>2525445
I use them to fight iron knuckles without having to get close to them.

>>2525508
The uniques are great, my sorceror has seven. Of course, there is no good without bad.

>>2523691
>The boss in the water temple was practically a parody of Zelda villains.
The boss of the water temple in OoT was practical unloose able if you keep standing in the corner.
