/vr/ - Retro Games

It's just never going to happen. I can accept that now. But it's such a good game that I keep playing it anyway.

Like half my collection, easy. Including many from my childhood.

I've tried. I want to like the game, but it honestly has the worst controls I have ever encountered - And this is a side scroller!

Le Shouty Youtube Man would have a brilliant field day with this game.

Why was my post deleted?

It's been about 4 years since the last try. This time I got to the some kind of gladiator thing, then I just stopped playing.

I don't know why I've never beaten it since it seems to be ok and all. I just always seem to lose interest with it.

This thread actually makes me want to go for it once again. Hopefully it won't be another four years this time.

least you got the free t-shirt, right?

I can't beat Death. Is specially frustrating because in most gameplay videos you see they kill her in a few seconds.

>>2906294
IKTF bro. I haven't beaten ANY of the BoFs. The farthest I got was 4 where I got the false ending.

I think I used the cross heavily there. On the first form, focus on pelting him with crosses (especially look for the double icon, which can be found in that stage) and make sure you don't get hit by sickles.

Gradius III. I put it on normal and I just can't beat the first level. The game is just too brutal for me. I just kept going on and on with the same level but I didn't get much progress. I saw level two about two or three times and just died from a wall of bubbles.

I could do much better in Gradius I and II with so little practice than Gradius III.

Ecco, couldn't beat the final level and I tried many times. The few times I reached the final boss I died.

Look up the password to get to the final boss without playing the autoscroller. Learn the final boss. Then return to the autoscroller and do both in succession like you're supposed to so you can say you've completed the game without cheating.

Don't give up anons.I was literally 5 minutes ago trying to beat the D-4 stage of mario lost levels that I was stuck since I was 9 years old and finally 11 years late finished it!

That one's pretty hard OP, but play the Japanese version that is unbutchered. It's better.

>>2906552
Stop mentioning your age, it pisses me off.

>>2906554
Not to mention the VRC-6 audio.

This thread is bullshit. I believe that all of you guys can beat these games. PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE!!

YOU CAN DO IT!!!!

I get stuck all the time. We all do. They are NOT impossible. You are just a bunch of quitters.

tough shit, you autistic fuckwad

>>2906630
You beat Gradius III arcade then. I don't have that sort of time and the practice is better used on something else.

I am not that kid that comes home to play video games for a few hours a day anymore, I have other things to do, more interests, and I cannot be assed to spend that sort of time on a game.

I'm pretty sure his post was meant to be motivational.

I own this game on the SNES and the PSX. I had it emulated on my PSP, desktop computer, 3 phones, and a tablet. I used to have my save state stored on the cloud so I could go to any computer lab at my school between classes and play it.

I consider it one of my favorite games ever, and always get distracted with it after a dozen hours and move on to something else, or miss (or lose) a particular character or some other minor annoyance like not being well enough aligned or charismatic at a particular dialogue and get frustrated.

When I come back, I always want to start over from the beginning. There are 12 endings and I haven't seen one!

That's cheating no matter how you look at it.
>>2906554
Not the same if you have to play an easier version.

>>2906779
>That's cheating no matter how you look at it.
It is not cheating. You could accomplish the same thing by being rich, and having an army of servants completing the autoscroller for you on lots of machines at once, and letting you take over for the boss. It doesn't matter how you learn a game so long as the final playthrough is done legitimately.

You don't need to look for double item, it appears after you kill several enemies in a row with sub weapon, so if you want to have a full powered cross you simply need to use it on the medusa heads and knights in the hall leading to Death. Not sure about CV3 though, but that how it worked in the original one.

>>2906261
Bubble Bobble on Game Gear.

Needed secret items to get to the final level, no internet at the time to know where to get them, always missed one.

>>2906754
Sounds like a personal problem anon

>>2906261
One day I'll get past this friggin' house...

>>2906856
whats bullshit is you have to beat the entire game twice for the ending.

>>2906856
This part is a difficulty spike, it's somewhat easier after this bullshit house, fuck, keep believing in yourself !
