/vr/ - Retro Games

Great Bay area of Majora's Mask. So tedious.

>>702398

that level isn't that bad, its actually one of my favorites

Lighting- Half Pipe in F-Zero GX

>>702398
pff that level isn't even hard
once I realized that you could hold A to make the snake jump higher it was no problemo

I never beat DKC2 cause of Screech's Sprint. is that bad?

>>702464
Should just cheese it with the hidden barrels

Me: Cargo Bay level of Reboot that required you to mend the tear that appeared above the green water that contained the unkillable worm virus.

My Friend's: Clanker's Cavern. As a young child, that shit be scary.

>>702398
I want a DKC romhack where you play as a Buzzer now.

Jesus' dick I hate everything

>>702517
That's actually what that screenshot looked like to me too.

>>702398
That's exactly where I'm stuck now.

And I have no desire to move past it. fucking snake, fucking green shit

>>702517
...

I'd play the shit out of that.

>>702560
It's not hard. And the snake goes away after a bit. You get to play as spider and squawk, too.

>>702547

See that. Raise this.

>>702578
I really like Carnival Night. It's not like I get stuck at the barrel every time I play it. It was just that first time.

God I`m stuck in that level too while playing in my cellphone. Its hard as shit, fuckin snake keeps falling

also fuck tricky that little weiner

I know it's not conisdered retro here, but this is the one thing that will stop me from replaying that game ever again.
I'm the kind of guy who needs to finish a dungeon first before I can turn the console off, and this was just too much for one sitting especially because I didn't have any kind of walkthrough..

That sounds hellish on a small screen.

>>702445
Everything about Great Bay. The temple itself is just garbage.

never again

>>702547
Of any of the levels that I have played in any retro Sonic. This is the one stage I cannot beat. (Maybe if I use save states, but still). Then again, I suck at platforming. But still, Sonic 1 will be the one game in the Sonic franchise I have not beat.

>>702667
>>702676
It`s not that hard, thankfully my cell is touch and has buttons but hell if someone play it on an iphone or other shit.

I just wandered around while really high. Gained a lot of levels. I still have no idea how I got through that place

bump this fine thread

On the subject of DKC, Snow Barrel Blast. With all the barrels that are both moving up and down and spinning and with obstacles, timing is a nightmare. It doesn't help that you won't be able to save until you complete a couple of levels after it.

>>704731
So much this, I just recently played through it and this part gave me the most trouble through the whole thing

not that it wasn't cool the first time around, but shit replaying xen isn't fun ever at all.

>>702591
fuck, Chemical Plant is one of my favorite zones just because of the kickass music.

That and Oil Ocean

>>702547

>mfw I would struggle as a kid but can now master it.

>>702684
is it the boss you cant beat? Id agree that its the hardest boss out of the sonic genesis games

The fucking Casino/Pinball level in Sonic CD. Come to think of it, pretty much everything that's not the first couple zones in any Sonic game is more laborious than fun.

>>702398
>not the last level where you have to race that shitbag parrot

>>702757
>I just wandered around while really high.

Sounds like my experience with FF12 in a nutshell. The boss battles were fun though.

>>704821

>implying that level isn't awesome

>>702725

I always felt that this was way easier than this fucking level with Pete. That slap-bass is genius, though.

But nothing compares to this fucking level in the second one.

>Animal Antics
>Prepare your anus

>>704883
Pussy. Where's your cross and shield, pussy?

>>704846
It's awesome until you get blown into the brambles for the fifth time

>>704956

Never happens to me, but then again I basically melt DKC down and shoot it up. Those games are so easy for me.

>>702684

You can use cheats to choose any zone and act you can start from.

Scrap Brain is almost as hard, since the only really difficult thing about Labyrinth is the boss. It entices you to speedrun the obstacle course, so you're likely to fuck up, and the water forces you to go as fast as you can, so you're even more likely to fuck up.

Thank God beating him is not necessary to clear the level.

>>702398
Zombie village in Terranigma. Kills the pace of the game for me every time. I love it, but I dunno... I guess I should see it as a dungeon rather than a transition in story, but since it begins in a town I can't seem to see it that way.

>>705103

Couldn't disagree more.

>>705103
I understand. It's too long, too repetitive, and it's unclear what exactly the goal is.

But I feel this way about the fetchquests after North America opens up. They were mostly inane and slow-moving, and if you missed one little thing, you had to backtrack and talk to half of civilization to find it.

But Terranigma is still a good game

>>705190
Damn niggah, that's some nice argument you got here to disagree with a personnal opinion.

I even said I loved it but I just thought I hated the fact that it broke the pace of the game. What part of that do you disagree with?

>>705197
Terranigma is an awesome game, I love it so much. Growing up with it and buying it as a teen, because the cover looked awesome, best decision ever

>>705213
The whole thing.

>>704731
I think I've only competed that level once without using the shortcut, and I've played DKC religiously since it came out.

>>705213

The story told in the books you find inside the city is a tragic one that I love. What's more, the "monsters", well they...

>>705258
Damn, you disagree on the fact that I love it! How dare you!

It's my favorite Sonic game but the level design can be such bullshit.

BOY IT SURE WOULD SUCK IF I WAS ON TOP OF A REALLY TALL SCREW PLATFORM AND THREW MY NEARLY UNDODGABLE CLAWS AT YOU

second half of stage 2 in Ghosts n' Goblins, with the house that has those guys that throw the spike balls and you have to climb ladders
fuck that shit so hard

>>705407
...and then there's this asshole

>>702398

bullshit, look at this fuckin' thing

shit son I just replayed this level and i knew exactly WHERE you were talking about

IG-88 was terrifying to younger me.

Getting that fucking spring ball in Super Metroid

The quicksand...the wall jumping...

>>705754
Hey.
HEY!
HEY ASTERON!
FUCK YOU!

>>705754
fuck you, staryu. you're not even a sonic character, get the fuck out of that zone

incidentally... metro zone is EVERYONE's least favourite Sonic 2 level, right?

>>710449
Nope. Sky Chase is my least favorite.

>>704861
>this shit

>>710449
I don't care for Hill Top. It's just boring to me. The colors are nice though.

>>710558
Hill Top is literally a recolored Emerald Hill with lava, but I still like it.

>>704861

Really? I thought See Jim Run, Run Jim Run was much harder. It's brutally long and if you ever make the tiniest mistake, you basically have no chance of ever catching up again.

And then you have to start from the beginning again.

Moonlight sonata helps though.

This one for me. It's the reason I almost never play this game even though I love it.

The fourth chapters of the paper Mario games are my least favorite, I've quit 2 playthroughs on this ToyBox level (I like the boss, though).

>>711353
So much this! I think half the letdown for Toy Box may just be to it being right after the Invicible Tubba Blubba chapter, which was fucking awesome chapter, and Peach solid snaking around the castle was the icing. So when you get done you're basically:

>Oh man oh man I wonder what's next
>toy bullshit
>have to fix train tracks
>useless new sidekick
>terrible music
>feed some fat fuck to get him out of your way

>>704861

I'll see your mildly annoying level and raise you and even more annoying level.

>>711421

Yea, and in TTYD you have backtrack: The Chapter right after the very fun (particularly if you're doing a challenge run) Glitz Pit.

At least IS made the 4th chapter in SPM realitively decent, thought that entire game was pretty meh.

>>702591
if you fall down that bit, you can go to the waving pipes, spindash and immediately jump, you'll shoot up out of the water if you do it right
>>702578
surely it's not too much bother once you know how to do it?

>>702628
oh fuck the memories

>>711421
>useless new sidekick
Okay, now that's going too far. Watt is one of the better partners.

>>711453
>not airships

>>711353
>not loving that level
I want to play Paper Mario now. Fuck Chapter 3 though.

>>711353
I loved the boss in that chapter, but otherwise it was the second worst.
The flower thing was worse.

>>711548

>tfw we'll never see a Paper Mario that builds off of the classic and TTYD partner systems

>>711353
actually is easy, when i was a kid it was one of the hardest chapters, but right now to me is not a challenge

but, huff n puff...that's a son of a bitch

I can't think of any. However, I can easily think of levels that single-handlely make me want to play a game.

>>702570

NO YOU PIECE OF SHIT THAT'S A DIFFERENT LEVEL HOW STUPID CAN YOU BE

>>702620

>>712434
gamecube is not retro , by that logic ps2 and xbox should be too,

This whole game in general is fucking amazing

But getting 100% in these levels...

>>712429
did you play the game ?
You DO play as squawks and spidey

>>712434
I don't get real anal about what's retro and what isn't. In other places, I'll talk about the GameCube and the PS2 as retro. But here, the rules say it isn't so that's what I think we all should just accept here. The "what's retro" debate is stupid as fuck. Calling yourself a "retro gamer" is for faggot hipsters.

>>712450
what?
I am genuinely confused by what you are trying to say here...

>>712456
as expected

>>712450
>implying that it even fucking matters

Hipster faggot get out.

>>712458
ok go talk to other places about six gen being retro just don't do it here

>>>/v/

>>712476
You clearly don't understand what's important about loving these games. It's not about the self-satisfaction that comes with being a "retro gamer NES is best hurr durr." It's about loving video games, not labels. You are a hipster.

and we already have a board for loving "these" games (six gen and up) and it is not this one

>>712494
You have a point. That's why I don't talk about those games here. I simply accept /vr/s definition of what's retro for the sake of convenience. I don't nitpick about the "retro" question at all in general, because it just doesn't matter to me.

Hilltop Zone in Sonic 2, just because it's So.Fucking. Dull. And the music is shit.

I always do it anyway though, because the payoff is Mystic Cave!

>>712476
Calm your autism.

>>702578
I disagree on that
>>702591
and that too.

Carnival Night isn't bad at all as an adult, it was annoying as shit as a little kid when I had crap for memory. Chemical Plant becomes much more fun when you figure out how to skip the water parts entirely.

Dude you fags need to learn to start playing the Xbox 360 this shit is old and for gays.

>>712587
add me on live i'm XxxNaruSePhIrOt420DudeexxX

Not sure why the game even has multiple lives. Die once and its over.

>>712610
Yep. It's called Konami Syndrome.

HOLY SHIT WHY DIDN'T I REMEMBER THIS SUICIDE TRIP

FUCK!

The falling block section of Castlevania 3
Stage 4 of almost every shmup I have ever played
The beginning of most JRPGs
The water/quicksand part of Super Metroid
Megaman 7's final boss

>>712996
>the beginning of JRPGs

I second this, and I lol'd

>>712996
>Stage 4 of every shmup
This. So much this.

>>704861
Kill everything on the stage, then push the bomb. It's a bit tedious but makes the stage 10 fold easier. Only way I beat it.

>>704939
>>712683
Me and a bro beat that game, he played like 3/4ths of it because I kept dying. Shit's brutal as fuck. Something about the super close view and the way it controls always throws me off in DKC/2/3. It's just odd.

>>704758
>this part on hard
You can tell the game was not designed for that to work. The vortigaunts have no delay to their electricity and are always accurate and they never stop respawning. Fucking hated that part. I think I had to use no clip to clear one of the bigger jumping puzzles at the end because of this.

>>702725
>>702628
I don't think I ever legit beat this. One reason I liked EWJ 2 more.

>>711432
What stage was this again? I got there once and forgot everything.

Eh, my GX vote goes to Cosmo Terminal: Trident.

DKC2 but Animal Antics, the one where you switch between all the animal buddies. Specifically the bird part

fuck that shit. I don't think I've ever beaten that level

E4M2 of Thy Flesh Consumed episode of Ultimate Doom.

>>712434
>gamecube isn't retro

Its gonna have to be in a couple years. Considering Gen 8 is nearing, and Gamecube is nearly 12 years old.

>>713398
Ergh. That level has the most cruel use of Cacodemons for a second level. Not even Plutonia was that insane in its early levels.

>>702578
That level is easy. Just keep pressing up and down without jumping. Took me MANY lives to realize I could do that, too. But once I figured that out it was nothing.

>>702578
>Carnival Night

That barrel loses all meaning once you actually know how to do that section.

>>702547
One thing I liked about Sonic 1. The levels were actually pretty difficult.

Sonic 2 was easy as hell for most of it, including chemical plant if you're familiar with it. Metropolis and Death Egg are quite literally the only challenging parts of the game.

Sonic 3 and S&K are also mostly easy. Not nearly as easy as 2, but still. I hate that combining the two made the 3 levels even easier. Launch Base (3 alone only), Sandopolis and Death Egg being the only challenging levels.

>>713626
I'd argue that Lava Reef was also fairly challenging.
More than Sandopolis, at least.

Also, I didn't post Labyrinth because it's too hard. I just find the entire zone incredibly slow and boring, I hate the boss "fight", and I hate that Act 3 of Scrap Brain is basically Labyrinth Zone Act 4.
There's no slopes in the level for you to do Sonic-stuff like rolling into a ball on either. It's all just slow floaty underwater platforming on big brown blocks.

>>710558

Love Hill Top for the Jesus lava walk.

>>710449

I actually like Metropolis a lot for the challenge, although 3 acts is always too many and it can get annoying.

>>712396

It's not hard, just boring and tedious.

Fuck this level up the ass.
Worst part is that you beat it. Then you get to the last boss and die. Now you have to redo it. Have fun.
