Don't defend this game's terrible design.

>>7964706
Never played it. What's bs about it?

>>7964952
>Oh no, i have to git gud to clear the game? Outrageous!
Absolute shit opinion. It's one of the best games on PS2.

>>7964959
It's been a while since I last played it:
>100 in-game coins to save (or beat a boss) and to travel between hub areas
>Limited shield durability when some enemy encounters want you to use your shield first then attack
>Some enemy hitboxes are poorly programmed, most times you'll get cheapshot damage before they go into their attack animation
>Shield Skeletons read your inputs, instantly blocking your attacks, game seems to love grouping more than 1 together
>Cryptic completion progression you'd need a guide to figure out
I can't really describe it. You'd have to play the game yourself to find out.

>>git gud
Nigga' over here thinks this shit's Dark Souls.

Army of Zin is, yes, but not this.

I've come to the last boss but with barely any health saved

>>7964706
This game sucks. Medievil is the real makaimura in 3d.

>>7965108
No need to save a bunch.
No need for shield at all.
Learn to dodge.
Stop sucking at the combat.
Just play the game normally you sperg.

>>7964706
>Artificial Difficulty
this is not a real thing

Why couldn't they have just called this series Ghouls N' Ghosts 3D? They would have gotten tons more attention and sales as a result. Nobody knows or gives a fuck about Maximo, this series didn't deserve to fail. Why the hell would you throw away the opportunity to use such powerful brand recognition like that? It doesn't make any goddamn sense.

>>7965613
Who knows. I wonder if it had to do with it being a Western developed game?

>>7965613
Maximo sold enough to be a PS2 Greatest Hit

>>7965446

>>7965181
What dark souls game is this?

>>7965167
Nah. Managing your resources is a key feature of Resident Evil. Inventory space just happens to be a resource.
What the player should be learning from your picture is that not everything needs to picked up immediately.
Capcom did artificially make REmake more difficult with shit like the broken door handle though.

>>7965741
I am sorry that you are handicapped son

Don't mind me, I just came into this thread to laugh at OP for sucking at a game I really enjoyed.

>>7966618
Keep spouting your empty buzzwords, we all know you haven't played this game and are just shitposting.

>>7964706
they made the sequel a lot easier

>>7968207
Not him but I've beaten the game and you must really suck at video games if this game is giving you this much of a tism fit.

>>7968256
>I think this game is bad.
>"LOL someone's having a meltdown!"
/vr/ posters are a bunch of tryhards I swear.

>>7968275
>y-y-you and y-your buzzwords
>y-you're just shitposting
>you haven't even p-played the game!

sssssssshhhhhhh... it's ok sweetcheeks, daddies going to make you feel alright just relax sssssshhhhhh... that's a good boy.

Don't know about that, but shit's pretty boring. Dropped it after about an hour.

>>7965613
I seem to vaguely recall that the game started development as a Ghosts 'n' Goblins game, but they couldn't get a control scheme with the lance that they were happy with and it felt weird for Arthur not to have his signature weapons, so they just made it an original series.

It's still a pretty flimsy excuse, overall though.

It wasn't hard, it was just very unforgiving. I do joke it's the original Dark Souls. If only you could at least pick up everything you lost at your place of death it would be a lot more tolerable.

I enjoyed the hell out of it but losing all that progress enough times just loses its appeal after a while.

Who the fuck actually thought Mega Man needed jarpig tier grindan?

>>7964706
This game isn't even hard, even by modern standards. Learn how to block, dude.

>>7965181
i'm kind of glad these kinds of platformers don't exist anymore

Pontan on Bomberman

>>7969754
Bomberman, if we talk about a first game, is incredibly easy once you get a remote controller and bomb proof item. Even these fucks can't do much.

God this board is absolutely pathetic if this isn't just one person

>>7965181
How well does this emulate?

>>7969982
Sorry that we want a game where you don't have to mindlessly trial and error groundpound the floor for secrets for 100% completion, basic camera control that isn't a pseudo Zelda-like camera and grind out in-game money for a basic feature such as saving your game.

>>7970049
>grind out in-game money for a basic feature such as saving your game.
Literally not once in the game I ran out ot money for saving, and I'm not a great player.
Just admit you're the bottomless tier of any average player trying to sound smart.

>>7970105
Still doesn't excuse the shitty design philosophy when you take into account purchasable items gate you from unlocking the final level (all of which cost 150 - 300 coins).
Bet you were there defending Capcom's Street Fighter x Tekken DLC practices too, huh.

>>7970153
*bonus level
Excuse me.

>>7970049
I have no idea how you can play the game so wrong.

>>7970318
>There's a "right" and "wrong" way to plays games
What kind of mental gymnastics is this?

>>7970489
Well there might not truly be a right way, but if you're getting as BTFO as that anon, I don't think it's unreasonable to say you're playing a "wrong" way.

I replayed this recently and beat it in a few sessions with like 2 or 3 deaths. It's unironically not that hard (compare it to like xbox Ninja Gaiden or any arcade game). OP is a scrub.

>>7970049
It is like a testing ground for modern designs.

>>7965181
Unironically unapologetic soul
God I love this game so much

>>7964959
This game was very hyped and looked good pre release and once you play it you lose interest on the first level.

Proof that /vr/ only whines, argues and doesn't talk about vidya.

you clicked a 6th gen thread, what were you even hoping for

>>7964706
Ghosts 'N Goblins made the 3D transition much better than Castlevania did.

This and it's sequel apparently emulate very well, according to the pcsx2 wiki. Never tried it myself though.
