Because it's boring with no stakes and very repetitive with only one shitty castle setting

>>9596120
The fun of adventure games comes from exploring the unknown. That's lost when you already know what lies ahead. Same reason why I can't stand most Zelda games on repeat playthroughs.

>>9596136
Zelda games have comfy locations that stay comfy at least, but you are not wrong

>>9596120
I'm stuck on/bored at the harpy/medusa heads/ clockwork part. How much of the game is left? Judging by the map I'm halfway through. I know there's a flipped map thing but I heard it's optional.

You can get the “bad” ending soon if you have the bat power up unlocked it’s near where you are on the map

>>9596120
It is very easy once you know what to do. Tetra spirit, soul steal, Crissaegrim, shield rod, sword brothers: all that stuff makes every enemy a breeze. The fun part is exploring. So there's not much replay value, sadly.

>>9596120
Works on my machine. Just playing on a different setup makes for a great experience.

Luckmode Alucart should be default tho.

>Why does thing become less interesting as I repeat it into the ground?

Better question: why are contrarianiggas so dumb?

>>9596120
It's too easy.
I think that the game is a lot more fun to play on Luck Mode, because it makes you weak as fuck early on and you need to be very methodical and careful to not get raped immediately, but you do catch up with the game as you go, and by the time you reach the end of the upside down castle you're not struggling anywhere.

The GBA and DS games added Hard Modes, which are nice, though those need to be unlocked. AOS played fresh on Hard Mode (not carrying over stuff from a run), I think is the most fun way to play it.

There's some left. The Clocktower is kind of AIDS, but it's brief and you don't have to go back there again after you've gotten through. The upside down castle is missable/skippable, but honestly it's worth at least getting as far as seeing it for a bit, just for the novelty. The game loses steam a bit once you get there, but the pace also winds up a lot and it's quite fast to explore as you already have all abilities as you get there.

I do think that there's some fun in trying out random OP shit, in a HOMM3 kind of way, but that kind of comes at odds with challenge.

>>9596120
because we all played it a hundred times by now. play the Saturn version with an improvement patch.

>I think that the game is a lot more fun to play on Luck Mode
I agree

>>9596120
>Why is it less fun on subsequent playthroughs?
isn't this true of 99.999% of games?

>>9596120
All games are unless you're autistic

Any game with easily available custom maps has far longer mileage.

>>9596671
fan made content is fan made content, has nothing to do with the base game being replayable or not

Maybe try the randomizer? I played it twice, the second time I cheated my luck to MAXIMUM to get all droppers

recommend me a patch, then, anon.

Because like every game where you have to get EXP points and level up and attribute points to skills and hunt for better equipment, it's a chore.

>>9596668
Talk for yourself, I replay the sands of time trilogy every other year and it never gets old.

>>9597657
Only Sands of Time is worth playing, let alone replaying. The other two are such a drop in quality it's hard to believe.

>>9597675
Tbh all 3 have such different tones that I love replaying the entire thing for the different "tastes" each one has.

And even then, I love them all on their own.

However, I must admit that THE sands of time is the best out of the 3.

>>9596661
Not of Sega games

>>9596120
Half the fun is getting lost and exploring, and butting your head figuring out where to go next. Once you know where everything is it's just a chore to go through.

He just did, read the fucking picture.

Play luck mode. I had a blast with it.
