Is there anything wrong with padding your game victories list with easy games?

Sometimes I feel guilty beating one because it was too easy. I feel like I just picked on a puppy who couldn't defend himself.

Pic related, I beat it in 25 minutes the first time I played it. Even though I did everything fair I don't feel like I earned that victory since it didn't even put up a fight.

Kirby loops, like a shooter or Mario Land.

Not that it becomes a Ninja Gaiden game on the loop or anything, but do keep that in mind when talking about the easy difficulty.

>> No.2637106

If you base any of your self worth off of how many video games you've beaten, reevaluate.

Try being happy because you've had a lot of fun, it's much better. Did you have fun playing Kirby's Dreamland?

Yeah, the fact that you care at all. I don't say this lightly, but you should consider fucking killing yourself if you think this matters at all.

It was okay. I didn't feel any reason to play it again.

If it was fun I regret nothing.

This, there's a harder second quest mode after you beat the game.

does it really matter? That's stupid. Just play video games. KDL is fun. That ought to be it.

I still remember my older brother calling Councelor's Corner for this game back in the day because he couldn't figure out you needed to swallow the crash stars for the Dedede fight.

Just because Dream Land is easy doesn't mean it's not fun

Your mentality is almost as bad as achievement hunters, man. They do ridiculous, tedious shit just to raise their gamer score and stuff. Games should be about fun, not about self-worth.

Good games don't have to be hard. Kirby's Dreamland is an excellent introductory platformer, and fun for anyone.

The second quest is actually decently challenging for a kirby game too

That map is fucking crazy.

Try to go to areas that you didn't. For example, if in some stage there are three lines, and you have passed over two, then try finding a way to the line you didn't.

>>2637686
I'd have to start all over now, I haven't played in years. But the map was exactly the problem. I had no idea where I was meant to go and kept going in circles. I still beat a lot of bosses somehow, but there were like 2-3 left I just couldn't find.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with a game being easy

Being easy doesn't preclude it from being good

The only wrong thing you can do in video games is spend time playing one that you don't enjoy. It's a hobby. So long as you're having fun it's all good.

Maybe I'm just not like other gamers then. I've literally never cared to make any list of that sort. The games I played through I remember. That's the only list I need.

Only if you're bragging about a lot of victories. Given that lots of different games exist, there's nothing wrong with playing something brutal for the pride and playing some easy for the relaxing fun.

>> No.2639695

>>2637095
You keep a list of game victories?

Man, no it doesn't matter. Just play shit you find fun. If your list happens to have a bunch of easy games, who gives a fuck? You're here to have fun, and if you're having fun, keep doing you.

>> No.2639696

The only reason I keep a "beat games" list is to motivate me to finish games. Sometimes I crap out because it's too easy or too hard. I want to have fun, but i really enjoy the accomplishment of beating a game. Who gives a shit how impressive the list is, just have fun and chase those feels

>> No.2640806

Try the hard extra mode. Then that feeling might be more like you earned it.

>> No.2642504

I don't know why OP chooses to, but when I was younger, I used to keep track of what games I had beat, simply because I had so few and had beaten less.

Back then, I also came across this conundrum, though I never felt guilty about kirby's dreamland; the game in question was actually "the little mermaid" for gameboy. Surprisingly fun, looking back.
