It never occurs to me there's a discouraging wall in the game I want to play until I hit it.

Usually the beginnings of games. It might be a tutorial but it might also just be something slow that I already have ingrained in my memory, so it’s agonizing to sit through.

Even the music should trigger some PTSD for y'all.

No, TMNT doesn't get hard until level 4, when there's tons of enemies everywhere, barely any pizza, and it ends with a small section of instant-kill walltraps that will end you unless you move perfectly through them. No one who's played TMNT for any length of time beyond "just rented it for the weekend" considers the 2nd level to be hard.

The randomly bobbing skulls that replace the medusa heads in the second run are worse.

Fucking Supernova Station. It's not even hard, exactly, just incredibly tedious to make sure your idiot ships don't wander out of the protective dust clouds and explode.

Worst part is that it's right after the high point of the game on Executive, so you never remember how horrible it is before you get there.

A lot of early console games were designed with the same sensibilities as coin-eating arcade games. It's no one's fault, really, that was just the only way anyone knew how to design video games at the time.

[Anonymous No.6011907]

music and colour palette is nice though
actually metropolis music is good too, but it gets old after 3 long acts

Grant + stop watch is your friend

[Anonymous No.6012458]

Honestly that's 90% of retro games and THAT fucking part is like 90% of the game
Which is why these days I usually just settle for looking up a youtube video and watching it for 30 seconds instead of setting up an emulator when I feel nostalgic.

I basically play till I get to metropolis zone and call it a day.

Frankly I never understood why Grant was just in Castlevania 3. He had potential for later games.
No, that shitty ass ''Castlevania'' fighting game doesn't count

Fallout Tactics. Kansas City. Up until this point of the game you are dealing with raiders and beastlords. The drastic step up in difficulty as you encounter super mutants can really catch you off guard if you are unprepared and defending Gravestone can be hell for a perfectionist

And you prefer how linear the world of balance is, with the amount of parts that force you to only use certain specific characters?

After the game decides to take away Terra from you, and after you talk to Ramuh, the game forces you to use Locke and Celes, you can include two other characters of your choice, then you choose them, and after this, you are forced to use only these 4 characters for a long time, you have to spend the part of the Opera and the whole trip to Vector (the capital of the empire), with the adventure in the magitek factory included, only being able to use those 4 characters, and you can't change them at any time.

When all that is over, you lose Celes, and then Setzer joins you, and then you get Terra back.

Then you go to the Door of the Esper's World, then to Vector, and then comes a part where the game forces you to use Locke and Terra only, you travel with them in search of the Espers, then Shadow joins for two seconds and then leaves again (?), then you go to that mountain with the obligatory party of Terra + Locke + Strago + Relm later, and after all that, you finally recover Celes and get all the characters, except Shadow (?), the following thing is the final level of the world of balance.

All that I described is at least 12 full hours of gameplay, while bringing together all the characters in the world of ruin, it takes 5 hours at most.

this is where the game gets good though. I could see it being annoying on multiples playthroughs tho

[Anonymous No.6014692]

>>6013674
There is, however, something to be said for dealing with non-optimal teams forced on you, and working through the restraints put upon you. FF6 is way too easy to make that really a viable view, but looking at it as the player having to try things they otherwise wouldn't isn't inherently terrible.

I like linear parties in JRPGs for two reasons. First of all, it forces the player to use party members that they wouldn't normally put in their team. Second, it guarantees that you won't get stuck at a point where the game expects you to have a specific character that you don't have (at a decent level, anyway). Granted, that's more of a problem in SRPGs like Final Fantasy Tactics and Disgaea, where you can sometimes get stuck and have to grind out a new party member if you're missing a certain class.

Why didn't you just switch turtles when one of them was low on health midway-through that coral tunnel? Pic related is way more annoying.
