>all these comments about my post

Nobody has their own similar video game stories to share?

Maybe I made this thread around the wrong time, honestly thought this was something that others may have experienced themselves in other games.

In Earthbound you are asked some questions as you start your game. You can name your favorite food, which I always left as Pizza. In turn, I thought the reason there was a Pizza Delivery service was because of my answer. Of course, that's not true and your choice of food only matters when visiting home and you use it as an Inn, your mother telling you (and your party) that she'll make your favorite food for dinner.

>attack animation for your special Psi attack makes sense

>Only one I knew (before the internet) who played this
>Favorite Food was Pizza (answered at the beginning)
>Always thought there was Pizza delivery because of this.
>Wasn't until I emulated it (not wanting to delete save files) that I learned the truth

Aim for the open spots.

Everytime there's a discussion about name changes, I get the AVGN voice in my head. "Why didn't they just name it Starfox 2? Or would that be confusing because they was suppose to be a Starfox 2? So why Lylat Wars? It doesn't even make you think about Starfox." Despite that, Lylat Wars is pretty cool title. Should have been StarFox: The Lylat Wars everywhere.

We don't need to have this conversation in every damn thread.

Oh god, I remember when I bought it. I started it up and it felt so bad, but then, you're addicted to it and you near the end of the game and freaking out because you've missed over half the spirit things.

Because once someone comments on someone's taste it starts to go /v/ mode.

>OoT is Overrated
So, MM is the hipster response. It's the Mega Man 2 of Zelda games.

It's a great game, there really aren't but a couple bad Zelda titles, but I think it gets a little too much attention on gaming sites because people who like Zelda don't want to associate themselves with those who like OoT, which is still the better of the two.

In Mega Man's case, 3 is the best. Introduction of Rush, Protoman and sliding, the latter of which will be something very important in future games.

If you want to have something tell you where to go and what to do all the time and cut the life of a game, that's cool.

I'd rather go into a game, learn the ropes myself and get a sense of enjoyment from exploring and finding things myself.

>>523548
Good thing the game doesn't have a time limit.

>>523528
I find using guides and such really hurts the enjoyment of the game.

Exploration, hunting, discovering things, etc give the game more life, imo.

>>523487
I'd play it just to NOT have to deal with those.

while we're at it, they should set a trigger that allows you to skip text you've read already.

Pokemon's guts have been ripped plenty open since then, it was all over once the Catch Mew glitch finally hit.

>there's entire websites dedicated to just the fake rumors to "find" it
I loved that site. I honestly spent hours there when I found it reading all the rumors and how they were debunked.

Too bad there aren't sites like that anymore with how quickly people rip games apart and share their guts.

Fuck, most games come out and people already have handfuls of secrets/passwords to use for the game to make it easier.

>game
Chrono Trigger

>rumor
Various (ranging from party members to being able to travel back to Zeal).

>time wasted
A lot of time, but I loved the game so it wasn't like I tortured myself.

>how fake
Completely fake.

I wasn't sure if 15 also gave one, thanks.

I had gotten all 26 possible. At specific # of them, if you visit the building, you get an extra one, I think that happens twice, if not trice and they're the easiest ones to miss because they don't stack after you hit each threshold.

>>523298
26 shells, sword upgrade and Boomerang.
