Oh.

When will us gamers finally rise up?

 

[CallMeKnux]

Uh, no.
Was just pissed off, was excited to kick back, watch some crime shows, and get some popcorn, than I get home and both doors are locked and I die inside.

Update: I got in, apparently I had never thought to knock on the door and my sister almost thought someone was trying to break in. Maybe I’m dumb.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

You all know what gane has great difficulty settings? Taiko no Tatsujin

 

[Cutie Gwen]

All of this talk about Dark Souls and no one has brough up Cuphead or Crash Bandicoots.

'the **** guys?

Well Cuphead is a good example of accessability attempts gone wrong as you don't ACTUALLY win with easy mode. Cuphead forces you to beat it the 'correct' way but it fails to remember that most of the appeal for Cuphead pre release isn't the difficulty or gameplay, but the aesthetics. People who aren't able to perform well are forced to sit out or get frustrated and can't experience what made them want the game in the first place

At the same time your example uses what I call 'sucker punch' difficulty. It punches you right in the gut for something you couldn't see coming and wouldn't be able to prepare yourself with. Bam, the game sucker punches you, you just permanently lost a great resource. Dark Souls is designed around this so you constantly are able to prepare and walk around the sucker punch. In FE it can be "Mooks will appear, have fun" but in DS it's "That floor was a trap and killed me. This other floor looks pretty similar, I must walk around it"

Fair enough. I'll site less bull**** examples. Let's go to FE Radiant Dawn, which contains large maps with a lot of hard-hitting enemies. Or FE Conquest with sturdy enemies with a bunch of unique gimmicks or skills. Fire Emblem is a game that pays you to experiment to get better, but then encourages you to make safe decisions when being surrounded by thirty foes that can ruin a run. A mechanic that allows to save between maps, while broken, allows the player to mess around at their own pace to see what works and what doesn't without having to restart the map. This would save a lot of time while allowing you to learn more about the game.

In FE 4, the chapters were as big as three or four chapters in a current Fire Emblem game. They let you save inbetween maps because imagine ****ing up at the very end and restarting, causing you to waste an or two just because of one mistake. Why is this same mentality not brought over to the sequels, I'll never know.

The house lock equivalent of forgetting to plug in your computer and calling support anyway

 

[Guh-Huzzah!]

Cuphead was so difficult for me, I never even bothered to finish the game.

Yeah. I had actually just never used Smashboards on mobile since April 1st, so when I came back it hadn’t been refreshed.

Cuphead was so difficult for me, I never even bothered to complete the game.

Excuse me what

 

[Deleted member]

Speaking of Cuphead, I feel like it's a good example of an easy mode being shoehorned in. The easy mode straight up locks you out of progressing, it's only real function is practice. It's clear that the devs intend and want you to play the ballbustingly hard regular mode, so I have to question why even bother including an easy mode in the first place. Why bother using that dev time? Obviously, I'm not the Cuphead devs, I don't know what they were thinking while making the easy mode, but it's something I observed.

Never thought I'd find myself using this picture again.

 

[Alternis]

You want difficulty settings?

Spoiler

Dishonored 2 has got you covered.

 

[Pyra]

I played cuphead, did way better than all my friends in it, and stopped playing it randomly midway through lol

Oh BestBuy.

Guys I hacked Smashboards and now I have Reggieboards 24/7.

Be careful with pulling stunts like that, or you might actually end up with Reggieboards 24/7. :p

 

[Rie Sonomura]

Have you ever heard of "wanting content in the game without having to add it it myself"? Sure, we could mod any song under the sun into Smash. But that doesn't mean we want to. It'd be much more convenient for the song to already be in the game.

Plus, with how anti-mods the Switch is vs the Wii U... I do NOT want to risk a console ban tyvm

 

[TMNTSSB4]

Yeah and besides polar panda did hear Lloyd’s Irving’s name the most

oh yeah that happened

blame my thread speed blindness okay

how you gonna forget

may not be explicitly stated but my mans totally at least partway gay have you seen how he dresses

Link is just fabulous

While I haven’t played Bayonetta 2, that’s definitley not the vibe I got from Bayonetta 1. I definitley see it much more as a sisterly rivalry relationship.

At the most bi, given that he has a blood descendant in Awakening.

Lack of a sexual relationship with a man doesn’t equal automatic lesbian. She’s just a loner due to her past, and her sexuality hasn’t been explored because it doesn’t need to be.

Just a stretch overall, I’m going to say.


While I’m all for more representation in Smash, I don’t think that stretching things like this is the way to go.

EDIT: Also not sure on . Same as what I said for Samus, except him and Meryl were implied to be romantic in MGS1. Him and Otacon are just straight boy best friend goals honestly.

Samus’ sexuality is Samus...

...Samussexual

Female Pokemon Trainer is 10 years old.

Not anymore

Hey guys, in 3 days my state is having a local major tourney, so if you want, watch it when it's streamed!

The link for all the info is here. Some friends of mine are going to be attending and I may be going too, so look out for that.

Captain Zack and maybe some other bigger players are also gonna be there.

 

[Hinata]

I fail to see the correlation there... Sounds like you're just trying to make sure everyone knows you're going to college. Which is weird.

We could all go there, and you wouldn't even know.

Scary thought....

A Youtube video I uploaded Monday is almost caught up in views to my first video

Which was posted in 2012.

I'm scared...

Be like SonicFox.
Do both.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Oh **** Battle For The Grid is including 3 new characters for free outside of the season pass

There was a problem fetching the tweet

Udonna was leaked and Dragon Armour Trini was teased in artwork but the 2017 movie ranger is nice surprise, he was the best part of that movie

No need to take that post seriously. Also, that is not what I am trying to say. What if I do not go to college?

 

[Wunderwaft]

Those two things aren't mutually exclusive.

As someone who's doing both, it's pretty fun, if stressful. It's like dating Mary Jane and stopping criminals at the same time.

If your game's only appeal is being hard then maybe your game isn't that good

Agree up to a certain point, people forget that a lot of the NES era games (especially western versions) were designed or altered due to rentals meaning that they were made stupidly hard just so people would rent the game several times to beat it or just outright buy it. This was made since the games were rather short.

But also, a lot of the great games of this era while they are hard they are also quite fair for the most part which is what people like about them and continue talking about them to this day. For example Castlevania, Ninja Gaiden, and Ghosts n Goblins while difficult they allow for pretty much unlimited retries in a level even without any lives.

 

[Schnee117]

he was the best part of that movie

That's like saying the best part of a 3 course meal from a 1 star restaurant was the part where you had the least ****tiest food

 

[DaybreakHorizon]

Be careful with pulling stunts like that, or you might actually end up with Reggieboards 24/7.

Is it possible to change permissions to give a person permanent Reggieboards?

Is it possible to learn this power?

Also, on the topic of difficulty, Kingdom Hearts 2 has great difficulty options. You've got Beginner Mode, where you deal more damage, take less damage, and have some items and abilities to start, Standard, which is the base level, and Proud Mode, where you take more damage.

And then you've got Critical Mode, which is balls to the walls. You deal 1.25 more damage but take double damage. You get less HP and MP from level ups, but start out with more AP and get useful abilities to start with. And then you can play Level 1 Critical Mode where you can't level up and don't gain any abilities (minus those you get through the story), but damage scales to the world levels so you don't deal chip damage. It's the best way to play the game as far as I'm concerned.

So what's the downside exactly?

 

[Pyra]

You should try and relax on your expectations for yourself bud Haha. You’re allowed to have fun AND be smart.

 

[Mythra]

Obligatory press F because Shaqboards, Emblemboards, etc. are unavailable for Premiums (I know those themes were pre upgrade but still :'V)

Not from a ****poster.

(but yes technically I can change someone's profile to lock them into the Reggieboards skin :p )
