Yo /v/,
Can you think of any games that allow you to miss something you can't return to or get rid of a critical item, thus making it completely impossible to beat and requiring you to start over?
I've only ever encountered this twice. One was on Robin Hood Prince of Thieves for the NES where the game allowed you to sell the only weapon that could harm the final boss, and again in the Lunar Remake for the PS1 where the demo you got on preorder would let you sell an item you needed at the very end. This was fixed in the full game but the demo let you play to level 12 and you got to import your progress into the full game so you were still able to fuck yourself.
What are some other games where you could do this sort of thing?
Tons of old Siera games would let you fuck yourself over. In Kings Quest 3 there was a bridge you could only cross 6 times, and that was exactly the number needed to complete the game. Any additional crossings would collapse the bridge and lock you out of the ending.
>>285652720
that was a fucking fantastic mechanic
get gud
Killing certain NPCs or losing key items in Arcanum could fuck you over
Aren't you able to kill important npcs in morrowind?
>>285652856
Yes.
>>285652406
The Star Wars Episode 1 game for PS1 did this. If you didn't meet the right people, certain NPCs needed to advance the story wouldn't appear.
Crash Twinsanity had a few sections where if you fell into the wrong place or something like that it would trigger a previous part of the game and you could lose a lot of progress. I'm sure there's at least one place that could have fucked up the whole game.
>>285652406
Zelda OOT Water Temple.
If you used the wrong key on the wrong door, good luck kid.
>>285652856
Morowind could let you kill plot critical NPC's before the part in the story arrives.
The game tells you it's unwinnable right after you do it though.
Also, killing them after their part in the story is over doesn't do squat.

>>285653024
>>285653024
I highly doubt this
>>285652856
lel when Morrowind first came out I was a little bitch and would save anytime I thought danger was nearby. I cant tell you how many times I saved with low HP by an enemy and got rekt endlessly
Could Vegeta beat Goku if he swallowed his pride and trained with others instead of being the lone wolf faggot
The original Metroid I believe you can screw yourself by getting the ice beam twice and then the wave beam. Still possible to beat the game but good luck.
>>285652856
Yeah it says there is no way to complete the game if you, but there is a back way that involves you killing Vivec
I wonder how many of these are things that just weren't caught in playtesting, and how many are intentional fuck-yous from game devs
>>285652406
Mortal Kombat 2's arcade ladder.
Arcade games in general
I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream only gives you the good ending with near-perfect execution, worse playthroughs giving you progressively worse endings.
Was trying to think about the combination of events in Metroid. >>285653427 might have it, but I'm not sure that's it.
Although it is not intentional, my copy of Secret of Mana would glitch the main character out of existence if you attempted to awaken the Mana Sword (final battle spell) while he was taking damage. Without him and his sword, the boss becomes impossible and a reset is required.
When I first played Paper Mario TTYD I thought badges were not really that useful and put everything in health and flower power. I couldn't beat the game.
I pumped magic on my orange knight in Castle Crashers.
I was never able to get past Lava World.

An oversight of the original game was that the developers accidently didn't add enough keys to the water temple, since it has a metric fuckton of locked doors to begin with. In most temples you have enough keys to explore a bit before finding the correct path.
Not that temple.
You open the wrong door, and you might be fucked.
>>285653026
>unwinnable
which is a lie i think, there is still a backdoor way to win but it was determined to be extremely difficult by the devs.

If you throw away that bean seed in SMRPG...
It's possible (But very unlikely) to get stuck in Pokemon...I think Diamond and Pearl. There's a small island with nothing on it but an NPC who wants to trade your Finneon for his Magikarp. If you surf there on Finneon and do the trade, and if you don't have any other surfing/flying/teleporting Pokemon in your party or a fishing rod, you'll have no way to get off the island.
>>285653408
not really, goku is stronger then him and trains just as much as he does, at this point goku would need some kind of nerf or be taken out of commission for vegeta to catch up.
Return to Zork, pretty much the whole game
>>285654615
Just one of many reasons I don't like Code Veronica. I ended up starting over anyway and getting past him but around the Chris part I just fucking dropped it.
>>285654787
manlets, when will they
>>285654787
but that's the thing, Goku is willing to learn from others. Vegeta, even though he trains with Trunks, refuses to learn anything from anyone else. Up until the very end does vegeta end up actually learning from others (even if the first he chose the wrong people to help him. I mean Babbidi)
Had he trained with Goku himself and learned tech from other people, he would have been on par with goku. Goku saw opportunities from other people, Kami, Supreme Kai, and others to learn new abilities. Vegeta was just a dick.
If you use the "Pedestrians riot" cheat in San Andreas, you can't turn it off. The mission where you save Madd Dogg becomes impossible because he jumps immediately.

On extreme mode, it's really easy to make MGS1 impossible right before the Hind boss.

There were a lot of points where enemy difficulty spiked. On top of that you couldn't return to old locations for the vast majority of the game. If you progressed while still slightly under-leveled, you were usually fucked if you overrode your save, being unable to kill anything and thus unable to level.
>>285653408
In the newest movie, it's said that vegeta was stronger than goku at some point. I don't know if that's true or anything, but I would love to see super saiyan god goku and vegeta fight at one point.

What point are you at? I maybe I could help you outDante can't get Pierce so he's useless for the Lucifer boss
>>285655581
You can miss stuff, but I don't think it can ever become impossible to finish the game.
>>285655565
I actually didn't notice that until my second playthrough because I'd always read their lines before they said them, to save time y'know. Second playthrough I already knew what they were going to say so I just let them say it and I heard "Kaisar" Like seriously the fuck? I know it's the real way to say it but seriously it bothered the fuck out of me.

>>285655754
I think I had just beaten the area with the shitty maze puzzle, and I was exploring the special zone for the true dormin ending. I stopped because the guide I was reading said I had skipped the first jew guy selling the demon.
Not exactly "impossible to finish", but in the first Golden Sun, I went to the Mercury Lighthouse before doing the forest because I couldn't get past the barricade (I did try moving the block, but I guess I was a pixel off for it to register or something) and saved my game on the aerie, way fucking underleveled for the Saturos fight and with no way to leave. Eventually got through it, but it took hours of tries.
In Sands of Destruction, a mediocre DS RPG, one of the most important mechanics of the game, that the entire game's difficulty was balanced upon, was learned at level 20. Thing is, they had 2 different skills you could learn at level 20, and the one you didn't learn was then learned at a higher level. If you were stupid and picked the wrong one, you were pretty much fucked.

basically theres a fucking vertical wall of spikes you must get on top of. without the jumper ability you cannot get passed it with X unless you have shadow armour (which prevents death by spikes)
zero on the other hand and giga armor are fine. i think blade aromour too...
Any game that allows you to save while you're in a dungeon of a sort and it won't allow you to leave until you complete it.
Of course making a separate save alleviates the problem but a lot of people get fooled by it.

It's been a long time, but I think when I first got that game I was dicking around in the hub and rolled off an area and landed on one of the NPC which aggro'd them. I think I ended up deleting my file because of it, but it's been so long I can't even remember.
>>285653408
Goku beat Vegeta because he's always had something to fight for other than himself.
>>285652790
I don't know. While creating a true sense of "consequence" for the player's actions, you still have to allow them some margin of error, especially if there's no way to know what extremely minute and seemingly insignificant thing could trigger a complete failure.

Speaking of Fallout
That one section of 3 where you have to escape the memorialafter your dad diesI ran out of healing supplies right before that mission but instead of buying them I was so excited to see where the story was going that I just didn't buy them. When you try to escape and you get attacked I literally could not progress because I'd take one bullet and fucking die.
>>285656032
I think that one just sells loftoma, which you can get for free through fusion. Try walking around the world a little to try and see if you can progress, story events should happen near the area you're at

Nope, it was a sort of combo system called Chain Flurries, where if you got enough attacks in then you could chain multiple attacks together, allowing you to to build up your special attack meter faster and use your ultimate skills more often.
The alternate option was a single heavy blow that didn't do enough damage to justify taking over flurry chains, and barely built combo meter.

and in mijions alt route... you know which one im talking about. the one with the nightmare on the fucking reploid so if you fuck up you lose him
if it wasnt for these 3 id be happy . luckily i know my shit too well in that game so i dont fuck up on it.
>>285652406
You had to collect these chips that were scattered around each level if you did not get enough of them it was IMPOSSIBLE to defeat the end game boss. Why? Because the chips were used as a form of currency and if you did not have enough to buy the required item sold to you for the boss fight you had to restart from the beginning.

No it just means you missed a key somewhere and you have to backtrack and backtrack and backtrack.

Now this was years ago and I had to stop that playthrough. Not sure if there was a way around it.
>>285659116
Exactly. If the game penalizes you for tossing away inventory for no reason, then it's just stupid. But, if the game warns you to toss something you have, then it's fun, but has to be hinted at in a way that doesn't just give away the correct choice, or feel like a random moment of "Well, you fucked up but we won't say WHY."
While not technically unwinnable, if you raise your battle rank too much without raising your stats you can make some fights in The Last Remnant impossible.
Fire Emblem allows you to fuck yourself over in every game if you go too far with shitty units/too many deaths/bad items. You kinda have to try, though.

Gamefreak probably thought this was fucking Hilarious too
Not quite the same, but I remember watching my older brother caught in a very tricky pinch when he was playing the original Tomb Raider years back. If I recall, it was during the fight with the doppelganger Lara, and he had just tricked it into the lava in the one side of the room by jumping to the wall and then off. But since the game made a checkpoint at the moment the evil Lara died, he found himself constantly falling into the Lara every time the game reloaded. It was after many tries that he finally managed to get Lara to kick off the walls and back to safety.

The semantics of Goku's superiority over Vegeta are pretty fucked up. At first it makes a lot of sense, Vegeta's a douchebag who believes his heritage as a Saiyan prince makes him automatically superior to anything of a lesser social rank. Goku, instead, trains his dick off with King Kai, and uses that training to win out (kinda, Vegeta did pretty much win that though). So, Training > Heritage.
But after that and Namek, Vegeta becomes a relentless training machine, constantly striving to overcome his limits so that he may be the strongest one day. And it never pays off, because Goku turns out to possess the natural ability to attain forms beyond Vegeta's ability. So, Heritage > Training.
That said, Vegeta did prove himself far better against Bills than Goku did, until he went God form, which involved taking Vegeta's power as well. Of course, any advantage in fighting spirit he gained in that moment was IMMEDIATELY tossed in the shitter because Goku's body "remembered the God form's power and adjusted to it". So again, Goku's hereditary advantages overcome hard work and dedication.

>LOL GIT GUD SKRUB
>implying playing the same game twice to beat it once requires any kind of skill
I hate you.

You can though iirc.
You can just go to the raft and press E on it
>>285654564
This doesn't really count, but after I beat WW I used an action replay on a second file to mess around, and I actually made it impossible to progress by teleporting to mother and child isles when I wasn't supposed to be able to yet. I don't remember the exact details and there might have been other stuff I did to mess it up

Vegeta is more naturally gifted. As a kid he was killing saibamen with no effort. He's also a better technical fighter, as Goku himself admitted. Goku benefited from the tutelage of wise masters like Kami, King Kai, and others. I do think that Vegeta's excessive self-reliance holds him back a great deal.

So the whole thing with cheats fucking up data was on purpose? That's fucking retarded.
In nethack, literally the only way to make the game unwinnable no matter how much time you have to deal with it is if you kill your class quest leader before he gives you your class quest. It's kind of impressive that's the only way you can fuck up considering the number of options the player is given and the complexity of the goals.

No, but in the original Xbox version (not the second edition) flying off the map can make the Mike Toreno missions impossible by corrupting the markers

You can actually piss him off by failing the alignment test enough times, or by getting converted by an altar. But yeah, variations.

Fire Emblem for GBA. You can beat the entire game without using your Lord units for battle. But when you get to the final stage you have to fight with them and if you didn't level them you can't beat the game.
Sup, pussies.
You can't actually 100% Space Station Silicon Valley for N64. A glitch keeps you from getting one item entirely.

>Game literally tells you that you can get a upgraded Booster
>Not trying to do all sorts of different things on the 2nd playthrough
>Not realizing that the only different interaction you can get from Dr. Booster is not talking to him
The rope to save the robot girl was stupid, specially because normally you would not get the booster 1.0 only on the 2nd playthrough, which means there was no reason to go where the rope spawns, but not the booster.

I'm pretty sure Arcanum is one of the few games where you can actually kill every single NPC in the game and still manage to get the ending.
>>285669663
Even with base level lords you can beat the game by relying on Athos and a Luna tome to carry you through
WHO DID THIS
WHICH ONE OF YOU FUCKERS DID THIS
>>285652406
Arcanum
Prince of Persia. The Edgy one with the godsmack oping song.
If you fucked up and pulled out a platform in the last level twice in stead of once it locked that way. Autosaving meant no going back. I never finshed that game due to that bug.
Would any of the Super Robot Wars games count? Since there really an odd way of leveling your part up? I swear I was playing the game and after a while, a boss would come and would 1 shot everybody and I couldn't do anything about it.
Kill the blacksmith or any of the other npcs then it becomes impossible to win.
>>285674241
How? I just got the game from GOG's sale today.
Would game breaking glitches count?
Many of us know about this one. In Skyward Sword during the Song of the Hero quest, if you beat the Lanayru dungeon first and then talk to Golo the Goron, you will no longer be able to go to the other 2 dungeons, forcing you to reload an earlier save or start the entire game over.
I saved this from a thread years and years ago.

I know what you're talking about, and you're almost right. There's a jump that's incredibly hard to make with a key block in it that the developers never intended you could reach, but if you use Pegasus boots + Roc's Feather and some tricky maneuvering, you could get up there. But you were blocked almost instantly by a room of nothing but deep water, so you had to go back. This also resulted in one less key for you to use and would to the casual observer make it seem like the game is unwinnable now.
However, there is a part in the dungeon where a key falls into some deep water normally that you have to swim after that if you use the pegasus boots and rocs feather, you can actually catch it in mid-air.
Source: Me. I did this twice. The second time after having forgotten how hard it was to get the key the first time.
If you give the aliens too much leeway in their research, X-Com with the Long War mod becomes practically unwinnable.
Silent Hill 4.
Being in your apartment heals you. And you also pick up healing items. I always assumed that the healing items were meant for field and boss use, so I used them up right away to clear out spaces in my inventory.
Then the apartment stopped healing you. . .
>>285677958
I find sources of free healing to be more incentive to stack up on usables rather than the go ahead to dispose of them.
Needless to say modern FPS bothers the shit out of me.
Can La-Mulana be impossible to finish? It seems surprisingly lenient from what I can think of. There's the difficulty switch in the mausoleum, but that doesn't technically make the game impossible. You can lock yourself out of certain items like the last whip upgrade, but I don't think you can do this with any items you absolutely need to beat Mother. Of course can permanently lock yourself out of hell temple, but that's something else entirely.
>>285678307
I am NORMALLY of the same mind, but SH4 had a limited inventory system, I think it was like 10 slots, and you require some of them for weapons AND puzzle items. So I had healing items and I thought "Well, fuck. My room just heals me, so why even have these?"

Anyone who says they've beaten that game without a guide is lying.

Not impossible to win the games but in an earlier version of Ocarina of Time and Star Fox Adventures, if you save the game during the final boss, it will be impossible to go back to and do shit as when you reload the game, you will start at the final boss.
These are part of the video game concept known as "The Point of No Return". Essentially meaning that progressing past an area will make it impossible to go back to it and many games have this shit such as Red Steel 2 and Xenoblade Chronicles.

Last game I can remember having to straight up drop and restart was The Last Remnant.
In the original Wind Waker, if you destroy the gold ship but not get the treasure and leave, when you come back, both the gold ship and treasure will be gone, meaning you can't get the last triforce piece, go to hyrule and beat the game
>>285679290
I'm pretty sure in ocarina of time you can warp to a temple using your ocarina. This will make you swordless, but you can become a child then go back to being an adult to fix adult link. I could be wrong but I know there's ways of glitching out of the ganon fight. I'm just not sure if you need prior setup or not
>>285653408
>this derails the thread
heh
Not exactly a missable that prevents you from completing the game but can actually result in you LOSING ALL OF YOUR PROGRESS.
In the Treasure Cove level in Banjo Kazooie, there's a sandcastle where you slam on letters to get a gold jiggly which can also be used to activate cheats in the game. If you attempt put in illegal cheats, Gruntilda will warn you that she will delete your save data. Continuing will actually result in her deleting your active save file but will only only go into effect if you save the game after receiving the message.
