>>321485994
Dark souls is an easy game, with the exception of a few parts if you don't know what you're doing
>>321486139
Demon Souls is the easiest souls game, bloodborne included
>>321486271
oh fuck that game
never finished it
much harder than contra
>>321486921
Ornstein & Smough is pretty much the only challenging bit 2bh
>one hit kills with shit coming from every direction
Dwarf Fortress applies to all genres
From something fundamental like user interface to actual gameplay like resource management and crafting
fallout 4, i can barely play it even on very easy mode. shit sux.
VVVVVV.
>>321487661
I'll never understand why people shit on the souls series for muh artificial difficulty when literally every Metal Slug after 2 is so ol bullshit.
I love the games but there were not designed to allow to win without dying a millions times. Shits just bitter sweet by then.
>>321486271
AoL's pretty easy to cheese, bro
>>321488048
Unless you're playing in an actual arcade, you aren't in any way punished for dying.
>>321485994
Lol fucking neo v. I can run through Contra without losing a single life aka not being shot a single time. Just because something is old doesn't mean its hard you tryhards

Until you beat it a gorillion times and can speed run that shit like a boss (not autistic world record shit, but just really fast).
Fuck I might need to replay it now.
>>321486589
are you autistic?
that game was fuck-all easy.

You can hover over those black mystery boxes and unlock the hidden text inside, anon.

cope with what loss?
losing a colony in space?

>>321485994
Motherfucker, Contra isn't hard. I used to be able to get up to the 6th cycle without the Konami code.
>>321489797
Didn't it have unlimited continues though

He was referring to Spore being an amazing looking game in development and then getting utterly gutted into casual garbage by EA.

It's a soft spot for everyone
>>321489986Not him, but Dark Souls doesn't have that?
>>321489986
No, only 3.
>>321490024
>implying EA had anything to gut in the first place
I'm pretty sure even if EA werent involved , they's still never have lived up to the hype
>>321490024
oh,i see
i was also sad, still enjoyed it.
>Le Dark Souls is not hard meme
Neo-/v/ everyone
>>321487092
Not even. Capra demon is a Noob killer and I personally find 4 kings to be the hardest boss in the main game.
I was referring to when you play dark souls for the first time, because there's a lot of things you have to be "in the know" for like the gravelord Nito boss fight or the invisible floors in cystal cave. You need to know how to deal with them. Demons souls isn't nearly as bad on the first run.
Blast Corps 100%
If you can beat Dark Souls by saving and memorization then its not the hardest game. I've only played a little. I thought it was slow.
Ever try playing an RTS where your troops run away from danger and gamble away all your resources?It's not technically an RTS, but comparing it to something like AoE is probably the closest comparison I can think of. It's also deceptively easy in the Beginner and Advanced missions with a gigantic jump to the Expert and Master ones.
>>321490179
That's true, but there's a difference between not living up to hype and changing the market and genre of the game as you go along.
I still have the novel that was the SimLife instruction booklet
Literally any arcade game.
>>321489137
with or without pause trick on even stage bosses?
>>321490324
It's not really hard though, compared to run of the mill games from earlier generations. Compare this to any NES game, and even the relatively easy Mega Mans make it look easy.
The difficulty in this game comes from unfamiliarity. That's why most people don't even mention DaS2 or BB when talking about difficulty - they're not way easier, they're just familiar, people know the mechanics.
>>321490491
How bout y'all go play the game before you start queefing out any more opinions, k?
dark souls is easy but the multiplayer can get hard
have yet to really find a similar hard but rewarding experience with pvp, gonna try Armored Core, also by From Software
>>321485994
Contra is more tricky than hard.
Now, Contra: Shattered Soldier on the other hand... that was balls.
>>321491259
my nigga. i never see no one talking bout that one.
>>321491358
i never passed the first level
>>321490942
Well if I'm just playing through to play it again, I abuse the pause trick. When abusing that, the Level 5 boss is the hardest of the game t b h.
But yeah, the bosses really are pretty damn hard when you play it legitimately.
Holy shit, I'm not sure if I've ever actually beaten the Plutonium Boss without abusing that... Which is surprising because nowadays I emulate it on my old PSP, which has savestates. Well I guess I'm going to use savestates to practice my boss fighting techniques in general now. Thanks for extending my playability even more.

>>321490141
Dark Souls doesn't even have a game over.
Much less "continues."
>>321490324
>Neo-/v/
/v/ has been saying this for at least four years.
Try harder.
>>321491383
Maybe because no one here actually plays video games like that? After all Contra is not a cinematic experience
I like both Contra and Metal Slug, but I'm average and usually get carried around when playing with friends.
That said I played other Contras like Neo Contra and Hard Corps but no one comes close Shattered Soldier's difficulty.
Shit game but still counts, almost impossible to 1CC.
cunts
>>321491785
forgot picture
>>321491818
Triggered.
>>321491497
sure, I didn't realize the pause trick worked on the final boss. Also, boss 5 isn't hard if you keep a maxed out gun...but then the trick is getting there with a maxed gun. boss 3 always gives me the most problems.
>>321488048
I don't think they made those games with a "we want the players to waste all the coins they can afford!" mentality. There's no unavoidable damage and all the enemies telegraph their attacks very clearly (or however you say it, you can tell when they're gonna attack) so, if you're paying attention, you're never caught by surprise.
They're just hard arcade games.
>>321490324
But dark souls isn't hard in the slightest.
You can even call people from across the internet to beat the game for you.
>>321491868
>shit game
fuck you
Also it's not hard, this fucker tricked you
>>321492417
>little kids
>paying attention
seriously nigga?
>>321492593
>Slash
That's the SNES port retard, which has piss-easy difficulty and slightly better combat.
TMNT4 arcade is a broken piece of shit and probably the hardest beat 'em up to 1CC.
>>321492734
>arcade were only played by little kids
srsly nigga
Im not sure how, but i managed to finish it on very hard
>>321492787
I stand corrected. Disregard that, I suck cocks.
>>321492402
I find max gun on the level 5 boss to be shit. The zig zaggy rainbow stuff never seems to hit his eye. I usually try and enter with the gun 3 and avoid all damage. I can stay back and snipe his bubble shit while sneaking in a hit here and there. Takes for fucking ever, but is a guaranteed win. That aggressive shit I've seen people pull by getting up in his shit and spamming grenades never seems to work for me. Again, savestate practice... Also: to build up my gun, I just clear the dungeon, exit, and reclear it however many times it takes to get the level I want. Those auto turret things that go back and forth and shoot down at you sometimes drops a gun powerup.
Also: boss 3 really gives you the most trouble? I'm not trying to talk shit, just curious. Just run up to his new form and spam grenades as fast as you can before he solidifies. You can usually kill all but 3 or 4 blocks as they form before they go dormant if you memorize where they spawn.
And yeah, the pause trick works on the Plutonium Boss, but not the Underworld Lord (the dude with the whip). He can be beaten easily by getting close to the right wall so he shoots his whip straight down, but just misses you, and not too far right to where he'll shoot it diagonally and hit you.
>>321492916
Roughly 99% of the time little kids didn't even put a coin in and were having a blast just pretending to play the game.
I don't know if they enjoy games more or less than us
>>321493429
I use max gun on boss 5 because it takes out all the bubbles. still takes longer than it should, but it's a hellava lot safer.
>boss 3
I'm just not that quick and haven't memorized the spawn locations for the boxes, could be something to practice.
Underworld lord is just walking figure 8's and holding the fire button.I'm glad there's someone on /v/ I can talk Blaster Master with
This one here.
Not the first with it's infamous 6-2, not the second which is the easiest because of the shadow clones.
It's the third. Especially if you're a rube like me who tried mastering the north american release which DOUBLES ALL DAMAGE opposed to other versions. Also the fact that the final stage is so long that the timer actually becomes a legitimate threat and will likely kill you even if you know what you're doing.
Fuck the NA release.
>>321493783
>I use max gun on boss 5 because it takes out all the bubbles. still takes longer than it should, but it's a hellava lot safer.
Good point. I wonder if there's a sweet spot where you can be to make sure the rainbows hit him consistently. I'll have to investigate further.
>I'm just not that quick and haven't memorized the spawn locations for the boxes, could be something to practice.
Yeah, if you just memorize where they spawn and what direction they go right away so you can walk with them spamming grenades the whole time, you'll be golden.
>Underworld lord is just walking figure 8's and holding the fire button.
I always wondered how people legitimately beat him without using the wall trick. One hit is two health bars!? God damn. I'll just snuggle this wall, stand still, and spam grenades, thank you. How many damn grenades is required to kill that guy anyway? 16 trillion?Me too anon. This is a severely underrated game. What's your favorite level music? I might pick 6 for mine. Although of course 1 is like the iconic score for the game considering the opening leads right into it.
Dark souls
Is a bad game
>>321485994
Contra's really not that hard man. It was way more beatable than a lot of other big name titles on NES. I'd say it's about on the same difficulty as something like Castlevania, definitely hard, but very doable if you put a little bit of practice into it.
>>321494745
>wall trick
I've no idea what this is
My basic strategy for enemies and bosses is to try an conserve the highest gun power you can and play defensively. it's not fast, but it's effective.
also, this is my definite favorite tune from the game https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQv0GhjIn2Q
>>321488387
I had this shit on my wishlist but haven't bothered to grab it becuase of the what i expected panel.
I take it i should buy it?
TMNT NES, the very first one. And no, not just the Electric Seaweed part.

did you ever play the japanese version? There's a pretty big difference at the end of level 4
>>321495504
you can download it for free from the games site brah

>>321495217
>I've no idea what this is
Surprisingly, this is the only video on Youtube I could find exploiting this. Skip to 5 minutes on the dot and watch him scoot up against the right wall and circumvent the boss's entire kit. Just excuse the faggot talking.

>also, this is my definite favorite tune from the game
Shit, you might be right in this aspect. Area 3 does have such a great music score.
>>321495716
No, I never played the Japanese version. I've seen some screenshots like you posted though. Pretty crazy.
What do you guys think of the other Blaster Master games? I had the second one on Gameboy but never really finished it. The same with the Playstation version with Roddy or whatever. Should I go back and play them again? Are they anything like the original?
>>321495772
oh shit all right then
thanks senpai
>>321496537
I've found roms of a gameboy version, one on the genesis, and I once found a PS1 game called Blaster Master: Blasting Again.
of them, the gameboy was a downgrade, the genesis was poorly made, and the ps1? it was interesting, but ultimately mediocre. Nothing has topped the original imho.
>wall trick
Fuck me, he's really THAT exploitable? All this time...
You said you come back to this game several times just to play it, what other games do you do that for? Personally I do it for pic related.
>>321497176
>of them, the gameboy was a downgrade, the genesis was poorly made, and the ps1? it was interesting, but ultimately mediocre. Nothing has topped the original imho.
I agree with all of that. I just couldn't find a game in the Blaster Master line that has stood up to the original. Such a great game.
>Fuck me, he's really THAT exploitable? All this time...
Yeah. Again, I'll have to use savestates to try your figure 8 ninja shit to beat him without cheesing it.
>what other games do you do that for?
Most of the Zeldas like MM, OoT, and Windwaker. I need to rotate ALttP in there as well, however. I just bought the Turok Remaster on gog so I'm replaying that right now. Star Fox 64 is another one; it's crazy how fast you can beat that game if you know what you're doing.
I dunno, there are a ton. With vidya gaems dead these days, you can't help but go and play older games over and over again, and discover games you missed.
>>321498225
>ninja figure 8
It's not as complicated as it sounds. the idea is to lure him into using the whip in a direction that you won't be in. it helps to lock your facing and shoot upwards. sometimes you have to wait for him to come close to you. his basic AI is to run straight for you, so if you figure 8, you control his movement and can hit him with the gun on the downward arcs. Good luck anon
>>321488048
No, every Metal Slug is bullsit because they're designed to take your quarters away.
>>321485994
Contra isn't hard, and the NES version is easy.
You can git gud in a couple hours and beat the game in 15 minutes.
I'm not Saying Dark Souls is harder, it just requires different skills and takes longer to get good at it.
