>>333223097
This is why Super Mario Bros is objectively more difficult than Ninja Gaiden
>>333223207
What he said, now a days you're pretty much guaranteed to beat a game if you buy it.
>>333223097
Don't be a scrub OP.
>>333223097
super monkeyball had this feature and it forced you to get good. it objectively made the game better. you can't say you actually beat monkeyball if you save stated every level, you just bruteforced your way through with luck instead of skill.
>>333223413
When I pay cash money dollars for a game it better fucking let me beat it.

The game can be challenging. Its just dumb to force the player to start the entire game over if you die X amount of times.
That'd be like DaS deleting your save file if you die more than 5 times. Its retarded.
>>333223097
on a game that doesnt have saving, lives are absolutely acceptable/expected, but on a game that saves lives are comepletely useless. lives in the new mario games are rendered completely useless by saves, i prefer splatoon's method of handling its 'lives" over traditional use of lives in games that save
>>333224550
If you're a retard who can't eat a sub properly, yeah I probably would take it away from you.
Retard.
>>333223207
>if you die too many times you lose the halfway checkpoint
WOW SO HARD
Lives are an outdated concept that are only still relevant in arcade style games. Mario does not need extra lives, because the punishment for a game over is so incredibly minimal it amounts to one extra screen you need to press 'okay' on before being right back where you left off
>>333224582
>I never tried the Heroic/Mythic tier in raiding and assume Normal/LFR gives me the full experience
The challenge is still there fuck boy
>>333224550
>food analogy
never change, /v/
no one goes to get food expecting to have a challenge to finish it dumbfuck. you play a video game for a challenge and ye maybe die not hold your hand and let you win easily
>>333223097
It's why I like Mega Man so much, it's a hard game but it is completely fair. It never makes you start the game all over. Unless you turn off the console or in the sequels forget the passwords.
>>333225340
>no one goes to get food expecting to have a challenge to finish it
Never been to an all you can eat buffet, huh?
It's mostly a shitty vestige from arcades.

>WOOOOW WHY ISNT IT COMPLETING ITSELF I PAID FULL PRICE FOR IT
>>333224920
I wanna do things with that butt.
>>333223207
Difficulty
Just because there is limited lives in Mario doesn't make it an objectively harder game. Maybe it's how you play and analyze games that gives you that perspective but ninja gaiden is way more clusterfuckey in difficulty
>>333224821
Ninja Gaiden 2 did it right
>>333224550
>sandwich artist
It takes a true artist to shit on bread and then have someone pay for it
>>333223207
You can start from your last world if you hold a while you press start. So SMB does actually allow you to continue where you left off.
>there are people who play arcade games in free play mode and claim they've "beaten" it
>>333224821
Segmented regenerating health is pretty good tbqh.
>>333226314

Sonic 2 anyone?

but i love shmups
>>333224550
Holy shit, this makes no sense. How do you "git gud" at eating a sandwich?
>>333226579
I don't care if you emulate it and never spend a cent, I care that you aren't attempting to 1cc the game. If you get a Game Over, start over.
>>333226089
Do not summon the unspeakable.

Deus Ex I'm looking at you
>>333225474
Same with Kid Icarus. Brutal difficulty level, but every death still felt like it was my fault.
>>333226849
Answer me this, what is the punishment for getting a game over in Super Mario 3D world? How much progress is lost?
>>333226978
Has anyone even done this?
>>333224226
Play phone games. $20 and the game beats itself. Now you can move on the next one. Just be ready foryour spankingwhenyour parents see their credit card bill.Cuck.

You do know there are eating competitions, right? And I don't mean your mum on a Saturday night either

That's called a quick save.
Only dumbasses thought they could load quick saves more than once.
>>333228423
It's not a quick save if it's the only way to load the game from the main menu
>tfw I've never beaten an old sonic game because I always ran out of lives
>>333228485
The fuck? Wut game?
>>333224550
So what you're gonna let some minimum wager cuck you out of a sandwhich? No you pick up the sandwich slam it on the counter and demand a new sandwhich!
No wonder games are fucking piss easy when little faggots like you just give up anytime something happens just blame it on "artificial difficulty".
>>333228495
>You'll cowards
Is that supposed to be "Y'all"?
>>333228495
Play 3 & Knuckles it is the best one and it has saves that let you continue from your last zone. So does Sonic CD.

There are superior sandwhich deli shop friends go find them.
>>333228623
Embarrassing yourself just to get a free diabeteswhich isn't going to stop customers from ordering there, Anon.
>>333228923
Crap, you're right.
>>333228835
And these people are called "sandwhich artists"?
>>333229331
So you're ok with me slapping your shit off the table. You're not gonna at least make the attempt to fight me. It truly is no wonder why Vidya is dying.

This is much better than just eating the sandwich.
>>333223207
Ancient Ship of Doom had limited continues m8.
>>333226978
I believe that the original anon was referring to the first Mario Bros game, where you have to start from 1-1 if you get a game over no matter what level you're on.
>>333229527
If you go to a shit-tier restaurant, prepare to get shit service.
>>333230271
>go to 5 star restaurant

>remember you only tipped 5%
>He spits in your food and drink.
>Well I can't fight him I'm just gonna eat my food and drink maybe I'll just eat around the spit and scoop up the spit from my drink.
I'm sure you would be OK with this anyway because it's just too dificult to face the challenge.
>>333229752
Just one of many ways you can do it that doesn't involve giving up like 97% of the population.
Amazing how that works. It's as if people aren't actually trying with challenges anymore.
>>333226696
You don't, as other anons said you fight the Sandwich Artist; might makes right.
