>>315798142
Cerberus is the casual filter.
>>315798142
you first OP
Deus Ex, Liberty Island.
The village in RE4.
She's invincible
>>315798634
The village is fine.
The castle is where the shit ramps up.
LOOKING FOR BAAL?
Honestly the reaper at the very beginning is casual filter. By the time you get to Agni & Rudra you've already proven you can handle them.
>>315798618
u dumb and that picture is dumb
Just forward and do a fireball
but goddamn ppl still cant even do a fireball
>>315798634
what about RE4 isn't casual?
even ashley's outfit is casual
>>315798618
This is accurate on two levels
1) New players have trouble with DP motions
2) Casuals think DPs are OP, because they can't punish for shit
All aboard the pain train
Dungeons of Doom in Nethack.
<Gate of Hell>
>>315798898
Not him, but I had more trouble with the initial village swarm (especially the chainsaw guy) and the attack on the house when Luis is with you than I did with anything in the Castle. Of course, the castle does have THAT room...
>>315798953
>be summoner necro
>enter that tomb
haha, time for running!
>>315799546
>Duriel is literally so fucking tough that the only strategy which exists to kill him as Necro involves dying multiple times
FUCKIN HELL
>>315798953
well, this was also a potato filter
Remember, on older PC's, earlier versions of the game sometimes loaded so slow that before it even loaded on your screen, Duriel would've already smacked your arse
>>315799040
I'm so glad that I'll never have to use a multimeter again.
>>315798378
Cerberus was easy as fuck, beat him on first try with no prior knowledge to DMC games
>>315800003
On that note, he was also one of the bosses that restricted kiting thus really beign a build filter and a money drain more than a casual filter.
It was borderline impossible to run from this faggot. He does his dash attack on you once and then you are just locked in his fuckign holy frost.
Also, why in the ever flipping fuck does Duriel have Holy Frost. Why does the lord of pain use an attack which by its nature makes people numb.
It doesn't make any fucking sense.
WHY DID ANDARIEL USE POISON INSTEAD OF MIND MAGIC. FUCK YOU BLIZZARD!!
Obligatory.
>>315800198
The entire level itself is a casual filter but this motherfucker is the cherry on top
le filters maymay
>>315801115
That one bonus mission where you have to fight three Shadows in a cramped area is harder than anything DMC3/4 has to offer.
kanji
>>315799053
I dunno man.
I beat the reaper and Cerberus fairly easily, but Agni and Rudra were the ones that kept pushing my shit in.
>>315800586
This mission is when I thought the game would become real fucking hard, but no, I beat it in one try (with some heavy casualties at the end) but it was easier than I initally thought it would be, meanwhile the fucking solo mission in the woods where you have to kind of sneak through it or you can get killed in half a move. HOLY FUCK WAS IT ANNOYING, also because of that mission I learend that you can save mid-mission.
>>315799963
or you could just use portals to go in and out until he dies.
>>315799213
Holy shit, is this fucking G-Police?
>>315801972
Yes
It's a gold mine for enraging levels
>>315801825
That's not strategy that's being a puss puss.
>>315798812
i'm pretty sure that boss was rigged to kill you the first time no matter what. and as you keep dying it stops using the aoe spells as much
>>315800149
Yeah, by cheesing him with pistols you fuck.
HAHAHAHAAA!
>>315798142
one of the worst/annoying bosses ever. prove me wrong.
pic related
>>315801220
I've always felt that DMC lost something after the first one. Enemies in DMC had certain weaknesses that you could take note of and exploit with the correct weapon. Later games just had you beat up everyone with any weapon.
>>315803147
You and OP have picked the easiest bosses in the game. I call bait but you made me reply anyway.
>>315803346
I wasn't saying the flying guy was hard. I was saying he's annoying and just a plain bad boss. He was definitely the easiest.
>>315803346
>Agni and Rudra
>Easy
Are you kidding? Once you're good at the game, they aren't hard sure, but if you're saying you fought them once and they werte a breeze before you were good at the game and you weren't on easy(automatic) you're an autistic lying faggot.
>>315803489
>I wasn't saying the flying guy was hard.
Well then anon you may have missed the point of the thread
>>315803147
Turns out, you just boringly spam Cerberus.
No interesting shit with E&I or Rebellion or Coyote-A, even, just deflect orbs using the weapon you just got.
It's just disappointing.
>>315798554
God, that took me so many tries as a kid
Then again i didn't play very well
>DO NOT PURSUE
>they pursue
>LU BU IS OP WTF
Every time
>>315803689
Fuck this retarded boss, I've died at least 15 times, also both Witcher 1 and 2 both get progressively easier the more you play, unless you just rush through the game blindly and don't do any side quests.
>>315803553
Difficulty is subjective. What is hard for you may not be hard for others. I personally can see WHY they would be hard since you're fighting two guys at once but I personally did not have much difficulty with them as I quickly discovered you could dodge most of their attacks by jumping followed by Helm Breaker to land some damage on one of them. This was on NA Normal.
>>315803553
But by that point I was good at the game. They were a cake walk compared to Cerberus. Most of the time they just stand around asking to be hit and all you have to do is dodge their obvious attacks. It heats up when they combine but not much. Pretty sure I did it first time back when I first played it 9 years ago.
>>315798142
>>315798378
Yeah no Agni and Rudra were the end all be all casual filter OP is right. If you manage to squeeze by the first 3 bosses just barely, A&R were there waiting to teach you how to really play the game.
>>315803553
They're easy unless you're one of the people who tried to be cool and use trickster instead of swordmaster.
They don't do THAT much damage compared to other bosses
>>315804052
>A&R were there waiting to teach you how to really play the game.
Jumping when in danger and mashing one button? Because that's all it takes.
>>315798142
>NOT FUCKING CERBERUS
That fucker killed me about 25 times until I learnt to play properlywatching youtube videos.
>>315803489
I would argue he's a really fun boss. Nothing better than jumping on his back and fucking him before he can enter the next tunnel.
>>315804050
Whoa, you thought Cerberus was harder? I beat Cerberus in one try. To each his own I suppose.
>>315804096
I remember having to actually get better at the game to manage them, and yeah, I was using sword master I think.
>>315804206
>>315804096
>>315803957
I'm not sure if you guys understand what casual filter means. There are ways to beat them that make them much easier, but the point is that you cannot play the game casually when fighting them. You have to get good at the game, or learn some other tactics, and then you can fuck them up. By definition, this makes them casual filters, right?
this part requires you to partically master the swinging

>>315804461
>but the point is that you cannot play the game casually when fighting them
Of course you can, especially considering that the game has healing items.
>>315804206
Hahaha yeah okay

Almost didn't finish the game because of this goddamn fight.
>>315798378
this to be quite honest with you family
>>315804781
I used to work at a gamestop. There was this one guy there, a few years older than me, who was the definition of a hipster at the time, before it really blew up like it has now and every 20 something is one.
He liked Dark Souls. and would swear up and down that it was EASY because he had played it for hours and was good at it. Figured out it's ins and outs, timing for boss and enemy attacks, level design cheapshots, etc.
He could never admit that because he learned the game, and got good at it, it did by no accounts mean the game was an easy game. This must be a form of autism, and it frustrated me all the time.
Marco, is that you?
>>315804927
Dragon Quest? moar liek Grind Quest, amirite?
>>315804461
First time through Cerberus was harder because you only have pistols and Rebellion with very few healing items. Not to mention he's the first boss that appears at the end of a stage so if you die you have to go through lesser demons again to get to him. Therefore getting practice so as to beat him.
>>315804656

This shit right here
>>315804461
sadly, dsp has proven that wrong, he will find a way to be bad at a game and still win it. it's actually kinda impressive
I've heard you pushed the shit inside out from the other bosses, let's turn the tables on the penultimate stage.
literally impossible without co op
>>315800198Fucked me up good son, had to get my uncle to beat it for me.
>>315798763
Is HotS any good? I hate moba's, but the game is free and I am bored.
>>315800149
on normal right?
>>315809860
manages to be even more braindead and slower than LoL. that was my experience anyway
>>315805671
long before you fight Roxas this guy slaps casuals in the dick
>>315810053
FUCK those penguins
>>315800586
kek i actually stopped playing vc after this mission
>>315798634
>>315798898
>>315799380
Initial village is hard, especially when you don't know the Chainsaw triggers, but the Water Room is easily the true casual filter, shit killed my first run and i had to restart to have enough gear/skill to get through.
>>315810161
>manages to be even more braindead and slower than LoL
So perfect game for like 99% of /v/
As a child, this boss destroyed me! I couldn't get that I had to HEAL the fucker!
>>315798142
The main challenge is that the camera is far more fucked in that room than any other, swear you don't have any control over it
>>315803180
3 still had type weaknesses
>Light-beast Beowulf hits shit from Vergil's Dark-based katana
>Dark-based Nevan is super weak to Light-based Beowulf
>Fire/Wind based A&R does crazy damage/armor breaking on the Arachnids
It's not as overt as 1's "Shadows know how to dodge swords/punches but not bullets" maybe for the worse, but it's still there. 4 has nothing though iirc.
>>315800586
First try, no losses.

>>315798378
Truth.
Took me months tk beat Cerberus (in part because I stopped playing for other games), and after I beat Cerberus, the rest of the game was not that hard actually.
>>315811335
I really need to purchase Vanquish sometime.
I really can't beat DMC's third Nelo Angelo fight. The one in the big room with the stairs? He's not bullshit or anything, it's a fun as fuck fight but I don't have the skull to keep up with him.
Any tips perhaps?
>>315803553
Using Cerberus's revolver skill you can parry their attacks temporarily stunning them. While one is stunned concentrate on the other. Keep juggling between stunning one and hitting the other.
I actually beat them on my first try.
>>315811874
Nelo Angelo is a cunt. He's like the only part of DMC that's actually hard and holy FUCK is he hard.
I only played DMC once so I don't remember that fight, but is there something you aren't trying? Like a different weapon?
>>315812196
It has been a few months. I think I just got some sword slashes in when there was an opportunity, otherwise just dodged around and shot at him for a little chip damage.
>>315803553
I played on Normal my first playthrough and beat Agni and Rudra in at most two tries.
>>315811874
Ifrit + Kick 13 + Rolling Blaze and the Grenadegun are your friends
It was really satisfying putting her in the smelter.
>>315812490
>tfw fighting him for the first time
>forgot music box in my items
>navigate the menu and equip it while avoiding all damage
I didn't beat him, but I was just speeding through the game at a friend's house anyway.
Pretty fucking hype moment though
>>315798763
>invincible
>can see her coming from a mile away with that shitty low budget scifi "camo cloak"
>she has no escape tools apart from a shitty decoy that no one apart from literal mongoloids fall for
Agni and Rudra were much easier than both Cerberus and Beowulf.
I beat A&R on my first try and all I did was just stay in a corner and spam the gun and spin attack to keep myself afloat.
"unfortunately times up baby!"
"awwwww!"
The first vanguard and Cerberus felt harder to me than Agni & Rudra.
>>315802354
I bro-oped this game with a friend that had finished it before-hand and he finished this fight no problem while I was dying like a little bitch at the exact same time
>>315806124
Strength is much harder though
Didn't help that all hard mode does is bloat HP
>>315813695
If you can pull the trigger fast not so much, replayed it a few minutes ago and Strenght did me damage only with that shitty jump while he covers his face, on the other side, magician does that 360 spin while charging at you making it hard to hit his weak points, final boss was piss easy.
>>315800198
alma is more of a casual filter
>>315798634
The entirety of RE4 is casual. There's no filter at all.
>>315800272
I don't remember it being that difficult, I'd say lagerfeld instead, people don't understand that you have to attack him from behind
or the yeti
>>315799271

I had a bit more trouble with Dante desu
tfw you beat the rancor by sacraficing your teammates so you can run into the entrance where he can't hit you so you shave him down with a blaster for half an hour

>>315806124
>Second to last boss of the game

Casuals would have quit at chainsaw boss.

This guy was hard? I've been playing the witcher for the first time and didn't have any issues
>>315815194
whoops
>>315803689
>Spam Aard or Igni until it is stunned or staggered from being set on fire (lol)
WOW that was hard.
this desu senpai
>>315814084
>>315813121
lol i fought them like a month ago to see how the game ran on my laptop and they gave me a run for my money ....best gays in all of vidya
I knew many people who gave up here on the first fight.
I'm still pissed someone stole my fucking copy, but left the Bayonetta 1 disc.
Honor or bust
By this point, either you know you can handle the rest of the game, or you bitch out.

>>315798812
That fight is so dumb because you can get to it with like 3 random encounters, and not even know how to play.
>>315811335
>tfw beating challenge six and getting the platinum trophy after fighting with it off and on for a year
part of why Silent Hill is so based is that faggot slender/FNaF horror fans can't touch it.
>>315798812
>think there was some hidden method to this fight
>No, it's just a monster that shits out way more damage than literally anything you've met at that point
>Every boss is like this; nothing special besides lots of HP and stupid high damage compared to the area they're in.
I do kind of enjoy the game, but fuck those bosses. They're not fun, and they're not tests of player skills. They're basically out of depth monsters.
>>315812696
>First time
>Knowing music box trick
Come on man you ruined the fight for yourself.
>>315810181
>Tfw you realize how easy he really is
I think this fucked up casuals worse than Gascoigne.
Inb4 "hurr durr dode I beat him on my first try ur a plebe"
>>315800586
Good.
Fucking casuals.
>>315817352
I've played all the Souls games and I was getting fucking pissed...then I restarted and used something other than the faggot whip and realized the whip just sucks balls.
>>315805068
FUCK THAT STUPID FUCKING SHIT FUUUUUUUUUUUCK
>Long ass conversation before fighting him
>>315817469
I found DeS to be the easiest in the series by far, and flamelurker fucked me up proper. I beat maneaters and false allant first try, but flamelurker pushed my shit in.
Undertale is overrated garbage that is shilled by fags.
>>315812490
I found him easier than the Cleric Beast. He took me 2 tries while the Cleric Beast took me 4.
Agni & Rudra are especially difficult in the original edition of DMC3. In the Special Edition, they lowered the difficulty, added gold orbs, and it was a lot of easier to fight them.
But in OG DMC3, you fight them at the end of a really long chapter, you only have yellow orbs so if you die once or twice you have to start over from the beginning of the level, they're a lot faster, have more HPs, and your Dante has barely any health or abilities since it's one of the first levels in the games.
>>315815194
Just set a ton of mines and have him run into them. Not like they're used for anything else.
>>315798142
Angus and Rubric was such a dank boss fight. I want to fight them irl and then feel what it's like to fart thru their butt.
>>315817769
Wrong thread?
>>315817840
Og DMC3 in general was sicknasty ill when it came to difficulty. That shit was Souls before Souls was a thing.
Verdad, holmes.
>>315817840
>>315818014
Is there any difference between OG DMC3 and SE on very hard?
>>315817469
Penetrator is a bigger casual filter
>>315816923
it's a classic RPG, hard to not know how to play it
the only thing is timing rings for physical attacks
>>315817586
The whip is actually really good for that part of the game, in fact, it excels at killing fodder enemies because of it's long range. The only time it doesn't shine is during bosses, but that's what the parry mechanic is for.
>>315812490
I really wonder now how people found him difficult, I found him easier than the Cleric beast by far. Only took one go, and I didn't even have the music box. Not trying to brag, I'm seriously confused here.
>>315818171
>Getting Perfects on the rings raises your damage by around 5 to 20 points of damage
>Otherwise getting Goods work just fine for activating elements and status effects
Interesting mechanic but ultimately worthless.
>>315805068
Fuck this
>>315818236
Nigga fuck you and your bitch ass lookin whip. While you was spankin niggas I was 360 dankspinning them with a fucking axe. Don't ever contradict me in front of other people or I'll fuck your ass so hard you burp out a turd.
Bitch ass whip usin nigga.
>>315818236
Yeah, I ran with the cleaver, then saw spear, then stake driver for my first quality run, and had a real hard time when I started a new save for a skill run with the cane. Definitely have to rely on range, stuns, and parrying a lot more.Although I will say that there is nothing funnier than hate mail from failed invaders when I just R1 spam them with the stake driver in the frontier, calling me a noob for using my weapons biggest strengths, damage and speed in close range.
>>315811335
I couldn't even pretend to be that good.
>>315818014
Lots of people returned the game to the store, or had to grind just to get past Cerberus. It was harder than Souls.
>>315818096
OG DMC3 doesn't have a "Very Hard" difficulty setting. It's called "Hard".
They switched up all the difficulty settings, so the Easy difficulty in OG DMC3 is like the Normal difficulty in SE, the Normal diffculty in OG DMC3 is like the Hard difficulty in SE, the Hard difficulty in OG is called "Very Hard" in SE, etc.
Other than that, there's the fact that you can use Gold Orbs to get unlimited continues and be able to revive yourself on the spot, and some slight differences like the fact that Jum Cancelling is easier to do.
>>315814886
Fuck most of this game other than Vashyron's dance.
>>315811335
Omg he can run around like a faggot and shoot things every 20 second. What a beast. Omg.
>>315817952
No. Use critical thinking as to why I'd post that in this thread
>>315818927
Nobody has posted anything about Undertale though.
Are you implying that your post is some casual filter for taking the bait?
>>315809860
I am having fun with it. It's pretty dumb and casual but not a massive asspain and the community is not nearly as bad as LoL's. Good for playing a few matches when you have nothing better to do.
>>315817769
no one even mentioned undertale though
you're literally the undertale fag here today
>>315812478

Castlevania COTM Goat statue head BOSS
>>315798378
This, although the Hell Vanguard might qualify as well.
>>315803180
That was a GOOD thing since it meant that you could just use whatever you wanted. And 3 still had lots of type-based weaknesses that >>315811268 didn't even cover iirc, like Agni & Rudra doing more damage to Cerberus.
>>315820579
I beat 3 on HoH, DMD and Very Hard (On PC) while using half of a logitec controller and the other half of my keboard. For some reason, my keyboard didn't register attacks and my controller didn't register movement so I used both. Spent an entire summer playing it that way.
>>315811251
I never found this guy hard, even when I was playing through at a stupidly low level and didn't know about the heal trick. IIRC I got the the Nebelheim reactor spider at level 21, and that was the first boss I couldn't beat.
>>315822723
There's a shit ton
>A&R on Cerberus
>Cerberus on Gigapede
>Yamato on Fallen Angels
>(think) Beowulf on Doppelganger
There's more but that's the big ones, i think Leviathan has a weakness to Nevan, but A&R's Tempest's ridiculous hitbox makes it redundant.
Honnouji, Sengoku Rance.

Anon, pls
>>315816652
Really? Bayonetta 2 was pretty easy. I only died a few times.
>>315798142
when i was having difficulty with these guys i realized i had an easier time fighting both of them isntead of the one upgraded one so i would whittle them both down to almost nothing then kill them both around the same time.
>>315825484
Keep in mind the people I convinced to play it are fairly casual and dont play many hack n slash games.
>>315817710
Was coming here to post this fucker. I still get triggered when I hear People Imprisoned by Destiny.
>>315798378
Cerberus is just an annoying damage sponge.
>>315798142

Its like people don't even realize that DMC3 has a megaman element to its weapons vs. bosses.
>>315825484
>Really? Bayonetta 2 was pretty easy. I only died a few times.
People like you ruin threads like this. Just let us fucking bitch about something we found hard. I'm sure there is something you found hard in vidya that some other douche here did blindfolded, with no arms, underwater while sucking his dad off without dying once on the hardest difficulty with the starting weapon.
Fuck you and your shitty posts god fucking damn I mad.
>>315813121
>decide to try a hard KMS run

I've heard a lot about these guys being casual filter, but they're not that hard if you use prop shredder to counter their blows.

>>315798554
FUCK THAT BOSS
>>315798812
I was a fucking idiot and left Jansen in the front.
Once I realized that, I left him in the back and let him heal Kaim and
Seth. It was just a back-and-forth until the bird-looking fucker died.
>>315800586
I one-shot the tank boss, only to find out later online that everyone else had a problem with it.
I don't even have an RTS or strategy background.
Maybe RNG was on my side that day, but I've probably only failed one main story mission in Valkyria Chronicles.
>>315799193
DP is OP for casuals because it is babbys first AA. They jump into it constantly and think it's OP as fuck because they are retarded.
Maybe Monsoon from MGR.
Or Sundown.
>>315824376
Yeah, I had no idea Yamato was dark-based though
2nd time playing VC2 (got the undub this time) and I really got into it. And then I ran into this asshole in the April mission. RQ'd the game for months before I finally got past him. And the only reason I beat him was thanks to getting lucky from intercept fire AFTER he killed off Selvaria.
The August mission was also pretty fucking annoying with all those goddamn V2 everywhere.
>>315829949
Not harder than most other places unless you're going for some personal run
>>315829364
You likely RNG'd it out.
That was one of those missions where you had to do things in a very specific manner or you would get blown the fuck out, but if you did, it's really easy.
>>315829949
What was so hard about that place?
Go up the back and you can take out the entire base with CQC/tranq's in under 3 minutes, taking it slow.
>>315828262
The filter before the real filter got me first for a bit.
I never see this one mentioned, but Stage 6 of Resident Evil: Revelation's Raid Mode, possibly that part in the campaign as well.
But going through Stage 6 for the first time will probably be pretty damn tough since you basically have to deal with a shitton of enemies, plus an incredibly resilient tougher version of a boss from the campaign mode. If you go in with shit weapons, which is pretty damn likely since you're just starting out, or solo, you might have a really hard time.
Raid Mode isn't even hard up to that point. All of a sudden, it just gets really brutal. The next two stages after that as well, on every difficulty.
>>315829817
It's not hard to not pick it up considering there's only 2, tops 3 type advantages (Beowulf & Fallen Angels) considering most of the enemies are demons.
>>315829949
this is the real casual filter.
Even the tutorial level on this fucker where you aren't even racing anyone kicks your ass.
>spend most of a summer to finally beat Hard mode
>feel like a literal god
>"You have unlocked Very Hard!"
fucking NOPE
In my years of raiding I don't think I've ever hit a harder brick wall than these assholes.
Took my group 7 weeks to get through them.
>>315830867
I need to go back to this and beat it on fucking Normal.
IIRC, I'm on Ch. 6 or 7. I want to say Ch. 7.
>>315830647
Granted, it's been awhile since I've played it, desu senpai
>>315798378
I came here just to post this.
If A&R gave you problems then you wasn't playing properly at ALL since you should know how to do the basic shit by then. Cerebus played like a normal boss and had high HP right at the start.
It took me like 10 tries while A&R I beat the first time although i did use an item.
>>315829949
I had a much harder time with the fortress in Mission 10. That place is a bitch and a half to sneak through
>>315830867
That Grand Prix level with Black Shadow was downright fucking impossible though
>>315816652
>I knew many people who gave up here on the first fight.
Those people were fucking casual pleb scum, b/c Bayonetta 2 on the whole, is much, much easier than the first game. Did it on my first try, although I do think that fight was incredible.
>Beating the game makes you hot shit kid
>>315805068
i actually played this recently on PC
it was extremely easy, beat it on the first try, i admit the controls are a little clunky.
maybe its harder on PS2?

>>315831318
>If A&R gave you problems then you wasn't playing properly
Play the original edition of DMC3, Dante's Awakening, instead of the Special Edition. Good luck, you'll see that they're pretty much as hard as Cerberus, or even harder, especially since it's at the tail end of a long mission, and if you use the yellow orb system, you have to start over from the beginning if you die.
>>315831318
The only bosses in the game I found harder than Agni and Rudra are the final two. They were the big stumbling block I had on every difficulty.
I killed Cerberus on my second attempt during my first run through the game and had no issue with it on the higher difficulties.
gracious and glorious desu senpai
>>315816705
>pink rathian
shes still unfun as fuck to solo and has so much bullshit even after being experienced in this series
>>315832397
The original made it that much harder? I won't go back and played it now since I exhausted that game. 10~ playthroughs between the ps2 and PC version.
I'll look into it.

Man, without Kevin in your party, Loewe was basically "fuck you: the boss". I don't even want to imagine higher difficulties.
>>315798554
It's a shame the bosses are piss easy with magic
>>315833808
That fight is still before you get magic, I think.
>>315809860
its pretty good, way more fun than league, way less hard than Dota, but its still a moba at the end of the day.
>>315832991
>The original made it that much harder?
In the original version, the Normal difficulty setting is the same as the Hard difficulty setting in the Special Edition.
So you start with a clean Dante, no health upgrades, no nothing, and you have to beat essentially what's the Hard mode of the game, and the original DMC3 doesn't have gold orbs, so you can't keep using continues. Cerberus and A&R are hard as fuck, especially if it's your first time playing the game.
Boy if these weren't the best placed enemies in this game
>>315832746
>>315832746
>shes still unfun as fuck to solo
This is how I feel about a lot of the G rank content in 4U. When using the majority of weapons, the fights aren't very fun. CB and IG are the most fun and it feels like G rank was made with them in mind imo.

I love a challenge but I hate games with random difficulty spikes and poor difficulty balance.
Also on the topic of difficulty jumps and casual filters ill post one
>>315834073
Yeah, I think it is Spike followed by the lizard in the cave Undine is in. I was mostly bemoaning the later boss fights. I wish more were like that pic related.

>>315798378
This.
Took me 20 tries to beat Cerberus, everything after that was a breeze by comparison.
>>315817469
I still haven't beaten him before without getting him caught on a bone and shooting him, but maybe that's because I go to 2 right after tower knight.

>>315835730
Also this.
Phantom (who is really more of the casual filter of the game imo), Nightmare, the second Gryphon fight, etc.
>>315804927
best theme
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rjDs75G6M6A
>>315835847
Phantom is gets to be a filter twice. The first time is when you first play the game and don't know you can just DT and blow him up. The second time is on DMD, when that strategy falls to pieces and you actually have to play well to win.
All this talk of DMC1 has me pissed because I remember I couldnt beat the starfox mundus part.
Had no real problems in the game except for one of the nelo angelo fights and the gryphon fight on the boat
>>315817469
I beat him on my first try, but to be fair I had played DaS first and I was using a magic infused falchion.
>>315798142
One of the easiest bosses if you just spam the Revolver move with Cerberus
>>315836193
>Phantom is gets to be a filter twice. The first time is when you first play the game and don't know you can just DT and blow him up.
Wait wat
>>315836308
>All this talk of DMC1 has me pissed because I remember I couldnt beat the starfox mundus part.Same, almost. I can't get past the part right after.
I hate DMC1's design sometimes
>>315800198
Was just about to post this. This dude was the loud 'n clear message that Ninja Gaiden would hand me my ass many times before it was through. Loved every minute of it.
>>315811874
I love all the Nelo Angelo fights in DMC. They have a lot of cool little touches, like how you can deflect his sword strokes with the proper timing to create openings, and reflect his blue fireballs back at him.
The third fight is a pretty tough one. If you're using Alastor, I would suggest giving Ifrit or Sparda a try instead (assuming you aren't playing on normal and have Sparda already). Sparda does a whole lot more damage per hit and Ifrit is better at creating and exploiting openings against Nelo Angelo.
>>315834460
These along with Tom & Jerry are the two most overrated things in Dark Souls. Capra's not too bad either as long as you aren't slow as hell. You just keep running across and kill the archer face to face, I beat Biggie & Smalls on my second try just as a test run to see what moves they had, and I'm not that good of a player. It didn't stop the fight from being fun as hell though. Ironically, the easier boss fights in Dark Souls are the best.
If anything in that game is a filter it's either Kalameet or Four Kings
>>315836582
Yeah, if you use Alastor DT you can beat him pretty easily. You essentially tank his hits and kill him before he can kill you. This works until DMD, at which point he'll fuck you up before you even dent him.
>>315835685
Yeah tomb of the giants is a better example, given that usually people first encounter it right after beating Pinwheel, a super low level enemy. The only real way to go through this place is to wing it using prior knowledge or to use the sunlight maggot (skull lantern is not recommended, ever). Therefore, a lot of people would give up at this point seeing it as the most logical progression point, rather than backtracking all the way back to firelink.
Also a typical shield stops the damage but not the knockback? Can't confirm for a greatshield but my grass crest shield didn't do anything. That pic was one of the first I found in image search.
>>315837225
Oh, I'd been doing that the whole time.
>>315837149
>Four Kings
>Hard
Ever heard of Havel's armor?
Kalameet is hard but is totally optional and pretty late game so not what i'd consider a casual filter as most casuals would have stopped playing by then or just go around it.
Bed of Chaos would have been a great casual filter if it reset every time.
>aero3Yeah I know he's easy if you don't immediately go to wutai.
I don't know about you, but this was pretty effective.
>>315838069
They should just use this to get rid of poorfags pirating the games, make a section of the game full of NPCs and other stuff to fuck the game over, poorfags will have their toasters crashing and burning while people who actually bought a decent computer will just have a bit of lag until the section is over
>>315837626

>>315840554
also deletes your save right at the end of the game.
I don't know how anyone is supposed to beat this boss.
>>315841096
Oh, that's easy. You have to position Mario so that he lines up with a crease in the level border off the side of the platform. If you don't line it up right, King Bob-Omb will throw you off the mountain and you'll have to try it again, but if you do line it up just perfectly, King Bob-Omb will shoutI'M GONNA WRECK ITand throw you extra hard right at the crease in the level border. This will make you break through the outer wall of the level and smash through a portrait in Princess Toadstool's bedroom where you get to read her diary about the time she and Mario had sex, and how Bowser made her get an abortion and Mario had to console her, so she made him a cake after she got over it. That was originally supposed to be the plot of Super Mario World 3, but it was scrapped after Miyamoto got threatened by the Yakuza because Miyamoto did this to the Japanese Godfather's daughter.
Did I mention it's a video diary with a hidden unlockable sex scene?
>>315840917

>He never played ACII or brotherhood
I feel sorry for you senpai. Brotherhood is the best game in the series too by the way.
The first game is shit on way too much as well and is also an excellent game. The only thing I hate about it is Altair's voice actor is shit.
>>315835428
These cunts are the reason i hate Land of Dragons so much. Since you don't have anything to properly dodge by that point in the game and he has an unblockable attack i just end up spamming blizzard on it untill it dies.
>>315817710
played chrono cross for the first time this year, reach this asshole, oh cool I heard it was hard as fuck, kill him the first time without any problem at all, notice that I forgot to steal his white spell, oh well he was easy as fuck mite as just well reset the game and do it again
BIGGEST MISTAKE EVER
took me like 5 tries after that to actually kill him, first time I must ahve been lucky as fuck
>>315834692
>>315798554
This game is so fucking great, but I've always disliked how you could never tell if an attack on a hitstunned enemy was going to stack or miss or not stun them or who knows what. If there's an actual hit system there and it's not just bugging out all the time, I never figured it out. And even with that, it's one of my favorite games of all time.

Papa John has been the most fun boss so far for me. I guess I'll find the music box on the second playthrough...
>>315847641
I feel like a casual filter has to be the first spike in difficulty. I'd say the big lobster spawn would be the first spike for most people
>>315798142
I fucking love the Agni & Rudra boss fight.
There isn't really anything quite like it in action games.
This is a very rare example of a dual boss fight in an action game where the bosses had SYNERGY with one another. They had chemistry in how they behaved.
It's not like some other boss fights (such as pic related from Demon's Souls) where it is basically just two enemies put in a room together that you have to fight together that don't actually have any synergy or unique patterns when together.
>>315818569
>Using a low skill weapon
Bitch please - learn to Forward+R2 with the whip and watch niggas die. The cane is for 1v1 comboing and stealthy backstab visceral attacks.Really, though, I'd like to try the axe out, but I don't think it'd be worthwhile with my skill build. Still waiting to find a 2nd good skill weapon :'(
>>315811335
How the fuck do you even do that "slide into jumping kick" attack in Vanquish?
I just finished that game two days ago on normal difficulty and I couldn't do half the melee attacks this player was able to do. And I didn't know it was possible to "i-frame" roll through enemy attacks in this game.
Holy shit, I have so much I need to learn in this game.
>>315848576
I think what melee attack you do is dependent on what weapon you have equipped.
>>315848804
What about the smoking mechanic?
Does it actually do anything? I tried it once and it didn't seem to do anything.
>>315848958
It distracts the robots. The robots detect via heat, so they start shooting at it. Useful to create openings.
>>315849150
Fucking hell. I didn't know that. There is just so much I need to learn about in this game. It SEEMS like a simple game but it really isn't.
>>315846629

>>315816663
Rip
>>315830647
Wrong, bruh. There's a type advantage for almost each weapon, with a visual tell for when you get it right:
Cerberus creates larger ice crystals when triggering a weakness. It's noticeable with Geryon, Agni, Nevan, and the Gigapede.
Agni & Rudra are actually dual typed, fire and nonelemental. The tell here is a bigger burst of flames. The Gigapede is weak to fire, as well as bloodgoyles, cerberus, and some others.
Beowulf uses holy, and the Hell Vanguard, Doppelganger, and many others are weak to it, triggering a bigger flash of light when hits connect.
Nevan triggers a bigger electrical effect, and Bloodgoyles and Rudra get wrecked by it.
Yamato will fuck up the fallen and Beowulf really quickly with dark element. Its effect is a bigger purple/black effect similar to Beowulf's.
Reb, Force Edge, and the guns (although I forget if Artemis has an element) are non-elemental.
This isn't a complete list, since it's been forever since I played (and all the shit in leviathan is weak to ice, I think?) but there's way more element typing than is readily apparent in a regular playthrough.
>>315830979
What is this even
>>315812490
>Implying the game wasn't a breeze until later into the dungeons
Or more like, casual killer
For those of you who've played Wipeout HD, we can all agree that the casual filter is a stupid time trial trophy.
Magiccucкs need not apply, as ever.
>>315803689
Had to reset like 10 times because I thought I had to keep Abigail alive. Once I realized that her HP didn't matter, the battle was over in less than a minute.
>>315843725
Why the fuck wouldn't you save the game first
>>315798812
Nah he wasn't hard
Not those 2 weird snake fuckers later on were a fucking pain
>>315861947
Overrated as fuck. Even with a melee build. People only think he's hard because every other boss in the game save FKA is easy and tame as fuck. He's easy as hell to side dodge and punish his highly telegraphed "hand AoE" attacks. Not to mention he's glitchy as fuck. I often have to try to prevent him from getting stuck in a corner by trying my damn best to keep him away from those areas.
But I guess you CAN call him a casual filter, since his difficulty is objectively higher than the other bosses in the game, even though in the grand scheme of the SoulsBorne games, he is actually very simple and easy.
>>315862402
Having played all the souls games but not bloodborne, I still think he's one of the hardest if you're going in level order.
>>315861909
The number of groups killed by this one boss rises daily.
>>315803553
A&R is my favorite dmc3 fight apart from Vergil's but it was always pretty easy for me.

>>315862852

Man, fuck this boss. It was a gigantic pain in the ass on your first playthrough entirely because you didn't have any moves unlocked. Once you came back on later playthroughs with your full toolset it wasn't even remotely as difficult.

>>315863245
The fact that h said Bortherhood is the best shows it was a troll post. IT HAD TO BE
>>315863240
Do agree with this.
Agni & Rudra and/or Gunslinger with charged E&I shots fucking kill that piece of shit. Or Vergil with his Aerial Rave or whatever his aerial attack with Yamato is called.
I don't care for Cerberus too much as a boss fight. Feels like you're WAY too much on the defense the whole entire fight and I hate how you have to shatter the ice on him to open him up to damage.
He's really not THAT bad even still though, just not really a breeze.
>>315798142
Hell Vanguard should be the first casual filter.
With his teleporting all over the place.
>>315804927
this fight honestly wasnt that bad. I had more problems with the Kraken fight than Dhoulmagus. though I understand why he could be hard for some people with him being the first boss with that ice wave move(i think)
This guy has more kills than any other NPC in WoW
>>315798378
Cerberus the first time was pretty fucking annoying because I was a shitter. Cerberus the second time was fucking brutal. Agni and Rudra were easy as shit.I beat the last Vergil fight in 2 tries, what's so difficult about it?
>>315818442
Same happened to me actually, had big trouble dealing with Cleric beast but Gascoigne? Easy as shit in comparison, didn't even know about the music box thing until I was told afterward by afriend.
>>315864342
Vergil 3 is easy once you realize that all you need to do is copy his pattern one move delayed to hard counter him.
>>315864249
Dude what? The Black Knight was the easiest part of that bullshit tournament. I've never seen anyone lose to him.
>>315813121
Elvis 2 was the bane of my casual existance. These two can be beat with cheesing strategies, but in the graveyard you need to learn how to dodge, because Elvis will fuck your asshole

Isn't it almost the exact same shit?
>>315827081
Fuck these guys
>>315826340
Fuck this area
>>315857091
Glad someone posted these two. Something about their movements I just can't consistently dodge to activate witch time. Then about two thirds in the game comes Gracious and Glorious.
>>315827081
I know that it's possible take him down through other means than the hammer but fuck these guys anyway, and the game often has you fight them in enclosed spaces on later difficulties. I still can't quite get a handle on them.
The entirety of Operation 003 for me was a casual filter. Gave me so much trouble.
>>315865137
This fucking boss, oh my god.
/Thread
For those 3 other people who've played this game
>>315817352
I'm an actual casual. Took me so many hours to get past those assholes.
Shadow Kanji or Shadow Yukiko for Persona 4
Shadow Mitsuo is the real difficulty spike of the game though
>>315814910
Calc II was easy, Calc III is where you really get the casual filter
>>315798378
Did people actually have trouble with him? As long as you didn't get greedy with combos and let him headbutt you over and over, everything else about him was piss easy. Phantom is more difficult than him.
