competitive pokemon is incredibly autistic though, it can be considered a casual filter
>>331446150
You should, it's not hard to fight them.
>>331446507
Competitive Pokemon is an optional metagame of an optional feature. It is not a casual filter.

>>331446382
PTSD desu.
>every now and then decide to emulate a pokemon game but it quickly becomes apparent thanks to fast forwarding through combat that the one true challenge was merely time after you breeze through every encounter
>>331446792
Its a casual filter in the sense that casuals don't do it, that's what a filter does it stops people from "getting through"

Autism.
Welcome to casual hell.
>>331447651
Yes, pokemon is loved by autists.
Do not click this. I am warning you.
Don't fucking do it.

>>331447260
>>331447501 already summed it up, but
The goal is to defend the northern-center end of the map for 11 turns.
The map is a port, meaning a lot of (mostly)impassable water tiles.
There are, at any given moment, 30-ish enemy units of varying power, a handful of which are pegasus knights(meaning they can go through the water). There's also Oboro/Hinata to worry about.
Some of the units(including peg. knights) will just outright avoid you and go for their objective.
Near the end, Takumi(provided you haven't killed him somehow) uses a dragon vein to drain all water, opening the map up for everyone.
That's mostly it, I may be forgetting some points.
>>331447794
Depends on when you get it.

Since when does it need to be required to be a casual filter?
>super slow but hits hard so the player needs to learn not to buttonsmash
>if you don't learn to aim for the right parts takes forever to die so the player needs to learn positioning and timing
>>331443774
Not a casual filter, because it happens after the endgame.
But holy shit, is this the most stressful thing in the entire franchise. People who complain that Pokemon isn't like a true RPG, should try to go 70 floors in the Pyramid (Open Level, none of this Lv.50 baby shit).
I got the Gold Medal there this past Valentine's Day. Let's go over what can happen in here:
>Each round of 7 floors could take 20-40 minutes
>You can only run away from random encounters a certain amount of times before the game hacks the speed tiers and prevents escaping
>One floor has all wild pokemon that explode (two if you count the Rock pokemon floor)
>One floor has all wild Pokemon as either Wynaut/Wobbuffet and Diglet/Dugtrio
>Too many critical hits making you use more potions and revives than you want to
>Hell, you may not find ANY revives (I was lucky, though)
>On the last floor with only one Pokemon left, desperately holding onto hope that you'll make it out
>The frequent choice between "Use this item now if you want to make it" vs. "I might need it next round"
The only gold symbol I've ever got, and I'm fine with that.
hqx2 is a casual filter
>>331448083
that's like the definition of a casual filter
something mandatory that requires a modicum of skill to pass, thus filtering out casuals from the rest of the game
>>331447794
When I saw that first cryssalid I knew shit was about to go down.
![Riovanes_64[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/QZTwd93.jpg "Riovanes_64[1].jpg")
Absorb power in the sky and strike!
So how about those invisible rats?
I'm not actually sure if you can call this a casual filter as it's not difficult or anything, but the casual-est of casuals would probably get stuck here.
>>331447794
This gets posted every time. I haven't played XCOM but what makes it that hard?
>>331445620
I got stuck on that level. Guess im a casual.
The only difficult part of the game for me.
Hope you've brought some buffs, dicknose
The entire emerald battle frontier tbqh
>>331449114
swarmed with dipshit chryssalids, terrain doesn't exactly help either
i have no idea how you "should" do it. i just kamikazed a couple of rookies.
>>331449114
Infinitely respawning Chrysalids, once you've played it once or even got wiped once its incredibly easier the next time, It's just a case of them randomly putting in something that either literally never happens or rarely ever does in the entire game other than this

Pretty sure a casual filter is "that" challange early-mid game that basically tells you the game isn't going to fuck around anymore. Not the extra level you find in the postgame.
>>331447917
There's also one generic soldier who has like 4 more levels than any other. Fucked me so hard.
>>331449669
FF3 has the most ballbusting final dungeon in the series, except perhaps FF1
>>331449861
true enough but that's almost entirely because you can't save once you enter
>>331444758
You can keep laughing then because it is one of the most complicated jrpgs out there
>>331449214
Insanity was a fucking chore to beat. Worth it for the N7 gamertag picture.
>>331444758
I bet you think Mario RPG is for scrubs too.
Just because it doesn't have 50 different kinds of stats doesn't mean it can't be fun.
>>331449421
i literally never learned how to do this i always just used the healing touch and cheesed it
>>331444758
What mature games for mature gamers do you prefer?
Was stuck in this temple for so long
>>331449503
i never had any major problems with any ff i played but ff3 is a straight punch to the gut, what could i have been doing so wrong?
and every boss is just "i hope i get lucky this time" since every one one shots half or the whole party.
>>331448485
>mfw master lancer
>>331449474
Honestly, I think Tigrex is the biggest casual filter.
>>331449503
Garuda would be a better example
>>331447936
>Not spamming dizzy shell
>All of these shit tier gamers
Kek
>>331450456
Getting there means you beat Blangonga, casuals can barely handle Congalala.
Barroth is the best example in Tri. HR7 was common online because casuals couldn't even be CARRIED past that wombo-comboing monster.
>>331450456
Everything before him is easy as shit but then Tigrex comes along and rapes your corpse
>>331450716
Pretty much this. Most other games' hardest boss is on congalala level.
>>331446394
No, both Demon's Souls and Dark Souls' "two bosses at once" gimmicks were the casual filter.
If you had a hard time with O&S or Maneaters you're a casual.
>>331450791
Luckily I used lance first time I played the game and it wasn't that hard.
>>331449995
>Going in with Parasol
>All those Parasol Drills
>The resulting corner rape if you dare try to block
>>331443774
My favorite was the one where you battled with completely random pokemon and got to switch with the other team's after a battle.
>>331450456
Only in freedom series , in 4U he's an emasculated piece of shit
>>331447459
But going by that logic you could post the online lobby of any game ever and call it a casual filter.
>>331445620
got stuck half way though, ran out of healing items and was underleveled. too far in to go back, not far enough to get past.
you can use cure and life to kill the zombies, but still, shits hard.
had to restart game from beginning, made sure I was overleveled for that part and it was no problem.
>>331451502
>invulnerable to anything below the highest weapon tier
>faster, stronger, and more health than any other enemy
>can take 2 blaster launchers right to the face
>>331451729
And, you need to infiltrate a base filled with them to capture one or two.
Hello sir, we would like to remind you that you seem to have set the difficulty to "Hard" by mistake
>>331448485
>move
>buff
>repeat 20 times
>one shot boss
Wow, very hard.
>>331450456
They fill different roles, I think.
Pink Rathian teaches new players to be prepared for attacks with weird, wide animations that hit hard.
Tigrex, meanwhile, shows players that the best way to deal with speed and aggression is to fight it head-on.
>>331451502

>>331451950
Probably one of the most condescending fucking things a video game can do is recommend you lower the difficulty. I think DMC4 did this and it would piss me off every time I saw it.
>>331452147
i forgot, i'm the only one in the world that didn't think to do that my very first playthrough
>>331452163
And Brachydios teaches you that these game developers hate you way more than your parents ever did.
>>331450592
>Using kek even in a shitpost

that's literally not logical, anon

>>331445620
i own the fe7, sacred stones, path of radiance, radiant dawn, and awkening and i haven't beaten a single one of those games, yet even I had literally no problem with that level
>>331447346
Why the fuck is this level so hard when the two following it aren't?
>>331449296
i died like three times against him, but it was always a close enough fight that i never really got discouraged enough to give up
fucking medusa on the other hand rapes me so fast i don't feel like trying again

There is no proper way. The smiley face doesn't even affect the outcome, it's all pure RNG calculated the second the customer walks in.
That's why those asshole red penguins storm out on you even with smiley faces.
>>331454621
I'm one of the top 10 AG players on showdown. I'd whoop you m8
>>331454273
Well I was in 3rd grade when it came out, I remember it being awful. Specifically the last part with the queens.
>>331447879
that was pure hell, worse as a kid, it would take us months to do that part or simply start from the first level to be able to play the game
>>331455102
hahahahahaha
>>331455423
I had rented EJW1 after playing 2 and I never got past it.

It's pretty much random from what you sell to what price you can sell it at. Sometimes it's literally impossible be able to earn the target because the digimon will simply just not ask for the expensive items or won't buy them at any price.
>>331455610
>>331449939
I believe the person who wrote this post is serious.
Unfortunately lots of people dropped the game here or soon after this.
>>331443774
>>331456002
What's the problem with this guy?
maybe at the easiest difficulty you can get through him without parrying, but if you're playing on Hard either you learn to parry against him, or you drop the game
>>331456415
They probably are.
But I can't hate Pokemon itself even if the games are shit because it has an endless supply fantastic porn.
>>331456002
You reminded me of this motherfucker.Hell, the entire Sealed Cave could be a filter.

That's not a casual filter anon. If it occurred in the middle of the main game then maybe.
>>331456428
Fallout 2 does have a shitty start though. Not unplayable but the first 2-3 hours are a bit dull
>>331447260
Conquest AI is on a whole new level. They're smart as fuck. They know not to immediately attack your biggest damage dealer because it would give you two chances to attack them.
>Pokémon single player
just brute force through everything
>Pokémon multiplayer
one of the most complex non-real time games there are
the only single player portion of a pokémon game I can even recall to even consider being a casual filter is Sabrina in Pokémon Yellow (yes, exclusively on Yellow, not on Red/Blue)
>>331447794
Never lost a person there, even on LW this place is easy with basic tier 1 equipment.
And in LW it is filled with Thinmens too.
>>331457330
>Conquest AI is different from Birthright
oh fuck, is that real?
shitty AI has always been a problem in FE games
If you couldn't Perfect this you are a turbocasual
>>331449114
So you have to go to this ship on the otherside of the map. along the way is your standard enemies, including Chryislids. When you get to the Ship, it starts spawn 3 Chryisids each turn with no limit.
You have to get back to the starting point before you get bombed, and along the way, Chryislids will spawn from dead sharks you passed by.
>>331454737
>character loves anime
Makes sense.
>>331451950
just grind
>>331443774
>>331457656
>standard enemies
>on this map
Nigga, the map is filled 100% with Lids only and like 2-3 zombies. Unless you're talking about Long War.
>>331447917
There's also buildings to visit to bait you
a ballista up front to bait you in to getting most likely Niles killed the next turn
there's also a much less effective ballista to the upper right that you have to make sure to defend for two waves of archers otherwise it gets taken and you get pounded with arrows.
This place sucked pretty hard if you didn't grind and didn't know what you were getting into.
>>331458627
Is that the GBA version?, I say that because the colors look bland.
>>331458627
i actually agree with this. hardest section of FF6 barring a blind run of Kefka's Tower.
Atma Weapon is also a very difficult boss for its place in the game
>>331458945
probably yes (though I'm not sure, and I'm not the guy who posted that), you have to remember that the GBA games in general had to take in account the original, unlit GBA screen
here's a good example of a game being very altered (when compared to other games of the series) to better suit the GBA screen

What's up with the walls in Final Fantasy being brutal? Like, FF7.
This whole game pretty much.
>>331464062
I'd say Alice.
The first dungeon is pretty easy, but the Alice bossfight will destroy you over and over until you get the mechanics of the game.
>>331446394
I felt it was a kind of try and error boss. First time you walk in and you get hit before you know whats happening. Then you retry and you dont know how to deal with the dogs. Then you retry again and find out you can deal with the dogs first and then its easy. But I felt the cheapshot at the start felt jsut hard for the sake of it
>>331449214
I remember the first time I just rushed the main missions. This broke my dick and I restarted with another class (was mage). Then I did a load of random worlds and then came back and cleared the game easily

>>331465745
This from a community who praises Gen V for being 'hard'. When its literally the exact same as every gen, just with a higher EXP rate that makes you level a little more.
No Pokemon game is hard. Its just about extra leveling or using the 10% of Pokemon who are broken.

>>331443774
>>331466421
Nobody praises Gen V for being hard you retard, they praise specific hard elements that exist within the games. Ghetsis had a well-designed villain team, for example; within the context of the main pokemon games (which have always been easy), this was a nice change of pace. The PWT struck the right balance between the Battle Frontier's goofy bullshit matchups with the relative fairness of the Battle Tower.
I have no idea what point you're trying to make, since ingame battling is completely separate from competitive battling.
>>331466232

AI for both games are significantly more intelligent than Awakening's AI. With awakening you can pretty much just bait enemies and fight them at your leisure, but in Fates there's a lot of enemies who just stay until you get close enough to attack, many refuse to attack a unit they can't hit/damage, and the map design is crazy enough that there's some challenge in both games. Assuming you're not autistic and don't just grind all the way up, even birthright's got some hard points in it.
