You have to die in Baroque at specific areas to progress in the game.
Baroque is weird.

A bunch.
as an example, there's a bunch of really bad euro-developed shoot-em-ups [too many to list] where you outright can't dodge everything that comes your way no matter how good you are because your ship's too big and they use a health-bar system to compensate the fact that you HAVE to get hit

Why? don't want the but hurt from lose an exclusive?
>>337649349
Souls games if you want to use the red tear stone
>>337650928
No, it would be a bad port.
>>337649349
monster hunter if you want sub 3 minute clear times.

Limit breaks in final fantasy vii, although thats not exactly essential. Also games where you are meant to lose at a certain battle or a cutscene is triggered when you take a certain amount of damage.
There's several games, usually RPGs where certain abilities activate at only low health, but I guess that isn't really 'essential.'
Half Life

You mean like in Gradius you weeb shit. Or how about doodoopoo and all those other games with "smart" bombs to compensate for the fact that you HAVE to get hit ;^)

It has a shield, aka the ability to take multiple hits without dying, aka the same thing you're associating with bad design.
>>337653507
you say that as if you start with one or that it isnt the most expensive powerup in every game its been in
>>337653809
I didn't say that as if that at all. I don't think you know what the fuck I'm saying as if.
>>337653887
youre arguing that gradius was designed around taking multiple hits despite the shield being the most difficult power up to acquire
>>337654091
Shields are pretty expensive in Tyrian too does it get a pass?
