Never play Clock Tower 3

Gallardo994 ,

Sounds like FNAF Security Breach. These bugs are hilarious.

Sam_Bass ,

Yeah some story elements are written in stone

Just played through Borderlands 3 (again) with a friend where this happens frequently. We MELTED the bosses, but then the main villains show up to fuck up the NPC allies. Uh, hello, our characters are technically standing right there. Why aren’t we stopping them?

Xotic_rerolpX , (edited )

Literally a similar (if not more egregious) thing happens in Borderlands 2, where Roland can take a fuck ton of damage with you fighting in that arena where you kill Angel, but then Handsome Jack shoots him once and he dies?

Aermis ,

I mean the games are basically satire and comedy.

fsxylo ,

New u machines are technically canon but let’s not think about those implications.

Piemanding ,

His plot armor ran out just then.

loaExMachina ,

Excuse me, real cultured people only play games where the bosse’s hp just stops going down at one point if you’re supposed to lose, and just for spite you keep playing and hitting them as long as you can fully knowing losing is inevitable (See the first fight against Maja’s Dark Spectrobes in “Spectrobes: Beyond the Portals” and the first fight against Nero and Blank in “SolaToRobo”).

I really love Kojima for this, many bosses are but in there as a story moment to Warf you down and show you just what you have to build up to fighting. But on NG+ or if you just are really fucking amazing some of those intended to lose battles can be won and the boss will react appropriately like "WHAT?! IM GETTING THE STORY GUN NOW HOW DARE YOU BEAT ME BEFORE I CAN MONOLOGUE BALWAKJLAHKLWA" and even say so on the following events like "YOU WONT BEAT ME WITH MY MCGUFFIN". But yeah I'm so sick of the 'have to lose to this guy so you have a grudge, trolololo' mechanic too.

mindbleach ,

And MGS3 gives you a chance to shoot the third boss before you’ve fought the first boss.

FunkyMonk ,

I loved the end, you can also beat his whole fight by waiting like a month between saves and he dies of old age. The exploding wheelchair though where you can just rando snipe him was beauty.

NG+
Beat boss that was impossible on first run
Game recognizes it, gives you a new ending

Thanks Chrono Trigger.

blanketswithsmallpox ,

Tales of Symphonia was great like that too. Except it felt way more in your hands than it did in the stats hands.

It was always in the stats hands though lol.

ramble81 ,

I love that Chrono Trigger has 13 different endings depending on when you beat it. Fun fact, you can do them all in one NG+ play through if you save correctly.

NaibofTabr ,

Do people still use the term “railroading”?

NigelFrobisher ,

If you die in a cutscene you die in real life.

Renacles ,

Hellblade 2 does this at the beginning and it bothered me so much, I wasn’t even getting hit.

mindbleach ,

But if you lose in gameplay, you have to start over.

Some devs do not understand what failure states mean.

Grass ,

struggling the first real fight in sekiro and starting over repeatedly…

or other games where it doesn’t force you to lose in a scripted way, but the boss is just invincible and losing or glitchcing is the only way to proceed.

ZeroTHM ,

You can win it, the reward is a slightly different cutscene but the ultimate outcome doesn’t change. It does give a little more insight into Genichiro though.

Grass ,

I still felt immensely let down after doing like 73 retries

Gutek8134 ,
@Gutek8134@lemmy.world avatar

Beat him first try in NG+, recommend doing the same cause his moves don’t change

programmer_belch ,

It is really cool to go through the entire game again and completely embarrass all bosses because you know all their patterns. I got shurikened three times doing all achievements

discostjohn ,

Who throws the damn shuriken?

WillBalls ,

It’s a nightjar ninja who comes in during the cutscene

discostjohn ,

Holy shit, you’re right
