Let's discuss the genuinely most challenging puzzles in videogames. So challenging that you would think the game is bugged (even if it's not).
the last few dungeons in oracle of ages were complete bullshit
Merry Digmas and a happy new hole
>>729741332I've beaten Pokemon Red several times and I still dont understand how the Lt Surge puzzle works
ALL THESE SQUARES MAKE A CIRCLE ALL THESE SQUARES MAKE A CIRCLE ALL THESE SQUARES MAKE A CIRCLE
>>729741646You just press shit until the door you want opens up lel lmao
>>729741646Mostly luck, but in Gen 1 it's unironically bugged so you can pick the upper left can as the second and it will work every time.
New Year status?
>>729742108Fuckin ruined.
>>729741553T-thanks
Fun fact: If Claude hadn't found surf already he'd be running out of money for safari zone attempts right around now
>>729741479Are there any other puzzle games that are on the level of those gameboy zeldas?
>>729742362I still cannot believe he wasted more time in this fucking mansion than Safari zone. Way more insulting than the Silph arc somehow
>>729741332surely before next year
>>729742746Ballman had flare.Mansion is just sad. It's reminiscent of the dig retardation of previous claudes, a new low for Claude the 6th. Not dooming, just disappointed in this digger.
>>729742820Nibbles bros we gonna be eatin good once we get to victory road...
>>729742928soon......
>>729742928imagine the exp from a lvl 47 exploding graveler
>>729742960https://youtu.be/vAoOJLpYKJ0?si=C-BkGoH1CxpS7GqD
>>729742960Nibbles(forma de bien alimentado)
rat surge soon
>>729743025>pulls the leafy 1/256 dodgeOHHH SHIIIII
>>729742108Digger Brown i'm afraid
>>729741332This piece of shit. I was never able to solve it myself.
Can't wait for Blaze to choke to Lorelei enough times Claude considers strengthening the rest of his team so boxes Nibbles to catch something high level.
I'm gonna laugh so fucking hard if this is what ends the run
>>729743427no way claude will level his team before replacing them
>>729743427>so boxes Nibbles to catch something high level.sweet release...
>>729741553>>729743331I don't get it.
>>729743427>spoilersacrilege he has an open slotIf he boxes nibbles I'm fucking DONE with this shit
will claude beat the mansion for new years?
>>729743469try DIG for a fresh approach
>>729743469but can you dig it?
TM28 and its consequences have been a disaster for the Claudian race.
>>729743538we'll be lucky if he beats it before the weekend. He's just gone full retarded with no sign of recovery
>>729743727Wasn't it CC that suggested teaching DIG during Jr.'s run?
Ah has he finally reached a tard pen?
>>729744252it's a tard mansion and he's having lots of fun DIGging in and out of it
>>729743943I can't really remember the exact details of each claude, but dig is forced on him and he always tries to teach it if he can, especially when he starts feeling stuck. He didn't immediately teach dig this time around, but taught it around Rocket Hideout. People were freaking out, but it didn't really punish us too hard until now. He's fully embraced diggerism.I know this dev is trying to ween Claude off hints, but imagine how different previous claudes would have been if one of the hints was "toss dig". He just can't be trusted with it
>>729744320>DIGoh Claude not again
>>729742686i wonder how they decided which menu sprites to make for gen 2 considering most of these seem specific to one pokemon line
>>729744320We need a sequel based on one of those shitty haunted mansion CGI movies
>>729744369Yeah I can't quite remember if CC suggested it for Jr., but I'm reasonably confident CC did for III, because I remember people being fucking livid about it, and making pic related for the occasion. (It's also why the DIG TM and drill are purple, since it was her fault for that run's DIGtism.)>I know this dev is trying to ween Claude off hints, but imagine how different previous claudes would have been if one of the hints was "toss dig". He just can't be trusted with itIt'd be nice, especially since this Claude appears to be A-OK with tossing random TMs for inventory space.
>>729744565I miss Puff.
>>729744595>that spoilerinteresting lore implications, did not know that
>>729744626...said literally no one ever
>>729742960I believe
>>729744730Sand and Puff were friends, don't be uncool
Assuming Claude eventually finds the secret key and makes his way to Viridian, then Victory Road, do you believe he'll be able to diagnose the problem that he needs strength and needs to return to the Safari Zone, or do you think he'll stumble around like he's doing now without figuring out the key to progress?
>>729744806Sand and Puff at least had a truce. We cannot say the same for Sand's relationship with the bug babies.
>>729742686i'm playing prodigal and it's pretty much as close to a gameboy zelda as you can get without copyright infringment, gameplay and graphics wise.
>>729744813I see no reason to believe it won't be the latter, and it probably won't be quick either
>MSGCwhat other CCs would there be, and what would their outfit/look be?
thinking about playing luigis mansion today
>>729744979looks neat, I'll check it out
>>729744813He wont remember strength until he hits his first rock puzzle
>>729745365Naturally. The question is how long will it take him stumbling around in Victory Road to realize he fucked up. He could look at the rock and think maybe there's another way.
>>729742928>We tried to make the 132nd strongest Pokemon in Kanto... and we succeeded...
>>729741332In sorcery 3 there was an enemy that rewrites time. When I attempted to kill the serpent the game mentioned how I couldn't do that since I lost my arm earlier. I legitimately though that the game was bugged so I rewound time and came at it from a different direction. When it happened again I realized that it was a time serpent and what it was doing. Wasn't particularly challenging once I realized what was going on but I can't recall any other instance of this happening at the moment.
>>729741332"The Greatest Story Never Told" quests in FFXIV were legitimately fun and challenging to do without a guide. Not bullshit to the degree you think the game is bugged or anything, but I would say they were a good degree of difficulty. You get puzzles like this>If SWORD+SWORD=DAGGER, bring me G of item R in the local shop.
>>729745597
>didn't even need to see himHe won.
>>729745932SWORD=78321, DAGGER=156642, bring 6 of item 2, right
>>729746374NEETgods...we kneel.
>>729744595Seeing that happen in real time was such a treat.
>>729741332i couldnt figure out the last puzzle in witcher 2
>>729746546Bingo
>>729746374>Never loses>Bald>WinAye, but at what cost?
>Claude blows through the safari zone>Gets stuck in the mansionriggers
>>729747469Diggers even.
FUCK DIGGERSI HATE DIGGERSCC is cute tho
>>729747975CC is complicit with diggerdom.She NEVER scolds him for it, just encourages him. She's a mindless cheerleader along for the ride
cc loves getting dig
>>729742686
poke experts I got all 16 badges in hg and access to mt silver, but doesn't red have like a level 90 pikachu? most of my team is only level 55. what am I supposed to grind now?
>>729749078it's high leveled but it is just a Pikachu at the end of the day. If I could beat it as a kid, so can you. If you wanna know how low leveled speed runners cope, it's stacking a bunch of X items, but that requires some planning/strategy
>>729748845wow gen1 graphics were terrible
>>729749078all the trainers in kanto you skipped obviously
>>729749078Once you get 16 badges in HGSS the Elite 4 get stronger, higher leveled teams. They're probably the best grinding spot.
>>729749078gen2 without romhacks has terrible level curves like that, put on youtube and just grind for 10 hours bro
>>729749514Yeah man, I can't even tell what any of those pokemon are supposed to be!
>>729749078Just abuse stat boosts. You'll beat him
local Clod finds new and impressive ways to be fucking retardedI was hoping my few days of not checking would cause him to progress like the last three times
>>729749636>nooooo the gameplay is too clunky>I need QOL! I need romhacks!>ooooooooohh the level curveFunny how NOBODY complained about that when gold/silver dropped. The games were simply: The shit. HG/SS drops. Best remakes ever, still haven't been topped.But ooooyyyyy veyyyyy da level curve!!get over it you jabronis
>>729748845I always got that fat retard in B2, in hindsight I guess I fed him too much.
>>729749556I beat every trainer in kanto>>729749632it says lance has a level 75 dragonite. is there nothing around level 60 to beat up for exp?
>>729750608Do you not have anything bulky with an ice move?
EVERYBODY HERE NEEDS TO BE NICE TO Claude OR ELSE
>>729750608Do you not have any mons with ice attacks? A bulky water type maybe? Farming the lower run of the Elite 4 is where you get your EXP. You could fight wild mons around Mt. Silver which are in the 50s and high 40s
>>729750608Are you doing a no death run or something?Getting the exp of all of the rest of the E4 is more than worth, even if you lose to Lance.
>>729751048I refuse to be an enabler like you, CCthe man needs real help
>>729751048Or else what, he's gonna DIG and then knock on Blaine's locked door again like a cuck?
10 HOURS OF BLACKOUTS AND NOT INTERNET SERVICEPLEASE TELL ME HE HAS PROGRESSED, I'M 6 FEET FROM THE EDGE
>>729751350Your blackout strategy has not worked.
>>729751140I have blastoise with ice beam but it's only level 55>>729751183but think of all of my pokedollars I'll lose
>>729751350lollmaoeven.
>>729751470Anon, just play the game. You're sitting in this thread fretting over a game for children. Just play it.
>>729749838I've played these games too many times at this point not to play romhacks for something fresh
>>729751350Interesting, but not concerning
>>729751470You gain a shit ton of pokedollars from beating the elite 4 though. You don't lose half your money like in gen 1 when you lose
>>729751604I don't want to grind random encounters in mt. silver for days until I'm strong enough to not lose. what about the gym leader rematches? how do I refight the johto losers?
>>729751470oh no not the pokedollars you have zero use for and can infinitely farm by being strong enough
>>729744926Reminds me of that PMD team that's a weedle and a pidgeot or something and it's "Team Tasty"
>>729751965It was a Swellow and Wurmple I thinkthe Wurmple is worried about being eaten all game while the Swellow's oblivious until the end when the Swellow's like "...wait, what?"
>>729751965Yeah they were a Wurmple and Swellow>wurmple is always worried swellow is going to eat him but is too scared to say anything>finally comes clean after the credits>swellow just goes "wtf i would never do that bro you're my best friend in the whole world">wurmple cries tears of joyIt was cute
>>729752501Right you are. Hoenn erasure strikes again
>>729752586I'd like to think Sand and Sting had a moment like this off screen, but we all know once they got put in the PC nobody saw those sleepy bugs again.
>>729748845is that fucking lamball???
>>729752653misty's reaction when she sees my worm too
B1f status? Is he even getting close?
>>729752724Misty? Never heard of her. That's CC and Claude!
>>729752937>Is he even getting close?
>>729752653What if Sting was TRAPPED and BETRAYED in the Voreaphilic Sand Stomach?
>>729686138Did anyone save these? I missed it.
>>729753041You know I think someone wrote a song about that
>>729752937He ventured down there a few hours ago only to DIG next to the room where the key is, now he's convinced that 3F has no floor holes apparently
>>729753103Negatory.
>>729753131I prefer the instrumental myself.https://youtube.com/watch?v=xtdF7X1oIvY
>>729753330>Vorestrumental
