They make you work for that best ending
>>740643153For real.You're not a real gamer unless you've beaten this.
>>740643153what am i even looking at
>>740643153I just cheese the last two phases with the rocket and Spur/Nemesis.
>>740644443read the filename
>aim up and shove 1000000000 rockets up his assyeah real hard bros lmao
>>740643153you know, this has bothered me for over 10 yearsare those two segments below his lip with the black dots supposed to be his pecs? because i've never been able to see them as anything but nipples
>>740643153Living out the rest of your days with curly brace is worth it
>>740643153I replayed this recently and I beat him on my 2nd try, (or my third try if you count the 1 time I died in the hell section).I remember having way more trouble with this as a kid, it took me dozens of attempts back then
it's so sad that sue was turned into a migma
I did this in a full deathless run back in 2011. Used to be a Cave Story super fan (still love it but it’s not my personality anymore)
>/v/iggas don't even recognize cave story nowadaysjust let me die in peace
>>740648816It’s sad. One of those games I’d easily go up to bat for in a “which game is closest to being perfect” argument.
>>740648816watch the rapthrough before you die
Kero Blaster is better
>>740648918alright
>>740648918Too short, and I prefer the Metroid-inspired level design to Mega Man.
>>740649040takes me 6 hours to beat kero blaster (including the bonus Zangyou mode campaign) but only 5 to 100% cave story
>>740648706Who the hell is Steve Jobs?
>>740648918Played both. Always hear this. Never agree, despite both games being good.
>>740643225beating ballos isn't the filter, finding out you fucked up the curly requirements 6 hours ago and starting over is the real gamer test
>>740649532migma ballos
>>740643225I beat this (with cheatengine). Having to reach the boss every time I died with no checkpoint was too much for me.
I couldn't get out of the first room because of the stupid controls, who is this game for anyway?
Did you know that the witch-woman Jenka once had a brother?His name was Ballos.Like his sister, he wielded powers far beyond those of mortals...
>>740650653Me
>>740650574Yeah that sounds about right.
>>740643153
>>740650574skill issue
>>740643153Not that much. Something like Rabi-Ribi on BEX is a million times harder than Cave Story. Takes nothing away from how enjoyable the experience is, though.
>>740648816People have already forgotten about the Cave Story rap...
new patch dropped today, what changed?
>>740652326nta but I relistened to that yesterday, Waterways is so good
I should do a 3hp run
>>740644607Same. With the post hit invincibility, you can just face tank the entire last phase and kill him in like 5 seconds
>>740653582I wish i had the will
I abused the bugged sword to beat him...Forgive me, Pixel, I just wanted the good ending...
>>740643153>>740643225Finally beating that guy felt so satisfying. I'm still unsure if making you retraverse hell every time is bullshit or not, but I can't deny that by the end of it I felt like a speedrunner going through that shit
>>740649040Pics like this are just laughable. Fetishfags are unhinged.
>>740648918Is dope regardless
kek and some tranny told me this looked like maplestory.
>>740657298xhe was right and based
>>740648918The only thing it has that's arguably better is the boss fights. Cave Story is better on every other aspect.
>>740643225>Beat it>A bug means the achievement on the Steam version doesn't unlockWell fuck you, I beat it anyway after a whole afternoon of retrying.
>>740643153I think I burned all my gamer juice on beating this as a kid because I've been dogshit at video games ever since
Never made it past that fucking crumbling hallway
>>740648918I regret ignoring this one for almost a decade. Bought it last year and loved it from beginning to to end.
>>740643153>41 healthyou didn't beat the game
I've never beaten the final phase without the exploit where you jump in his eye and spam
>>740658165Kero Blaster has better music and better gameplay, the only thing Cave Story does better is having meandering level design and worthless cookie cutter dialogue. It was pretty good for 2004 though
>>740659909Everything you said is incorrect.
>>740643153I will always be in awe of this game's soundtrack. Such a unique sound. So many different tracks that all hit the right spot. Love the overall melancholic and sort of nostalgic sound to most of the music, especially the non-battle ones.
>>740660190wrong
>>740659909>better musicMaybe is a vacuum but Cave Story's music is way better at fitting their respective locales and brings out a better mood to the game.>better gameplayIt's the exact same thing except frog is slower. CS is still better because you have more control over Quote.>meandering level design and worthless cookie cutter dialogueThese are just cynical and reductive arguments, you can say this of any game really, I could also say the between level dialogue in Kero Blaster is "worthless cookie cutter dialogue", like wow, the boss is all pissed off and inflating, very important informations thanks.
>>740648918I almost beat this on Hard with no continues but I choked when the boss had one hit left. Haven't played it since.
>>740644754now what
>>740660516the short cutscenes give context to the game and it's over in 5 seconds, meanwhile in cave story reading these 1 dimensional characters go on and on takes up a significant portion of the gamealso kero blaster has cooler weapons and funner enemies
>>740660821touch your ballos
>Have a Hard Mode file sitting at the entrance to Hell>Know full well that attempting to finish the run will kill me via stressI was expecting the struggle but Jesus fuck, man.
>>740660928if you take your time and avoid the angels it's not that hardor you can farm hearts at the midway miniboss
Too much went right for a free game.
>>740660843They really don't go on for that long my guy, and they also give context to the game, naturally they'll take slightly longer because there's a lot more worldbuilding in CS. Meanwhile KB's dialogue is mainly just "wow the boss sure is angry, anyway your next level is X".Also I see my other points were correct since you gave no response to them.>also kero blaster has cooler weapons and funner enemiesDebatable, it lacks a sperm-shooting ghost cat that's for sure.
>>740658243try again, they fixed it a few years ago>got all achievements in cs+ 8-9 years ago>show it off>/v/ spits me out and calls me a pleb for playing on cs+fuck you i literally played the freeware version first and i wanted more so i got cave story+and fuck nicalis
>>740661089The only point I didn't address was the one about the music. And all I can say about that is there's way more tunes from Kero Blaster stuck in my head than ones from Cave Story (On to Grasstown and Toroko's Theme are the only ones that have really stuck with me over the years)
I play it in doukutsu-rs sourceport because it lets you uncap the framerate while keeping the original's physics speed (you can switch to CS+'s shitty fast-motion physics if you want to though)
Why did they decide to patch the game after 15 years?
I got the coward ending and never touched the game again. It was fun.
>>740660843Maybe nostalgia speaking, but i think the cavestory characters are quite charming, even if simple, like balrog. Never played kero blaster but if its anything like cavestory ill boot it up
>>740660928How did you even get that far damn anon
>>740650574you didn't beat it
>>740643225I beat this as a lad. I wonder if I still have the reflexes to do it today?
>>740661401Knowing Nicalis, a newly hired intern did it, because they are so incredibly incompetent otherwise(it was also a newhire that fixed the broken achievement. It was a literal 2 minutes to fix).
>>740648918The omake or hard mode or whatever is shockingly difficult near the end
>>740662215That was the best part of the game. I was expecting it to just be the same shit but harder but it was actually whole new levels
>>740658243It counts.You don't need a cheevo for it, the game was around before it anyway.
>>740658243It didn't matter even before it was fixed because there's also a separate "Defeat Ballos" achievement that's basically the same thing as the broken one.
>>740661296>Grasstownuhm sorry sweaty it's actually called the Bushlands
>>740662109My girlfriend refuses to get the last fixed achievement because her CS+ achievements spell ASS on her profile and getting one more would ruin it
>>740663229kek based
>>740663229Your girlfriend got S ranks? Damn she's pretry good.
>>740658243>Achievement I hate niggers like you. I had the original free version, played so many times the last stage I can hear the music just looking at the pic. The only achievement I care was the fact I beated this fat asshole, not a message in a screen telling you "who is a good gamer? You, yes you are".
>>740648918Truth nuclear bomb.
>>740663353She also got all the Kero Blaster ones, even the zangyou and omake hitless ones. Meanwhile I just played through it once lol
>>740650013did it. played curly story too.
>>740658165the entire farm segment keeps me from replaying the game.
>>740650574Iunno why you would embarrass yourself like this.
>>740664321it's an anonymous image board my dude if you get embarrassed you can just spin 180 degrees and moonwalk away from the screen
>>740650739Kino
>>740664448I'm not embarrassed, I beat the game as a kid.As a kid, anon.
>>740643153>>740650013>me realizing i never even knew that the game had this shitjesus christ, i truly didn't beat the game, huh
>>740653582I did it, it's not fun
>>740664671>not seeing the weak ending and then googling "Cave story secrets"
>>740648918True, but that's mostly because Pixel worked with an actual level designer instead of trying to do it himself, which is why there's no dumb bullshit like Sand Zone.
>>740650739I don't know why, but I think that the line break/pause between the first and second line is the most powerful part of this.
>>740643153I was about to give up when I checked a walkthrough and copied the cheese strat for the final phase where you jump on the corner of his head and unload all your rockets directly into him. Not sure how many people actually beat him without the cheese
>>740663229Fuck off normalfag
>>740667048>le thought terminating clicheyou're more of a normgroid than he is tbdesu
>>740645509>are those two segments below his lip with the black dots supposed to be his pecs?Now I can't unsee the holes
>>740667048Veteran 2012 newfag
>>740667753How is calling him a normalfaggot for bragging about his gf on a mongolian basket-weaving forum "thought terminating"?
>>740664776I get that anon. happened to me twice.played Cave Story, loved the bittersweet ending, and years later I find out that there's a full 2nd act to the game.also happened to me with portal. thought the "you are the cake" ending was just the joke the whole game was building up to, and that was it. desu, it's not like the parts after the testing chambers are really memorable, though
>>740643225I never attempted it. I’ve never even watched the true ending.
>>740668021because you ignored his entire post and just called him a normie because golly that's just how us edgy 4channers always act and you're trying to fit in with the cool kids because you're a dipshit ledditor (and if you're not you certainly would fit in around there)
>>740668425That's alot of projection for one post.
>>740668021It's not bragging though, it's just who did it? If it was my brother that did that I'd say it's my brother.
>>740668569you're supposed to pretend to be a forever alone edgy chudcel like all us cool epic Anons on the 4chans
