Castlevania timerThis shit turns men into women who play old video games real fast
>>12607796Timers are only a sin when there is just barely enough time to complete a stage. See Castlevania Chronicles because it's a shit port made by an incompetent producer (Iga), or the final stage of Ninja Gaiden 3
>No save point>The entire game is just in arcade-style that you start from the very beginning every time you turn on the machine
>>12607817The concept of arcade-style games is not a gaming sin, what the actual fuck is wrong with you?
>>12607880>spend 2.5 hours getting through a game>can't save progress lolit's demotivating. all the best games have save functions, or at least pass codes
>>12607898so do better next time
>>12607905not an argument
>>12607880it isbeing old doesn't make it good
>>12607923Being good is what makes it good.
>>12607787>scroll to the bottom in menu>press down one more time>it doesn't move the cursor to the top
>>12607909i'm not arguing, i'm commanding
>>12607898Guess you don't like the game then if you cringe at having to replay it.
>platformer>It has no real platforming stakes and most of the difficulty is traversing a badly designed maze
>>12607803>the final stage of Ninja Gaiden 3If you die right at the beggining the game gives you more time. At least in the japanese version.>>12607787Passwords only save your progress, so you have to grind lives, money and ammo from scratch.
>>12607787>Enemies level up as you do.I hate that shit like you wouldn't believe.
>>12608724What's the point of getting stronger if I can't go back and one shot bosses I struggled with?
>>12608724It depends.>They unlock new abilities that change how you have to encounter them, preferably centered around your own upgradesBased>They just get stat upgrades that basically nullify your ownLame and gay
>>12608724Skyrim figured out how to do this right with the min-max enemy level. Too bad no other game copied them.
>>12607796In Super Castlevania 4, Dracula's death and picking up the orb takes about 20 seconds, but the timer keeps running when he's dead.
>survival horror game that keeps track of time played, and where time played affects your ending rank>it counts the time you've left the game paused
>>12607787>new game set in last games world >everything has gone to complete shit >bonus points: last protagonist died like a bitch
>>12607787>Boss is vulnerable only for a very short time>It has as much HP as any other boss, making the fight last forever.
>>12608724Scaling enemy strength is always cancer. The way to do it right is have enemies get progressively stronger through the game but incentivize you to go back to old areas by letting low level enemies drop items that are crucial but not dropped by stronger enemies, and/or adding new enemies to old areas.
>Unlock fighting game's final boss>Is heavily watered down
>>12607787>"platforming level design" is basically just small, thin islands you have to precision jump onto. Oh and to make things even better, we have a constant barrage of shit being thrown at you and if you get hit you get sucked into the nearest instant death hole. Meaning you get sent forward even if you get hit from the front.Every developer who did this shit is a stupid nigger who deserved to lose their jobs. I am looking at you Konami.
>Writing down password>The game's font is so shitty that you can't tell between l and i, O and 0 or S and 5
>>12610653What would be even better is if the final boss character isn't watered down but is just extremely hard to play.
