This. Us millennials used to have our mommas bring us food and sweets while we waited for games to continue.

First time my millennial ass went off to actually beat this game, I just went and made myself a lunch sandwich.
Cheese, ham, lettuce, and some mustard, and some fresh black pepper, between two slices of toast.

Another thing in the game that you have to wait three minutes for (delivery of) is the Large Pizza. Why in the hell would you do this? The Large Pizza has one VERY GOOD application in the game. It's the only healing item in the game (not talking about magic here, HP recovery items) that works simultaneously on all party members, even though its effect is programmed to be worthless for Poo. So why bother getting one, or two? TO EASILY PASS THROUGH THE NOTORIOUS FOURSIDE DEPARTMENT STORE SEQUENCE, WITH THOSE GOD-DAMN SCALDING HOT COFFEE CUPS that make everyone seethe. Large Pizzas Just Make The Healing Happen Fast, and they're quite effective on both Ness and Jeff, western characters.

I did a minimum exp run once. Titanic Ant is virtually impossible without grinding.

Dungeon Man was fucking kino

You might need to grind a bit if it's your first time playing the game.

Anyone remember that lord of the rings gbc game where some guy gives you a password, then 5 hours later another guy asks you for it and you're softlocked if you didn't write it down earlier?
>>
>>12686559
The game is so full of goofy shit I kept expecting a text box to say something like, "do you really think I have time to waste waiting to open this door?" Or "I lost count, ill just let you in, don't tell the boss."
>>
>>12686102
I had an autistic obsession with authenticity when emulating this game in the mid 2000s so even though I could have fast forwarded through this part I just let the game run while I went and made a pop tart

If there are 2 (two) undeniable flaws of this game, flaw #1 would be the photographer guy popping up every two steps during the second half (it's extremely predictable what the photos are gonna be used for so it wasn't even a cool twist to begin with), and flaw #2 would be your dad pestering you to take a break and taking you out of the game. The second one especially, why the fuck would they put that in the game? He doesn't even show up after an abnormal amount of playtime. Earthbound is my favorite game of all time but both of these features sucked ass.
>>
>>12687642
EarthBound has a lot of problems. The ten second interruptions from your dad every two hours are not chief among them.

>>12687658
>vagueposting
Depends on if you're referring to an actual issue or just some part that filtered you. The inventory system is not an issue.

Well I mean, if it is your favourite game, you should try thinking about it on a level beyond just mere experience. Like for your second complaint, they're doing it that way for a reason, y'know. I know it's annoying but it's not just arbitrary, think about it.
>>
>>12687642
You're probably the type of person who doesn't even talk to all the NPCs. Mother isn't about getting through shit as fast as possible. Your dad calling you is funny, take your adderall.
>>
>>12687914
>>12688102
Lol don't be ridiculous. There's a limit to how far you can justify something as a creative choice. Your dad is supposed to encourage you on your journey, not stop you dead in your tracks and break the fourth wall to tell you to put the game down. That's a bit too much.

no cap! those millennials were of no help, I had to make a youtube search all by myself! I cooked fr

Wasn't this a reference to Takeshi's Challenge?
Anyway, I bet most of you complaining about having to wait 3 minutes once will gladly sit through endless company logo screens and long loading times in modern games, hours upon hours of cumulative loading. You don't bat an eye.
