Xenogears did that

I have a good friend who never played any souls games until I convinced him to buy Dark Souls 3 on release day. He got stuck at Ludex Gundyr (the intro boss) and ragequit after 30 mins. He never touched any souls games since then and we still laugh about his 80$ "investment".

The weird thing is hes better than me in every other games, even when its new for both of us. Cool blog post I know :)

Kinda cheating, but Bravely Second. The game opens with a battle you can't win against the main villain, then halfway through the game, the villain's plan succeeds and your only option is to send your consciousness back in time to the opening battle (which you have to do by exiting the game and starting a new playthrough, which the game labels "new game plus") and defeat the villain with the power you gained in the previous timeline. After that the second half of the game takes place where you keep "predicting" the villain's every move and kicking his ass to kingdom come.

name three games that do this

Devil May Cry 5, though you can technically beat him on your first run if you get good.

Dark Souls 1 gives you a very strong hammer that you won't be able to wield for ages if you manage to poke the asylum demon to death with a sword hilt

Senua

>Game has an unbeatable boss battle
>But you also still need to last arbitrarily long enough to trigger the cutscene of you losing instead of game over.

>Cutscene is still your party getting their ass kicked and losing

anyone have that video where a streamer spends hours trying to beat urizen on his first playthrough even though he doesn't know if it's possible?

Just use fire bombs bro

I thought it was just a chance drop rate.

>its possible to beat him but he rematches until you lose

Absolutely halal. I cannot for the life of me grasp how someone who works as a professional game designer lets something like that make it into the game.

>game starts with an "unbeatable" boss fight
>lose
>game over
>you're actually supposed to win

Anyone know the name of this one pixelated indie game? It's a metroid-vania type game I think and everything in it is very "metal". Catholic imagery, gore, torture devices, ect. I remember vividly the image of a blind folded baby as a boss.

>you become the final boss
>last fight is your previous friends trying to stop you
>kill them all and destroy the world

halal is good retard

>game starts with a child spreading her cunny
why do most games do this?

This is great when done right.

See: Megaman X

Go away Mohammed.

Those things you found in your father's attic are called "VHS's", they are not video games.

Blasphemous i think.

>you can lose or win against the first boss and the game will progress anyway
>they have different dialogue to reflect the outcome of the fight
It was very minor, but kudos to MM7 for doing this.

Ur a gem. Good lad

I am so mad he can be beat in the Remake. I loved the message that you start so weak you can't even scratch him and need your mentor to save you.

And then after powering up you STILL can't beat him, and your mentor dies to beat him. And the worst part is... it's the first boss of the final stages. You have to go in all alone, facing the unknown of what lies ahead.

Truly a masterpiece game

>game starts with an unbeatable boss battle
>characters say that this shit it stupid
>game then obliges and gives you a shit-tier boss instead
>then proceed listening about sexism, racism and other sjw garbage for the rest of the game

i liked this aspect of sekiro though i agree it would've been nice to get some kind of little reward for beating him. a big chunk of XP would've been appropriate.
