I don't think that's it, also take note of the example I provided. I think it has "paradox" at the end of it, but I can't remember for the life of me. I still appreciate the effort.

It's kino when the dialogue/cutscene acknowledges that you won.

It's more like Story/Gameplay segregation

whew I love linear storytelling for what will ultimately be garbage stories with forgettable character anyway
I mean you could've had a background timer to determine if the first encounter would result in death or a retreat, and then replaced the second encounter with an alternate route and unique boss, and then done that a dozen times along with other minor alterations to create a game with genuine replay value, but that'd be work, right?
Can't have vidya game developers doing work outside of slaving twenty-five hours a day on VFX animations and lighting. God forbid video games be video games. When the fuck is some ass backwards developer going to hire Roger Deakins I wonder? I'd put my
money on Kojimbo.
Can't wait to see Geoff Keighley announce the award for Best Cinematography.

The only reason Dragon's Dogma's hard mode wasn't 200% shite was the money/exp inflation.
I don't know why games think having less access to gameplay mechanics is somehow equivalent to difficulty. It just makes the goddamn thing more tedious and less fun, while also increasing time spent on loading screens.
If difficulty has to be related to gimping the player, instead of improving the enemy A.I. (as a base, among other things) then you know you're dealing with a developer who has clearly lost the plot.

This is exactly why I play games on normal now. If the mechanics are good and the difficulty actually changes shit, then I'll play on a harder difficulty, but it almost never does, so why waste my time? Why spend an extra 5-10 seconds repeating the same attack pattern you know is going to beat the enemy on every enemy you encounter just because clicking "HARD MODE" gave them a 10% boost to HP and nothing else? Shit's boring.

STALKER games had a good hard mode, everything has less health and did more damage including the enemies and you.

Right off the the top of my head Sekiro is the latest game I've played that's done it, you can beat an early fight most people are expected to lose and the cutscene has the boss pull some bullshit on you to have it turn out that you lose anyway.

What game? Sounds fun.

You should see the length Japanese gamers went to defeat a boss in Dragon Quest 6 (the fight was inside a prison in the other world).

The fight would be ended if the boss made one special attack. People stopped progressing the game to overlevel to be able to defeat the boss and not have him use the move.

Surprise. The cutscene happens as if you had lost.

I swear there is no other way to play DDDA but on hard mode. Goblins dropping 10k money bags is just too good, and the game doesn't even get significantly harder (I can solo daimon and I'm not even at the level cap).

What? In the cutscene you beat him then his buttbuddy sneak attacks you. OP is talking about stuff where you destroy a boss, then the cutscene is you panting and exhausted and them laughing at you for being weak.

Anyone else a horder in all their games? Like I’ll try to keep at least one copy of every item in my inventory/box.

Like if I’m about to die, and I only have one revive item left, I won’t use it. Or if I need to craft something, I’ll try to get at least two copies of the material, so I have one on display.

Final Fantasy 9. This fucking cunt. It's even worse than usual because the game doesn't tell you she's unbeatable and she wasn't a threat to my battle in the slightest so I spent a pretty long while wondering why the fuck the battle wasn't ending. Had to looked the goddamn thing up, and then LET myself lose. Absolute seethed because of it.

In the right circumstance increasing stats on enemies can work too. I always look at DMC as a good example of difficulty done right, it increases enemy health and attack power because it expects the hard mode player to be better at dodging and styling on enemies. It also changes enemy spawns though so it isn't just numbers, so you start seeing vastly different types of enemies spawning in places where they wouldn't have shown up in lower difficulties.

The Mythril Golem in the FF1 re-releases is the only enemy that drops the Dark Claymore. Even if it was inferior to my other weapons for the Knight i just wanted to get one because i had practically everything else

The only time this was kino was back in 2011 fighting Nex on RuneScape. That shit was hype, but also you only ever died to it if you had no supplies and low health.

KH2 did this shit. It's easier to just toss some magic at the boss, since it counts that as a finishing blow apparently.

That shit was hilarious

Yeah I usually do something like that. Example in BotW I won't use an item for cooking / upgrading armor / anything else if then inventory will have 0 of the item afterwards, materials screen has to stay in order of items collected (apple must be first item). Similar example in FF games too but not as strict, otherwise you wouldn't be able to equip weapons/armor when you only have 1 copy of them. And of course won't auto sort inventory either.

It's been in a game recently.
DMC5 makes you challenge a version of the final boss in the prologue, expecting you to get your shit pushed in, but if you beat it the game acknowledges that the day is saved and the story ends before it even really started. Then it unlocks the higher difficulty for you to jump into straight away instead of having to do the usual thing of beating all missions.

Well fuck, that would've been good to know. It took me so long to actually kill some fights when I was just playing Critical the other day. Xemnas was a motherfucker on that, playing PS3 where it was apparently glitched.

How?

I'm not sure, but I had multiple people telling me about it. Apparently something to do with the triangle reversals, I think. There's like a 60% chance you just lose no matter how well you time or how much you spam it at the beginning of the fight, or whenever he uses that move again.
