Thread 718525398

How was I supposed to know that there is a passage behind that?

>>718525398 (OP)
I miss games like this

This is also impossible to figure out by yourself, you had to know someone who knew about that.

>>718525792
2d metroid is already all about shooting at and bombing random spots until something works

>>718525792
it literally shows you in the games demo if you leave it running

How the FUCK I was supposed to know you had to fight him using the morph ball shenanigans?
Nintendo, come on...

Defend this...
You literally need to have an IQ over 143 to play Nintendo games

>>718525398 (OP)
You weren't. It's a secret.

>>718525792
its probably bait but isn't there a busted glass tube like this a few screens prior? it plants the seed that these can be destroyed

>>718525398 (OP)
You weren't supposed to find out. Most Japanese games hide more than half of their games from players and it's up to us to find those parts. Up until now no one did so however...

>>718527221
It's been a while but I think the most obvious clue is the map not displaying a solid border above and below that room.

>>718526460
FUCK this nigger
this and spider guardian can go eat a bad of dicks

WTF?

>>718525989
The demo only shows that if you have save data post clearing that area.
The real reason you were supposed to figure it out was 4 hints it's breakable. First is you run through this area right after acquiring the power bombs. Second the room you fall into on your way to this tube from the powerbomb upgrade is full of enemies that always drop power bombs. Third you can see on the minimap that you can go above and below the tube somehow. The Fourth and final hint is that you walk right through a busted tube right before running through this one. You've spent probably hours running around prior to this puzzle attacking walls with beams, missiles, and bombs. Everyone would at least try powerbombing the glass once since it's the only thing you haven't done yet.

The only real old video game bad game design was Sonic 3's carnival barrel. Nothing in the game prior or after ever required you to control anything with either the up and down buttons and it is 100% possible to clear the barrel with timed jumping but stupidly difficult.

>>718528183
I know.
It is like some game developer dont even want you to beat their games, what the fuck

>>718525398 (OP)
Doesn't it show you on the dungeon map that there's a room behind there?

>>718527221
There is multiple "seeds" that are planted that make you figure out what you must do. Older games required critical thinking to progress. While current games at best have one minor secret half as obtuse as this tube is.

No one told me I was supposed to jump on him

>>718525398 (OP)
In 1993, I used the guide that was in NMS magazine every time i got stuck.

>>718527221
>>718527732
It's also on a different subarea than the rooms before and after.

>>718525398 (OP)
Funny enough I only know about how to beat the dark world woods dungeon and find its boss thanks to the back of an Applejacks cereal box I made my mom buy

>>718525792
>open map
>see area with tube is open at the top and bottom, implying it's part of a bigger passage.

The map shows it to you

I realized you were supposed to put on the two rings here, but I assumed that the passage would trigger instantly.

>>718530630
That was a neat dungeon. I like the ones that involve the overworld somehow and have multiple entry points rather than just being "go down staircase and come back up it twenty minutes later with a new item and a macguffin".

>>718525398 (OP)
At here I realized that second waterfall lined up with a tunnel I previously saw.

>>718525398 (OP)
The map

>>718525398 (OP)
I really, really hated that moth boss, not just because the ground and spiked blocks were moving but because it's weakness was the fire wand, so if you lost you had to go back and grind enemies to get more mana.
Speaking of which, do you think Alttp would be more fun if you could choose which orders to do dungeons like in Megaman instead of doing them sequentially?

>secret that 99% of players won't find
>the 1% who find it spread it by word of mouth
>one day you hear about it at school and go home to try it
>there is no other way of knowing aside from being told in person or maybe seeing it on a shady looking website (where most of the tips are fake anyway)

Actually half of Elden Ring is still hidden and From Soft refuses to tell players how to get to the "real" game.

>>718525398 (OP)
by reading gaming magazines

>>718525398 (OP)
Going through an entire dungeon only to learn at the very end that I needed the ice rod that I somehow missed out on getting earlier in my playthrough is what made me convinced LttP was dog shit. Zelda 1 on NES fucking rocks but I have no patience for much of LttP and its awful overworld.

>>718531836
Look at them go

you have to pay the psycho tax. i think it's bullshit, because it is.

i get it that this is to be escapism, "you hate society as it is right now, and want to escape to a world where you can be free from them"...

and i get that this is what Bloodborne was going for, with Gherman saying "WE'RE FREE! FREE AS THE WIND!"

i want that moment so bad.

>>718532501
This zone sucks hard even without including this

>>718528183
I'm not seeing a slot to slide the card into ??

>>718532814
Gherman never said that

>>718532960
you little fuck..

he says it here to "The Ailing One" (Not the Good Hunter).

he also speaks in his own themesong in the undiscovered third verse.

>But please, give me an end to my role.

We haven't solved Bloodborne officially yet, but we know more about Bloodborne's other half than the other souls games because the Alpha version literally WAS the other half.

>>718526804
just sit at the title screen if you need a hint so badly

Half of Dark Souls 2 being locked behind a bullshit secret made me hate all Fromsoft games.

>>718533141
Will the unofficial bloodborne sequel have a complete different half or are their worlds connected somehow?

>>718534575
>Will the unofficial bloodborne sequel

I mean, we have literal proof that Gascoigne says "Umbasa" in bloodborne's other half tying it Demon's Souls, so anything is possible.

also dark souls 1

>The Legend that Artorias repelled the Abyss only told half of the story

but what about the other half of the story? DUN DUN DUNN
