So Prince of Persia sounds like a Ubisoft game/ Official EB POP thread

[WrikaWrek]

Love the suckas who like hard games but don't finish hard games.

What was the last hard game you finished Himuro?

[demi]

CALL OF DUTY 5 ON VETERAN

[Eel O'Brian]

Love the suckas who like hard games but don't finish hard games.

What was the last hard game you finished Himuro?

probably ninja gaiden 2. or FF4 remake, but who knows if that classifies as hard? I still need to beat Bangai-O Spirits but that game has soooo many stages.

what was the last hard game you beat?

[demi]

Ninja Gaiden 2? On what, Warrior? Sorry, doesnt count. At ALL

[Himu]

Yeah, I agree. But the higher difficulties are ridiculous, as has been said in NG2 threads. but comared to everything else out there these days, it's hard. I mean, the fact that lots of people complain it's fucking hard but I didn't it find it THAT bad really makes me go

[demi]

he said "hard" not "fucking ridiculous"

Bionic Commando Rearmed Elite Commando

[Eel O'Brian]

i play all my games on easy or normal

i have to, or i'd never finish a game

[Himu]

WOW

demi

best gamer on evilbore confirmed

[Eel O'Brian]

it's either him or FatalT

they're always playing something whenever i go on live or steam

[demi]

The Mirror's Edge trials/speedruns are pretty hard, but more aggrivating than difficult

[Himu]

I did a one credit run through of Espgaluda at work a little while back.  That is like taking most hard games and swallowing them and shitting out just the concentrated hard bits.

I can one credit G-darius and darius gaiden which probably isn't so hot, but I can one credit them!

Espgaluda is tough? How tough?

[dammitmattt]

I can barely beat Contra...with the Konami code.

[Eel O'Brian]

i used to be able to flip a few atari games when i was a kid

Ninja Gaiden 1, Ninja Gaiden 2 was easier but i wasn't feeling, went up to the Moscow level then left, was bored by it.

And wtf at JRPGs, ugh i'm not talking about level grinders, fuck that shit, worst games in existence.

But I play jrpgs at low level. bubububut level grinding

smh

NG2 easier than NG1? eh? i think NG1 is fucking easy tbqh. Then again, it's easy NOW but when I first played it was semi-difficult.

[Himu]

Every gamer should be forced to master at least one evo character before commenting on games.

Master as in finish every arcade in the quest mode?

Espgaluda is tough? How tough?

Tough.  Not impossible Raizing games tough, but fucking tough.  Once you grok the scoring system (which is OMFG) the game gets a little easier.

what's great about the scoring system

[Himu]

My Apple Pai will decimate you.

Not really  :'(

What are our chances of getting the new VF5?  On consoles.

who do you use cohen?

[WrikaWrek]

If Ninja Gaiden was easy for you...then damn.

I guess, you are a really hardcore gamer.

[Himu]

[Don Flamenco]

NG1 has a more "genuine" difficulty than 2 at higher difficulties.  Spamming incendiary shurikens is not the good kind of difficulty that comes from good AI.  Also skill in most hardcore action games involves finding the strategies and moves that are the safest-- in NG2 finding those techniques and moves practically breaks the game.  They would do the same on harder difficulties, but as I said, it's hard to pull anything when IS are constantly sticking in you with no chance to dodge.

anyway, wrika, it's not just about a game being hard, it's any kind of challenge.  SOTN is not hard, but finding out how to progress is challenging. NG2 on warrior isn't hard, but you still need a certain level of skill to get by. 

[Mr. Gundam]

Ninja Gaiden (Xbox) was awesome, but really easy. I never understood all the butthurt moaning about the difficulty level.

[Himu]

the hardest genres for me:

2d shooters and rhythm games

I mean, I'm good at the non-peripheral rhythm games, but the peripheral ones wow. Some of the dudes that play those are godly.

Patel

I found NG2 harder than NG1 overall because I had to use exploits and a full arsenal of moves plus ninpo in order to survive. In NG1 I used ninpo like maybe 2 times.

[cool breeze]

Shinobi on PS2 was easy

and I'm curious to see what they mean when they say automatic platforming.  If it's similar to Sands of Time in that you always knew where to jump and all that, then I don't see what's so bad about that.  Do they just mean it's really obvious then? like you won't be making leaps of faith?

Tough.  Not impossible Raizing games tough, but fucking tough.  Once you grok the scoring system (which is OMFG) the game gets a little easier.

what's great about the scoring system

The scoring system rewards you for building up bullets onscreen and then destroying their spawner.  So you build up crystals (or some such) and wait until the screen is at max and go into secondary fire more.  Once the spawner is killed in this mode it's bullets turn into points.  It runs so smooth once you get into it.

Ninja Gaiden is easy

this sounds balls against the wall

need swap magic lol

[Himu]

Shinobi on PS2 was easy

have you beaten the final boss?

A lot of the 3d games people I know say are hard (DMC, Jet Set Radio, ninja gaiden;etc etc) are really easy for me. I guess I wouldn't say easy, because there are moments where I'm like "heh how do I get past this?" but they aren't HARD either. I guess they're more in the middle? But these days, these kind of games ARE refreshing because most games now ARE easy.

However, 2d games can be a struggle for me. I think 2d games overall are just so much more difficult compared to 3d games.

[Don Flamenco]

Ninja Gaiden (Xbox) was awesome, but really easy. I never understood all the butthurt moaning about the difficulty level.

Some people found normal mode hard all the way through, most people found that it just had a steep learning curve at the beginning.  The game gets easier as you progress- it forces you to be good. 

on the other hand, Very Hard and Master Ninja are tough as nails.  Those first few chapters are disgusting until you get the izuna drop and powered up weapons.

and I'm curious to see what they mean when they say automatic platforming.  If it's similar to Sands of Time in that you always knew where to jump and all that, then I don't see what's so bad about that.  Do they just mean it's really obvious then? like you won't be making leaps of faith?

if you miss a jump, the girl saves you. basically, no consequences for falling.

[WrikaWrek]

Lol 2d games, get out of the basement suckas

Anyway, kidding aside, yeah, i don't play games for that. If i want to learn a skill i'll learn a real skill.

And shadow of Colossus was not challenging. It just made sense.

Yeah, Shinobi wasn't hard.  God Hand is also easy.

btw, when I say they are easy I mean I got good at the games and they became easy which is a great goal to strive for rather than having flawed mechanics and frustration.

Yeah, the learning curve in NG1 was greaaaat. It was great because those fucking incendiary shuriken ninjas would fuck own you left and right until you figured out a way to defuse their shit. I loved that. The game wasn't hard as balls or anything, but the learning curve was really memorable to me.

But she doesn't take you right back to where you fell each time.  She basically acts as a glorified (and much faster) checkpoint system, and I'm completely fine with that.

It sounds MUCH better than the Too Human method.

Back off-topic, the only games that are generally regarded as sort of difficult that were easy for me were Maximo 1/2.  The combat and platforming were so rock-solid and everything just made sense, just like Ninja Gaiden does for some of you.

Also, I don't think Gears is that difficult and I managed to beat both games by myself on Hardcore (working through Insanity now, which seems much tougher than Gears 1 ever got, particularly during the turret sections).

[Himu]

Lol 2d games, get out of the basement suckas

Anyway, kidding aside, yeah, i don't play games for that. If i want to learn a skill i'll learn a real skill.

What counts as a real skill?

[WrikaWrek]

Yes, let's start with hard shit early on. Very intelligent game design.

smh

It should be about using your brain bitches, not how fast or skilled you are with a piece of shit controller.

Something you can use outside of a fucking videogame. If i really want to "master" some shit, i'll master some musical instrument, i'll master a sport, etc

You know, shit that actually matters. Who gives a rats ass if you can finish Metal Slug in 40 min.

[Himu]

Anyways, I don't see much of problem when it comes to PoP. PoP SOT wasn't that hard, and I had a blast with it. So long as these features don't border on ridiculous, it could be a good game.

lol  @ "master real skills."  I'm assuming you're sitting on a forum arguing with the rest of us losers because you've already run half a marathon, conducted an orchestra, built a house, and painted a masterpiece this morning?   

c'mon...anyway, as I suspected, it seems like you have a similar conception of "challenge" (a game that takes some figuring out, then makes you apply what you've learned) but for some reason you don't equate it with skill.

You assume wrong.

I don't want to master any skills, because i'm lazy as shit, so i won't start with games.

[Tieno]

WrikaWrek, go buy a Wii.

[WrikaWrek]

[cool breeze]

I really hope this game isn't another Infinite Undiscovery situation where I banked on IU/PoP when I should have on ToV/TRU.

[WrikaWrek]

Whatever y2, all you suckas know i'm right.

About whatever.

Dude...just dude.

Game looks absolutely phenominal. I thought it looked great in pics and vids, but it didn't hit me until it was on my flat sceen. Combat is much improved too. You also get an achievement just for starting the game.
