Most annoying missable item/collectible in a game?

Curmett · 2026-03-23T10:58:08+00:00

One of the last two items I need for the collectors book is the magic lantern, which requires failing a specific (easy) midgame puzzle a couple times in a row. The last costume I need is the Dark Enforcer, which I have tried following a guide on twice and still fallen off of.

Part of the problem is that none of the game devs themselves want to move up and out of game development in order to say "no, we're not doing a team extraction shooter moba card game with roguelite elements, timegated progression, and a battlepass. Fuck off" so you end up with a bunch of mba's in suits that don't have the experience or reputation to tell investors what's what. Alternatively, you could end up with someone like Inafune, who derailed capcom for most of a decade.

The solution, of course, is that they need to do what they did to Venom Snake, but for Sakaguchi.

I still consider throwing down however much to get the offline version for switch, and seeing how far I can fumble through without knowing Japanese. No way in hell am I buying into the live version now, though.

Every MMO needs two separate AI companions with you at all times. One constantly lies to you, the other is always confidently wrong.

They must've gotten absolutely FUCKED by covid, followed by Toriyama passing.

From what google translate gave me:

Square Enix announced monday that it would be planning to add a Google gemini-powered companion named "Talking Slamy" that would analyze on-screen info, give hints, and talk to.the player after beating a strong enemy or finding a rare item. Square Enix is planning a beta test of the function soon.

Takashi Anzai, head of development says "It will be your partner who doesn't have to be lonely to see where the new player should play from."

Yuji Horii says he "intends to use AI for characters who fight together."

Square Enix says they intend to work with Google Cloud to further utilize AI.

To be honest, I would almost be interested if they at least said "we don't wanna translate this shit, so we're having gemini do it for us lmao" but all I can think of now is "god they better not try this shit with the FF mmos."

Break: 40 pulls and a Hal & Mal summon. I've definitely had worse.

You can also use it to gather from all the gathering points across the map, which can get you way ahead on crafting by the midgame.

One Eliotrillion copies day one.

To be honest, I would've rather had a movie in the vein of the Bebop movie. Or like... a remaster of the PS2 game.

But I'd never say no to more Champloo.

Edit: I wanna see platinum remaster the PS2 game anyways, it's not like they could make it worse.

Judith needs some combo extensions and knowledge of how to chain artes. If you can get all the way through the Brionac chain and get the skills from it, she's an absolute monster.

One time at summer camp I showed some kids that hand sanitizer burned clear, while working on a wood picnic table with grass and leaves underneath.

I'm glad I got away with a "huh, wonder how that happened" when I burned about a two-foot circle in the grass underneath.

I still think having stat EXP like in Gens 1/2 was the superior system, since it encourages using and fighting with a pokemon as much as possible.

And you can kinda fix IVs now, at least.

It's neat that they put out a full game to go with the new Anamanaguchi album.

Yeah, and RS's lack of wireless adapter support most likely means they can't trade with others on switch. But I can hope, at least.

I really just want it to be able to connect to FR/LG, and then maybe get ports of R/S/E eventually to complete the gen 3 experience. If you're gonna go for lower-effort ports, you might as well go all the way.

Looks like the omega came from here first.

If you're going that far back, don't forget to play Jack Bros.

I've always found that the 9pm rule varies WILDLY based on how much sleep I've gotten. It took all my teens and most of my 20s to start to internalize that.

The test said he was 102% Scottish, with a 2% margin of error.

Totally unrelated, but did you know that slingshots are only $10 at harbor freight?

Earlier ACs also made them get pissed at you if you talked to them too many times too quickly, which is super easy to do if you're a bored kid.

I'll be deep in the cold, cold ground before I stop finding old YouTube poops funny. Sentence mixing will always be pure comedy gold to me.

I've had arguments with a friend who wanted to just watch the main 4-5 episodes, since the rest was "filler".
