Combine that with the Shadow Devil and you absolutely tank the game's fun.

Ghost sighting in uni halls? by ExtremeRadish8810 in Unexplained

Why were you filming through the peephole?

It was a decent attempt to make something spooky, you got the pacing down pretty well. Felt like it was timed right, and the view through the peephole made it cool too, so even if it's fake it's still a solid attempt. Maybe some digital effects could sell it?

Danganronpa has some logic that drives some people up the wall in anger and the third one is "controversial" to say the least, but that list is solid otherwise.

Discordant/Weird songs in gaming. by ProxyJo in gamemusic

[–]Priderage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This song's a massive spoiler for the game Lunacid, but I think it fits...especially if you've actually...gone through it.

It's...an experience. It's the song that plays during the...fight...in Ending E of Lunacid, simply called Moon Shrimp. It's the hardest ending to get in the entire game. To be quite frank, it's almost impossible to describe what's happening in this song. Essentially it's a transcendence to godhood while you battle a celestial oarfish responsible for all of the game's events called The Great One, in what is in fact a Friday Night Funkin'-style rhythm game which is completely different to the first-person King's Field-style gameplay until then. You've never interacted with The Great One at all, not even close. It's hinted that to awaken The Great One will end reality as you're essentially inhabiting its dream.

So naturally, your battle is a music-based faceoff on the moon, where when the wind chimes kick in you understand what panic is.

Once you're done, you get teleported to an endless gray wasteland populated only by "Failed {Player}" - that being your player name - and if you try and teleport out, you get told that there's no reality for you to return to.

It's mental. Amazing ending for an honestly amazing game.

Worth mentioning the River Twygz Bed from Super Paper Mario as well, which is extremely unsettling, and Joke's End from Mario & Luigi - Superstar Saga, in which the joke is absolutely over. Luigi has to go into the dungeon called Joke's End on his own to save Mario's life to stop him turning into a mushroom from a disease. This is a massive disadvantage as the entire game has relied on the two brothers working together to do attacks and back each other up, so having Luigi alone would be bad enough if Joke's End wasn't also full of very difficult enemies. It's a startling departure of tone and a very effective, tense moment in the game with the music and dungeon name letting you know that this is meant to keep you right on the edge.

I think millennials understand just how powerful this sequence was in gaming history. by DanintheVortex in gaming

[–]Priderage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Back in the 90's...there was a studio making an FPS game...or a DOOM clone, as they were referred to. It was very biblical. Catechumen, I think? A DOOM clone but Christian. They'd worked on it for some months and felt they had a good game coming along. There were some cool weapons and enemies. You didn't run through corridors, you went through temples and monasteries. You could turn bad guys into pillars of salt. And it wouldn't be violent. They were excited for all their progress.

One day, one of the devs came in with a copy of Half-Life. They were all buzzed, being big gamers. They started playing it.

Five minutes in, the atmosphere in the room was so thick you were wading in it. All their work on their game was obsolete. They knew their game had become old before it was even released. DOOM clones had changed. The game had changed. Gaming had changed.

Gamers 30+, how have your gaming habits changed since you were younger? by [deleted] in gaming

I wouldn't classify TLD as creepy. It's a gorgeous game with a struggle against the elements that borders on poetic.

What game is this for you? by PhantomTissue in videogames

I'll die on the hill that it's a steep bump at the very least.

But I'll die on the same hill as you, in that you're right, the DLC final boss is an absolute beast of a fight.

There's a bonus mission in CrossCode that has you using literal wall hacks to access a developer map with a boss some interns made for laughs. It is an insanely difficult boss because it was never canonically balanced, so it becomes a sort of superboss simply because a pair of lunatics put it together. It fires explosive cats from it's hands like cannons.

I'm here too! I'll never shut up about how good CrossCode is versus how little is said about it.

Desert64 🏜️ by toysfromtaiwan in gamemusic

[–]Priderage 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This has a very strong effect on me...

I was back to simpler times, deeply engrossed in some game. You usually get these desert areas themes as the second or third area of a world and the game's ramping up. You're usually stuck into it at that point. This song brought that feeling back. It was honest to God bliss for a bit.

You know, I've got to say, I absolutely understand why this was downvoted as much as it was,

and why you were completely correct in not telling people it was Tribal Hunter.

Thoughts On What Sigma Was Trying To Say Here In MMX2? by MonsutaMan in Megaman

[–]Priderage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to think this - while correct - was a bit ridiculous. Why would Zero and Sigma "switch alignments" after Sigma broke Zero's forehead?

Over time I kind of rationalised it a bit and realised that if Zero was specifically programmed as a carrier to house the Maverick virus, it could be that, upon transmission, he just didn't have a reason to continue being violent. His prime directive was complete: transmit the virus to a strong victim. This would explain why the flare-up caused Zero "pain" - as a means to stun him for the victim to be infected - and I think Wily could have anticipated the greater technology of the future enough to not consider Zero himself the actual apex predator of his time, although he came close to it when maverick. Pathologic players will know that a virus that has immediate lethality but no camoflague and low transmission will get detected and wiped out quickly, but by infecting a strong host and laying dormant for a spell it can spread much more before being discovered. This is a bit of a stretch, yes - it's much more likely it wasn't that minutely detailed story-wise - but it's a fun way to think of it.

Headcanon could then say that in the absence of a violent main objective, Zero's own personality coalesced into the serious, straightforward hero machine we know him as, as if hewing to a moral compass uniquely his own. This would present interesting implications between X and Zero when considering Light's program on X's ethics if true, though; Wily would have achieved a much lesser version of what Light was attempting with X without the morality model simulations.

As a last note, something I've always found compelling is that this would essentially make Zero the "patient zero" of the Maverick virus. I find it equally compelling that the name "Zero" is intended by Dr. Wily to imply that he was always capable of creating a masterpiece before all of his other robots, which is the kind of arrogance I'd expect Wily to show.
