My helicopter level was in Ninja Gaiden. Used all my healing stuff before it and couldn’t beat it. Never picked it back up.
those barrel mini games in Donkey Kong 64
Misty in Pokémon Blue
It’d be easily fixed with a new save, a more balanced approach, and four hours… but fuck that, I’ve spent two summers grinding to beat her but nope
Just go catch a Pikachu. Won’t take 4 hours.
This is why I roll bulbasaur.
Wipe both Brock and misty out.
Magic. I’ll give that a punt this summer! Thank you!
That’s not a bad plan, but it will require a new save. Once you enter Cerulean City, all the ways back to Viridian are blocked until after you beat Misty.
If you want to beat Misty without starting a new save, your best bet is probably to go north of Nugget Bridge and catch a Bellsprout. That should be about as effective as a Pikachu against Misty. If anything it might even be slightly better. Grass and Electric attacks are both 2x against Water types, but Water attacks are ½x against Grass types and 1x against Electric types.
I forgot Bellsprout had vine whip early and you couldn’t go back. Oddish on red with absorb by comparison is a monumental pain in the ass. Absorb sucks. At least Pikachu is fast with thunderwave and can help you catch an Abra for your I win button.
Thank you 😊
1 health, but ya made it.
I was golden. I even had the Bellsprout ready to go. The targetted levelling of that and the Pikachu made short work of Misty.
I’m not a Pokémon expert - my introduction was Pokémon Go - and I’ve soon learned that type effectiveness outweighs brute force and ignorance!
That was the final level.
The objective of the game was to return your frogs to the deep river, it really was just a reimagining of frogger.
The sister bullshit fight in fallen order.
Or, all the fights actually
I wanted a hybrid easy mode for that game so bad. One hit Stormtrooper kills but smarter enemies than vanilla easy mode.
I HATE sequel lightsabers being just glowing baseball bats.
By “helicopter level” I assume you mean the RC helicopter in GTA: Vice City.
There RC plane was even worse
Funny, for me it was the RC Plane Level in GTASA.
I immediately thought of Crysis.
NES TMNT swimming bomb defusing level. Aaaaaaaaaahhh!!!
The electric shock sound when you touch the sea weed will forever be a trigger for me.
I just learned that the intent for that level is to pause the game and switch which turtle you’re playing because they get a full health bar when you do.
🤯
I can’t think of a specific example, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it involved an escort mission.
The Trial of Tassadar
Every once in a while I decide to replay StarCraft. I always breeze through the Terran and Zerg campaigns and the first few Protoss levels. Homeland is a struggle but I can get through it. I can never seem to beat The Trial of Tassadar though. I always get destroyed before I can even venture out of my base.
More carriers
On a rail
I’m so glad Black Mesa truncated that section
I mean it’s manageable, the HECU fights are always fun for me, especially with explosives. And you can just ditch the train and bhop all the way.
Now Xen+Interloper on the other hand…
Jackal snipers…
San Andreas when you have to chase the train on a dirt bike.
Shaka when the walls fell
One you learn that you just have to stay a certain distance rather than trying to race it. It’s fine. You just find that sweet spot where smoke is constantly shooting and you’re good
All we had to do was follow the damn train!
we don’t go to ravenholm.
nah but the level is sick tho.
Excellent horror level, with great resource starvation that forces you to use the gravity gun. Also introduces the poison headcrabs I think? Either way, uses them really really well. Like that part at the end where they’re all creeping around an abandoned mine? 👨🍳
Deathstroke fight on Batman: Arkham Origins
It was certainly much better than the Deathstroke fight in Arkham Knight…
Maybe that was the one I was thinking of? It’s been a while. The button repetition with insta-kill just stopped the game dead.
I know what everybody is thinking: 50 Cent Blood on the Sand, but that’s a misconception, you actually mean 50 Cent Bulletproof–the one other, and less perfect, of the 2 games that exist
I was thinking earthworm jim bro.
Blood under the Sand
