>game has few or no points of no return
>you can level the shit out of your character/party, go collect the best equipment, turn around, go back to the starting area and beat up the faggot who called you weak at the start of the game
this is a great feeling

>have the fully restart the level, which took like 3 hours for some reason for me
I know it doesn't really count and I may just be bad at video games but it really fucking pissed me off, especially when every other level before that allowed me to backtrack, along with the entirety of the fucking DOOM franchise, every level let you fuck around after killing everything and getting to the end to find all the collectables.

That surely doesnt completely defeat the purpose of that am i right?

Why do so many pictures of cats being sad exist on the internet?

Because cats are cute.

>game doesn't let you start over and do things the right way

They’re very expressive animals, and also meme status.

Fucking Dark Dawn

>game has permanently missable upgrades
>in a game without points of no return
Fuck you Minish Cap. I'm still assmad about the Light Arrows to this day. Why have permanently missable upgrades in a fucking Zelda game?

Cats have clairvoyance and seen whats going to happen to all of us.

>game gives you rewards that can be used in a new game+
>you can't increase the difficulty of new game+

>last save is 10 hours ago

This. Open world sandboxes can be extremely disheartening in this regard. Zero sense of purpose to be there.

>game has a stoner doom soundtrack

Fuck me I hate this so much

Happened to me yesterday while playing Quake 2 expansion, hod to turn godmode on for a few seconds or lose hours of progress. Felt really bad about turning godmode on to survive that hit, I still feel like a cheater.

I too have just played Nier Gestalt.

>Collectible before point of no return

>get horrible anxiety
>stop playing the game and do something completely linear like a VN instead so I don't have to worry

>VN has a split where one option gives you an extra CG while another option gives you more affection points

God, even knowing I had more endings to do the first time I got to Shadowlord’s Castle in NieR was painful for this exact reason

Sounds like mafia ii. So much wasted potential.
New Vegas. Inb4 babbies.

Wombo Combo my dude.

Is this Gothic 3 or Two Worlds 2?

and that is why Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition is the best game

>you have to pixel hunt for certain items

Light arrow wasn't the only thing. I share your pain.

Just like real life

You didn't take time out of your busy quest to help an ailing man. Some "hero".

>game bugs so you can't progress

>Game has a point of no return
>Get your ass reamed by the boss on the other side so have to reload a save and fix your setup, then go through it again

Fucking anor londo

Man Dragon's dogma had this issue real bad which wasnt helped due to its piss poor save system

>boss dismisses british tanks

...

The only time this bullshit is acceptable is when it lets you know ahead of time, so you can go back before letting it ruin your 100%.

What game is this?

just looked up the vid, thats fucking hilarious

Delet tis

>point of no return
>have to beat 2 bosses in a row
>both have annoying armor shit

Crash twinsanity for me, i missed the first gem and you can't get it back.

>Boer camps are a myth
>but I wish they weren't

...

Listen here, you'd better delete this. Right now.

witnessed

I don't play games because they are like real life, I play them to escape my suffering

There is no point o no return in anor londo, you can go back by the bat deamon
