My two:
Very cliché, I played Ocarina of Time a ton as a child, have memories of playing it both on N64 as a wee child and on game cube as a less small child. Never got past water temple even with the game guide.
Yu-Gi-Oh forbidden memories. Played the crap out of that game on play station, constantly playing on free play praying for the cards I would need to get further. I was never able to beat more than 1-2 of the high mages. Watching speed runs on the game it turns out I was never ever going to beat that game as a kid. The final 6 are just disgustingly brutal.
Woah man that’s impressive. I’ve played through the HD campaigns (their DE versions) and currently am doing the DE campaigns. Everything on standard. I want to do it all on hard but I don’t like losing so hard lol
I remember the 5 ships mission. I beat it by blocking the first ship in the starting area with my own ships, so it would never reach the destination. I then slowly constructed a base and defeated all enemies before eventually letting that first ship cross. I never thought about saving between each shipment lol. Would have helped me beat it the “right” way.
Maybe I should shift to hard difficulty. But based on what you say it seems like a lot of pain will be waiting for me that way
If I had thought of your method, I would have done that.
The save scumming method was painful. That mission broke me… and is also what I suggest to people do as a joke to mess with people.
