@DMBLaan Год назад

Fun Fact - Per Disney's request, the devs of the Lion King game made it SO HARD that players couldn't beat it in one rental period to promote them just buying the game to have the time to finish it.

@ZaliaDarkshade Год назад

Haha jokes on them. I would’ve rage quit and never even considered renting it again let alone buying it. Also, because I’m spiteful, I probably wouldn’t ever get another game by them on my own. Thats what you get for putting profit over quality.

@michaelandreipalon359 Год назад

Eh, still doesn't change my love for Westwood when it comes to Command and Conquer and Blade Runner 1997. Also, in my opinion, the game is more worthwhile nowadays via the collection alongside the Virgin Games and Capcom Aladdin games and that The Jungle Book game.

@Goldenkitten1 Год назад

The latter parts of Aladdin are the same. I would NEVER have seen the end credits of that game without the early internet giving me a long ass code you shove in the title screen to skip to where you want. I didn't play all of the early Disney games but it seems A LOT of them followed the motto of milking you at the rental store until you either gave up or gave in to buying it.

@Vinemaple Год назад

Ahhh. One of THOSE games. The ones Adam never conquered...

@Goldenkitten1 Год назад

@Mr. Tam O' Shanter I'm not sure if this is a "cool story bro" or a legitimate statement. But if it's the latter you're either less casual than you think or it's just one of those "This person happens to be good at _____" moments (for instance mine is Orphan of Kos from Bloodborne, everyone talks about how hard it is. Yet I beat it on my first try while the comparably "easy" Living Failures according to others from the same game and DLC rocked my shit) . I say this because Lion King is NOTORIOUS for being one of the hardest games on the SNES (that was ostensibly for kids) and has had such a reputation as that looooong before this video dropped...like 1990's old reputation. Long story short; if you're being legit you're probably better at video games than you think or are at least very good at platformers.

@mediarare2386 Год назад

What's so confusing about Silph Co. in Pokemon is that it is their actual office layout. Even after you free them from Rocket the president for example still resides on the highest floor. You can take an elevator to that floor to look at his office from the outside but to enter it you still need to navigate through the teleporter maze. Team meetings must be a nightmare.

@MunchKING Год назад

I thought it'd be a lot easier for them, because they had the key cards and could unlock and open the doors.

@marhawkman303 Год назад

@@MunchKING Yeah, this. many of the maze aspects are solely because the player can't open doors. You have to wander around looking for doors that are broken or someone forgot to close. If all the doors were open it'd be boringly easy. The office has a door!... it's just locked when you go there with a key card you don't have.

@WhiteFangofWar Год назад

They should've taken architectural advice from Shinra Inc. They may be evil but at least make their super-tall office buildings a bit easier to navigate.

@RoboSparkle Год назад

In fairness, if my company was not *evil* as such, but definitely morally ambiguous enough to have invented teleportation technology and restricted its usage ONLY to the company HQ and one (but not both) of the local gyms, I'd probably have a confusing path to my office as well. Just in case the fuzz turned up at the wrong time.

@DiMono Год назад

Super Mario Bros level 8-4 actually has a trivial solution: always take the first pipe after lava. Any time you cross lava, take the next pipe, and you will get to the end.

@argentpuck Год назад

Trivial, but not intuitive. It's still a brute force solution until you start hallucinating and recognize a pattern that is completely absent from the rest of the game.

@TheManofBrisk Год назад

What's funny is that Nintendo even acknowledged "yeah, we made the Water Temple in OoT too confusing" and so altered it in the 3DS remaster by adding arrows on the floor and walls pointing you to where you could change the water level, as well as an extra camera movement to show the location of a key that many players miss when navigating the dungeon.

@BeckyNosferatu Год назад

The beta was far worse. Instead of 3 levels, there were ORIGINALLY FIVE LEVELS planned. 3 was way to hard.

@shotgunshells2 Год назад

Just once, I'd like a shooter where you hit a locked door, the character says they need a key, the quest log says you need a key, and your GPS takes you to the rocket launcher. And that's the only 'locked door puzzle' in the entire game.

@FelisImpurrator Год назад

Technically, Metroid Prime does this a lot, although it isn't the only locked door puzzle.

@superste2100 Год назад

@cody-adricharper5848 Год назад

In the original Red Faction I got to an area with a locked door and was tearing my hair out trying to find a keycard. Until I realized that I was an idiot and just blew a hole in the wall next to the door with my explosives.

@lauryntonio Год назад

this is genius and even if they didn't wanna go as loud and zany as a rocket launcher - even smth as subtle as the main character takes a pistol and shoots the door lock or even a simple finds a steel toed boot and they start kicking doors if done well i think it could actually be an impressive subversion that would surely earn longevity in video game listacles for years to come

As a kid, I found a strange sense of enjoyment in making hand drawn maps for games like these. They were never really detailed, often just plotted out on quad-ruled sheets of paper, but I enjoyed it and occasionally they came in handy. Didn't have easy access to the internet back then, so I made my own guides and walkthroughs.

@Pemj2k Год назад

That's actually interesting. Did you end up becoming a cartographer by profession or just kept up with that as a hobby?

What got me the most in The Water Temple was this one underwater bit. There was a ledge just barely out of reach of my hook shot. I sat there for hours trying to find the right angle to hook up to the ledge. Then it finally clicked "Take off the iron boots" I face palmed into oblivion

@argentpuck Год назад

If equipment swapping hadn't been so clunky in the original OoT, I think we both would've had an easier time (I'm pretty sure I had the same problem).

@MemesToa Год назад

@@argentpuck Honestly, this alone is the main reason I stick with the 3DS version of OoT as my definitive experience. It says a lot when one’s viewpoint of a level can change dramatically when the game mechanics aren’t unbearably tedious. Why it took Nintendo 6 years to figure out that the Iron Boots should just be an item, and an additional 4 years to implement it in a water dungeon, is still beyond me.

@MarkEdwardRom Год назад

Zelda 2: The Adventures of Link - The Great Palace (aka Palace 7)! This place is a literal maze with rooms looping back on each other, trap floors that send you to areas that don't connect back to where you were except through more looping rooms and convoluted paths. It took me longer to beat this palace when I were a wee child than the rest of the game combined.

@blainy-o93 Год назад

The Great Glacier in Final Fantasy VII is a right pain if you don't know your way around, especially for the completionist who wants the Alexander summon and Added Cut materia. Even worse, if you spend too long out in the cold, Cloud will pass out. Although this is a godsend if you have no idea where to go, because you get teleported to a house at the bottom of the next area.

@rogerstewart5525 Год назад

The great crystal in ffxii was a nightmare to navigate. Being made of very similar looking areas and being the one area in the game where you can't use the map like normal and going to the map screen just gives you a pseudo Sanskrit phrase like "A Prama Vikaari" to help you figure out where you are

@TheWorstPartyMember Год назад

Came here to comment this. I have no idea how I ever would have managed to navigate that place without a guide, especially the optional return trip. Edit: Oh, and of course in Zodiac Age they put like...all the best spells in there!

@ystacalden Год назад

I bought the official Guidebook for FFXII, and it got a lot of use. It's nearly useless for Zodiac Age, but the mapped out Great Crystal means there's still one reason to keep consulting it.

I remember drawing maps for each floor of Silph Co. I literally drew everything I could see on each floor, marked and numbered all the teleporters, then tried them one by one and added whatever I could access to my maps. I had a list with the teleporter numbers to show which would go where. Took me forever, but it worked, and I did not get lost.

@marhawkman303 Год назад

I've done that in several games. Dragon Warrior Monsters 2 had random key worlds... with mini-dungeons to loot/explore. Some of the things you could get from them couldn't simply be picked up when you reached the end of the dungeon. So I needed to do record keeping OUTSIDE the game to track it. Which random world was it in? etc....

@azuredragoon2054 Год назад

Code Vein, Cathedral of Blood. It was notorious for being so maze-like that you almost always got lost at least once. What might make this even worse is the fact in canon that the boss of the area didn't want invaders to be hurt at all yet still needed them repelled. EDIT: Oh, yeah, and Code Vein actually featured a map. You were still bound to get lost even with a map. That's how easy it is to get lost in the area.

@shinrailp1416 Год назад

What makes this area even worse is that you need to completely explore it to get the good ending of the game and that there are multiplay challenge rooms throughout this thing. And these enemies that teleport above you to stab you really don't help. Still love the game but this area needs a serious overhaul.

The only place that really got me lost in a video game was The Great Crystal, in Final Fantasy 12. You only have to finish the bottom half to advance the game, but if you want to complete it 100% and face two of the most important optional bosses (Ultima and Omega Weapon), you have to navigate through the whole top half and oh boy, this is a nightmare. Only time I really had to get a piece of paper and a pencil and keep on mapping the whole area by hand to not be lost.

@ABaumstumpf Год назад

2 reasons 1. I have a feeling they deliberately leave out obvious ones so we comment. 2. All of the levels in the video were required to beat the game, and the main area you need to go through for the Great Crystal isn't that bad. Either way, it'll still probably be in the commentator edition.

@Badartist888 Год назад

Was half expecting an honourable mention to the entire game of Daggerfall. Sometimes I want to go back and play it then remember what the randomly generated dungeons (all of them including story dungeons) are like. Seriously the player guide says that teleportation is the single most valuable spell in the game as you can drop the location marker at the dungeon entrance then actually explore. Rather than being lost once you have, somehow, discovered what you are in the dungeon for.

@toschiworlds7212 Год назад

I'd love to be able to say that after so many years and a lot of OoT playthroughs that the water temple doesn't confuse me any longer. And to a certain degree that is true but it still happens that I forget to go back for that one key that I need three rooms from now and then have to go all the way back and change the water levels to even reach the key and then change the water level again because the door is on an entirely different level.

Original: Oppressive. Master Quest: Straightforward. Maybe I just got less stupid.

@raziel710 Год назад

That key was the only reason my brother or I ever got lost in the water temple. As far as I know the only real change Master Quest did was have the camera pan up the tower when you enter SHOWING you that chest with the key in it. That small change does make the temple easier though but that was the intention since they had tons of complaints about the difficulty of the water temple and most of them were because they couldn't find that key.

@Linkforlife199 Год назад

The worst part of the Water Temple is forgetting that 1 key and making it all the way to the boss door only to have to look at the map to find out which key you missed.

No Morrowind Dwemer puzzle box quest? Basically one of the first quests in the main quest is to get a Dwemer puzzle box for a guy in exchange for information needed for later quests. The ruin itself is easy to find but the level is kind of a maze. So you search the whole area repeatedly only to never find the box because unnoticed by 99% of first time players there is an easily missed door near the entrance to the dungeon which leads to a single room which does not connect to the rest of the dungeon other than that singe door you entered from. Has one guy who can be tough at lower levels and the puzzle box is sitting on a bookshelf for the taking. Thus being both one of the easiest and also most frustrating quests in the entire game. Because after the first time once you know where it is it takes 2 minutes tops to get the box and be out the door. But the first time you might have spent hours looking for it before getting frustrated enough to look it up.

@Gatorade69 Год назад

Morrowind didn't hold hands, many people would get lost just trying to find that ruin. Personally, I never got too far in Morrowind, I loved a lot about it but kind of hated the combat. I recently just got the deluxe edition for free on Prime Gaming, I should install it.

@maiqtheliar789 Год назад

@@Gatorade69 Morrowind combat gets a lot easier once you realize that you need to play to your class. If you speced for spears and then try to punch something to death then you will die a horrible death. If instead you buy a spear and try to do the same thing then you should have better luck. Also watch your stamina in Morrowind. It effects everything but especially combat. Unlike later Elder scrolls games where you can ignore it pretty much.

The Foundry in Darksiders II, in the Forge Lands, and Samael's palace in Hell. Samael's palace was a particular pain in the neck, since it required jumping back and forth though time using special portals to navigate it. The Black Spire from the first Darksiders must be added to the list, also, with the confusing puzzles that reset if you didn't finish them fast enough, moving platforms that required you to place portals at _exactly_ the right millisecond and then launch yourself through at another very specific millisecond or you'd get launched into the void and have to do it all again from the last autosave checkpoint. And the Cathedral level in the Darksiders I. I spent so much freaking time lost in those tunnels...

How do you get lost in Ocarina of Time's Water Temple? It's just a central hub room that has linear pathways jutting out from it. Just go through them sequentially at each water level until you find progress. It's probably the simplest dungeon layout in the game. The problem with the Water Temple isn't navigating it, it's having to open the menu repeatedly whenever you want to go up or down in the water, and having to play a song every time you want to change the water level. If the Iron Boots were able to be put on the C buttons (something they fixed in the remake), and the song permanently unlocked a switch you could hit with your sword to change the water level instead, the Water Temple would've been one of the absolutely easiest levels in the game...
