It's always really funny to me when games try and have NPCs talk about the main story or something. Like in every far cry game the first thing I do when given control is go and absolutely Max out my character and get all the unlocks and fast travel points I can before I start hitting stuff that's locked behind main story progression. The whole time I'm running around and unlocking towers and guns you'll get passing NPCs talking about the urgent thing that needs to happen right away.

Some devs are getting smarter about these things and only giving you a few side quests per main story quest finished so you have to progress through the main story to get all the powerful shit you want.

I love getting overpowered early on and coasting through the rest of the game. I'm also a junk collector and try to get as much stuff as I can so that whenever a new recipe opens up, I can make whatever my team needs and continue the coasting.

"You have all the power in the world, can slice through a steel army like butter, but tell me adventure, can you break a locked door?"

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

This made me think of Crisis Core.

My stats could literally go no higher, even after breaking the stat parameters, every attack I did inflicted every status ailment including death, I killed the god of the life stream, I was the apex of stats, skills, and equipment. And then a bunch of Shinra chaff kill me. I literally killed god, and other gods, and Sephiroth at his prime, but was taken out by frontline infantry. #justiceforzack

Or when the characters forget about their bag full of revive potions as they watch their beloved companions die. It's not like the potions are rare or unique, every store in the world sells them, even your car sells them in FF15.

The enemies clearly know about them too, how else would you explain the unlimited supply soldiers and monsters we use to grind levels?

Aw, damn it. I'm the legendary hero saving the world from an unprecedented threat, but I just can't seem to get past this TREE in the middle of the road! This immovable obstacle is the one thing halting me in my quest!

...What do you mean, "just go around it"? Blasphemy!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

Level 100 on all six Pokémons

Some even learned HM01, CUT

Press A on the road block

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

A game with enemies that level slightly less than you do where, at the final boss, you become the boss and have to fight your character

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

At the end of FFX,

spoiler

you have to fight all your own summons. Which can get pretty ugly if you'd been leaning on them through the whole campaign, to the detriment of the rest of your party.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Me, in a JRPG where I was stuck in a boss room with no mobs to level up after learning that you can escape from all the fights, except the boss...

Yeah, I was 11, how can you tell lol

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

Lavos really likes when Crono, out of curiosity, uses that one bucket at the End of Time.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago

"Hey! Listen! Listen!" ~ I've survived entire lifetimes with that twittering into my ear to no avail. I am going to climb that mountain and will use every levitation hack that I know to make it happen.

Main questline? What main questline? What do you mean I'm supposed to find my dad/son/attempted killer?

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

This is how I play Elden ring and every Zelda game ever known to man. You just don’t want them to end.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Exactly. The postgame gets so boring after a while, it's more fun to just make a new character and do all those side quests again.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I don't even remember the end of Skyrim. Maybe I never did.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I've got a ridiculous amount of time in Skyrim and never finished the main quest.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

The only reason I finished the main questline 15 years late was because I got a house in the anniversary update that had a display case for the Dragon Priest Masks

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It's pretty memorable. You go to Skyhalla, kill a bunch of dragons.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Got vague memories of riding a dragon, that's probably the one. Daedric quests were more memorable. 500+ hours of side quests washed over it ig.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago (2 children)

That's the dragonborn dlc you're remembering I believe

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

You do have to capture a dragon in Whiterun before you get to Valhallarim, I think you ride him towards the whatever it was temple before ascending to the next plane of existence

AFAIR, the dragonborn DLC got you fighting the OG dragonborn in a place that really looked like a daedric quest, with one of the dungeons being green/black slime and books or something like that

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Yeah that's correct, with the dragon born dlc you also got a shout called bend will (or similar name) which allowed you to make dragons land for you and ride them, they just sorta fly around in circles and attempt to attack things on the ground if you tell it to. But yeah that's what I was referring to, I'd actually forgotten abt the captured dragon whenever I play I avoid the main questline the entire time

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

That would be Solstheim, connected to Morrowind.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

Ah damn, never finished the game ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Hey look its the chicken chaser!

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The first time I ever played skyrim, I just went full wander mode and just ran around. I kicked a chicken and then swam down a river to see where it led. Eventually I came across a Frost Giant herding sheep. I killed one of its flock, and then spent the next few hours evading this fucking Giant as it relentlessly pursued me over every terrain. Bit by bit I whittled him down and bit by bit he took chunks out of me. On my last legs, I spotted a town and ran full belt to it and the guards came to my aid, and tears of gratitude came to my eyes as I was rescued by my human brethren, and together they all took him down. Deciding that I had had enough of the nomadic lifestyle and wanted to settle down, I headed into the city, only to be promptly attacked and arrested for kicking that chicken from earlier.

You have committed crimes against Skyrim and her people. What say you in your defense?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

You're making a mistake...
