Comment on Zelda-Inspired Plucky Squire Shows What Happens When A Game Doesn't Trust Its Players

All a game like this would need is the ability to disable the feature.
It’s like developers are so obsessed and occupied with making it as accessible to everyone, that they seem to forget that there is also an entire playerbase out there not looking to be handheld through everything (including children). I’d get a bigger sense of achievement if I managed to do it on my own.
I remember playing Mario on the NES and it was completely unforgiving as a child, like insta-deaths, limited amount of lives, no save games, hidden secrets, etc. But it was pure bliss when I finally beat the game.

It’s not an easy game, that’s ok. The reason most of us beat it in the 80’s is because we only had one or two games at a time to play until Xmas/birthday every year.

Hold Start and press A when continuing to continue from the current level.

That’s fair these days, unless you’re playing it on a CRT with original hardware or MiSTER, the latency will be through the roof compared to what the game was designed around.

In the early 2000s you pirated nintendo games, had no manual ( or bought it legit but couldnt read it properly to understand) and just figured out the manuals.

I remember playing Legacy of Kain: Defiance for the first time when I was a kid.
I spent actual hours coming through the damn mansion level looking for the proper route and I was so frustrated. I finally broke down and looked it up on the computer (which I was grounded from at the time) so I could see if I could find a solution.

That is not what they said.

You gotta admit it s confusing and abnormal to put a single “no” entry in the middle of a comma-delimited list of “yes” entries. Normally you’d say,
Sometimes the “and” and “or” are left out.
The original commenter took this format, and mixed it all up like
Is that no other thing or yes other thing? Who can tell? Only people who didn’t need to be told these things in the first place.

Thanks but I never need someone else entirely to tell me that their interpretation of SOMEONE ELSE’S sentence is more correct than mine. If he wants to correct me he can

Fair enough, but you also never need to call someone a bitch.

Don’t listen to the haters. The original sentence was ambiguous.

I’m a “hater” for pointing out they misread the comment? Okay.
