ITT: weapons and items rendered useless because you get them

>>376136996
You have no idea how much I hate this trope. What's even the point of doing this? reeeee

>to get the best weapon in the game you have to do a series of uncalculated, autistic, cryptic and unconnected shit that feels like it was designed by 'that kid'
>miss a single step and its gone forever
why

>>376137603
Golden Eye?

>>376136996
Well in KH's case weapons stats barely matter. It's more about the abilities of the keyblades and learning patterns

>>376137945
True but you still only get shit like No Name (bbs) and Ultima (3D) after beating the last challenge of the game (I beat No Heart with Aqua the very first time I fought him, thank you Mines, still havent beaten YMX)

>>376137603
Zodiac Spear? Didn't they change that in International?

>>376136996
but you can do this before the mirage arena stuff so it isnt useless.

in .hack GU vol 3, you get the best duel guns from beating that boss at the end of that terrible dungeon. they look cool, but there was absolutely nothing to do after, so it fits what you're saying more

>>376138196
Ultima was really weird in DDD especially the out of nowhere bossfight.
Some of the bosses in DDD had a lot of potential like Rinzler or Young Xehanort, but in the end it was just command spam even more than BBS

Had to wait for the LP to load to get a picture.

The bonus boss of Nostalgia is this huge robot named Mother Stella that takes literally an hour to beat at max level.

Your reward for beating her is armor for your White Mage-esque character, which also changes her costume in battle and the field.

But this is probably the last thing you will do in-game, so there's no point.

>>376138369
if you were spamming commands then you really didnt know what you were doing

>>376136996
It's BBS though so it doesn't matter, just keep using that command deck mindlessly and you'll be fine.

Gravity Hammer in Halo ODST

>tough wave clear of enemies
>Suddenly a hammer brute
>Kill him, he drops his hammer for me to pick up
>"OH SHIT YES, BOSS FIGHT INCOMING!"
>Credits roll, game is done

You literally get a weapon stronger than the instant kill sword just as the game ends. If anything is a cockblock, this is it.

>>376138359
God I barely used any other weapon aside from the doppelgänger gear. Once you could use cheats the game was essentially over.

>>376138196
I always felt the last challenge in 3d was the special portals. Julius is pretty easy.

>>376138449
You mean i wasn't artificially trying to gimp myself?
I'll glald use ballon and surges all day if the combat system is garbage

In one of the Dark Cloud games there is a postgame dungeon that gives you the strongest weapon in the game, but by that point it matters in no way since you already did everything

>>376138580
he is not easy if you dont cheese him.

>>376138595
cool. so you're garbage.

>>376138449
>Not just using Balloon and Balloonga

>You don't keep the ugprade in new game plus

FUCKING REEEEEE ITS ONLY GIVEN FOR 1 MISSION

>>376136996
Yeah but don't you hate superbossses that give you absolutely nothing instead

>>376138660
i like my awesome commands better

>>376138654
Man are you that idiot that tries to defend Julius and DDD in every KH thread?
Next thing you do is show us your YT video

>>376138771
you can make up as much shit as you want, but you are utter trash at the game. riku is a superior character and i had a blast fighting julius without cheesing him

i did

In skies of Arcadia the final AirShip boss fight gave you an item that increases ship hp by 2000.
You get plunged straight into the final boss after. Can't even use it as there is no overworld between that boss and the final boss

DDD and BBS are garbage. KH2 has the best combat system out of all the KHs and even then it's a mediocre hack n slash.

I actually preferred the way it was before.

I loved running through the necrohol at lvl 30 and getting spooked by that lvl 80 area teleporting ghosthorse while searching for the room with the 16 chests.

>>376137603
I don't really mind that stuff because I see it as a mysterious thing that will happen to very few players by chance, rather than something included just to frustrate completionists.

I love when games know there's nothing left to do, but still lets you fuck around and basically gives a "Thank you" for playing. Earthbound also comes to mind.

>>376140596
It kind of makes me sad because walking around with the ultimate gear and no challenges left really breaks the illusion and makes you think about how tiny and meaningless the world is

>Just as the game ends
There's several chances to get Grav Hammers, Rocket Launchers, Fuel Rod Cannons, Snipers and other power weapons both in the individual levels and in the city, as well as several times during the ending sequence, hell you can still steal vehicles, portraying it like it's giving you some legendary weapon right at the very end is pretty far from the truth

>>376139043
It must be hell living a life where you're afraid of other peoples opinions.

It's like saying DMC2 has amazing gameplay compared to the other DMC games

>>376136996
Valkyria Profile 2 best sword, the Angel Slayer is obtainable after killing the secret Boss in the after game dungeon ten times. Every time the boss and the dungeon keeps getting harder.

For me this is the worst offender in the category, because the game offers nothing after that dungeon, and at that point final boss became piss easy to destroy.

>>376142842
that's not even close to an accurate analogy I'm actually a bit embarrassed for you. It would be far easier for you to admit you suffer from an irrational anger of people who have different preferences than you instead of grouping everyone who disagrees with you in a bubble and then attacking people who even remotely fall into that bubble.
