the best part of that shitty godforsaken level is you can just skip like 90% of it with a clever ledge jump.

This thing right here is why I love older games more than newer ones. Modern games are so fucking railroaded, it doesn't make you feel free. For example, in Human Revolution, you're supposed to find a terminal to hack to open a gate. I didn't feel like looking for it, so I found a bunch of items, stacked them, and make a makeshift ladder to jump over it.

The opposite of that would be when you think you CAN do an alternative solution, but the game restricts you from doing it. Such as all the QUALITY in the first Watch_Dogs, you can't drive a bus to a wall, jump on it, and climb over the fence, you have to actually hack the door to open it to get inside.

>>381261167

The most infuriating thing about modern railroading is that they could easily justify "issues" like the one in Watch_Dogs by just making the fence higher. It's so much easier to just scale assets up these days and yet they still can't be bothered to do it, so the railroading just feels more insulting and lazy.

>>381261427
Railroading shouldn't exist at all. That's the sign of an incompetently made game.

I'm an ex-FFXI player and this post was great.

>>381256973
I remember playing Breath of Fire II with something like that.

At some point of the game, you can't progress unless you do one of two options.

The first option was to pay an unrealistically large amount of money. The second option I can't remember, you either had to battle, or you had to go on a fetch quest for an item.

I used a GameShark unlimited money cheatcode, and chose to pay my way through. It worked.

I'm actually surprised that it did; once again, the NPC was asking for a ridiculous sum, so anyone playing the game normally would've chosen the other option. But the developers actually bothered to program the money option, even though it would be normally impossible/improbable.

>barely get five levels for killing it, but it was worth it

>same tutorial has a peasant that sell you a wand
>instead of that you can shoot a dragonfly and guide the angry swarm of flies into town to slaughter all the villagers without you getting the blame

Lego Marvel was funny because they kept the courses but gve the ability to change to any character anywhere you want making most of them pointless.

It's always a good feeling. I'm hoping one of the new Metroid games allow for sequence breaking, and more unlikely, secret worlds.

Even then you're wrong; the solution was to drestroy the tubes to get a cube

can you do that to buy the bike in pokemon?

>>381264130
Fucking EYE.

>>381258737
No OP weapons, but one of the level designers for DN3D put secret messages (Levellord) for places you could usually no clip to. The ones off my head were the shrink blaster in The Fault, the area where the helicopter was in E3, and the part of the next level at the end of E3's first that you could see through a crack. Noclipping there had the message behind a building.

>>381264349
The bike costs 1.000.000 but you can only carry 999.999.

>>381264842
You could probably overflow the money counter if you know what you're doing, the same way missingno sets your sixth item slot quantity over the normal maximum of 99. I don't think it'd work though, since one million is an actual unobtainable amount instead of just something really high but still possible within game rules.

Considering how crudely programmed gen 1 is, even if you could carry all that money you probably wouldn't be able to buy it.

On the same note, the Slowpoke tail is also given a price of one million Pokebucks, but this value holds the distinction of being rendered with commas, unlike any purchasable item. Contrast from the bike where it is rendered as one million without commas.

It's been tried. The game will just display the same message as if you didn't have enough money.
