Last post by nuac_ - January 16, 2025 10:44 PMI remember trying to scum save in diablo 1 for the playstation
And utterly failing cuz I was playing the game so terribly wrong.
Final fantasy games are bad by design; earning stronger numbers doesn't make you a better player.
You can't get stronger numbers in D1 or D2; you just kinda play -- you cant grind or regrind the first 2 floors and magically get super strong; that implied design is very dumb and I regret 13 yo me thinking that hahahaha.
But yea I remember trying to fight King Leoric and dying a few thousand times, then giving up because my bow wouldnt repair properly. I was also obsessed with killing the butcher with "pushback" weapons -- this turned out to be dumb. The best part of Diablo 1 was being able to spam pots, and they took that out cuz it was too strong.
Sometimes you roll a game thts impossible to beat without some thinking; Like this one
If I didn't wipe my saves when I got hacked, I wouldve destroyed them by using path finding against them in one of the rooms.
I also hate games or rpgs that warrant chronic saving, but I'm willing to let it go for diablo 1

The Singleplayer campaign of Halo 2, specially on the Legendary difficulty. storywise its great, gameplay its not. I can't stand the poor weapon balance (the shotgun downgrade is a travesty), the irregular behavior of the Covenant and their endurance and the weapons gave, specially in the later parts with the Brutes and those fucking Jackal Snipers.
Combat Evolved was and still it is better.
