Most people don't like that kind of stuff because it's fucking stupid.Wyrmlord said:Or how in certain adventure games, not having picked up a certain item early on may cause you to be completely trapped in a certain area and unable to finish the game.
I like that stuff, though alot of people wouldn't, supposedly.
Not being able to finish the game because of a clear mistake is alright, if the game is hardcore. Like in The Last Express where you lose at the end if you didn't take the egg with you when you split the train. Or if, for example, you were to piss off an important figure in a game and he sends his goons to kill you later on. That kind of failure is fine.
Not being able to finish because I didn't pick that pair of scissors in the bushes which is apparently the only one in the game's universe is the bad sort of failure, and should never exist.
