Hardest Vintage RPG?
Hey everyone, I've been going on a Vintage RPG binge as of late, going through all my old games looking for what to play next when I came across a game that no matter what I did, it kicked me in the smurf no matter what I tried. The game was called the 7th saga and it was the one that thaught me the true meaning of "Rage Quitting". Was there one for you guys that though you loved the game, it just got the best of you?
Depends on what you define as vintage.
Honestly, I don't think RPGs can get any harder than old school MegaTen. I have the original Shin Megami Tensei on my iPhone and while I haven't rage quit, I'm taking a break because that ship is tough as balls.
I'll have to try that one, always up for a good challenge.
I'll second Shin Megami Tensei. Got up to Alice section, lost badly against Neiboros and then realized I hadn't saved since the dungeon before that... I think it's been 8 months now...
While not vintage, Demon's Souls and I have a similar relationship as does Zelda II.
True beauty exists in things that last only for a moment.
Current Mood: And it's been a long December and there's reason to believe. Maybe this year will be better than the last. I can't remember all the times I tried to tell myself. To hold on to these moments as they pass...
Zelda II is the only one that comes to mind if we stick with the 8/16 bit era of gaming. Otherwise, Dark Souls hands down.
Probably the original Phantasy Star. That game just hates people.
Oh yeah, that game just won't give you a break.Originally Posted by Sephex

I would nominate Beyond the Beyond. I only played it once, and I had trouble progressing because of the art. Everyone was so ugly. If you can ignore a game full of people this horribly ugly, then you are dead inside!
In Breath of Fire II for SNes there's this part where you have to use the Monkey. And I hadn't used the Monkey and I saved past a point so I was stuck grinding the monkey. I never came back to it. I started playing it on the GBA cause I heard the grinding wasn't so tedious, but I haven't reached that point yet. That's the only time I can think of that a game beat me. I can get really stubborn when it comes to that stuff. I beat Phantasy Star, I drew maps.
Is that after you get the whale? There is a great grind island in the north accessible with the whale where you can grind up very quickly.
It's abit past that. It's the fight with (SPOILER)Turbo. And you're stuck in the castle, unable to leave. This was back before the internet and you could just look up grinding spots. I didn't even have Bleu.
Ahhh ya, with Bleu it breaks that game with shed
TES II: Daggerfall comes to mind...
all or them
As much as I love video games I just suck at them so the older game style of difficulty? I couldn't make it far enough in most to tell you which is more difficult
Yeah smurf Sten, I had the exact same thing happen to me the first time I played and I have hated him ever since.
