This is ONLY about DMD mode as that changes everything.

I have beaten 1 on DMD itemless and it was just to finish it itemless as I played the game to death,so it felt like kind of an obligation, and running through 3 right now. And It does feel unfair to me.

I always felt atleast in 1s case, with how much damage the bosses do on DMD, that camera issues should not be a thing as you die in 3 hits. Also stuff like Mundus is just universally considered bs, but I am wondering what people's thoughts are overall

It just feels like I am just grinding out (killing enemies to clear rooms in general but with UT etc) just to get enough items to make it through.

It isn't really all that hard, if you just grind and max out your items

I just started a new game on Ninja gaiden Sigma after my Hard playthrough, which showed some really really really cool enemy types.

I started a new game and this dude falls off and starts running around, is this a luck thing? I don't think he has ever done this before

I am curious

I have played other Marios , but I feel like Mario 3 is very much about allocating items. (I have not beaten the game yet, I'm on World 8).

But it can take a stage that is a 9/10 difficulty down to 4/10 just based on if you chose the right power up.

I don't feel this in pretty much any other mario game

I don't really see this in other game communtiies

It just feels like it is one of those genres that you play repeatedly. When you see DMC combos videos , you can see the effort that person put in.

I just played RE9 and Pragmata and i liked those games, Pragmata was 8/10 to me (fell off at the bit at the end. The hacking at the final area ran its course I feel) and RE9 was a 7/10.

It just feels like the skill expression is not there in other genres. I will say that games like Doom Eternal or some Souls games do have this though but those are selective games. I also started playing Mario 3 and that feels like a game that has this skill expression too,not to the same extent, but you can see the effort the player put in.

Anyone else feels this way.

Having beaten Mentor, when I get to Chapter 15, I really want the game to be over most of the time.

I feel like the last 3 missions on this game is just not that good.

I think even the DOA girls misisons were good ,but there is something about the last 3 missions that nose dive.

I do know the biggest nose dive in quality for mission 17 is the dragged out boss fight that takes forever.

I have beaten warrior without items before so I tried this on Mentor and i just got annoyed at having to redo stuff, yes I made steady progress and I was not really walled. But I just got annoyed by replaying stuff due to dying to a grab or something. I started using items,and I have blown through most of the game.

The only 3 hard parts is the Armadillo,the boss at the top of the clock tower and the stairway of death. But outside of this, it is easy as hell.

So are the items intended to be used,or not? Because most of my items usage is just to mitigate the damage from an off screen grab or an enemy hyperarmoring through my attack strings or a boss

You'd think that in a video game, you woudln't hate using healing items. But in this genre, it genuinely makes me hate using healing items and I don't know why as I don't have this problem with any other genre.

I played Sigma 2 and on that game, the bosses dont have the random punishment windows. playing 2 Black, Genshin on Mentor can attack or iframe or dowhatever he wants.

on Mentor on Sigma 2, it seems like he actually takes hits after his combo and he has to hold the damage.

So is Sigma 2 the superior version?
