all water levels blend together to a terrible watery mess in my head

except the one in banjo-tooie. that one was so bad that it just brought my interest in the game to a screeching halt even as a kid

nono it wasnt a hard temple, just tedious and poo poo with loads of backtracking and a bad boss that grabs you with a 10 second animation that deals like 2 hearts of damage.

majoras mask is still pretty good though

You don't have to backtrack at all unless you missed something, both n64 water temples worked this way


also you can totally shoot ice arrows at the water and jump to the boss key without beating the mini boss.


and if you're into cheating there is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wu6X-L-OKFU

gently caress every water level in Ecco 1 & 2.

beaten. I'm seriously replaying Ecco 1 right now, besides Sonic 1-3/Knuckles it was the only Sega game I really liked. I would like to try and actually beat 2 even if the "3d world runner" levels were terrible; I could never get past the Medusa because I assumed he was a boss and that I was supposed to beat him.

I forget, could super/hyper sonic get around that? I remember Super/Hyper were perfectly capable of chasing Robotnik through the vacuum of space at the end of Sonic 3/Knuckles.

I said the water level/temple is the hardest moment in Zelda gaming, maybe the hardest level in gaming history and this jerk said I was quote "a stupid pussy baby who can't game and a retarded scrub rear end human being who thinks Kirby is probly hard" unquote and I'm not sure how I should kick his rear end to death. Thoughts?

Office Thug posted:

the water temple in majoras mask is actually somehow way worse than the one in OoT. the boss especially was a huge turd since you had to jump in the water to fight him and he had a near-unavoidable grab that he would use over and over

Yeah the 3d Zelda water temples I've played (haven't done skyward bored) all have a really cool design mechanic that as long as you don't progress the sequence of the dungeons state without doing everything possible first, you don't need to backtrack. But if you do its all hosed and you back track for days.

It's a cool way to reward people who aren't rushing through or to feel like a god drat wizard on your second play through.

Water levels are almost as bad as Ice levels. They're both bad, but on a whole I believe Ice levesl are worse.

I think the water temple in ocarina wasn't that bad compared to the place in zelda spit tracks where they put 5 concurrent hands and you could not fight them because you had to carry a key or something.
