this is the thread concept: games that let you take the easy way out, but not without making you pay dearly for it. for example, MGSVs chicken hat, which stops you from getting spotted a few times, at the cost of making you look like a mega dunce

another example .. crash bandicoot 1s cheat that gave you 105% completion, but it was like 10000 symbols long and probably took an hour to enter assuming you didnt make any mistakes

You can steal items from the item shop in Link's Awakening, so you don't have to pay over 900 rupees for the bow, but you are now called THIEF for the rest of the game.

In the Splatoon 2 dlc you have to pay credits to attempt levels, and if you run out Pearl's dad calls you and gives you a loan with predatory interest rates.

armored core 1 has a secret easy mode if you get into too much debt from failing missions. each time you trigger it it resets your character and gives you some sort of really nice new ability (like no weight limit if you go far enough), but you also get a cutscene that rags on your abilities as a mech pilot:

in SMT4 you can save/load as much as you want, so if you gently caress up you should generally just reload. but if you die and let it play out you go to a purgatory and the gatekeeper makes you pay a fine of half your money to be revived.

If this happens a couple of times, the gatekeeper recognizes you and goes "Oh no...not you again. Look dude...you wanna just, put this on easy mode? I won't tell anyone"

In FF Legend II whenever you lose a battle you go to Valhalla and Odin revives you to retry. But halfway through the game you kill Odin and can't retry anymore.

It’s not halfway, more near the end but yeah that’s crazy and a great mechanic. Makes fighting Arsenal that much worse

If you get to Odin without ever dying the fight just starts without him talking to you.
