in zeno clash their is a fight you are supposed to loose, in fact you get an achievement for beating the enemy down to one live. When I got into that fight I won without getting injured and only was actually beaten (and hit for the first time) once I decided to stop curve stopping the guys face, in the following cut scene I loose the fight because he is too strong.Elcarsh said:

. You could try building those buildings that attack enemies directly that cost 1 tactic slot apiece next time (every faction has access to one after all ). You're still better off than I am. I can't even take control of an entire solar system before getting my ass kicked. >_>
I'd say - it really shows how cheap their programming is if so many people have problems with them. Their difficulty should be based on their level and tactics, not unfair advantages.Furioso said:
I was actually playing pokemon earlier today and I realized something, the enemy pokemon do get an unfair advantage in stuff like this, but I think it makes up for the awful teams most of the NPCs have. I mean, sure that bug catchers weedle will poison you, but you also have pokemon on the 2nd evolution that eat those things for brunch. I still think it's cheap, but I can forgive it when all those poor fishermen are stuck with teams of 6 magikarpVolan said:
Well, against ordinary NPC teams you really should be winning - I guess that's the whole point of proving you're the best when you can easily put other trainers in their place. It's against renown trainers that the difficulty should come, but often their difficulty comes from shortcuts rather than actual skill.Furioso said:
The game Chromehounds had a very bad habit of doing this to me. The time that pissed me off the most was when I beat the last mission for the first time using the default Hound on the second try. Many many days of rage-inducing trial and error followed that.him over there said:
Gears 3 also has a problem like this. Game:" Oh, you want to pick up your friend before the giant monster thing comes over? Okay, just HEY LOOK! A weapon! I think you need this more right now. Your friend will just have to... oops, too late."archvile93 said:
I'd have to say every Yu-Gi-Oh game, since all players actually know the cards you have. I guess it's easier to make them know your cards than actually program good AI, but it's still cheating. Try any of those games with an emulator that allows saves anywhere (I guess I should clarify, if you actually own the original game) and save before choosing a specific monster card, which the opponent can't see. He'll choose a monster with a higher defense than your attack. Reload your save and choose a monster with a higher attack. Your opponent will choose one with an even higher defense, even though he's not supposed to be seeing what card you chose.Mr Cwtchy said:
This is called Cutscene Incompetence. It's a known and very rightfully despised gaming trope. Very common in Red Dead Redemption. It's also referred to as "Failure is forbidden until it's mandatory", it means you get penalized for being defeated in a fight/race which has to end up with you being defeated anyway. I don't get why the hell do they give you a game over if you lose a fight if when the fight ends you lose anyway and the game goes on. And yeah, it's worse if you can easily wipe the floor with the enemy (*cough* Kai Leng *cough*).Elcarsh said:
). And worst of all, your guys start far away from said target and always get their turn last, not to mention the fact that the target goes straight for the enemies and gets her arse killed instantly. Theres Nothing you can do!
I was about to post about that very same mission. That mission on the top of the church where you have to save Rafa or whatever she calls her dumbass self. That was just poor design and whoever designed it needs to be slapped repeatedly. It sucks when you might have to reload 3-10 times and do that section all over again because the person you're supposed to protect gets killed BEFORE YOU CAN EVEN MAKE YOUR FIRST MOVE.Lewieroo0 said:Final Fantasy War of the Lions pulled a dirty move on me on the mission after defeating Weigraf in his demonic form. Up until now, if a guest character your suppose to protect dies, they have the usual 3 or so turns to be resurrected before they disappear. But not here, ooooh no.
If the girl you have to protect dies just ONCE, It's an instant game over for you, and it's cause of this i have never been able to continue the game. It doesn't help that the target you have to protect is right next to the enemy consisting of 2 ninjas with ridiculous speed and instant stopping powers that NEVER miss and a jerk off that can deal ludicrous amounts of damage with an area of effect skill (like those damn dirty Dakar knights

It helps to plan ahead for that mission and get Ninjas (high base speed) unlocked and any +speed gear you can find so you get to move earlier, then you just have to hope she doesn't stroll over there and get murdered.
) so i can't continue unless i beat it, to which i had to start a new file (and this was on the Ipod touch port. Ninja AI are a bunch of cheaters.
actually that's sort of their kill cam move they cant/wont do it if your hp is above a certain level so eather use a bow or chug a health potionKizi said:
