Poll: One life, no continues.

[Tdc2182]

I'm currently doing this on Minecraft. I started a new world with the seed as "Awesome" (just to see what it would be (so far it's not very awesome)). If I die then I have to delete the world. I also added the rule that every night I have to stay in a new shelter. I can't use the same shelter twice. It really ups the tension.

I just got mine fixed last night with that new update.

What is a seed?

OT: Never thought of this before. It sounds pretty damn intriguing. Though I think I would collapse of nerves if I played a mission with a time limit.

I think I have to try this. Maybe over spring break.

Essentially, you use codes composed of numbers and letters to create specific worlds as opposed to a random creation.

well, technically minecraft, but i delete the world and make a new one

 

[zombiesinc]

No, I've never tried that sort of thing and quite honestly, I don't want to. I can see the appeal of course, but I think it'd end up hurting my experience with the game rather than add anything exciting.

I'm just one of those people who dies a lot sometimes 'cause I can't be arsed to make an effort. >.>

Diablo II I made it all that way through to nightmare that includes the expansion mode before I ate dust. The best parts are when you are on the verge of death and you pull off some crazy shit you wouldn't do normally. He was a necro named Melvin.

All I have to say to that is, regarding the boss at the end of Act II, not dying is impressive. I have no idea how to manage that.

Yeah, Treasure Island Dizzy.

Oh wait, it's forced on you. >.<

 

[StBishop]

Did this in Dragon Age once, it was a real *****
I died pretty late in the game, during the Landsmeet. That really, really bugged me.

I'm thinking of doing a DA:O Hardcore, Iron Man, Solo, non-mage.
Just to see if it's do-able.

Especially with a necromancer. Unless you were playing online, then it's not too far fetched.

Also, UPDATE: Batman's dead. I know, I didn't think it was possible but it happened. And, believe it or not, it was Bane.

I was actually surprised that I made it that far on hard.

 

[Tirrast]

i've done it on final fantasy 7 but to make it even if a party member goes down they are switched. if they cannot be switched they just guard no more actions are taken. was hard and i failed on the first sephiroth/jenova battle..on the boat.

I did it by accident on Deus Ex once... I got 7 hours in and forgot to save the entire time... and then I died via flamethrower it threw me all the way back to the beginning of the first mission... it was almost rage inducing...<.<

 

[Axzarious]

Demon's Souls. As a 'Monk'. Bare fists. Cloth armour. Only storm ruler is allowed for storm king.

Alternately, Dual wield shields.

Or just play the game in ironman mode. Or do either of the above in iron man to make it even harder.

 

[dWintermut3]

I've played Nethack, that's the only mode you get in a roguelike.

Old-school for the win.

 

[ImpofthePerverse]

I can't say I have ever really tried any such restrictions on a game. I think if I was going to it'd have to be a game I've played and completed at least once already, and I'd be doing this to revisit or get more out of the game. I couldn't see myself enjoying something if I tried this first time.

Non mage? Ha! You're doomed!
Seriously though, there are a couple of people over on the Bioware forums who've done it - though they might have cheated a little with mods. That said, good luck! You will need it.

I use to play on hardcore mode in Diablo 2. It was pretty brutal, could spend a full month leveling a character and collecting good gear, then get murdered and its all gone forever.

Same here. Once I died at Mephisto. That was the furthest I got. I think I was level 34.

I have done it since on a couple games. I made it through Uncharted on normal difficulty. Force Unleashed 1 Starkiller was killed a walker. I also do it on minecraft. (I have a world that is persistant though.)

 

[Comic Sans]

I beat MGS3: Snake Eater without dying. Most of it in one sitting. Once you realize that the knife is ungodly, and have the right camo, it's pretty easy. Now, doing it without dying while killing nobody would be something else entirely.

 

[vadagar1]

its called real life and that's why its sucks XD

God should have set the game for medium instead of insane, he is such a hardcore gamer
