Oh yeah, that infamous dragon at the end of Knights of Justice - I've dealt with that, too. What the hell were the programmers thinking making you go ALL the way back to Camelot and walk ALL the way through about 5 areas of the game only to get killed instantly by it again? She is difficult, but sometimes I think Warlord Viper is even harder. You just have to trek through more to get back to Morgana. |

Oh joy, now that Peanut guy has, on the list of upcoming videos on his Youtube page:
Top Eight Colossi I suppose he could be talking about a different group of colossi than the ones from SotC, but I really doubt it. I just thought of the best way to tell if you have the right amount of experience to make these kinds of lists: If you can't beat the winning entries on your list of "hardest" or "most difficult" anything, you don't have the knowledge to make a list that's truly credible. |

That's like listing the top eight places to get whacked with a hammer. Yes, the thigh or gut might be a better place to get hit than the forehead or
kneecap, but you're still getting hit with a hammer.

To serve as recommendations to people? And if the person compiling the list won't listen to recommendations, who will? Gamers seem resistant to listen to recommendations from just normal people (as opposed to from advertisements, or Game Informer or whtaever) I'm reminded of this series of posts. Quote: |

By the way, the guy who wrote that? As well as the "Castlevania DS looks like it will kick the ass of Symphony of the Night itself" line I
referenced, it was the same guy who gave us lines like "gives off the impression of being literally tragic without actually being so" and said the
colossi were the only bosses in the history of gaming to require thinking.

On the other hand, I know sometimes it can be hard to follow recommendations. Games cost money, and they cost a lot of time. And sometimes there are so many recommendations from so many people that if you tried following
them you'd feel like you'd be pulled in every direction at once (this is, incidentally, one reason I'm against score inflation, but I digress) And
who do you trust?
Anyway, there was one time when we tried having some sort of "best game tournament" at this board. I kind of felt as though it became a "whichever game has been played by more people at this board wins this round" tournament. For the first few rounds, I actually tried playing the games I hadn't played, so I could be more secure in my voting. But I wasn't able to finish any new games in the time before voting, and eventually I couldn't pursue trying the unfamiliar games at all. So I know that in reality this sort of idealism doesn't always work. "Of the three ways in which men think that they acquire a knowledge of things--authority, reasoning, and experience--only the last is effective and able to bring peace to the intellect." -Roger Bacon |

And now I just realized that his profile page's background is sketches of the colossi.
