Guild Wars 2

Very unforgiving design. At least ninja gaiden had infinite continues and a password system in part 3 (japanese version).

Part of the problem with the design as people said, its extremely long. And to get the achievements you must backtrack at times, but the problem is the check point system negates backtracking.

The design of sab isn’t totally like traditional nes games. Most nes games were very linear, with no focus on collecting items SAB is a hybrid between nes games and free roaming games like Mario 64.

Because of this needs some sort of system that saves your progress OR the dev could at the very least change the way baubles are calculated for the achievement. It would be much more forgiving if you didn’t have the go through the whole level to collect the bauble achievement. Rather it should save your bauble progression so you can go get ones you missed.

Because getting d/c in 2-2 is GG. Thats crazy.

There’s infantile mode for those that find SAB too difficult for some reason. Making it easier is the wrong direction to go. If people had played the old console games before then they would realize that SAB is much easier and shorter.

Infantile mode doesn’t change how long the zones are, it just adds a way to skip the harder jumping – for the main path of the zone only.

And 2-2 is really kittening long.

I’ve do it in about 15-20 min on normal. If you think that is long then wait until you get to 2-3.
