This is my probem with ALL games of today. In my opinion, checkpoints shouldn't even EXIST. Like if you die in a game, LET US START BACK WHERE WE DIED. What's the point of doing a whole course from the last checkpoint anyways?? "Oh challenges give us fun" NO ITS NOT FUN.... Keep dying over and over and having to restart everything is NOWHERE NEAR FUN. Look at Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze. If I died and started where i left off I could've beaten the unfair unfun levels without wasting time.
Take LIVES OFF TOO. Whats the point of having lives?? Take lives off, and actually make your games fun!
Luigi's Manion, New Super Mario Bros U, Yoshi Wooly World, Super Mario Maker and Super Mario 3D World all suffer from this. They just depend on checkpoints and lives which is no fun at all. Escpically DK: TF. Like PLEASE. Make your games fun and let us have fun. Its' so unfair to keep depending on checkpoints and lives...and don't even remind me of Uncharted.
Also when you do go back to the last checkpoint or begining of stage. You have to collect everything else again too!
Think about it this way. You start a level and it takes you TEN minutes to finally reach that checkpoint.... but you have to beat a final group of enemies, or final 1 out of 10 chance of making a leap, or a boss to actually achieve that checkpoint.... when you have low health too. It's stressful AND NOT FUN at all. Sorry if you disagree, but I like to buy my games for fun and not for stress. If all those games above took off checkpoints, lives and gave us the ability to go back to the spot where we died from all those games would be much much better!.. idk about Donkey Kong or Uncharted tho, they'll just be less unfair.
Btw, it feels great to be back on VGCHARTS!
