The Sunshine one is so true. Preach!

Seriously Demolition Man took me, like, two tries - if that. Sure it's clunky but not even the hardest mission in that game by a longshot imo.

@Chromentur Right ? Demolition is one of the easiest Missions overall. There are way worse missions to complain about. That race inorder to recruit the Getaway driver for the bankheist for example. The rubberbanding in that was insanly unfair bs.

wait there are people that don't like the Maria Doria? that's like the best Tomb Raider level, the fuck

I'm good enough to 100% Mario Sunshine, so I speak with authority when I say that Yoshi's Fruit Adventure is some bullshit

@Vysetron I heard a lot voices saying the Maria Doria and everything surrounding it was bad. Imagine my surprise when I played the game as a first timer for my review and absolutely loved it. One of the best TR levels I have played so far.

@Lickiwrath I have never bothered to 100% Sunshine, still Ricco Harbor is a level I always get every shine in with little to no trouble. So I speak with authority when I say that Yoshi's Fruit Adventure is completly fine. Just use the spin jump with Yoshi. You dont even to bother much with creating any platforms, its not that hard.

Wait people hate Radahn? I've only ever seen love for him.

@videogamerguyhi Most definitely at launch people endlessly complained about him beeing unfair, to the point FromSoft patched him to be way easier. Maybe the discourse has finaly shifted, but I havent 100% kept up with the general ER community for about a year now.

i adore the Xen levels, you are so right about that. but the Thieves Guild? I respect you for having such a bold take.

I loved Shrine of Amana too 😁

DS2 is probably the DS i played the most 💪🏼

Regards.

Most levels in Thief The Dark Project are terrible anyway (not limited to Gold).

@gruel Except for the very final boss, I think Xen is pretty alright in the OG. I totally agree. Thieve's Guild I can see the problems people have, my first time I hated it as well. But taking a step back and actually looking at how everything is laid out, it's not as bad as people claim it to be. Not even the worst level in the game by a long shot.

@MrCervero Hell yeah DS2 is also my most played DS game. My first Souls game in general and I always thought Shrine of Amana was very cool. Thanks for the nice comment.

@Rogueliker I guess you just suck at stealth. Sad life bro.

@NovaNiles Nihilanth is such a badass little freak who has very enigmatic dialogue that i forget how tedious that fight can be. Interloper Rox though.

Also agreed. I think the Mage Towers is so much worse a level. i prefer the original Dark Project level orders, though, so i havent played any Gold level in years.

@gruel The idea of the Nihilanth and the design fkn rock but fighting him is so frustrating. I always wish for a way to just skip him. Interloper is very neat, I agree.

Mages Tower is cool story idea but gets tedious quick with the way you have to back track to the court yard after each Tower. The original order before Gold is probably way better, but I also dont wanna miss the Opera House. That is one of my favorite levels in the entire series.

@NovaNiles a few more thoughts:
dark souls 2 rules.

i used to hate the maria doria levels and i still think there are too many of them, but god they are kind of relaxing when you know where you are going. ultimate video watching levels.

@gruel First of all: Dark souls 2 rules.

Secondly: Right ? The atmosphere in those Maria Doria levels is so calming, with the blue color palet and all. Especially when get to run around at the bottom of the ocean outside the Ship wreck. Enemies are still super annoying but thats an issue TR2 has in every level.

Super Mario Sunshine: Lily Pad Ride

@Geno123 The lily pad ride is a fine little bonus level. I enjoy it. Thanks for the comment.

@NovaNiles if only half of it was a actual stealth game.

@Rogueliker most of it is a stealth game and combat can always be avoided. In fact you shouldnt fight in Thief 1 because combat actually sucks cock. The main reason why i have a small amount of levels in Gold i dont like. But thats why Thief 2 exists, much better game.

based souls takes

Shrine of Amana is the most peak part of dks2

He's objectively right too?

Could you rearrange your list so that it's not gridded? Hate having to hover over the notes - looks more organic the other way.

@RedBackLoggd I like the other way better. So you can hover the game you actually care about and dont have scroll through everything. Changed it anyway, might be easier for people in general. Thanks for the comment.

@Hresvelg Hell yeah, another based Sunshine enjoyer.

@_YALP Always. Thanks for the comment

@TimAlien Damn right its the peak of ds2

@Duke01 No, not really. I think objectivity is real but you can hate and like what you want. We can disagree, goof around and still be respectful. Its all good. Thanks for the comment.
