Title: Most annoying game ever
Post by: flashstar1234 on February 21, 2009, 03:52:53 am
This is a new game on psp from the creators of Disgaea. Nippon Ichi have now given prinnies from Disgaea, their own game to star in. The game is a change from role-playing to platformer. In this game you get 1,000 lives to try and complete it, but you can't gain any lives and must complete the whole game before your lives run out. I bought this game yesterday and it is probably the only game I've played that has really pissed me off so much, to the point where I was about to chuck my psp on the floor. I wasted about 40 lives just trying to pass through an annoying gap in one of the levels. The game is titled Prinny:CIRBTH and is on psp.

Anyway, heres a screenshots of the game.

Has anyone beaten this game?

I started playing it yesterday and got to level 5 and yeah its one really hard game.
I checked gamefaqs and it said it was the most challenging (or one of the most im not sure  :hmm:​) sidescroller ever released.

this is the best thing NIS has put out in 5 years and it's causing a MASSIVE ripple in their fanbase as pretty much everyone who loves their generic strat games hates it.

it's basically a parody of capcom's ghost n goblins and all of those "hardcore" super hard pixel dodging platformers.  i love how they just give you 1000 lives to beat it knowing that you're probably going to lose all of them over the course of the game.  oh yeah

if you hated capcom's old DIE IN ONE HIT CAN'T CONTROL MOVEMENT MID-JUMP platformers then yeah you'll hate this to no end but i looooooved ultimate ghosts n goblins and this gave me my masochistic platformer fix.

That's an odd coincidence, I was watching a playthrough of the game on youtube wondering "what did people see in this?"

Storyline: Etna is in charge of your flock, and when she finds that her dessert has been stolen from right under her nose, it's up to you and 999 of your closest friends to obtain the ingredients for the Ultra Dessert.

If anyone plays this for the storyline then they have got serious problems.

Sounds like this is the game for me. It'd probably be the first NI game I've ever played too.

This is dragon's lair or w/e?? I had this for my atari ST it was on like 20 floppy drives and I liked the animation but couldn't make anything happen.

Yeah, this game will totally fuck you up in the patience department. I keep trying to rush in beating the bosses, but my impatience gets the best of me.

But some of the areas in the game are a bit nerve wracking, but I think the game is pretty fun none-the-less. I'm a fan of NIS works. (Though my opinion on em' changed a bit after the Ar Tonelico II incident(s).)

But this game is pretty fun if you have the patience, and just as one person said earlier, you WILL eventually lose all those Prinnies you've been friends with for so long by the end of the game, I'm down to 800 and I have like 7 hours left to get the ingredients to make the Sea of Gehenna Pudding to please Etna or else I'm screwed.

I heard you can fight Etna but I'm certainly not looking forward to losing 200+ Prinnies by fighting her. >_>;;;;

The 3DO version of Brain Dead 13 was the most frustrating, because no one told me that it was bugged to where you couldn't get past a part within the first 5 minutes of the game so I thought I was just doing it wrong and kept on doing it over and over again.  Basically the dude would run in the same direction no matter what button you hit.

I have Dragon's Lair for the 3DO too and I have never gotten past the first screen, part of me wonders if it was a bugged version too or if it just isn't a fast enough response and I should be hitting it way earlier.

But anyway, I'm glad NIS is trying something different--i.e., not making Disgaea again.  I never got the point of GRIND TILL LEVEL 99999 FOR NO REASON.  I probably wouldn't get this if I had a PSP though just out of bitterness of Rhapsody DS being a fucking BROKEN game (that would lock up in a place so you couldn't get past that part of the game, fail to save, and it was missing content they promised).  But, if NIS tries new things, even under the guise of Disgaea, until they finally start branching out to new franchises, there may be hope for them yet.

what!? this happens!? didn't they fix it and send out new ones??

I watched a few clips of Prinny and it looks really easy, so does it have some sorta limited movement/controls, or why would you put this up there with any GnG game?

I guess the one-hit kill mode is pretty unforgiving but still, you pretty much wipe the floor with the enemies if any of the gameplay clips are truthful.

I don't know because almost everyone that bought it right away was so pissed off about the missing promised content, on top of the bugs, that they didn't want new copies.  I don't know of anyone that was happy with Rhapsody DS.

it plays exactly like GnG meaning one-hit DEATH, you can't control your jumps (unless you double jump), there's a timer, and the platform elements get really tough.

I think I'd rather move a green dot across a screen than play Dragon's Lair.

i agree with you.  i bought the blu-ray editions because i'm a fan of bluth's work and the series (including space ace and thayer's quest) work much better as a continuous movie than a game BUT if i grew up in the 70s where the only game available was electric football i'd probably piss my pants seeing a cartoon i could control. 

dragon's lair is one of the highest grossing arcade games for a reason.

See I don't get this because Thayer's Quest (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thayer%27s_Quest) came out a year later, was a much better game and more interactive, and was still controlling a cartoon.  I have yet to figure out why Dragon's Lair was the one that became so popular.

They released a DVD version of Thayer's Quest a few years ago, I feel like I read about a blu-ray version but maybe that was just because I read about the Dragon's Lair one.

Mostly irrelevant but one time I was in a car equipment shop with my brother and they had a display screen that was part of some CD-player set and the demo clip was a sequence from this game, it was the weirdest thing I ever saw considering it was maybe 6 years ago and the game had long been forgotten already.

i recommend not buying the DVD version of those games because for whatever reason DVD's have this "pause" when they load new data.  the cd and blu-ray versions are closer to the original laser disc

I bought it just because it was used (therefore really cheap) and I thought it was interesting that they made it, if I actually want to play it I just play the 3DO version.

Marketing. Everyone knew about Dragon's Lair. Something being good doesn't mean it should be popular or the other way around.

I think it's pretty cool a game gives you a thousand lives and expects you to lose them all. Much better than the old way of designing those anyways... Do you respawn where you died or back at the start of the level?

there are checkpoints, dood.  you prinny stomp them and when you explode a new prinny takes over, dood.

Finish the game then say that. The trailer you saw was probably of the training level at the start.

The game is pretty simple on normal mode but FFFFFFFF hell mode is downright frustrating.

Did I mention the game gets harder based on the time you play levels?  You have a "10 hour" timer to beat the game; every time you beat a level, the timer goes down and time (day/night cycle) advances.  Different monsters and challenges appear at different times.  At night, the super hard monsters appear and the levels start to shift under your feet.  You also fight different bosses (for example, you fight a dragon in the magma place during the morning and the dragon's ninja trainer in the evening).

There's a new game + and a couple of unlockables for pulling off certain maneuvers.  For example, losing all 1,000 prinnies lets you obtain the prinny bomb maneuver which does massive damage but you lose a life every time it's used (you basically launch your buddies who aren't wearing the scarf*).

*the scarf is a story element.  prinnies normally explode at the slightest touch so etna gives you a scarf that makes you more durable.  when a prinny dies, another prinny takes over as the scarf wearer.

This game is alright, although I was having a few "ARGH WHY DON'T YOU MAKE THAT DAMN JUMP MEGAMAN!!!" moments.

After getting the second or third ingredient, talk to the Prinny with the trumpet.

When I got this game, I was expecting it to at least have some rpg elements in the game, like levels and equipment but the only rpg element is talking to other prinnies, that's probably why fans of Nippon Ichi games hated it.

It would be great if Nippon Ichi could make a rip off of GTA, called Grand theft Prinny. I'd like to see what a prinny with a machine gun and sun glasses would look like.
