A Hat in Time
Afterglow Oct 9, 2018 @ 12:14am
I want Peace and Tranq. for final Death Wish.
To my surprise, Death Wishes like the parade have gotten an update that includes Peace and Tranquility option, but the hardest Death Wish in the game, "Seal the Deal," has not. It's my hope that this will be updated. I'm not sure why devs would give easier options for everything except the nigh-impossible challenge. I kind of feel strung along with a stick and carrot, there.

Its a final challenge for a hard mode for a reason, think of it like its the snatchers last chance to finally kill you and he wont let you take it the easy way.

what i think im trying to say is basically its a hard mode finale, its there to challenge you from everything you have learnt, trial and error is best way to defeat it :cupup::cuphead:

aka get your hopes and dreams destroyed people that had 100% the game before the DLC came out and will now never be able to do so because the devs put giant ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ challenges with a difficulty spike higher than anything the players could have ever expected.

You wanna know how hard Death wish is compared to the rest of the game? I did Ship Shape on Death wish with peace and tranquility enabled, and even then I still struggled quite a bit. After finishing the EASY MODE of that death wish, I went back to the original chapter, and I did the Minimum Shippable Achivement on my first try. That's right, the hard achivement of a challenging level was a lot easier than the easy mode of the death wish, and without bonus objectives even.

Its just so heart breaking how much time and effort you put into the game, just for it to pull a giant "♥♥♥♥ you" and make everything you do worthless.

the one thing i never see people mention is the fact that the devs would of had to finish the challeneges themselves with the bonuses to see if they were doable, death wish isnt made for the casual person but for the people who wanted a hat in time to be harder.

I see this alot but if you want your 100% save to stay like that simply dont install the dlc (im pretty sure the mode doesnt even count towards it, my laptop cant run the game during most missions so yeah) or just consider what that you dont need to prove yourself by doing it.

how i see it is that it isnt a big ol "screw you" but more or less them doing what they seemed challenging (its also called "death wish" for a reason)

I guarantee you that none of the developers have fully beaten Death Wish.

Developers don't test their games. Quality Assurance's testers do.

Actually they probably did play it, GfB is an indie studio after all. I remember building tracks in Modnation for PS3 that I thought were easy for me, but ended up being difficult for newcomers. The more you know a system, the harder it becomes to tell what’s too hard for everyone else.

It’s no secret that death wish is hard. It was advertised as such. Think about it more positively. You were able to grow some skills to make the achievement that is probably, for this game, the hardest to obtain discluding death wish easy.. meaning you showed improvement and can do better.
Cheat if you want. There are some badge mods which give you endless HP.

I some people have weird issues with completing games and doing stuff they dont want to do to get this stupid 100%.

Interesting. What are you doing differently than I am doing? I have died to that Death Wish 20 times, I thought it would have kicked in by now if it was going to at all. If I recall, all those deaths were to Mafia Boss, I didn't get past him. Yourself?

Edit: Nevermind. Today Peace and Trans. is an option. Yesterday it was not. Inexplicable, but it solves my problem. Closing the topic.

@others farther up in this discussion:
Say what you want about it being designed to be a challenge. Peace and Tranquility is specifically in the game to allow people who are not up for a tough-as-nails challenge to also enjoy this content if they want to.

with my bad wording yeah death wish is supposed to be a challenge but as i mentioned theres no need to prove yourself to people hence why peace and tranquility is there, if you still want to play it even if youre not skilled enough so everyone can enjoy it

If y'all don't mind me asking, what does Peace and Tranquility do for the final Death Wish? I've died 126 times and sank more than a couple hours into the accursed boss rush, and to be blunt, I'm tired of getting ♥♥♥♥♥♥ by attack RNG and 'Stache's many...many glitches. I'm strongly considering taking the easy way out, but I'm not sure if that'd be using some mods (e.g. health regen badge, SUPERHAT) on all or part of it or using Peace and Tranquility?

I wouldn't bother asking were it not for the fact that Peace and Tranquility's effects, from what I've heard (Made it this far without them, somehow) can be rather vague and even unhelpful at times.

Slow and consistent health regen. Not quite fast enough to soak up all the damage I'm taking.
CHAOS_FANTAZY Oct 12, 2018 @ 12:25am 
That sounds workable...if only it worked. Despite my many deaths, Peace & Tranquility still hasn't shown up over here. I bet it broke because I reset on the death it's supposed to unlock—I reset a lot while I was still learning Mafia Boss and the birds.

Oh well. Guess I'll make my own damn Peace and Tranquility.
