More then one ending?

[Squire Grooktook]

The ending I got after speeding through the game is rather abrupt. I'm wondering, does this game pull a Demon's Crest and reserve a true ending for players who find all secrets? I could find out myself, but I'd rather know before spending an eternity hunting every secret lol.

Yeah, the 100% ending has a bonus cutscene which imo is quite badass.

^^^Thanks, might just wait for a video of it or something if that's all, since I don't have time for hunting lol.

After you beat the last form of the final boss, the castle is just shown blowing up, and that's it. Roll credits.

Why isn't anyone just posting a video on YouTube with the game's ending. I would be really relieved. I feel like I'm about to shred this game's files from my comp any second now.

The game is good but I don't really like it enough to go through all that work. It's a solid 7/10 for me. But there are games other games I'd rather put time and work like that into.

So I guess you are not worthy of behold the true ending my friend. XD

But serisouly, play it, the acomplishment sensation is very good! Better than see it on youtube at least...

I don't get much of a sense of accomplishment for playing scavenger hunts with items in a fairly easy game.

And I've had my fair share of accomplishments.

me no death running Ninja Gaiden 1

me no death running Ghouls and Ghosts

me no death running contra 3 on hard

etc. there's more on my channel. I'm no stranger to accomplishment, as you can see. Not trying to sound elitist, I just ain't some newbie is all :3

Personally, I don't really care about a sense of accomplishment though. For me, the road is more important then the destination. The moment to moment excitement of a game is what I play for, and the excitement I felt while playing the above games was what made me keep playing them. Not a desire for accomplishment.

Odallus was okay. I liked the art a lot, but didn't find the combat or basic mechanics too engaging. I liked what the story was going for at first, but it kind of went nowhere. I enjoyed it, don't regret playing through. Don't think I'd do so again though.

If you say so, but I still like to remember the game as a whole, how I played and scavenged every inch of it, and how I saw that ending the few people saw ingame, I don't like to discover later that it had another ending, a true ending and I didn't see it, or have to see on youtube, I fell like a loser, like I haven't beaten the game at all.

Plus the veteran mode is really hard and it poses more chalenge, make the 100% in this mode is really something and if you say that you had this "no death" achiev in this games you would enjoy this as well, unless it's fake(knowing that a great number of "no death runs" in games nowadays are fake and edited you will have to pardon me for being such a skeptic, sorry old gamer things. XD), because people that inflict themselves such challenges do not think that a game such as Odallus is not worth something like this.

I must admit too that I forfeit Oniken in harcore and boss rush, that sh@$ is really for maso people. XD

My recent Alien Vs Predator 1 credit clear was done on a live stream. I don't see many "fake" runs like that, unless you're counting longplays, but those are not "fake" so much as just showing off the game, and if you read the description they say as much (same for "TAS" speed runs, which are just showing off ways to break the game via programmed inputs, and are marked as such). Actually a simple no death run is not terribly impressive if you're comparing it to say, the vast number of live speed runs and such which push the game to its limit.

Anyway, a game never makes me feel like a loser, and that's part of why I'm fairly above average at games: I never stop playing just because I feel intimidated or because I'm dying a lot. But I only keep playing when I legitimately like the game in every regard. I'm not going to be bored out of my skull for 10 hours wandering around a map looking for items that have absolutely zero worth or interest for me just so that I won't feel like a "loser" by watching a video of an okay game on Youtube. Doing poorly on a school test, that makes me feel like a loser. Not a video game.

Like I said, I liked Odallus, but not enough to return to it. The level design is "okay" the slashing animation feels weirdly laggy (despite the fact that you can jump cancel it, which means you basically jump cancel it every time because there's no reason not to and it'll let you move again quicker...no idea what the reasoning behind that design decision was). There were no interesting gameplay gimmicks to make it stand out (at least nothing that hadn't been done better before in past Metroidvania's), and the interesting dark fantasy story copped out too hard by reducing everything to simple good vs evil at the end. It's a nice, pleasent experience, but the art is the only thing memorable/special about it IMO.

^^^Of course, that's all just my opinion. But I have thousands of games that are hard and have accomplishment. If a game wants me to play it over those other ones, it better do more then just say "do all these fetch quests! You'll feel accomplished if you do!". I got real magnun opus's to play like Alien Soldier, The Ninja Warriors Again, Rastan Saga, Hagane, Aquales, Rocket Knight Adventures.etc. If I'm going to sink a lot of hours into a game, I'd rather spend them playing something fun and exciting then wandering around a map I've already cleared.

Sorry man, but this discussion is going nowhere fast, I could tell you that clear a map is not the same as to explore it, I could tell you that the secrets are a little harder to get, I coud tell you that exists some part o the story in the runestones in the map that is uncovered when you get it but I supposed that you opinion is resumed only to: "I play if I find interesting no matter if it's hard or not.I can see the rest on yourube." so I think that we aren't in the same page here. No point discussing it anymore. Bye!

PS: call me a competitive guy but I want to excell in everything I do, or at least feel satisfied with myself in my performance, be it on college tests or in a really dificult game like Dark Souls(that is a game with no ending or purpose but still it felt really good to finish it), But I really don't make vids or stream of it, because I don't have to prove it to noone except myself.

So I'm not saying that you are a loser not to do it, but I felt like it until I've done it completely. I don't like the felling of not having made everithing that I could in something. That's my opinion too, but it makes the difference in various aspects of my life in comparition os some other people. it's how I feel with myself, I'm not criticizing you in any way just to stay it clear, ok?
