Those minigames...

[CheeryChill]

If there's anything I dislike in this game, it's the minigames.

The nearly and sometimes actually overwhelming numbers of enemies funneling in Journy of the Prarie King

Or clipping through the ground when you should have landed or spawning on a tiny spot which makes it impossible to jump from before falling to your death in Junimo Kart.

Now it could just be that these aren't my kind of games, I have bad luck or heck, maybe I just suck at them but they just feel annoying to attempt.

Is it just me or do others feel that these minigames are honestly a bit annoying?

Junimo Kart I definitely agree with, it's not the best mini-game ever created. But I didn't find Journey of the Prairie King to be that bad, it felt like an old school game with twin stick 8 direction shooting. Once you know some exploits and the maps, it becomes a little bit easier.

It's just you.
It's the arcade cabinets., Not some minigames.
And games on the arcade cabinets were soooo damn difficult (to eat up your money). And I think this is ecaxtly as it should be. You are not forced to play them and you dont gain anything special from beating them (except one thing, but if you dont like the arcade game, you wont like the item you obtain either :) )

Ah right. Arcade games. I mean I can understand that in reality. But nothing in the game suggests that the people of this town would set the machines up like that judging from anyone's personality. And yeah. I already know what the prize is. A friend spoiled that for me already. But like I said. even still. A for game within a game, being annoyingly hard just doesn't make sense. I should WANT to play these little things for a little bit of extra fun. But instead I just ignore them completely


But still. It's not even the difficulty when it comes to the minecart one. It just seems very poorly designed to me.


The prarie king, I admit is most likely just me. It's not like it's stupid hard. I just keep getting screwed while moving is all. Except once while playing with Abby. She respawned and it glitched out so we got completely stuck in the very middle of the area. Thank god it was only the first level because I couldn't move down to get to the next one if I wanted to.

Yeah. this exactly. The amount of times that I've called died from the cart spawning and immidietely falling to another death without even having a chance to jump because of having far too little space to do anythign. I can't even remember how many times.

With the Junimo Kart I have to agree. It is just not fair and I nearly smashed my keyboard while dying unfairly on the last gap before the end of the level. But when I finally made it and found out levels just loops (at least I think so), I lost my interest in the minigame.
With the Arcade excuse, I was just trying to find a reason why it is so hard anyway :D
And I kinda like glitches, because sometimes they can be on your side ;)

I played Jumino Kart once just to see what it was.

Never again.

Arcade game replicas in a game itself = mini games. I hate to be nitpicky but honestly they are mini-games. It's a side game inside a full game, so there is no need to call it something its not.

Yes, they are minigames, but in those minigames are portraited arcade games :D like in arcade cabinet.
Imagine in the future in some ultra mega VR game you find a computer and it will be rinning Dark Souls. It will be a minigame but the difficulty will simulate what is called hardcore today :)

But I think we all know what we are talking about.
Lets just agree on that the jumio kart is some unfair sh** :D

Here here! While I don't agree on the mini-game/arcade semantics. Junimo is indeed. Trash.

but in real life (90s) there are plenty of F***** hard arcade games... some of them is like Junimo Kart , you put a coin in it .... and never again
