[Bring Back Scalebound]

Impractical characters (to use), Impractical skills, Impractical ways of enjoying a game, everything impractical or gimmicky, that you feel attracted to.

My favorite skill in Final Fantasy IX is Lucky Seven.

For anyone that doesn't know, if you use Lucky Seven when the last digit of Zidane's HP is a 7, it will do a random amount of damage. 7, 77, 777, 7777

Needless to say, it's borderline pointless, and constantly looking at Zidane's HP everytime he gets hit, hoping to get a 7 with a gleeful look your face, so you can MAYBE do a mediocre to trash amount of damage (depending on which point the game you are), is pretty damn stupid.

Still my favorite though. And if you have an eye tracker on me, I'm looking at Zidane's HP 90% of the time.

I'll take link dog in twilight princess and midna it's still a radical approach to gameplay (dog, midna's powers)

The mermaid from Valkyrie profile... She is beautiful.

Playing Megaman X5 with vanilla X.

Sounds like Strago's Lore from FF6, he got L3 Confuse which inflicts Confuse if the target's level is multiple of 3, same with L4 Flare and L5 Death. The cherry on top: L? Pearl inflicts pearl damage if the target's level is multiple of... the last digit of your money.

He is probably the most gimmicky Blu Mage of the whole series...

My favorite gimmick is beating Mario 3 in under 5 minutes using the wrong warp strat.

Also, my favorite impractical gimmick hardware is the Steel Battalion controller.

The Cat Silencer in Postal 2.

 

[Ikutachi]

Changing the pitch of the Ocarina with Z, R, and the control stick.

 

[Generic]

Playing Megaman X5 with vanilla X.

X6 with vanilla X is even weirder.

using gyro to aim is little bit impractical, but for assist for aiming, such as archery in example : in BoTW, ToTK is fun... though not many who loves it.

Those people are luddites. It's better than sticks and almost as good as mouse.

I enjoyed using the nunchuck to pull off shields and stuff in MP3. I feel like very few games actually used the motion features of the nunchuck, and this felt badass during combat. And it worked surprisingly well.

I'll never stop loving you...

 

[Roberts]

The Cat Silencer in Postal 2.

Holy shit, you sent a probe into the deepest depths of my brain and brought back this memory.

DK Jungle beat and the bongo controller is a crazy impractical concept/pairing that's also somehow intuitive and fun as hell at the same time. Whoever the hell thought those up is a mad genius.

 

[cash_longfellow]

Every legendary gun in Borderlands 3.

 

[SHA]

Game shark and other cheating methods. It's fun and not fun at the same time.

Everything is fake according to Andrew Tate.

 

[Hudo]

PS2 Slim.

It's fucking useless since you can't play FF11 on it b/c no hard drive. Learned this the hard way.

I can feel my hands hurting just thinking about it.

 

[rabbity-thing]

LOVE both of them. They are super cumbersome.
