RPGs are really the only games that kick you in the nuts when you mess up. Final Fantasy is infamous for letting you play for 45 minutes then kicking your ass, promptly kicking you back to the title screen once you die.

Such a bad feeling.

Reminds me of how your dad would call to remind you to save your game in earthbound.

Yeah I came in to mention Prey. The only game where the punishment for dying is to play a crappy 15 second mini-game, and then come back exactly where you died. What's the point of having difficulty levels?

It would be more realistic if after every death you had to pay your character's medical costs before he could be revived. A slight microtransaction goes a long way when it's teaching gamers about the healthcare industry.

Dragon Quest?

Well...in DQ they actually always did snatch half your cash after revival. The assumption is tht the monsters stole it back.

Dragon Quest?

Yea. They took half of your money before you were brought back to life. I loved how they handled bosses that had multiple forms.
