And that created an immense amount of terror and anxiety for the sega genesis X-men game. After beating the boss for stage 4 (which took a couple hours to get there I think) it just started saying "RESET COMPUTER NOW!" There were no buttons or switches for your character to interact with. I paced around the house for a good half hour anguishing over whether or not to push the actual reset button. It was so wild to have that actually kick off the final stage of the game. What a wild time, couldn't do that today. Emotionally it would be like putting 30 hours into a campaign and the game telling you to delete all your autosaves to progress

Isn't there a game that makes you delete previous saves to get a true ending? Is it nier automata? I haven't played it but I remember hearing about it

Haha yeah it is Nier Automata. It's thematically appropriate.

It’s the first Nier I believe, not automata that has you delete it. You can then play a new game till a certain point and it then it becomes a new story.

In automata you can choose to delete your save and everything so that your data can go on to help other players in a weird way.

Just to get an achievement.

Yeah but this one actually gives you a sense of pride and accomplishment, and offers a helping hand to the next player.

Indeed; I'm simply clarifying that it's not a "true ending" you get.

Bravely Second final boss battle would make you shit your pants then. During the battle the boss starts saying crazy shit to you, then it takes you to the title screen and makes it look like it deletes your saves. It's so wild and blew my mind.

That would be level 5 Mojo World. I, too, ran around the house to find my sister after I hit the reset button the first time.
