Other than the Boost Ball Guardian and maybe the Spider Ball Guardian there are no bosses to complain about in that game, and if you are playing the trilogy version they are nerfed along with several other bosses anyway. :[

Coincidentally I just bought MP3 and am enjoying it immensely. I had doubts about the control scheme (the only other Wii games I own are No More Heroes 1 and 2, and Madworld, so I was never confronted to the aiming-at-the-screen concept before), but it's spectacular in almost every regard. Firing missiles and switching visors is a little awkward, though it's possible I have my giganto hands to blame for that.

I enjoyed MP2 a great deal, but it was getting same-y with the original, what with all the blatant weapon/enemy model swaps and outright reskins. I think that's what kept me from checking out Corruption for that long, but it's still basically a top-notch game on its own.

I'd say Corruption is on par with MP1, if not better, honestly. Took me a while to get used to the controls--I'd beaten MP1 a ton, MP2 a few times--but after my initial "whoa what the fuck is this oh god" it turns out MP3 plays really really well. And it's fun.

I finished No More Heroes 2 after shelving it for a little while. Inferior ending sequences to the original game, but it would be pretty hard to top the nonstop insanity and revelations that came there, and the quiet note on which it ends feels nice just the same after the over the top final boss battle.

That said, fuck bosses with one-hit kill attacks.

Can I note that we had a serious discussion about the lack of a general game-playing dump thread while this one was here the entire time?

Niku · « **Reply #85 on:** March 22, 2010, 09:20:47 PM »

I was personally just waiting for the egg on the face and then I guess nobody noticed.

My Backloggery's a lot more robust now.

I finally started Super Mario Galaxy on Saturday, and then I beat it yesterday. I think I will slowly get all of the stars before I get the sequel.

Metal Gear Solid 4 was fun. Maybe now I should start playing all of the other PS3 games I bought and forgot about after tearing off the shrink wrap.

Edit: 3D Dot Game Heroes has a Metal Wolf character, and I just found a MWC reference. :3

Oh hey I was looking for a thread to use as my dump thread to mention I beat MGS4 and here's Smiler talking about it so YES I AM FOLLOWING THE FLOW OF THIS CONVERSATION.

I got the rank of "Eagle" which pleases me personally, even if it's just something that's awarded to anyone who goes through the game tranqing everyone they meet in the head.

So the final boss fight of AC2 has you beating up a pudgy old man. Who is also the Pope. In the basement of the Vatican, which was built on top of an alien bunker. Still, up to that point, it was a fun ride, with some neat callbacks to the first game, and lots of improvements in the gameplay department. Going back now for achievement scrounging/100% completion stuff.

Also, we stopped worshiping the sun and now it is PISSED, so it's coming to kill everyone. Or something. It's hard to tell exactly what's going on when they have so many batshit crazy conspiracy theories jumbled together. Still, Brotherhood looks like it has some neat tweaks to the formula, and stabbing dudes in the head never gets old.

AC2

Armored Core 2? Asheron's Call 2?

NexAdruin · « **Reply #92 on:** November 02, 2010, 03:29:33 AM »

Assassin's Creed 2.

Ted Belmont · « **Reply #93 on:** November 03, 2010, 07:44:56 AM »

Right, probably should have clarified. Yeah, Assassin's Creed 2. It was a fun ride! I have all but one achievement now, and unfortunately, it's one you can't go back and get without replaying the game from the beginning or buying the DLC.

Beat New Vegas.

Beat New Vegas.

Beat New Vegas and hit Level 30.

Still need to Beat New Vegas, Kill Everyone In The World, and Farm 9 Achievements before I beat New Vegas.

Beat Henry Hatsworth. Unlocked HARD Mode, holy shit.

Started Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box.

oh is this the new dump thread well okay

I got a pair of good old games off of good old games dot comm: Planescape: Torment and Septerra Core. The latter, I've been wanting to play since I heard about a decade ago. It always felt like it was the sister game to Shadow Madness, which I always loved despite it not being very good.

As for Planescape: am I supposed to just... tolerate the the combat? Like, you know, something I'm just supposed to power through in order to get to the actually worthwhile conversation-based gameplay?

Basically. Getting more companions and completely breaking the combat system makes it a lot more manageable later on, but it's pretty rough for a while. Thankfully, enemies don't respawn in the vast majority of areas, so once you get through it, you don't have to worry about it again.

This is exactly the case, yes. Focus on mental stats, not physical stats, because they matter for conversations, and throw mage spells at things you need to have die.

I managed to get through New Vegas four times before I got burnt out. Fucking awesome game but boy do I never want to do goodsprings/primm/nipton/novac again

My biggest beef with the early game is that you are subjecting yourself to severe, dry anal rape if you piss off the NCR, since you're locking yourself out of half of the vendors in the game. This means no siding with the powder gangers, no wiping out forlorn hope, etc, etc. I started a legion playthrough and got bored with maintaining my NCR rep pretty fucking quick.

Between leveling my first 80 up in WoW I have been playing Dead Space and Demon's Souls. That is a lot of zombies/demons.
