Tali'Thread vas Clan Zorah nar BSN 6.0

[TheodoricFriede]

Put Lady Butterfly down in 4 tries. Then I got to Mr. 7 Spears. After beating him for the first time, that's the exact moment I quit. Up to 6 tries on him. Fucker.

Thats fine, just summon someon-- Oh you cant do that...

Well maybe if you just grind out some level---Ohhh you also cant do that...

Maybe if you change your build and upgrade your weapo---OOOHHH YOU ALSO CANT DO THAT!






IT'S A GOOD THING THOSE OLD SOULS GAMES NEVER HAD DIFFICULTY LEVELS!

[TheodoricFriede]

So I tried the Resident Evil 2 Remake Demo and I have to admit I dont really understand it.

Conserving ammo seems important, but there are times when killing the zombies seems absolutely necessary to even search a room.

Well aimed shots seem important, but the aiming is slow, and the Zombies move so erratically that it took three tries to hit one with a shotgun blast.

Shooting them in the head doesn't seem to do anything, but shooting them in the legs untill the legs are gone doesn't actually seem to slow them down significantly.

It seems well crafted, but I dont think the series is for me. I dont really 'get it'. Nothing I try seems to be the correct option.

[Mobius_118]

So RE3 is coming out, and the RE2 remake got updated with a couple snippets with Jill Valentine.

Sweet deal. The game really does stand out as one of the best remakes out there.

[Vol]

@Theo: I don't know what segment of the game the demo is pulled from, so it's hard to give specific advice. But in general, you kill as little as you can get away with, and don't bother engaging Lickers and such unless you have to. In the 100% no hit, no item box runs I've seen, there's a specific few enemies that are killed. As I played it, methodical and thorough, I had a shitton of ammo to spare by the last third.

Headshots stagger, so you can run past a zombie. Sometimes they crit and blow their head up instantly. Leg shots will generally blow the leg off quicker than headshots will kill, which put them on the ground, easier to avoid.

It's not communicated super well, but it's _survival_ more than action, at least until later on, or if you're a great shot. But it's not for everyone, no. Took me a little while to get into it too. Didn't "click" until over halfway into my first playthrough.

@Mob: Eh? How's Jill in it?

[Mobius_118]

There's a bit during Leon's run when you go through Kendo's gun shop and there's a new note from Jill. RE2 and RE3 run somewhat concurrent, so there's crossover in the new game where there wasn't in the old games. We'll see how far it goes in the RE3 remake, but I'm excited.

[Vol]

Nifty. If I recall, RE3 starts before RE2, then when you-know-what happens, it jumps past RE2, until the obvious end of the Raccoon City story. Given how effective Mr. X was, in mood more than actual threat anyway, I'm hoping Nemesis is a fucking terror.

[Mobius_118]

Mr. X was pretty effective, considering you couldn't kill him until the end when he went full thicc daddy and spanked you pretty hard.

[Vol]

It was more that he wasn't lethal enough when he caught you given how easy it was to duck him. In terms of atmosphere, he got my ass moving real fast, or hiding out in a safe room.

I did get a big laugh out of how Birken fucks him up super easily in...Claire B I think. And then in HUNK, 2 at once in that hallway, good luck.

Hope they keep the final level from the old RE3, with the room full of tyrants and special forces.

We shall see. From earning the AR from the first game, Jill, for her STARS experience, can't handle an M4 for anything. Hopefully they fix that.

Beat Seven Spears, mainly by doing the thrust counter while baiting him, and dousing him with oil + fire when he whiffs his big swing. Punishing with the overhead slash. Took a few tries, still pissed at that fuck. Exploring the castle at long last, the roof ninjas are real cunts. Especially the dive bomber whose warning cue I thought was ambient screaming. The samurais inside aren't too bad, mostly a skill check. Then the elite one in the attack, fuck if I know the ideal strategy for him, I just managed to out damage and out heal him, barely, like a chump. Was jumping around the roof, got locked into the cutscene for round 2 with Genchichoro, which I was not ready for, but did get through phase 1. Phase 2, tried to do the lightning thing, timing is way too tight for a first try.

"WOOOOOOO" ninja is probably the only thing in the game I can say I enjoyed without 15 asterisks afterward.

There's heavy rumors going around that Capcom is planning to revive some of their dormant IPs, like Bionic Commando, Darkstalkers, and Dino Crisis, among others, either in the form of reboots, or remakes like what they did with RE2 and are doing with RE3.

There's also a fan-made remake of Dino Crisis been worked on:

Personally I'm hoping and praying for Okami.

[Vol]

Okay, left big G to chill for a bit, explored all the other paths in the game. Bosses have a real weird difficulty curve. Got to the top (?) of Mt. Senpou, got the scroll for a new skill tree. I really thought there'd be, you know, a boss. Something about another magic kid up there. There's a 3-story pagoda in the memory world I still can't figure out how to get too. Spooky-land, took me a while to figure out the zombie guys just need to...Die Twice. Can't touch that magical ghost fucker in the pit. Need more divine covfefe for the headless fat boy, not sure where to find it. Haven't seen a general in a while either. Or the giant snake. Hit a dead end after I got through leper cannon gauntlet, hit a locked door. Found the friendly fat boy who I need to hook up with the salt merchant, not sure how. There must be more content on the mountain, so I must've missed a path. Then I looked at a 100% playthrough video, just to get a feel for where I am, and based on the timestamps I'm less than halfway through the bosses somehow.

[TheodoricFriede]

Okay,

Depending on what ending you want there are several paths you can take.

[TTTX]

well it's the 24th december that when we Danes celebrate Christmas so Merry Christmas everyone.

[Alienmorph]

And I just slapped the presents for my family under the tree, even tho I had a voice in my head telling me I should have spent the money to buy me a Switch or a new graphic tablet instead.

I'm just not enough Scrooge-ish to do me some good, I guess...

Oh well, Merry Christmas everyone.

[Vol]

@Theo: Yeah, look up how many there are without learning the specifics. Looks like 4, one of which would end the game real quickly. The most complicated looks like the only use for the 2 viscera I've picked up, no idea what it involves. Just got to the spooky Mibu Village, think I'm nearly through it, so I should be hitting the end game soon.

@TX: Then a very Merry Christmas to you and the Danes! Enjoy the snow!

@Alien: I dropped a bit more than I expected on family this year too. Hey, even if I'm a terrible family member, I do get them presents if they want one. Buon Natale!

[TTTX]

@TX: Then a very Merry Christmas to you and the Danes! Enjoy the snow!

I wish there was snow to enjoy!

Don't forget to celebrate Emperor Day too!

[FrozenShadow]

It's Christmas here, so Merry Christmas everyone!

[TheodoricFriede]

so I should be hitting the end game soon.

No to mention the most fair boss fights ever put in a video game.

Oh they are so very fair.

[SciFlyBoy]

It's Christmas here, so Merry Christmas everyone!

Merry Christmas to you.

@ Alien & Vol: I actually spent little money this Xmas since I had so little. But I ended up smoking a lot of different meats and making a ton of food, so everyone is enjoying it.

Merry Christmas to everyone who celebrates.

[Mobius_118]

Happy Holidays, folks.

[Dragaros]

Have a fun holiday season, y'all. Relax and recharge. Stay safe if you are traveling, enjoy some company with your loved ones, eat some good food, and may any gifts you receive be more than just socks!

[Vol]

The clock has struck midnight on the east coast, a very Merry Christmas to all! Have a great one CZ, and given most of you are in a timezone ahead of me, enjoy the rest of yours! Ho ho ho!

[Vol]

No to mention the most fair boss fights ever put in a video game.

Oh they are so very fair.

Corrupted Monk pissed me off something fierce. Even the secret deathblow to instantly get through phase 2 wasn't enough to make me enjoy that fight. Hoot was more fun. Then I cleared out the fish people area, got to just before the 3 bonfire, one of the fish guys does some move I can't see because my camera's locked into a deathblow on the chanter next to him, but it locks my resurrection, locks all my powers, and I'm enfeebled and stand there until someone hits me. I was pissed. Do it all again, get on the roof, do a drop attack on the arcane blazing bull...only does a quarter of his bar. Why he doesn't just have 2 bars of health instead is beyond me.

[TheodoricFriede]

I think there is a 'cheese strategy' for that specific bull, but I dont remember what it is.

And if you thought that the Corrupted Monk was bullshit, well baby, you ain't seen nothin yet.

[Mazder]

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and all that good stuff to everyone!

You're all wonderful, even when we disagree, fight and argue, I still would never want you gone!
Have a great holiday season and I hope 2020 is better for all of us!

[magnuskn]

Merry christmas to y'all as well from Germany.
