Lightchao42 Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 I had a random thought, is Shadow of the Colossus a kaiju game? It has giant monsters in it, after all. Sixteen of them, which would make it an automatic inclusion in Armagon's masterpiece club. Maybe it's another "Is Die Hard a Christmas movie?" thing. Anyway, it's technically Xenoblade 2's fourth anniversary so hooray! And this time, Pyra and Mythra are in Smash to commemorate the occasion. In Terraria, the fourth Mothron I defeated gave me the last item needed for the Terra Blade, so I tested it on the unlucky Solar Eclipse enemies. I found plenty of other useful items too: two Moon Stones (increases stats at night), a Butcher's Chainsaw, a few Toxic Flasks, and two Eyes of Cthulhu (the second best yoyo in the game). I'd like to see Plantera try to defeat me now. 51 minutes ago, Armagon said: This is the only time where the potential polygamy option is based. I think the implication is that Rex gets with the one whose name you used for Coffee with Milk, but he's implied to have feelings for both, so... Spoiler Or perhaps, maybe Pneuma should've come back instead, and her and Rex's resulting children would be identical to Pyra and Mythra...? Maybe we shouldn't go there. 35 minutes ago, Acacia Sgt said: Ah, I'd say, just about the only prospect of the job I didn't like is the 12-hour workdays. It's countered a little by only being four days a week. Not that it's a big confort. I'd take working almost the entire week if it meant less hours per day. Oh well, at this point beggars can't be choosers. It took me months to have this chance, better not waste it since who knows when another might show up. The real question you need to ask yourself is, does your job give you a chair? Not standing all day is an important benefit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far, its gameplay isnt too bad, honestly! The inflation is kinda insane, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Way too tanky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sooks Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 So, that’s 3x. It’s… basically the same, still boring and short. Yeah, Wrys barely survived (one more turn and he would have died), but he was pretty much always gonna live because of Palla and Draco Arran. It was never really intense as a result, since those two are an insta-win button here and, effectively, your only way to win on this difficultly. So yeah, chapter still boring.

One thing I really like is the nerf on the petrify status. The game didnt need a status that forced a unit out of the game for a while and once they were hit, see ya. 30% chance isnt fair still, but much more managable.

I wasn't quite as impressed by the game as some are. TBF, I hadn't gone in blind, which could've readily downgraded the experience. Not to say it was bad, just overhyped on my end. Nowadays, artsy indie games are plentiful, stick your open palm into the ocean of Steam or even consoles, and you're bound to come up with a bunch of short & immersive marlins. Back with Shadow of the Colossus first released though (2005), it was unusual. Minimalist yet evocative, it surprised the gaming mainstream, and thus won its great deal of accolades. By the time Team Ico's third title The Last Guardian (2016) released (the first being Ico in 2001), the video game marketplace had changed radically. And TLG, in addition to whatever faults the game itself had, could not possibly have hoped to have the same monumental impact its spiritual predecessor had enjoyed. In part, because Shadow of the Colossus was responsible for altering that landscape (alongside some other unrelated indie/artsy titles that had caught popularity).

It's the same almost everywhere. Like: Can you tell me this is Massachussets or a disfigured England? There are two types of settlement names, the first being names that describe the geography of the settlement, and the second being a name inspired by another settlement.

Sooks Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 So on hard mode, Sirius and Co.‘s part of the map is easy peasy since Sirius one rounds literally everything. On maniac mode…. what?

The easy solution is to use rescue on a tanky Kris to take out the enemies for them, although I don't know how tanky your Kris is if reclassed to something like cav.

Acacia Sgt Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Okay, I've mostly gone through the entire Presidential Metro to reach Adams Air Force Base where the Enclave is.

You're also presumably fast enough to double the pirates even if you reclass, although I don't know your reclassing options without the extra male set option for beating the game once. Worst case scenario, you actually have to manage with just Sirius and Ogma. I'm sure you'll manage...after probably 7+ attempts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acacia Sgt Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Okay, reached the end of the metro, time to being the final assault on the Enclave at Adams AFB. Though that will be for another day.
