So, I levelled everyone up to 100 in X, but I'm still somehow addicted lol. I'll probably just start sharpening my Pokemon skills with Battle Spot for the next few days.

 

Meanwhile, I've also been compiling some Battle videos from Battle Spot, so I wonder if I can put these into a video format and upload them on YouTube?

Been playing Eternal Sonata all day, might as well with my knee messed up, so far I'm really enjoying it!. And damn it looks so pretty on my 32' HDTV :3

I hope you don't feel the "Phantom Pain" on your knee when playing. You will be "Earth Heal"'d in no time. Look on the bright side, at least you didn't receive a "Bone Crumble".

As for the Jungle, it is definitely a good challenge. The Moss Hornets are actually threatening, and can easily swarm you if you are not careful while the Angry Trappers are good for putting pressure on you. The tortoises, while dealing heavy damage per hit, turned up to be easier than I thought with the Rainbow Rod.

 

Those Angry Trappers make blocking yourself in less feasible; I almost died my first 1.2 Jungle trip. I got down very low and with Potion Sickness turned on. I got back up to around 200 HP before I got ambushed by an Angry Trapper. I never liked Hornets either, but the Moss Hornets make me hate them even MORE. But I'd rather take 40-50 damage and get poisoned than have a Tortoise hit me from out of nowhere for insane damage, or an Angry Trapper with a mile long reach hit me cheaply from out of nowhere.

 

I swear with every update, the devs are getting smarter with players and their exploits. Hole yourself up and spam Nettle Burst? Nice try; the enemies go through terrain, are immune to knockback, do 100+ damage a hit and have several thousand HP. Oh, and I almost forgot; so much defense you wouldn't do more than 10-20 damage a hit without giving them Ichor debuff or having Spectre's offensive set.

 

I mean with the Pirate Invasion, I have a world set up where all you have to do is use a teleporter to go below a lava and trap zone and wait. If I tried that with a Pumpkin or Frost Moon, it would fail miserably since the enemies are too strong for the lava and traps. That and them going through blocks or having attacks that go through them don't help.

 

Anyway, in other gaming news, I recently got 52 Slayer in Old School Runescape and only need 3 more levels until I can use Broad Bolts (basically they're very powerful and inexpensive, but require 55 Slayer to use since there is a monster unlocked at level 55 that requires special weapons to even damage).

Started a three-heart Hero Mode run in A Link Between Worlds today. Beat all Hyrule dungeons and the Swamp Palace to get the mail, which'll make it a little less annoying. No deaths so far; fairy revives yes, but no deaths, and no resets to preserve that either. Cut it close a couple of times. Hoping I can keep this up through the entire quest, but hopefully I should be able to do it. More progress tomorrow.

I've done a 3 heart run on hero mode and I decided to never do one again, While I didn't die through the course of the game It really made the game much longer and harder since you have to really plan out what you are going to do. it was very intense that's all I can say... also  the low health heart beep will get maddening after awhile. Dx 

[TheLegend_njf]

You people and your 3 heart runs. ;p

Why don't you just play harder games? That's like playing final fantasy and run from every battle. Oh wait, people does that as well.

Dude! Lol

Anyways, I've been playing Zelda Classic quests these days. Over the past month I beat Promised Lands and Banana Blood God.

Trying to beat Isle of Rebirth but I had to skip level 10 and work on Level 11. I found Level 10 made me kinda nauseous (thus making that dungeon much harder for me).

I finally beat level 1 of FEAR. I had to abuse the Slow-Motion ability to get through the final fire-fight of the level, and it took several tries before I realized I was meant to run from Scary Little Girl afterwards.

 

I have to ask, in FPS games, am I honestly expected to save-scum my way through the levels? I mean, even with the ability spamming on that fight, I found out about the quick-save feature from one of the many game-over screens, and had to abuse that as well to get through.

 

I swear, I am not any good at these games. Maybe I should have tried something easier for my first serious outing.

Haha lol, i could go on about a list of tips and hints. But only if you wanted to.

 

Here's a blah of suggestions. But you dont have to listen to me

Spoiler

I dont know alot of FEAR, but there are some really bad fps's that you shouldn't start out with

 

Auto-saving is a big feature of progressive FPS's. But i generally dont auto-save spam at all. Also using the slow mo ability spamming. Thats kinda a normal thing. If the game lets you use it very often then i guess by all means. 

 

Have you tried turning down the difficulty in the game? If that was just the first level, then the game is only going to get harder.

 

A few good FPS imo that are good to start leaning.

 

Are Call of Duty: Ghosts.... BUT only against the bots. Since you can set them to be really simple.

 

The classic doom series/wolfenstien.

 

BF3/4, although there is not bots to practice on.

 

Quake Tornament is also a good one for building up your speed and accracy since most of the maps are fast paced but also allow you to train on bots.

 

Unreal Tournament GOTY edition. (The classic one that is) Has some relly good old school gameplay. And is one of the main games that increased my mouse accraucy and speed. Plus was heaps of fun to play with. etc

[Ventus]

I'm now at the end of Eternal Sonata... Well sorta, after getting the hero's crest I went and opened the dungeon Mysterious Unison up and I'm tackling it.

And also hit Party Level 6, damn those randomly changing command buttons... Oh I'll get used to it soon enough. Though I'm loving the harmony chains combo max is now 6!.

 

Also, after this game I might give Max Payne 3 a try. My brother said that it was good and also it was hard on easy mode... I might give it a try on hardcore mode you know because I'm crazy like that

I've been playing Infamous: Second Son. Really fun game so far. I'm about 50% done with it and I can't wait to play more of it during Spring Break!

[anikom15]

Getting those last golds in Rogue Squadron II: Ugh! just not hardcore enough.

Gonna play through Mega Man 4 after beating Mega Man: Dr. Wily's Revenge.

[The Satellite]

Freakin' Rogue Squadron man, now those were some good games. Well, the second and third; I only rented the first one briefly and never got far in it, but I own the second and third and love them. I oughta play through them again since it's been so long. Also they need to release a fourth.

 

Oh, uh, ALBW three-hearth hero mode progress: Only thing left to do now is Turtle Rock, Treacherous Tower, and Lorule Castle. I include Treacherous Tower because it's not a true 100% run without obtaining both the items and proving you can best that place with only three hearts. ... and on hero mode to boot.

Part of me kinda wants to get this. I have the original, got it for free in the PSN hacking aftermath, but never got around to it. I might actually try to play it when I'm back home. I live a short distance outside Seattle, so I'm really interested in seeing how faithful to reality the game world of Second Son is. Of course, this would require me to get a PS4, so playing it would be in the distant future, but eh.

 

As for myself, been playing through Professor Layton and the Azran Legacies slowly in my spare time. Holy cow, the game really jumped to the point fast. 30 minutes in and it's more exciting than the climaxes of some of the previous games.

Yeah, I've always really like the entire series. If you're able to play it, then I say do; I think it is a really great game. As far as I've heard, they made the game pretty close to what Seattle actually looks like, though I can't say myself if it is similar because I live pretty far away from that city. But yeah, I recommend the game to anyone who has a PS4 or is planning to get one.
