Hey, gimmie a break here, it's only the first dozen encounters. 😛

I managed to take Alma in NGB, only three or four years ago. 🙂

Think I'm starting to catch the groove a bit. You can spam three dodges in a row, and enemies are pretty slow to aim, so need to take advantage of that.

This might be hard for all the wrong reasons.

1. The dash move seems to have about a second animation lag between moves. In arenas with eight+ enemies and no cover, it becomes a game of luck.

2. I'm not sure the dash move even has any invincibility frames. This makes it kind of useless combined with the lag time, close quarters, and projectile spam.

I have this game on Steam, I just have yet to install it.

People would rather buy on Steam, then join Epics service. 😂

I probably would too, if I wasn't so very, very cheap.

Lol well I have epic too tho, maybe that is where I have it. I lose track of which games I have where. I have steam, gog, and epic. I guess I just assumed steam since most the games I have are on there.

I have "Hades" on Epic and have it installed.

Hyper Light Drifter still.

Kind of reminds me of a 2d sprite God Hand, on level 3. A world of gameplay differences, but the basics of getting your ass handed to you by groups, and needing to play defensive, are there.

Hitman 2. The newer one, not Silent Assassin. Loving it.

I can't beat Sigma's last phase in Mega Man X. It's so phucking bukshit and the fact that if I close the app I have to go through all 4 phases again is so infuriating.

Yeah, he's like that. Sigma has been blocking me in X4 for the past few years now.

I'd try it again, if I could remember where I stashed the PS1 disc.

Yeah, I'm dreading 100%ing X3 and X4.

I had the whole ps1 saga but little me was too impatient to figure out those games.

Switching to a 360 controller helps a lot.

You'd think this would be a natural for a PS2 dual shock, because of the art style, but the analog stick isn't up to it, and using the d-pad breaks the gun aiming.

What do you think of the 3d glasses effect in Arkham Asylum?

Tekken 7. Gifted, thank god, I'd be disappointed if I bought it.

I keep getting Akuma as a final boss in arcade mode. I assume there's a hidden true boss, like Shin Akuma or Oni or something, judging by his spazzing out after losing, but so far no luck getting to it.

Maybe this is all you get, but it's a missed opportunity if so. Akuma has almost always rewarded high level play with a hard as nails super final boss.

The Swapper.

Had it for awhile now, but needed compatibility mode on my last system. With proper visuals and lighting effects, the atmosphere is fantastic.

I'd recommend getting it, if you could. It's kind of a Limbo-esq game, where you create clones of yourself and swap into their bodies to complete puzzles, usually resulting in a whole lot of dead clones. And of course, your original body is long gone.

And yes, the game does touch on the philosophical implications of this.

Really? I haven't played it myself, but it was on my list as a future get when it was cheap enough, as I'd heard nothing but good things.

Might be ok for single player. Online, everyone uses Jack and his lag exploiting special moves. And they put you right in his face every round, so it's like:

Kick

*Mavhinegunpunch counter*

Jab

*Counter*

Low.

*Counter*

The things just broken, you can't do a thing while they spam you.

Ah okay. Yeah, I rarely play fighting games online.

Subnautica.

Don't want to spoil it, but this becomes a terrifying game.

TLOUR online.

Gears of War 3. Replaying on hardcore mode.

Because I can't find my 2 disc. And besides, 3 is pretty darned good, too.

I hope that with 5 coming out, they bring out the trilogy on PC in a box set.

Final Fantasy VIII. Loving it.
