the last mission in this game is like a 15 minute climb up an enormous shaft filled with small moving platforms and about 20 security guns that will peck you off. After I finally emerged you fall into an empty enormous shaft while the final boss peppers you from 400 yards away with laser weapons. I don't think I have the stomach to ever attempt this level again lol

AC1s ending mission is brutal and I never got good enough to feel like i beat nineball legit, it was always just spamming heavy damage attacks and hoping hed walk into them.

Then you come across the second nineball afterwards.

I gave up climbing after like ten minutes and returned the game to blockbuster. Didn't know if there was even a fight afterwards

Phantasm is interesting, mechanically identical basically, but with way way better mission design already, and you climb the rankings by murdering everyone in the arena. Pretty cool. I've done 3 missions and my completion % is at 20% lol was this thing full price in 1998???? Could you imagine???

getting filtered by another final boss level. at least this time its just an arena w/ no penalty for dying. but after trying like 4 different strategies I just dont know how to beat this thing. seems like a combination of needing a particular weapon set to do damage + just pure RNG if he is going to spam the missile attack. even one salvo kind of ruins your spacing and movement options for the rest of the fight. stupid rear end in a top hat.

lower your weight, equip the bug reverse joint legs, and jump to dodge instead of boosting to the side

You don't really beat the game til you beat ng++.... the game handles both ng+ and ng++ excellently

it's an absolute crime that none of the 360 AC games are backwards compatible

That might be my favorite boss because it acts so differently from anything else and you have to completely change how you attack it. It's cool though because when you get to it again on ng+ you're so good at the game you'll probably kill it in seconds like a regular badguy, it's so satisfying lol

I went back to energy spam because it's fun but got clotheslined by BALTEUS. He and the final boss just melted against HARRIS+VE-60SNA. NG down.

also the fleet intercept mission was extremely cool, sweeping Freespace lasers everywhere
