Okay the Homie Conversation between Matt Miller and Veteran Child is the best. Veteran Child thinks Matt is another revived boss like himself, but gets pissed when he finds out the Saints not only gave him another chance, but also let him join them.

That basically sold me on the Nolan North voice when I heard it. He's an rear end in a top hat like the other voices but he's so pleasant about it. I've never been the biggest fan of his but he did a great job in this game.

Apologies, I checked back some but must have missed it.

Anyway, speaking of SR2, I think it's kind of insane that people think it's the best. SR2 is so love/hate for me, there's a lot of fun stuff but there's a side of it that's a total drag, and I just find the story super uninteresting. SR4's story is stupid as hell but in a really engaging way, I actually want to know what's going to happen. It's the game that has really found its voice from a comedic angle, and at times it knows when to throw some heart in so we know it's not just something you laugh at but that it gives you a reason to care.

SR4 also, at least for me, doesn't have a bad spot in it. I love all of the activities, it gives you a fun way to move around the city, and it feels like a playground rather than a sandbox that punishes you for loving around too much by throwing gangs and police at you. SR4 is a culmination of everything the series has learned not just from a gameplay perspective but in story as well. The fat has been cut, the fun has been found, the humour has matured. It's so great, seriously.

Oh, don't feel bad, I was just poking fun. I actually find it hilarious to see it every other page, I love imagining the look one people's faces when they figure it out.

I think this is probably the best note I have ever had a series end on. That was a blast and I am happy this is where it ends up.

On the platforms that are the same height, do not charge your jumps unless absolutely necessary and use the air glide to aim your boss to the center of the platform. For almost any other platform in the challenge, a half charge combined with a glide will net you a bulls-eye. Also make sure you're always charging mid-glide, that way you're ready to jump to the next platform as quickly as possible.

On the hard platform rift, make sure you double back in the mid-section of the challenge and hit all of the arrow platforms before you progress to the next section.
On the platforming rifts, Air Dash is probably a better friend to you than Glide. By moving backwards while in a dash, you can brake your speed. That way you spend less time charging jumps, because the dash lets you move pretty much sideways, so you need less altitude. Once you get a sense of how much to brake, it becomes quite easy to hit the center, and since you are dashing, you shouldn't be very far over the platform anyway.

Only downside to this I've found is if you have multiple Air Dashes unlocked, you have to be careful you don't grace the movement controls and do a second one off to the side.

Loving the game thus far. Spend the weekend marathoning a French girl through (got 90%, which is way more than I expected, but I got lucky on a few challenges). Now I'm doing Brit Boss, and this time I've decided to always have homies along (for some reason I didn't think to do this until almost at the end last time), and only complete stuff as they pop up in sidequests. Doing Kieths tasks and listening to him trying to make his flimsy excuses for why this is exactly like campaigning was great fun, and made me regret later that I did a lot of them on my own.

Btw (end-mission spoiler)gently caress whoever made the controls for the base jump in the power suit work backwards. I must have spent 10 attempts, even reloading old saves, because I was convinced it was glitching and starting me too close to the wall. But no, of course when your boss floats towards the bottom of the screen, she is actually moving in the opposite direction! Bah, I say

I seems I will need to also do a Female 1, Male 1 and Southern Belle run, since I don't like swapping voices mid-game and want to hear it all. At least I know what to do with my spare time for the foreseeable future. Not looking forward to collecting a bazzilion clusters again though.

I think maybe originally they were going to be flame weapon skins and the text didn't get changed in Kinzie's line. They are, in fact, golden weapon skins for some of the alien weapons (you get another unlock for the rest of the alien weapons from finishing a certain number of challenges in total). Flame skins would have made more thematic sense given the requirement, really.

Thinking about it, I know Yuri Lowenthal's a good VA but goddamn does he do a great job as Matt to the point where I went from not giving a poo poo about Matt to him being my favorite of the crew. I think what sealed it was the absolutely childlike glee Lowenthal has in the loyalty mission which results in what was, hands down, the funniest line in the game for me.

I never liked Matt as a character, so I am biased there, but his loyalty mission made sure he was stuck on the ship and ignored forever afterwards. I only did it to satisfy completionist me, and in case it came up in the end game somehow. I know bad fanfic was the the whole point, but hell if I wanted to listen to 20 minutes of it, or however long that took. In the immortal words of Shaundi and Kenzie: gently caress. That.

Assuming this game has dozens of mini-DLCs like the last one did, I hope one of them is just the addition of a "Zinyak Sings the Hits" radio station. I'd pay $2.00 for that.

EDIT: Also the bounce rifle is so brokenly strong. It just keeps getting better as you acquire new powers. Now I buff myself with ice, and in two squeezes of the trigger entire flashpoints get erased. It's insane.

I feel like that gun gets a little worse with the double fire, it overheats really quickly and I don't feel like it increased my killing power much. That gun is a lot of fun. I wasn't really feeling this game for the first couple hours. Every time I started having fun there would be a huge slog until the next bit of fun. But after some point I just started going around the map and doing everything on it and it is so loving fun. I played this game for at least 10 hours today and I was shocked when I looked at the clock. I've barely played any console games this year.

Does anyone have advice for actually completing a Telekinetic Catch? The fact that it's a challenge suggests it should be a simple game mechanic, but I have yet to pull one off. I just get hit in the face with whatever the Warden throws at me.

That's one of the stupid ones, because it doesn't bother to mention that you actually need a TK upgrade to do it. It's one of the ones you get for a challenge, I think one of the medal challenges for Mind Over Murder.

The Kinzie/Pierce homie chatter makes it seem like it's some closeted issue, combined with Pierce's "I don't usually swing that way" romance line.

Even better is when the Boss remarks that there's only like 9 people left to read it.
As awesome as Gat is, I like running around with Pierce and Fun Shawndi a lot more. They have some awesome dialogue together.
I agree they did a good job with Millar, he comes across as actually more mature if you listen to his logs.

Twenty-five dollars and a six pack to my name
Wow, Asha's loyalty mission is just spectacularly bad.

First, I get a character I don't give two fucks about. And it's yet another uptight girl, as if new Shaundi wasn't annoying enough.
Then there's this stupid stealth section that's supposed to be funny because it's spoofing MGS, Splinter Cell and Batman Arkham series. What it really does, however, is make the stealth way more tedious than all of the above games. If you go into the light or shoot a guard before you shoot any of the lights it's back to the checkpoint at the beginning of the mission.

And the whole thing ends in a big, boring location with murderbots and evil-boss (with an eyepatch, of course). Asha's getting shot down every five seconds. So you have to run frantically around the level shooting murderbots, reviving Asha, dodging sniper bullets from evil-boss and somehow find time to shoot him/her in the face. Every enemy is a bullet sponge to the point it's not even funny. And you get stripped of all your powers and get an standard SMG.
Worst level so far.

All of the assault rifles feel strangely under-powered compared to the other weapons, possibly because you can dual-wield pistols and submachine guns and shotguns are just insane at close-range, especially the fully-upgraded No Country For Old Men one.

I do like the disintegrator rifle, though. Even with upgrades it's too slow for enemies that are actually a threat (especially since there's no damage upgrade for it), but it two-shots portals, has unlimited ammo that rapidly regenerates and the one-hit kill animation on scrub enemies is cool as hell.
