Terry was indirectly mvp of that fight for me.

Charmy hit himself twice for 2k damage a pop. Practically won the battle for me.

In fact, for all the crap that he seems to be getting here, I can't help but feel Terry is a lot better than he's been given credit.

In this thread, Terry's the Pierce of this game, if you haven't caught on.

Pierce is the single worst character who everyone shits on for being a bad character, players and other characters included.

Also see: Jerry from Undertale, Jerry from Rick and Morty

Pierce is also a character in Saints Row. Should kinda probably link to something related to him.

Pierce is from Saint's Row, since nobody mentioned.

Pierce is the worst simply because he was competing with Gat, Carlos, and Shaundi. Gat is Gat, Shaundi is Shaundi. Carlos can't be the worst because he was the best (RIP Carlos).

Given his loyalty mission in Saints Row IV, and ALL of Russian Boss's dialog in The Third, I'd say The Boss agrees with you.

We may give Pierce a lot of poo poo, but he's a great guy.

A great guy to give some poo poo to.

Yeah, maybe it's because I only played Saints Row: The Third onward but I never saw a mention of Pierce being that guy, other than the text crawl at the intro joking that nobody gives a gently caress about Pierce. I guess it helps that in one of the earliest missions of the game, he shows up with a massive fleet of attack helicopters and bombards a military base into oblivion.

Terry's an opposite case. He talks himself up constantly about how great he is, but it's his stats and combat moves that express just how much he sucks. His main attack is running at somebody and falling over for no/almost no damage, and I think his first combat skill too is him doing a dramatic pose and then tipping over and falling on his opponent, again for almost no damage.

Yeah he basically loses that status in Saints Row Three... and then Saundi just loving changed completely out of nowhere.

Anyway Terry is a bad character I saved because I'm not a monster yet he is still a complete piece of poo poo for battle.

Woulda been even funnier if SR4 Shaundi was yet again a totally different character just to gently caress with people's heads. Like, she's suddenly black and dresses in a karate gi or something.

Having Shaundi be a character that changes as wildly from game to game as some people's Boss changes from game to game would actually be pretty awesome.

Welp, I was poking around through the game files for LISA and came across a music track called Horse poo poo.ogg. Gave it a listen out of curiosity.

I have to play this game through to the end now.

Woo! Caved and bought the bundle with the soundtrack and art, for as much as a fast food meal. A bargain for so much hilarious misery.

e. drat, these character bios show a surprising amount of depth. Probably spoilery, but highly recommended.

e.2: No, make that VERY spoilery. Still recommended.

Terminally ambivalent.
Honestly the soundtrack is great but holy poo poo the levels are all over the place, you can tell dingaling worked on that for Joyful because it's way more balanced. So far the toughest thing in doing this LP has been balancing the audio for the battles since they're so drat loud.

I constantly had to fiddle with my headphone volumes too.
Also, a lot of the ingame music had modifiers on it, whether pitch or speed, so sometimes the OST tracks sound a teensy bit different from how you remember.
