They probably realized in testing that half of the people playing couldn't figure out how to cut his shields and made his hp really low so that people who couldn't do it could still beat him

If you have full electrolytes and go into Ripper mode you have pretty good odds of just killing him before it runs out.

First fight with him I didn't cut his shields, I just used the dodge constantly on him and hosed him up.

I knew about the second phase and accidentally killed him in shields first time I fought him and restarted the fight until I cut all of the shields and got to the second phase

I was not going through that fight without seeing the whole thing dammit

I know most people dislike EVE, but they released a trailer for the new expansion due out on the 27th and its pretty rad.

That is a super rad trailer, too bad it is EVE and will not nearly as cool as the trailer lets on.

To a degree it sort of is (eg. destroying someone's sandcastle) but yeah it doesn't play out as ~cinematic~ as that.

It's more akin to like how StarCraft or some other strategy game and not a space dog fighter though CCP are making EVE Valkyrie which is a VR dogfighting game which is pretty neat.

That music choice :lol: It was a pretty neat trailer and accurately represented EVE combat as a giant clusterfuck of missiles and lasers hitting everything and everything blowing up so I'll give it that.

I mean imagine if Nintendo put out a 2d Metroid on 3DS that was not much different from Zero Mission, just a new campaign

people would give it 15 out of 10, 120 metacritic user score

instead they're like "hey we're gonna try changing things up" and everyone goes BOOOOOOOOOOO BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO gently caress YOU

Time dialation is a necessary thing, because the alternative was you were lagged out of the game and would die, but its also a bitch and a half.

I would be fine if they were releasing a Metroid game with changes and new ideas instead of what appears to be some kinda co-op shooter thingy(?) with a Metroid label slapped on it

release another Metroid game you assholes GIVE IT TO ME

Some games/genres appear to do just fine with having basically just the same game getting released over and over, some don't. I know that if Konami released an IGA Castlevania just like the 6 on GBA/DS every couple of years in perpetuity with only changing things slightly each time I'd still buy them each time. Star Fox could very well be the opposite, though it really just seems to be that it's the huge gap between 64 and Zero that's causing the disconnect for people.

The difference is that there are like a million games that play exactly like SF64 that you could be playing instead, and there hasn't been a good Metroid game in a decade

There are but most of them play just differently enough that it's not really the same. Guacamelee was personal favorite of those, although I've heard Ori is pretty good too

I don't doubt that, it'd still be boring to watch without time dialation.

None of the excitement in EVE comes from visual feedback or anything like that I suppose.

Yeah I agree, the visual feedback isn't the best. Though as a player there's obviously excitement, but as a spectator without additional info (eg. commentary over a battle or whatever) it's rather bland to watch.

That's why I liken it to games more like StarCraft or even Total War than say Elite Dangerous (even though EVE is heavily influenced by games like Elite more than StarCraft etc.)
