Baiken is half the woman Elphelt is. Or at least a quarter less, literally.

Doing big damage with baiken feels kinda tricky. I haven't grasped the timing on the jump cancels off the tatami launchers, I always wind up stuck on the grind doing far slash :(

I'm still amazed at how G.G. REV2 looks like it's all handrawn. I love the finishers. I probably played Faust the most because I like how outright insane his moves are.

Crash at a reasonable framerate seems wrong.

Also the games were always bad.

I've never played a Crash game or really seen one in action, but that looked pretty bad? Six minutes of the exact same challenge? Also couldn't they have made it so that the apples gravitate towards you? The player there skipped a bunch because yeah, it's tedious having to stop your momentum and stand still for an extra second

So Vanquish was really good. Just finished the story and I will probably do the challenges soon.

The gameplay was really fun once I figured it out. Losing upgrades when you died was a pretty punishing mechanic but I got over it.

The story was eh. I didn't really care about the characters, nothing memorable compared to Bayonetta or Metal Gear Rising.

if not a genuinely nice guy then at least someone who is motivated enough to get the gently caress up and do things himself, like shutting off the neighbor's long-forgotten generator

i sincerely wish persona 5 had given me an option to start the game with max social stats. disable trophies i don't care, i doubt i'll have time for NG+ (because i hear the fast forward doesn't even go that fast). with the addition of books and video games it's super annoying to also have to waste time doing something that isn't fun.

persona 6 needs to have a "character creator" that gives you a few points to start out with so if you want to you can start out as The Smartest Boy and never waste a time slot studying

hahahaha I don't do poo poo. The only reason I did that is because I was afraid of my fiancee and my cats dying. Also, speaking of said neighbor, my fiancee was working for him for a while but she just got fired because he doesn't like that she can only work there part time and that she has another, better paying job elsewhere that actually pays her on time and trains her in what she's supposed to be doing and stays in contact with her instead of just disappearing and avoiding paying her like this guy was doing. Also, he got another electrical shutoff notice so I told my fiancee to hang it up over the playboy pinup in his office so he'd look at the nipples and instead see the notice and maybe actually pay it instead of letting it shut off and go with running a generator again. Also also, apparently one of his employees (who also has trouble getting him to actually pay him) ended up telling him flat out not to run that generator indoors on the day that that whole thing happened, but after said employee left, the neighbor just pushed the generator indoors and closed the shop up and left it like that. Fucker.

Guy Mann posted:

Yeah. Hope that my mother doesn't try to reach out to me. That's about it. If that happens, it'll be a good day. It's likely she'll try to reach out to me but I can only hope she doesn't. Other than that, idk. Might head down to the aforementioned dumb neighbor to try to get my fiancee's final pay from him in addition to some pay for me for helping out a little down there because my fiancee's birthday is coming up on the 14th of June and there are a couple of things I want to be able to get her that I have no means of getting her otherwise.

playing p5 and loving it is what inspired me to try 4 and tbh while i like a lot of the characters in 4 the plot in 5 is more interesting 2 me

P5's themes and plot and everything are a lot better imo and really relevant politically in a way most video games never are

But the characters in 4 felt like an actual group of high school friends in a way 5 didn't really capture.

There were people playing it yesterday but I guess that was yesterday. Good chance that only 9 holes in the beta won't hold people's attention for long, it least there's only a couple of months until the game is out.

Crash 3 is a lot of fun but yeah I don't know why they chose that level

also they went pretty slowly because they were trying to break all the boxes but every level has time trials which I always really enjoyed
