Best advice I was ever given?

"Ticker, you'll be a lot happier once you stop caring about the opinions of a culture that is beneath you."

I learned my worth, learned the places and people that matter.

Came here to post something about this because man this sucks but it's not exactly surprising considering how things have been going over there lately. I was starting to get suspicious when everyone started leaning heavily into their own solo stuff but convinced myself they were just side gigs.

It's dumb to get worked up about 30-something internet personalities going their own ways (even though it looks like Woolie and Pat will be doing stuff) but this one's a bummer. With Sips pivoting full time to twitch over a year ago and now this, it's a big chunk of stuff I used to watch on YouTube that's now gone.

Kinda where I am, too. I was really jazzed for 2019 and seeing Matt and Pat bumble through RE2make and Woolie & Pat bumble through DMC5. It was super off to see that the amount of content coming out that had no Matt & Pat in it. I hope they find a way to salvage their friendship one day. :smith:

Not the best way for 2018 to go out. When that video starts off with Woolie saying Matt and Pat are no longer friends, it stung. They were probably one of the only YT channels I watched for gameplay. I know it's stupid to link but I will always find this part of their injokes hilarious.

For me its because its a God of War style game that features some rather bad implementation of the sixaxis and has awful bossfights on top of its other middling (not the graphics) qualities. I like Ninja Gaiden/DMC/Bayonetta style and dont care for God of War anywhere near as much so to me youre suggesting both a flat downgrade and a misconception of what Ninja Gaiden's gameplay and combat seeks to achieve.

I get that it's not going to have the depth of combat that Ninja Gaiden had but for me there were so many things about that game that were shoddy and the negatives really got in the way of it being a top quality game for me. I'll happily trade a bit of a downgrade in gameplay for all of those issues being fixed.

Im not sure what your concerns were, but for me mechanically across the board Heavenly Sword was a downgrade for me.

Again except graphics cause those look pretty good even now

The story was trite, I felt grossed out every time Rachel showed up, the world felt very empty, the platforming was janky and the camera was complete shite. Based on Chapter 1, Heavenly Sword does so much better in every regard.

Holy poo poo it's that bad?

Everything in the entire mod is just retooled to be annoying, stupid damage sponges. Most unique boss classes have innate PhysDef UP, MagDef UP, Move -> Restore MP, and MP Switch, so they're just impossible to kill in a timely manner. This is to "prevent the player from exploiting assassination missions." Which is. Yknow. The entire loving point of assassination missions. The bosses themselves aren't any more challenging, they just take forever.

For example, all of Adramalek's attacks drain HP--not equal to the HP of the target, but just equal to his base strength. He casts Night Sword that does 720 damage, his basic attack does 999 and restores 999, and he also has Critical Quick so you have to get him into a very specific HP range (which you can't see, because he's marked as Mighty so his stats are hidden) and then dump a ton of damage on him in one go.

Almost none of the combat changes in LFT are interesting; basically the dev built a bunch of enemy units with weird cheese strats and overtooled builds that you would expect the player to use, or annoying gotchas like putting Counter Flood on almost every fodder unit just for the 20% chance that the counter will inflict the player with some terrible status effect like Petrify or Don't Act. Oh also he likes to hide special boss skills like Dark Magic or Holy Magic on regular enemies, so you spend most of the battles trying to remember the range of Flare 2 or whatever.

No, but I want to. But I also want to wait until it's finished, which sadly it probably never will be :(
