I know this guy's kinda basic but I really loved fighting him because nothing feels better than bonking this hammerheaded brute right in the face with your own hammer and having him fall over or lose his skull plate. Plus he looks rowdy.

I wonder if there will ever be a turn-based tactics game that didn't boil down to managing traffic jams at doorways

Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle is at least as often about exploiting ridiculous movement tech as is is traffic jams.

Man Divinity OS 2 is cool but hard. I figured out two ways off the island but both are blocked by really tough fights that start out with my entire party being immolated. I wonder if there’s a bunch more stuff I should do to level/gear up before trying to escape, or if I’m totally loving up my character development, or if I’m just bad at the game and should turn down the difficulty.

If you keep exploring there are ways to make that final battle much easier, not just through EXP + character levels but also through the outcomes of certain encounters.

This is my answer too. My MH experience is just a few hours of Tri that I bounced off of and then a few dozen of World so it's not the greatest breadth of experience but destroying this dude with a hammer just feels so good.

Honestly if the game just cut out the grinding I would probably still be playing it. I know there's less of it now but man.

Yeah I'm definitely digging the art style of the '64 stuff




Sonic is slower than Usain Bolt

The minigames have been all right so far! The classic ones are definitely riffing on the old NES sports games for sure. The motion controls they try to implement for the current ones are horrid so I'm glad they're optional

Skateboarding is cool

precision posted:

this isn't true at all, the damage is only low if you spend all of your time hopping around in the air, because the ground combos do the most damage. every weapon is good in solo play!

i admit i spend most of my time in the air because i can dodge most of the monsters' attacks up there

plus it looks sweet

see you have to justify it with excuses reasons like "i'm dealing mounting damage to topple the monster!" "i'm doing more status/element damage this way!" and the new "i'm trying really hard to hit the falling clutch claw attack but it's hard to aim!"

I love Subnautica speedruns because they have to get all the fragments and mats for a Cyclops, just so they can make a single part that's needed for a rocket bit.
