The Hell House boss is annoying because you’re not prompted about it being a magic resistance fight before it starts so if you have only one or two elemental materia equipped it’s gonna take forever.

I died during the Hell house battle when it had like 2% health left. I've never switched a game to easy so fast, gently caress doing that grind again. Most of the major battles take way, way too long. The entire game has a lot of padding in general. I'm still enjoying it overall, I missed FFVII first time round and have somehow missed all spoilers except for the big one.

I have felt this way about all the bosses so far- i feel like fundamentally dont get the battle system. All of them go on for waaaày too long and feel like there is one solution/ weakness to exploit and you just have to wait your turn and do it.

So I guess Biomutant reviews drop tomorrow and the game is out Tuesday. It’s lovely that one of the classes is locked behind preordering because the game definitely has a “could be good, but definitely wait and see” vibe.

I was hoping for a Ghosts of Tsushima/Horizon/TW3-lite but it’s looking more like a Days Gone/Feenyx (sp?).

Don't know what the crossover is with people in this thread maybe owning PCs good enough to play it, but Biomutant is going to be on EA Play Pro day 1, so you could play it for 15 bucks.

The house was in the original as a regular enemy. It was just an inexplicable big house that would show up during random encounters sometimes. No fanfare and it certainly wasn't a boss.

It's too bad the actual boss fight kind of sucks in the remake because I love everything else about it.


The House was amazing and I loved the commentators also and all the amazing voice acting makes me thing the game loving sucked on the PS1

Chip Cheezum’s let’s play is great for learning all the quirks and techniques the game doesn’t teach you in the tutorials. I also got wrecked on that fight because I didn’t have all four elements equipped though

Do people like that? Maybe it’s my fault for not experimenting enough, but it felt to me like the game was obfuscating too much.

I guess I’m used to it from Capcom and SEGA action games, which can be much more enjoyable if you understand how they’re meant to be played from watching videos by people who are really good at them.

However, none of these are quite as bad as games like Minecraft and Team Fortress 2 that pretty much require a fan-made wiki open on a second monitor.

I really like replaying my favourite games, especially if they have harder difficulties, so I don’t mind this kind of design.

I feel like it would be best to mentally disconnect this film with the actual Uncharted game series, and just go into it as an Uncharted-clone. Might make it a little more enjoyable.

I had thought they'd try to age him up a little when his casting was announced. Or I guess have him look his age, Sully was only a few years older in UC1 than Mark Wahlberg is now. Nope, I guess they're making Uncharted Babies. Can't let the steroids and hair treatment go to waste.

I'm a weird little freak that'll go into a boss fight just to Assess them and immediately restart it out of the fight to plan around their weaknesses now that I don't need the materia anymore.

But that's a lot of strategy to ask of people. Most people who play the game don't even find out about Cloud's berserk buff in Punisher stance until like 22 hours in.

When I heard Wahlberg/Uncharted I thought he was going to be Nathan.

Sully? Hahahahahah. Too many studio fingers in the pot hosed this poo poo up already.

And Breckin Meyer does look like Drake. A tad tiny, though.

I could see Clooney as Sully. But Marky Mark? LOL.
