Would you be my new best friends?

God, Rollin Hand was so loving cool :c00l:

The original Mission: Impossible was such a great show. Until I actually sat down and watched the full series a few years back I had no idea Jim Phelps wasn't the original team leader.

At some point in the series the writers basically just threw their hands up and said,"gently caress it, subtlety is for cowards."

Based on Skyfall it seems they are willing to at least pretend to entertain the idea of an LGBT Bond, so I personally can't wait for 007 to be approached by some twink wearing a David Bowie Labyrinth codpiece in an Italian casino who introduces himself as Tyler Tightbussy. Equality begins NOW

When I was a kid I thought The Living Daylights sucked and License to Kill was the coolest poo poo I'd ever seen. Now I think License to Kill is kinda sorta a little embarrassing (it's no Die Another Day at least :gonk:) but The Living Daylights is really, really loving good.

Dalton just had that right amount of cynicism and burnout that I thought worked best in a post-Cold War Bond movie. However when my wife and I tried to figure out which Bond movies to show our daughter she wanted to skip Dalton entirely because she feels he was an AWFUL James Bond who was nowhere near how Fleming wrote him. It didn't turn into a fight, but it came awfully close.

(for the record, we picked Goldfinger, On Her Majesty's Secret Service, For Your Eyes Only, The Living Daylights, Tomorrow Never Dies, and Skyfall)

Returnal is the most soul crushing game i’ve played. I have no idea why I am continuing. Spending hours on a run getting completely maxed out weapons and health, with two extra lives saved up only to be killed in under a minute by a flock of magnetite pokemon is just depressing as hell. I have been playing since release and I hate it but can’t stop.

I feel you but like, Dead Cells, Hades (arguably a very easy one but it's also a great one), spelunky and poo poo like that I had fun the whole time. With returnal I'm not sure i'm having fun it's definitely...fun adjacent? but it's fun like watching the House that Jack Built is fun...so mostly sad and demoralizing.

If anyone has any tips let me know, all the online guides basically just say "get lucky and also get good".

The best advice to give is "if it glows, shoot at it, not like there's innocents on this planet; collect as much resin as possible to raise your health bar ASAP, and never stop doing that; pick the weapon you're best at and pretty much toss aside every other weapon; figure out which perks on that weapon also help you, and then toss aside anything that doesn't either increase that perk or have a huge jump in how much damage it can deliver; fell in a trap room and know for a fact that the Cthulu-rear end thing is going to kill you in like five seconds? Run like hell to the transporter, they activate immediately. Also open every goddamn gate you see."

Also, the game's a bit more rewarding to people who play it like a Platinum game, since the dodge has a bunch of frames where you're invincible, much like those games tend to. Like, you can dodge through a shockwave or bullet hell if you're good enough. In fact, that might be the best advice: master the dodge mechanic and make the game your completely consensual bitch.

Yes, we have feathers--but the muscles of men.
I have had more successful runs with Returnal by making sure to be mindful of farming health pick-ups for increased Max health and also just not loving with the dead scouts or challenge rooms unless I was extremely set-up. Also don’t pick up treasures until your proficiency is at a higherish level.

But idk, you are probably further along than me, I’ve played for ten hours or so and only been to the second level. Beating Phrike took some time.

If the Returnal run is taking an hour or two then you're spending too much time backtracking and trying to find everything. You don't need it and the time spent backtracking could be used to practice the section you're stuck on.

Some good stuff here thanks. I definitely should master the dodge mechanic better. If I can beat all the soulsborniros i can beat this.

Any specific tips for the Magnetite enemies in world three? Their projectiles are so loving fast and their self destruct attack is just brutal, I can wipe the floor with every other enemy in the game even the huge brick with tentacles that flies in the desert world.

They're the worst enemy in the game so don't feel bad. Dodge forward through the homing attacks. Try to constantly move, if you are grappling I think you're immune so try to use those to get around. If you can run don't be afraid to run. You don't have to clear every room.

Strong endorsement for Enter the Gungeon while we're talking about roguelikes, I've played it across three systems now and am enjoying it even more on PS4 than I did on Switch or PC

Risk of Rain 2 is also really good, but it's waaaaaay more inscrutable and doesn't have the same sense of humor
