Interesting, I just found out that this guy https://youtu.be/eIG9ep5fjFk
who From hired to do level design stuff for Elden Ring based on his impeccable Unreal Engine 4 recreation of Farron Woods also did level design for Mortal Chain. https://www.artstation.com/artwork/kD213d

Wow.

That was the toughest fight of my life. and now there are two.

Sekiro status: still incredible. Still punishing. Extremely rewarding. When I actually beat it it is going to be a huge accomplishment to me. One of the ultimates. :hai:

I am drained right now.

Not sure if you're aware and this is no spoiler but you're gonna have to go through twice for all bosses. Luckily playthrough two is almost like a victory lap

I briefly watched as well and saw the accidental firecrackers going off during that fight. Had to run shortly after but those couple of minutes stressed me out just watching, I don't think I'm cut out for these games, but I will find out shortly, when I finally bring myself to begin the hunt!

Sadly the harsh reality of him being on the internet these past two years means that there was never a chance for us to get this moment, before he even started playing the game.

Twice???

Also thank you to Fridge and Morally and Segaholic and Fatking2. I knew there were some people I saw yesterday that chatted and I completely forgot :)

Woken up and feel a little bit more chill.

Are reflections of strength souped up versions of boss fights? I do not recall Guardian Ape or Lady Butterfly being able to one shot me with their first hit.

We mentioned this wayyyyy back but yeah there’s one boss that only shows up with the worst ending. You can always come back and do that way at a later date though 😛 in fact I wonder if you can make multiple saves at a certain point so you can just go back to it quickly or if it involves save scumming/cloud storage stuff

One thing about the reflections of strength I forgot about until googling just now is that it sets your attack power and their stats to specific parameters that could easily be harder for you than it was when you first faced them. That is not ideal for the homework assignment! Oh well.

Regy Rusty
Apr 26, 2010

Yeah if you want to fight all bosses you have to do two playthroughs, but if you're okay with skipping the bad ending bosses then you don't need to.

The platinum also requires 3 playthroughs but I'm sure that's not really a consideration.

This is, sadly, more important to me than bettering myself.

I just got around to playing Zombie Army 4 last week, and there have been some issues but act 1 of the Zoo has me wondering: was this game balanced for 4 players and will not scale down for any less?

I ask that because of the climax where you crawl down to the crocodile enclosure.

At the end of act 2 you are given a choice. If you backup your save before you get there then you can just reload it when you finish the game and then go the other way. Or you can do multiple play throughs to get the platinum.

Or you can skip it entirely.

E: I think pretty much everyone will say you should just start on NG+ once you finish. At least up through act 2 again.

NG+ in Sekiro seemed to go by very quickly. It’s almost absurd how quickly. You know everything and do all the right moves and the early bosses are just paper bags. If you have all the prayer beads and gourd seeds a lot of the bosses become optional.

This means the opposite, they're leaning even harder into their decision by getting actual discord for probably a cheaper investment than it would've cost to clone it

Has anyone talked to Beanpole lately? He hasn't been on here or PSN in a week and I sent him some texts like 4 days ago and got no response, which is odd. Hopefully he's doing allright.

No. it scales to however many players there are unless you manually change it. That part can be sort of tough. You gotta try to get the tougher enemies before they even enter the enclosure or it's easy to get overwhelmed.

But the enemies spawned after I flip the switch in the enclosure, and I'm also already dealing with green spitters and some very buggy suiciders that may spend the first two minutes running back and forth up above between jumping down points. That's between 10 seconds to a minute to take down two flamers and an LMG heavy, how am I supposed to accomplish that?

Most of them don't spawn in the pit. They spawn on top and drop down. If you look up top you'll see the flamer LMG and the suiciders trickling in from above. focus on taking them out so they can't get near you.

And thank you Esco, Oscar and Waltzing. I recall now what people were saying about twice. I was just forgetful of that fact because of the ape destroying me.

Lady VG said my reaction upon seeing two was so hilarious, so while there is no reaction of the moment with the Ape, there is a reaction of the moment with two and my sudden panic and crushed resigned defeat :)

If anyone I know would turn their phone off completely for a technology sabbatical it would be him, but it's just sort of weird, like I sent him a text asking if he was doing allright 4 days ago and haven't heard anything. I've been texting bs with him for years and never not heard back within an hour or so.

I'm sort of a worrywart lol. He probably went camping or something and can laugh at me later, it's just sort of strange .

I'm gonna miss the first ~30 minutes of today's stream so I fully expect you to have trounced them and moved on by the time I arrive!
