The big thing that bugged me was them having the bible and access to two batteries to recharge it and then not abusing that. Or going back to it before doing the boss.

Pat even explicitly mentioned that batteries do that, but Pat also loves to give good advice that he has received but not yet internalised.

I was actually inspired to load up Binding of Isaac (the original, I fell off after a while and didn't really feel up to getting the later versions) and using some of Pat's advice beat Mom's heart on my first run. Thanks, Pat! I never quite know how to deal with games like this, Darkest Dungeon and to a lesser extent Nuclear Throne, where there's a ton of secrets and obscure interactions and the game is pretty hard/unforgiving. When I was playing BoI I was still in the mindset of "never look up anything", but with those latter two, I said gently caress it, and looked up stuff I didn't understand and had a much better time. I'll probably get the newer Isaacs at some point and give them a try that way.

By original, do you mean the original flash game version? Or Binding of Isaac: Rebirth, the remake with pixel art that's actually really good. Cause I strongly recommend picking up Rebirth if you're playing the flash one. Not so much Afterbirth/A+ necessarily, since they have quite a few bad design decisions.

Dias posted:I think Afterbirth and Afterbirth+ kinda hosed the original progression, stuff like Big Horn and Rag Man and rooms with a bunch of champion monsters when you haven't even made it to Everthing's Terrible is pretty bad. Yeah, I think the clear intent is to get the expansions after you've played enough to come to grips with the base game. Also the spawners from Afterbirth+ are just lovely, and are the reason it's the first Isaac expansion I passed on.

davidHalestorm posted:I've been playing RE7 along with watching Matt and Patt and other people playing as well. And the AI on the enemies seems to have a wide range of options when chasing you. In my game, while I was running around from Jack in the dining area, he broke through the wall and caught me while I was in the corridor, that didn't happened in their game. Likewise, I didn't know that Jack can cut your feet and then taunt you with your own severed foot since that didn't happened in my game. Also, in the attic Mia fight, one lp'er immediately run and hide in the gun room once Mia bust through the roof and Mia broke the wall behind them. It's pretty neat. It's a shame all this stuff is super front loaded. Last half of the game it kinda falls off and there's no real variation. Depths posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MoX9enz2e3A On the topic of a new intro, I know that it would take time to make a totally new one but I think they probably should. There's so many 4player references that it being a man down is kind of... empty. That and I feel like including a Liam joke kinda goes against his "I don't want to be tied to 2bfs at all" wish. Iunno probably overthinking it. ThisIsACoolGuy fucked around with this message at 22:50 on Jan 29, 2017 |

Burkion posted:I'd bet Liam gave them permission to do that gag. Agreed, and while I know Liam wants his superstream to rise on his own merits, that's not the same as pretending he was never in SBFP. I think the main thing is he doesn't want to cross promote his new thing on SBFP, which is reasonable; something like Liam appearing on the podcast as a guest would feel super weird. I think it's nice that for a time the intro still pays homage to Liam's contributions over the years. hoobajoo fucked around with this message at 23:10 on Jan 29, 2017 |

If you're having trouble there's *something* in the boss room you can use to your advantage. Otherwise there's another path from Majula to a different area you can try first. Dunno how effective it is now, but you can try leaving your small white soapstone in places to get summoned. You only need to kill a few enemies for it to be a success and to be sent back with your human form.

Oxyclean posted:Ugh, I really do not like this "lose maximum hp" mechanic of DS2. Yes and no. You can always go say hi to the guy in Heide's Tower. He's a lot easier but like genocyber said there's some things in the boss fight room that make him easier. Heide's the zone is kinda rough unless you have a strike weapon/upgrade your weapon a little. Did you ever play demon's souls? There's a cling ring like thing that'll make the max hp drop be 75% instead of 50% you need to find.

I feel like I've missed a lot in the Forest; after getting the soldier's key from the Last Giant boss I unlocked the door above the bonfire, grabbed the items up there then peaced out. I didn't know there's be more doors to unlock with it. Certainly haven't seen the Pursuer yet.

Oxyclean posted:Ugh, I really do not like this "lose maximum hp" mechanic of DS2. Pursuer is one of those bosses you can definitely do right away, or come back to him later. The hollowing system is kinda balls, but in addition to the ring in Heide's Tower that lets you half the penalty, human effigies are generally plentiful. You can also do co-op to get back to full, though obviously that's less of a reliable option than it once was.

The game is stacked to the rafters with summon signs, bloodstains and hints right now, like they are piled on top of each other a dozen a time, so this seems to have been a good time to start. Either that or DS2 is having a brainfart and just displaying everything possible when it really shouldn't be, because the sheer density of online markers is just goofy. I don't really know what is normal. I seem to lose connection after an hour or so and have to quit out to reconnect, which is not the biggest ballache but a pain nonetheless.

Found the enemies at Heide's tower a bit of a pain for me to deal with, so I stuck with Pursuer a bit locker. The summon sign suggestion was good, I've been getting summoned somewhat reliably. Found the thing in Pursuer's room, that was cool, made use of it while helping someone, but when I summoned someone for help we just ended up beating him to death.  At the area post Pursuer now, working on Ruin Sentinels, helped someone get it, but couldn't find any non-npcs to help me.

I was talking about the repair cost, I'm hoping that is what you were referring to and SofFS made death less trivial in DaS2 because that poo poo was ridiculous. After I got the first one in Vanilla DaS2 I don't think I ever went hollow again. Auto E: If I'm being unclear, vanilla DaS2 allowed you to repair Second e: The wiki page confirmed that they made the repair cost for it 14K in SotFS, this is a good thing.

Sellsword NPC with two shields is a cool dude. I feel a little bad for walking over that boss with two summoned npcs but I'm sure as hell not going to let a humanity go to waste. One primal bonfire down.

Jack's a pretty fun stalker (to borrow Haunting Ground's term), when he popped up to chase me, as soon as I turn the corner, he yelled out, 'AH, gently caress IT' and went the other way. That made me laughed.
