I'm not seeing the complaints about Korra, honestly. It's not Bayonetta but it's got a bunch of classic Platinum mechanics and plays pretty good. It's not the best game ever or anything but dodge-offsetting bending moves and taunting enemies like Jetstream Sam never gets old.

AccountingNightmare posted:I agree with the complaints about a couple health-spongy enemies, but countering helps a lot as it does a fair chunk of damage. I really found that the key to them was keeping your Chi meter fully charged basically 24/7. Admittedly I went through the game with the x2exp/half health item equipped the entire time so I had maxed-out levels by the end but a level-3 chi charge wrecks some serious poo poo, especially if you hit the perfect charge. Also on an unrelated note if you do the Pro-Bending stuff you unlock after you finish the game (which takes like ten minutes to go through tops) you unlock an accessory which is basically Witch Time Lite, which is pretty fun. Pomp posted:I'd call Korra "competent, but clearly low budget" and leave it at that. Yeah, it's low budget for sure but pretty good for a low-budget $15 title.

AccountingNightmare posted:I never actually understood what the Chi meter was for. I knew that I was missing something though. It'll definitely come in handy on repeat playthroughs. Basically when you do a charge move, you build up Chi meter which boosts your damage and slightly alters your attacks. Each level has a greater effect. It's most obvious on Earthbending where Level 3 has Korra start pulling up giant boulders and smashing them together and stuff and Airbending which becomes basically "the entire screen is death." The damage boost lasts until the chi runs out. As you're charging you also have circles which begin closing in on Korra and if you time it just as they hit her body it'll flash and the move you're charging will do huge damage. Also you can dodge while charging to instantly 'lock in' the current level of chi charge without having to actually do a move so you're not actually really vulnerable while doing it.

I have to say it kind of bothers me that the Zelda costume appears to be just straight-up mechanically superior since it gives you a free Moons effect without using an accessory slot. I don't mind the cosmetic differences but that's pretty OP considering none of the other costumes (that I've unlocked yet) have that significant an effect.

enojy posted:The only thing I've got against this game so far is them plopping a lovely life or death QTE right at the end of a chapter. There goes a possible platinum because you thought you were watching a cutscene and put the controller down for five seconds. God drat state of console video games circa 2008. It isn't actually. There are barely any QTEs at all and no life and death ones as far as I am.

Honestly, the hardest part of winning is the fact that if you get behind in the combo on anything but a boss battle it can be really hard to make it back up. It can be a little aggravating sometimes.

I feel like there's something I'm missing because he's just so aggressively awful.

Both games are fantastic. Shadow of Mordor is less difficult and more "gently caress around and have fun', while Bayonetta has way better core combat. Bayonetta comes with two games though so it's more bang for your buck,

I'm pretty bad and seem to be missing fight scenes so I'm not getting all the medals in a chapter, which gives me a stone rating. Is there any benefit to getting higher ratings besides feeling better about myself? You get more Halos for good ranking and you need all platinums on Normal to unlock Jeanne. (There's an alternate unlock option though, though it requires a lot of Halos.)

Beef Waifu posted:The scythe is good for both crowd control and damage. Especially if you use its shotgun blades then it just fucks anything in front of you hard. For DPS though you'd be better off using swords as they're just faster and flow into combat better, I feel. The scythe feels like it's meant to be a midpoint between the whips and the chainsaws to me, but not quite as good as either.
