The film is indeed Bring it On. My best friend was obsessed with it when we were about 14, so I have seen it a myriad times.

I get that they wanted to have a curve but if they started with theses combat mechanics instead of drip feeding them slowly I think the game might have been a lot more interesting to play.

I looked it up out of curiosity: The "Buck" of the phrase "To Pass the Buck" was a special card in a few card games, placed in front of the dealer to mark him. When it came time for the dealer to change the buck would be passed to the next player, and so would the responsibility of dealing. "The Buck Stops Here" was a play on this phrase meaning that President Truman would not pass on his responsibilities to lower level delegates (and let them take the fall if it failed) but would accept them wholeheartedly, along with any blame that would be assigned. Edit because I want to talk about the final dungeon now we're here - One thing that I like here is that a lot of games have a final dungeon that is very long and difficult, often with a weird layout that makes it hard to navigate, like Star Ocean 4's Palace of Creation - Pork Lift and wateyad had no idea where to go and in the last vid posted one of them had to carefully check a walkthrough to find where to actually go. This place however, the Double Reed Tower, is fairly well paced. You are in a tower, so you know you need to make your way up somehow, and the ways are really easy to find, even when a path loops back to a floor you've already been to you can recognise that it's a new part of it because it's separated from the rest of the floor. So you pick a direction and wend your way upwards then come across a pair of bosses as you do. Now you know how the dungeon works and can figure out how things will play from now on, unless you are InstantGrat and miss some vital clues that appear in the video. :P BioEnchanted fucked around with this message at 21:11 on Apr 27, 2017 |

Monster Hunter is a game that is about 10% farming for resources and 90% fighting Giant Final Boss Fights. One problem, is that that farming is front-loaded, so you start the game by doing boring chores. And it's a dozens-to-hundreds of hours long game, so that first 10% may actually hours long. This has been relieved somewhat, since there's free DLC that just gives you a ton of resources, but the game still starts off by doing some menial quests before reaching the meat of the game. It's also really easy to trick yourself into doing a lot of the early quests early, even when there's no real reward for doing them, instead of moving on to harder quests with actual rewards. Hunts in the game can take anywhere between 10 to 40 minutes. It's a pretty significant time investment. There is pretty active online co-op that speeds things up a lot, even with randos. Eternal Sonata continues to not do anything. We're reaching my favorite point in the game, though. Aside from it being over.

So the entire game is set up as Chopin's dying dream and only now we getting to it? Opening cutscene aside I really did want to give this game a chance but nothing is living up to anything I hoped for.

The rest is the same.

Unfortunately the FF13 review mentioned seems to be on a dead site (Actionbutton.net isn't much right now). Is there any backup you could link to? I'd like to read that one.

In the PS3 version, Count Waltz is still alive and fights with the dragon in this fight, making it very difficult. Also, all the philosophy-in-a-void scenes are completely different on PS3. No idea why. e: Here: https://youtu.be/UN3u0dOQJpI?t=1892 https://youtu.be/UN3u0dOQJpI?t=2801 https://youtu.be/TyP0XmDwKck?t=1311 https://youtu.be/TyP0XmDwKck?t=2649 Admiral H.

That it's even possible to miss a dragon the size of a house because you were punching between it's legs is hilarious. Even when you were hitting it with Falsetto I'm pretty sure you were still missing with a couple of hits. Even if I was to give the game that the battle system is mildly interesting it's let down by the enemies who haven't changed in their basic design since the start of the game.

*snip* The end is in sight - the next update is the last, barring any impromptu bonus streams or suchlike. EDIT: God dammit I messed up the audio. Re-upload incoming, though it'll take a while. Sorry

This update is the whole optional dungeon, which stretches over two recordings, and I somehow managed to overwrite the audio for the second one with a copy of the audio from the first one. Fixed video is uploading now, I'll post the link before I head to work tomorrow.

Imagine, if you had never done the optional dungeon I never would have known what the thread title means. I was half expecting moans of disappointment after Falsetto got the last hit at the last possible moment instead of celebration. "Oh god drat it she won now we have to keep going."

This game continues to amaze. Only giving the final level of gameplay if the optional dungeon? And another Chopin powerpoint? One only wonders what you get for NG+! (probably nothing but a feeling of disappointment)

On NG+ you get to do all the score pieces! It's totally worth it but because they won't bother I'll give you a small summary  God dammit I wanted to post a clip from Dexter's Lab of Deedee playing the piano but the only clip from that episode that I can find is the final song... Oh well, this joke is abandoned. Spent about 10 minutes searching too...

It's a bit of a shame (but completely justified because the dungeon is loving garbage) that you skipped the score pieces. I'd have liked to see the reaction to this, coming out of nowhere.
