As far as I know it doesn't go below 50%, but it is directly correlated with the effectiveness of the equipment, if its at 50 it has half the stats. Also a funny easter egg of sorts, every weapon in this game can level up 3 times, this includes your fists.

As someone who knows the police will never help me, I'm intrigued! Anyway, we're finally back into it! I think this game might be cursed, or maybe I might be cursed. On the first take, only 1/4 of the screen recorded, and on the second take I literally passed out randomly halfway into it. Note to self: Drink more water.  If you notice a weird transition in the middle, well, it's because I cut out the part where there was a big DONK and a lot of confusion. But, the benefit is, longer episode now that it's finally done! Yay! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-kcKxnZaI04 Also, feedback on the audio for this one is greatly appreciated, be it good bad or neutral, because this is a multi-track mixdown which is much fancier than what we've been doing in the past. Enjoy!

It sounds good. You can probably level up physical attacks by hitting people forever.

Something special happens if you level fists to 3. That is all. You can throw fist waves.

If you can stand the tedium of grinding it out (it takes like 480ish hits to level up to 3), fists are actually an okay weapon for a while. It kinda feeds into a problem I have with the game, you get weapons at a decently rapid clip, so you'll probably swap most of them out before getting to level 3. Some weapons really only shine at higher levels, but you wouldn't know that unless you grind them all or look it up. BrokenLink fucked around with this message at 20:29 on Oct 6, 2020 |

There is a Cheat Engine table for running this game on PCSX2 that lets you set a bunch of stuff like weapon levels. I think it's on GameFAQs somewhere. It even lets you move faster, but that just breaks the combat in your favor sadly.

I prefer between episode high speed grinding.  That’s pretty neat though, also a little surprising it just doesn’t break the game outright.

Well you are carrying a cursed idol in the game OP hth  But with regards to the video itself, the thing that really sets the tone in the game (at least for me) for how hosed this place is isn't the foreboding skies, or the monsters running about, or the decrepit and abandoned buildings, it's that emaciated dog next to that girl  Audio's great now too!

At least we rescue this one, kinda! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lFyh2xb2nt4 Also, special announcement, we're finally doing something live! Tomorrow (Monday the 12th) at 8:30 PM EST, join us on our Twitch channel that we haven't used in basically forever for the first go at Armored Core! I haven't played this game in probably 20 years and I have no idea what I'm doing (what else is new  ) so it should be a good time! It'll also be on the YT channel at some point, but you can't heckle us as easily there.

All the KF games are blending together. We had people with a symbol get controlled and spiders controlling people. Was there another way people got possessed in the earlier games?

Was there another way people got possessed in the earlier games? I think they were just kind of implied to be controlled through the power of sheer evil. Speaking of evil, KFIV is thoroughly tired of my BS and definitely wants me to know it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QLzdBWq0y84 As you may guess from the title, the start of this one didn't go very well for me. I admit I really like that knife though, and it's pretty awesome that we're getting more varied weapons now. And everything can smash barrels too.  Also, same as last week, we're going live with more Armored Core tonight at 8:30 EST on Twitch, and last week's stream is up on Youtube if you want to check it out! It also didn't go so well. Armored Core can be a cruel, cruel game.

Yeah I'm definitely not looking for them as hard in this game, I think I'm thrown off by the significantly less repetitive geometry and textures. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZbdrHO7mxO8 I really don't like those turdhogs, y'all. Also, no live Armored Core this week, but I do have the one from last time up if you want to see how badly I got my rear end kicked.

Not sure how leveling magic makes you better in this game, but you might be able to train magic by dunking yourself in poison and using purify.

Only took them four games to create enemies who fights the same way you do instead of just spinning in circles or tanking hits.

So I'm that guy who knows this game inside and out and loves it to pieces, even with its painfully slow movement and questionable gameplay decisions. You're actually doing pretty well, a lot better than I did my first time through. I'm a few videos behind but look forward to catching up this week! I'll try not to spoil anything, but I can't resist mentioning a few things you wondered about: the beetle-things that scuttle away after you kill zombies can be killed, though you have to be quick. IIRC they drop a bunch of gold and XP. Also, the skeleton jaws you've been picking up do have a particular use late in the game. Good luck!

Makes me feel good knowing that the feeling of stumbling around aimlessly is more or less just part of the game, more or less. I kind of figured the jaws and claws were worth holding on to, but they don't seem particularly rare. Time to start hoarding though! Scalding Coffee posted:Those alien-looking enemies give you several times more XP than that giant. Good to know, those guys are jerks. I'll be sure to kill more of them.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44b1MoqJCJk Sorry for the lack of livestream this week, my back's been acting up, and yesterday kinda sucked. (And unlike some other internet people, I'm not bothering to beg for donations. ) Hopefully back to normal for next time though!
