Re: Crash Bandicoot Trilogy - U R Not Red E

This is the best crash game if you're not going for 100%. If you are going 100%, it becomes as much of a tedious mess as the previous two games, and the frequency with which vehicle levels appear and hinder your ability to get boxes makes crash 3 perhaps the most frustrating experience of the trilo...

Re: Donkey Kong Country 3 - Unbelievable type of a situation

(paraphrased) DKC3 doesn't have the "spark" because its level design makes you wait a lot. Interestingly enough, I have a wildly different opinion on this. I don't think the slower gameplay rhythm is a problem at all. I think the "spark" is more about the game as a piece of art ...

Re: Celeste - Everest

Hmm you're right, I guess I was considering a "beat it now or pretty fast" point a view, but if you give raocow 2 weeks I think he can do it. I think his performance at Hollow Knight lowered my estimates, but he just wasn't that good at that specific game.

Re: Celeste - Everest

Chapter 9 is incredibly hard. I would say that it's harder than the version of Pantheon of Hallownest which raocow faced (with several nerfed bosses).
I'm not sure raocow can beat it,
but at least mistakes don't kick you back very far.

Re: Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga - Drama Mistery

Piranha Bean drops one of two items, the Piranha Swing or Piranha Suit, depending on the method by which you defeat it. But there's no way to get both; you can only get one or the other, meaning it's impossible to collect every item in the game. They fixed it in the remake, so it's definitely a mis...

Re: Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga - SMWCP

So, I just want to take a moment to discuss the music in this game, which in many cases has been extremely good (except for maybe the town theme). I've been watching A Raving Loon's FFV FJF runs, and today he mentioned how, when you spend enough time playing games like these, you can start sussing ...

Re: Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga - Kouhai

Don't forget to use your Bros attacks on dangerous enemies! Also, notice than when you clip the wings off a Parabeanie, it becomes a regular Beanie and does way less damage, so you may want to focus first on getting rid of both sets of wings before actually killing them.

Re: Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga - The Ninji Saga

Speaking of stats, I wonder what's more preferable between HP and defense. Obviously if your max health is so low that you regularly go into single digits, you would probably want to raise your HP, but a smart RPG system would reward some investment to defense. Healing items/abilities with fixed he...

Re: Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga - Rob-Omb's Quest

Would there be any chance that the imperfect emulation is making the minigame clock run faster for some reason? I remember having this in Donkey Kong 64, making a lot of timed challenges impossible with the wrong emulator.

Re: Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga - Kamek's Revenge

Re: damage numbers. If you don't like small numbers, just pretend there's a "k" attached to all of them, thus making 9 into 9000! Also, I trust rao will adapt and improve. This game is super light on the RPG mechanics, as you basically only ever attack, and heal when needed. There's a tiny...

I feel that this game isn't good/polished enough to merit raocow trying so hard at beating it legit. How about going back to good old savestates?

Re: HOLLOW KNIGHT - Blessings

Flukenest replaces shade soul with 16 flukes(9 if you have the weaker version of the spell) that each deal 4 damage, 5 if you have shaman stone. So that's up to 80 damage if you shotgun bosses with it, which is... a lot. The only time normal shade soul can match this is when it also has shaman ston...

I'll say what I've been saying since day one: he's not going to beat it. It's just too hard. I think it'll take one or two more days for him to give up.

I think he might have the will to at least reach the final boss

Re: HOLLOW KNIGHT - Blessings

Honestly, you did a great job fighting PV here. It doesn't feel like he took you that long to beat at all (30 minutes to an hour?). But you're right that your current fighting style makes facing him at the end of a longish boss rush not a good idea. I recommend practicing some more before attempting...

With one exception! The double jump has ...
