raocow's talkhaus

I'm sorry but there are better ways to present gameplay stuff than 'here's this giant screen-sized swatch of text in your face', especially when you are in the momemtum of playing and having a good time You say that, but then you restarted like twice to see the last 3 seconds of a cutscene with lit...

So with this game coming to a close, I'm gonna share something that hasn't been brought up. This game had a rushed development (and a little bit of feature creep), and General Gaius was not the final boss in the original plans, and there was going to be one more chapter that would have essentially f...

I get the distinct impression this thread is just gonna be "it has furries therefore it sucks." Also, "Gonna nitpick every detail becuase it looks like it came out of deviantart." Except that deviantart hosts artists of literally EVERY skill level so that's basically bullshit. Ho...

Just a heads up, the item you get from doing the kickstarter area is simply bragging rights, it does not give you any benefits, it just looks neat. If you want to do it, do it after you fight the final boss. The kickstarter area is actually a series of arena fights, in which you have to survive 10 w...

I do know of a channel that did a full pacifist run, plus a special version of the final boss that is quite the thing.

I'll post a link to the playlist after raocow is done with Iji tho, to avoid spoilers.

Hey raocow, the yellow forcefield thing (resonance detonator I think) let's you reflect rockets, and send them right back to the person that launched it. It also works on those red orbs (they're called shocksplinters) and the big blue balls too. Too bad it has such a long reload time tho. You'll pro...

Congrats! You'll like the next 2 dungeons, as you'll get an upgrade for each 1 you beat. Don't worry about ammo for subweapons too much, they purposely give you more than enough. also, there are top wall secrets. They're only on the top part of walls, and they need to be attacked. These appear nowhe...

Hah, oh man someone uploaded the scans for the startropics manual: http://startropics.com/media/scans/startropics_box_and_instructions.pdf Not only that, but they had the NES ATLAS strategy guide too! http://startropics.com/media/scans/startropics_nes_game_atlas.pdf Man that is some serious nostalgi...

Actually, withe the Nautilus boss, you just jump back and forth across the 5 tiles, waiting a bit for it to aim at you. You'll dodge more than just jumping back and from the 2 corner tiles. The 2 that require the anklet are red herrings, and will get you hurt more often than not. Also, the boss can ...

Just so ya'll know, you just need to jump in place when you entire that room, and you'll be fine. The blue tiles are timed so that they will always give you just enough time to jump, and they will always reappear underneath you if you do jump. Also, this dungeon actually marks the end of the arbitra...

Oh yeah, this bit. Really, all it would've took was a shift in enemy placement. Start them on an "impossible" tile, so that the first thing a player sees is the the enemy jumping on what would otherwise be water. It's a great way to "nudge" the player into doing something they ot...

Graveyard is the worst place in the game honestly, once you're past it, the cheap deaths are mostly behind you. Nah, the Graveyard is just tricky. Btw raocow, you almost reached the end of the dungeon, after that little skull arena, there really aren't any tricky rooms left, it's more of a brawl to...

I think you should play something purely for yourself that will keep your interest - you don't want to get bored or burnt-out on your first solo-LP! (It would suck if your first LP became a chore for you and put you off making future Let's Plays) BUT, since you did ask for opinions from the audienc...

And I just said to never trust the game's generosity. Seriously, if the game is giving you stuff for nothing, there's probably either death and/or pain nearby.

Just as an FYI, I'd use http://strawpoll.me/ for future polls. It'll be a lot easier on yourself to use that instead of manually counting all the votes. It also has an option to only allow 1 vote per person. I'd honestly wouldn;t mind watching someone play the original Witcher, as I tried it myself ...

i admire how you are still trying to be fair with startropics it is a harsh merciless game, it is a "good game" as far as classic hard games go, it is fair in a sense that you can train yourself to be skilled at the game, and play it well but it is still quite bad in terms of being reason...

There's also a part that requires some musical knowledge that's kinda massive BS, but we can help with that should you get stuck. I'm pretty sure the piano writes out the notes when you step on them, so I don't see how you need even a hint of musical knowledge to do that one. Maybe if you don't hav...

Fair warning raocow, sometime after the 3rd dungeon or so, the game is gonna ask you for a password, and said password cannot be found in the game itself. It was part of the instruction manual, yes, the actual instruction manual that came with the game. Said password is in the spoiler above, and yes...

I love how this game perfectly captures the non-plot of many old games. EVIL THINGS EXIST AND MAKE BAD THINGS HAPPEN. GO DESTROY EVIL THINGS. Literally the plot of every NES game. And yes, this is coming from someone who grew up with the NES. It was pretty grand in it's simplicity, because it was l...

Man, if I hadn't just gotten my first job when this started I totally would've participated. Oh well, I'm pretty sure there's likely gonna be a MaGL X3 sometime next year.

Is this gonna be like last year in that the actual release will be after raocow has LP'd the entire thing?

There are some genuinely good ideas in here. Too bad they're all ruined by "IT'S GOTTA BE KAIZO!" Ah well, that was the purpose of the contest. Too bad really, so far the only ones I've really, really liked are the first 2 levels. Though, we did go from the top straight to the bottom so ye...

Oh, yeah, something else. That switch after the train ride breaks the Grey Skull blocks. Also, for the Lawyer boss, his sword slash tells are actually based on the direction of his sheath. If its horizontal, it's a long slash, if it's diagonal-up, it's an uppercut slash. If it's diagonal done, it's ...

Despite having issues with sound crashing, I can tell you that once raocow gets that new upgrade (the not Parry one) the store now carries, the game will literally get a shitload easier, no joke. I mean, you think critical strike is your go-to range attack? HAH! This thing is the ultimate in safely ...
