raocow's talkhaus

I like how the game often gives you an out before fighting a boss. There's often (always?) a way to BTFO and explore elsewhere to get better prepared. Also, I like the Metroid school of items on the map better. That way you can tell if you backed off because you couldn't get an item or if it's a dea...

Tomorrow's gonna be one hell of a something.

And there we go, now the game is blown wide open and you can just stumble into anywhere and get something worthwhile.

Hah, I forgot that's when you got the Bunny Amulet. I thought it was gonna be something else that's a tad more useful.

Progressing the plot would be a wise decision right now. Of course, not doing so is also wise for different reasons! Althought that's going to make you go "oh." once you progress. I agree, as I fear any bosses on the story path may get cream-walked if rao get's too powerful. That's not ho...

I'm so glad you went off the beaten path. This is the Rabi-Ribi experience. By the way, try fast dropping after a wall jump.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that you CAN walljump without having to come from under a wall. You just have to do a wiggle next to the wall. Try wigglin' sometime. Also, you can skip the base and get the slippers the first time you see them by wall jumping through :v This game's skips are BONKERS and...

I wouldn't worry too much, this game is gonna have multiple episodes of just wandering around.

raocow, follow the tags and your dreams. There's a reason people were telling you to skip all the cutscenes! Cut off the gross tough rind and bite into the juicy insides of gameplay. The yellow shot is the best! Once I got it, I just held the shoot button for the rest of the entire game to attack fo...

Ok, but then he has to also play Challenger From The Future. PS: If the GB games counts as their own games, will raocow play Xtremes? The first post in the Coming Up Next thread has the list. Trying to get Gunvolt on there myself since it's basically the other spiritual successor that ain't MN9. Oo...

If i remember correctly you can hold the hammer button to slow down and make your hitbox visible at any time. That's right, it's one of the hidden techs like the quick drop and the reverse wall jump. There's a few more of those, but most are minor attack ones iirc - the major one is RWJ because it ...

Actually, now that raocow mentions it, I also had a hell of a time trying to leave the shop the first time I played the game.

R&F's OST is so goooooooooood

Hah, Dr. Light likes the internet. I like how that's consistent with Battle Network.

Yeah, fighting a boss is not usually a "stop" indicator in Rabi-Ribi, at least in the early bits. Yeah, this game has SO MANY of them. And to do a wall jump you have to run under a wall, jump towards the same wall, then hold away while jumping. It's awkward, but you can get the hang of it...

Wot? I just looked this up and her Japanese name is written イリス not アリス. Iris(u) is definitely her real name. I assumed it was left as Irisu due to Irisu Syndrome, a fairly popular Japanese indie game featuring a rabbit girl which I'm fully expecting references to in this game. Ah, then it's a pun.

But,,, the CDs!!

...By the way, Alice's outfit is absolutely not supposed to resemble Sakuya at all. No way.

And not-Nitori is apparently blocking the way to the beach.

I guess we're going to be seeing a lot of that?

Yuuuuuuuup. This is pretty much bootleg Touhou.

This is the stupidesssst

e: Oh, R&F is next. Absolutely love this game.

Hey raocow, attack is bound to Right Trigger as well as Y. I highly recommend using RT to free up your fingers for more important actions. Also, you DO have a wall jump right now. Explaining how to use it is very convoluted and it's only useful in certain situations. ...By the way, Alice's outfit is...

Remember when I said X4 Sigma was really easy when you got to know him? Now you've experienced it! Also, remember that Zero only got his saber on X2. It was given by Sigma to him. He only had the Z-buster before. And Zero's also not a reploid, because that would mean he was created based on X's desi...

Oh yeah, I forgot about Vile.
You know what? They just didn't think anything through plotwise :v

You know, the X series really isn't the place for this discussion. It only comes up in X4 and X6, then gets dropped entirely. We never actually get to understand what kind of government is in place. Also, there was a more elegant way they could have handled Iris's death: Zero not being able to bring...

So, here's the stupid part: Iris. She's a robot. Ant yet Zero is all torn about """killing""" her. You know? Zero? The guy who killed himself and just got casually fixed? For all we know she just went into safety mode or something! She didn't blow up into nothingness li...
