raocow's talkhaus

Finished the game. Boy, was that ending disappointing and somber. Especially slowly realizing the yt comment that spoiled the ending for me was spot-on. What bothers me the most is how the Abomination ended up becoming such a non-thing. I expected it to come to our side and wreck the warship by the ...

I love the death animation when you crash into a wall.

Sure cuts down on the backtracking... You always get Shotgun Ice first and Strike Chain last regardless of order... Wait, that stage doesn't have any Strike Chain attach points, does it? Oh. It does have strike chain points to unlock weapon upgrades, though it is possible to skip them by strategica...

I vote for him.

That's not how it works and Toxic Seahorse is the worst possible first candidate!

Also Ostrich first

MMX gate might be my favorite gate in the game. By the way, the way dashing off walls works when holding no directions other than down allows you to swerve backards, gain height, and swerve forward again. ** This is very important ** and makes certain unbeliavably annoying(not difficult, mind you) s...

I disagree that Jerry is clearly better, it mostly depends on your playstyle as I prefer her controls and use her as my "default" even though I'm at endgame. Her daggers are just excellent at dealing with certain enemies.

Though Mega Man IS the best set in the game

Daizo's levels are probably my favorites in the game.

Now I wonder how RAPTURE OF THE DEEP is gonna go. It sounds menacing and it is!!!

And thus, we inch ever closer to the first break-your-face level. Unless that got nerfed in the newest patch.

The Room often tears you apart.

YSP's gonna be a thing.

After that, coming back to the Suspicious Warehouse would be interesting!

Tomorrow's gonna be FUN.

One hour and twenty minutes. That's about par for Death!

Also, next nightmare gate is pretty creative and fun, though it used to be UNPLAYABLE in the demo.

You could take a detour to the Ice World warehouse, there's some fancy things there.
Also, that weird spot in the submap... I'm excited for it.

Also, digging the episode naming scheme.

raocow look at the credits -before- entering the levels!

We need to watch you descend into despair at the sight of certain names.

Also, works as a "one more level" prevention system.

Man, the new 6-frame bounce sure nerfed this boss!

I love his stupid arm-flailing tantrum.

Access Gate 3 is the only Gate in the game that explicitly requires you to go back with abilities acquired from later Gates to get every item. Wait what? Even the chest hidden above the bike section of Sigma 1 and the heart piece during the first Ridley chase? I maybe could have barely made it to t...

You could have gotten that heart in the room with the Holy Water, but it's kinda annoying.

Holy Water and Daggers are very spammable and hit like trucks. The daggers are probably my favorite projectile in the game!

Oh, a warning: when you fight Dracula (oh come on, that's not a spoiler) you might want to turn off the music otherwise ContentID WILL trip and make the video unavailable in places. Because Konami.

Also, Claire Belmont is indeed ridiculously fun when she gets all her tools. Look forward to that!

There is no way in hell this is gonna be savestateless.

That would be experience, it was technically made a bit harder.

OH LORD this is certainly going to be at least an episode 0.

raocow, the Magical Hills rewards those who study SCIENCE. Go become a scientist! Oh god, don't remind me about the final boss of Gate 3. It was where I got stuck in the demo and it took like 4 hours of bashing my head in before I finally beat it. I was like almost hyperventilating when the boss de...

That's been my impression since you broke boss checkpoints.

More on that story later when we get to Gate 5's last boss.

Jesus Christ how horrifying.

Hahaha I just noticed how layered the header comment for the boss is. This is gonna be fun.
