raocow's talkhaus

So wait are the speed ups passives or actives? The chaos emeralds are just flat more health and energy

I feel like Crash Bandicoot eventually gets one that's *fine*. Mostly because the darkness gimmicks in the games are secretly just races

They really couldn't come up with a better name, huh? Cocoa Island was fine, why even change that name?

You know, if there was more screen real estate to work with in this game, it might actually be a lot better. But alas, Game Gear.

Okay, so far we've had one boss that actually used the mechanics of the game in a meaningful way. Two if you count the weird midboss in Amazing Arena that looked like it wanted you to throw your partner. On the flipside, that boss (I think botanic base) looked like a mess that was hard to control, s...

A random level select thing in a game like this is kind of silly when you think about it. So are mid-bosses where you have to hit the thing in its head a certain number of times or let the time limit run out depending on which act you're in. Especially since apparently time of day affects enemy and...

Tbe auotes between the cods make me think Polro's death was engineered and made to look like an accident. That's what I always thought, but his death being a genuine accident would mean Elro's lashing out was even more pointless. Now it could be argued that Elro killing Grey in a heated moment did e...

Well, Elro was right. The rocket didn't help, and all it accomplished was the deaths of 3 people, the destruction of the moon base, and the star worm coming even sooner. But he's alsl the catalyst for most of Robin's problems throughout the game- and by extension those three deaths. And the herry on...

Black had her last headache

The HP to one stuff is extremely good. Since the gamecspawns enemoes for you to get hrslth frpm you're not in as much danger as you think, and it's a greqt way to show just how powerful Black is.

Yeah I just wanna echo all of that. I love Elro, he sucks so much.

God I love love LOVE this boss and this boss music. The harsh mechanical percussipn just makes it, amd it ends up bwing one of my favprite bosses purely because of that.

Is he maybe pressing down an extra time?

WRT the spongy things: a missile will kill them in one hit, but a lot of them are set up to be difficult to do that. I never knew harder mode actually added stuff, I jut thought it was flat damage increases.

As you've noticed, interactions can go a little differently depending on what you say to people. If you do let Royal come with you after he dispatches the Silver Watchman, he does indeed splorch out of you to talk about the machine. And obviously, since he's already with you he doesn't ask to accomp...

Oh god damnit it really was an ivory tower

Yep, that sure was a public execution. I don't think it was necessarily supposed to be that, judging from the mild surprise of the showmen, but I suppose it works out for them. Considering it ultimately keeps Gerrie from talking, and instills fear in the other denizens of the tower from ever leaving.

Big the cat rules and I will hear no dissention

Honestly I like the dumb edgelord stuff later in the stories. At best it can actually be kinda interesting, and at worst the juxtaposition of cartoon hedgehogs talking about war is very funny to me.

i remember seeing it in the trailer, at the very least

I follow konjak on twitter and I saw this boss pop up a couple times yeah

No?

Getting to play as Mina for a short stretch is a really good time. It's a nice "holy shitf moment, and she's very different from Robin mechanically. Of cpurse, she doesn't hav enough mechanics to carry a whole game, but she's not the protagonist so she doesn't have to. Here's where the game tak...

I feel like "boss surrounded by circling orbs" is an archetype that should be being counted too Alright, I believe we're up to 6 now then! Metropolis Robotnik, Hydrocity midboss, Icecap midboss, Launch Base midboss, Metal Sonic, and Death Egg midboss. 7 if you count launch base robotnik, ...

I like it. It's funny without coming across as mean or gross. I like Elro. I mean he sucks, but that's why I like him. He's written very deliberately, and Konjak did a good job with his character. It's the same thing with Chrome, who's a nice, polite, cordial man...who is also a high ranking general...

Pontus is a good name. This boss can be a nightmare if you forget that you can ground pound the top, which I did. And hey, welcome to shockwood! And welcome to ghosts as well! They kinda suck when you wanna actually do some platforming, because they don't leave you alone! I think you did the right t...
