raocow's talkhaus

Isn't at least one available if you complete a certain cheevo that doesn't require beating the game? As AweStriker said, only one is available that way. You have to visit Nebur's shop 40 times which is actually quite a lot and unlikely to happen in one playthrough. I usually got my weights at her s...

whoops I figured raocow was going for the colored chest the ingame way, or I would a offered the kickstarter key as well, (wasnt sure if talking about those was a spoiler either) If anyone else wants them, just ask. It makes more sense this way considering you can only unlock one costume before bas...

I distinctly remember that place being called “Dark Lord’s Mausoleum” on my playthrough (right around the release date of the game), so I’m guessing the “Star” was added in a later update. Interesting. I want to say that the third, fourth, or fifth update to the game (or perhaps more than one of th...

I knew there had to be more to it because if you go down it to the Shrine of the Frost Giants, and then try leaving, which is something raocow didn't do before discovering he can manipulate the corridor, you end up with a one-way trip to Ancient Chaos, which then leads you to Hall of Malice like he...

Finished Paradise Killer. It was overall pretty interesting but I still stand by my previous criticisms. I also feel that the trial at the end is a lot more linear than it feels it should be. Once you've gathered your evidence during gameplay, all that remains at the trial is accusing the correct pe...

I was walled by not figuring out how to use the Beherit on the Corridor of Blood for so long . Well done raocow. The issue, at least for me, is that the one tablet showing use of the Beherit (which raocow re-read today) is a tablet that I read before receiving the Beherit, so I didn't recognize it ...

I'm not a huge fan of the party system and liked the older ones' with just Adol in the "party." I know that this is the system going forward (I did play Memories of Celceta earlier) unless they change it. Unfortunately that's going to be the case going forward. (Including the upcoming Ys ...

My friend wrote a review of this game, and this was a concern he raised in it. Small spoilers for that follow, that may give you some context to calibrate your expectations by: There's a lot of wandering back and forth across the island talking to people to get clues that you then have to use to ge...

Been playing Paradise Killer. It's something similar to Danganronpa but more open world and with a weirder theme. (The society in question is some weird society which kidnaps people from the real world to try and revive their apparently Lovecraftian gods.) It has some annoying issues though. It has ...

I'm amused that you decided to show your misses in the winning fight against Nidhogg, but it really highlights how tedious that strat was. Nidhogg is pretty tedious period. I ended up just shooting him in the face until he died. At that point I was a fair bit further along than raocow was and thus ...

it's like every session that doesn't end with a boss fight I have this reaction of 'but what did I accomplish?!?!' This is one of the biggest design flaws of the game in my opinion. I recall when I first played through it I ended nearly every session feeling much the same, even if I could tell logi...

Leave it to raocow to forget a trapdoor he's fallen through and is standing literally right next to in order to take a long detour to reach the seal he's trying to get to, lol. Correct me if I'm wrong, but are you referring to that small area in the Ancient Chaos? Because I seem to recall that the g...

If only they'd added the ability to crawl in this game, then he wouldn't have had to miss out on that money.

Oh wait.

Well you can add 1 to that count, to me it was one of the biggest non-puzzles in the entire game. Basically went "is this even a puzzle?" then solved it first attempt. Was exactly the type of solution I expected from a La-Mulana game, even without having gotten particularly far in it myse...

Yes, that's all you have to do if I recall. It stonewalled me (and seemingly everyone else in this thread as well!) because it really, really seems like you need the glove given the block there. I don't think I've seen anyone get it right away or even quickly on their first blind attempt. Which suc...

Also with the Eternal Prison that area is literally one of the final areas, so it's to be expected that it's really challenging and somewhat annoying. I don't think many areas are that much worse than traveling through the first game's Graveyard of the Giants or the Chamber of Birth, or some of the...

And today raocow encounters one of my least favorite parts of LM2. Enemy/trap layouts that constantly juggle you into each other and/or from high places. A lot of them are like Annwfn too where it's hard to even clear a path if you're trying to be cautious so you just have to go for it making it ext...

Fafnir was probably my favorite of the Guardians. The rest largely just

felt like they were inferior rip off of the La-Mulana 1 Guardians. Especially Echidna.

To be perfectly fair, the eventual solution was a complete me problem. I missed an item i could have gotten a fair while ago, which eventually led me to finding an area I had overlooked which got me the item I needed to progress. Even though I'm already getting stuck again I think the game handles ...

so whats different about hardmode?? more enemies that also deal more damage while also have increased HP?? or there is more like platforming is harder and new boss attacks or something? The major effect on the original was more enemies and frequently in exceedingly irritating positions. They were o...

I was rather disappointed in the sequel. The actual gameplay is better and the music and story are perfectly fine. But the level design is quite infuriating compared to the first game, the bosses are pretty much all inferior to the first game's bosses, and trying to figure out where to go is far too...

That was a rather neat level but there's no way in hell I'd ever consider playing it myself, lol. Even with savestates it looked like it'd be a huge pain but I can only imagine how awful your hands would feel after completing it.

After all the recent conversations around the talkhaus about the Ys series I decided to start replaying Memories of Celceta. Though I decided that since I already beat it once I'd just play however seems most fun and cheated for a bunch of money so I could buy the gold urn items from the guy in the ...

the worst take ive ever seen in my life was that celeste had too many checkpoints, so im gonna take the hard pivot far opposite side opinion checkpoint extremist here and say savescumming is the truest form of gaming People actually say that?? If anything I'd say there's some spots in Celeste that ...

yeah it's gone from my list, youtube deleated it to summarize, it appears that I had issues getting it to upload originally. So I had uploaded it again, and it worked, and everything was great. At some point youtube must have had a server update or something and detected that there where two identi...
