raocow's talkhaus

Good to know then. I guess that these levels must act like the end of world airship does with the exception of not moving when you die.

RaoTASes when? https://i.imgur.com/X4wPrBI.png Also I noticed this in the video which I just cannot unsee. For some reason the bottom log on every turret has no border between the log and pipe. you can't use a cloud to skip these kinds of 'sprite' levels sadly, otherwise I'd have done it Does the mu...

Literally never played any of these games myself but the art style is certainly very distinctive. Seems so far that the gameplay is kinda like Contra which isn't necessarily a bad thing even if it's not really my kind of game.

Looks fine to me. Not really a fan of the art style but the puzzle mechanics look like they could be pretty interesting.

Wtf were they thinking when they made blowing up the tube that finicky? That is such a strange design decision. It's no wonder so many people thought it didn't work even after being told about it. I only heard about it after I dropped the game but if I'd tried it and failed more than once I'd have j...

@raocow The remaining software you missed just gave some combat boosts when combined with different software. (Most notably I think it's the one that acts like a soma when combined with one software and increases invulnerability time when combined with another.) One thing you didn't show off that wo...

(I keep hearing from people that you can bomb that glass tube but despite hearing this from a lot of people I have yet to actually come across anyone who has personally done it. The closest to that was someone earlier in the thread, possibly Voltgloss, who tried it before completing the Corridor of...

I dunno it's also possible I'm just explaining myself badly After that last post I think we're both largely in agreement for the most part and it's just a matter of our perspectives managing to miss each other. For the record I agree that they could have done better to help players figure out combo...

but... but that is why I didn't use apps. I'm sorry if the way my brain engages with things isn't valid apparently ?! The issue is that you actively used combos in the first game but are acting like the second game is somehow worse when the first game only ever explains like one combo. (The one for...

raocow, your excuse for not using app combos kinda sucks to be blunt. Your excuse basically boils down to the game not giving you the combos in the way you want and then doubling down by refusing to even use a guide. Like if you don't want to use them, fine. Just don't go with such an easily counter...

The spike room, or more specifically Fenrir refight, is why I ended up dropping the game. I actually thoroughly enjoyed Hell Temple as a whole in the first game. Except for that shitty spike room. It's worse here though since failing it means refighting Fenrir. And at the time I reached it this mean...

I really didn't care for Echidna at all. Tiamat was my favorite guardian in the first game but Echidna just ends up feeling like a really half-assed knockoff of her. She's more tedious to fight, dodging her attacks is a mess since you're highly encouraged to rely on subweapons for this fight, and sh...

Interestingly, 4-4 was modified for All-Stars. In the beginning of the stage the water is much lower than in the NES version. This is necessary to keep water level consistent. Curiously, the water level is not consistent within the bonus room of 4-4. https://www.nesmaps.com/maps/SuperMarioBrothers3...

And one of the npcs is proof enough that alien races not created by the Mother do in fact exist. I forget where he is (he's one of the shop keepers, I want to say in Ancient Chaos or Heaven's Labyrinth) but I want to say his glossary specifically mentions him being from the Andromeda galaxy. And hi...

That's about how I did the Phaia and Viy Jr. fights myself. Apparently Viy Jr. was updated to not have those annoying bubbles in one of the later updates on normal difficulty but that wasn't the case when I played so there was basically no safe spot on the screen to catch your breath. Phaia is a pai...

The Nemean Lion path was the only path I was able to actually succeed at before obtaining the Nemean Lion Pelt. Delphyne and the Nemean Lion are both cheesable and the other one (was that one the Lernaean Hydra? I forget) is just really easy. Phaia and Viy Jr. on the other hand I recall being the mo...

Hel was a very difficult fight. The only reason I disliked fighting her was simply because she was definitely outside my skill window. She's a lot better than most of the other guardians though and her being so difficult does make some sense since she's supposed to be one of the final two guardians ...

The reason why raocow died by getting points in a Hammer Bros fight is that the star music was playing, and my code was specifically checking for Hammer Bros fight music. I forgot you can use a star from an inventory. That's hilarious, I love it. To be fair, having the music be the thing that's bei...

That said, I'm glad you managed to beat Fenrir in one sitting, I most certainly did not. That was my *most hated sub-boss* in this game, bar none. It is just... Not fun to fight. I'd usually have positive things to say about how a thing is developed, but I can't think of a single thing. The best I ...

As a person who's seen the result of decompiling a small program created in Visual Basic back in my first job, I sincerely hope C# is easier - If it was anything like that, I wouldn't wish it on my enemies. It's not fun trying to understand all the weird twists that decompiling had on it, like for-...

Unfortunately, I don't think I'd be seeing this kind of indepth statistical info without literally decompiling the game, so that dream will have to continue to exist in the untouched subconscious. Considering the game was made in Unity instead of their own game engine, unlike the first game, I don'...

Looks like Surtr is still a complete nightmare to fight. The addition of poison lava instead of pits actually doesn't look to help all that much really. I had a lot less trouble with Surtr than other people did but that was sheer luck. I forget exactly what I did was but I quickly managed to zero in...

I wonder if now's the time to just the time to buck up and grind for that Angel Shield (which I assume functions the same as the Angel Shield in LM1 in not buckling at all). I feel like a big part of Ladon's issues is the bullet spam, and the Silver Shield does buckle after a few hits. raocow proba...

Solid 6/10

The really cringy part was all the Youtube comments going "Wow raocow, Undertale when?!?!?1?!?!?!/!?!/!?!"
