raocow's talkhaus

By the way, is there an embargo on people LPing this until raocow does? If not I'd love to give it a try.

Oh man, I haven't been this hyped to play a romhack since VIP5 came out.

My only real interaction with Spitznagl was during the advent Christmas thing, but during that time he was always very cheerful and helpful. He struck me as a really kindhearted person, and I'm sorry to hear he's passed on. My heart goes out to his family.

Rest in peace, friend.

It's quite an achievement make a level so long that *I* object to the length.

Seriously guy, what were you thinking?

It also strikes me as a really strange choice that he places those pentagrams around that hurt you. It's just this entire game we've used smaller versions of those circles to heal-up and suddenly having big ones that take a while to turn purple and then start hurting the player seems weird. They do...

That worm attack is such a morale killer. And I totally stand by what I said about undogable attacks, because It's happened on video multiple times now. If you are off grabbing health when the scream or the laser starts, its probably too late by the time you see it. Not to mention that worm-laser co...

The main thing that ruins this fight for me is how big the arena is. The game forces you to go after those green orbs, but doing so often means that jehoul will be offscreen. And since literally all of his tells are based on his movement, you get into situations (e.g. the laser) that force you to ta...

I got to this boss last night, saw that he spawns other worms , and immediately exited the game. (except for blue balls on Demon difficulty) hahahahahahahahahaaerkionhyaonadkinfhoainerdhg,xdfh https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/45182539/Images/Why.webm I am feeling very little motivation to beat th...

This boss would be a lot more fun if it wasn't for the stupid skeleton portals. It seems totally random where they appear on the battlefield, and you're better of restarting until they both spawn on one side.

Mario 2 had really surreal aesthetics at some points, and I feel like this is the first level I've seen that managed to capture that vibe. The use of hammer bros also seemed really enjoyable. Definitely one of the best SMB2 level's I've encountered.

I still didn't get to this point lol. I'm stuck at the vertical "gauntlet" with the crumbling platforms and the bunch of enemies attacking you during it, and I'm assuming Azurel is not too far after that. Maybe I'm doing something wrong but this place is batshit insane in hard mode to me ...

I can't seem to find the source anymore, but solgryn confirmed that the official pronunciation is "Vee" and not the awful "Vai" or whatever !! https://twitter.com/Soulgryn/statuses/630571411967483905 But that ruins the "I wanna be the vi" pun. That's too steep a price ...

what do you all think is harder: the orcs or the upper-path boss?

I like you just blazed through that part where you have to hit the switch 5 times in succession, and with normal jumps at that. That was honestly pretty good lol, you can just flutter over the spikes every time you hit the switch and you have a lot more let Lower boss prediction: raocow will have a...

the reason I prefered the 'kill one statue really quickly' strategy is as such: rage sequences can be learned, and almost form a sort of break. However the bits in between turn into absolute chaos roughly halfway through the fight. so the way I was going at it was 'well, if I kill a statue as quick...

its hard to put into words how unfun that gargoyle fight is.

Yep, he's ridiculous, and, coincidentally, the hardest boss to no-damage. Vertical sections are much, much easier than horizontal though, so it kind of swaps between survival and aggression. I spent about an hour on him so far and made it to the second horizontal section only twice. I just don't ge...

if there is a significant difference between the damage from the slash and the projectiles, it might be better idea to try to stay close enough to the boss for the first one to occur (on the angry phase). It could get the health down for the boss quicker. raocow most likely tried that way already t...

raocow, the only thing that heals the robot are the little health drones. Just shoot them before they touch. What is it with solgyrn and disproportionately hard bosses? I feel like 90% of my time in both wings of vi and boshy is spent fighting bosses, and the whole time I just want to get back to th...

What is it with solgyrn and disproportionately hard bosses? I feel like 90% of my time in both wings of vi and boshy is spent fighting bosses, and the whole time I just want to get back to the platforming bits. (I say this having just beaten terravine . Within about 30 mins I was up against the next...

okay, how the hell do you dodge terravine's insta-kill attack? is the only way to use the minecart? what happens if you run out? I'm almost positive that's just a DPS race. Kill him before he gets four lasers off. I have no idea how possible that is in Demon mode, but it's not super impossible in M...

we aren't offended, we are just criticizing it Doesn't matter. By spending 90% of the thread complaining about character designs, rape jokes, etc. you are throwing discussion about gameplay and fun to the wayside. I don't know about you, but I'm here to share enthusiasm for video games. I don't car...

Good job with the first 'real' boss there raocow! Don't beat yourself up over it, it's a shift in difficulty and it's hard to conquer, but god do I love how it was designed. Unfortunately for me, the falling section afterwards just feels amateurish in design. The waves of missiles just look and fee...
