xenophobic people? Klonoa games have a story?

yeah the first game had a lot of cutscene's,i remember near the ending there is an all dramatic cutscene where klonoa friendly ball thingie reveals himself to be an alien prince

Played about an hour of Mega Man X

it's a hard game. I picked the Chameleon Man for the first level and couldn't beat him. Then picked the Penguin dude next and beat him. Then some electricity dude next but couldn't get by the mid-boss. Finally capped it off with Eagle Man.

And that's where the little pleasure centers in the brain started firing off and the key to what made Mega Man popular kicked off. I used a power I obtained in a level to beat the boss in another level. A power I may not have had at this point based on what levels I decided to go with.

Specifically I used the dash move to counter Eagle Man's wind phase to get in on his face and fill it with BUSTER. There was a big dumb grin when I killed his bird bitch ass and got his power.

I def enjoyed it. Will play more.

If you would like to watch me be bad at Mega Man, you can watch the recording here: http://www.twitch.tv/fistfulofmetal/b/438429990

SHUT UP I AM A BABBY GAMER

Rufus · « **Reply #20886 on:** July 30, 2013, 09:57:30 PM »

Done with Klonoa 2. Holds up pretty well still. The levels just flow very naturally. No filler, nothing repeats too often, just very well paced all around. Difficulty wasn't that high, but god help you if you don't have a few extra lives saved up for the last level. You can fall to your death in almost every of the 10 or so sections. The hover board bits were a bit annoying as well, but I tend to overcompensate in the turns so it could just be me.
As far as the story (I apparently hadn't tried pressing start before, as that skips the cutscenes entirely...) you basically end up fighting the lonely and depressed last survivor of a destroyed kingdom. Huh. Oh, and the Volk look like hedgehogs. 5/5 Wahoos, I guess.

I need to try Klonoa 2. I've only seen a bit of it at a friend's college dorm some years and years ago before she swore off anything Sony/Japanese and became a hardcore Xbot. Really liked the first game, or at least the Wii remake. It's cool how you have a fairly limited moveset but the level design has you stretching the moveset to the absolute limit.

I've been playing more MGS Rising. Still not feeling it, a lot of the mechanics are poorly explained, and fuck rotating the joystick real fast Mario Party style when you are in hitstun. I'll stick with it a bit more, then go off to play Penny Arcade ep 4 or maybe finally play that copy of Asura's Wraith my brother lent me last year that I haven't played much of yet.

Klonoa was great. The sequel was well done, but those hover board sections were horrible. The whole game is about 2D gameplay, so adding z-depth crap was not only poorly implemented, but an antithesis to the game's larger philosophy.

Surfing, snowboarding, skating. I didn't know what to call them, but if that thing works on solid surfaces without wheels it must be a hover board.

And yeah, those sections weren't very good, but they were doable. I had perspective issue in some other places as well, but at least you know that you can make a jump on a 2D plane because there's no other way forward.

Graduated from playing Crash Course to playing its sequel. There is a difference between free and free-to-play, and the sequel is riddled with little transactions, building up Stars to unlock levels, or paying for them with premium currency Coins, which they give you a little of at the start, and possibly a little more as you progress.

I haven't paid any money yet, though I probably will. It is a fun game, just a little grabby.

Saints Row 2 - 3 is the only game in the series that I've played and I loved it so I figured it's probably time to play that copy of 2 I got with my PS3 version of Third. Only a couple hours in but it's fun so far - I loved how over the top and crazy SR3 was but I still really like the more toned down but still humorous thing they're going for here. Graphics are a little outdated but the gameplay is still solid open world stuff and there's so much to do everywhere. Glad I gave this a chance.

just start with chill penguin,he gets stun everytime you shoot him and all of his attacks have huge tell... if you can't even beat him then no video is going to save you,chill penguin stage also has the much needed dash boot upgrade

after that as long as you use the right subweapon on the boss,they always get stunned and you can stunlock them... the weakness go

chill penguin -> spark mandrill -> armored armadillo -> launch octopus -> boomer kuwanger -> sting chameleon -> storm eagle -> flame mammoth

flame mammoth is another easy boss to start with since the arena you fight him his huge and he's pretty slow overall (coincidentaly chill penguin is weak to his weapon) but his stage becomes easier if you do chill penguins as it freeze all the lava in the stage

It's sloppy. I honestly don't care. The videos show how boring the level design in the game is, I'm completely apathetic in this, and I'm not playing for perfection. It doesn't help I can't configure the snes9x emulator to allow up+left/up+right;etc. for some reason, and you can probably tell in some sections like the part where I'm going to reach the heart.

Either way, you get the point.

Biggest tip? Change dash to L. It is practically required. Having it on face button or double tapping is gay.

Alright, done with God of War: Ascension

Fun 7 hour spin-off God of War title that feels about on par with the two PSP GoW games but with GoWIII graphics. It looks nice and the combat has a lot more depth (they got rid of the main complaint that GoW is a mash-fest by removing the hit stun affect your attack has on enemies so they'll just cut right through you if you mash. Gotta actually block and wait for openings and counter now), but the combat has it's own frustrations (half the moves locked behind a RAGE meter that drops to nothing if you're hit once and enemies are super aggressive) and there's only like 3 locations you explore in the game and the story is nonsense.

If you like God of War (like me), and you enjoy romping through Greek Mythology with a big dumb guy who punches people in the face; it's a fun couple of nights action game. Every GoW has had its ups and downs but I've still found them all enjoyable (still like GoW1 the least; goddamn hades wall of blades) and I could keep playing a GoW game once a year for a half-dozen hours and be happy with the series. But hopefully next time they do something a little more interesting with at least the adventure aspect and non-combat gameplay. Combat in this game taken to a sequel level could actually be all the combat improvement they need.
