I think I need to accept that I'll never beat Drakengard 3. The final boss is a rhythm game. The boss shoots out waves of music and you have to tap a button when the wave hits you. And then it starts playing with the speed.

 

And there are plenty of moments towards the end where you can't follow it visually. The action's off-screen, the screen is all black. All you have is the sound and timing. And sometimes the timing has changed.

 

If you miss even once, you're done. The leading method of beating it seems to be syncing up video guides and following their timing. But I'm not having much luck syncing.

 

I loved the journey of the game, but thank god Nier: Automata didn't have this kind of bs.

Just watch the ending on YouTube. I did that for the first Nier.

 

I did watch the ending on Youtube. But doing that for Nier? Not even on the same level. SHAME

Quitting a game at final boss is like prematurely pulling out.

When the bag falls off and you see the bits that look so horrible they completely spoil the experience, pulling out and running away seems like a natural reaction.

 

... Not sure why would you watch the rest on Youtube tho.

Some people like to watch. No judgment.

Princess Remedy in a World of Hurt. Short (around an hour) and free game on Steam. Kind of a combination of Earthbound (or more accurately, the indie game OFF, but I don't think virtually anybody has played that, so not a good reference point) combined with the Binding of Isaac and a top-down shooter* for combat. It was a little fun game, and I'm considering buying the $3 sequel.

 

*Edited because I originally said fighter jet sim, which was not right, haha.

 

(edit again): Apparently, this game was made in just 4 days at a game jam. I'm rather impressed, to be honest...it's not a fantastic game by any means, but it's pretty decent and fun for what it is.

How I have existed fills me with horror. For I have failed in everything - spelling, arithmetic, riding, tennis, golf; dancing, singing, acting; wife, mistress, whore, friend. Even cooking. And I do not excuse myself with the usual escape of 'not trying'. I tried with all my heart.

In my dreams, I am not crippled. In my dreams, I dance.

I bought the $3 sequel and beat it. It was also a fun little game that was mostly similar. Yay!

Yeah, bad choice of words on my part. I haven't played a top-down shooter in about a million years, so I couldn't even remember what they were called...and went with what I thought it was. :p

 

Now a jet sim in this would be something else...

I wouldn't mind a jet sim...*cough*...my joystick hasn't seen action in years! :D :p

 

On a different note: I just got Persona 5! Whoop Dee Doo! 

 

EDIT: I also came across a Limited Edition of No Man's Sky for the PS4 and decided to buy it since it was relatively cheap and I must say it's ok. I'll treat it like a walking simulator.

I'm the enemy, 'cause I like to think, I like to read. I'm into freedom of speech, and freedom of choice. I'm the kinda guy that likes to sit in a greasy spoon and wonder, "Gee, should I have the T-bone steak or the jumbo rack of barbecue ribs with the side-order of gravy fries?" I want high cholesterol! I wanna eat bacon, and butter, and buckets of cheese, okay?! I wanna smoke a Cuban cigar the size of Cincinnati in the non-smoking section! I wanna run naked through the street, with green Jell-O all over my body, reading Playboy magazine. Why? Because I suddenly may feel the need to, okay, pal? I've SEEN the future. Do you know what it is? It's a 47-year-old virgin sitting around in his beige pajamas, drinking a banana-broccoli shake, singing "I'm an Oscar Meyer Wiene"

Finished Act I with my undead warband. My Vampire charged a Rat Ogre, missed with his attack and got knocked to the ground by the Rat Ogre's counter-attack. It then proceeded to pummel him until he was no more than a Wile E. Coyote - style hole in the ground.

Anybody tried using Axii in W3? I got the alt form of it that allows me to take control of an opponent, which is exactly the kind of combat pace changer that I need - thing is, every time I take control of somebody, he gets one-shot by other opponents, regardless of his health. I'm also playing the highest difficulty so I wonder if buffed enemy damage isn't screwing around with balance.

I went with Quen & during my one and only playthrough at normal difficulty. Come to think of it, maybe I should have went with Axii since I didn't bother with the higher difficulty settings.

I scooped up Serious Sam HD First and Second Encounters, since Croteam recently updated them with the Fusion Engine with Linux support, Vulkan renderer, and 64-bit, plus they were 90% off so it was the price of a cup of coffee for both games (and not even a fancy schmancy latte or anything, just plain coffee) .  The games run crazy fast with the Vulkan renderer, even if you enable ridiculous graphic options, plus Serious Sam still holds up today.  The crazy overwhelming waves of enemy, frantic strafing and shooting gameplay, and cheesy as **** one-liners still hold up.  Also, I still hate Kleer skeletons every bit as much today as over a decade ago.  :p

I still remember listening to Marilyn Mansons Holy Wood while trashing through the hordes. Serious Sam is quite good at what it does. Are there any (newer) similar games anyway?

Depends on the level of similarity you want.

Painkiller from a decade ago, the new Doom, Hard Reset, which is Painkiller with sci-fi. The 2013 Shadow Warrior.

Possibly some others I don't remember. Also Serious Sam 3 is supposed to be bad and/or buggy.

Hard Reset for me was the game with most similarities, but narrower corridors and robots. For me 10 out of 10 on happy mayhem scale :-P

Go and play Doom (2016), basically. It never throws overwhelming numbers at you like Serious Sam did (it never has too many opponents at once in fact), but it more than makes up for that by being mechanically brilliant. It's among the purest FPS games I have ever played.
