Continuing my Metroid Prime hypermode run defeated the Omega Pirate, got the phazon suit and flamethrower, a power bomb expansion and the 3 last energy tanks, so I have all the energy I can get. I think I'm well armored with 130 missiles and all combos.

now let's talk about the Omega Pirate:

He is a motherfucking son of a bitch. the chamber where he is has phazon pools that of course cause damage if you step on them, the pirate is huge leaving little room to maneuver while trying to avoid the pools, hopefully the damage this phazon cause isn't severe and you can mostly ignore his presence.
you first need to break the phazon he has in his legs and shoulders that resist thousands of shoots each and can only be shoot when attacks. luckily I learned that the wave beam can hit it anyway if you shoot with an angle thanks to the homing nature of it. or use the wavebuster, just leave enough missiles to shoot 6 supermissiles to the omega's face once he is vulnerable.
what you can't ignore are the elemental pirates that come to protect the omega when he is vulnerable. on veteran/normal you can ignore them, but on hypermode they are a treat and you'll need to defeat at least one to survive and at the same time attack the omega or else he'll recover unscratched and back to shoot his legs and shoulders.
I should also mention that the omega is invisible when vulnerable, you need to change to x-ray visor to find it.

You can actually use a power bomb to instantly disable 2, 3, or even all 4 of his weak points, with enough skill and appropriate timing. Can't rely on it the whole battle obviously (unless you really have THAT many power bombs), but it certainly helps!

oohhhhh. didn't even tried using that, as historically those do little to nothing to bosses.
welp, he is already beaten but t-thanks.
I need to go to the impact crater and search for the artifacts if my memory serves me well. I already got 4(or 5) artifacts while searching other stuff, so I have a head start.

Out of what had to be at least 30 matches, almost all being my Link vs his Marth, I won only 4 times. Maybe 3. I should've kept count, but man. Time just passed by, it became over 2 hours. That first win made me act out Rocky's celebration after running the steps. All this gaming while listening to Bruce Campbell's voice in the form of his autobiography audiobook. Pretty good night, despite the overwhelming amount of losses.

I've finally finished the first Patapon after losing many caps on that dreaded final battle.

Yep. You need to time it correctly, though. Plant it on the ground where you think will be between his legs by the time it detonates, and watch things go boom! A badly placed one might only take out one of his arms or legs, but even then, that's still seriously helpful!

One of my favorite things about Prime 3 is how the unlock/reveal the required end-game collectibles to you very early in the game. Sure, in Prime and Prime 2 I think you could technically stumble upon them early by accident and start collecting then, but generally you go the whole game not knowing until the end, and then going on a hunt before you could finish the game. I find the hunt pretty fun personally, but I don't like doing it all at once towards the end.

As soon as you have the space jump boots(AKA: as soon as you land if you do the early sjb on GC) you can get the clues if you go to the impact crater. but if you already know where they are you can go and get them once you regain the abilities needed, for example one located in magmoor you need the x-ray visor to see it's there, but can be obtained as soon as you get supermissiles if you know where to shoot.
doing that you can get all the artifacts before even putting a foot on the impact crater.

Well, I hunted the remaining artifacts and got some more missiles, now I have a whopping 160 missiles. but didn't went to "play" with RIDLAY. tonight will be the moment for that.

I finally beat Arkham City.

This game...wow. Definitely deserved the GOTY title. It was even better than the already great first game. Now I'm more than positive to get the third one. Hell, I might even get into super heroes.

Don't have too high expectations for Arkham Origins, it's good but not as good as City, in my opinion. If you start playing it with too high expectations you may get disappointed

Since the wife is finally starting to recover from her injuries (long road ahead but at least she's starting to feel better, if a little angry) I've been able to relax a bit the last few days. Started a new Mass Effect Trilogy run, it's a series I come back to every now and then. Enjoying ME1 so far with my new character but I've gone a bit mental with the sidequests and treasure hunting. I've not even rescued Liara yet or been to Feros, but I already have a complete set of Spectre weapons, the best armour, a huge selection of upgrades, maxed stats in almost everything important, great equipment for my entire team and I'm about 20 levels higher than I need to be. So regretably now even on the highest difficulty settings there's no challenge left at all, I'm O.P as fuck, killing everything in seconds. My biggest problem in the game is trying not to follow the exact same path I took on my last playthrough. Which means NOT sleeping with Liara...feels unnatural. Especially since Ashley is an annoying stuck up prom queen space racist.

Played Splatoon all the weekend. completed story mode and the Inkling girl amiibo challenges. then played online and I'm level 8 now.
just one more thing to say, I. FUCKING. HATE. THE. INKSTRIKE. :hateit:

on Metroid Prime Trilogy news. I tried, I really tried but Meta Ridley always defeat me at the last moment. so I'm still stuck there.

DragorianSword · Jun 1, 2015

Been playing Final Fantasy IV for the last week.
Didn't realize I had played it before until I got the monk in my party :rofl2:

Just turned Cecil into a paladin and I'm on my way to Baron.

MaskedRed · Jun 1, 2015

I just Passed Shantae and The Pirate's Curse not so long ago and i passed the DLC for Saint's row 3, i didnt really enjoy the Genkibowl 7 one.I thoroughly enjoyed Shantae, a tad easier than the others and easier to find the secrets in the game but really cool finally boss.

Which version are you playing? The GBA, PSP and original JP SNES versions are fairly similar, with the PSP version being much easier partially because it allows you to switch characters' turns around like FF6-9. The DS version has that too but the game is much, MUCH harder and it's a completely different game with different mechanics.

A certain encounter underground will kick your ass in the DS version despite being a cakewalk in the original.

I'm playing the DS version of the game.
What's different about the mechanics in this version?
Not a big fan of the active time battle system actually. I like the turn-based and conditional turn based systems more.
I like to plan and think ahead my attacks, because now I'm just in a rush to select the right attacks.

Sychophantom · Jun 1, 2015

Found a second copy of Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories for the GBA. I think it might have been my girlfriend's, and I got all of her games when she decided she didn't want her GBA anymore.

Don't know if I want to play it, or trade it somewhere.

TripleSMoon · Jun 2, 2015

I beat Shantae and the Pirate's Curse (Wii U) with a 100% completion rating. I already did this when the game first came out on 3DS last year, but figured why the hell not, and double-dipped for the Wii U version. I was going for a no-death run, but unfortunately died once against Dagron. Oh, well. There's always next time. You can see my end-game stats, courtesy of Miiverse, here.

Vipera · Jun 2, 2015

I beat Breath of Death VII.

I liked it, because it shows how bland a classic RPG can be without all the filler. It took me 5 hours to beat it, and I'm ok with that.

New abilities, the ability to switch turns,(had to select defend to switch turns in the original) totally new items/enemy stats, pretty much everything so it'd take a very long time to mention everything. The whole Augment system is new as well, and it's a much much harder game than the original FF4 was. Switch the battle mode to wait if you want something closer to turn-based.

Taleweaver · Jun 9, 2015

Played through my farm life and my farm life 2. Little time wasters, but there's some learning curve to it to beat the right time.

Also played 'A story of my uncle'. It's somewhat like 'Dear Esther': story-driven and very beautiful, but little in terms of gameplay (in this case, there are some jumping puzzles, but they're not the meat of the game).

Sakitoshi · Jun 9, 2015

Played Momodora the other day and Momodora 2 last night. short but really enjoyable metroidvanias. I'll most probably play Momodora 3 today, I really recommend them.
