I enjoyed the water one, because I felt like I was using my new skill in a Zelda sort of way, rather than just going for a weak point with whatever.

Jenuall thinks the uncharted games are crap too, so I'm cancelling him.

Bring out the YouTube face graphic!

Ok I have no idea where to go now, got directed from Ghavoran into the frozen section of Dairon and can’t see anywhere obvious I’m meant to be heading, any tips please? :)

We were watching YouTube videos at lunch time and the god awful thumbnails prompted me to tell the Mrs about your abominations!

When I make YT thumbnails, I can feel it pleasing the universe.

Feels like this has not be balanced properly for the Storm Missiles, they have made many encounters which I imagine are supposed to be more challenging pretty trivial since their introduction.

Perhaps if there was a greater cost to using them, or a longer charge time or something?

Still really enjoying this, been on a bit of an item hunt back through previous areas and picked up quite a few expansions now - including some for an upgrade I don't have yet, which I'm assuming is the power bomb?

Cool, feels like very few powers and/or upgrades to collect now - almost at full power :datass:

Re: the storm missiles-

They actually do less damage per missile than super missiles. Damage values are 100 per missile for regular, 300 per super, 400 per ice, and 300 per salvo of storm, but each storm salvo costs 3 missiles.

So that's where the balance comes from.

this explains why the black ball on the final boss takes less hits from single shots

I’m officially inept at this game :lol:

As I said earlier, I got pretty much directed between two areas but I’d somehow missed the pick up for the super misses :fp: Got them now :lol:

Edit, finally a boss I wasn’t awful at :datass: the Chozo Soldier didn’t stand a chance once I’d got my parrying skills down (which took more tries than the boss :lol:), found it very similar to the Mantis Lords from Hollow Knight to be honest, although the boss music wasn’t anywhere near the Mantis Lords one :wub:

Edit, then they spring one on you! Down without just a little damage taken :datass:

Just finished. Wow. What a game :datass:

Some niggles but loved it. 9/10 for me.

Did anyone else die on that final bit of the boss and think they had to do the whole fight again. I was fuming at the thought :lol:

Finished just under 12 hours with 80% items.

Not sure if I want to go for 100% items or take a break and give hard mode a bash.


Also: the credits music :datass:
