Yeah, I know.
What's basically happening is that I'm trying to be stealthy, screwing it up, killing everything and coming out of it fine, but still feeling like I screwed up.
Also, the ability that lets you headshot kill dudes without poking your head up from cover.
The pistol in that game is pretty much an unstoppable god-weapon of doom.
The world needs to know.
Anyone here got Transformers: Fall of Cybertron on the 360?
I suck and have a serious case of RPer-where-he-shouldn't-be-syndrome, but you know, people to play with is always fun.
On another note, anyone here ever play Copy Kitty? It's basically Every Laser: The Game.
It is difficult to describe without making it sound like a Mega Man ripoff, I recommend looking up a video to get a feel for it.
Also raocow has played it if that matters to anyone.
Freeware.
Be aware that the game will troll you the first time you exit out of it (it gives a fake "You have [X] days remaining" notice. But yeah, it's freeware. I think there's plans for a Steam version but I forget.
Also perhaps calling it Every Laser is misleading, there are bombs, missiles, lightning, and tornadoes too. And of course, Tornadoes that shoot out Lightning Missile-Bombs.
I...
Where did the time go?
Yeeeeep.
That'll happen. For your own safety, don't try out Endless Mode.
Playing Runescape.
It's been like, four years since I last played it.
They've made so many little quality-of-life improvements, it's awesome. Tool belt? Money pouch? Ha, no more taking up half my inventory every time I want to do something.
I have yet to finish White
Blargle
I have a Black challenge running now, to get me ready for when I buy White 2 come Thursday.
I still need to go ahead and beat Red in HG. This was a lot less obnoxious back in Gen 2 when your opponent had zero EV's and awful movesets and a 30-level discrepancy was totally doable, but these days even a 10-level discrepancy is immense. After beating Gary there's pretty much no getting around having to just straight-up grind out 20 levels.
Still partway through White. Beat Elesa. Holy crap, I should've waited to trade evolve my Boldore, cause using a Gigalith for that gym is overkill. Man, Elesa did not stand a chance.
Also, 2nd place wars in Mario Kart 7 online matches are hilarious.
B2 and W2 are out Sunday?
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU but I'm not back into Pokeymans yet
Black Kyurem sucks. I'm getting White 2.
Also guess who's getting rid of his Snivy after catching a Riolu
Nobody, because Riolu is not worth sacrificing Snivy.
LUCARIO
Atk:110
Sp. Atk: 115
SERPERIOR
Atk: 75
Sp. Atk: 75
While it is true that Serperior is far, far faster, Lucario offers more immediate power.
But eh, you do things your way and I do things mine.
Lucario also has less defense, special defense, and HP than Serperior.
Yes, but Serperior is Smugleaf. That makes him inherently superior.
And Serperior has an advantage in defensive issues. With Serperior's 95 in both Defense and Special Defense, compared to Lucario's 70 in both, and Serperior having slightly more HP (75 compared to 70), Serperior is vastly more survivable than Lucario. Serperior's speed also helps, at 113 over 90, with Lucario being outspeeded by many Pokemon with distinct advantages over him- psychic types, fire types, etcetera.
It's true that normally Steel is a good defensive type, but Lucario carries on the Steel type's elemental weaknesses without the Defensive stats to back it up.
Lucario is a great character offensively, but it's very easy for him to be knocked out. Serperior backs up decent defensives with an okay typing and somewhat decent offence.
But, really: You can't deny that having Smugleaf on your team is the best thing.
Base 75 offensive stats = decent?
Well to be honest, I've always been an offensive player. There's a reason I prefer offensive monsters like Infernape and Gengar to defensive walls or (in Serperior's case) speedy support. Plus, the latter two are less useful in-game than they are in the metagame.
At the risk of sounding like a broken record, I reiterate: it is perfectly possible to beat the game with Serperior, which makes using Serperior OK. I just don't like using him, and in this case I choose Lucario over Serperior.
You have Giga Drain, Energy Ball, and potentially Leaf Storm or Solarbeam to back up the relatively lower offensive stats.
Lucario does have a decent movepool to back it up its much higher attacks, but it has nothing to back up its defences. And in a game like Pokemon, there is always going to be a faster, stronger Pokemon. (Fucking Hydreigon, I am dreading facing it.) It is much easier to win with bulky Pokemon here to back you up- a decent mix of offensive and defensive Pokemon is key.
It's perfectly possible to beat the game using Watchog.
No, seriously; I've seen it done.
Well, my own reasoning works against me here. There are much better offensive Pokemon than Lucario, but there are also much better defensive Pokemon than Serperior.
But we also have to take into account certain factors. For one, Deino is a bitch to level up. For another, you don't get Deino until Victory Road.
I meant on the opposing team's side.
Ah, OK.
But that's the thing. If you had a Pokemon that was better than every opponent's Pokemon ever, why bother playing the game at all?
A single misprediction can send a battle straight to hell.
In the metagame.
In-game, you're not playing against human beings. You're playing against an A.I, and no matter how clever or unfair the A.I is you'll always have superior reasoning up your sleeve. An A.I does not know how to use mispredictions/mistakes to its advantage, largely because it cannot switch.
Well, yes. My comment was specifically directed towards your comment about wanting offensive Pokemon, though- no matter how good yours gets, unless you grind to infinity or purposely manipulate breeding/EV's, the opponents are always going to have (at least one) better offensive Pokemon than you.
The opponent will also always have better defensive Pokemon, but your offensive Pokemon should be able to take care of that- if you had any.
Matching up offensive Pokemon against offensive Pokemon is very risky, is basically what I was saying.
