    So Nintendo finally released the NES Legend of Zelda for regular purchase on the 3DS Virtual Console, so my Ambassador Program copy gets an update giving it save states!


    Maybe finally I'll be able to finish the damn thing.

    Creature - Florida Dragon Turtle Human

    Downloaded Mega Man: Dr. Wily's Return yesterday; finished it today.


    Nice little game.


    Bugs:



    • Mega Man is more than one block wide.  He can't fall down two-block-wide shafts where the left block has spikes.  This makes it impossible to get an energy refill in Energy Man's stage...an item that's completely optional anyway.

    • The above also means Mega Man can't jump into ladder shafts.  He can fall through one of them (in Energy Man's stage) though.

    • Boss doors don't let Mega Man float through them.  Mega Man doesn't automatically walk into the boss room.  (This isn't really a big deal.)

    • The boss is triggered by a specific spot to the right of the boss door; just walking through it normally sets off the trigger but there is a way to evade that spot when entering Earth Man's boss room, thus leaving Mega Man walking dead...unless you simply use the M. Jump (Mega Jump? Moon Jump?) to trigger the boss.

    • Windows 7 Aero is not compatible with the kind of room scrolling that pauses the game for a moment to scroll.  It'll just flip your display to Windows 7 Basic.  (Also not really a big deal.)

    If you must eat a phoenix, boil it, do not roast it. This only encourages their mischievous habits.

    IT ATE MY HEART


    WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK, DRAGON


    WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU

  • MadassAlexMadassAlex
    One foot in front of the other, every day.

    Solution: Gear up and take it back.

    but the only sword is crappy


    like, even goblins have better swords


    (also i got dragons dogma for my birthday. five days early but eh)

  • ClockworkUniverseClockworkUniverse
    OOOooooOoOoOOoo, I'm a ghoOooOooOOOost!

    Better swords are easy to get.


    Warrior, I take it?

    Maybe Mega Man Revolution isn't completed yet?  Or just really buggy...

    warrior. and i found a better iron sword and a better round shield, yeah.


    so, i had to escort a hydra head to a duke somewhere


    i was like, okay, this shouldn't be that hard


    there were some goblins, some harpies, and some wolves, but nothing i couldn't handle.


    and then


    rocks fell


    and everyone died


    what the hell

    OOOooooOoOoOOoo, I'm a ghoOooOooOOOost!

    I prefer Strider myself.


    The rock fall trap...that's the only one I've encountered, but if you're under it when it triggers...yeah :/

    My main pawn is a Strider. But no, I just prefer the added security of being able to take a tough hit.

    Yeah, but Striders climb better, and climbing is the funnest part of the game, so even though Striders die easier, I find them funner to play as.

    I just find it really annoying to die all the time and have to restart. not fun in the least.

  • ClockworkUniverseClockworkUniverse
    OOOooooOoOoOOoo, I'm a ghoOooOooOOOost!

    Yeah...well, that kinda happens anyway.


    From now on, whenever someone claims Dark Souls is hard, I will have them play Dragon's Dogma for a bit.

  • SchitzoSchitzo
    They're somethin' else.

    How is Dark Souls compared to Demon's Souls? I'm very, very tempted to buy it now.

    What's it cost at this point?

    Much less constrained (it has an open world, and if you can see something, you can go there) and better balanced. And with significantly less unforeseeable bullshit. And I think it's longer. Basically, much more refined overall.


    And if you're a fan of hidden stories, i.e. stories that are really deep but most people don't even notice they're there, it has probably the best one in the medium (seriously, I think they might have had a few people who just did worldbuilding and nothing else).


    Amazon has it for a bit under $30 new.

  • SchitzoSchitzo

    hrm. I owe it to myself to get this, but I'm just so low on funds.

    Also, I've never actively played the online portions of the Souls series. Is it possible to play with a specific individual in these games?

    I don't actually know; I mostly play offline, myself.

    ... But Dragon's Dogma is easier than Dark Souls. Much, much easier. :V

    No, you can't play with a specific individual. There are summon signs that let you co-op, but they're all bound to a specific player, and I'm not sure you can see all of them. Otherwise, it's getting invaded by random players. (Cracked Red Eye Orb users, Darkmoons (who attack sinners only), Darkwraiths (who invade to steal Humanity), Forest Hunters (who only invade if you wander into a specific area), Gravelords (not the player themselves), and Path of the Dragon (Only if you have dragon scales).)

    I'm pretty sure I have now. :V Considering how I've been in and around Gran Soren for a while now and they're throwing me against giants and stupid skeletons and lizard monsters that I have to cut the tails off.

  • ClockworkUniverseClockworkUniverse
    OOOooooOoOoOOoo, I'm a ghoOooOooOOOost!
    Oh okay.



    Well...Dark Souls is significantly easier than that. I mean, you can run into a self-healing powered-up chimera as a random encounter, for crying out loud.

    As opposed to running into knights in one of the first zones in the game with no indication that you shouldn't fight them except that they look menacing. Or fighting a giant Taurus Demon on a narrow walkway it can knock you off of in one hit. :V

    Black Knights are easy to kill if you know Fireball. :P


     


    The Titanite Demon, on the other hand, has no excuse.

    I did not even bother to try to kill that.

    Looking badass and being on the game box is a pretty legitimate cue.

    I did! By plinking it with about 80 arrows.

    If something is on the cover, I usually expect to encounter it either fairly often or only as a storyline-mandated enemy, actually. Seeing as how it was just standing there, it was not a storyline-mandated boss, so I figured that it would be fair game.


    But haha no.


    Now, compare that to a game which explicitly tells you that there's nothing wrong with running from an enemy if you feel you can't handle it before doing stupid things like throwing enemies you feel you can't handle at you.
