Pretty much.
Is Starbound a better game to play? Like mechanics-wise, does it feel better? It certainly looks better.

BTW, I would have hung myself if I attacked an NPC by accident, your last post hurt me physically. I was super paranoid about the stupid triggers doing that to me- I did accidentally lunge off a cliff once or twice, so anytime in the nexus I was REALLY careful with the controller.Quote:

I started off with a straight Strength build but it's meandered into a Faith build as well. Using a combo of light and heavy armors (Assassin's mask, Gloom armor, Black armbands, Gloom Leggings), with the Dark Something Sheild +2, Crushing Battle Axe +5, Compound Longbow +10 and Talisman of the Beasts, Cling Ring and Thief's Ring. Keeps me under half equip burden so I don't have fat roll but it's not the pinnacle of movement either. I'm able to avoid the hits so long as I don't try attacking, it's 50/50 whether he will dodge them and counter me or just take the hit. I think this fight would still be the hardest one even with a partner.
Just got to the New Vegas part of Fallout New Vegas. I like this game, but it's kind of super-terrible in a lot of ways. I find myself finding ways to glitch out tougher enemies (successfully, more often than not!) instead of trying to play the game fairly. Deathclaw shows up and I'll I have is a pistol? Find a way to clip-walk around the edge of a mountain then gradually pick him off with a .9mm. Bunch of robots in a hallway? Fling dynamite around the edge of a door and hope. From there it's just waiting to level up until I can either lockpick or lie or science my way through the game, nothing else really amounts to much.
Pretty much an extended expansion pack for Fallout 3, totally worth the $2.50 I dropped on it.
I got killed pretty hard by Old King Doran the first time (well, first time after the fake fight), then I read a message in front of him: "Use Plague on the next enemy."
Oh, snap! Easiest boss fight ever.
You probably already know about this "cheat" though and want to fight him legit. In other games, I might agree, but not here. The Maneater fight took me several tries, but I did that straight-up. I *almost* died rolling off the platform when the second one was down to a sliver of health. I would have literally cried had I fallen. But I didn't. I beat him. And after that I was changed. I milked glitches and cheap tactics for all they were worth. I was so happy when Flamelurker got stuck on geometry running towards me and I was able to destroy him in relative safety from afar.
New Vegas is really bad about sending crazy powerful enemies at you if you venture off the intended path. Stick to the roads and try to go only where your current quests tell you to and you won't run into overpowered opposition. It really diminishes the sense of freedom that the game should have provided, but it'll be far less frustrating.Quote:

Long Live the Queen - got one good ending finally. Its ok. Has polish, but its mostly just class management. Not worlds more complicated than a choose your own adventure.
FF7 on steam - got to yuffies town. Don't remember what to do now.
Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia - I'm at Barlowe. I've saved all the people.
Order of Ecclesia is a fun little game with superb swordfeel.
It's a little too much classic castlevania to me. I always feel under powered and end up having to grind up to get enough potions to survive a new level or boss. Also the depad on the big ds is not that great
