Done with the Rising videos. So glad they played it. That game cannot get enough love.

And I haven't played it for a year or so. Some of that stuff towards the end...woof. Thanks, Mark.
 
Oh no 'Easy' difficulty.

Please tell me it's like normal, but the only difference is the parrying?

The auto-parrying is a separate option from the difficulty. Other things are easier too, like blade time lasting an eternity which lets Drew basically stay in ripper mode permanently later in the game.
 
God the new player is still so shitty for me. Constantly skipping. I get better playback on the Video Buddy on my phone. Makes watching premium videos a chore.
 
Man, watching Rising and Dan is encouraging Drew not to parry which is disappointing. I don't even care that he played on easy but the game is so much better with the parry.
 
SPOILERS, but here is a list of things that don't happen in the run:

-No alternate costumes, even after Dan freaks out about Grey Fox suit and they both laugh about Mariachi outfit
-After the first time they have access to it, the Codec is never used again
-No sub weapons are ever purchased, much less equipped
 
7/16/2008 Bombcast:

Jeff's band opened for Run DMC, Bloodhound Gang, and Nerf Herder.

Knew about Bloodhound Gang, but not the other two.

Honestly, maybe i'm a scrub but i found all of the
sub weapons
completely useless
 
Dan and Drew seems to be zoned out of the game while having their non-related conversation and I'm zoned out of their conversation while having the video on in the background. This is multiple layers of being zoned out.

Even video buddy has been freaking out on me lately. The stream icon doesn't come up until I open the news section for a few seconds then go back to the main menu.

The best one is definitely Mistrals. (why are we spoilering sub weapons for a 6 year old game). I think out of all of them, it's the strongest guard breaker, the longest reach, and actually usable.

idk he spoiler-ed so i followed suit.

I would use each for about 30 seconds then say, "eh, id rather use the sword"
 
Maybe its because they played on easy, but i kinda end up scrubbing a bit more than i'd like this ER.

There banter about stuff was fun, but just wasn't much 'excitement' from watching the video vs just having it on the background.

shame they missed out the codecs.
 
I'm very very sad drew apparently never learnt the rule of "parry everything".

Just skipped ahead to the monsoon fight

Banter is good though and Cutscene reactions are what I was hoping for
 
I think the Giant Machines quick look sorta broke me. Like.. I don't have a problem with Dan asking questions about random stuff but at the same time, I think 5 minutes of that quick look was just Vinny trying to teach Dan how to change a tire.

Edit: Just saw that people were talking about it already, been catching up with all the new stuff.

The huge range on the pole arm is also great for crowd control, especially for stuff like swarms of dwarf gecko. For bosses, it's only really useful in Mistral's own fight, but it's pretty powerful in normal combat.

Also you can plant the pole and swing around it like that fucking Matrix Reloaded bit, so

He kinda figures it out around the A.I. Monsoon fight.
