The boss battles in Rising are just so damn satisfying. Nothing like parrying Monsoon over and over again as he dives at you out of a smoke cloud.
Got this last night!
MGR is shaping my reflexes, I am going to be on the ball for Dark Souls II and Valdis Story.
I tip my hat to you sir. I still haven't managed to beat any boss without taking damage.

That's funny, cause it's listed on the editor's choice page when I go there.

Did you do that on hard or revengeance?
Either way, good job.
When you think you're ready, VR mission 18 is calling you, ser.
I don't really think it does.
Unless you live in a really bigot family, the consequences of you being spotted by a family member while watching a NFSW .gif would be way less worse than you being seen doing the same at work. The worst case scenario, you'll be jockingly called a pervert, while at work you could lose your job for inappropriate behavior.
So it doesn't really compare, does it?
Just messing with you. :lol
Today I got my first booster pack, I shouldn't have opened it. Three Dr. Eggman cards for Sonic All-Stars Racing Transformed, this is after my initial cards from the card drops being Eggman save one. I don't think I'm ever crafting that badge, but still it's nice to know I can actually indeed get a booster pack.
While not action packed, save for certain moments of things going terribly wrong... oh wait I guess that is like Gravity... hmm. Okay, I have a game you might appreciate then.

Sandbox, create a station or a ship or a mining platforming, Newton physics being followed, everything built is destructible (as seen in the trailer), etc.

The Sonic Transformed update so far appears to be just the return of the random button on the character select screen.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
Good point - but strangely it's at the top of the list but not the bottom. When I try to check out, it still wants to charge me $2. I have 11 coupons remaining, and would gladly give one up for a free Steam game I don't already own.
It will certainly help my parries and dodging appropriately.
I hope we can run Dark Souls II at >60 FPS, I just overclocked my monitor's refresh rate and the extra 20% makes quite the difference.
Why thank you.
The Armstrong fight really brings together all of the mechanics from the game, parrying, dodging, and Blade Mode. Unfortunately, Blade Mode was a real weakness for me the entire game and the Armstrong fight brought it out to the forefront.
I did the first part of the fight so many times getting to the Blade Mode section that I was getting there very quickly and with no damage. Didn't take long once I went back and secured that achievement. Of course, in a long fight like that, it is easy to drop your guard and let in some damage near the end.
Hard, I haven't even unlocked Revengeance yet.

Is that Port Royale 3 in the new Bundlestars one the game that has the legendary :weed: emoticon that's selling for insane prices on the Community Market?
No worries.
Well, it's a licensed game, so don't dawdle too much.
The very same.

I opened up a YouTube video of it to see what it was and was greeted with terrible live-action FMV.
That makes it at least worth a punt.

Did you watch / like the movie? I'm expecting similar garbage.
Damnit, JaseC.
bought.
bought.
No, but it has been calling out to me from Netflix for awhile now.
I hope it is the good kind of terrible instead of the bad kind.

I like how minimal that is.

Exactly. That's why I was asking about it.
Heh. Well, I hope you give it a try on Revengeance. I'll be eventually going for that Lightning God achievement (again).
The trick to free form blade mode is that you have to just lift your thumb off the stick. I tend to want to pull it back to neutral and the jutter causes the alignment to go off and I get hit sometimes. :\ Also, if you get 3/4 of the boxes, it's usually "good enough" if you're trying to be quick and not run out of blade mode energy -- or you could use infinite wig b.
Hard is good practice for Revengeance though, but Revengeance becomes more focused on the ability to parry properly. Doing so and you can almost 1 shot anything in the game. Speaking of... that Monsoon fight is one of the worst because I always forget that after a certain health %, he does that ... go-go-gadget attack... and it's a hard one to block, let alone parry if you're on auto-pilot.
I don't think I've ever parried in any souls game lol
wwwhhhhhaaaa????

I figured out my issues with Blade Mode and I got it down perfectly, now I am super accurate with the thing.
I mostly parry when playing online.

Have any of you ever watched a movie that then put you in the mood to play a game? I realize that's a bit random
but that happened to me last night. Was watching Pirates of the Caribbean and suddenly really wanted to play AC IV. Anyways, off to go get my pirate fix.
weird?

Damn. Parrying makes me feel beastly in Dark Souls.
Here's my leftovers.

Two screenshots on that store page.
They're basically admitting they haven't shown the public much of the game yet.
Switch to one hand, parry, switch back to two.

I've never gotten a booster pack...
You need to level up a bit.
Working on it.

Oh. The separates aren't even discounted...
The individual games seem to have no discount though, which is strange

MGR is shaping up my reflexes, I am going to be on the ball for Dark Souls II and Valdis Story.
Is it for the whole boss fight or just the second part?
