Dammit, didn't get Master Ninja rank in chapter 16. That makes two now.
I'm starting to get hungry though. Maybe I should eat...
...or I could keep playing since there's only three chapters left...

Glad you posted those cause I lost everything when I switched from my HD to SSD.
You'd also have to crop them since Gaf's avatar aspect ratio is different (unless you put vertical borders and leave the image alone).
Not really how we roll, those are old avatars, they'd end up looking shit transparent.

Training arcs are kinda boring, for those who just wanna see action.
And hard to write.
Ippo does it well.

Yo guys is Nidhogg netcode better on the Vita or Steam? Or are they both weird?
Banana Aeon

That netcode is offensive to humanity.
True, but it's important to show growth at the same time. I know i's boring to some, but I see a lot of people complaining about random powerboost in anime, plus even if it was only 5 EP I enjoyed the training arc in Dragon Ball
Random power boosts are dumb but I'd rather that that n 2-3 episodes of boring shit.
I guess it really depends on how they write it, I think Dragon Ball did it rather well. Plus the pay-off is usually is always worth it to me

I heard PS versions show no players online or some BS, but I unno.
TTGL
justifies it super well by tying everything to emotion and determination.
Well yes, that's my point. If it's boring I'd rather skip it so don't make it boring.

Its 3$ so I'm getting it anyway. I may not ever play online with it, but it's one more game for me to beat my brother at and feel like I accomplished something in life

You're caught up to me like I said!
Assuming it's back up tomorrow I'll play some with ya. I'll boot it back up tonight after work and re-familiarize myself with the game.
TTGL
does it well because there is a (un)steady growth throughout the series. It felt natural in a weird way.

If you get the chance to play Nidhogg locally just once or twice it's worth it. Hell, I think the Singleplayer isn't half bad. That game kicks ass.
Ippo has Takamura tho

Hmmm that's a shame. Guess I'm getting it on Steam in the future. Maybe they'll patch it by then.
Doubt it
What about him? It's established that he's the strongest from the get go.

Characters abilities are directly tied to to their development as characters. It's really satisfying.
Takamura should be in every training arc ever. He can just grab Goku's dick in the shower.

I'm still running around with mostly early game stuff myself so I'm getting my shit wrecked by some of the unique Abductors.
I haven't even tried to customize my character or accessory yet either. Partly because of lazyness but mostly because the game itself is just too fun.

Finally continuing the X Collection after a short break. This game is alright I guess. I have mixed feelings about it. I am definitely enjoying, but there are a lot of things that bug me. Rant time:
The stages in the game are so bland. At this point I've beaten every boss besides Magma Dragoon and I can't think of any level that I enjoyed. They're all really boring and some of them are just outright bad (I'm looking at you, Jet Stingray).
The bosses are incredibly easy. You may think it's unfair to say that since I'm using their weaknesses, but this wasn't an issue in X1. In X1, even if you used a boss' weakness, they were still difficult (Well, all of them besides Spark Mandrill). In X4 you just hit them with their weakness, they get stunned, and then they restart their pattern. It's a goddamn joke. You know what? It's not even just the bosses. The game itself is really easy. Neither the stage enemies or midbosses pose any real threat. Also, if you lose all your lives you can start from the halfway point and you keep the weapon energy you used.
Finally, you have the upgrades. Could they have made it a bigger pain in the ass to get some of them? Usually you just have to find the upgrade and have the proper means to get it, but in X4 you gotta do a bunch of dumb bullshit to get them. Two examples are Cyber Peacock and Storm Owl. In Cyber Peacock's stage you need to clear certain part's of the stage fast enough to get an S rank in order to get the upgrade. In Storm Owl's stage you need to use the lightning web to jump up a tight space with instakill spikes around it.

That game SUCKS. Or at least I didn't have any fun with it. I think the changes to basic movement physics and hitboxes soured me on it from the get go.
The escalation of stupid amount of upgrade stuff goes along with the series though. I think the Zero parts in X3 is too much, let alone what the later games have,

Man, Spectral Doku is such a pain in the fucking ass. Him stealing your life and using it to heal himself is the worst.
Also fuck ghost fish.
Oh well, Master Ninja rank again, at least. Two more chapters to go.

God the world map is such shit, who approved this crap. I'm constantly lost, and who thought adding enemies here was a good idea.
The best part is enemies randomly getting first strike for no reason.

Exactly what keeps me away from that game. I literally had to print out a map to navigate and I still haven't finished it yet.

Yeah it's the worst. The first strike thing is calculated against your luck skill like the old games.

I laugh at people who say X4 is the best one because of stuff like this. You feel so fucking heavy and laggy, and the music is not anything special. I'm pretty sure I enjoyed X8 a lot more than those games because it just felt close to X1-3 than those games.
Also PG hope you liked that optional shit cause you gotta do more of that in X5 if you wanna get the good end. Also also goodwil Zero parts were in X2

I don't think the game sucks, but it's certainly not a step up from X3. I have no issue with the physics of the game. It's different, but I'm not really bothered by it. The Zero Parts didn't bother bother me either because they didn't boost X's power. All it did was prevent you from having to fight an extra boss near the end. X4's upgrades is where I went "Yeah, this not good at all".
Here.
Yeah, I remember X5's bullshit all too well. Really dreading replaying it and X6.

No enemy should EVER get first strike again you in a game unless they ambushed you.
That's shit.

Yeah I'd really like 150x150 since it's not huge, but slightly bigger enough to make a difference

Which would be fine if I could attack them on the map, but I can't.
Thanks, yeah I figured I would be needing this.

I can believe xenogears has
a fighting mini game
You could always just crop and resize them. Not ideal I know but it's better than nothing
Yeah that's what I've been doing mostly.
This one was perfect, all I had to do was crop it.
You're at about were I stopped playing. I should really pick it up again.

Also love how you guys are shiting on X4 when Max just came out with a video saying how much he loves X4 today. Personally I love X4 but thats mainly because of nostalgia since it was the first megaman game I ever played.
God, I feel like shit today. I don't know if it's something I ate or a stomach flu but I've almost vomited 3 times this morning.
I forgot this website has signatures. They're set to off by default and I never bothered to turn them on.

Wait, it does? Shit. I didn't know that at all.
Sorry I didn't even read that first sentence, I hope you feel better soon.
Since when is Max an authority on Mega Man?

I can definitely see that.
FUCK. Why does misremembering shit about series I love make me so mad.
It's weird cause it's only a thing on the overworld. On foot it's like persona 3/4 where you have a third person camera and actually have to hit the opponent. I feel like it's a callback to the old games, and the overworld enemies aren't even as much hard as just fucking annoying. The fact you still get stopped by Level 5 encounter in late game sucks, even if you use Auto battle.
Geez man, I hope you feel better soon. I'm just starting to get over my week of illness. Also I wonder if anyone actually even has signatures on.
