I've already played and beaten Bayonetta 2, I oddly got pretty far in Bayonetta 1 afterwards, but then I just needed a break from the whole thing. Revengence needs a sequel though. Ninja Gaiden Dragon Sword is interesting. It's definitely playable, but would probably beat the hell out of your screen. I haven't found Razors Edge cheap enough, if I find it for like $15 I'll get it. With Armstrong you really have to reign in your urge to combo. You pretty much have to run in for a quick swipe or two and then get out of dodge. Beating him is dependent on the quick time stuff. Luckily I got that weird special counter one twice that dwindles down a good portion of his health. Sundowner and Armstrong are really different from the rest, for some odd reason Mistral is my favorite though. The music with that one and the atmosphere and pacing really just gets me pumped. Speaking of Mistral, the woman that does the vocals for A Stranger I Remain has or had a group called KidneyThieves. They were pretty damn good too, fuck ton of attitude.

Ask me something on any given part of LoK's story, and it's going to be more criticism than praise. And when I see anything that is somewhat well done I usually think it could have been better. I don't think there's much to be uncertain about here. I don't like Legend of Korra.yeah, it's wild. I'll never watch it again, but I'm glad I saw it the once.
Veelk when asked if he likes Korra
But I'm of the belief that stories are more that just how 'good' they are. I wouldn't have spent hours upon hours writing about something that wasn't important to me in some way. I think the fact that I care about LoK is more important than whether I like it or not. Stories are more than mere entertainment to me.

Sundowner introduces the emphasis on precision cutting and having to line up multiple boxes. Armstrong is no more dependent on quick time than any other boss (save for probably Blade Wolf).
You can combo him, but he has certain moves that make it tough.
He's far more difficult with Jetstream Sam, since he adds an extra move to his arsenal. Plus, all the enemies and bosses are harder on Jetstream Sam's DLC.

Is Sam pretty much like Jeanne in Bayonetta where you really can't do the slow mo shit? Last time I remember beating Blade Wolf I pretty much just parried the shit out of him.

My god how NSFW is Doxy? Looking at some of this stuff, a real woman would either tip the fuck over or grow up with severe back pain with the proportions he gives women.

He has an entirely different style to his combat. He has no AR and can't do stealth kills, but he has a taunt which causes enemies to be more aggressive but they take more damage (applies to bosses). His combat has an emphasis on air combos and charging attacks.
See guys and gals! Veelk doesn't like anything!
Just kidding.

Sounds really challenging since I'm not the best at landing the launcher. Pretty much it sounds like my crutch is taken away. How does Blade Wolf play?

It's not saddening, really. It's a successor series, and as such there are expectations. For a lot of people, those expectations were not reached. That includes a good chunk of AvatarGAF. Me personally, I loved it, but I've been shown to be far more lenient on issues a lot of others seem to have.
Blade Wolf is the opposite of Sam. Strong emphasis on stealth with extremely limited combos and limited items. No taunt, has AR.
Also has a health recharge function if you sit still. Plus, Sam and Wolf have different frames on their parries from Raiden. Wolf is also low to the ground, so he doesn't deflect bullets since they just fly over him. He has the highest jump (a lot of platform sequences), whereas Sam has the shortest. Sam has a double jump and an air dash to compensate. I can't prove it, but Wolf might have the fastest run out of the three. Wolf also has an exclusive boss battle with a guy named Khamsin, the Desert Storm. His theme is cool as hell.

I don't hate it, I actually quite like it, it's just that some aspects of it are very easy to pick apart.

Here's a Blade Wolf S-Rank video. Skip to 6:03 to skip the cutscenes.

It's only accurate if Bataar is sleeping in the bath tub or on the toilet.
I like it.
I'd say about it's about evenly split amongst avatargaf over Korra and critics absolutely love the show.
Just those more super negative ones are usually a lot louder. Case in point the recent LTTP Avatar thread.
BKatastrophe

That thread wasn't nearly as bad as the "The Legend of Korra is the greatest show I've ever seen!!" thread.
Good lord that was horrendous.

Bath tub it is. He just has to move Desna out the way. Yes, he goes to the North Pole to sleep.
Haha yeah, though I feel bad about the recent one as he's trying to talk about Avatar but getting overshadowed by people piling the hate on Korra.

Interesting, he seems more dodge focused, but that doesn't look bad at all. Granted I just got decent at dodging today so what do I really know.
She really just does not need the guy. Too many holes in that leaky ship, barely even a ship, more like a pontoon.

I like his posts, but whenever ATLA is brought up, TLoK hate is bound to follow.
It is what it is. Eventually it'll blow over, though. Once all the hype and aftermath (which has all notably overstayed it's welcome) dies out, I'm sure it'll be one of those instances where people look back and go "Hey that show wasn't all that bad" and some might go "Wow that show was terrible."
It'll never actually go away until people having different tastes and opinions goes away, but there will eventually be a day where people will stop instantly going directly to TLoK hate when ATLA comes up.
Blade Wolf's DLC and Sam's are harder than Raiden's story, but for different reasons. With Sam, its because he's fighting high-level enemies. With Blade Wolf, it's because Wolf is weak as shit. He can't take a punch, deal a punch, his parry is shit, and his dodge is huge (which is good and bad), and he has few combo strings.
Granted, he does have the longest range on his zandatsu, so that's a cool thing.

Ouch, Wolf needs to eat better dog food, dude's a glass canon...not even actually, just glass. I'll have to mess around with those two at a later date.
Criticize the book 3 finale.

I actually found Wolf to be the most fun to play as, since he has the smallest tool set out of all the characters. It forces you to be a lot more creative and more experimental in order to push his abilities to their limits.

Rough as in exhausting, not bad. I'm fine, just kind of a zombie inside for the moment.

When I faced him I never knew that you could interrupt his regen state, I had an all out war with that motherfucker, best boss fight on the generation.

Yall better stop messing with him before he fucks around and blesses us with a Veelk of epic proportions. We gonna be on OT3 when he finishes.
BKatastrophe

Oh stop.
Stop it.
Honestly at that point we should make a general community thread and call it "The Treehouse."
Just for us at this point.
It's not even a Korra thread anymore. Save for the fan art.
I wouldn't worry too much. The emotional and physical exhaustion I've gone through in the past two days means I'm not gonna be making another Veelk for atleast a few days.
Hope everything is going ok for you!

you ok? You have us to vent should you need it. At this point BK is right, we're pretty much a mini family at this juncture that talks about anything while Jaded and I post fan art.
Well this is true, personally I love the series (uneven as it is) but everyone knows that I suppose.
It's a good thing that the Korra bashing died down, I was pretty close to going Veelking all over that thread, copy pasting posts from an old account on the subject, mods be damned.
He has done lightning/electricity redirection, one handed no windup lightning, shot someone out of a car, killed Ming Hua, and he killed the giant mech.
The feats don't lie
This was probably Mako's best moment in the entire series I'll give you that, I'd still only place him as 'very good' but there isn't much to compare him against.
Also hilarious initial concept art for Korra crashing Republic City
And a Badass Fire Ferrets group picture

Korrasami art in general has become too wholesome and sweet for this thread. Needs more kink/umph to incite reactions, but not too far [i.e. Owler] to get banned. Iahfy is usually a safe bet for the middle ground kinky korrasami stuff.
Edit: Of course I still appreciate Korrasami art posts

Other than the "holy shit they actually did it!" Korrasami ending, Makos lightning was the only thing that got me excited in the finale.
Again, it's nothing bad or anything. I'm perfectly fine. In fact, I enjoyed this weekend a lot. Saw my aunt and uncle for the first time in like 4 years, went to a surprisingly fun party, met a cute girl, and made a dent in my huge school workload. The worst thing that happened is a really drunk aunt made some hilariously inappropriate comments to me that I made me scream internally, but that's going to make for a funny story later. It's all good.

A shoulder tackle vs Mako's lightning? The tackle was cool but didn't get as much hype from me.

This is true, probably why I stay away from Korrasami art in general. I enjoy posting Kuvira art though... any reason to make Toa angry makes me smile on the inside.
At least all is well on your end
