breahs be honest, is DMC5 good. I fucking love bayonetta and MGR, but I couldn't beat DmC4 it bored me to tears. Nero was just so fucking boring, maybe it gets good later but I couldn't do it. Is 5 gucci

Not him, but Eternal Darkness does a poor job explaining higher level spells, so I learned by noticing the pattern on a barrier in one of the levels

Yes

I believe that's from Transistor. Looks like it, anyhow.

Jake's chapter from RE6.

My dads friend knew the cheat codes and told me all of them. I had them written down in a little notebook where I would draw all the enemies. It was until I was in my teenage years I figured out how to actually kill the Icon of Sin.

I thought it was meant to be unkillable unless you noclipped. I thought the devil being a tortured woman who cried out in pain when you attacked it was supposed to make you feel bad. I also was DEEPLY disturbed when you had to kill the commander keens. That fucking sound they make when they die

The first time I fought Gherman is actually the most fun I've ever had with a game. He's not the hardest boss in the game or anything, especially when you factor in the DLC, but nothing builds hype like that seeing him get up to fight you, especially considering he's only trying to save you from the nightmare.

Happens in most of the early 3D Sonic games. It got old by the 06 game.

Especially in metroidvania type games. Even in Other M with the Rhedogian which harasses you 4 times in the mid story and there's 2 more post-credits, but at the end you can kill one with a single Power Bomb.

Its my favorite Mario RPG next to 64 and TTYD. Honestly wish there was a mod that removed them, since it takes around 4-6 hours to get to the first real boss battle.

I fully agree
imagine if Nintendo added the fast forward function from Paper Jam to Dream Team, it would make it more bearable atleast

I wish they added that in a update,this game is the only Mario & Luigi game with a hardmode after you beat the game, making you replay the game but since there's a lot of slow parts and cutscenes a fastforward button would be absolutely useful,I hope someone adds that with Homebrew or shit like that,I really love this game but it's slow and that's the only bad thing about it

Honestly I would take a DT HD with those improvements. Although it makes me curious as to how the next M&L game will go since they've been improving on the flaws of the series from PJ-BISDX. A DT-like game with the QoL features of the recent remakes sounds godly to me.

All callbacks are fun, but some callbacks are just plain great, especially since his line was delivered so seriously for something he's been seething about for over a month.

The game where you're a human in a world of monsters.
Where the goal is peace and coexistence.
Where there are 4 main bosses that later become your friends and help you against the god-like final boss.
Where you then travel through all the locations you visited to talk to all the minor and major characters before reaching the last location and ending the game.
Where you have a heartfelt conversation with the final boss, which then uses its powers to do a good deed before fading away in acceptance.
Where you can choose to kill or spare the reluctant ruler of the monsters who is burdened by the guilt of having taken human lives during a moment of anger and weakness caused by a loved family member's death at the hands of humans.
The one with the lesbian knight lady.
That's right. I'm talking about Monster Girl Quest

Nero is such a sour cunt in 5 holy shit, he never let go of "muh arm", "muh dead weight"

>mc becomes a villain after everyone tells him that his goal for world peace is stupid

Yeah, I know him being the runt is his whole gimmick, but man he was just being a dense one this time around.
Dante obviously meant Trish and Lady were out and it was already bad enough keeping them safe while fighting Urizen, he didn't need a third body in the pile, especially knowing whose kid it would be and by whose hand. But instead of Nero grasping the context of danger to himself dragging down Dante's efficiency and helping V get the girls out he just starts making it worse by throwing a tantrum, for several fucking days.

His super late comeback also makes no sense since Dante dealing with Vergil for the umpteenth time is the opposite of dead weighting, it's him carrying his weight.

I get that losing the arm he'd just come to terms having was shocking and impeded hi devil hunting, but I really felt they could have gave him something better to whine over. Even though better spaced out, this felt like KYRIEEEEEEEE! 2.0, I hope DMC6 squares up the writing for him. He's always so one note.
