    TIAM: General Gaming edition

    So, a while back I got the God of War HD collection, with the first two games remastered for the PS3. I LOVED the first game, lots of fast paced brutal combat, and a fun time all around. Took a break for a while, and started playing God of War 2. Fuck this piece of shit game. It started off well, fun "taste of power" segment, your powers are Metroided away, and you begin a new adventure. The plot is actually good this time, and I kinda give a shit about Kratos' journey to fuck over everyone and everything in the universe because Zeus pissed in his Cheerios. But then the game starts to becomes such a SLOG. All the enemies are such beeftanks this time around, nothing gets staggered even slightly by your attacks beyond the most basic mooks, so it takes forever to get through these fights. And then it gets WORSE. Every single fucking enemy starts punishing you for doing more than Square Square ROLL, so all the upgrades and shit you get for your now MULTIPLE weapons mean exactly fucking jack and all besides increased damage, because god help you if you try to use one of your cool rapid attack moves or some kind of combo because the enemy will slap the shit out of you the moment you try it unless you use Rage of the Titans. But I persevere, because I started this and I damn well intend to finish it. So I get to Zeus. Final boss time. Yay. Zeus is more of the same. Parry, counter-attack, maybe get a tiny strike in there somewhere with this shitty sword they stuck you with, lather rinse and repeat for 10-15 minutes across multiple phases of a fight. And then comes a quicktime event. First time goes well, slam the dude into a pillar, drop it on him, phase 3 begins and I keep pounding the bastard, and it comes time to do the tango all over again and finish off this slow-paced garbage and move on. But no. The game doesn't even have the decency of letting me do that. Instead of going where he's supposed to, in a glorified fucking CUTSCENE, something glitches out in the depths of this garbage fire of a game, and Zeus sails off a cliff. No way to continue the fight, no way to beat the game other than restart the fight and HOPE it works the next time. Some stupid fucker on Gamefaqs said he restarted this fight TEN TIMES before it worked. Yeah, no, fuck that, Youtube exists for a reason. "9.7: Amazing -Ign" "93% Metacritic" "9/10 Trusted Reviews" Fuck ALL of you.

    Game Deals Announcement Thread

    Hm. I've been wanting to try Battleborn, and HAVE been waiting for an excuse to justify buying Borderlands 1 and a half.

    Pokemon

    Never heard of Hawlucha before now (but it looks awesome), Skarmory I'll grant, But Heracross and Shuckle? Heracross and Pinsir are basically the same, and they stop being such powerhouses after early levels. And Shuckle really only lends itself to the "Tank and DoT like a madman" strategy until maybe after it gets that move that makes its Atk = Def. And those are just a few as compared to ones like Stantler or Farfetchd which are meh at any level. The game just gives these massive powerups and more diverse movesets to evolving Pokemon only, generally. Plus, it's satisfying to see what they turn into anyway. =)

    Pokemon

    I'm not a fan of 'Mon that don't evolve...mostly because I can't think of any non-Legendary that doesn't evolve that remains good throughout the whole game, except maybe Snorlax.

    Pokemon

    Some of the designs are meh but none of them so far are "Holy fuck what were they thinking" like Vanillice or whatever. The bad ones are on the level of some of the early gens' weird bad designs like Mr. Mime or that green electric dog from Gen 3.

    Pokemon

    I'm pretty hyped for this one. Haven't looked forward to a new Pokemon since HeartGold. Looks like they've made quite a few changes, and I really like the designs for most of these Pokemon. And no more playing the RNG for IVs then grinding for EVs, yay!

    What's with the shitty generic J-Rock song for the newest episode of JoJo?

    To clarify, it's not even bad in a "So bad it's good" or "Oh god it's horrible I can't look away" way, it's just super generic and cliched and boring.

    TF2 general

    Because I think for every one thing Valve does right, they're contractually obligated to do two things wrong. It's the only explanation that makes sense.

    Pyro needs it more but since this is based on points scored, pretty sure the Heavy side is gonna win.

    I'm not a Street Fighter guy but Balrog looked fun enough in his preview video I'm considering getting the game to try it out.
