Well the good news is that a lot of people dropping off the game is getting me a cheap-ass copy. I have four local friends who bought it and they all dropped it and hate it so I'm getting a $20 copy as a result. :dab2:

 

Still gonna shelf it and wait for patches and balancing and so on though for now, got enough to play.


No you don’t. You’re starving for games so you will play it and like it

True ending achieved. What a ride.

 

@Joe You beat biome 3 yet?


I didn’t even get to the Biome 2 boss yet :( There’s a shortcut to get there though since I basically was there. However, I went back to powerup a tad before the fight and got my ass rocked lmao. Then I saw the shortcut and I went to powerup again and got my ass kicked again lolol. This was over a week ago though. I started a new job on Monday and haven’t gotten a chance to play.

Well the dick ended up selling it to his brother instead so I never got it. We both lose, happy now??

 

You can still win. Just fork over the cash and buy a great experience. And then go to the cashier and be like

This is one of the most fun games that I just can’t really progress in i’ve ever played!

 

The amount of concentration for most of these types of games just doesn’t work for me. I’ll space out thinking about work for a minute and then everything is lost. I can do hard games like Celeste if it lets me replay quickly at where I left off, but not this style.

 

Edit: To clarify I’m glad i bought it still and put in a good 20 hours and I’m sure I’ll play here and there still, I just never got past the first boss. 

 

It’s really a fantastic game that is a must for anyone who can do this sorta thing, just wish it was willing to meet me a little more in the middle.

So I finally broke down and bought it.

 

Played through all of Biome 1 and beat the boss, Phrike, without dying once after one false start somehow. Made it a good bit into Biome 2 afyer but had to srop for the day when it dawned on me that...wow yea, no shit you can't even Save & Quit like in Souls. Not doing that Rest Mode nonsense for who knows how long.

 

Thw system is so absurd, I actually had to let myself get killed because I wanted to spend time with my girlfriend :facepalm:

 

That aside, this game is insanely atmospheric, jesus. I was completely lost in it and its lore. If it wasn't for the goofy rogue structure, this would've been THE new Metroid they haven't made.

 

I will add though that despite the combat feeling awesome, the weapons kind of blow at this point. I ended up beating Phrike with the pistol because the other weapons I came across were lame.

The lack of a Save & Quit truly is as stupid as I've been reading. It doesn't add tension to me, just made me roll my eyes. Game is tense as fuck as it is, it doesn't need the additional, most silly artificial threat in a videogame since like 1985.

I don't care what genre the game is you should be able to save and quit wherever you are in a particular game at any time. 

 

It's so fucking annoying. That's one thing I liked and noticed in playing the ME1 remaster. Save anytime. Beautiful.

I dont think you can get the astronaut until you beat Phrike first.

 

I think you may be right. But I'm pretty sure I died and came back to life... maybe it was a parasite that resurrects you with a malfunction?

You can, I got it after entering the house first after finding keys for it in a giant-ass room which was prior to me hitting Phrike. 

 

 I was just bustin balls but yes can its just not consistent on how you can get it. Mine only spawned after killing Phrike and it spawned in front of the house.

That shotgun is so fucking bad, it's kinda funny. The machine gun is cool just thought that close-quarters electric shock Alt sucked and that was the only variation I found.

 

I beat all 6 biomes my first try once I got the shotgun.  Don't underestimate it.

Same. I think. An astronaut saved me the first time app I didn’t cycle back, but maybe they count that as one death.

 

If you go to the Data Card for each boss you will see how many times you've killed them, and how many time's you've died to them.
