I like the analog swing because it's more fun. Gotta play on easy. I'm used to handicapping myself on video games. Prolly slap ya 10-0 on 1 vs. 1 in COD4. 😉 Jk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Sinister Posted April 15, 2022 Author Share Posted April 15, 2022 Speaking of swinging, I had no idea so much went into being able to get a decent hit in The Show. Spent most of last summer grinding my thumb into dust, trying to get that timing down. Bit once I did, it was pretty damn good. Pretty sure I'll get Thumb Cancer from that entire ordeal though...

Scar tissue from manuevering the analog in COD here. Tore the rubber o-ring grip off on over a dozen controllers, easily. Don't you miss Ken Griffey Jr. on SNES?

Was all excited to play it and happy and then just never could hit so lost interest almost immediately. Like hitting wasn’t just difficult but it also wasn’t fun.

Fight Night is probably the only game that I could say that I was legitimately one of the best in the country, before you could put that to the test truly. Like, I was WASHING people.

I remember those times back in the day I'd play tournaments with my friends in Mortal Kombat 1/2/3, Street Fighter II Turbo, Killer Instinct.... I was OK at Killer Instinct.

I knew that wasn't my lane, so I've just stuck to the campaign modes mostly Love how we have to decipher "the original". Activision has totally jacked up the names to the games. Using the exact same titles as the old legendary games. Desperate, sad. Activision jumped the shark a while ago. I couldn't even defend the belt in Fight Night career mode. I used so much head movement, the computer just closed the distance and beat me up to the body...then slapped me upside the dome when I was busy defending it. Incredible game. It's on my list to buy at the vintage place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Xbox 360 ones are when that game started to go downhill and it got too easy. The first one or two on OG Xbox were the best. They were actually somewhat challenging. I remember on 360 people were scoring like -30 and better playing online. You could drive like 400 yards. It just got kind of stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The online for it was incredible how they had tournaments. And while it looks cartoonish, the mechanics were far from that. It is super technical with a lot of fun aspects. On another note... Finally finished Elden Ring today. Apparently I got the best/secret ending according to this: https://www.gamesradar.com/elden-ring-endings/ I was like level 176 or something when I beat it. I found the final boss the toughest in the game. I beat em with no flasks left too so it was close after like 10-12 tries. I doubt I will be putting much if anymore time into this game. What an awesome ride it was. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buddha Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 Congrats! If you haven't found this guy already, go to the isolated merchant shack in north Caelid and rest until morning and the merchant disappears. Walk out of the shack and have fun with the bell bearing hunter that appears. Took me longer to beat him than it did to beat the final boss!

That’s crazy cause I beat the dude in like 20 seconds and the final boss took me like 3 hours of tears. This is kinda what I like about the game.

purbeast Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 The final boss was definitely the hardest in the game for me. I heard everyone say Melania was but it took me like 3-4 tries to beat her. And I don't even know if I used a rune arc to beat her. I used like 10+ rune arcs and died on the final boss before finally beating him. But I had like 45 of em so I was not running out lol.

Mufumonk Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 What makes the Elden Beast so difficult is trying to close ground after it teleports when you're a melee centric build. As far as sheer difficulty Malenia, Maliketh and Mohg are brutal. Especially if you put away the spirit ashes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
