Godmaster is cool, but so far it's been significantly more difficult than I anticipated. I'm stuck on the Third Pantheon. I'd like to at least get to that 112%, but some of the extra challenges might simply be too much for me.

I'm still stuck on the same part. I didn't play yesterday though, but I'm not too optimistic about beating today either. Boss rush with no checkpoints is very difficult in this game. Who knew.

Eh, probably not a big deal. I can't really think of anything at the moment that would be a huge loss if the save was deleted.

To be honest, I wouldn't blame you if you really weren't a fan of it. I've kinda gotten sick of competitive Smash. Bayonetta definitely ruined Smash 4, but I think it still would have become dull even without her. And I just stopped caring about competitive Melee.

Ultimate is blatantly being made to pander to both casuals and competitive players.

You say that like its a bad thing

I think Solar isn't a fan of competitive Smash.

But yeah, Sakurai changed his mind on competitive play. Smash will always appeal to casual players, it's hard to fuck that up. But Brawl obviously was not well-received by the competitive side of the fanbase. Makes sense to appeal to them too.

Isn't it required to NG+?

Yes, although I still don't actually know the details of that. I believe the new mode just puts you in Godhome with every upgrade and charm, and you do a boss rush against every boss in the game. So I'm not sure why you'd want to do that after all the bosses you have to face to unlock it.

It also counts toward full 112% completion, so you have to complete it if you want that.

Ah, yes, the Negotiator: General Kenobi

Yeah if boss fights aren't your favorite part of the game, Godmaster doesn't really have a whole lot to offer you. I'm still going to attempt to do as much of it as I can, but I doubt I'll do everything.

Beating every radiant boss fight is something I can't see being able to do.

don't get me wrong - they still produce gems like Mimikyu, but some of the newer ones are ridiculous

Klefki is pretty cool actually. Nothing wrong with Pokemon taking inspiration from inanimate objects. Most of the newer Pokemon are just as good as the old ones.

Qwilfish is my favorite of this group though. Underrated Pokemon.

That is the direction Nintendo has gone with wario. He's not going to change.

He was always like that

He was just marketed a bit differently in America than he was in Japan.

https://sourcegaming.info/2015/08/11/wariofart1/

So Westerners when they think of Wario probably associate him more with greed and strength. And he still has those qualities of course, but he's also disgusting.

I remember watching a couple episodes of the show she was on, Suburgatory. I thought she was incredibly attractive.

Well I expected it to be mostly boss battles, and it definitely is. Did you find the hall of bosses? It appears that you can fight every single boss in the game again, and they even have multiple levels of difficulty. I've only fought two of them so far, but it seems the first option is just a regular fight against that boss. The second one seems to make the arena more dangerous or adds some other twist to the battle, in addition to the boss dealing double damage. And for the final difficulty level, called Radiant, you die in one hit. From everything. The boss, his summons, spikes on the floor, whatever.

I struggled a lot with the two I tried out. Pretty embarrassing too, since the bosses were Gruz Mother and Vengefly King. The easiest bosses in the game normally, but when you die in a single hit, turns out it's not quite that simple.

I'm curious to see what the other bosses are like. No way in hell will I be able to beat the Radiant versions of some of them though. I mean seriously, Nightmare King Grimm without getting hit? That takes a hell of a lot of patience. The one benefit of dying in one hit though is that you're free to abuse the Overcharmed state. I doubt many players thought it was worth the risk in the base game. But that risk is eliminated for these Radiant fights.

Death of the Outsider wasn't DLC. It was standalone. Plus it's taking up a slot that Knife of Dunwall and Brigmore Witches could occupy. Most would probably agree that those two DLCs are the peak of the franchise actually.

Anyway, I still think nothing has topped Shivering Isles for me.

I actually always preferred Hydra to Dragoon in Air Ride. I get why they chose to use Dragoon in Smash though. It's more colorful and it can fly. That cutscene would not have worked as well if Kirby was on Hydra instead.

Dragoon (Kirby Air Ride/Super Smash Bros. Brawl)
HMS Thunder Child (The War of the Worlds)
Russell Casse's sacrifice (Independence Day)

The Dragoon in Kirby Air Ride actually isn't really much of a ramming vehicle. I mean it still does pretty good damage, but Hydra was definitely the one that was intended to be the offensive powerhouse. Brawl definitely turned it into one with that one Subspace cutscene and its function as an item, however.

I still haven't gotten the game yet, but I will eventually.

I think it's one of the greatest games of all time. Not even a question. I freaking love it and wish it was 100 hours.

You can potentially get close to 100. I got over 50 hours out of a single playthrough doing almost everything. And tomorrow's update will add even more playtime to that. Plus, there will eventually be a paid DLC. The game has a surprising amount of content.

Ah, yes, the Negotiator: General Kenobi

I wouldn't say it's brutally hard, but it's not easy either. Also 18 hours isn't really that far if you're doing everything. The interesting thing with Hollow Knight is that a boss's difficulty varies. Some of the bosses that are generally considered the hardest can be relatively easy. And some that are considered easier can end up being difficult. That's what happened to me.

Imagine watching someone else play a game you could play yourself.

Maybe it's a game I don't have any interest in playing myself, but I'm interested enough in general to see what it's all about.

The main thing I've spent a lot of time watching on twitch is competitive Smash, but I lost interest in that. For streamers I like, I usually just watch when they upload their streams to YouTube.

This does not solve any mental conundrums for me. I am still in the dark on why watching people play games is something people want to spend their time doing instead of playing those games.

It's not that difficult to grasp. In this case these players are significantly better than everyone else, so that's a reason to watch them. Another reason to watch someone play video games is if they're playing a game you have no plans to play yourself. And then sometimes you just find similar entertaining to watch, and maybe you want to see them play a game you've played.

Bump for Hollow Knight greatness.

What's your go-to charm combo?

I am really liking Joni's Blessing+Soul Eater+Shaman Stone when I fight bosses, but I'm wondering if I might get even more mileage out of some of the focus-based combinations like grubsong/quick focus.

I am also kind of struggling to see the point in the reach charms. Seems like everything has timing that can be hit with the base reach.

The reach charms are really useful for spike pogoing (like in the Path or Pain) and help a lot in the Coliseum. I'm generally a fan of them.

I typically go offensive/DPS for bosses, so some combination Quick Slash + Steady Body + Unbreakable Strength + Mark of Pride + either Thorns of Agony or Grubsong. QucikSlash is, IMO, the best charm in the game.

I definitely mix it up though, sometimes doing spell builds. After the most recent expansion, minion builds are incredibly viable (and actually the best way to kill Traitor Lord). Weaversong + Sprintmaster + Grubsong (synergy where Springmaster increases weaverling speed and they steal soul). Also Glowing Womb + Defender's Crest (synergy causing posion cloud damage). Can even throw in Grimmchild to complete the set.

Yeah that's pretty similar to the endgame set-up I used. Quick Slash, Unbreakable Strength, Mark of Pride, Grubsong, and Nailmaster's Glory. I also had a good time using a spell focused build earlier in the game, but I think getting the most out of the Nail appealed to me more in the end. Quick Slash is definitely one of the best charms in the game, but Grubsong is up there as well. You can make use of it no matter what charm set-up you have.

I would like Valenwood to be the setting and for the main quest to involve bringing about the Wild Hunt.

But ultimately I want a game with more substance than Skyrim. I'm fine with the game world being a bit smaller if it means more depth. Though bigger is always going to be the trend for open world games.

I don't think they've announced any DLC characters--although we know they're coming as they've been in every one since SC3 (Legends excluded) but I don't think any character they've revealed so far is DLC.
