he's worked pretty quickly through this game so that may not be as big of a concern at least.
It wouldn't have been a concern even if I took a month break from the game. I remember stories I care about.

Speaking of which: really digging the story of the DLC. The Eye of the Universe fucked up a lot of people/races just by existing, huh.

Worst part of the DLC so far is that I won't have time to play it tomorrow.

Also man they really did lean into horror this time around.

Decided to do the DLC first because, simply put, I know how my brain works and this is how I will enjoy the game the most.

TotallyNotMI posted...
Beat the game, watch the ending, do the DLC, beat the game again and watch the ending again.

I can't think of a way to sour me on the game more than having to do the final Bramble section numerous times lol. Not a fan of how that one is designed.

Yeah the autopilot doesn't work sometimes lol
To clarify on my previous anecdote - the autopilot was working fine. I wasn't traveling to the Interloper. I was traveling somewhere else and it looped in from the side and completely blindsided my ship. Rude.

That silly asteroid got lot less silly once I learned that it killed all the Nomai.

Yeah I generally am not a fan of doing DLC after getting an ending (I like putting a game down once the credits roll) so I'll do the DLC first.

Oh, I would personally wait to do the DLC until after you beat the game. Kinda up to you.

Overall thoughts so far.

This is a very good game. The universe they've created is packed with cool vistas and concepts. Story comes together in an absolutely fascinating way. The feeling you get when you connect-the-dots of info you learned between different planets a dozen loops apart is phenomenal.

If I had one complaint, it's that there's a few too many instances where the answer to a problem is 'restart a loop and wait 10+ minutes'. When combined with actions that might not be easy to complete right away (such as the Sun Station jump), numerous attempts can get tedious. Thankfully there isn't TOO much of this.

Alright, I think I've explored everything in the universe except for achieving an ending. Which would mean taking the core through...the last section of Dark Bramble.

...DLC it is! Not tonight though, it's late. Some quick comments on the story:

The Nomai NOT being responsible for the sun exploding was a legitimately shocking plot twist.

I really like how the different Nomai generations are characterized. The early ones are arrogant, whimsical, basically treating the universe as their playbox to do science experiments. They believe that the Eye of the Universe is calling them, specifically, because they're special. The later ones are much less confident in themselves; having seen their predecessors fail. They wonder if all of this is worth it, and they recognize that the universe doesn't particularly care about them one way or another.

...There's DLC?

Should I do it?

Kenri posted...
I had a ton of trouble with this too, even when looking up tips/videos on how to do it. Wish I could give advice but even when I finally got it it was really sloppy, basically just luck.

Some people swear it's super easy though.
On my 4th attempt I overshot it then somehow course corrected onto the top of the structure, then finagled my way into the opening using a series of maneuvers I honestly don't think I'd be able to replicate if I was given ten more tries.

A hint about those... how about:

The other teleporters are already on, in case you think you need to turn them on.
I've stood on them for a long time without it ever teleporting me, though. Figured I needed to wait until the planets aligned or something but no dice.

Think I need a hint.

Pretty stumped on two things:

  1. How to get to the center of Ash Twin
  2. How to get to the Black Hole Forge
I've explored...basically everywhere else, including the Quantum Moon. And there's almost no points of interest left for me to track down. I know it probably involves teleportation, like at White Hole Station but I'm not sure how to get any of those sites I find to work.

What? I never said or even implied that it's junk. I'd gladly play Goldeneye multiplayer today if my friends were down. I still think that game is fun as hell.

But we'd probably complain about the insane slowdown whenever an explosion is on screen, just like my friends and I did back in the late 90s.

Batman has comic panel reflexes. I'm sure there's an instance out there of him tripping the Flash or something. He also gets the kind of stealth respect that you...well, need a specific teleport ability to force Mercs voters to actually respect. Most importantly, in Mercs, he specifically does not have time to plan beforehand.

Like for example, even in the context of *just* the Arkham games Batman overpowers Croc (a 9 foot tall hell monster) and takes 5 full vials of Fear Toxin, wades through a brief nightmare and punches Scarecrow in the face. Honestly he's just as absurd physically speaking as his comic version
Leon Kennedy could beat Croc and half this topic was spent dunking on him.

ALSO the teleport felt like a natural part of his kit. One of the longest-running Batman jokes is that he disappears when you aren't looking, even if it doesn't make sense. I also enjoyed how it gave respect people couldn't ignore to a stealth merc, which has been the most chronically undervalued type of merc since the series' inception.

This is just me adding my two cents though.

hmm yeah honestly the teleport was key. It synergizes extremely well with Batman's entire shtick. Otherwise (and without the Batmobile) low 3 sounds pretty accurate? In a neutral terrain I'd take most generic JRPG main characters to beat him.

I'm gonna need some more elaboration on this one. I have a theory but I don't want to say in case it hasn't happened to you yet
I knew there was a time limit going in, but my first few loops I died due to fall damage or oxygen. Actually lasted a while, found as much as I could, sat on the Interloper to wait out the last minutes. Figured there would be a cutscene or something. Looked to the sidr to discover the sun RIGHT in my face.

2 hours in and this shit is already taking years off my life

I went through a door, fell on some wooden platforms that broke apart, which made me fall into a wormhole, which deposited me halfway across the universe away from my ship, where I stayed until I died of oxygen deprivation while trying to bash my head against an asteroid to end the suffering more quickly

Then in my next loop the sun jumpscared me

Fun times though
