What Are You Currently Playing? 5.05: You Are (Not) A Gamer

If you can make it with DK and Diddy it's not too difficult.

[Avaitor]

I went with both and lost Diddy in the process, but rolled down as DK all the way through. I usually ended up getting hit when I first tried, but not this time.

[Kiddington]

Speaking of DK... man, Fish Food Frenzy is just the worst.

I guess every DKC has their share of utterly cringe-worthy levels. And I haven't even gotten to Lightning Lookout yet.

Here's a tip that they changed in the sequels. Diddy's hit-box is smaller than DK's meaning that you should always save Diddy for last in hard levels.

They changed this in the sequels (even DKC3 with Kiddy has the same hit-box as Dixie), but in the first game Diddy has the clear advantage.

Most games in general do, honestly.

Yeah, but I tend to find the DKC' series "bad levels" to be that much worse than others.

Blackout Basement, Glimmer's Galleon, Lightning Lookout... all I can say is...

The only level in DKC2 I really can't stand is Animal Antics. My same problem with DKC3 is the one you have to run through as Ellie.

I'm not big on the animal-only levels in general (except for the Rattly levels in 2 which are hop-errific) because they tend to distract from the standard platforming. Though DKC1 doesn't have that problem, I actually don't enjoy using the animals besides Rambi and Enguarde in that game as it is.

I can't wait for Bible Man: Israel Asylum.

[Dr. Insomniac]

Or Bible Man: Gay Conversion

[Micki!]

Why wasn't that written in Comic Sans..?! 

[Peanutbutter]

Rented Xenoblade Chronicles off Gamefly. It's actually pretty cool, and I can see why there was hype for it online. The story was a little bit slow in the beginning, but when I got to the part where the party's hometown is ravaged, things picked up real quick.

Spoiler

The part where the main guy Shulk's girlfriend was killed surprised me. I thought for sure they were going to kill off that guy you play in the prologue Dunban, because that's how these kinds of RPGs play out. No, they took out the love interest. Looking forward whatever else the plot has up its sleeve.

[close]

I also love the games gimmick of being able to see an enemy attack in the near future and being able to avoid it.

[Nel_Annette]

I knew I should have played Xenoblade first. Sorry, people who like it, but The Last Story is boring as fuck.

The description I'd use would be "shit", actually.

Sorry, people who like them, but all JRPGs are boring as fuck.

Fixed.
