I've got a few builds in mind, one of which might be a 'bait' build for a league starter, but I'm sure I'll make it work somehow... Gonna do melee to start, what with the revamp and all...

Bleed Earthquake Gladiator, hope it works out because I hate going through the campaign for alts.

I'm thoroughly confused by Ultimate Team in College Football 25. Having a heckuva time getting the RPO figured out too, that's not my style of football at all. Find it a bit boring, I'd much rather just huck it & chuck it. But the game seems heavily geared towards wanting you to be RPO-heavy, so it's a struggle if it's not your thing. The game doesn't do a great job teaching you how to use it, Madden tutorials seem far superior.

On the flip side, I somehow have kicking down pretty solid. You win some, you lose some..

217 GB to install Modern Warfare 3. I wish they would have did what Gears 5 did and let you pick what you want to install. All I care about is the single player campaign.

Oh, they will never let you do that. Their ability to make money off of you is not via the campaign.

Oh but they do allow you to do it.......
Instead of clicking Install, move one button to the right where it says "Manage" and select what you want to install. It halved the install size.

Crazy!!

Did you end up playing this? I'm curious about the game but I've heard that the developer Owlcat produce some pretty complicated systems and doing the "wrong" things is really easy to do. . .

I don't mind the campaign as much, as it's basically auto-pilot from doing it so many times. I was also thinking bleed, but going with Lacerate, because I've never done that build before, but now I'm considering leaning on ol' reliable Archmage ice nova as a start before I go melee on an alt...

I did buy it but haven't had a chance to start into yet. Maybe Mortismal can give you more information though:

Thanks man, appreciated! Yeah since writing that, I've gotten better with it as I've been crushing through all the mini games and Ultimate Team sessions, but I'm still not great.

With Metroid Zero Mission on Switch Online now, I decided to unlock all the ending pictures which is something I never did on the GBA. I wasn't prepared for the hell that Hard mode with 15% items was going to be. After tons of retries and some help from save states from Switch Online, I got it done. This is my files for Hard 100%, Any% and 15% all under 2 hours for the ending pictures.



In case you don't know, on hard mode you only get 2 missiles per missile tank, 1 super missile per super tank, and 50 energy per energy tank. Everything does double or even triple damage, and bosses have more health. For 15% completion you only get 6 "optional" items so I had a total of 2 missiles and 2 super missiles to use.

Tourian is a nightmare: the Metroid spawns are doubled and they're more aggressive, and you can only kill them with missiles or super missiles. I spent minutes just sitting there freezing Metroids while waiting for the ring enemies to drop missile refills for my measly loadout. If you didn't juggle the Metroids well it was a guaranteed death.

Then there's Mother Brain...yikes. I would break a gate, leave the room to refill, go back in and repeat for every gate while basically playing a bullet hell with all the turrets. Mother Brain's beam attack will one shot you, and you're already dodging bullets and ring enemies constantly. I took screw attack to deal with the bullets and ring enemies here. If you beat Mother Brain, you get only 1 minute to escape to your ship. I took Hi-Jump Boots solely for this section since I wasn't fast enough to escape otherwise. You need to do a bomb jump at the end of the escape if you don't have speed booster which is really stressful as you usually have only 10-15 seconds left at that point.

Anyway, it was a crazy challenge and even though I "cheated" using save states in places, it feels like a great accomplishment. Maybe someday I'll go back and do it legit - aka reloading from save rooms which is ultra tedious. On to dread mode on Metroid Dread!

I think Path of the Goddess is the next game I'm going to play. Anyone tried it?

I saw a few things about it and it looks interesting, will probably give it a try at some point.

In the reveal video during the animated part it does, but then at the end when it's just the controller shown it doesn't. My guess is that it's just a sticker applied to the touch pad.

Yeah the video shows them doing it:



But yeah the actual picture shows the 'pixels' being cut off, so just a sticker.



If I needed a controller then maybe, it's nice colours, but that's disappointing.

Yeah, I would assume they would need to add new tech in order to get the eyes to emote just for this controller lol.

Oh, Tower Defense sales on Steam. Too bad Emberward is too new; hearing and seeing a lot of good things.
