Beelzebub in DDS was a badass fight. There's another later on that I thought was amazing but I won't spoil it

I'm planning on checking out all the optional bosses except for Demi Fiend because A) he's insane and B) he's NG+ only and I'll just be moving onto DDS2. Also the Karma Temple looks so sick. I love SMT's huge towers

You heard it here first: Strange Journey's final boss is garbage

For sure. It's a fine gimmick for a fight as long as it isn't overused.

There's a lot of really cool FF bosses that do that. Like the Crystals from FFV

Metroid Prime Phase 1 is my favorite of those, because it fakes you out constantly. Not a JRPG tho

A boss should face you without gimmicks and full power 100% strength instead of relying on rock paper scissors.

i think bosses should be invincible until you use a gimmick to defeat them, such as standing on 3 switches or using telefrags

i remember that the elemental switching boss in x-2 was terrible, in that it switched rapidly, and could switch from weakness to absorb and actually sped up switching elements partway into battle.

Bosses without gimmicks don't really exist in JRPGs

I definitely think that this kind of gimmick does not work with ATB. But it's fine in turn based games.

So Lucifer in SMT3 isn't a gimmick? Because really other than using pierce he is next to impossible

That RPG feel when a boss wipes you so quick you think it must have been a story battle you're supposed to lose but nope there's the game over screen

Reached a door that has a Point of No Return prompt so it's time to start hunting superbosses. The Snake headed boss right before this was cool and I obliterated it by accident because my MC had High Counter on and was doing 2000+ damage a turn off counterhits

I beat Beezlebub https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2YwtKxyM78g cool fight. hunting the 4 beasts now, i like that some of the ultimate mantra are just ludicrously OP and it alters the boss AI to gently caress with you for trying to use them to cheese the big battles. but you can use them to farm or whatever.

Played some Eternal Ring today...seems neat. I like the music. I probably wont ever finish it, because if I wanted to play a game like this I would probably get into one of the later king's fields or play dark souls again

Ace Combat 5 completed, I love these games...going to get started on AC0 asap. I'm now insanely excited for ace combat 7, it looks absolutely gorgeous. and digital devil saga 2 is in the mail, cant wait to finish the fight sick rear end music + feels here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68iE6Jty-00&t=318s i hope though that at some point they just give the main character a model because all the cutscenes having to block them out of frame gets weird after a while In Training fucked around with this message at 16:15 on Aug 22, 2017 |

I also love how the bad guys are just so exasperated with fighting you, like they know they're gonna lose so they deorbit a satellite just to say gently caress you after already losing

For anybody who hasn't played AC5 the big twist in the plot is that the war between Osea and Yuktobonia was being perpetrated by a Belkan sleeper cell terrorist organization to get revenge for their country being eliminated by nuclear weapons 15 years ago. But you are such a loving amazing untouchable godlike pilot that you were single handedly winning the war for Osea so they had to take you out or else the countries wouldn't destroy each other through a decade long war, which winds up revealing their hand in the conflict

The back of the AC0 box makes it sound like you're going to play through the belkan war 15 years ago which is epic. I'll have to rewatch the AC7 trailers now to see what part of the Lore is going to be tackled in the new installment

poo poo, this whole time I thought it said "Balkan" and was a dark gritty reboot set in the 90s.

That the woman who Base jumps from the space elevator is the lady from 5

Btw if you ever replay 5 selecting a different answer for Choppers question about if you liked the song or not changes the next mission

THIS IS REQUIRED IMPZONE WATCHING THE WHOLE THING https://youtu.be/iWRdMX1VaZA Ace Combat is a sick series and 5 is imo one of the most overlooked games on the ps2. It's a complete masterpiece and holds up even today. The nuggets are falling out of the sky!
