if it's any help you only gotta get phase 2 to half hp to get a win by cutscene

also i'm told he's just a weirdass difficulty spike compared to later levels - i only have the boss from the second stage to go by but I thought that one was much easier

they call it wo long because when you beat the boss you say "wo, that was long"

phase two would be a lot less annoying if I didn't have to redo phase one each time

A couple reviews were specifically calling this out as well, like the next half dozen or more bosses are significantly easier (apparently)

yeah. it doubly helps that stage 2 gives you a (dismissable) surprisingly competent npc buddy, too and stage 3 gives you two, but even without them the bosses get easier

just about to do the stage 3 boss

fack. went to install Dishonored 2, it needs 42GB and I only have like 30 free. went to clean up some old stuff and accidentally deleted the things I was zipping lol. nothing important at least.

never thought I'd be playing any modern-ish Windows games so I only made this partition like 120GB. gonna have to figure that one out now.

imo just go to your friendly local microcenter and buy an inland ssd. right now it's like $10 for a 256 gb or $20 for a 512.

bugs aside, i think wartales is definitely worth getting. i've sunk about 80 hours into it so far

the only thing i'm not too keen on is level requirements for equipment, but i understand why it exists since everything scales towards your party

lol MATN just put a play of the first 45mins of SONS OF THE FOREST - I'm not usually into survival/horror stuff but thought I'd give it a watch; the cannibal freaks on the island scream REALLY LOUD out of nowhere, I just about poo poo watching the video with my headphones on :o:

i tried playing the forest because the setting seemed neat but the first time the cannibals showed up i freaked out and quit and haven't gone back to it

The Forest was good but once you got over the fear of the cannibals and caves it kinda lost its charm. Definitely worth a play through.

Sons looks really good but i think I'll wait till out of early access.

i played a couple hours of sons of the forest with a friend and didn't care for it. not a huge survival game fan so that was mostly it, but I hated the combat especially. loving morrowind had more visceral combat than this game

i tried playing the super metroid/link to the past mixup but the emulators i tried all ran slowly on my machine

i am too dumb to figure out why something ancient like snes9x or bsnes or retroarch or w/e lags on a modern computer for me

watching samus float around at 15fps or something is a drag

e: a p2 300mhz used to be able to run jrpgs just fine and now an i7 2ghz will not i must be missing something

Modern emulators have increased the fidelity of the emulation. Weird edge cases work perfectly now but the system requirements are higher.

When I was a young poster I remember reading about "Survival Kids" in a nintedo power. I spent ages looking for a copy and finally found one. And it kicked rear end. Play that in an emulator
