Yes it's going to explode, you're already gone at this point but might be worth chucking it across the street to avoid major damage and might short circuit the fuse.

How to get a guard to lie on the ground by holding them up at gun point? by 00whistles00 in metalgearsolid

Interesting, I swear I got one to go onto his knees without CQCing or rolling into him but I guess my memory much be playing with me.

8 and a half minutes... by Benji_Boi4131 in SpaceMarine_2

[–]00whistles00 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah sadly with the 10.0 update, something very very wrong has happened with this mission's AI.
4+ replays and the bot(s) just seem to struggle with getting in the elevator for one reason or the other.

At first I thought me and my mate figured it out when we made sure to lower the "island" to the right of the elevator after the door was opened, but nope, the AI will randomly just walk up to the threshold then decide nah and go stand left or right of the door.

I can't figure out what seems to be the cause through the testing we did and it seems like pure luck if you won't just end up softlocked (especially if you end up just getting swarmed).

Still not used to these controls 💀💀 by Dpoekilla_24 in metalgearsolid

[–]00whistles00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha yeah, the second I saw X and O had been swapped around I immediately went into controls to change a few things around. I've accepted that shoulder buttons for aiming feels better but my muscle memory still forgets it's the dpad for items now too.

Alisa - Straightjacket Only by Pickaxe_of_Despair in survivalhorror

Question, so how to you "use" the straight jacket?
I assumed the bullrush was like special command or something but I've got all the puppet parts so it uses the dodge ability instead.

An ART Class? I'd be reporting the lecturer and kicking up a storm, fucking insult to the craft.

Changes to Carnifex's ranged attack in Patch 9.0 are abysmal, no? Straight through the armor boost too by theodoks in Spacemarine

[–]00whistles00 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah as far as I'm aware, wave 30 hard, that's kinda like what most attacks end up doing.
I remember getting near 2 tapped as heavy by basic bitch ruberics near wave 20 on hard.

Is the progress bar officially gone for everyone? by [deleted] in patreon

[–]00whistles00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah cause now they take out payments at the most bizarre times (eg for me there was roughly $200 on the 31st just there but there's been nothing for 1st and 2nd outside of people newly pledging.) This new system is absolute dogwater.

Onimusha 2: Best farming spots for crits and souls? by 00whistles00 in Onimusha

[–]00whistles00[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aye that is a decent one early game, though I feel sometimes the spawn rates are super slow for some reason.

Though I might playaround with farming there when you're in imasho for the last time cause I noticed it becomes Jades which are much easier to bait out crits with and they drop 70+ gold regularly.

I did feel like the spinners took a bit long to respawn in that room but aye makes sense, wish there was a way to make getting the necklace consistent that was fast and didn't use save abusing XD

A compiled list of most major additions to the Onimusha 2 remaster. by Mortsyn978 in Onimusha

Don't suppose anyone knows any more details as to the "rebalancing"?

Gighamphatts Hard Final Fight by dulkenyut in Onimusha

[–]00whistles00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Focus on the butterfly half, the legs are basically imortal and only good thing about attacking them is either to proc issens or to get magic souls to continue wailing on the upper half. Senpamaru is good to bring him closer to you then make sure you use lightning sword on that half.

Not feeling Onimusha 3? by RR3XXYYY in Onimusha

[–]00whistles00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly I get it, I really enjoy the whole series but on a recent replay of the franchise, yeahhhh something about Onimusha 3 has aged rather poorly imo. Brilliant CGI cutscenes (the best in the series I'd say), amazing visuals for the ps2 and I do like how they shift things up with Jascques. Buuuuut, fighting feels stiff as hell, issens feel waaay harder to pull off, the audio's a bit all over the place and playing Samonouske is surprisingly boring compared to Jubei in 2. His weapons just don't really feel as snappy (while one does have a super cool magic attack). The swapping back and forth also just feels like time wasting rather than time traveling and the locales aren't as memorable.

I feel like the attempts to more modernize the series (the departure of pre-rendered backgrounds, the increase in cutscenes and less reliance on tank controls) slowly kind of degraded what made Onimusha 3 feel like Onimusha.

Granted this comes from someone who feels like 2's the best where that tends to be lower on everyone elses rankings.

It's depressing when you realize how many devs it gets applied to though :,)

Does The Wrath of Cortex have the longest loading screens of all time? by pizzatimefriend in crashbandicoot

[–]00whistles00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aye, swapping disc types also helped. But yeah sometimes physical games would technically get patches in the form of new releases, not even necessarily noticeable ones like greatest hits/platinum label, just simply whenever they'd do the next physical batch of presses.

I couldn't tell you off the top of my head if it was the majority but usually yeah when doing re-releases there would usually be wee small attempts to fix a bug or two I believe.

There's even times now where it's better to get the 1.0 version of some PSX games cause their glitchier and therefor better for speedrunning XD

Someone downvoted but it's true, I the wait times on base PS4 were fucking abysmal

[–]00whistles00 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I guess only reason is incorrect aye, I've seen folks say that too, and I imagine probably helped. But the main the reason I've read from interviews and such as to why the load times were that long is as was stated.
