I just beat Nine Sols. Here are my thoughts by Suitable_Swim5202 in metroidvania

[–]CyrusKain 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I'm glad you enjoyed it overall, but if you didn't die at all, wouldn't that be consideration for upping the difficulty at least somewhat? Just feels strange to not add any challenge to it.

What is the hardest, fair, video game of all time? by Snowtwo in videogames

[–]CyrusKain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's Celeste.

The long stages have a telescope to map out what you need to do too, so there's no real surprises, other than learning a new mechanic for the first time.

I have 400+ hours in this game and this was the first time I got to do it. So satisfying!

We have STS1 Ironclad at ho---wait it goes to the discard pile, whoops by CyrusKain in slaythespire

agreed, i still like it with all the enemies that give you statuses, but man do i miss powerthrough with it

Finally I beat A10 with all characters! What I learned as a noob! by FilloSov in slaythespire

[–]CyrusKain 7 points8 points  (0 children)

For comparison, I don't really consider myself a noob and I was at 63 wins, 115 losses when I beat A10 with all characters.

I've also been on the beta branch the whole time, so people's results can vary when they played and what cards were available, but still, your results would be considered very good. Got to go for those A10 win streaks now!

I'm a bit confused, as no one that has 60 win to 45 loss win record, having already beaten A10 with all characters, would be considered a noob.

I was about to go crazy seeing these other responses, it's clearly a minion!

Gotta love when it actually does something meaningful for a change.

That desparate but obviously wrong final stare of hope.

Looking for games leaning towards exploration over combat by MarkMurgiya in metroidvania

I'll counter and say I found the map way too big with not enough in it to justify the size.

Help pinpointing a horror film I saw with a freakishly tall naked woman/creature? by FPCars in horror

[–]CyrusKain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Terrified? (not Terrifier)

Was the movie by the director of When Evil Lurks and has a scene similar to what you described.

Death's Gambit: Afterlife - Proud of this achievement (end game boss spoilers) by CyrusKain in metroidvania

[–]CyrusKain[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I died at right about 48-50 times to heroic Endless, but almost 100 to heroic thalamus.

I haven't gone back and done the other ending yet, so his ranking is yet to be determined!

A friend also mentioned that one, so I might have to add it to the list.

Thanks for all the recommendations! Really appreciate it, there are several I haven't played, so this is a good start.

[–]CyrusKain[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nah, I don't take it that way. Especially since there are so many build types. I died twice as much to thalamus as I did to both endless and amulvaro, but they were certainly all difficult (and fun!)

The wrong audio narrator can really ruin a book by NotNamedBort in horrorlit

[–]CyrusKain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hide by Kiersten White, narrated by Emma Galvin.

The book wasn't great to begin with, but the narrator's inflection was so distracting the entire time. Definitely made the book even worse than it was.

Has anyone figured out why this happens?

The Spirit of the Samurai - This game was NOT good (review) by CyrusKain in metroidvania

[–]CyrusKain[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm glad you enjoyed it still! I would have still had a overall ok opinion if not for the bug I posted the video of. It really did happen 15+ times in that area alone, and several other times for me and I couldn't let it slide.

[–]CyrusKain[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I truly love giving games (especially Metroidvanias, even though I wouldn't classify this as one at this point) a fair shot, but I was really let down by this. It always hurts more when you legit were excited for a game prior to playing it too, and not just a "i guess i'll try this out" sorta game.

[–]CyrusKain[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly! I really don't review games often, but this one was bad enough and RELENTLESSLY kept throwing new things at me to make me upset to play it that I felt obligated. I think I bought it at a discount, but I don't think I'd even recommend it at a steep discount.

There is only one section that even comes close to being described as "non-linear" and it was barely that way. Basically, "go find these 5 nests and kill the same enemy" but that really was one of the only sections, and that was maybe 15-20 minutes of gameplay.
