Wild Guns is hard

That is all!

HOLY SHIT 1 BOSS STEM CELL IS SCARY

The fireball spell is ludicrously strong, carried me to getting my first win, and wow, the difficulty modifier mechanic makes the game absolutely brutal again.

And it goes for 4 times, fuck.

Dead Cells Day 3 and 4 aka, CLOCK TOWER IS HARD

So I managed to clear the Stilt Village over the last few days. And fuck me if the clock towers boss isnt an utter nightmare. So many gap closers and forced movement abilities. Spear seems to give me some much needed reach, haven't gotten there with a faster bow, I imagine that'll do the trick as well.

Current take away? Bow and Shield will continue to be my weapon preference. After finding a few close combat options for bows I really hit a stride.

...I should have tried a bow build ages ago.

Dead Cells, Day 2

Not a whole lot of progress to be honest. Haven’t cleared the second stage in a few runs, also slept real real late.

Poking away at it some more though.

#Day 3 #Backlogging #Games #Dead Cells

Dead Cells time!

Played up to the first boss on PC, finally killed it on the Switch release. Parrying continues to be a godsend in all games that makes it feel right.

Also current runs got about a 6 minute head start on timed doors, I MAAAAY be sprinting a smidge too fast. So far its paid off though. The fishing village has been...terrifying though. Fucking canon dudes and fishhead zombies.

GREATSWORD PROTECT ME!

Progress on the Mummy Demastered

So far its been real solid. I forgot I had started a file back on Christmas when I got the game. So I was maybe 20 minutes in? Cleared out the Spiders, LizardDragonThing (no wings but it breathed fire), generic Anubis-like Sorcerer, and a Scarab.

Went from a forest, to a cave, a sewer, into HQ for the organization (thats name I couldnt honestly remember) that youre a part of, a ruined city, and a clock tower.

Mobility went from just running and jumping, to being able to cling to ceilings and scuttle around, to a run similar to the speed upgrade in Super Metroid, to a high jump, to swimming. I left the ruined city to go to the sewers since I know theres a few swimming locations instead of progressing the main story.

I already had an LMG, but I also found a Shotgun, a flamethrower, and the MERCURY HARPOOOON (which not only sounds like a Mega Man X boss but also kicks the absolute most amount of ass so far hitting like a truck and also piercing targets).

I’m around 3 hours in, really enjoying this so far! Core gunplay feels like Contra 3, but movement is Super Metroidy? Sounds weird but works really well. Monster design while generic is still quite good, definitely not a knock point at all.

Bosses have been really fun so far, highlight being the dragonlizard thing and the scarab, the dragon involving a lot of retreating while firing at its head and the scarab requiring a lot of careful platforming without TOO much punishment for failure (the Cogs you use as platforms will come to life when it scuttles along the walls, also forcing them into the ground which is now littered with spikes as well, fortunately spikes just hurt and HOPEFULLY YOUVE GOT A LOT OF HEALTH AT THIS POINT so the penalty is pretty small).

Gunna switch to doing my weekly shenanigans on FFXIV so not sure if i’ll finish up tonight but will be done by tomorrow methinks.

So I should kinda explain what I’m doing

My backlog of games is bad, real bad. I’m gunna use this to kinda keep track of what I’m actively doing and figured why not keep my thoughts of how a games unfolding documented since my mind is mush 90% of the time.

Day 1: Starting the Mummy Demastered today

Holy shit this is scratching that metroidvania itch that just always exists for me. Also apparently this is kind of a pseudo sequel to an aliens game Wayforward made for the DS. Though ill say I heard the basic SMG is weak and after running outta ammo for the Machine Gun on the Spider boss? Does feel a tad weak.

I WANT ANSWERS

Who looked at this render,

this render,

and this render,

made this abomination,

and said, “yeah, that’s close enough”.

That’s not Conker. That’s a red squirrel that vaguely resembles Conker.

if you bought a 16ml cartridge of ink at $18, and a 2500ml nerf super soaker barrage at $15.99, it would cost about $2,828.49 to fill it with ink once
