killthenet Posted March 9, 2020 Posted March 9, 2020 I'm playing through Onimusha Warlords for the first time on Switch and I've mostly enjoyed it up until now but this Queen Bee boss fight is really starting to piss me off. It's an incredibly cheap fight, she spawns in constant waves of her annoying 'babies' and she seems to have an absurdly large health bar. I've got maybe four or five big combos on her, as well as the occasional jab, but she doesn't seem to be close to going down. My health eventually gets too low to be able to recover and I end up dying, I must have tried this 8 or 9 times so far and for some sick reason the developers didn't include the option to skip cutscenes so I'm forced to sit through the same annoying dialogue over and over again. Also doesn't help that the last save point is with Kaede which means I'm unable to turn the herbs in my inventory into medicine so when I do get super low on health I can only recover a fraction of the health bar with a herb. I'm determined to persevere but it's really annoying - haven't got this angry at a game in a while. Rondo of Blood was difficult but it all seemed pretty fair for the most part, this is just cheap game design.

Using it will bring her to the floor where you can unleash lightning and fire attacks at her. Keep doing this until you run out of magic and then kill the minions to replenish your meters. If you have the rifle you can also use that to get some good hits into her while she's in the air.

Thanks man, I've been using the wind to lightning tactic but when I run out of magic I get overwhelmed by the minions and end up getting killed. I looked at some guides for this boss and they all seem to recommend the gun but I don't have it - assumed I couldn't pick it up yet - so I'm obviously hamstrung but I think I can do it. Wouldn't actually be that annoying if I could skip the cutscene, its so bloody long
killthenet Posted March 10, 2020 Posted March 10, 2020 I managed to beat her last night but I had to do it twice because I'm a moron. Beat her, got the 'honour' pop up, and watched the cutscene but had very low health. I assumed that using the great bow would take me to a save point rather than immediately into a boss fight so I got killed without saving and kicked back to before I beat the Queen Bee boss. Took me another few attempts to do it again but I actually looked at the map this time and realised there is a save point like right near the room Kaede is taken to. Spent some time grinding for orbs and went to pick up the gun once I'd done that, can't imagine Marcellus will be as annoying as that bee but I'd rather go in fully upgraded and tooled up anyway.
killthenet Posted March 18, 2020 Posted March 18, 2020 Shadow Man Remastered has been announced for Switch. I've always wanted to play it but never got round to buying it (either on N64 or Dreamcast). Look forward to finally trying it out!
drahkon Posted March 18, 2020 Posted March 18, 2020 Just found out about this. Out next week. Played the demo and it is amazing. Can all these roguelites maybe not release at the same time?
Hero-of-Time Posted March 19, 2020 Posted March 19, 2020 Sunset Riders is finally getting a release! http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2020/03/konamis_cowboy_classic_sunset_riders_is_galloping_to_switch_soon I have fond memories of playing the arcade game as a kid while on holiday at Blackpool. It was on the verge of being released back on the 360 but sadly it was cancelled. This news has honestly made my day. 2 2

drahkon Posted March 31, 2020 Posted March 31, 2020 I really hope Castle Crashers Remastered will be on sale in either the PSN or the eShop sale. 1

I was just thinking the same thing about half an hour ago. I thought what a good game that would be for people to pick up and play together online while stuck in isolation.

Yup. A mate I haven't seen in weeks suggested it for some drunken online madness
drahkon Posted April 1, 2020 Posted April 1, 2020 Just a headsup: Invisigun Reloaded is on sale for $0.99 on the US eShop. I've played the demo and it was quite fun. In singleplayer it's kind of a puzzle game but it's apparently much more fun in multiplayer. I'd say it's an absolute steal at this price (it's down from $20!).
drahkon Posted April 2, 2020 Posted April 2, 2020 @Hero-of-Time No Castle Crashers Remastered in this spring sale, either. It's pretty crappy in general. There's so much garbage in the eShop...

I see Assault Andriod Cactus+ is half price. Yeah, I'll probably pick that up.

Could get it for 7€ on the Norwegian eShop. I wanna win a run on Tangledeep first, though Assault Android Cactus+ is pretty great. Wasn't it on PS+ in 2016? Edited April 2, 2020 by drahkon

drahkon Posted April 16, 2020 Posted April 16, 2020 (edited) Just bought Picross S for a fiver. I've always been interested in these games. Giving the first one in the S series a go seems like a good start. Puzzles are very easy for now but I've only done 7 out of 150. And then there are Mega Picross puzzles, but I won't touch them until I'm done with the regular ones. Love the concept of these puzzles. A great game to play while listening to music/podcasts/audio books/porn. Little confused as to why there are no touch screen controls, though Edited April 16, 2020 by drahkon 1
