Finally! Someone with the courage to adapt the NES classic The Goonies II to the big screen. What a time to be alive!

Just looking down every time and thinking “can I go there?” felt great.

Start going down a random well in Leyndell, follow down into Subterranean Shunning Grounds, past the hidden wall in the Cathedral of the Forsaken, past the hidden wall in the Frenzied Flame Proscription, down into Deeproot Depths and the Nameless Eternal City, ride the stone coffin to Ansel River Main and finally get a glimpse the Lake of Rot which restarts the cycle 👌

The schadenfreude here is delicious, alas the perils of being such a vehemently player-hostile game publisher 😂

Here’s somethings I found along the way you may or may not find helpful:

Phase 1:

• Once you get the dodge timing for his spinning missile dive, it leaves a perfect windows for a jumbo DLC rot pot which usually triggers rot immediately (depends on your arcane and if multi-player I think).
• When he does the blood flame sword attack, just circle behind him while walking (if you’re already in melee range)

Phase 2:

• The timing is tight, but if you dodge the thousand-year-voyage-hug responsively enough it leaves another window for a pot. I prefer frost pots in phase 2.
• If you’re just gonna block the orbital lasers you have enough time to throw another frost pot if you’re already in range.
• The meter strike is the most volatile aspect of the fight, I learned to save my wondrous physick for this moment to ensure I survive. If you went rot in phase 1 and frost in phase 2, switching back to rot after this attack helps burn him down.

Thanks for pointing that out, I’ve edited it to show that PCR is Promised Consort Radahn 👍

Stuck with it! He’s the first boss I feel like I truly mastered; and I hated it at first!

Not sure what your build is, but for whatever it’s worth, I find it a much more enjoyable battle with blocking than with rolling.

I always think I’m done with Elden Ring, but lately I’ve been itching to solo PCR (Promised Consort Radahn) with no spirit ashes, well the dragon priestess one to be specific.

I like to take pride that independently realized l could hard counter the meteor spam by switching to a second shield with Vow of the Indomitable

The best feeling in this game, at least for me, is the eureka of connecting the dots and trivializing a given challenge.

Edit: jargon

Ahh, thanks for the clarification

Wow, feels so spiteful. It’s them not you.

To be charitable to the other side, perhaps this mod is so burned out on “just asking questions” that a sincere question has become hard to recognize 🤷‍♀️

Imagine you could sell $39.99 shovelware to almost every single kid that watches Jimmy Neutron, because you’re gonna drown that show in ads for it.

The child then grinds down the parents’ resolve and the money is eventually spent.

I totally didn’t witness this first hand when sculpting feces into nickelodeon-shaped games.

They had me for a hot second because I saw Into The Breach on the app store 🤩

But you can’t even run the game without logging in to a Netflix account 🤮

I mean I had one, but fuck that noise I’m not cosigning on that bullshit 😤

Nothing augurs success like hearing about the “incredible talent” that just went to “other teams at EA” 🙃

Star Trek Star Wars, spacey scifi, same bullshit.

Offending user indeed!

But seriously this individual is dumping toxins like a Capt Planet villain. I felt gross after scrolling their profile.

The original ending was a very “that’s it?” moment.

The actually added a new game-over condition, by allowing you to just shoot the annoying reaper child, to quell the frustrations people felt.

Even in the remaster is still feels like a choice between red, blue, or green color endings.

RIP Marauder Shields, the true final boss of ME3 🙏

That, to me, is the real tragedy of Mass Effect, looking back through this new lens. BioWare seems to have borrowed many concepts from Revelation Space, but very little of it is explored with any depth, and none of the ideas are given new twists that improve upon them.

Damn, didn’t expect a thoughtful analysis of Revelation Space and its impact on Mass Effect.

But since Mass Effect avoided most of the extra weird stuff, the ending of Mass Effect 3 never really had a chance to be good.

Ahh, can’t talk about ME without addressing the elephant in the room the controversial ending.

Good read 👍

They calling me: I sleep (it goes to sms because I never setup voicemail)

I must call them: Real shit

As one who played every Dragon Age game, this expresses much of how I feel as well.

After such a long wait I wanted another Origins or Inquisition, but I got something else and it was a fine, forgettable, C+ entry. A game that wants you to wave a giant foam finger instead have thoughtful choices, but at least it delivered an ending.

They left out Enterprise!

You have 2 main characters to follow and it’s absolutely different based on your age.

Very similar experience with Cars 3. Children identify with the new up-and-comer race car while grownups identify with a Lightning McQueen who must accept his glory days are past and embrace the next generation.

Shoutout for the race announcer who drops a microcosm of the whole film in a single line:

McQueen’s fading! Fading fast!

My dude you’ve had the patience of a saint, which makes this final rebuke so fucking tasty 🌶️🔥
