I'd LOVE another F-Zero game. The GameCube version looked and played amazing -- albeit I found it pretty difficult.

Yeah I got kidnapped and taken to that zone, and spent ages trying to kill those and it was futility.
Only problem is those bag monsters now appear in Cathedral Ward when they were not there before either. So that difficulty has ramped in that zone.
I'm not saying i've given up yet though I haven't traded the game in - there is still hope that I get a fit of playing and see it through eventually.
At times I really really HATE the game. Then I make the smallest modicum of progress and somehow its just enough to get me to have 1 more go. But yeah - I'm having a rest for the moment and will try again at some stage after Witcher 3 / Splatoon & Yoshi & Batman this month too.
I go back to that once a year and cry that Nintendo haven't made a new one.I just set up my wii after ages of it being in the cupboard - just to play F-Zero GX
You can run past; I've only had him follow me once (and of course scared the living daylights out of me when he did).You might be able to just run past him too up the stairs, but he might follow, I don't recall.
Yes.... First part is basically grind and grind and then go back to hunters dream and level up yourself and your weapons. You need to fortify your weapons and redo it over and over again until your at the point where the slog becomes tolerable.
The learning curve is very high, I have got to the point in the game after killing blood starved beast and now I am stuck as the difficulty has ramped up three fold again. Keep getting killed by the kidnap bag monsters who can kill in one good hit and its incredibly frustrating always.
Taustin,
Good decision, you owe it to yourself to at least try the first boss encounter. Find the shortcut around the werewolves. Not the one down to the left of the werewolves to the sewers. It's behind some coffins before the werewolves down and through some dog kennels. This path can also take you to the sewers through a large structure (don't go this way yet). You want to go through a house through a closed door and open a shortcut to the lamp, which will allow you to totally bypass the mob section. With the shortcut open, you will be able to find the Cleric Beast back through the house up some stairs.
Once you find the cleric beast you will gain 1 insight which will allow you to level your character at hunter's dream. Level up and upgrade you weapon if you have enough blood stone shards. For new souls players, I recommend a Strength build, but it really depends on which weapon you use, since your weapon scales with stats. Level Vitality, Strength, and Endurance. Don't ignore endurance! You might need to grind a little to level up a bit or buy molotovs before tackling the boss, depends on your skill in combat.
Use the time grinding on the early levels to practice your visceral attacks:
Backstab: Sneak Up, R2 strong charged attack, R1 finishing move.
Counter: Shoot your gun on enemy downswing, R1 finishing move.
If you pull off a successful visceral move, you should hear a 'chug' sounds which indicates you can do the R1 finishing move. Learning the visceral attacks is crucial to succeeding at this game.
Good luck!
Thanks, I will try that at some point. Maybe this weekend I will have time to give it another go. Once I find the lamp, I can go there directly from Hunter's Dream, right?
Essentially you need to open the shortcut / gate so you can access that area quicker too, but in order to do that first time you need to 1. kill mob or run pass them 2. in the square with the water fountain and guy banging on the door - go back up the stairs you entered from and look at the coffins / boxes at the side of the area. Slash / whack these and you will reveal a shortcut down to the dogs in cages 3. kill the dogs and then go back / to the right and you will approach the house down an alley and up some stairs. 4. enter house and kill man on your left 5. leave the rest - just open the opposite door and on top of the first flight of stairs is a baddy. Kill him 6. open the gate next to the first lamp. Once that is open - you will no longer have to ever go through the mob again.
Then. go back to the house. Kill the man in the wheelchair to the right of the man you killed from the opposite side. Then proceed up stairs. There are two bad guys up here. First on the right of the stairs behind some barrels/boxes. The other on the mezzanine behind more boxes. You can kill these or skip them. There is an exit on top left of the house, exit through that and there is another bad guy on top - you can take out quickly from the back. You are now on the bridge, on the other side of the werewolves. Skip them. On your left next to a carriage you will see a big bad guy. Attract him with pebbles or throw a molotov. Dash avoid his heavy attack and take him down.
There are birds on the ground with him. kill them. If you proceed through the archway you will get the cleric beast. Make sure you have plenty of molotovs / oil. I killed mostly by throwing oil and then molotov and dodging. Recovering. Then repeating.
Only after killing cleric beast will you get the second lamp.
Okay, thanks for that.
I made it to the lamp next to the gate. I used it to travel back to hunters dream to buy some goodies. Now back in Hunters Dream, I don't have the option to travel back to that lamp... Only back to the beginning of Central Yarnam, restocked with baddies.
What did I do wrong? Are the lamps not quick travel check points?
Ha! Don't I feel a little stupid now...
In that case, I actually made some progress last night!
Yeah my backlog for 2015 is already starting to become a mountain and we haven't even reached peak yet. What's worse is I never got through my 2012,2013,2014 backlogs.I finished The Walking Dead season 2 (9Cs on the Cnasty scale, great game)
Gamefly just shipped The Last of Us Remastered. I played through it on the PS3 but excited to see it on the PS4 and play the DLC as well.
My backlog is so damn long that by the time some of these E3 games finally come out, there will be a new next gen console and the Wii U will be gone.
That one had me stumped until I saw your username9Cs on the Cnasty scale
I'm actually enjoying it more than batman which surprised me. Great game.Gotta take my comment re yoshi's wooly world back. love it so far!
Music is absolutely beautiful and quite diverse, graphics look great with a lot of cute details. i like the idea that collectibles in each level give you a new wooly skin each single stage, so even while you don't have any 'lives' to lose, it is a good incentive to do good. didn't test the co-op but no time limit make for a good premise imo. level design is nice, nothing too demanding so far, but if you want the collectibles it's a bit on the puzzler side. no challenge for a seasoned platformer vet but absolutely relaxing and gorgeous. if you have kids or a semi interested gf (or bf) this should be a 10/10 I guess.
glad i bought it just because
