Words cannot describe how much I loathe chapter 14. I disliked it on normal difficulty, i hated it on hard difficulty to the point that I spent all of my infinite climax difficulty playthrough preparing to lessen the suckiness of it. After every level there is a shooting galley mini-game, if you get enough points you can use it to buy consumables like refill magic potions, temporary invincibility, etc. So I spent all my points on invincibility potions to prepare for chapter 14.

The level is like space harrier or star fox, its a shmup from behind the shoulder perspective. The missile you are riding on has HUGE flarings on the back so it obscures your vision and if you don't kill the enemies quickly (you can't on higher difficulties since it takes more than one shot to kill them) then they fill the screen with shots and the only way to successfully avoid them is to barrel roll. Unfortunately barrel rolling also rotates the camera 360 degrees too so it's a bit sickly inducing to barrel roll over and over. So I saved all my invincibility lollipops to eat when killing the 2 sets of dragons and the end ship boss boss.

Then for the second half you face off against someone who is like you, has the same skills, but is more powerful. In infinite climax mode she is also block happy and there is no witch time (slow) so it is really difficult to get a good combo going. Occasionally in the fight you can engage in a counter attack in which it prompts you to press Triangle + circle, and then you have to mash a button enough times in a certain time to win and do damage to her. Unfortunately no matter how fast I tapped I could never win. So I eventually gave up trying to engage her and just started popping invincibility lollies again until the fight was over.

---

Very deep combo system, very great over the top presentation, but lots of instant death QTEs, some annoying changes in gameplay styles, and some areas which just aren't fair due to bad placement of cameras (narrow corridors with large enemies makes it almost impossible to see what's going on) or other reasons. So after finishing the plat on both games, Vanquish is the better Platinum Games game IMO.

Are you going to try Revengeance? Seems up your alley.

Yes, I picked it up last black Friday but haven't gotten to it yet, partly because I'm still behind on the other MGS games. I have never played (but own to play) 2, 3, Peacewalker, portable ops, and 4. Does Revengeance has any spoilers for those earlier games?

That's about my only take away is the Hawks played 1 good qtr. Hawks were walking into an ambush, home opener, revenge game, played 1 good qtr, and still had a shot to win.

This definitely felt good, but I feel like all the last 3 games have been revenge games. It's gotten worse and worse as you've been coming away with the victories, and we finally got a win. I m sure you guys will snap back into it and maybe see you again in another championship game. I don't see too many NFC teams to worry about yet. The east is all messed up as usual. Niners looked good week 1, but got killed today. Arizona always finds a way to screw up in the end. Saints and Falcons definitely aren't dominant anymore.

Besides some references and one character, Revengeance is pretty self contained.

Plus you are sitting pretty. Your main competition in the division is Detroit. They have stumbled out of the gate.

Wow, Graham and Lynch did jack shit last night huh?  Apparently Green Bay couldnt score a TD either.  16 points for my kicker is nice.  I might actually need those points another week so lets keep the FG party going GB!

They got two touchdowns Budnick. Now get it right or pay the price.

 
Terrible fantasy week for me.  I lose in our league by less than 4 points thanks to Romo getting sand in his vajayjay like usual and Jimmy Graham doing nothing.

In another league I lost by 1.1 and had one of the highest point totals of all teams.  Once again Graham was to blame along with Lacy deciding to not me a man anymore.  Me not swapping out Baltimore's defense was worst part though.  They lost me a point of that 1.1 I lost by.

 
just a friendly reminder, the gold ds3 (207-00-0455) might drop to $17 at your local target this week.  I have just one store that's dropped but I'm a-gonna keep checkin.  I need to replace the ds3 I have that randomly presses buttons on its own.

No, definitely keep sharing any good packers seahawks memes you come across. I deleted my Facebook a couple months ago so I'll miss out on the barrage of one's that'll show up on there.

One store has not close but not that bad has 9 and another has 6 that is not far at all. Oddly the one with 6 does not show on the map, but shows in the list below it.

Is this the final drop or is there another?

Went ahead and picked up Mamorukun Curse as the gameplay looks interesting (it doesn't auto scroll so there are often obstacles in the foreground that you also have to overcome), there are quite a few modes, it has a pretty valuable plat, and its only $2.

I'll wait for one more price reduction on Gundam Reborn and One Piece World Red.

70% off will be the last before they're trucked off to goodwill or wherever. there is the mythical 90% drop, but it's as rare as a unicorn and usually doesn't kick in unless the cycle started at 50% off. brickseek definitely isn't 100% reliable on pricing but around these parts its been incredibly precise about inventory so I'll probably check on the two closest today over a late lunch so they have time to knock down the prices.

I thought I was golden heading into my work league match up down 30 with Romo, Randle, and Philly kicker. Somehow I came out of that down 40 with only Chris Ivory left tonight.

Then the Bradford/Murray combo on the other side mostly fucked over my CAG team. So fuck that game in the ear. At least I'm only down 10 there with Moncrief tonight, so I like my chances.

there's a reason for this. a fair number of the trophies are real nutbusters. it's still easier than raiden iv though, I don't understand how anyone does a 1cc on that thing.

Shows 3 in Stock at the store by me. I'd pick one up for $17 if they had it at that for sure. Thanks, I'll check it out.

Edit: says 27.98 atm

edit - top, I posted this for you.  don't ever question how much I suck again!  although I did finally get an A rank on a mission right before this and it was like 2k points short of S.  it felt like cheating - I died to an onslaught of assholes so everything was already marked on my second try.  having tried before I knew they were going to drive off in a jeep with the guy I wanted so when I respawned I just sniped the two drivers and then ran around in a wide arc to the other side while they were looking for me and stole the jeep, driving off in to the afghan wilderness.   is that stealth?

My target has a couple copies of minecraft left that I think they've forgotten about. Stickers still say $10 but brickseek has them marked at $6. Think I'd have any luck with them ringing up at $6? They're still in the lockup cases for whatever reason.

yeah, probably. just ask someone to take them out and check the price, they get it all the time on clearance stuff so it's not weird. otherwise you can go to a scanner and type in the dpci (which is printed on the tag - 207-20-xxxx or something). on the newer scanners (that don't have number buttons) you have to hit the lower right button to get a keypad to show up on the screen if it isn't locked down.

I made a rookie move in my one league where Brady is my QB; started the Bills D. Note to self: Don't start the defense your QB is playing against. That resulted in a -3, plus my opponent had the Cardinals D. Somehow though, if Andre Johnson scored 3pts I can still win.

Waxed Derek in the CAG league thanks in large part to a combined 83pts from D. Williams, Julio, and Amari.

This is why I try not to Platinum too many games, stories like this. I 2nd you should play Revengance as well. Another annoying end boss! :) Maybe not to that extent though. Fun game though.

One target near me has a mix of the lowest prices (70%) off while some of the games are still at 50% off like Minecraft. I remember people use to print out barcodes and use the in store scanners to see if prices dropped. Just in case you don't feel like having to get a clerk to check the price.

The brickseeker item lookup never works for me. Gator helped me out with finding out some info from it, but any idea why it wouldn't work for me? I've tried 3 different browsers.

 
I do not know what just happened...

I call my wife to ask if she thinks we should get one of the on sale controllers since we got my oldest a PS3 due to that cheap Infinity Bundle.  I was on the fence about even getting another, and she tells me to get 3.  I guess that old saying about women getting things on sale even if they don't need them is holding true here.   I can understand 1, but 3 is insane.

 
Heroes of Loot is going to be $3 and have an additional PS Plus discount.

The PlayStation®Vita version is the definitive version with precise physical controls, Leaderboards and Trophies. Released with a very reasonable price tag of just $2.99 / €2.98 and an additional discount for PSPlus members, we believe we’re giving excellent value for money.”

Wow, someones knows their game and priced it accordingly? Dear N++ you're an asshole.

 
Never heard of Wasteland 2 but it looks pretty cool. Despite what the gameplay looks like, I guess there's not co-op at all? Its just single player?
