i know, but a lot of people playing on normal also report game play times at least twice the length of u3

well, i did keep melee prompts and progress hints turned on, though the latter is mostly p. useless and actually gets in the way when you're scouting for treasure

but yeah it def. took me longer because of the greater difficulty and lack of listen mode

David, what's your total playtime by now?

nine hours and three minutes lol

imo it's not one of the harder mega man games but it's still harder than 5, 6, 7, 8, and 10 lol

though there are some tricky parts in the re-done stages later in the game

idk ten is pretty tough unless ur on easy

[Samus Aran]

i thought 10 was as easy as 5 and 6 personally

[me003]

i cant beat wily in 9

the hardest part of it is easily the needle man redux stage because you fight air man again and then you have to do a big ol rush jet section which is just dicks but if you die in between to regain your health it's not so bad

the wily stages are fucking cake

idk i think 7 is fairly unbeatable without an emulator and save states just because the final boss is a piece of shit that continuously hurts you when you can only sometimes hurt it, but other than that it's easy

i have yet to actually beat 10 on not easy mode and i think i'm at wily's castle in 9

i wanna get good at all of them though

[Samus Aran]

being able to blaze through these games feels so good

well, i can't blaze through 7, 8 and 10 cause i haven't played them as much

but 2 and 9 especially are just muscle memory to me now

Thank you for The Walking Dead, Thyme.

time to find tec's post here

after wading through dp john and snowy's arguments...

[spoiler]

i'm not even sure what to think, i'm still contemplating how i feel about that ending

on one hand, it was really the only logical conclusion, joel had become too attached to ellie (it didn't help that to him she turned out to be an almost perfect replica of sarah) over the course of their journey and selfishly decided to live out the life he never had with his daughter vicariously through her

there was no way he was going to allow his second and very likely last chance at fatherhood to end so tragically for a second time at the hands of humans who "couldn't understand"

on the other hand, it's absolutely stunning and extremely bittersweet that naughty dog decided to stick to an ending that's so somber, joel and ellie (she was definitely aware of or at least suspected what joel had done, and joel knew that she knew) just acknowledge the gravity of joel's decision knowing that he's turned his back on humanity for his sake and his sake alone and that's that

and the fact that such a gripping tale had to conclude at all might make my feelings about it even more complicated, i was unrealistically hoping for a surprise chapter or post-credit dialogue or something to make it easier to swallow oh god[/spoiler]

[spoiler]

i particularly love how subtly the tale of joel's mental deterioration was told, though

it's almost funny how he had hand-crafted crafted his entire personality over the last twenty years such that he was impossible to emotionally compromise (or so he thought) after suffering such a heartbreaking loss

his initially harsh and dismissive and cold behavior (which didn't sit well with me at first) is exactly what would have saved the world had he been able to maintain it, but unfortunately for him, he gradually began to see ellie as a reincarnation of his daughter, and unfortunately for humanity, she was their only known chance to reverse their fortunes

but fug lol, i still almost can't believe it ended like that, jesus christ

it's the most bittersweet game i've ever played[/spoiler]

[spoiler]surely joel knew her fate too at the beginning when he found out she was immune?  he didn't sound all that sure of them just 'taking blood' from her in the university's medical building



also oh god david is the biggest asshole the game could have thrown at you [/spoiler]

i thought 10 was as easy as 5 and 6 personally

well fine then... mr mega master...
