Dunno, haven't played it yet

[Eric Blank]

Got eaten by a bear while being punched by a spriggan.

Oblivion. Bears are no joke

Especially bears summoned by spriggans.

Its okay, today i got eaten alive by slaughterfish before i could get out of the water. Makes spriggans seem almost polite.

Oblivion again


Also played starmade, got wrecked in a pvp duel by a real dedicated pvp player, real confident he could takee and another guy simultaneously in a ship half the size of mine. Didnt even get his shields down because i couldnt score a hit with the missiles (he had like 10 ams turrets), and beams only accounted for 50% of my damage output. I had the stronger armor and shield tank, but his rapid fire cannons and cannon turret tore into them all the same. His turret could hit me from any angle, even directly behind him and literally ramming his ass. It was humiliating, and a sad reminder that the dedicated pvp players just build and think so much different from me. I built a compact tank with adequate power and weapons for pve, he built a glass cannon with thousands of dps from cannons and unbeatable power production, turret and radar jammer. Said if he cut the turret he could perma-cloak.

My friend barely factored into the equation, he couldnt land a hit at all with purely lock on missiles.

I have made good progress in learning the Su-25. I can fly it quite well, and have learned how to use its weapons and ordnance. It is a pleasant aeroplane to fly, all together. However, navigation and landing continues to elude me, so I have been practicing that lately.

I came down rather hard and fast last time. It was not pretty. However, the standards for what constitutes a successful landing seems terribly low.

Any landing you can walk away from, right?

[Silverthrone]

Well, quite. Nine botched landings out of ten, I can at least punch out to safety.

Not on the pictured occasion, though. I had an engine fire, and the aeroplane went up in smoke a few moments after I took the photograph. I miss-pressed the key-command for the catapult-seat. Rather served me right, truth be told.

_{(Still better than the time the aeroplane rolled over as I punched out at low altitude, and I managed to launch myself head-first into the ground.)}

Was told to crawl to blend in with a nearby pile of corpses. The person telling me this was blocking the doorway, causing me to automatically switch to a kneeling position. Cue hail of bullets making sure I blended in with the corpse pile quite well(by being one of them).

I think the last time I died was getting firebapled by a wizard five minutes into the shift.

I never actually saw anyone with that problem. I always saw Ishmael move out of the way fast enough.

My own death:

I tried to capture the captain/pilot (I assume) of a ship by having my troops try to hit it in the head.

Several failed attempts resulted in the alien turn passing.

The alien dropped a live bomb at its feet.

One of my soldiers died.

The main problem I have with this game is that I don't really feel that connected with my soldiers. Sure, I recognize a few names and such on missions, but I'm never actually able to grow particularly attached to any one of them.

The fact that nicknames don't exist in this game doesn't help either.

Also Canada signed a pact with the aliens.

Ehhhh, I might have been a bit impatient at that scene.

"Oh, this isn't too bad. Haven't even gotten hi-OH GOD WHY DOES THAT DO SO MUCH-"

At this point in the tutorial, all the enemies have guns and you don't. Ishmael doesn't have a gun either. Impatience is not a virtue, here or anywhere else in the game.

Lecarde Chronicles 2

[Rolan7]

With most of my team dead, my main character juuuust managed to defeat an Item King in single-ish combat. The final blow was a counter-counter-counter-counter-attack.  There were still enemies on the board, but none particularly threatening to my main character.  Next turn-
A mothman had poisoned my character.  Poison can be applied even if the monster did 0 damage, and does 20% of your *full* health per turn.  And it can kill, and my healer was long dead.

Disgaea 2

(Fortunately I had *one* more character to bring out, an unlevelled fighter I use to toss my actual characters around the map.  He used an escape-teleport.  When I came back, the Item King was back - turns out this is actually a pro-strat, in that killing the Item King twice boosts the item even more)

At this point in the tutorial, all the enemies have guns and you don't. Ishmael doesn't have a gun either. Impatience is not a virtue, here or anywhere else in the game.

Well, yeah.  I've died around that point too though.  It's been a while, but I think I moved too slowly when I was supposed to get up and stumble to different cover.
It's a very nice section, but can be a bit tedious to replay parts.

The hospital in MGS5 is also wholly unlike the rest of the game, which mostly involves tying balloons to things.

[SeriousConcentrate]

Except the last mission in the game. It's a lot like the intro.
