I took on the Flying E4 member first. I led with an Electric-type, but I wasn't counting on them leading with a part-Ground type. The resulting switch I had to make ultimately led to half my team getting wiped. I didn't think to restock on Revives and met my untimely end against the Rock user two battles later.

Pokémon Sun.

This game is easily the hardest Pokémon game since maybe 3rd gen, and I love it--Game Freak finally took the jump from making most peoples' strategies "random flailing" with a couple of unusually hard trainers here and there (e.g. double battle involving a Slaking ability swap, Wally the competitive-level superboss) to giving everybody a little bit of an AI boost and giving basically all the bosses some kind of trick strategy somewhere in their lineup, even just little things like allowing them to make tactical switches. Frankly, the improved AI alone makes playing through the story more fun than most of the other games.

Err, I hate to ask, but which Ground-type Pokemon does she use?  I don't remember Kahili having any ground-types in the original battle or any of the rematches I've had so far with her. 

...I'm not sure how I misremembered this :v

Looking at her list, I think that I led with my starter, a Primarina, expecting to wipe her team with Ice Beam, but she led with Skarmory.

I suppose I must've somehow conflated my battle against Kahili with my battle against Olivia... :/

I didn't know I was going to be switching sides this late, so I ended up with a quest outcome that I really don't like in retrospect. I did this quest 4+ hours of gameplay ago and completed several storylines since then, so I'm going to have to see if I can kludge it with the console.

With Mr. House in control, the Omertas are fucked so it ultimately didn't matter if I gave them the guns and chlorine. It was just a choice of sending Securitrons after them now or later, and I picked later.

Now that I've killed House and taken control though, I can't oppose the Omertas any longer. As much as I love the branching paths and freedom of choice, the game's frustratingly unclear about when you've made a FOREVER choice or one that can be taken back later.

As an aside, the Mr. House reveal is probably the coolest moment in any Fallout game. Just the right balance of disturbing, tragic and pathetic.

Fallout: New Vegas.

[Rolan7]

Agreed, particularly after FO3's twist.  I know people don't like the game, but I liked that twist and how it plays into Mr House.

I've supported, in order:  The NCR, Wildcard, and finally the Legion as an exercise in depravity.  I haven't finished with Mr House, which is a little weird because I consider him the best leader of New Vegas.

I suppose my characters didn't see the big picture that I, as a wiki-browsing player with a House-supporting brother, had.
My NCR character didn't want to go through with it, though.  But I don't think there was any going back at that point...  IC or mechanically.
My wildcard character DGAF

[itisnotlogical]

I think my character just decided they could do Mr. House's plan better than Mr. House could. I don't think that's the intent behind the Wildcard ending, but then I'm not there yet.

In other news: Legate Lanius? Utter bullshit. His HP eats missiles for breakfast. He starts the fight with three Praetorian Guard on his side, which are probably the toughest Legion enemies besides himself. Then, if you somehow survive long enough to get him to half health, he'll run away and summon more like it's a thing to do. Not just melee enemies either, which could conceivably be kited if you had infinite HP to get punched around all day; he summons marksmen on rocks far above the battlefield, where it's almost impossible to kill them quickly.

I think I might have to do the DLC and come back to the endgame some other time.

FONV.

I left all my valuables in my base and went over to the aurora on a hunt for a reaper leviathan.  All I had with me was a seaglide, a spare battery and the scanner.  My plan was to do a suicide scan.

I was doing pretty good staying inside the leviathan's turning radius.  I got hit once but it was a glancing hit, so while I took a good 90% health in damage it didn't grab me properly to eat me and instakill.  90% scanning and it pulls away, probably to get another good straight on swim at me.  And it runs into one of the rocks behind the aurora (I was back by the engines).

For some reason there is immediately some kind of physics glitch and the reaper leviathan is launched straight up like a bandit hit by a skyrim giant.  It flies FAR into the sky, to the point where I can barely make the thing out before it comes back towards the ocean.  Landing back in the ocean extremely far away.  Probably somewhere in the void.

On my way back to base I get distracted searching a wreck for blueprints and get finished off by something I didn't see,  Probably a sand shark.

Subnautica

[Lukewarm]

I, the Khan of Yabadabadoo (or something like that, I really only judge by color), was busily invading Rome so that I might settle my clan there, when suddenly my carriage took a decidedly not delightful turn off a cliff. My only heir was a little girl, so my Khanate was lost to one of my rival clans.
Unfortunately for him, however, my dynasty has been Khan for a while. And a good Khan always keeps the best land for herself...
If you put your ear to the ground and you know what you're listening for, you might be able to make out the sound of ten thousand horses approaching Kiev.  Meanwhile, the current Khan's three thousand weak and effeminate clannies are biding their time, waiting for the end.

I happened across some Legionary assassins. Even though I was wearing metal armor and a helmet in good condition, they still have absurd DPS and chewed through my health in no time. I couldn't even use a Stimpack, since the Pip-Boy only seems to come up every second or third time I hit the button in combat. Same with VATS.

Still not as frequent or death-causing as Skyrim's "You can't shout because game says no" glitches.

Fallout: New Vegas.

Not to mention that you can't even prepare for them since they spawn so close to you.

[Akura]

Walked a few rooms in, even before anything actually happened, and realized I really don't think I'm brave enough for this game, and exited.

I still hate how much damage reduction their armor has despite leaving the arms and legs bare.  I ragequit my first playthrough because I thought automatic weapons would be practical, but the 10mm smg was like a squirtgun against them.  S'all about the Big Iron in that game.

Death...  Well I finally sold my soul in Fallen London, and turns out I didn't read the fine print.  My plan to get it right back didn't work out.  Hopefully I'm being used to run a steamship or something.  I don't plan to find out what happens if my body dies before I get it back.

"Let's see about creeping by the locals, shall we?" chided Dean Domino, as he charged to battle the three Ghost People that were standing right in front of us when the area loaded in.

If you're going to force a stealth section, fine, but you have to place the enemies in such a way that stealth is actually an option. And if you can force my companions to stop following me, then you can be nice enough to switch the "passive" option on the character that's constantly telling me to be more stealthy.

I like this DLC's story but holy shit no more awkward first-person stealth in dark areas please.

I didn't think of it much when I got a notice that a man eating pack of bears showed up, just going about my business. Then I zoomed out while paused and saw a veritable wave of brown bears, like 12. I was not ready for that. The only one ready was Vaughn, a former Space Marine (not the 40k type) and the de facto leader of our colony with 18 social to match his 18 shooting who stood against the horde with his assault rifle to distract them while we quickly set up 2 turrets at the main entrance.

He did not make it but the colony lives. He has a superior quality tomb just off the main foyer.
