I'm playing the same and the game is much tougher than the first. Expert mode is truly more difficult this time around.

The AI Director is a vindictive bitch this time around. Props to Valve for making the game like crack. I was unable to resist buying it after playing the demo.

Persona 4. God damn the boss in the sauna stage was a bitch.

Galaxian, Galaga or Galaga 3 while on a boring lecture. (enjoy your matchmaking; recent fpses are a fucking disgrace)

I really feel like saying something about how that's ironic considering your nationality.

Yes well... I actually thought about wording the above a bit differently to avoid the ironic twist that you pointed out, but decided that the current one

1) describes the location in the game perfectly
2) is just better, irony notwithstanding or because of it

Really? I've found it's more generous this time around...

To this day, nothing beats the time in Crash Course when the game kept throwing Tanks at me. Just wouldn' fucking stop. I killed like seven tanks in one level.

Goddamn.

Whats really getting me this time are those damn set off the alarms and dash to the shutoff through the horde bullshit. Also the grenade launcher sounds orgasmic, but in reality is not all that helpful. (i.e. I am really stupid with such devices).

I've found it's best when you see a group of zombies in the distance...

Also, I'm pretty sure that if, for some reason, I had stayed around, it would have kept throwing Tanks at me.

Crash Course is pretty easy on expert. It's tough the first couple times around because of how much longer in length each sections are.

Just finished Phantasy Star Universe offline story mode...

Coincidentally, so did I.

Seriously, Sega? Are you so desperate for money that you're going to include a commercial for network mode in the game? Like the big NETWORK MODE option on the title screen isn't a clue?

I guess. I've never played it on Expert Mode(long story short, due ot medical conditions, I have slower reflexes than most people, thus high level FPS play is off limits for meeeeeeeee).

That said, dealing with one tank RIGHT after another in single player mode is never easy, ever, especially if it's during the Finale...

The Lighthouse was such a bitch. I don't know how I managed to last over ten minutes with just a friend and two bots. Also, funny pic grin.

I'd've cut them some slack if it was at least funny.
They could've made something useless but amusing with the same premise of "characters in the game advertising the game" but... no sense of humor whatsoever.

You know what sucks ?

When a game with a stupidly steep learning curve makes you believe you're done learning the bullshit it can throw at you and

suddenly, assrape

Wat ? Disgaea's fair game. Power fair game, but fair game still. Can't beat some shit, grab a couple hundred levels for both you and your eq and try again. Pretty flat learning curve aside from finding the best method to level at MAXXXX SPEEED for each game in the series. Which is great fun to my doublemunchkin instincts.

Nah, I'm talking about godforsaken demon's souls lethal doom swamp of motherfucking death that kills (aka 5-2). You get bumfucked through 1-1 every 50 seconds or so learning the ropes, then you burn through worlds 1-2 through 5-1 eyes closed (dragon god is pretty awesome, btw)
and WHAMMO, fucking swamp that makes all your usual strategies so utterly useless, and sprinkled with one-hit-kill mobs for the sucker punch.

First time I even have to change eq to survive.

I bet 5-3 will be back to the (relatively more) vanilla difficulty of the rest of the game, at that.

WHAT THE FUCK DID I SAY

Anyway, momohime is mai waifu (*´Д`)ﾊｧﾊｧ
