I ALMOST beat those guys on my first try, no summon needed. I just had to activate Magic Weapon while Lightning Smough attacked me...SweetShark said:
explain to me, what was so hard about those two? i killed them after my 9th trythesilentman said:
you too, what was so hard about sif? he didn't even kill meAnathrax said:
i guess i'm cheating ;_;
Yeah, they gave me more trouble than any other boss up to that point. Probably ended up dying something like twenty times before I finally downed them. Right now I'm stuck in the Oolacile Sanctuary, because there are stone guardians there that toss me around like I'm a football.thesilentman said:
OT: Metro 2033 is the only game I've uninstalled out of frustration. Generally, I enjoy stealth mechanics in games. But that's also when the AI doesn't have the ability to telepathically determine your exact location because you couldn't kill an enemy in one hit, and you actually have the ability to lose the AI after you've been found.
You see, I went to the jungle exactly after I finished the bell gargoyles. Now I can't just leave those 30k souls lying around at Sifs, even if I farm it's still lost souls. But the worst part is the battle itself. He keeps jumping around and not letting me get under his legs. That double 360 somehow hits me(Shield up by the way) when I'm under the bastard,insta killing me. I can beat him, I just can't get focused enough to do so.Laurents van Cauwenberghe said:
well you're probably not ready for him yet, i just kept standing under him and chopped him into minced meet without even using my shield. i recommend that you just farm the giant guys in anor londo with the silver serpent ring and/or the mark of avarice. they give tons of souls if you don't suck =3Anathrax said:
Urgh, I have one last achievement/trophy to get in Deus Ex: Human Revolution.
I was on my second playthrough hoovering these trophies up, and so I needed a zero fatality, zero alarms, and constant hard difficulty playthrough. I swear, every level I was saving (tactically across three save slots) every minute, I was totalled in stealth powerups despite screwing myself for it with those first two bosses, and I'd rejected the tranq rifle as sometimes it could cause death (quite rare but it came up now and again).
I finish the game. Watch through the credits. Pacifist trophy pops, hard difficulty trophy pops... and that's it.
I need to reply the whole game just to get the zero alarms trophy... which I'm positive I should have already gotten, and so have no idea how to change my gameplay to get it.
The game sits on my shelf now, there is significant dust settling.

In Mass Effect 3, when you
It wasn't so tough once you got the hang of it, but the fact that the laser it shoots at you will either home in on you or not home in at all made it really annoying.
Plus, the hitbox on that laser is ridiculous, even considering how powerful it is. You need to roll several times to get safely out of the way, and if you roll in the wrong direction, you're pretty much screwed.
Completely kills the gravitas of the moment when you've got to interrupt the sequence every twenty seconds because fuck you, player.
fight the Reaper on Rannoch on foot.

Way to channel Shodan there, manSirPlindington said:
Though I share your Dishonoured "ruined-no-kill-run" experience, I also had a similar experience but in another game. I was playing Hitman: Blood Money on the hardest difficulty (no saves allowed) and was trying to complete the level where you have to kill the old porn tycoon and the senator's 20-something man-child son. I glided through the level like a ghost, killing nobody... or so I though. It turns out that when I fed the old guy's pet dog a poisoned wiener it counted as an act of violence towards an innocent. DAMN YOU, PETA!!! DAMN YOU!!
The real ***** of it is, I did the entire level again without touching the dog at all only to be screwed out of my Silent Assassin rating once again because apparently the dog counted as a witness to me shoving the old guy over the balcony! So...what? I guess the police have that dog-whisperer guy working for them now?
(The only way to do that level is to tranq the wiener and toss it to the dog BEFORE you kill the old man.)
Once i had a guy die, because i chocked him out, and he went sliding down a set of stairs. So eiter he died from 2 bruises, or fell on his own sword.
more OT, there are different levels of frustration;
- The pissed off kind, i get this whenever i play BF3 and die because i jumped of a 3 foot high ledge.
- The annoyed because i STILL havent finished this boss. Had this with Batman Arkham Asylum. The joker fight was pretty annoying, almost never play those kinda games, and on the hardest difficulty, without the right upgrades, it was a fucking nightmare.
- The game is so bloody broken it is unplayable. Only game i EVER uninstalled because i just couldnt get past a part due to crappy design. (cant remember the name)
Thats all i can come up with.

i recommend you pick a pyromancer, they start at level 1 so you can spend you souls on stats you actually want + you start with pyromancy which is quite OP at the beginningAnathrax said:
The spinning blade walls in the first God of War. It was the video game equivalent of someone pinning your arms down and repeatedly slapping you in the face.
Spoilers if anyone hasn't gotten past the flooded district. If you have to confront granny rags either darting her or throwing her emblem thing into the fire it will count as a kill. To get a no kill run you have to run in there grab the key and just leave. Same exact thing happened to me and I was pissed.SirPlindington said:
Oooo! Ooo! Question! First Run or NG+? Cause my Battlemage sauntering around in her combination of Orn and Smough's armour would like to know how you feel about MAGIC!thesilentman said:
Though if you really do need help with them then Solaire is always available. Though just wait until the Four Kings fight. Now that is grueling.
OT: PVP in Dark Souls. On the PC. If it's not waiting forever for the bloody phantom to invade already so you can murder him and sit at a bonfire or the amount of times you try invading and it fails then it's the fact they lag stab you... when you're behind them. HOW IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE!
Oh and Teemo. Screw Teemo and his poison darts killing my Viktor from max health every single time...
OH GOD DAMN IT! I just played through the entire fucking mission again and got the same result. I hope I have a save from before I killed Granny Rags. Thanks a bundle, though. I know what I'm doing now.Sectan said:
You were killing granny rags? Thats a rather obvious flaw in the plan XDSirPlindington said:
I just didnt do any of the side stuff, i know theres a few killing ones so they are a no no.
Also never kill/ possess the rats because THEY count as kills as well!
