Re: Island master fight is a huge disappointment (spoilers)

While I have no played many of the 'old school' games. I do know 2 things. 1, they had better mechanics and puzzles. And 2, the secrets were actually hidden. For example I remember in one of them, right in the very beginning of the game there was a really powerful weapon hidden in a secret. But the...

Re: Island master fight is a huge disappointment (spoilers)

that's until he pushes you into a spike pit. it doesn't even have to be a pit - he can just push you away, which also stuns you temporarily, leaving you open to the attack of the clones (tm), letting him to restore the shield.. basically, if he pushes you, you are mostly screwed. you can obviously ...

Re: Island master fight is a huge disappointment (spoilers)

well, yeah, it makes sense story-wise, and i can see how the devs wanted the players to be proactive and attack in that fight instead of holding back and sniping/counter-attacking as usual, but i just hate it when i'm forced to do that Why not? you just need 1 person to walk up to him and wail on h...

Re: Island master fight is a huge disappointment (spoilers)

i think his shields were the weakest part conceptually. you just have to rely on him 'forgetting' to restore them, which apparently he can do at any moment at no cost I know its almost like hes "testing" you to a high standard not just trying to outright murder you....what a CRAZY idea we...

Re: Ring on a String?

It should have Invisibility. :) Not if you wear it as a necklace though. And since GR2 doesn't have a ring slot, looks like the devs have a pretty strong case if accused of not implementing it (also, invisibility on a single character won't be all that useful). It would be nice to be able to destro...

Re: Final Boss

I think it's a bit disappointing that you pretty much rely on his mercy in not restoring the shield once it's down if he's too busy fighting you, as that costs him nothing (apparently), and he could win the fight with the shield alone (although the fact that he *wants* you replace him kind of expla...
