The Dismemberment-Out: It's been nice knowing you, Jazz

[Rasgrez]

Hey. I have a gold pip.
... but I only have 9884 rep points...

So? You have a gold pip.

[Tanthias]

Haven't seen him around.

He can do it if he wants, I was asking primarily because I offered to do it if no one else will.

Right now I have to finish up some current video stuff, so I won't be starting anything new for a couple days.

Hopefully I find out if he's doing it or not by then. If I don't hear anything, I should just assume he's planning to handle it and commence some new brand of suffering.

I told him to let you know if he can't, but otherwise I figure he will be doing the PS2 version.

That would most likely be the version I'd play as well, so it all evens out in the end.

I'm actually using two at the moment. I usually avoid them myself, but this game kind of makes them necessary, at least if you don't want to waste years of your life trying to do everything just right.

The one who can't tell east from west (and very inconsistently I might add, so I can't just swap the two whenever I encounter one) is a guide that Gare linked me to. It's pretty good at detailing where and when you need to go (which is an issue, when you can time travel and there are only specific moments that you can talk to certain people/have certain options).

The other one is very vague, but if it says something like "go all the way back to the start," I can at least determine if I really do need to go west, or if I should be going east instead.

Of course, I could just watch the true ending on YouTube. But that's not the same. Also, I really like this game and its story, so I don't want to miss all the little bits of dialogue in between.

Yeah, that would be a bit frustrating. I agree, though -- I hate watching the "true endings" on Youtube for a game that I already own. As much as I want to see the story for Heavy Rain, I refuse to watch it on Youtube because it's just so much more entertaining to play through it yourself.

Good luck.

Yay for broken math!

I'm almost finished, just two more to do. I think.

Thank goodness for being able to skip bits I've already seen and for the auto-battle option.

Oh, I've definitely uploaded worse, as well.



I've picked up a couple of extra strategies. Mostly just getting used to where the enemies spawn, a couple of different tactics for taking down a couple of the bosses a bit faster, etc. It's also easier to control on the NES, so there's a lot less "FUCK YOU COGS OF DEATH!" in the last level, and more "SWISH" as I jump through the narrow openings. I'm still working on my Joker battle plans, though, 'cause I just... can't quite seem to find a method that works for me there.





I've noticed that the majority of the "no-death" or "no-hit" runs on Youtube don't have commentary. I'm assuming this is because they need to concentrate.
I just watched a no-death run that was obviously recorded with an emulator, and while he has pretty much the exact same strategy in all of the same places as I do, there's a couple of parts where he is severely lacking.
Beyond that, though, it would simply be a truncated version of the original run that I already did, where I learned how to beat most of these guys (ie., the two white boxes are SO MUCH EASIER when you're not trying to dodge them all the time and get off one boomerang shot at a time).

I'm going to hold onto it, and if I can't get a recording of a no death run by the end of the weekend, then I'll post it and never play the fucking game again.

why not do like what they do on dvd's , Directors commentary then you can use the existing footage

[Milady]

Side questing complete.

Now to fight the final boss again.

That what I probably will end up doing. I would just much rather put up a no-death run rather than a no-continue run, since it's so much more impressive.
That and I want to see if I can beat the game in under fifteen minutes.

[Rasgrez]

The night sure is moving pretty slow for me. Probably because I'm not playing any games at the moment.

That would do it.
I'm gonna grab a beer and have a smoke, attempt Batman one more time, then probably play Darksiders for a couple of hours before passing out on the couch.
Because yay me!
Also, I just got paid.
And it's not nearly enough.

[Drageuth]

/might need to quit smoking so he can afford food

[Rasgrez]

That you definitely should.

Might cook up some snacks, watch Iron Chef after, then concoct a new theme for myself. Probably. Maybe.

Yes, but quitting smoking when you're stressed is even harder.
Oh well. We'll see how long I last. Gonna go play Batman again.
