Er, Bayonetta 2 on Wii U had a 10 from Gamespot. This is literally the same review with a tiny blurb at the top saying that the Switch version is the definitive one because it has fewer framerate dips and is portable. Gamespot didn't give the title a separate page for the new console. The video has an upload date of October 2014.

So they just reposted a review? Lol

They didn't repost anything. This isn't even a new web page. If you look at the page history, it goes all the way back to when Bayonetta 2 was announced for Wii U. They literally just updated the page saying the game was also on Switch and added one paragraph to describe the minute version differences.

Each time you get a new brush stroke (and there's a lot of them) Issun has to tell you how to use it immediately after. Which is fine...except this continues through the entire game, even to the second to last dungeon.

Uh... what would suggest as the alternative? The game doesn't even tell you what the brush strokes do before these tutorials. Like would you just expect the player to figure out how to use Waterspout to make geysers on their own?

Passwords with multiple words are actually less safe if they're just the words outright.

Makes it easier to use a dictionary to brute-force the password if necessary.

I'm pretty sure that a dictionary hacker brute-forcing a password will have a much easier time getting one word with common character substitutions (numbers for letters, $ for s, etc.) and/or one special character at the beginning or end, than just stringing together three or four random words that don't have any logical connection.

Those character substitutions roughly multiply the number of guesses by 1 to 3 per character, while using additional words takes the original number of guesses and raises it to the n power, where n is the number of words used. (It'd actually be significantly more than that, even, because the a^n formula assumes that the hacker knows how many words to use--checking combinations of fewer words first would be likely, making it take even longer.)

But yes, simply doing one little nonsensical thing that a dictionary hacker would literally never check, like adding "5%6" in the middle of a word, is technically infinitely more helpful than simply increasing the number of attempts needed, at least against that type of attack.

Oh, I know what you're talking about now. You mean the cheese rolls, that consist of a six inch tortilla with the three cheese blend, yeah. Most people that get them get them for their kids. I dunno why a full grown adult would ever order them. I thought you were talking about the actual mini quesadillas that have the cheese, chipotle sauce, and chicken/beef in them.

They must have renamed the item, because when I ordered it (something like three or four years ago), it was called a cheese quesadilla.

Still sounds better than their dollar cheese quesadilla where they put a little circle of processed cheese on a tortilla the size of your palm, with no seasoning whatsoever.

Those things are pretty tasty, tho. Hell, just about everything at Taco Bell is tasty.

Cheese is tasty in general because it's basically a legal drug in how your brain reacts to it.

I would not pay more than 25 cents for that menu item, though. It does absolutely nothing to fill you and it's about the laziest thing I've ever seen. There is absolutely no way it should cost the same as a larger, more filling taco that also contains some meat to justify the cost.

Also, if you want GP to actually have effect, you have to charge up your shield. I forget the button combination by now but if you have the red shield symbol next to the charges, that should be enough

GPing while the shield is charged will do damage and get you charges for reload I think. You should see the sparking effect on the spot that you GP'd with

You can always GP. It only does a phial blast while the shield is charged, but you don't GP for the phial blasts, you do it because it reduces knockback and can be done mid-combo. Sharpness loss is based on the amount of knockback taken (1, 2, or 10 points based on the animation you get), as is stamina loss and the window before you can act again (and the maximal knockback prevents you from doing counter actions).

Charging the shield increases your knockback resistance from "literally identical to a greatsword" to "identical to a lance or gunlance for the maximal knockback threshold, with a very slightly lower threshold for medium knockback". Combine with a GP and you have the most knockback resistance for all types in the game.

In MHGen they made GPs give no advantage over regular guarding (no additional knockback resistance and phial bursts happen on regular guards too), but red shield eliminates all sharpness loss from guarding.

It's a lot easier mid-combo because you can't guard. If you press R even the slightest fraction of a second (whatever rate the game takes inputs, which seems to be faster than the framerate) before X to do the morph-to-axe GP, you'll be considering to have morphed out of guard, which has no GP whatsoever. The animation for this is noticeably different (your shield jumps to being attached to the upper portion of the axe immediately and is never in front of you).

If you want to do a GP raw, without doing a quick slash first, you can always use the touch screen button for kicks, which is "special attack" (in this case, morph) while your weapon is drawn. You can swap this with the start button, too, to use start to GP, but I found this really awkward (and it forces you to open the menu with the touch screen or select, which takes getting used to). The other option is to get really practiced at hitting X the slightest fraction of a second before R.

Only if you have a hammer, usually tail otherwise.

The only time you wouldn't be going for the head is when you can't be, i.e. you don't have the range like with S&S, longsword, dual blades, etc. Greatsword, Charge Blade, Lance, Gunlance... all would rather be hitting the head than anywhere else, except for the few monsters where the head isn't a weak point. Weapons that can't hit the head want to be going for areas that create damage windows like the legs.

Tails are easy to cut and take like two combos from anything that does decent opportunistic damage (so not S&S or lance, for example, which are more about steady damage). Focusing the tail the whole hunt instead of going for more damage or more opportunties to wail on the monster freely (tripping, status effects, etc.) is a bad practice.

Kirin was awful in 4U too, just you could send him flying left and right if you got him under control. Still had that oh-so-fun paralysis and thunderblight stun spam that could lead to really dumb combos against you and carts from extremely high health. You really had to bring steam bombs to fight off that thunderblight at the rate at which it would get applied.

Charge Blade is the best weapon, yeah. Mostly because of how freaking sweet it feels to pull off mid-combo guard points and predictively AED the head. I've actually never really liked the SAED as a move because of how imprecise it is, with the whole shockwave coming out behind the axe impact, so I'm a little bummed that they buffed that move so much it's now technically the best to use (for everything except cutting tails, anyway) despite having the least finesse.

It's a lot of fun so far but it feels easier than before. Maybe it's because so far I've done just missions in the storyline rather than in the gathering hall.

The quests for the gathering hall aren't separate anymore. You're just automatically forced to play baby mode, either because you play solo and the game forces solo difficulty where everything you do staggers the monster and it dies in a couple minutes, or because you have four hunters. There's no way to fight against multiplayer-scaled monsters solo. And as someone who went from soloing level 140 guild quests to this, that's really disappointing.

The thing is that theres no reason to play it instead of terraria, its an inferior product in almost every way.

What if I want to play as a pink-feathered girly avian and wear a female Santa suit with a short skirt, hmm? And that A.V.I.A.N. AI mod is adorable.

(In all seriousness, Starbound was actually more interesting for me during the phase of the game when I was still finding new types of towns and dungeons. Finding huge underwater cities, bazaars, castles, airships, Aztec-like temples, and so on was thrilling. I find the actual gameplay of both Starbound and Terraria to be rather dull anyway, but Starbound at least fulfilled that sense of wonder. Of course, once you've seen all the templates, there's not much more to the game.)

Lots of the areas are basically a series of small to medium-sized rooms of sorts. For example, Cap Kingdom has the (largely empty) starting hills area, then the town, then the tower, then the top of the tower. Cascade Kingdom has "rooms" of sorts that are separated by bridges, narrow passageways, or the map's elevation levels. Sand Kingdom may be completely open, but the desert is mostly just a few scattered objects, with the areas of interest (the town, the oasis, the toxic area) being rather small and self-contained, and then all the ruins operate in a pretty linear and room-based fashion.

The most truly open area of the game is the Metro Kingdom, and it's no surprise that people love it, with the ability to freestyle from basically anywhere up to tops of the buildings, but the actual area of the city isn't all that big. Lost Kingdom is fairly open as well, but the design doesn't encourage freestyling in the same way, and it's a small kingdom. On the opposite extreme, Bowser's Castle is huge, but almost entirely linear, save for some exploring around the edges of each planet--sorry, not planet, just a bunch of castle pieces floating in space that requires you to travel there with a special glowing yellow travel system.

I'm confused by the math involved here, too. They're saying that if you start using cannabis at a young age, your chance of a psychotic experience by 18 is 3.2% higher than non-users, and that if you start at a later age, the chance of a psychotic experience by 18 is 11.9% higher.

Now, last I checked, "threefold" means "200% higher". So either these are additive increases (you're going from a 6% chance to an 18% chance, hence "11.9% higher") or the claim makes no sense at all. But they don't actually state what the "base" chance or control group's chance of having a psychotic experience is. One article I found said 17.6 per 10000 or 0.176%, but that might have been referring specifically to the first psychotic episode of someone with schizophrenia. Either way, I can't see that it would be possible for almost 20% of people who smoke pot before 18 to have psychotic episodes and it not be seen as a bigger crisis...

Riki isn't quite a "beast". He's a decent healer, but he can only tank for Melia and Heat Haze Dunban or something like that because he doesn't do much direct damage. His status effects are just DoTs, and unlike Melia's ice and earth elementals, they don't do a shitton of damage. He's just sort of a jack of all trades. His skill trees also suck other than the CDR skills that you should give to everyone.

The best characters are first and foremost Dunban (who is pretty OP between Serene Heart, Heat Haze, and Jaws of Death letting him both blow through easy encounters and adapt to tough ones, though you wouldn't set all of these at once normally), then Reyn, then Shulk (with lategame optional Monado art). Reyn's main strengths are for big lockdowns and cheesy revival aura strats, though, so if you're not doing those he's not as necessary. Melia and the seventh party member to join are both great as well, but they don't show up in the "absolute lowest level possible" sort of strats like Reyn and Dunban do (though Melia can still be very cheesy between Shadow Stitch and landing Summon Earth's discharge in a chain attack with 100% Poison Plus).

his abilities can't target specific foes and the better ones take FOREVER to charge. he has some decent setups at some points in the game, like combining Offering with Tempest once you get to the Sealed Cave.

IIRC, the biggest problem with Swdtech is simply that it ignores the equipped weapon's battle power. Magic moves scale well into lategame because the scaling with magic stat on everything is crazy good, but vigor-based moves are garbage lategame without scaling with your weapon. That's why Jump builds, Offering, etc. are great but Autocrossbow, Drill, Chainsaw, and Swdtech don't hold up at all.

Dispatch is still fairly good compared to what your mages have to offer early game (and is less of a pain than putting in the effort to consistently get 7-flush on Setzer), so don't be afraid to use Cyan for a while. He starts to fall off only around the time you have access to magic-boosting espers and tier 2 and 2.5 spells.

They made it so it's basically just a spell with a long cast time. You can control other characters while he charges it.
I've played various mods that fix for SNES, such as just changing the techs around so the ability is stronger/has more utility (with level 8 being Quick to let you use any two of the previous levels with no downside.)

2. If you accidentally fuck up a Blitz, you can back out of it and retry without wasting Sabin's turn.

I know for certain this is the case in the SNES version (you aren't locked into using Blitz at all until you finalize the command with the second A press, and B cancels just like it would when casting other abilities).

Either invest in getting all of gau's good rages early on or ignore him entirely. There's no in between.

I mean, if you're on SNES at least, the rages that are good early on are garbage later. Stray Cat sucks until you get Merit Award and Offering for Fixed Dice/Tempest abuse, and the stuff that is really crazy early (like Marshall, Chickenlip, and stuff that casts Stop before you actually get the magic and bosses become immune) falls off really hard. On the other hand, you can pick up Nightshade, Magic Urn or Wooly at any point and it's still a free win or invincibility mode, and it's not any easier or harder to get them endgame if you've been ignoring Gau.

On future versions where they fixed everything truly broken about Gau like Merit Award and Nightshade/Doom Drgn, I don't really see any appeal to him at all outside of maybe cheesing some early bosses.

(If you're wondering, TC, Nightshade originally used an ability called Charm that made an enemy fight for you for the rest of the battle. No immunity existed whatsoever--the only limitation was that you can only charm one enemy at once per user and it ends if the user dies. It worked on literally everything including every boss (though it could target the wrong thing). Doom Drgn used N. Cross, which was the same deal except for using Freeze, essentially a ridiculously long version of Stop--again, no immunity existed.)

I still dont know what Mace Windus purpose was, other than being the token black guy on the Jedi council.

Mace was the strongarm enforcer archetype who had to be an obstacle to Anakin's desire for a seat in the council since Yoda wouldn't create enough friction.

He also sort of embodied the flaws in the Jedi order, being all about order and justice without fully understanding human emotion (which might have led him to recognize that Anakin should have had someone to counsel him before going to arrest his friend Palpatine). Or maybe his lack of emotion was just from bad directing, dunno.
