I tried my damndest to get some kind of resolution, but nobody wanted to help me with it because of the ridiculous "contract" Hertz jams in front of you. So I was told I had a car that was covered by my insurance and all I had to do was pay for any gas I didn't replace in the tank, and then I get charged for over two weeks' worth of rental before I finally figure out State Farm's not covering me. (I also dropped State Farm for that, since they were the ones who initially told me I was covered.) --- Video Game Music Contest 12 winner: Ys 8 - Sunshine Coastline |

| azuarc 07/13/18 10:40:04 PM #61 | I haven't completely 100%'ed the game yet, but my take: 1 - Best level. Simple, compact, open to exploration, but reuses the same content for different effects with each time piece. 2 - Okay level. Full of flavor, and I can see how people would like this, but it had two stealth levels and a stage where you have to survive jumping from wires to other wires without falling (and without stopping). The Great Parade was one of the most irritating levels in the game. Only Train Rush gets a pass here from a gameplay perspective. 3 - I would like world 3, but the barriers are too limiting and I was really not digging the controls in a couple places. Some of the time pieces here took longer than I would have liked them to because I was either stuck on how to proceed or the game just wasn't cooperating. 4 - Does precisely one thing correctly -- it lets you freely explore the world without sending you back to the hub after each one, which means the world is essentially static instead of dependent on which act you entered. Beyond that, this world is an abomination. I hated this level when Blizzard put it in World of Warcraft, and I hate it even more here when it's a legitimate platformer. I was frustrated and roadblocked constantly. I was hit by invisible enemies. I was knocked off ledges and missed tightropes. I like that it has a lot to explore...but I generally don't like the areas it offers for you explore. Even the worldbuilding sections that are neat, like the windmill, are intensely frustrating to play because I don't have a sense of depth perception to make the air jumps required. And then there was the finale, which I swear took a solid two hours to navigate this entire deathtrap, including about 40 minutes just trying to get to the final plant because the game kept nuking me from orbit regardless of my strategy or approach. Each of the acts in 4 were so long and frustrating they should have awarded multiple time pieces. Can you tell I didn't like 4? --- Video Game Music Contest 12 winner: Ys 8 - Sunshine Coastline |

| azuarc 07/13/18 8:45:24 PM #211 | Camden posted... To understand why Undertaker was a problem, imagine if Mana Wyrm gained health as well when you cast a spell. Except Mana Wyrm starts with 3. Yes, I'm aware of what Undertaker was and why it was irritating. I just never saw the sorts of dramatic starts people bill as commonplace: FFDragon posted... A common UT Hunter start would be UT+Coin+UT on turn one. Then Leper Gnome+Leper Gnome on turn two, making 10/10 of stats on the board on T2, 6 of which was hitting face and at least 4 more unavoidable on the board in deathrattles. So you were at 20 health on Turn 2 and zero way to reclaim the board. I'm sure they drew all 4 of those cards by turn 2 so often. --- Video Game Music Contest 12 winner: Ys 8 - Sunshine Coastline |

| azuarc 07/13/18 6:13:06 PM #200 | ColZach posted... Only a true heathen loved Undertaker Hunter. I guess I'm a heathen. I was just still learning Hearthstone at the time, and this deck didn't honestly bother me at the time. There were much more frustrating things for me to deal with back then, considering I was working from an incomplete collection and incomplete knowledge (and an incomplete skillset.) I was much more bothered by anything druid could do involving Force of Nature and Savage Roar. --- Video Game Music Contest 12 winner: Ys 8 - Sunshine Coastline |

| azuarc 07/12/18 11:37:05 PM #39 | Well, I "beat" it. I only finished world 2, and never entered world 4, but I had access to the end and figured I'd take a peek. Dive-bombs make that fight so much easier. Anyway, I haven't finished world 1 because there's a stage that I apparently still don't have something I need, and I haven't finished world 3 because one of the rifts is behind the green flame, which won't go away no matter what I do. I also have no idea what the Mumble Badge does, but I bought it as soon as I could because I figured it'd be used in some key moment later, and I have yet to see it have any consequence whatsoever. --- Video Game Music Contest 12 winner: Ys 8 - Sunshine Coastline |

| azuarc 07/12/18 8:43:41 AM #28 | So apparently I didn't finish the first world last night. Silly me, I thought there were only four "stars," and then there turned out to be almost twice that number, and at least one was something I couldn't do. Played through parts of worlds 2 and 3. Lots of charm, but man, I do not care for world 3. Also, there's a few too many stealth levels for my liking. Sneak through the studio. Sneak through the train. Sneak through the haunted manor...one of the things I liked about Mafia Town was that I had this area to explore and I kept returning to it for different things. That was one of the facets I loved about Mario 64. I feel like that's been completely absent from the other worlds. --- Video Game Music Contest 12 winner: Ys 8 - Sunshine Coastline |

| azuarc 07/12/18 8:30:08 AM #155 | HeroDelTiempo17 posted... Paladin never made any sense to me as a control class, but In what way? Design or philosophically? Because paladins are a physical damage dealer, yes, but they're not a DPS class -- they tank and heal. And for design, they've always been a board-centric class, but that doesn't mean they can't be control. When you have a card like Spikeridged Steed, which adds 4/12 of taunt to the board, and were classically best known for their legendary 6/6 DS taunt and cards that reduced enemy minions to 1 health or 1 attack for easy clearing, how does that not fit into control strats? --- Video Game Music Contest 12 winner: Ys 8 - Sunshine Coastline |
