    I found Armored core to be absolutely amazing. And I'm not talking about the kick ass fast paced action or a somewhat good narrative or even the amazing boss fights. What I found to be absolutely impeccable is how you could change your equipment based on what it is you wish to fight. Encounters could easily go from unbeatable to downright child's play when you equip yourself with the right weapons and configuration.

      Every AC boss just got killed in like 2 barrages, my average boss fight time was like 20 seconds against AC enemies. Never had to change gear types, just kept upgrading to whatever the biggest, hardest rockets were.
      First or second tried every boss EXCEPT Snail in the second to last mission of one of the runs where he gets an upgraded shielded mech you fought earlier. That fight was SUUUUUUCH a difficulty jump. Went from beating every boss in seconds to getting beat like 50+ times. And the FINAL boss took me 6 tries but I loved the last last boss.
      My favorite thing by far was the changes to the campaign. Slight little changes snowball bigger and bigger.

    So happy to hear that Lies of P bosses were actually tough for regular Soulsborne players. That was basically my 1st one completed after starting and stopping Bloodborne after a few hours. Looking forward to going back and playing the other games. I didn't fight Nameless Puppet until my 2nd and 3rd playthroughs. Not sure if that makes him easier or not, but his 1st phase is fairly harmless after a while. 2nd phase though is bonkers. You can dodge the dash most of the time, but then those red blade spear attacks almost always connected, and the multi-hit strings you just had to try to parry at least half of them to survive and get a heal off.
    Even using Puppet String to get in close and up and above him for decent hit usually didn't work because of how fast he's moving and attacking.

      Could get some nice charged attacks in, stagger, and then get a free charged attack in before doing a Fatal.

    Vader was really annoying in how his fights were phased and reaching the end point of one phase could negate the damage you were doing because of the cutscene to transition, which also removed your lock on with him.

    The IBIS fight made me feel like I had been just getting lucky the entire game. I could not fathom at how ineffective I was against it. When I beat it, it had like 1 percent HP left and needed one more hit of anything and I had like 80 percent and one heal left. Despite this, I used up my heal, survived with 10 percent and barely beat it. Easily hardest boss of the year for me.

    But then I fought the optional super final boss. I could barely take a third of the health down with a standard gameplan. I had to start treating it like an average FromSoftware game perfect blocking, percise dodges, and utilizing my whole kit.

      You should go to dark souls 3 next. Elden ring is more recent but it is far longer and the open world becomes a game of constantly scanning around cliffs for a cave entrance. 1 and 2 are somewhat clunky and jarring hitboxes but good. DS3 imo is the pinnacle of the entire genre but LOP is definitely honorary fromsoft.

  • @dragonlordjonerc

    Spawn of Ogodo in Jedi Survivor was way harder. Sure, it took me like 20+ tries to beat Vader (and my game crashed before I could save so I had to beat him again), but I have done just as many attempts at the Spawn of Ogodo and never killed it.

      I did beat him on GM, took me more tries than I care to admit. But that’s still not the hardest boss fight. there is a duel boss of both the Spawn of Oggdo and Oggdo Bogdo from the original game. This one was significantly easier though, not because I got better, just because I went “fuck this” turned it to the lowest difficulty and crushed them. You have no idea how satisfying it was when you can take them both out in like 6 to 10 hits, with no difficulty whatsoever so ever.

    Not technically a boss fight but more of a level, but in BG3 the Iron Throne sequence was super super hard. As someone who is entirely new to turn-based combat, even on the easiest difficulty (which gives your more turns to get everything done) it's still quite difficult. Takes a lot of practice runs and planning. And I was simply NOT going to settle for anything less than saving ALL the Gondians, saving Omeluum, saving the Duke (of course) and getting the vault key. I didn't get the tadpole but even without getting the tadpole just doing all the things I mentioned it took me many many hours of practice runs and planning.

      I had my NPC's planned and who went where, and even used a cheat to bring 6 characters instead of 4, and even I was save scrubbing like mad. First few times was because I didnt notice the girl in the chair instead of a cage, took me forever to see her and go "OH". Then there were times the NPCs were just retards and ran past the ladder. And for some reason, which was my biggest issue, the South area (straight from the front of the ladder) was infinitely spawning TONS and TONS of mobs. Like 2 every turn, sometimes 4 if 2 spawned in the flooded hall next to it. Trying to open the cage, free the girl, and get out and shut the door before there was like 4-6 mobs rushing it was a nightmare. I spent nearly 2 hours trying to save them all, with a cheat to use 2 extra people on!

      If you’re appropriately leveled and don’t have a bad build (either actually bad or bad against Annihilation) I don’t think he’s too difficult. Solid final fight for sure.
      But if you’re a melee or close quarters or summoner or anything like that… well you’re screwed lol. Literally need to rebuild your whole setup.
      Like hunter class with long range? You’re golden. Summoner clsss with a shotgun? Probably need completely new weapons, rings and play style.

I talked the big guy into joining me, had Hope and off we went. When I defeated him I stared at the screen silently for a few minutes with my heart pounding and hands shaking, immediately saved, got out and returned to camp with just my Durge. I had exactly 5hp, limped their Dragonborn ass to Withers and payed for my whole squad to be revived.

      This is true but a few it's bosses were just frustrating. They would break rules (like resetting your powers just so you don't power through) and turning them into obnoxious heat sinks which makes your powers useless against them. I beat Kraven on my second try, I think, but I was just frustrated and annoyed the whole time. Lizard was great on hard, though. Very satisfying.

    Love your videos, but I have a humble request regarding spoilers:
    I think it would be best to include ONLY the titles of games in spoiler warnings at the beginning of every video. I have had a number of spoilers from Gameranx before, and it makes me avoid watching your channel.
    I appreciate that you included a spoiler warning this time, but you still included the names of secret bosses. For example, I had no idea Darth Vader would be a boss in jedi survivor until this spoiler warning spoiled it. Same thing happened to me before I played fallen order, and it really killed the moment.
    I also appreciate having the chapters here so that I can still watch the channel and just skip past the games I don't want spoilers for, but PLEASE just include the TITLES ONLY in your warnings/chapters. I really don't want to have to stop watching Gameranx because of spoilers.
    Thank you, guys, and keep up the great content!

    I remember re-trying Annihilation over and over, and I failed each and every time. So I deleted my character. I was playing solo.
    Then I realized I started the game on medium (2) difficulty (like any other game) instead of normal (1).
    By the the time I got to him on normal (1) difficulty, he was way less resistant and I managed to beat him in like 10~12 tries.
    He has sound queues and visual warnings of his attacks (that now don't do as much damage; and you also do more), so he is very much beatable.
    Apparently, this game was meant to be start at lvl1, and then lvl2 and so on, in order for you to properly build up gear up and acquire certain amount of stats, so that the game can be playable. As for difficulties (3) and (4), goes, aside the stats and upgraded weapons and gear, you'll also have to have a proper build.

    Annihilation gave me SO much grief for so long- I must have died like a dozen times in a row, sometimes in less than 30 seconds because his moves just weren't clicking with me. The form-switching thing was just ridiculous, because he'd always switch mid-move, and then complete the move when he switched back. But then I made a couple of minor tweaks to my build, rolled an attempt where his RNG meant he barely used his most BS attacks, and my dodge timings just clicked, and I was able to take him down. He's still a bastard, and from what I hear he used to be even WORSE before a patch (this is why I never play games when they're brand new).
