DMC1 Scorpion Boss

[sj33]

In 3 years, I have never passed the fire scorpion boss thing on level 3.

I tried it again today, still can bearly hurt it.

What the heck are you supposed to even do on it?

[MonkeyJuggleDX]

You mean the one that chases you down the corridor? Yeah I got pissed off and haven't played it in ages. Probably never will actually.

[sj33]

I beat the bugger yesterday lol, I think this is surely a game that the player gets used to, similar to Lost Planet. Still finding the game nails mind.

[Chadruharazzeb]

How did you do on the next level? I found Nero Angelo a total pain until the second run through the game.

[sj33]

Just died on him.

I'm struggling with this game. I'm surely not this **** at games? Can't say I'm enjoying this, and I really want to.

[Crisp_Rapper]

this game is crazy hard... i struggled with practically all the bosses, especially the slug train who is approriately named 'nightmare'. ****ing hell i still have bad dreams about that thing!



once i'd gotten through a first time though there was no stopping me (until dante must die mode).

[sj33]

People found Lost Planet hard - I never had much trouble with that. But this is something else.

I really think this may be the first game I'll have to resort to Easy Mode on.

[Chadruharazzeb]

It's a great game, don't give up on it just yet! First time through is bound to be tricky, you're not familiar with the game, the enemies, the map, plus you'll have no moves or weapons and your life bar will be miniscule.

All adds up to a nice challenge (until you decide to have a go at Dante Must Die, that is)

[Chadruharazzeb]

Oh yeah, don't bother with Easy Auto. It's awful and you can't carry your moves across onto Normal mode.

[Crisp_Rapper]

don't do it! you'll kick yourself as you breeze through in no time... this is a game that requires frustration to get the best of it. go give saur a shout to see if he can't help you get stuff down.

[sj33]

What's all the more frustrating is that once I've used up all my yellow orbs on Nelo Angelo, I have to start the level over again and beat the first boss on the level over again.

Grr.

EDIT - Which I'm finding easy as hell now. Hmm.

[Crisp_Rapper]

...it's slowly falling into place... you won't be able to 'see' the matrix just yet though so stick with it.

[sj33]

BEAT THE BUGGER!

I'll say one thing, Capcom are really good at these learning games. With Lost Planet, every boss felt impossible hard at first, but you find your getting the health lower and lower with every go, and it's same thing here.

Mind you, another boss where I'm walking away with all my Yellow Orbs and Vital Star used up. Trying to save up for some new moves too =/

[Crisp_Rapper]

i'm sure there's a room in one of the earlier levels (sort of semi circular courtyard with broken walkways and a fountain in) that you can repeatedly visit and pwn for orbs... still, this is years ago when i first played it so don't shout if i'm wrong.

[sj33]

I'll check that out if I manage to get back there!

This game makes me feel really, really **** at games... was only meant to be playing this as a stopgap until my US Okami arrives.
