Out of everything I have EVER heard about Terraria... This has to be the most terrible thing I have ever heard about Terraria.
It truely breaks a game when you realise that strategy is pointless.
Terraria is horrible... It truely is. Is terraria Bad? Who knows... but Wow... that is just a game destroying statement.
The Eater of Worlds is probably the easiest boss in the game, and the proper weapons will annihilate it. Try fighting Skeletron or the hard mode bosses without strategy.

Other Games / Re: XCOM: Enemy Unknown (New by Firaxis)
« on: May 27, 2012, 01:48:48 am »This trope applies nicely (read the Purist section).Honestly, the guy in one of the interviews made the most important point: The original is still out there. If someone is bothered that much by the changes, it isn't as if the first game isn't available for a very low price. I can respect that they're making changes, because if we're going to be honest, the original was a flawed game. Just because it was great doesn't mean it was perfect, unless you've got cokebottle-thick rose-tinted glasses on. I can very easily see myself liking Enemy Unknown for largely different reasons and still playing both. Heck, either a straight remake with bugfixes and pretty things or a genuine, honest reinterpretation would be a Good Thing. Because the original is still right there, untouched.
And there isn't REALLY point in remaking original with better graphics and better interface. People would just complain about not getting new XCOM game instead of complaining about not getting game identical to original XCOM.
Exactly, they are going to have angry fans regardless of what they do with something like this, so they might as well try doing a different take on it. There are reasonable complaints that can be made, but (IMO, obviously) "it isn't identical to how it used to be" isn't a particularly valid or helpful one.

I remember that autopsies and the like took a very long time and tied up precious weapons/armor research. Being able to instantly find the location of an enemy base or something sounds like it would be very useful.

I always found the EoW easy and quick to farm. iCthulhu always gave me grief, and I only ever beat Skeletron once.
Currently digging through an underground jungle, hoping to get enough supplies in this trip for all of those jungle-themed items (especially the vine whip thing).

Man, I've been wanting to try Super Robot Wars, but I can't understand a character of that crazy moon language* they get released in. I'll have to check that site out.

67?! Fahrenheit?! Good lord, I'd hate to see your power bill
But, 67, 70, 80? Only somewhat difference when it's nearing 100 outside. AC still on 24/7 to keep people from keeling over from heat.

There could also be multiple, branching paths of research, like there was in the first game but expanded (ie: do you continue down weapon paths, focus on psionics, improve you soldiers' survivability, etc). Making blanket statements about a game that has not even been demoed and has maybe an hour of total footage released so far seems pretty stupid illogical to me.

The N64 also had Aidyn Chronicles: The First Mage - a game which I'm tempted to LP, if I didn't have another game going already.
Other than that...I dunno

Has anyone had luck with the Guards? I'm supposed to have a 50% chance to avoid paying protection money, yet I've been forced to pay 6 times so far.
Also, Tehsid's latest and greatest combat report. I dunno if all Rage fighters are like this, but jeez.

I'm having fun building my base under a mountain, using natural walls and contours as much as possible. The NPCs and myself still have proper rooms of course, except for the Dryad, who gets a grassy room. Now that Skeletron has been beaten, I've been harvesting dungeon brick which will form a solid shell around the base as a defensive measure. So far I have the Guide, the Merchant, the Demolitionist, the Dryad, the Nurse, the Arms Dealer, and the Mechanic. For some reason, the Nurse's room keeps getting co-opted by other NPCs until I can get a home for them built - for a while, she, the Arms Dealer, and the Mechanic were all living in the same room.

Lucky jerk. My fighters always get bumped up right before they can hit the top slot
