Are we thinking of the same droidikas? The rolling ones with personal shields and rapid-fire blasters? My impression was that short of brute-force TKing them a Jedi had little to no counter against destroyer droids.

All they'd have to do is parry or avoid their shots long enough to get behind them, then saber them until the shield dropped. They turn ridiculously slow when deployed.

(As evidence, star wars battlefront 1, where I could take a missile launcher clone or emp jetpack clone, and basically dodge/roll behind them, and once behind them they were fucked - if they un deployed the shield dropped. If they didn't I would knock it down, and they couldn't turn as fast as I could circle-strafe)

From what I remember, in the movies it was implied that you either couldn't sword their shields or that they would turn to you faster than you can do that. And games have to be balanced, you know.

Plus, as proven by the rest of the movies, deflecting shots from even the basic battle droids was never a sure thing. Trying to get close to one or more of these would be an insane risk. Far better to fall back and try to ambush the droid while the shield is down.

I'm looking at my wishlist right now (keep trying if you can't get it right away), and there is a LOT on sale. Pretty good sales, too ._.

Amberly grimaced at the burning sensation of poison in her veins, but kept pushing forward.

(12,9), examine console(s).

The ratman gave a slightly cheeky grin.

Ah, perfect. Hopefully there will be at least some modding once it's released, but all in all it sounds like something to pick up once the holidays are over.

I just discovered a potentially amazing combination.

Start as Lilith, get the Ludovico Technique. The LT is already pretty amazing on its own, yes, but thanks to Lilith's unique familiar, you get a controllable tear AND the shots from her familiar. At the same time.

It's still early in this run, so anything can happen, but there is much potential for awesome right now.

Hold I guess.

Apparently I can't play blue baby without every item being mind-bogglingly shit. I want the D6, game! I want to be able to beat Isaac, not have to deal with receiving bloody useless upgrades for my bombs time and time again.

The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth

Bomb upgrades, while pretty poor in general, are not useless. Imagine getting nothing but HP-up items and items that restore red hearts (Yum Heart, Placenta, the vampire items) as Blue Baby >.>
