Random Video Game Crap

I guess I was thinking about the rails segment, but you don't actually have to stay on them.

I don't know how anyone gets past the big "i hear you" monsters quickly though. Guess I'll have to watch and find out.
With the right speedrunning techniques, you can easily dodge the Tentacles. They strike fast, but turn relatively slowly. Plus, if you have high enough health and suit power, you can tank a hit or two and still stay alive.
 
Putting a download speed cap on my steam downloads has caused them all to download significantly faster.

... how the hell does that work?

If you are running into the same thing I had, my router's CPU couldn't keep up with all the routing and it would keep resetting/stuttering once my total traffic exceeded some amount. Better to average a solid X/sec than peak at 2X/sec and die to 0/sec then peak again, etc.

That's exactly what was happening. It would jump to super high, then die to 0, then stutter around and go back up.
 
I've been hearing pretty good things about Valiant Hearts. Great art style, moving story, interesting puzzles and such, all set in WWI Europe.

Then I found out it needs UPlay.

So much for that.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha... a screenshot from Way of the Samurai 4:




(The explanation is her name is actually Melinda de Cameron, but in being translated into Japanese and back again, de Cameron became Decameron, deka is japanese slang for "really big" - ie, Mega, and meron is melon. Thus, Melinda de Cameron becomes Melinda Megamelons)
 
That is FAR from the weirdest thing in Way of the Samurai 4. The weirdest is that you can break into a mansion to sleep with a 14-year old ambassador to Japan and then get her doll in thanks from her. That it happens isn't weird... that is wasn't cut for the international version IS.
 
You never noticed her legs are twice as long as they should be? Her head being rather small is understandable to miss, what with the big hair.
Considering I've never played the game and only seen video, no, I hadn't really noticed. Most images of her I'd seen weren't full-body shots or were posed in a way that forced perspective to make her look more normal.
 
Most of the videos I've seen have had so much flailing and action that it's hard to tell if they're her actual proportions or just lens distortion.

I've played through Bayonetta twice and you can really only tell in certain cutscenes.
Really? I've played through it a few times as well, and it always seems to be pretty noticable. Especially because of the poses she does, any time she lifts her knee, you can see just how unnaturally far it juts out because of how long her upper leg is.
