All said and done, it looks like they've got a pretty decent strategy going, considering their health/ammo situation. I'm still rooting for you, team BR! Just... rooting for you to find one of these infinite ammo weapons everyone's been talking about, too.

Can you not lock on to scary lady, or is brad just not thinking of these things? 
 
Oh, and methinks the infinite SMG would have done a lot of good there.

Yeah there's no lock-on with the wallcrawlers. Also they only take damage when they're visible, not when they're cloaked. It's definitely weird to get used to them but once you get the pattern down it's amazingly easy, just takes forever. Even with the SMG it takes a long time, so watching them whittle its health down with just the 9mm pistol is going to be nuts.
 
People are being unnecessarily harsh on Brad. This part isn't all that easy if you don't know the wallcrawler's pattern. It's especially difficult when, on top of not knowing the pattern, you're low on SMG ammo and low on health, which causes York to walk slow as shit. And, on top of all of that, you have to fight against the game's extremely clunky combat controls. All of this in a really tight corridor.

That was some tense stuff right there, the likes of which we haven't seen since some of the early boss fights in the P4 ER - it's a fun watch in a different way to the funny and quirky storyline stuff.
 
Also, I can't fault Brad for anything with that wall/ceiling-crawler in any way - it's tough stuff when BR have no health or ammo compared to VJ who are swimming in it and have too much to hold onto.  It's quite cool seeing them hone their tactics over time in this episode.

Yep, Drew was playing, but just the second half of the video. The first half is all Brad and he's playing even better than Drew. At least i think he is, or maybe i just didn't understand them right, but i am pretty sure, that they say, that Brad is playing at the begining.:D And if he is you can all see, that he's really good at it.:D 
Yep, now i'm sure.:D Watch it and see the amazing Brad, the Brad that you have never seen before!:D:D:D

Hopefully they'll find a good strategy for the wall-crawler fight, because they'll have to fight multiple ones in a row later.
 
My best luck with them has been with the infinite wrench, but I assume other melee weapons would work just as well, as long as they don't break. What they should be doing is luring the monster towards them, then run under it, forcing it to glow red and attack. If you keep running while it does this, you should be able to avoid the attack, then do a quick 180 degree turn, then hit the monster lady with a few bullets or a melee weapon until it turns invisible again. Repeat the process until it falls to the ground, then mash the B button to dodge the fireball. Then do it all over again. Seriously, it takes forever with weak weapons, and even the infinite SMG doesn't help much. Worst part of the game, I agree.

@larryrules138:
I agree. When I did this part for the first time it took me 4 tries. Granted I had health kits (i bought from the hospital) and the special gun, but that didn't make it easier at all. The Wall crawlers are much easier with the shotgun (they die faster as that does more damage).  
 
That being said Im kind of dumb I think. I never thought to hold my breath on these to position myself (I just run back and forth in the hallways) so they figured that out over me, which does give them a good advantage. Unfortunately this fight will still take forever. After they finish it though, they should get the shotgun soon so I think they should be good after that. 
 
I have nothing harsh to say to brad on this one. This is a tough fight even if your prepared. Granted he made it harder by not having kits or the unlimited gun but they also figured out the hold your breath works on it so that will help them beat this fight next time they try. Its just gonna take awhile.

I respect these guys for not going and reading up on all this stuff you're throwing at them in the comments, if they knew what they were doing it just wouldn't be the same endurance run.  There were times in the P4 endurance run where I wondered if they'd ever get through but they did it, they were pretty quick to pick up a valid strategy for that boss so I'm sure they'll get through.
 
It really is interesting watching both ERs when they're not 'cross-pollenating' as it was put - yeah they could really use some of the info that VJ have, but then we'd just be watching the exact same stuff twice over.  Plus I kinda hope these guys don't find that inf SMG so that right at the end VJ will be "but that inf SMG was awesome" and BR will be gutted :P

@RVonE: yea bye-bye mission knife.  I've also noticed how conservative Vinny is when playing games.  Ironically, though, Brad has more cashola.   
 
You should probably invest in some new equipment, brad. 
 
I also think some upgrades to York's inventory may exist, but I haven't played the game, so...

Oh my god, this become an epic example of pulling a Brad... Wasting all your ammo and then saving right before the new enemy type or boss is the classic survivor horror nightmare. Valiant effort with the gold club though.

Ryan: "Little S-turn messin' you guys up, for real." 

 And that wall-crawler felt like an old school boss fight even though it didn't appear to be an actual boss monster, just a new enemy. Die a couple times while you figure out its patterns and test your optimal responses, then go to town. It was rough watching them die, but man did it make me nostalgic in a good way.

But yeah, good work on learning how to hold your breath, break boxes, and use items. Next time will hopefully bring the importance of sleeping to full health and eating at the diner to keep your hunger at bay.

I can't fault Brad for his play in this episode. They learned pretty much everything they need to know about the crawler's patterns, except that you can avoid the red glowy attack by running past her, giving you a larger window to deal damage than the one before her attack (and being safer, too). They utilized a lot of resources and weapons, too.

Do these guys play video games at all?? I mean come on you run a video game website and review video games in general so how can you be this awfull?? They cant figure out how to drop items?? They dont use melee weapons on crates? They have barely checked out any of the side quests so they won't earn any of the cool or helpfull shit you get from them! Oh and yea btw, you can buy med kits and ammo and other usefull stuff from diff ppl and places in town!!  This game is not that hard! If they keep this up I have to wonder if they will get all the way through.  So go ahead and hate on me,  I know that it's coming anyway! Anytime anyone says any kind of  positive thing about this game or are negative about how the guys are doing we get slammed.
