Pacific Rim was amazing. I can see the anime influence, but stripping out most of the hokey melodrama, teenage heroes, terrible female characters and J Rock meant it kept the good stuff about those shows.
John Boyega was pretty good in Star Wars, and great in Attack the Block, so that's good news right? No Del Toro is a bit worrying though I suppose.
I watched Akira a ton when I was a teenager, and although it was awesome and everything, it felt borderline nonsensical, like huge chunks of the story were missing. Nausicaa feels like a more complete adaptation. Having not read the manga of either I can't say if that's true or not, but it certainly feels that way.
@figurehead00: I think he was more upset that the money could've been spent making something fresh and new rather than a nearly 20 year old game. He was super grumpy about it though.
I really enjoyed Wonderboy in Monsterworld. Does that predate Super Metroid? Not enough love for that game. SotN obviously., and I think Arkham counts. More recently I've been playing Valdis Story, which is pretty great.
Use lightning. Ignore the small spiders. Never spam R1 more than twice and keep moving at all times. Rom telegraphs his attacks very clearly. If he looks up he's about to AoE or shoot magic up from the ground. Get the hell away from him.
Most importantly, stop blaming the game for your frustration. Have some patience or summon some help if the fight is causing you that much grief.
I think he's entitled to blame the game. This boss fight kind of sucks. I think it's telling that half the people here are saying 'kill the little spiders' and the other half are saying to ignore them. It's because there's an element of luck involved in it. I did 15 runs where the small spiders were encircling Rom, and being super aggressive when I got in close, then one run where they all stayed to one side of him, letting me get in round the other side. It's really hard to tell where those missiles are coming in from too.
