@insectecutor: I get the feeling they rarely read the comments or just forget things that are said in them. It took them a long time use the standing in the corner strat on the second level boss.
I've been shouting in the comments the last couple of videos that they can jump the robot baseball slide...since it is shown in the demo reel of the video when they start.
I know crazy things happen in this game, but they should really be able to get to the water level without using a continue at this point. There are some real paint points for them that they don't have completely down yet (Noimon helicopter) and parts where they just seem to completely panic in the quest for weapons (dirt bikes and monkeys). They'll need those continues to get that hallway down too. They can't just gun through it like they do on level 2.
Normally Alex is a relaxing episode but some of the decisions here boggle the mind. Putting Zhang in overwatch when there was one guy left that had a shot on him and vice versa? The alien isn't going to move if he already has a shot on you, you gave him a free hit.
Also, at the end, he had a number of shots that he could have given to his squaddies, instead he just chose to end it with the plasma launcher.
Uh, guys, if you were watching the intro demo you would have noticed that you can just jump the baseball slide from the first robot.
Dan was just off this episode..."he swoops four times right?" while moving all the way to the right of the screen while Vinny is on the left.
Not sure about the switch to Ray, he's definitely weaker than Sheena. Ray seems only better for Noiman just because Vinny doesn't have to worry on the helecopter bit but if he had Sheena and her homing laser it'd be the same thing.
And Vinny said he wasn't feeling it at the start of this episode? Whatever he was feeling, he needs to bottle that shit, they'll be done in no time.
Dan seems to have some real issues reading the patterns of that jumping stomp boss that he just has to work out. The key to the ostrich like thing is stay closeish.
I can't be the only one who had to rewind the death multiple times. Not to see the death itself again, but to carefully study everyone's faces.
Abby goes from high anticipation, disappointment to pure raging joy in a matter of seconds. It's one of the most amazing Giant Bomb moments ever. While I think the way Jan's death played out was funnier in terms of the steps (waking up, walking through Ben's piss etc. as well as the fact it was the first), this one was three episodes in the making and the release was incredible.
I'm really not sure we will get anything that amazing in this series again, but damn I can't wait to see them try.
