I considered just copy and pasting my opening from My Cinema over to here today, but resolved against it because that would probably turn out to be more work anyway. So it's like this, I'm posting a little late today and need to play catch up somewhere with My Cinema because I've been kind of distracted today and yesterday. First of all, the theme for My Cinema this week is "Dystopias" and our first post is for V for Vendetta! So head over and check that out!
Secondly, I've been a little put off my game because FNaF World launched last week and the GTLive stream replay is on youtube now, so I'm kind of binging GTLive for that and Pony Island.
A side note? Sure, Blogger allowed me to sign up for AdSense finally! So there'll be ads on the side and bottom of my blog in the near future.
Most notably though, I'm kind of having some trouble with this, when I first said my theme was going to be over-powered PvE setups in video games, it sounded simple, heck, I immediately came up with chameleon armor and the cyclone mask! But now...nothing. Except Spiderman. Begin!
TITLE: Spiderman (Spiderman 64 as it is sometimes called)
So, since yesterday we were on the subject of clothes, I figured why not look at another character whose game becomes a breeze based on the clothes he's wearing. Then I thought, well, if we're gonna cover something like that, why not cover someone with a stealth suit? Boom, Spiderman was born.
Now I'm sure we could discuss Metal Gear Solid all day on the subject of stealth clothes, but...we can't, because I never unlocked the stealth suit in Metal Gear Solid 2...on the other hand, I have unlocked the Spiderman Unlimited and Symbiote Spidey costumes in Spiderman (and I cheated to obtain Universe Spidey or whatever, didn't play it much though).
The general idea is that as you play through the game you unlock alternate costumes for Spiderman based on your performance. The first two costumes you unlock don't actually impact the game though, they just sort of change your appearance. On the other hand, after completing the game for the first time, you obtain the Symbiote Suit, which allows Spiderman to spin infinite webs. I don't remember how bad web management was, but I do remember that it was helpful. I also remember booting the game up the other night and having some trouble managing my webs because I love to pull thugs toward me and then web-ball them away. So, with the Symbiote suit, you have infinite webbing to do whatever you want, including rapidly incasing yourself in the web dome, releasing it, and immediately reusing the ability.
This actually wasn't as game breaking as the next suit on the line though (in my opinion), the Spiderman Unlimited costume. This costume grants Spiderman the ability to stealth, simply walking through most minor portions of the game. You still have to fight bosses and win races, but you can walk past every normal meathead, even wail on them without repercussion. I'll grant you, these don't quite touch the Captain Universe Spiderman which offers unlimited webbing, double damage, and invincibility, but I never beat the game in Hard Mode (darn you Carnage Octopus!)
Granted, these costumes aren't really "overpowered" since you have to legitimately earn them by beating the game first...but you can just beat the game twice in Kid Mode and have the second...maybe third...most powerful suit in the game. I also, sadly, never obtained all of the comic books, so I never picked up Spiderman 2099, but I think I would prefer the abilities of the others anyway.
