What are your favourite bosses in NMH3 so far?

Mine are Gold Joe and midori midorikawa, especially on higher difficulties.

Gold Joe feels incredibly tough, like you really do have to watch your step with him, especially on higher difficulties. I also love the music, arena, background and general atmosphere of the fight. Plus, gold Joe has one of my favourite alien designs and personalities, with his zesty behaviour lowkey making his fight incredibly fun as there’s so much personality in the voice clips and animations.

The attacks he has are also really fun and creative, with his criss cross sword attack where he slams down his swords in different diagonals being a pretty fun way to take advantage of his 4 armed nature and being really fun to maneuver and look at. I also really like his rock attack, where he sends the stones across the electric fence flying at each other, as the way it changes up into different patterns keeps you on your toes and makes your act quick (bonus points for having really fun sound and visual design).

But, the selling gimmick of his fight is the magnetic polarity, where you have to switch to different polarities by stepping on coloured blocks to counter his tricks and send him flying into the electric walls. I like this gimmick because it doesn’t feel too obtrusive, it adds a really fun layer to the fight that feels incredibly natural and tests your ability to react quickly to your surroundings. The first attack that uses this gimmick is the one where gold Joe pulls you in and slices you to bits as he spins his arms around. Not only is this attack really fun to look at, but it’s also really well designed, being not hard to get used to but being incredibly punishing if you mess up. He also gives you just the right amount of time to quickly switch polarities before forcing you into his blades if you get caught in the bubble, and it is so satisfying to send him flying into the electric fence when you counter this attack. His second attack that uses this gimmick is one I believe is only on higher difficulties (correct me if I’m wrong), where in the 3rd phase, he slams his swords into the ground and tries to propel you into the electric fence. I like this because it flips the battle on its head for just a moment as he uses the same tactic that you’ve been using on him and forces you to pay extra attention to the magnetic polarity gimmick. Plus it’s really damn unforgiving damage wise,but well designed as you have just enough time to react to the attack.

This guy’s especially fun on Carolina reaper, as all of his attacks are extremely punishing yet he feels like as if he’s not overtly unfair. He also mixes up his attacks real good in that difficulty and I honestly believe that Carolina reaper gold Joe is his canon strength. I love how his flamboyant personality compliments his genuine power.

As for midori midorikawa, I like her a lot for having an AMAZING boss theme, a really good introduction to the green full armour mode which feels like a nice change of pace but not too much of a departure from the usual gameplay, and for how powerful and tricky all her attacks are, which encourages you to take advantage of the full armour’s high movement speed and dodge. Her theming is amazing, with fire and wind powers that no other alien aside displays. She also has temporarily invincibility during most of her attacks, and that encourages the player to time their attacks in term, forcing them to not just mash through everything. Bonus points for being one of the very few bosses to actually have a level before the actual fight itself, which is a very distinctive and genuinely creepy first person horror section through the abandoned schoolhouse.

Anybody else disappointed by Neo Brazil in NMH3?

Now I have to say, I have had over 30 hours in nmh3 and I fucking love the game so far, it delivers on a LOT imho and the combat is great, bosses are really fun to fight (gold Joe and midori midorikawa are really fun in particular especially on Carolina reaper), the art style, asthetics and OST are AMAZING, and overall while a majority of the open world settings have large chunks of blocked off areas, with perfect world having a majority of it blocked off, you still get a really good feel of the worlds overall and feel like you’re exploring a lot of their most interesting elements.

However, this is not the case for Neo Brazil. The theming of it is great, with nice atmosphere and music, and a really fun futuristic city setting that isn’t really present anywhere else. I would really like it…

If it wasn’t for the fact that the futuristic city itself was all but completely blocked off, only being present as a background element while you’re stuck with a largely empty park with a few futuristic looking buildings in place. This is extremely disappointing to me, as Neo Brazil has amazing potential to be a great, jam packed over world setting. It’s like you’re stuck visiting the least interesting parts of Neo Brazil, while in call of battle and perfect world you’re actually exploring a good deal of the most interesting parts. They actually feel like complete settings despite being incomplete.

Heck, the futuristic city in the background looks extremely detailed for what you can see, and even the map itself shows that there’s a lot in the city despite it all being forbidden just from a top down view. I get the feeling that they intended for you to be able to visit the city at one point in development, but it ended up being cut midway throughout late in development. I would’ve loved to even go into the buildings in the designated matches and defense waves, like fighting in futuristic offices or factories. Maybe even do quests and such inside the buildings, and just drive around in this futuristic setting.

Neo Brazil clearly had so much more potential to be more than what it is.

Imagine if they made a “greatest breakout ever” esque webseries with the poop playtime setting and characters

That would be funny, with the monstrous beings engaging in all sorts of comical shenanigans

What music albums in particular do you think reflect the atmosphere and tone of the book?

For me, it’s Bleaklow by the stranger (aka Leyland Kirby).

Today is a sad day: my second pair of headphones is breaking

The audio still works fine, mind you, but I think I let it drop on the ground (never threw it though) so many times that the right side of the headband cover is staring to break today. I’m gonna try and get it fixed.

Who else here really likes intrigue and stuff and bleaklow?

I think they’re super cool experimental ambiences, and bleaklow is just peak heavy atmosphere

Some World war z fanart!

I’ve read the book in English class and I’ve finished reading it by now, and throughout reading the book I became so invested and intrigued by the characters that I decided to draw some of them!

Caine’s emotional meltdown during episode 8 is gently so fucking accurate to how autistic emotional meltdowns work and it is so fucking raw

Like, the way he feels as if he’s being concerned into a wall, the way he visibly is trying everything to contain his emotions until he lets it all burst out, the way he goes to SUCH EXTREME LENGTHS that he normally would never go, he way he’s so confused and distraught at everything around him, the way he he screams about all of his frustrations, it’s all so on point.

I haven’t had a full on autistic meltdown in so long and I don’t approve of what Caine did to the players at all but I can’t help but feel so bad for him and the _pain_ he’s going through. Hell when he yells “WHY DO YOU PEOPLE TORMENT ME!?” It feels like he isn’t even trying to just shake them or hit them with a loaded question, he’s genuinely begging for an answer to a problem that he feels as if he can’t understand.
