Re: Kid Icarus: Uprising - New poll somewhat!

It's been a while since I played either of the Sin and Punishment games, so getting and playing KI:U has been really REALLY fun. Unlike Sin and Punishment though, I love the multitude of weapons available to you to keep gaining through the game and fusing for cool bonuses. Gives me something to work for when I can make my favorite weapon, and try to get it to have all the cool special traits I want it to have. Even after a day of playing, i'm up to chapter 7 and already fiddling around with the higher difficulties for cooler weapons. My favorite weapons so far are the Ball Cannon (Pirate hat cannon machine), and the coolest bludgeoning weapon i've ever seen, the Skyscraper Club~.

I also love the characterization of pretty much everyone. Pit's a happy obnoxious little child who can't tell a good joke to save whatever wings he has, and Palutena has to be the most laid back god ever. Every time Pit finishes his missions on foot, I half expect him to come back to whatever base in Skyworld he and Palutena reside at, and just see Palutena vegging on a couch in sweatpants, drinking wine and watching Desperate Housewives.

Also the fact that all of them seem to acknowledge it's a video game.

It gets even better once "He Who Shall Not Be Named Because Of Spoiler" joins the banter.

I feel like I should make a Harry Potter joke or pun or whatever at this.

Dialogue is the best part of the game~

I love how this is one of those games where you can stay on one level forever and never get tired of it~

Also, I changed up the poll for the usual difficulty everyone plays at.  I usually go for 8.0-8.9 if I have a weapon I'm good with.  9.0 is still usually brutal murder for me, though.

The only level I beat in 9.0 difficulty was Chapter One. I got 10000 hearts from that. And it only cost me lots of pain.

As we know, im pro at this game. So what do pros play at? why, 9.0 of course! It's great training for online, and the only way to get better is to challenge yourself. Ill be working on the insane boss rush difficulty later this week.. seeing as i have the first 2 done. LETS SEE IF I HAVE WHAT IT TAKES! :D

I play at 3.0-3.7, and I'm already having a hard time.

I go 4-4.9 but im trying to do 9.0. So far I have managed to beat the first level but couldent survive the second.
Im trying to figure out why my health gets so low when Im not even getting hit.

I've been averaging about a 4.0 - 5.0 difficulty playing through levels for my first time. I've gone back and done a few stages at around 6.0 - 7.0, mostly the first four chapters. I'll try out the hardest difficulties when I get better versions of the weapons I really like. I mean, Chapter 7 taunts you with a nice level 9 intensity gate, so I really wanna check that one out. I wanna be able to go into the 9.0 difficulties with a comfortable Skyscraper Club, but until then I've got this Drill Arm with a five star range and big confusion bonuses.

My ultimate goal for this game is to just get the best confusion weapons.

Been playing 9.0 ever since I got to use the Fiend's Cauldron after the first chapter.
If the first Kid Icarus was hard as heck. I'm sure not letting this game be easy  :ugeek:

Well, I usually play at 7.0, or 8.0 if I'm feeling cool.  I've managed to beat the first six levels on 9.0,(Just barely!) and I plan to do the rest some time soon.

May I advice to stop hinting and/or posting spoilers? I mean, even just hinting will ruin any possible surprise for the few people who aren't very far.  :|

Too late, I clicked on this topic and don't have the game yet and the first post on this page pretty much made me pissed.
(No, I didn't click the spoilers, just the non-spoiler part was enough)
