Are you referring to the same one? People complain about it in the version that didn't have a sky dungeon.
But have you finished Earth Castle and Fire Mountain?Felix said:Secretninja said:If you made it through the water dungeon without pulling your hair out you should be able to finish relatively quickly.
I don't get people complain about water temple, it's easy even though the backtracking when I missed something kind of made me rage.
The tight corridors/narrow causeways combined with those damned Slith always frustrated me, even on the 30th play-through.Felix said:Secretninja said:If you made it through the water dungeon without pulling your hair out you should be able to finish relatively quickly.

*poocolator gains 10 KKK*poocolator said:^The Nali water goddess? Do I get 10 points?
Fowyr said:Stinger all the way, baby.
Right answer.DraQ said:As for the pic, it's not Nali water goddess, it's Vandora, their goddess of lightning. I request, no, demand 1000KKKs.
DraQ said:In the corridor? Yes.Fowyr said:Skaarj scout to be precise
Or not?
In poocolator's post? No.
Fuck, Skaarj were cool.
Mere thought about what Legend did to them in Unreal 2 makes me all .
Hm. Interesting. I saved her as "vendora.jpg" and I have solution where she named Vendora too. Needs investigation.DraQ said:
The only memorable moment in the Return to Na Pali was when you battle with two stone titans.

Wtf, three and a half new monster models and all look worse than anything out of the original.

I don't remember village, but it don't talks much, my memories of RtNP very cloudy. Level starts with you riding the elevator and then you appear on the snow peak with two titans and several mercenariesAngthoron said:The encounter you're talking about is those titans near a tiny village/camp? Or am I mixing things already?

Unreal 2 "skaarj", medium variety.
There is also the "retarded brutes without armour" variant.Angthoron said:The way pretty much all of the Unreal bestiary was ruined in Unreal 2 is amazing. The Skaarj were supposed to be nimble, intelligent hunters, instead they're turned into a bunch of retarded brutes overloaded with armour - what the hell?
Yes they were treated better by not being in the game. They got replaced by Izarians which are some sort of four armed, fugly monstrosities that make generic monkey sounds. They also have blue, luminescent blood, which you will be seeing a lot in the first mission.The Krall were treated slightly better, but even then they were a good cause for rage.
Well, I'd name several more memorable moments - approaching the crashed ship and the ship itself were rather cool, so was the Spire Valley, same with Gala's Peak, which was more or less Bluff's retarded little brother, except with snow (which was actually cool).Fowyr said:The only memorable moment in the Return to Na Pali was when you battle with two stone titans.

Well, you got some small, fast pack hunters, which were kind of cool except somewhat badly animated, with bad collision and not particularly well scripted (but the potential was clearly there). It also had fucking spiders. And spazz mehreens.Angthoron said:As for RtNP, I recall the environments were pretty decent, but it was basically ruined by the "new" bestiary that I even fail to remember save for the Marines.
My main problem was that the new weapons were so uninteresting and bland. You had standard GL that launched grenades that bounced around and could be manually detonated creating most uninspired explosions to be ever copied from first 3D games. The GL looked like several bricks glued together, though it admittedly had a cool sound. You had a rocket launcher which looked like several anodizedl pipes welded together, shot single rockets exploding in the same uninspired manner, and allowed you to guide rockets with your crosshair the same way you'd guide razorjack projectiles in alt-fire. Then you had cobbled, sorry, combat assault rifle, which looked as if made out of cheap whitish plastic, but it was most misleading as in reality it was apparently made of distilled boredom of a million Wal-Mart greeters.They were often the only option to use due to limited ammo for other weapons and they looked like nothing from the original - the dark metallic colours got replaced by cheap plastic visuals. How can the same bunch of people have the AutoMags and Dispersion Pistols and then the completely differently styled assault rifles and rocket/grenade launchers? The fact that the detail level of those was about 0 also contributed...
Yes.Ironically regarding the bots part of the Marine AI, that could've been very easily avoidable - the AI editor shipped with the editor was great and easy to use! How lazy they had to be, and completely uninspired and disinterested, it sort of blows my mind. Fan-made packs and weapons were often far superior.
