.hack//GU Vol.3: Redemption

[Vinen]

Got to the finals of the tournament, but the fight is insanely hard... guess I have to go get like 5~ levels.

I beat this fight at level 106 lol was a joke. Seriously, put auto-guard on a chestpiece, place it on Haseo then counter every counterable skill he uses (I placed the lowest SP cost Twin Blade ability on my trigger). I also tossed auto-regen on an accessory...

It was long... and Atoli & Kuhn were pretty very dead lawl for 90% of the fight... but it wasn't really that hard. In retrospec, I probably should have put posion onto my swords in order to shorten the battle although I'm not sure if he could be afflicted by it.

I've been slacking in this game, barey fought the Beserk Avatar... decided to beat WA5 first since I was near the end ;\ I honeslty almost started this game without loading a previous save... I had to gain around 10-15 levels before I could even do the first dungeon -.- to find the Grunty. Goddam beating the previous game at level 80.

[Exoduso]

Yeah I was pretty damn low when I fought him though, which is why he destroyed me the first time when I got him down to like 1/2HP heh...

And the final boss was intense but I didn't think it was HARD (also, I finished it at level 130 so I was probably a bit underleveled too..) Regardless, the ending was worth it.

[Hitoru]

Still found it funny that all it took was you to pop a Heavenly wheel as opposed to Ghost falcon like I did, haha. But, at least you beat it! Now enjoy the forest of pain with me...ENJOY IT! AHAHAHAHHA -_-
Yeah, I'm only on block 20. Plan to finish it tonight.

[Exoduso]

lol I don't even know how to start the event.. is it at the quest shop?

[Hitoru]

No, you'll get the e-mail about it.

[Exoduso]

Well I beat the game and didn't get any email about it, so there must be something else.

[Hitoru]

You have to fuck around a little. Then eventually it sends it.

[Exoduso]

lil spoilers, but...

I still don't get why Haseo goes off with Atoli after trying to save Shino all that time lol.

It's like all of a sudden he doesn't care, even though he did all of this in order to recover her.

[Ziegus]

Just beat it a few minutes ago. Ending was all sorts of epic and *spoilers*
Manly tears were shed at the last scene with Ovan.

Didn't want to do anything after the game told me to save yet since I'll be leaving work soon but as soon as I get home I'm going to work on the Chaotic PKs and get Natsume. Is there anything to do post-game other than the Forest of Pain?

[Exoduso]

I didn't think that last scene was so emotional... it was cool, but meh... could've been done a lot better.

EDIT: I gotta find a video with english dubs for that scene with haseo/kuhn/atoli/endrance when they all summon Skeith...
this is all I could find: http://youtube.com/watch?v=fmKNZr-NEck , but it's in JP. >.>

[Hitoru]

You can just unlock the vid on your OS in the game, haha.
Oh..and reached floor 50 of Forest of Pain. Apparently from 50 to finish you can't save anywhere and warp to. So...it's marathon time!

[Exoduso]

No, I want it on my PC heh.

[Hitoru]

I'm sure there will be a rip sometime soon; just gotta watch for it.

Really didn't surprise me to be honest.

[Exoduso]

I knew he's gotten close to Atoli, but still...

[Hitoru]

I think he was more in a state of shock than anything. But yeah, they really did downplay that part.

[Exoduso]

I'm also kind of depressed they never told us what GU actually means lol...

[Hitoru]

Well, the Terminal Disks basically said it has a bunch of meanings; and they vary for different parts of the wave? Or...something like that.

Anyway...Floor 90 of Forest. Almost done ~_~

[Vinen]

pissed at the game. I cannot get the max affection endings because I screwed up the Saku email chain when I wasn't paying attention -.- you need every character at max affection apparently for them the card or something ;\

[Exoduso]

That sucks...but meh, you're gonna play the series again eventually aren't you? (at least I know I am, gonna replay it from start to finish and get everything done, since I skipped many side quests and stuff like that during my first time through the 3 games..)

And I saw that in the terminal disk it kept saying different things, still weird though.

Oh and I still can't find that video lol, and I can't seem to unlock it either (it's probably a reward for one of the books but i'm too lazy to cap them all lol..)
