Dark Souls: Finished the game as a priest, restarted for one hour to see the last two miracles and get the "every miracle" trophy. (Can't say I'm impressed by those particular miracles, after seeing sorcery)
This was the hardest playthrough so far, but PVP was a lot easier. Granted, I haven't tried many weapons with my melee fighter.
I've played this game for 120 hours so far... Can't believe I've played Dragon Quest 7 for that long...
Pyromancer is next, he will NG++++ into oblivion and get the last three trophies. Then, hopefully, I'll try a starting equipment Depraved playthrough!
FM3 Solo: Still struggling.
Usually enemies are dumb as bricks so they never chase and I can just missile spam from afar. Missile ammo is not infinite though so I have to choose which enemies I need to kill first and which I can handle at a closer range with a shotgun.
I have four item slots, 50% repair costs 1 and a missile recharge costs 2, I usually go with a combination of both. (Missile x1 + Repair x2, or repair x4)
Just about every victory is close so both of those choices matter a lot.
My default wanzer has one accurate arm with both weapons tacked on him, and one crappy but durable arm with a shield to protect the rest of the body. This is all very heavy though, so the body takes a massive hit in HP. But it doesn't matter -too- much, as if the much less durable weapon arm dies it's gameover anyway.
Sometimes I just forget about missiles alltogether to get more HP/movement and handle everything with the shotgun. This mostly happens when I have to fight a bunch of lesser enemies.
Yes! Strategy in FM3!!
Man, I keep thinking this game must be SO EASY with 2 characters, and you're given 4 of them!
Right now I've just gotten to the first shop that sells grenade launchers.
And I've decided that I can't take it anymore. NO MORE KAZUKI. I'm just going to solo with Miho from now on. I believe this changes nothing about the game (every character is the same right?), but I'll have to grind a bit to get her to Kazuki's level first.
There was one fun and particularly hard battles against 6 foot soldiers (who tried to enter 6 inactive mechs with machineguns, which was very easy for 4 of them) in a very narrow place. Fortunately all these enemies REALLY liked getting to close range before attacking because hey, it's easier to aim or something. So I could just equip a giant axe.
After much experimentation I just whichever parts had the highest HP, a melee weapon, a shield, and 2 Max Repairs. MC had Stun Fist x4 equipped.
I was attacked by four mechs at the same time, while two foot soldiers tried to enter the last unused two ones. (But all those mechs fighting got in the way)
Stunning enemy mechs bought me enough time to use those repair items and last for a while. Once my mech was about dead I just ran away and jumped into another one. Muhuhahah, so cheap.
Outside of insane luck I doubt there's any other way I could have beaten that battle.
