I finished up ActRaiser today - I had a weird time with the final boss rush. It makes you fight all 6 major bosses again, only this time they're way faster then before. I was having a hard time dealing with the speed of their attacks, so I took to Youtube to see how other people were doing it - but every single YouTube video of the the final boss rush on 'Normal' shows the bosses attacking at their usual slower speed. Also, the bosses were doing way less damage to them then they were doing to me with each attack. Surely not every single video was mixing up playing on easy, and yet, thats what it seems like.
Anyhow, I eventually figured out that thanks to my hefty stock of lives and high health, most of the bosses were better handled by just soaking up the hits and continuously attacking. Once I clued in on that, and used magic for the last couple who were more problematic, I finished the game without too many attempts.
In the evening I started up GoldenEye. Everyone tells me it's aged really badly, and I'm not really an FPS fan, so I was a bit apprehensive about starting it. But in actuality, I've had a blast. I can understand some people struggling with the control setup (I switch to control scheme 2, which uses the analogue stick for aiming and the C buttons for moving and strafing, which I find much more intuitive than the default) but the level designs and gameplay have held up great in my eyes. I'm not sure where the game gets it's reputation of being dated beyond 'it uses an N64 controller and it has N64 graphics) to be honest.
Anyhow, I'm playing on bog standard Agent difficulty because I suck at FPS, but I've been enjoying myself. I've cleared 14 levels so far, and am on the Jungle stage - there's only a handful of levels left so I wouldn't be surprised if I finish this one tomorrow.
