I was just about to quit the game after a ridiculous onslaught of aliens surrounded my team and critically wounded 2 of my best soldiers but I used skillz to kill the aliens before they bled out, forestalling the point where I inevitably ragequit this fucking tense pile of shit good game.

Haha I played it for the first time in a few months last night and my first mission got into a similar situation. The fuckin big guys with the shotguns and their intimidate and blood call abilities. Killed 2 of my guys, panicked another and I had had enough for the night.

There's these guys showing up now with 30 health, two powerful shots per turn and automatic overwatch who are accompanied by two healing bots. Complete nightmare. I'm dreading them now.

I have to say the EXALT missions were really easy this time around. I was never under threat and that final mission was just like any other mission.

No, but it has the same flying bots that accompany cyberdisks.

Edit: Sectopods.

Ah haven't encountered them, they look terrifying.

Had any bad encounters with Chryssalids?

I remember one rescue mission I had (had to save ~20 humans in a yard) where I sent 2 guys into a building but got ambushed on 3 sides by a Chryssalid and some other enemies (standard sectoids I think) and the Chrysallid did a hell of a job. My dudes were stuck in this small area and they got turned into zombies and later managed to kill one of my other team members. It was a mission that went as horribly wrong as it could possibly go. It happened so quick too, I was wiped out in a few turns. I think this was where I quit for a while, before starting fresh a couple of months back.

Chryssalids are a joke if you ambush them, but more often than not they get the pounce on me. They're definitely the most annoying enemy in the game. Good luck with the fishing village...

Fired up Dolphin emulator and connected my GC controller. PLaying Luigis Mansion, so fucking good.

Forced wide screen 16:9 so the graphics are a little streched out but still damn amazing.

Have been playing a fair bit of Nintendo lately, especially Wii U. I cant help thinking what a wasted opportunity Nintendo has without implementing the GC back catalogue onto Wii U in HD and allow the GC adapter that can be used with Smash Bros to work the controllers.

I cant handle the 4:3 resolution and the big ass black bars on the sides. Im pretty impressed on how decent the quality of visuals are with the game running on dolphin especially being a GC game and 14 years old. Its better quality than wii games played on the wii.

I'd rather black bars than stretched. Stretched just looks wrong.
Fuck_Giver.exe has stopped working!
Does it matter how I write the truth?

The Gamecube had some surprisingly decent quality visuals. That said don't forget that Dolphin recompiles the games it emulates and, as such, is giving you a better experience than the original anyway.

If you're impressed with LM you should fire up the Resident Evil 1 remake for GameCube. That blew me away on the console and even more on Dolphin.

I did fire up RE remake, however the controls felt rather loose for this game. Unsure if its just that I forgot how it handles or my settings on Dolphin are wrong for the game. Visually it was amazing but I must admit I have played the fuck out of RE0, RE1 and RE4 on my GC and not having my save games from the console to pass on the PC does make it a hard pill to swallow to go through it all again.
