Wow, you went down to Daytona! FEEL PROUD!
Weclcome back, to the stage of hisnah, I'm kidding you, welcome back to X-MEN, REIGN OF CALYPSO.
Side note, NO TIME TO EXPLAIN, Sentinal HQ incoming. WHEE.
It's always a cooling unit we have to blow the *** out of. Death Stars, Albatross's, whatnot.
I have a feeling it won't be rendering the base 'party friendly' by any means.
Took ya a moment to say that, huh, Scott? Getting all drama with us now, hm?
Wolverine can do stealth. He can. Wolverine's Revenge, as a game, proved this. However.
I have a feeling Logan might not have been all that wanting to pay attention to Scottie's heed there.
Welcome to Sentinel HQ. Or 'Sentinal Base' as this calls it.
Your main enemy? Well, considering the Sentinal's you're fighting, the giant Sentinal in the background...
Oh, and the fact it's called 'Sentinal Base', well, put it this way. No uppercutting jobbers here.
Best method to fight Sentinal's? Approach them a few inches away, keep yourself just out of their
If you wanna get close enough to actually THROW THEM. Yes, throw Sentinal's, then go ahead. Risky it is.
You get a health drop early and a Mutant Power boost, which if they rock your *** early, HELPS.
Spread Out Attacks, like Storm's mutant power, work wonders here when they try and double team you.
The only real difference I can see between the blue tinted and purple tinted Sentinal's is the health bar.
Basically, Blue Sentinal's suck major *** when compared with the slightly more sturdier purples.
They can down punch you, which can cancel a combo, which sucks. A lot. And they have a rush move.
Yes. A rush move. Because WHY NOT. WHY NOT WANT TO MAKE ME SLAM INTO THE WALL.
IT'S NOT LIKE I HAD THINGS TO DO. LIKE DRINK. OR EAT SOFT CHEESE.
P.S. Mozarella is the bomb. Personally.
What's cool is the stage mechanic. Like the Blackbird, it's brief, and small. Sort of.
You don't move along the screen, but's like an extended elevator level. What's lazy... is the background.
The reason? The background is a jpeg of the cross section of a Sentinal from the Essential X-Men
Believe me, I know. I had that book. It was *** rad. But I know what they did. They know what they did.
Not saying it doesn't look cool. Sentinal's, for one, do. But... you couldn't sprite an original bg?
C'mon, Marvel's gotta be paying you enough to sprite one background. C'MON. STOP JOSHIN' ME.
We're at the end of the level, with our cool Sentinal head. I admit, they did manage to do something new
Spriting the cables working into the head was pretty nice. Good work, you kooky kooks of kookison.
The reason I haven't got much to say on the level, is you're fighting Sentinal's. That's it. That's all.
Bar the boss and the cool background... that's all ya got. No Sentinal types aside from these two.
No cool Fitzroy self-repair Sentinal's, no Prime Sentinal's, no Nano- alright, working Nano-
We should get the boss any moment, so I'll give y'all some new fangled music for the fight. Spice things up.
By the way, I swear destroying the Sentinal's in Day's of Future Past wasn't this easy. Eh.
They downcut, is the best way I can put it. Makes you really think 'Huh, for once I wish for uppercuts'.
We're in the final stretch, but the boss we've got, well, is an actual toughie. You'll see why.
Do you perchance remember me saying, in the very first part of this playthrough, a note on a cool fight?
On perhaps how it might be totally rad to fight the Jugganaught in the ruins of his brothers home?
Well...
The reason I say that...
Is because the Jugganaught is in this game. Which is quite cool.
But I have an issue with his appearence in this game. Logically. The brutal, fighting Jugganaught...
One of the most unstoppable forces in the Marvel Universe, who has been both hero and villian...
Is just HANGING AROUND at SENTINAL HQ. WHY?
CUE BOSS MUSIC.
CUE BOSS MUSIC.
OKAY. Juggy over here. Strategy? Keep him off *** balance. Like, all the time. ALL of it.
If not, he will uppercut the living *** out of you. He has no delay it seems between launching two,
But he can be thrown. Which is hilarious. I mean... how? Just... how?
I mean, I'm unsure, perhaps, but surely Cyttorak doesn't allow you to get up and chucked like a caber.
Yeah, we're gonna be tossing him a lot. He has a *** tonne of health, so work him down however you can.
Of course, he might do his 'super' which is a ground pound that can launch you. Randomly, sometimes.
So. Many. Throws. Really, Cain, ya killin' me over here.
Also, you may notice, if you leave it a little before killing him, he'll be joined by a Sentinal goon to aid him.
OFF SCREEN PUNCHES FOR VICTORY.
Not my best use of mutant power, if I'm honest with you.
He will counter if get gets the chance, like Stephen Colbert if asked a Lord of the Rings question.
And as I said, another Sentinal goon comes to save the day. Sort of.
And...
He's done. Even if the Sentinal is still standing. Whut.
That was so cliche, but since you have an awesome haircut, I'll allow it.
*** HELL LOGAN. We're in a future where all your friends are trying to kill you.
Stage clear. We did it and as such, not shabby. We blew up Sentinal HQ, sorta. Yay?
So, that's this level. Next time, we go off to fight Magneto.
Yeah, the game might be peaking early. I'm unsure why. Ah well.
Till next time.
