LittleBigPlanet PSP.

I've played the PS3 version ONCE. It's my all-time favorite game for the PS3, and the PSP version, at least in my opinion, is just as good.

How can it be your all-time favourite game for the PS3 if you've only played it once? o.O



Well, it's the only game on the PS3 that I've had the chance to really sit down and play. I've played bits and pieces of games like Uncharted, Killzone, inFAMOUS, etc, but it's LBP that get's my attention. Every time I hang out with my friends who have PS3's.

starcraft 2 beta
Whore

What? I just logged into my battle.net account last night and saw it was there so i downloaded, installed, and patched it and now im having fun. i especially like the fact that supply depots for the terrans are now retractable making them rather effective walls/gates.

You mean that's what they weren't for originally? D:

back in the first game, they just sat there. they are essentially houses (they raise your pop cap), but now they serve a much more functional purpose.

Berets and hotpants? Count me the fuck in.

I actually finished The Void a couple of nights ago (F U UWE IT IS AMAZING :box: :box:) and as much as I want to like it for the lovely visuals/music and innovative ideas, I can't help but think "FINALLY, goddamn." I'm thinking about replaying through my stockpile of LucasArts adventure games now.
 
Right now I am playing Super Mario Bros. I don't like this game but i have to play because All my games have been removed from my pc because of virus effect and i haven't any collection of games.

How can you not like super Mario bros x:

I know, right? O.O

I've been playing Fallout 3 with our new add-ons and dying horribly. Hehe.... XD

...And Final Fantasy XIII, but I'm stuck on a boss... Curses! *shakes fist* "I'll kick your bum someday!"

Awesome Bro

I'm playing, yes, you guessed it... Final Fantasy XIII again,

Seriously, to say I had so many doubts about the game, it'a turned out really great, especially since it's managed to grab my attention for 85+ hours so far and there's still a fuckton of things for me to do...

Last night I killed my first Adamantoise without the summon/death trick, although it DID take 10 minutes, because I didn't follow a guide or anything, I just used my own paradigm rotation (Gotta' tweak it a little, and level up some minor roles first), but hey, I still got a 5* and another Platinum Ingot, yay me?

@Strawberry, what boss are you stuck on? I might be able to help :D (Put it in spoilers)
 
Ummm... I'm stuck at:

Barthandelus: On that Palamecia airship - he has like 4 faces and tosses lots of spells at you. O.o I can kill one face just fine, then suddenly he unleashes a volley of magic spells on me and the other medic continuously. :/ I read guides that say to cast the opposite element on them, and I do - but for some reason it still doesn't help.

Okay I think I can help:

So for your party, I'd suggest Hope, Light and Fang, but I found it better to control Hope as opposed to everyone else that goes with Light,

For your paradigms;

SYN/MED/SEN
RAV/RAV/COM
MED/MED/SEN
SYN/MED/SAB

Or if you'd like, you can completely forget the first one, and use an Aegisol and Fortisol before the fight, I'd probably recommend that actually, since it'll make it go a lot quicker.

Okay, if you've got the aerosols, use them, and run into battle. As soon as it starts, you'll want to first use Libra or a Librascope to make things easier, then start hitting his his pauldrons using the RAV/RAV/COM paradigm, just concentrate on one at a time until you've got them both, it doesn't take too long to dispatch them, then hit those ailette things (Stupid faces, they scare me D:).

You SHOULD be able to get rid of both pauldrons no problem without needing to heal, although as soon as you've got them both off, I'd switch to the MED/MED/SEN paradigm and heal up by throwing Cura all over the place. Once you're on full health, or close to hit, keep hitting away at his scary faces, lol. You'll notice that for every peice you take off him, his main body becomes weaker, although he can do some serious damage with his body, which is a bitch.

Remember, he does that charge attack, I'm pretty sure it warns you when he gets to like 90% charge or something, once you see it, switch straight to MED/MED/SEN and let your ATB bars fill up, wait for the blast thing he does (Which can be a bummer without a SEN, but with one you should all have like 10-20% health left over) and again, throw some Cura around.

Now, once all that's left is his face/body thing, switch to the fourth paradigm, which is SYN/MED/SAB, and hope to god that Fang can land a Slow or something on him, since it really helps out, while you just renew everyones buffs and Light stands there like a twat healing everyone. Once she's got Slow on him, switch back to RAV/RAV/COM and keep attacking like there's no tomorrow, infact, if you'd like to make the stagger bar go up quicker, you can have a paradigm with RAV/RAV/SAB, since Saboteurs are great at increasing the stagger. So anyways, once you've got him staggered, just keep hitting and hitting and hitting, and lastly... hitting. He might do another charge attack or two in the process, so remember, keep hitting him until his charge is at 90% (Like I said, I'm pretty sure it warns you), and then switch to MED/MED/SEN, as soon as the attack is over, heal, and switch straight back to RAV/RAV/SAB if he isn't staggered, or RAV/RAV/COM if he is. You should be able to kill him before the stagger bar has gone anyways.

Wow I made it seem long, when really the fight only lasts between 4-6 minutes on average, or it did for me anyways.

If you're having trouble with anything, I think the best bet would be to watch a video on YouTube, since they'll follow the same strategy, although I can imagine there'd be a few switches from the way I did it. It also might've helped me that I maxed everyones Crystarium before too, lol, but if not, just make sure you've got some resist magic gear or something, it really comes in handy.
