Carlucci Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 Playing Metroid Prime:Corruption today, I thought of this one: Reverse Bossmosis: The propensity for the end-stage enemy to somehow acquire new skills and better attacks the more you wear them down. You know, if they would've just hit me with that bad-ass attack right off the bat, they could've saved themselves the trouble. Carlos.

Carlos. :lol We normally only have to push the coffee table out a few feet but sometimes the wife pushes it all the way out of the way. AdNauseum Neverlearnfolk People that find a halfway decent tactic and keep doing the same thing over and over and over again even when you've figured out how to annihilate their beloved tactic. I played a guy like that at Tekken the other day. Same 2-3 moves over and over and over again. I lost about a half dozen times before I started slaughtering him every single time by counter attacking at the exact same time over and over. I'd wait for it...then SPLAT. But the tactics never changed. Eventually he booted me from the room :lol I did this to an online buddy...she loved to run straight up the warehouse map on Gears with the shotgun and ambush the guy grabbing the sniper. It took at least a half-dozen chainsaw surprises at the same place before she gave up. Everytime we played the map I'd do it to her at least a couple of times :lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
