>"I can't believe that came so down to the wire I must be close to my limit of incompetence--"
Quinn Angstrom
>Achevement unlocked: Beat the map withi at least one fucking point still intact
Quinn Angstrom
oh ok that's how it was supposed to go
Quinn Angstrom
this game is stressful
Master Chieve
Memento Mori had me thoroughly defeated for like
Master Chieve
three months
Quinn Angstrom
took me three tries, I was pushed back to the very last point
Quinn Angstrom
with a wall of turrets and rage
Quinn Angstrom
definitely the third-closest defense map I've ever done in an RTS
Master Chieve
I think I'd call it the hardest map in story mode
Quinn Angstrom
#2
#2
Quinn Angstrom
#1 was the ending of the WC3 expansion
EsperBot
Yo the last map of TFT is so fucking hard
EsperBot
I don't know if I've ever beaten it legit
EsperBot
Maybe once?
Quinn Angstrom
I was like
Quinn Angstrom
the map faded out for the ending cutscene
Quinn Angstrom
WHILE the bad guy was striding onto the defense point
Quinn Angstrom
it was a matter of frames
Master Chieve
I think that was the regular WC3 campaign
Quinn Angstrom
oh
Quinn Angstrom
whichever one has the big shitty tree
EsperBot
Wait hang on the end of TFT wasn't a defense map, that was the one where you needed to run around and--yeah
EsperBot
That was base-game War3 year
EsperBot
*yeah
EsperBot
Also difficult!
Quinn Angstrom
anyway I should go to bed that was fun
Quinn Angstrom
this game is fun
Master Chieve
It hits that perfect balance of "This is awesome" and "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"
Master Chieve
"EVERYTHING IS GOING WRONG AT ONCE"
Quinn Angstrom
Memento Mori was very well-paced, I thought
Quinn Angstrom
the constant roller coaster of "oh hey I'm actually gaining ground here"
Quinn Angstrom
and "WHEN DID THAT GET THERE FUCK"
Master Chieve
yup
Quinn Angstrom
technically looking back I've never actually seen a game over screen in IP
Quinn Angstrom
but that's because I'm trigger-happy on hte restart button
Quinn Angstrom
and it's pretty easy to tell when you're fucked
Rama
That was the finale of the WC3 base campaign yes
Quinn Angstrom
it's been a while
Rama
The trick on that level is basically knowing when the scripting has declared "you lose this chokepoint" so you can pull your guys back, I remember that much
Rama
So that the last minute is pretty much you just putting a traffic jam in front of Archimonde that's too thick for him to kill a path through.
