Terraria: 2D RPG Pixel art perfection | A structural analysis By UberDanger

Okay, so that's my job. Terr aria is a game that much like myself is incredibly autistic, but, unlike me, is entirely on the fun side of the spectrum. It's essentially 2d pixel, art Minecraft with actual content, good content, in fact, it might objectively be one of the best games of all time and here's why it might split your friend group apart 50 hours into a server, because there's only one crimson chest and the ranged player, your group snatched up the vampire knives over a five-day period, I dumped 60 hours on it, things got so bad. I underwent a sustained decrease in chemical happiness across time. Also, clinically referred to as a book a depressed when I was playing this game, every synapse in my brain was lit. Every neuron was fired up.

This is a game where sale sister I've to the point of devolving into extreme ego centrism. You will lose friendships over this game. You might even lose yourself say you started a world with your friends and one particular individual was to use a stack underflow to generate 999, pink dyes and bring in questionable amounts of honey from allegedly another world. So he could be unique and different with his little gay otherworldly honey house. It would be entirely appropriate if every other person on the server banded together and psychopathically enforced their own all-encompassing life philosophies immediately started clearing the bosses without honey boy and raked his house with TNT a pressure plate and wiring to a sign, that'll send in a server message, saying no cheating then waited patiently for hours until the unsuspecting victim logged on to start clearing the first boss, with his friends joyfully entering his striking Honda state that he'd spent several hours of his life building yeah.

It's really easy. Once you find a hive, you destroy the whole hive and on eBay Ezra's thing what just happened, but why I spent so long building that, with fake honey from a different world, this is an intervention when I say this is the best name game of all time: I'm, not giving you my opinion, I mean on a technical level, just objectively it's up there, but I know you're a busy man. You don't have a hundred hours to dump on 2d, Minecraft and I certainly haven't sold it yet. So, instead of beating around the bush I'd, rather take you on a journey along with my best attempt at a structural analysis of terr aria I'll present my experience of completing the game chronologically, which starts at the character selection screen, I, clicked random until fate dealt me the hand I wanted, after which I named my guy cow man, Orin Ricardo, an anagram of the phrase, Moroccan warrior DNA a vague reference to my African heritage. Although I was a bit taken aback the first time, I took damage unbeknownst to yours.

Truly I was a woman. I felt it absolutely heretical to play a girl named Ricardo, but it's 2020 and about time I stopped being so goddamn closed-minded. We start our journey with one of the core elements of gameplay communal housing. You see to build a strong community. First, you need a position of power which will in turn, allow you to induce codependency in a form of exchanging shelter and coin for goods and services.

When you build a house eventually, an NPC will move in there and their integrals are progressing through the game. We build a functional house by having an enclosed space with a back wall, table, chair door and a source of light. Zombies will open the door and kill us, which is why we need stronger borders between us and them once we realized our vulnerabilities, we migrated our base of operation carved out the inside of this tree and started meticulously, constructing a testament to the incredibly satisfying nature of building a house in this game. Now. This is where you can go mining underground and explore caves in search of better or to make armor and weapons out of chests, which can contain potions, weapons and a multitude of other useful tools.

We also need them to store and the certain death that awaits you. That is a legitimate way to play the game, but it is not an effective way to play the game. A meticulous, terr aria player would know to save the mining for later, because we'll be doing a lot of it and instead go effortlessly chop down some cacti in which we craft INSU acts armor, then travel to the edge of the map and interact with a sleeping fisherman. We complete his quest, which will allow the angler NPC to move into our village. You now have the meta NPC once a day you complete a quest for him and in exchange, he'll provide us with fishing gear and fishing potions which we hold onto whilst yet again making our way to the edge of the world, which is quite a trek.

This game is utterly massive, I'm a bit overwhelmed, and this is only a medium-sized world, a world that is inherently rather unforgiving. Seeing as we are real gamers we're playing on expert mode, you see the quantity and quality of drops scale linearly with said unforgiving difficulty. It really is the only way to play the game because it incentivizes you to play by the meta and fishing in the ocean is by far the most overpowered early game strategy. It yields the saucy with shark, which is a chainsaw, the shark river, which is the best pre hard mode pickaxe. So that's the next 15 hours of gameplay.

It beats 14 different tiers of mining that we could have ground like complacent little Sims, but to be honest, I'd rather settle for the fastest mining speed and the best stats. Speaking of stats, we also fish until we get the mini shark, an automatic assault rifle along with enough loot crate's to do an unboxing video. Then we excavate the area beneath our treehouse and begin an exploration of the underlying caves. We scavenge them for materials which were used to construct essential crafting stations such as a furnace and anvil. The tinkers where benched in the EM statue which I had to remove about 20 times throughout the play through, as I was uncomfortable with letting my friends finish, whatever they were typing and on a completely different note.

Terrarium allows for five different trinkets to be equipped the further you progress, the more mobility and effects you gets a stack, and it's incredibly satisfying. Currently, I can double jump with a cloud in a bottle and sprint with the Sailfish boots, I'm also rocking a golden armor set and dare I, say terrifying weaponry. We also got grapple hooks, which is objectively a great thing in every video games. They've ever been in objectively did I, say objectively. When the night of the Blood Moon came to terrorize our village, we Di sick rated everything with streamlined efficiency.

We weren't just prepared. We were absolutely qualified, and it was at this point. I realized that in terr aria a little fishing goes a long way after the Blood Moon. We waited till the next dawn of night and summoned the first boss, the eye of Cthulhu. Now I did play this game nine years ago, and no one felt it necessary to inform me that expert mode adds new attack patterns to some bosses.

My friends believed it appropriate that I discover these things. The fun way, the way the game developers intended and that's only the first boss in the easiest section of the game. Some we yet again went back to the metal which in this case, meant building an arena, so we could dodge his wacko mode. After a few rounds of trial and error, we take down the eye which grants us, crimson or, and the shield of Cthulhu. We can now -.

This is massive with increased mobility, newfound courage and a fair total sum of carnal willpower. We went on an expedition to the jungle biome. It was exciting to explore this whole area and find 15 different golden chests. That Josh had already looted playing by himself at 4 a. m.

you'll come to find that Josh's, antisocial personality disorder would, throughout our play through, evolved from a mild nuisance to a metaphorical social hand grenade, and that's one of the things I love about this game. It will bring out the worst in you and against the worst in others. If Josh's items were to mysteriously disappear out of his chests, while he's at work, it sure looks to me like he should have used the safe instead of communally available, socialite storage, but I digress. It was time to change circumstances entirely and surpass the peasantry of being limited by gravity. We combined bottled water, fire, blossom death, weed blink root and feathers to create gravitation potions which, when consumed, will invert gravity.

We soar to the skies to explore the sky islands up here. You'll find stacked sky chests, regularly spawning wyverns in a comprehensive introduction on the self-regulating effects of terminal velocity. That's all the side constant, and it's definitely there, but the real reason I came here is to fish in the sky lake, not for any particular items. No no I just came here for the atmosphere after our Bazaar sky trip, I rinsed, the herb, Harm and Henry's chests for de bloom, Moon glow blink root, water leaf death, weed shiver, thorn and fire blossom, which I combined to make a gender change. Potion I simply didn't feel.

Like my outward flesh, reflected my inside emotions, I may look like a girl, but I feel like a man. Unfortunately, I accidentally dropped. The potion and I ran off with my gender. After a couple of minutes of chasing my manhood I, finally reclaimed it down the Bruce juice and replaced Ricardo's gender dysphoria with the self realization of a warrior, and you might be thinking to yourself. Alright, you built a tree house caught a pickaxe and an assault.

Rifle fought. A demon, I inverted gravity to fish. In a sky link and changed your gender, where can you really go from here and the answer is down? It was time to dig the hell evader, partly because we want to go to hell, but mainly because it's the most oddly satisfying digging process you'll ever go through now. I really wanted to take a creative risk, dump the whole four-minute clip and let the Giroud value remakes bang out. But when you really get down to brass tacks, the reason I couldn't is that I'm too mentally disparaged to set up a virtual audio, cable and all my friends are on the same audio track as the game.

Another Stern consequence of my mental state is that we dug this thing incorrectly, contributing to the ever-increasing kill count of terminal velocity, luckily I'm playing with people who actually know what they're doing that could rectify my poor construction skills. We finish the hell evader, but we weren't quite ready for Hell. Yet first we had to travel to a crimson, biome and fight the brain of Cthulhu. Cabana creates illusions that are so easy to see through even an eight-year-old would scoff at the lack of difficulty. Looking back at the footage, the fake brains fooled me every single time and I fail to see through the trickery.

Even once shortly after we completed sir arias ode to British mesh culture, you know devastating the central nervous system and meteorite landed, and let me tell you that is absolutely smashing. Meteorite is the most powerful arm we have access to in this stage of progression. If you stand directly on top of it, it will sear your flesh to the point of death to avoid a situation where we all stopped being friends. We split it equally and let each individual decide what they wanted to craft. I looked at the wiki for less than 10 seconds before I knew I wanted the space gun.

Then we had an absolute surge of overconfidence and built an arena outside the dungeon. We also erected a little house with a bed, so we could set our spawns next to the fight the skillet Ron fight. That is a battle. We were not prepared for a battle which will result in a long therapeutic process, many years down the line once I'm done repressing it. This is yet another situation which draws a direct parallel to British culture.

We needed gears much more gear which came in the form of a second meteorite. By the way, farming meteorite in terr aria reminds me of the now eight-year-old sub us cos. Let's place that I used to bang out on the daily hello once again audience I was actually going to go, get some more wood, it's more wood, I, don't get it, but I was gonna. Hey you want to die while I'm harvesting, that's fine! Oh, just I just kill yourself. That's a good idea: Oh everybody mans, 2012 Utes of gaming, with something else anyways with my newfound meteorite riches, I craft, a full meteorite armor set, which reduces the MANA cost of my space gun to zero.

We take on skillet run once more, and it dawns on us that our equipment was only part of the problem, as it turns out. The other half of her predicament was that we suck, but only losers, stay on the ground, real gamers rise up and take it on the chin. With a handful of attempts, we finally eradicate Mr. bones, which grants us access to the dungeon. The pacing of terr aria is difficulty is astonishing.

You plate a point where you almost feel overpowered and then, as soon as you reach the next stage, its back, it's a primal carnage you'll have to overcome incredibly harsh adversity and if you do you're rewarded with an adversely harsh power spike, my absolute favorite part of progressing is getting to see which items Josh left behind for the people that can actually feel empathy after a moderate amount of deaths. I am now plowing through the dungeon, with the book of skulls and the magic missile which, along with my space gun, led me to spec into magic. One of the four class setups, along with melee ranged and summoning I, find it incredibly cool that you can go for a certain class for a couple stages of progression and then change it with some future weapons equipment and armor. You gain access to. You might even change it entirely, based on one incredible item you get hold of, and you can even combine the classes later down the line.

This is fantastic game design and I wish more games gave you that freedom. Furthermore, terr aria really is all about freedom of choice. Let's say hypothetically two of the four players exploring the dungeon got a hold of a shadow key, something which would allow us to open any shadow chests in the underworld. Those two players would now have a choice to make. Do we go on a hellish expedition with our friends and share all the loot fairly or do Josh and I do what anyone would have done? Given our circumstances? That was a rhetorical question.

We of course rinsed hell for every single shadow. Chest I did the entire right side of the underworld, whereas josh took the entire left side, gotta look out for number one, and the risk of social detriment is far outweighed by the rewards from flame lash to meteorite bars to the hell wing, bow and cold hard cash. The is absolutely popping and I. Don't regret our choices in the slightest by the way is the underworld is one of my favorite visual, an aesthetics in the game. The backdrop is insane you can screen cap any frame down here, and it's literal pixel art I, also love the dynamic of how you survive with the current equipment.

You literally go building to building narrowly escaping hell, bats that do an unreasonable amount of damage scavenging for health potions just clinging on to your life, unlike most games in terr aria, you're, heavily rewarded for breaking all the small destructible 'he's god dammit. This game is well-made. After rinsing the shadow chests, we dug out a hill Forge which we'd need in the future and made our way back to the surface involuntarily. Now you've seen a lot of fighting you've seen a lot of mining, but you've only seen a minor amount of building one of the best parts of terrarium. Considering that Josh literally has a manor Henry's got her castle and Barney has a floating honey house.

For now, it's rather lackluster that my house is essentially a tree house, dorm shared with two other blokes to rectify the situation. I started building my home first I laid out mine cart tracks from the communal tree house, measured the distance and started constructing my sky house. I use a bottom layer of ice so that my home will eventually be a frost, biome and because the ice taps are visually, pleasing might destroy one of the sky islands to make a cloud back wall, and I'm. Already tired of explaining this to you so use your eyes to visually, perceive what's happening and enjoy one of the grooviest video game, soundtracks of all time, yo s popping, it's your boy, chow man, orange, Ricardo, and welcome to my crib. Let me show you around.

This is my favorite part of the house, the roof. This is where the magic happens. It'll send you flying through the air on Mr. Ricardo's wild ride, which loops around and takes you right back to the ice, annex my cribs very own, little frost, biome, and if you actually traverse through it without too much rigor Morris the wild ride continues. You'll go directly from soaring the skies to the underground Express, officially the most convoluted least streamlined way of accessing the elevator.

Now, what was that like 40 seconds I'll? Have you known building it took many hours of my life, but they were hours well spent considering I have a hundred sixty-two hours on hearthstone battlegrounds at least building a house and terr aria is a worthy way to spend my time? My sky house is stacked with a dozen chests that are all entirely unorganized and filled with random of just stashed in there, I also have my very own party girl living in the dungeon, and if I'd built the living room just a little differently, it would have spelled weed, but I'm not immature. So why would I do that? Building in terr aria is extremely fun and the further you get, the more materials you'll have access to placing blocks is like a tiny little dopamine button. The stellar, sound design and pixel art visuals constitute an incredibly engaging creative aspect which is a breath of fresh air and a very welcome change of pace from progressing through the content, speaking of which we, once more went back to the jungle, biome and rattled. The hornet's nest to fight the queen bee, the second-last boss before the training, wheels, come off, believe it or not. We're in the introduction Airy easy section of the game.

Oh, no! Well, that's all using oh yeah in a team effort. Together we built an arena with the proper preparation. It was almost anticlimactically easy too easy. So we decided to not prepare in the slightest when going to take on the hardest and final boss for this section of the game. To do so, you must travel to the underworld and find a team in carrying a guide, voodoo doll, kill the demon and drop the doll in the lava.

This kills the guide in great agony and summons the wall of flesh, a giant, demonic flesh wall, which instinctively assumes that you're hurting for a squirting. You will meet your demise. If you let it shoot you, you will succumb to homicidal cannibalism. If you let it eat, you and Lord knows we're not going to elaborate on what happens if you're unfortunate enough to let it touch you. If there's one thing that became crystal clear, it's that hell wasn't distinct need of a hell bridge, something you can't build single-handedly.

You need one construction worker and a bodyguard Marine respect is a summoner and seeing as he'd emotionally extorted us for the B grenades and other B gear you get from the B boss. He was admittedly perfectly suited for the job. In about an hour's time. We erected a beautiful hell bridge, then went exploring underground, since we were already on the far right side of the map where we discovered the location of the Aztec temple, went mining with spelunker potions and rekindle our arachnophobia in the spider. Biome I then encountered a nymph every other NPC we ran into has been a tremendous help, so I naturally interact with her.

The nymph goes on to beat me unconscious and steal all my money, not the first time a woman steps all over me and most certainly not the last. You know what they say: crazy in the head: crazy in the bed satisfied with our expedition. We put the conquest to rest while spying, our time and gathering our strength. The day after once, we had a couple of people online. We took on the wall of flesh once more and to be honest, the hell bridge is really the definitive way to play this boss.

I mean I, really don't know why we didn't do this from the beginning. The wall of flesh goes from rip and tear to sit and stare Oh, although I'll admit when we ran out of bridge and Henry was burnt alive. I was a little shaken up, but I know that comes with the territory. You might have to burn a gamer girl or two. If you want to get that gamer bread and the bread you can potentially scavenge from the wall of flesh treasure bag is not your standard, pure carbs and sodium.

Why try? Not your malnutrition, French baguette, no we're talking sprouted whole grain sourdough. These are your chickpea flat breads, your Ezekiel bread, the cream of the crop, the crème de la crème, we're talking absolutely based game of bread. You folks, in my case, that meant a slow laser rifle which I didn't use for several hours, seeing as it was slow turns out, though, shows the stats it got, which can be rear old, and it's three times as powerful. As my space gun, you live, you learn I guess. I also got the Sorcerer's emblem, which is perfect for a magic wielder and the demon heart which, when consumed grants an extra trinket slot and with all these things, I'm completely powerless because, as soon as should be the wall of flesh, the entire world changes as you enter hard mode in our case expert hard mode.

This is what separates the boys from the men, our entire world, permanently converted and revamped with new challenges and contents explore. We got the Crimson biome, rapidly spreading and corrupting our holy lands and on the flip side, the hallowed biome, where unicorns and elves will rip out our entrails new or mobs invasions, crafting stations, new, crafting options, new bosses, better bosses, more class, specialization, cursed events, new NPCs and way more items. Furthermore, nearly every aspect of the game has been revamped, adding extensive replayability, but we'll get to that in just a second first, we do the most important thing kill wyverns in the sky. Until we have enough salsa flight to craft harpy wings. Listen to me, limited flight, gliding, no more fall damage.

An extra trinket slot from the now redundant double jump. Terrarium has been rolling ever since house. Music was called techno, but this is where it starts peaking. We go to the crimson biome to smash a crimson altar with the pone hammer. This is the first point where we begin to grow accustomed to the steep incline in difficulty.

We're forced to actually learn attack patterns die so otter, nonsense, try to adapt, rinse and repeat funny game where enemies can come through the wall, I'm looking from funny, it's so funny and continue to get eviscerated anyways, because they're too plentiful, and they're too powerful, eventually I managed to break through and smash a crimson altar which releases new types of ore in the world, in our case cobalt, orichalcum and titanium. These are essential if we are to have any chance at facing the trials and tribulations that lay ahead. So I mined, like my life, depends on it, which it absolutely does until I can craft a cobalt drill, then I scavenged for orichalcum, or which I'll need for the pickaxe that can farm titanium and in the midst of mining, my own business, the destroyer, awakens that's a terrible turn of fate, awful situation to be in it'll hunt us all down: Massacre every single NPC and spawn kill us for a good 5 minutes. After the destroyer respond we get to breathe for literally 13 seconds before the pirate invasion hits. At this point, you can really start to feel hard mode.

It's settling in quite nicely. You know with some games, you turn up the difficulty, and it's like alright I think I can feel the difference. Terr aria are not one of those games from the invasion. I managed to salvage the Keen pirate staff. It lets me summon a little pirate and West twice as much DPs is my best weapon.

He can take damage, doesn't DeShawn and single-handedly probably tripled my character's effectiveness and that's what it feels like every time. This game's difficulty spikes the content and pacing there up is perfect, so I farm, serotonin, crystals and kill enemies in the underground hallow for souls of light. I then go to a bookcase and combine these with a tome to make crystal storm. This spell tome is to a match, expect pre mechanical boss, terr aria player. What halo top low-calorie ice cream is to fat people? It's a well-known fact that much like in the game.

People who consume low-calorie ice cream on a daily basis actually lose all their MANA, which results in skin complexions and victim mentalities. Although sometimes it's alright to feel sorry for yourself, for example, if you're fighting the mechanical bosses, it's not a mentality, you are the victim. The eye of Cthulhu is now railed to the bone and jacked, as can be one eye with a laser cannon and another spewing wildfire, both alternate between these modes and a charging melee attack, and just when you think you have a chance of winning. You acquaint yourself with to enrage mechanic safe to say we didn't beat it on our first try, but I'm just going to cut to win. We did because.

This video was already way too long with 15 souls of light I crafted the key of light, which I Chuck in a chest, turning it into a hallowed mimic, we bum-rushed the bad boy and with some luck, I actually managed to get a Daedalus storm bow, and my first attempt this item is what led me to ever so slowly, move away from being magic. Spanked with my new weapon I wanted an adequately difficult challenge when Fighting's Skeleton prime I realized I'd bitten off much more than I could chew, but beggars can't be choosers, I, suck it up and engage in the only reasonable course of action repress. The experience denies that it's hurting me and leave this for my future therapist to deal with, because truth be told when you go through an agonizing, traumatic experience, it might be best to act like it never happened and instead of facing objective reality reject and repetitive stagnant life within the confines of normality. I, don't know what that means, I, don't know if I'm projecting, but I've spent way too long on this video next boss. Ah, the Destroyer is pretty self-explanatory, but I'll go through the motions it can kill you in one or two hits shoots: lasers out of each segment, which went damaged, will't attached, leaving you with laser drones, chasing you down on expert mode, we're looking at 315 thousand health and if we don't beat it within a few minutes, it's daytime and the Mosque spawns.

Now there is some lame way you can, she's pretty much every single boss in the game, but because we are real gamers. We want the challenge. We welcome the suffering, and we embrace the post-traumatic stress disorder defeating the mechanical bosses grants us hallowed bars and various tormented Souls, which I used to make the pickaxe ex the necessary item to take it to the next level. I use it to mine, glorified or, and I opted to fully expecting to melee with the mask I then combine hallowed, bars and souls of light and mind to craft light disks, five of them to be exact, because that's how many I can throw out this weapon is definitely pretty good at dealing damage, but it's unprecedented at making noise and I would go on to craft much greater weapons, but before we continue, allow me to, in a biased manner, blindly praise the game design a bit more because I think progressing. An early hard mode is a clear-cut case of outstanding nonlinear of well implemented.

Replayability. You can progress in pretty much any aspect of the game, whether we go to the dungeon, the underworld, fishing building, mining. Every aspect of the game can directly contribute to completing terrarium. Even if Josh is an antisocial weirdo who just wants to spend hours fishing by himself he's still getting us that gamer dough barney is- and these are his words not mine- are gay interior designer and I intend to speak with reverence when I say I, don't always agree with his fend shoo, but the mere fact that he didn't give an about farming, mining or most of the bosses, but rather spent 10 hours of his life building a teleport er station in space meticulously designed for streamlined access to all the key travel points in our world. Actually provided us with technological infrastructure that would carry us through the late-game hi is an absolute meta.

Gamer who's played through the game several times always scheming up. Some new optimal arena are preparing all the materials we need for the next big boss, fight or ensuring that he gets the Crimson chest, I'm, not mad I'm, not angry, and then there's me and Henry who aimlessly browsed us her area wiki to see what items we can get next, whilst randomly progressing wherever we happen to go in the world now. The beautiful thing is that all of these are valid ways of plowing through the game and just when you thought I was done praising terr aria x' game design. I do the unexpected and keep sporadically praising it for the rest of the video. You may have noticed that I'd at this point discovered to dine tab.

Not just is there a cosmetic slot for every piece of equipment. You can also acquire various dyes and pretty much customize your character to wherever on the spectrum you may find yourself. The bosses in the game are also a spectrum. On one end, you got the slime King, very slow, easy to kill, very slow, easy attack patterns, simple movement killed with ease, very slow, easy to kill, little killed with ease and on the other side of set spectrum, you have planter the hardest boss in the game. If early your bosses was cause for distress and constitute a need for therapy, then planter is the never tell your therapist about both because you don't want to be chucked in the loony bin and because it's an experience that can't be repressed as it breaks you to the point of ego dissolution within the first minute, by the way on the tank with full turtle armor.

That means every boss. Primarily targets me, that is, for a whopping nine seconds, after which I succumb to fatal disintegration. When I spawn it's a race to get back down, because if all four players are out of aggro range simultaneously planter Dee spawns and locusts I wasn't ready for the gamer turtle plan. Terra has this attack where he flies three times as fast as the player and one-shots you when he's not doing that, it's a lethal organic bullet hell, as they say in Danish, States, Consuela kudos, but much like heavily up marked Scandinavian produce just because it's natural, nutritious and organic doesn't mean I wanted anywhere near my body. Hi told me that I should implement the slime mounts fast ball to dodge, and the terr aria wiki told me the flame thrower would be an effective weapon.

I quickly came to find that I was dealing with a malicious website and a controlled operative. Both peddling deception, the feeding plants Hera grants me three completely useless items entirely: revamps the dungeon for that and drops the key to the Aztec temple. By the way to destroy was the final boss back when I played. So this is all very new to me, especially the spiky balls and the spears. I genuinely never saw him coming this as it should be.

I didn't play this game for 40 hours, so it could hold my hand, and we could walk on sunshine I'm here to conquer and dominate. Unfortunately, when you fight the Golem, oh, you may be the one who gets conquered and dominated, but with verbal potions that mysteriously disappeared from Henry's chests and friends that can actually dodge I single-handedly slay the Golem once again. Terr aria are difficulty spikes, and we're faced with utter military superiority in the form of a UFO invasion. That reminded us why? We don't face our enemies head-on, but rather behind the lush comfort of easily ab usable game, mechanics, admittedly a cowardly strategy, but after dying 15 times, we felt it appropriate, and even 15 deaths is actually Baby Talk compared to the frost moon, which extensively acquainted us with the ruthless difficulty spike you must face. After clearing a boss, the terr aria wiki told me that the pumpkin moon would be easier than the frost moon, but you have to remember it's a malicious website with false information.

I looked at the data and the leading theory is that the pumpkin moon was likely developed in Hell by Satan. It's a gruesome experience going through it makes me want to shake everyone's hands, makes me want to cosplay PewDiePie playing pub G. It's an absolutely carnal slaughter. I, clearly wasn't equipped to deal with the situation and here's. What I did to change that during the Martian madness, I scooped up the coolest magic weapon in the game.

The laser machine gun which I trade for the cosmic car keys after all a magic will. Do me no good as the tank, but a spaceship just mind. I then used 12, hallow bars to craft Excalibur, 12, stingers and 12 jungle spores to make the blade of grass Josh's chest to craft Dramas, 20 hailstone bars to make the fiery great sword and ten crimson bars to make the blood butcher I go to a crimson altar and combined the blade of grass Dramas fiery great sword and blood butcher to make Knights edge. I then farms, the solar eclipse and highs inventory for two broken heroes, swords which are used to craft respectively. The true Excalibur and shrew Knights edge I then go to an orichalcum anvil and combined the finest blades of light and darkness to craft the terribly our long-range melee weapon.

I'm not done the Titan glove and feral claws, make a power glove, combine that with an Avenger emblem, and we get the mechanical glove which is forged together with a magma stone for the fire gauntlet. Any weapon we swing is now on fire as 10% increased attack, speed and damage plus 80%. More knock back I crafted the strongest pre endgame tank armor in terr aria, the beetle shell set. We also scooped up a paladin shield which absorbs 25% of damage done to players on my team. I skip the anchor arm because I'm not going to farm for 10 hours and then combine a multitude of items to make the master ninja gear for optimal movement and a 10% dodge chance, combined the Sun and Moon stones for the celestial stone, defense, life regeneration, Kris strike damage and melee speed.

Then I get lucky as with the frozen turtle. Shell, a 1% drop chains from the turtles in the ice biome. It significantly reduces damage taken when below 50% health, along with wings that fills out our six equipment slots and, of course we spend an unfathomable sum of gold to re-roll. All of them till we get +4 defense and force are useless, wizard, slash interior designer to be the healer. The final touch is the extremely fast short-range weapon I showed in the intro.

With that on the finally completed. This is what I spent 40 minutes. Building up to. This is what I spent 50 hours of my life to achieve I've been waiting for this. My whole life.

This is gameplay pure primal, gameplay I'm, not just having a good sign here, I'm, not just getting by I'm thriving when I'm standing still in the middle of a boss, Rankin. My brain is in a state of reverse depression, just pure pleasure. If you did an MRI, you find my central nervous system flooded with serotonin and dopamine. Every neuron fired up and every synapse collapsing in on itself as it should be. I didn't go with the Terr aria for a mild.

Kick I came here for a mainly tanking experience. That would leave me terrified, traumatized an entirely brain-damaged, and it's at this point that we use the truffle worms of fish because faith tanking bosses we've already defeated. So it's — our gear is definitely solid, but fishing with a 66% baked power to summon Duke fish Ron is a direct adherence to the meta. Yes, hello is this. My therapist yeah I would like to schedule an appointment.

How does three times a week for the next four years? Sound to you? Absolutely it's a guy called Duke fish run. You see he's really putting me through it. I haven't felt like myself ever since the sharked. That sounds good. What about Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 4:00 p.

m. all right I'll, be in the office tomorrow, hello, all right. It's a date with a successfully booked therapist appointment I had the final prerequisite to take on the final event and the final boss, but before doing so, I decided to waste my time on something useless. I rinsed our homemade mushroom biome on about 20 separate occasions to have enough glowing mushrooms, which I combined with color fight to make shroom I'd bars with 18 of them and 20 souls of flight I, construct the hoverboard and then immediately feel intense remorse, regret and disdain when I realize I just spend literally hours to make an awful item which maneuvers significantly worse than the wings I chuck it in the cosmetic slot, shed the victim mentality and rise to the occasion. Because it's time for the final frontier, we kill some heretics outside the dungeon which summons a lunatic cultist.

The wiki informs us that he's considered the penultimate boss of terr aria. So it should come as no surprise that he was the easiest thing. We've ever done in our lives, and none of us even came close to dying a stark contrast to what came next for celestial pillars manifest in our world, causing the vortex star dust, nebula and solar rifts to tear through space-time leaving us at the mercy of an interdimensional alien invasion. In the words of the then famous now infamous prophet Christopher west of her, he said when down whip it out. Now you can complete the lunar events, the intended wing, or you can complete them without dying 30 times, nonlinear game design.

It's your choice and out of 10 slowly, but surely we use bullets to start defending ourselves into a crowd of illegal aliens. Free drift, at least a hundred 50 confirmed, kills, are required to make the pillars vulnerable, but we're not here to meet the bare minimum. We're here to keep this world in line. We got a cleanse this place of evil. This is best control.

We have to remove these animals. This is our home quarrel. We can go back to the way things were. We could have warm water, coral who spent years cleansing the corruption, coral we got to keep this place pure, but got to defend our home, so anyways, each of the pillars grant us solar, nebula, Stardust and vortex fragments, which can be used to craft various extremely powerful items within each respective class and since in Terr aria the means of production is owned and controlled by the workers. I had to engage in communal resource distribution and share my solar fragments with Josh, who was also mainly that was the real daily compromise.

I use mine to craft the solar eruption, a sword with so much power and so much extension that I'm almost certainly overcompensating for something but regardless and from what it is that I'm lacking this weapon more than makes up for it. So with a book, therapist, appointment, bang and game aloof and an unrelenting force of will we challenge the god of this world? First, we fought an enormous eyeball with teeth than a slime with a person suffocating inside it is in a teleporting brain. Then a bee who's really mad. Then a crazy cursed skeleton than a gruesome flesh wall. Then two metal eyeballs with a laser cannon and a flamethrower, then an insane robotic skeleton with a cannon a saw and a spiky head, then a robot worm with rapid fire lasers, then a flower than a big orange robot, then a dragon, pig fish and finally, the ultimate challenge: a guy with eyes on his hands whoare, genuinely a great ending to the game and appropriately excruciating final boss for an adequately difficult game, sprinkled with loft, crafty and cosmic horror in.

If you read between the lines, just the right amount of vaccinations, the Moon Lord is nothing to scoff at his aggro range is the entire world, for he is omnipresent. If he kills your friend near the ocean, he will teleport to where you just spawned and dragged the nurse. As per the intended game design. The moon Lord will occasionally fire a phantasmal death rain that will sweep across the entire screen. The strategy for beating him is to have one person in a spaceship dodging circles until they're about to die, at which point a magic mirror is used to teleport back to the base.

If the main tank exuded a massive blunder and had the mirror in his inventory, rather than on a hotkey landing himself, a solid minute long respawn time, it would likely cause his party to wipe meaning they'd have to restart the 15-minute-long boss, fight a clear-cut case of it is what it is. This fight has too many goddamn variables. There's no way you don't have this up and as a result, this ends up being a chaotic infinity war across the entire game world. If whoever had aggro up, there's absolutely no mistaking, if you're next I think it's appropriate to say all right now we're in the endgame as we overcome the final boss, I'll provide my final verdict. I, don't think it's unreasonable to claim that within its respective genres, terr aria is both experienced wise and on a technical level, one of the best games in the world.

It just does everything right from the extensive customization to a super accessible crafting system. So the nonlinear progression to the perfect pacing of constant and difficulty I find it extremely hard to critique the game when it excels across the board base. Building exploration, combat sound design, immersion replayability: these are words that send me into manic frenzy and I. Just might punch myself. I played this game nine years ago by myself, and I'm so glad that I revisited it with friends after the developers follow through on their vision, I think it's a timeless visual masterpiece, and I'm not biased.

This is objective information, in my opinion, so here we are at the end of the road I originally intended to show you the final tier of equipment. It's only by farming, moon Lord for hours, I thought it would have been a good little meme if I provide a social commentary whilst completely cleansing our world of corruption, making it a utopia of pure pleasure, after which I intended to use the drill containment unit, which would take a solid ten hours to farm, to destroy every single block in the world. It would have pissed off my friends and been a neat little way of tying everything together, but instead I decided to stay true to the structural analysis and provide an accurate reflection of my experience with the game. Rather than forcing content where there is none, terr aria is extremely fun. One of the most succulent games, I've ever played that is exclusively while you're progressing through the content, but as soon as you kill moon, Lord, there's no next step no new or to farm and no new area to unlock.

It goes from hundreds of zero, real, quick I guess you could still build a house, but what's the point, Josh literally has an automated mob farm below his mansion, I'm lame-brained, maybe even impaired, so I can't possibly beat that plus the building gets pretty boring and stagnant. When you don't have the exploration, bosses and other contents of balance, it out, there's no greater challenge to warrant farming, all the Moon Lord items and, to be honest, we all completely lost interest in playing on the server once we'd beaten the game. So what happened is that I found an erratic Nadia tight, beat Sweden about it and then low file any sent me his music through a series of events. I don't legally have to explain. I ended up dropping a homosexual gangsta rap, which is in an unexpected plot twist.

My final rating for the game- my name is Ben solo, I'm so homo suck a big cholo make that dole. Oh, you could work on I-25, barely want to stay alive. Every day rise & grind waiting on your time, but I don't want to do it like that that crap, I don't wanna women, I just wanna straps suck ass, get I'll handle the jazz on my ass because I'm, tired of this straight bait. I, don't want to date, shits, so fake I need a break. I just want to feel alive and awake.

Please, God one day. Let me wake up gay ha, so whack, a couple of booty shots, pixie cut bubble, bus suck, a dick, no hands romance in a trance with a trance. No pants he's got a nice ass. I've got the finance made a hundred thousand selling trap porn on only fans. Oh, yeah check out the scuffed cosplay contest on our discord.
