Thankfully not!
Phew. I was worried again but it was just two.
I do hate the two health bar thing. Some of the Titan baddies have three separate bars but at least you can see them all at the start. But when the second one suddenly appears right when you think you've won, that's when the hate flows.

Game's not finished yet, though. Joker's having a party now and I suppose I'm invited.

If you think 2 health bars is rough, just imagine 2 health bars that need to be emptied before becoming one even longer health bar. (Dark Souls 3 is 75% off on Humble right now if you want to find out, I suspect you would suffer Hulk levels of rage)

I've never played any of the Dark Souls games but everything I hear about them makes me think that they're not my type of game.
With the excessive difficulty, constant combat and the manic dodge-rolling etc. I've heard a lot of people compare Remnant to it and I'm not getting very far in that game either so I'd best stick to my slow, peaceful exploring games ... which also result in my frequent death.

Sharks are nasty until you're strong enough to beat them senseless. If you have to go in water and need to escape, try to swim at the surface as that seems to be faster and safer. Not entirely safe, though. And never go in the water unless you have to. Like ARK.

Not just an escort mission. A FOUR MAN escort mission!



I feel less like an assassin and more like a sheepdog!
At least only one of them has to be alive.
But that doesn't stop the others getting in the way, and that's just on the ground. Trying to convince them to climb the correct wall is ... challenging.

Perhaps the door would have been an easier solution?

Unfortunately the place I was escorting them to was on top of a roof. I got up there fine, but I ended up peeping back down over the edge while screaming, "Climb, you dumb fools! Climb!"

Screaming isn't very stealthy, is it? I guess stealth wasn't of the essence, here....

I've been wondering Banj... did you play Natural Selection as well (since you recommended Subnautica)?
I'm thinking it might be enjoyable or it might be entirely different.... I'm pretty sure there's less swimming involved...

EDIT: Nevermind. I looked it up. Again. And it doesn't look like something I'd like. Not sure why I didn't remember that. I think I was mainly hoping for dinosaurs

I've never heard of it Still waiting patiently for Below Zero to be finished

Are you being sarcastic now? (Natural selection being featured as posters in Subnautica, and all...)

and yeah I'm trying to not give in and play again before they're actually done with Below Zero.
