geminidominoPosted 7/3/2011 7:34:58 PM | Damn. I remember when this game first came out, I could blast through it on hard in my sleep... Now I can't even finish the first tour!
Honestly, A-wings with Adv. Missiles against a GUN? In the first tour? I don't remember that... --- GT: AnimaeMachinae Currently Working on: Blue Dragon 100% (850/1000) |
KirbyPosted 7/4/2011 4:06:48 PM | Yeah the A-Wings always get me too. As soon as I even get a laser hit on 1, 2 others have locked on Advanced Missiles firing at me. --- Bender: You know, I was God once. God: Yes, I saw. You were doing well, until everyone died. |

igor140Posted 7/8/2011 8:47:08 PM | gunboats happen later. i also don't remember it being THAT early, but i remember getting VERY good at shooting missiles : ) --- without God, death is the only absolute |
VegetamanPosted 7/17/2011 12:36:21 PM | Yeah, hard mode just whoops my ass... Especially when going after the Bonus objectives. --- "If guns kill people, then pencils misspell words." Resident Child of Doom | LZA Founder - 2001 |

FarlanderPosted 7/18/2011 1:47:06 PM | There are some bonus objectives I never got, and I am convinced it is impossible to do so, particularly in the later missions. All primaries and secondaries isn't too bad, though. |

I remember clearing the game entirely on hard and doing all the primary and secondary... and I remember repeating some missions a lot for the bonuses. Couldn't tell you for certain if I got them all or not. --- This has been Fisting 101 with Bastard Poetry. |
FarlanderPosted 7/19/2011 6:33:08 AM | I never really played on hard. I know some of the bonus objectives are different, but is it a lot harder than normal in terms of the AI pilots? |
XKaliburPosted 7/19/2011 2:40:04 PM | The are more objectives usually but I don't remember the dogfights being any tougher, just that there might be tougher targets in general.
