Let’s Play: The Legend of Korra (Chapters 6-8)

Final three chapters!  Wow, that was easy.

Before I started chapter 6, I accidentally selected “New Game,” which erases all of your progress for no good reason at all.

Summary

In the Spirit World, Korra relearns how to Spiritbend and send spirits away in peace.  She continues deeper in pursuit of The Old Man, who keeps showing Korra bizarre visions for no real reason at all.  Eventually, we learn The Old Man is named Hundun and is an old nemesis of one of Korra’s past lives.  He escaped into the Spirit World, and reopening the portals allowed him to return and take his revenge by using his ancient fortunes to hire Chiblockers and Triads to… well, fuck with the Avatar.  And I guess completely drain her of her chi so he can return to his whole form.  Oh, and his brother is attached to his back for some reason.  Korra unlocks her Avatar State and wipes the floor with Hundun, and all is right once again.  Also, the Fire Ferrets get their revenge on the Wolfbats.  *cough*

Thoughts

By this time, you’ve learned pretty much all you need to learn about the game, so the final stages end up being pretty easy.  Then again, I DID have the health-regen item equipped, so it could’ve been a lot worse.  It’s pretty broken if you take advantage of cutscene attacks.

The final fight was, to its credit, pretty epic.  Especially since it rightfully made sure to make you feel like a god when you activate Avatar State.

Overall, the game was a fun distraction, well worth $15.  Not much else to say after that.  Interestingly, it seems Jinora’s voice actress is the same as in the series… which means she just half-assed it most of the time.

By the way, restarting the game and sticking to martial arts instead of bending is pretty fun and an interesting challenge.  It’s just annoying when you get to parts where you’re forced to switch to Waterbending for its range.

Finally, I had to make sure to share this:
