Lol... While I was typing that, I was being attacked, but b/c I'm a werewolf fighter w/ two stamina titles and all my points in stamina, it simply couldn't burst through my healing, despite the fact that I wasn't focusing on the game, or even attacking it.
@Drpepperyeah: Probably b/c it had two features which enhanced life, and so it has two different stamina pluses. I had the same thing happen to me, also with stamina, albeit with different numbers.
I love taking a staff, a fine magical weapon... and then beating people to death with it. It's like taking a sword and then beating them do death with the pommel. It's not exactly how it's supposed to work, but it sure gets the job done.
@shinki: First of all, don't rate based off of what other people think. Secondly, I'll bet you're 11-12. 11-13 is the only age which WOULDN'T like this game - Elementary school level and high school level gamers alike would enjoy this game (although I can't speak for actual adults, I suspect some would have the same "OMG CUTE LITTLE ELEPHANT MUST PLAY" reaction that the high-schoolers would have in nonstalgia, remembering the carefreeness of elementary school). Ergo, your argument is invalid. Edit and retry.
@ninjaax59999: If you are playing by looking constantly at the walkthrough and then going back and pressing a few keys, then that is an issue with your playstyle, not with the game itself. Some of us actually enjoy this game, because some of us actually try to work it out on our own.
One problem is that I find it hard to use Q and E if I am also using W, A, S, and D, especially because I am right-handed. If you could change the controls a little bit, it would be useful. + if you rated 5/5, like any sane person would. However, sanity may change after this masterpiece of a game and of a frustration device.
