And I just want to let everybody 24 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:07,200 know that my name is David Petra Angelo and I am a super soldier, 25 00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:11,640 but I'm taking my time. An alien invasion, you say? 26 00:02:11,920 --> 00:02:13,440 No problem. Just let me light a couple 27 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:15,440 candles.

Look back. 31 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:30,240 Hello. Hello, I'm here and I am not a 32 00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:32,440 super soldier. However I did find this really 33 00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:35,480 cool shield that seems to be able to reflect sunlight and 34 00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:38,120 light things on fire. So let's go light some crap up. 35 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:43,560 Woo, we'll get to it. But that weapon is just OP like 36 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:45,360 crazy. It's it's it's ridiculous. 37 00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:47,960 It's ridiculous perfect. It's it is perfect because you 38 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:52,240 kind of need it. OK, so if anybody did not pick 39 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:55,640 up on that makes sense. It's pretty vague, but that was 40 00:02:55,640 --> 00:02:56,920 fun. Body Harvest. 41 00:02:56,920 --> 00:03:00,920 We are talking about body Harvest from midway is a little 42 00:03:00,920 --> 00:03:04,560 bit of a sort of weird way that this game kind of came about. 43 00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:09,920 Body Harvest came out in 1998. I wrote down a really brief 44 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:15,440 explanation because it's better in these words than my own. 45 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,880 Body Harvest is a 3D shooter that lets players take on an 46 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:23,440 invading army of space bugs across multiple time zones from 47 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:28,480 1916 to the Aliens home world in 2046. 48 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,160 So jiggy, we are getting close to the Alien home world. 49 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:32,760 In case you didn't know, we're almost there. 50 00:03:32,920 --> 00:03:36,760 Oh, I knew with the drones, the drones in Jersey and like all 51 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:39,640 that weird stuff going on, like for sure plasmoids. 52 00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:43,640 I'm here for it. Ready, ready to do some alien 53 00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:45,520 hunting. I've been preparing for this 54 00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:47,600 over the past couple days. And we are. 55 00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:49,080 We have arrived. We have arrived. 56 00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:52,960 Before we dive into the game itself, I just want to remind 57 00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:57,160 everybody I mentioned just a minute ago that the show was on 58 00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:58,600 a bit of a hiatus, if you didn't know. 59 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:00,040 Great. Hi, we're here. 60 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:04,440 No problem if you did. I had a kid last year in 2024, 61 00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:06,960 middle of the year. So I took some time off, 6 62 00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:08,920 months pretty much. Now the show's back. 63 00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:13,240 But that also means that I have a couple of new ways I want to 64 00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:16,800 sort of reformat some of the Patreon page for the show, maybe 65 00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:19,760 do some new ideas for the actual podcast itself. 66 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:23,920 So just a reminder, if you want to toss a buck or two our way 67 00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:27,840 remember 64 show on Patreon, you'll be able to support the 68 00:04:27,840 --> 00:04:30,640 show financially or you can actually sign up for free 69 00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:32,560 because some stuff does pop in there for free as well. 70 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,840 But for just like a buck a month, you can get some pre show 71 00:04:35,840 --> 00:04:38,000 chats of us just literally shooting the shit. 72 00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:41,080 If you're listening to this episode, you will be able to 73 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:43,280 understand what that means more specifically. 74 00:04:43,280 --> 00:04:45,520 So please do check that out if you haven't already. 75 00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:49,080 Jakey's laughing. I had to, I had to. 76 00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:50,280 It was just too easy. Great. 77 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:53,440 I had to set myself up. I will not explain what it is. 78 00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:57,120 You'll have to listen. Also episodes early as well. 79 00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:00,480 And I'm gonna do something new, stealing ideas from other people 80 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:04,360 out there, but I'm gonna try and put out some polls every 2-3 81 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:07,080 months, something like that, like realistic time frame of 82 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:11,240 games that I haven't played, specifically retro games. 83 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:15,920 I'm gonna see if if patrons want to vote on what I will play. 84 00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:18,960 And I will review them non N64 titles. 85 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:23,280 So it could be Gameboy, it could be NES, it could be old PC 86 00:05:23,280 --> 00:05:25,360 games. I'm just gonna sort of throw 87 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:27,360 like 3 or 4 out there for every poll. 88 00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:30,400 I'll put them on the Patreon page on social media and 89 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:32,240 whatever gets most votes I will play. 90 00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:34,440 I will do a mini review and I'll put it up on the page as well. 91 00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:40,080 So remember 64 show on Patreon and across social media as well. 92 00:05:40,840 --> 00:05:45,240 But enough about that, Jiggy. Let's start with Body Harvest. 93 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:49,960 My question to you as always, as I do for most of these games, I 94 00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:52,200 would say, did you play this game? 95 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:54,560 Did you ever experience it? Is this the first time you're 96 00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:56,240 shaking your head? So no, this is this is the 97 00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:57,000 first. Go ahead. 98 00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:00,640 This is the first go ahead. This is this is one of those 99 00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:04,880 games there there's been a couple that I've seen it like 100 00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:07,960 all my life growing up, never played it. 101 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:11,480 I just like it's everywhere and I just never played it. 102 00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:16,240 And is it rated M? That's a great question, I have 103 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:19,920 it up right now. I believe it is T for teen. 104 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,280 OK T for teen. OK, 'cause I was like it was 105 00:06:22,280 --> 00:06:24,320 rated M That would explain why I never played it but. 106 00:06:24,840 --> 00:06:26,680 Oh, that's fair. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's fair. 107 00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:30,040 There's there's not a lot of M rated games on this console or 108 00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:32,320 honestly in this generation. There's a few on PlayStation and 109 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:37,920 stuff, but I would say more on on PlayStation, but I think 110 00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:41,880 around, you know, late 90s, you know, obviously the the ESRB 111 00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,800 ratings kind of came through with Mortal Kombat and stuff 112 00:06:44,840 --> 00:06:46,360 only a few years before this and everything. 113 00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:49,800 So for something to be rated MI think would be pretty rare at 114 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:52,920 the time. This I could see maybe they play 115 00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:56,320 it safe and do something like that, but but I had the box art 116 00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:57,960 that I have pulled up right now has AT on it. 117 00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:00,320 So. Yeah, it probably, it probably 118 00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:02,800 was T14. This is a game I actually think 119 00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:05,600 my dad would have really liked when he played it 'cause he's, 120 00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:10,880 he was a very, he loved science fiction, like any sci-fi sort of 121 00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:13,680 alien related stuff. And yeah. 122 00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:15,840 So that's kind of, it's kind of funny 'cause I was thinking of 123 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:19,720 him when I'm playing this game. And I I also coincidentally also 124 00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:22,440 thinking of Metroid while I'm playing this game because you 125 00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:24,560 look like Samus and I could not get it out of my head. 126 00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:26,360 Oh. I didn't even think of that. 127 00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,520 That's true. Every time I saw my character I 128 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:33,120 was like I look like Samus except not fully armored and I'm 129 00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:34,880 missing my gun which is like the coolest part. 130 00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:37,280 Yeah, right. The arm gun, arm cannon. 131 00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:40,680 But he's got his. He's got his pecs exposed, man. 132 00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:43,360 Yeah, he's got he's got his other guns exposed. 133 00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:45,680 Brother, he's got his natural guns. 134 00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:52,600 I also didn't play this. I I, it's one of those ones 135 00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:57,480 where I saw it enough like you did and I feel like I saw it 136 00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:00,120 enough that like, oh, I played that first level, but I think I 137 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:04,160 just saw it a bunch of times. And it's one of those like, you 138 00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:08,760 know, 25 years ago, I saw it enough that I just told myself 139 00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:11,800 that I had my hands on the controller, but I don't know. 140 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:16,760 I don't actually know. I think I think this would be 141 00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:19,000 the first time that even if I did play it, I got past the 142 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,800 first, you know, level, if you want to call it that or stage, 143 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:26,400 because it's not a super simple setup. 144 00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:29,400 I would say with for how the game plays and how it tells you 145 00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:32,080 what you need to do and stuff. So there's a lot of really like 146 00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:36,400 convoluted ways that this game explains what's going on, how 147 00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:39,200 you do, it's how it controls like a lot of that stuff. 148 00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:43,880 So we'll get into the details of that, but it's I think it's an 149 00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:47,680 interesting setup. So like the game, it's an 150 00:08:47,680 --> 00:08:49,120 interesting idea. I just don't know if the 151 00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:54,880 execution of the story works. So basically aliens are are 152 00:08:54,880 --> 00:09:00,920 going, you're going back in time to stop an alien invasion that's 153 00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:05,120 happening during the current day, which I believe the current 154 00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:09,800 day in this is that 2046 state. Isn't that what it is like 155 00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:14,160 you're going back to Greece, you're going back to things like 156 00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:14,840 that. So it's like. 157 00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:20,160 It's 2016 and then you go back to like 1941 and yeah. 158 00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:21,520 You go back like you're going back. 159 00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:23,840 Yeah. Every time, every time you go to 160 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:27,440 a new like sort of world or group of stages, if you want to 161 00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:29,040 call it that, it's a different time. 162 00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:32,680 Yeah, it's like you're, you're going, you're a super soldier. 163 00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:37,720 You're like a genetically mutated soldier trained to fight 164 00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:42,360 these things and you are travelling back because this 165 00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:50,800 alien race of like spider like weird bug creatures as eaten all 166 00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:53,760 of humanity basically. And you're like one of the last 167 00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:56,920 few remaining survivors and you go back in time to try and like, 168 00:09:57,680 --> 00:10:00,360 thwart them in their invasion, like from the beginning, 169 00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:02,440 essentially. That's basically what it is. 170 00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:04,520 That's why you're going back to all these different timelines 171 00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:06,880 and the whole, like the name of the game. 172 00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:10,680 Body Harvest is the aliens harvesting humans. 173 00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:14,120 So that's what that is. And if you look at the, I think 174 00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:15,840 it's, I think there's two different covers. 175 00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:19,360 I think it's a North American cover is the one that has like a 176 00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:22,160 big bug sort of wrapped around Earth. 177 00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:26,120 That's that's what that's what that is, is, is the bugs taking 178 00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:28,600 over Earth, like you said, wiping out humanity. 179 00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:31,080 So yeah, you're going back in time to try and stop it from 180 00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:32,960 happening in the 1st place. That's, but that's basically the 181 00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:35,400 story. And isn't it? 182 00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:41,160 Isn't it something goes wrong and like your comrades die or 183 00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:43,120 something, or you have to find your comrades or something like 184 00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:44,960 that? Yeah, you're the only one left. 185 00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:47,640 Yeah, you're the only one left. The only thing that kills me. 186 00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:49,720 And I, and I sort of like this is sort of part of the whole 187 00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:52,480 super soldier thing that I mentioned off the top is like 188 00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:57,720 you're a super soldier, but this guy just crawls. 189 00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:00,440 Super slow. He's so slow. 190 00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:03,920 I don't know, I, I don't really recall off the top of my head, 191 00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:07,000 like I wish there was a run button, you know, or like Sprint 192 00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:09,080 or something. Just so slow. 193 00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:11,000 Even if you had stamina, that's fine. 194 00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:13,960 I don't love that idea in in games, especially like older 195 00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:15,560 ones, you just not implemented great. 196 00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:19,240 But like anything, like just anything to just be able to walk 197 00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:23,520 or run a little bit faster would be nice, like. 198 00:11:24,680 --> 00:11:27,080 Yeah. You you got this big bulky 199 00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:29,600 orange armor. You have a gun that he decides 200 00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,240 to always put away when you're inside because I guess safety 201 00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:38,000 1st and you're like just just chilling. 202 00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:40,160 Yeah, he's, he's kind of just like going for a for a little 203 00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:41,240 walk, going for a stroll. You. 204 00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:45,080 Know I think I think the armor actually does play a factor into 205 00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:48,200 the way he moves like it like if this armor was put on a normal 206 00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:51,280 human, it probably wouldn't be able to move at all because you 207 00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:53,480 go into like. Game with with bugs that you 208 00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:56,240 have to kill come. On but but I'm just this is the 209 00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:58,200 I got to analyze and overthink it. 210 00:11:58,320 --> 00:11:59,280 OK, it's what I do. There, Yeah. 211 00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:03,160 That's yeah. But you, you go into water. 212 00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:05,960 You go into water and you're basically just like sinking 213 00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:07,000 immediately. Yeah. 214 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:09,600 And it tells you like that. Tells you that your suit weighs 215 00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:11,160 you down. It actually says that, yeah, 216 00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:12,720 when you first go in water and stuff. 217 00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:13,800 So. I don't think I knew that, but 218 00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:15,800 that's great. I'm glad the little like text 219 00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:18,200 bubble that pops up at the bottom of like the your your 220 00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:19,280 bottom. Yeah, I barely read that. 221 00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:20,640 Ever. Yeah, me too. 222 00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:23,720 But I was trying to like, I, I had a hard time sort of figuring 223 00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:25,360 out what to do sometimes. So I was just like, what did, 224 00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:27,280 what did that person say? Would they say like, you know 225 00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:32,080 that kind of thing? Yeah, OK, so I'm I'm sort of 226 00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:35,400 jumping all over the place and stuff, but basically I I would 227 00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:42,160 say that this is an early version of a semi open world 228 00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:45,520 game. There's a there's a there's a 229 00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:49,720 big map that gets bigger as the game goes on and you're in 230 00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:52,320 different like we said, timelines, which are defined by 231 00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:55,040 like locations. One of them is Greece, I think 232 00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:57,000 is where you start. And then you go to like the 233 00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:00,560 tropics or something, and then you go to the US and then you go 234 00:13:00,560 --> 00:13:03,120 to the alien home world. And what's the other one? 235 00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:05,320 Is it Russia? Oh, Siberia. 236 00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:06,560 That's what it is. One of them, yeah. 237 00:13:06,680 --> 00:13:08,720 You go, yeah, yeah, yeah. So that's how. 238 00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:12,080 They're all split up and and you basically like you do have 239 00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:14,240 objectives from A to B and things like that. 240 00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:16,720 And like your your boss, like I said, with text bubbles sort of 241 00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:19,600 tells you what you need to do. Or you can pull up your map and 242 00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:22,640 sort of have a general idea of where you need to go and you're 243 00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:25,920 just trying to find a way to get from A to B and eventually get 244 00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:30,440 to the boss of that section. And there's like 3 or 4 sections 245 00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:35,560 per timeline. Essentially, you can kind of go 246 00:13:35,560 --> 00:13:39,840 anywhere you want, but if you go anywhere you want, you're kind 247 00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:41,840 of just wasting your time as well because there's not really 248 00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:45,480 much to do because it's pretty sparse. 249 00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:47,000 It's pretty bare. I don't know if you found that. 250 00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:49,600 Too. It's Baron, Absolutely. 251 00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:53,240 So the the team that made this went on to make Grand Theft Auto 252 00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:54,640 3. Yeah. 253 00:13:55,200 --> 00:14:00,440 If he if he so it's got these bare bone Grand Theft Auto 3 254 00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:04,720 like structure to it Ideas. Yeah, but where it gets really 255 00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:10,040 weird is because Nintendo like had a hand in this game. 256 00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:14,080 They they, they pushed for it and they were like, OK. 257 00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:17,600 And essentially what happened is they showed them a build of it 258 00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:21,280 and Nintendo was not happy. And Nintendo was like, no, like, 259 00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:23,360 yeah. And they and they sent like a 260 00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:26,600 like a team and then they flew them out to like Nintendo 261 00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:28,040 headquarters. And they were like trying to 262 00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:32,080 that's why you get these weird. They wanted an RPG is basically 263 00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:33,040 what they wanted. They wanted. 264 00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:36,480 They wanted to turn this into, even if it was open world or 265 00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:37,520 something. I can't remember what 266 00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:40,240 terminology I read with it. They wanted this to be more of 267 00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:43,640 an RPG, yeah. So rather than focus on the 268 00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:47,320 entire open world aspect, do you get these weird RPG elements of 269 00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:51,520 going inside buildings, of solving really simple puzzles, 270 00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:55,720 opening chess? Lighting. 271 00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:58,000 Candles. Yeah. 272 00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:02,280 And I don't really. I don't know what the deal is, 273 00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:06,920 but this game is obsessed that has a separate mechanic that as 274 00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:09,880 far as I can tell, every once in a while there's a torch that is 275 00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:12,280 like a switch instead of you lighting it. 276 00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:16,080 Other than that, anything that looks like it can be lit like a 277 00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:19,880 Candlestick I think. Not the fireplaces, but any kind 278 00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:21,720 of like Candlestick or anything that looks like it's. 279 00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:24,440 You can touch it and light it with a. 280 00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:25,760 Turn it on. Turn it off. 281 00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:28,360 You can do that. What what's the reason? 282 00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:31,440 No idea if a place is dark you can still see in it. 283 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:33,200 So what's the light do? Just gives you a little glow. 284 00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:35,600 That's I. It's so random. 285 00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:38,760 It's so random like. I think you want better. 286 00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:42,040 I think you want better. The most useless mechanic in 287 00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:46,200 this game by far. At least I did not use it at 288 00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:48,840 all. But you go inside, you can do a 289 00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:55,120 sidestep with the C buttons. And I'm like, what is the 290 00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:58,080 purpose to this sidestep? You you walk into a building, 291 00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:01,160 you can walk all around in every direction, but if you use the C 292 00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:04,960 buttons, you can like face forward and step to the side 293 00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:07,560 almost like you're doing like a little shimmy, but there's no 294 00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:09,280 purpose for. It it there's no purpose 'cause 295 00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:11,640 there's never anything like attacking you. 296 00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:13,400 You don't have to squeeze through something. 297 00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:16,040 You don't have to it. It makes no sense. 298 00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:19,200 It, it's so weird. I think because and the other, 299 00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:21,680 the sort of the extension of that is the reason why I think 300 00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:24,200 maybe the reason why it's it's there is because when you're 301 00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:26,440 shooting, I don't know if you even did this. 302 00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:27,640 I didn't do it 'cause I found like. 303 00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:30,760 You can like roll. Yeah, yeah, like my hands just 304 00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:32,560 got like all fumbled when I was doing it. 305 00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:35,600 You when you shoot only, but only when you're actively 306 00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:37,800 shooting, not when you're standing there or running, but 307 00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:39,680 you actively have to be firing a weapon. 308 00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:42,920 You can do a little roll to sort of dodge some, you know, enemy 309 00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:46,160 projectiles or whatever. All it does is stop you from 310 00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:48,880 shooting and it just honestly just makes things more clunky. 311 00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:51,880 And I think it's the same, It's the same buttons. 312 00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:54,680 So I think they just did it inside but with no weapons. 313 00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:55,960 That's it. That's pretty much it. 314 00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:57,200 Like and. OK. 315 00:16:57,440 --> 00:16:59,800 But you're right, that is more useless because at least at 316 00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:03,400 least the candles or the candlesticks, every once in a 317 00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:07,760 while there's a switch and it opens up like a secret thing. 318 00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:13,200 I the, the inside stuff. I kind of, I, it, that is the 319 00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:16,839 thing that was like, oh, they're trying to do an open world 320 00:17:16,839 --> 00:17:21,640 exploration sort of thing. So I, I, I didn't hate the idea. 321 00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:24,599 I just didn't you know those that implementation didn't. 322 00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:30,760 I I was actually thinking in my head when I was playing this, 323 00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:34,360 OK, so I was going like into the buildings out of the buildings 324 00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:39,680 and I'm like, do I like this or do I not like I had no 325 00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:43,000 definitive like I hate this or I like this. 326 00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:46,880 It was like very like the idea of it is cool and I like the 327 00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:48,920 vibe of how it looks when you go inside. 328 00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:50,600 Like the frame rate gets a little higher. 329 00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:55,480 Like it has like a it has a very Zelda esque vibe to it which I 330 00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:57,440 liked. Has a different camera angle 331 00:17:57,480 --> 00:17:59,440 like. Yeah, it's, it's different. 332 00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:01,320 It's almost like a totally different game. 333 00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:02,840 They're trying. It's yeah. 334 00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:06,640 It's just, it's so bizarre. But there's no definitive, like, 335 00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:10,360 is this bad or is this good? It's just really basic so and it 336 00:18:10,360 --> 00:18:11,760 doesn't take too much of your time. 337 00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:16,600 So you're kind of just like, OK. Yeah, every once in a while. 338 00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:20,040 Every once in a while there's a building that is a little bit 339 00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:24,000 off the beaten path that you'll open a couple chests and you'll 340 00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:27,480 get extra ammo out of it. One and one of them, I can't 341 00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:29,920 remember if it was the the Tropics one or if it was in the 342 00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:34,560 grease stages. I found the shotgun there and I 343 00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:37,040 don't know, I can't remember how close I was to that, like the 344 00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:40,400 objective at the time or whatever, but it felt like I 345 00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:44,720 stumbled across this weapon, which is kind of cool because 346 00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:49,000 most of this game is like, oh, you only really find things if 347 00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,280 you're close to where you need to go or if you're fighting the 348 00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:54,000 enemies or whatever. It kind of felt like I stumbled 349 00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:57,280 upon it and I was like, oh, that's that's rare for this type 350 00:18:57,280 --> 00:18:59,480 of game at this time and all that kind of stuff. 351 00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:01,200 So I was like, OK, yeah, that's kind of fun. 352 00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:06,440 But it was like the one time and I played through, man, I want to 353 00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:12,000 say like 70% of this game, I would say, 'cause it's it takes 354 00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:13,480 a while, it's long. It takes a while. 355 00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:17,680 It's yeah, and it's in Greece. I found the the machine gun, 356 00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:20,400 which I think you it was just on camera. 357 00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:22,560 But yeah, that this is not me playing. 358 00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:26,240 I had to play I had to play this game on this is someone else 359 00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:29,200 playing on on YouTube. I played it on Steam Deck 360 00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:34,600 because I was and emulated it because I started playing it 361 00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:37,560 during the holidays and I just didn't have access to the 64 at 362 00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:38,800 the time. So I was like, OK, I'm just 363 00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:42,000 complain on this or whatever. And I tried to do the recording 364 00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:45,760 gameplay thing on that and it only lets you record like one 365 00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:48,240 minute at a time. That's not going to help. 366 00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:50,760 So anyways, other people have played this and probably more 367 00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:53,280 efficiently than me, so this is probably even better than what I 368 00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:55,360 was doing. Yeah, the guy's pretty, pretty 369 00:19:55,360 --> 00:19:57,520 efficient. Yeah, but he did find the 370 00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:00,520 machine gun, which I did find too, and it's kind of cool. 371 00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:02,440 You go into a cave and then there's like a bunch of chests 372 00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:08,960 and you open them up. But honestly, your base weapon's 373 00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:11,600 pretty effective. I, I, I thought so too. 374 00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:15,120 Your pistols like it's fine. And it's infinite ammo, yeah. 375 00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:17,000 That's the that's a big difference. 376 00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:19,880 Yeah, that makes sense. The, The thing is with it is 377 00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:24,120 that, you know, I think you mentioned the, the Nintendo 378 00:20:24,120 --> 00:20:26,880 wanted to turn this into an RPG and stuff and the, the company 379 00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:33,160 that made it where I just, it was a DD AM DMADMA design. 380 00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:37,360 That's what it was. They wanted to make this more 381 00:20:37,360 --> 00:20:40,920 action oriented, which I would say it probably is more than 382 00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:44,680 RPG. And I think part of that is, you 383 00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:47,280 know, making sure that you have a number of weapons and making 384 00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:49,160 sure you can be productive with them and all that, you know, 385 00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:54,200 making it rewarding or whatever. And part of the decision that 386 00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:57,960 they made or part of, you know, whether it's the limitations of 387 00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:00,880 the hardware or the cartridge or whatever, I don't know or it's 388 00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:05,480 just the design choice is that you lock on to what you're 389 00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:08,280 shooting pretty easily I would say. 390 00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:12,800 So having the pistol that has infinite ammo is kind of pretty 391 00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:17,600 good, especially early on like there's some larger enemies and 392 00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:20,400 especially the bosses. I would say later on that you 393 00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:24,080 you do need to use other weapons, but really it's just 394 00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:28,880 more effective and doesn't take as long as really for the most 395 00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:33,120 part. So I think it's fine to have 396 00:21:33,120 --> 00:21:36,880 other weapons, but then you get that shield that you mentioned 397 00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:39,880 which is in. Greece, the shield is the shield 398 00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:42,000 is great. It just light everything on fire 399 00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:44,560 and it's just like it's so fast too. 400 00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:49,000 It's basically like having picture iron Man's like Unibeam. 401 00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:53,040 You just have that like yes, any at any time and you can just 402 00:21:53,120 --> 00:21:55,040 hold it for as long as you need to to kill your enemy. 403 00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:57,360 Yeah, and it's fantastic. Further than any of the bullets 404 00:21:57,360 --> 00:22:00,040 do too. So you can like hit guys from 405 00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:02,400 way further away. And it's like, oh, great, yeah, 406 00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:04,840 no problem. Yeah, got this, unfortunately. 407 00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:06,640 And it looks cool when you're like running around with it. 408 00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:08,440 Yeah, I just, I used it the entire time. 409 00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:11,440 Once I got it, I was like, wait, this thing is unlimited. 410 00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:14,360 I can just hold on to the button the whole time and I'm all 411 00:22:14,360 --> 00:22:15,000 right. Great. 412 00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:19,760 Sure, I'll do it. You know, I unfortunately like 413 00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:24,640 every, basically every timeline, every area has its own version 414 00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:28,040 of that. But that was by far the most 415 00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:31,440 effective one because the stages aren't quite as difficult and 416 00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:33,320 you can just run around with that thing and just burn 417 00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:36,800 through, literally burn through a lot of the enemies and stuff 418 00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:39,560 like that. So did you like any of the other 419 00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:45,440 weapons or just whatever? Kind of whatever, kind of iffy, 420 00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:48,080 I don't know. I I didn't hate, I didn't hate 421 00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:50,920 having a variety of weapons. I can tell you I did hate the 422 00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:53,880 the dynamite that you get at the beginning or the TNT, whatever 423 00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:56,400 it is. Oh my God, because it's awful, 424 00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:58,040 because you just like set it down. 425 00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:02,160 And I, the first time I set it down, I set it down like 426 00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:05,680 obviously this big rock in Greece, I'm just like, OK, I 427 00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:07,040 clearly got to put the TNT here. You. 428 00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:09,240 Got to blow it out. You know, it's obvious and you 429 00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:14,520 set it down and I like got a fair distance away like in like 430 00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:17,400 I could still see it and then it blew up and it like basically 431 00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:19,960 almost killed me and I was like, Oh my gosh, it. 432 00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:22,800 Killed me the first time it killed me, I. 433 00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:26,400 Was I must, I was just like, I had like a sliver of health left 434 00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:29,160 and I had to go like find health somewhere. 435 00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:32,480 And of course there's like, OK, I got to talk about this because 436 00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:35,720 it actually it's kind of annoying to me how frequent the 437 00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:40,040 enemies are. I I felt like the enemies spawn 438 00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:43,360 in so fast. Like as soon as I get done 439 00:23:43,360 --> 00:23:45,640 killing a group, another group shows up immediately and I'm 440 00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:49,360 just like oh. So there's there's two ways that 441 00:23:49,360 --> 00:23:52,640 that the enemies sort of like happen, I guess there's they 442 00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:55,320 just spawn out of nowhere, like in the middle of the road while 443 00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:58,440 you're driving. The only quote UN quote 444 00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:01,160 advantage to that is if you drive towards them, you see 445 00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:02,520 you're kind of going the right way. 446 00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:05,000 It's almost like an indicator like, oh, this is direction you 447 00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:07,640 need to go. They're spawning enemies on the 448 00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:10,360 route to where your next objective is, even if you don't 449 00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:11,920 really know which way you're going yet. 450 00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:15,040 So I thought I was like, OK, I kind of realized like like once 451 00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:17,160 I got to the second set of stages, like that's kind of what 452 00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:19,320 they were doing there. And then there's the body 453 00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:24,200 harvest ones, where a big group, like a huge group of them is all 454 00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:27,680 sort of around a town usually, yeah, a bunch of people running 455 00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:29,640 around and stuff. But anyways, go ahead. 456 00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:31,960 You were talking like it was just sort of didn't really work 457 00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:33,000 because they're just too frequent. 458 00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:33,520 Just. Too much. 459 00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:36,200 It's just it's, it's a lot. It's a lot. 460 00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:38,560 And I like, I enjoyed killing them. 461 00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:41,320 Like don't get me wrong, it's a big mechanic of this game. 462 00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:44,080 Like it is the game basically. It's the game, yeah. 463 00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:50,720 But if you're, if you like me, OK, let me let me just say so in 464 00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:53,200 this game, you're you're going to be doing a lot of driving and 465 00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:57,200 a lot of looking at your map trying to figure out for me, I 466 00:24:57,200 --> 00:25:00,480 look at the map, I'm trying to figure out my orientation. 467 00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:04,360 Yes, constantly. Because constantly there is a 468 00:25:04,360 --> 00:25:07,040 compass. There is a compass, which I 469 00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:10,560 don't know why I didn't really. It just didn't feel right. 470 00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:13,800 There's something about it. The the, the The thing is, 471 00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:16,800 there's this sort of like middle ground that the game struggles 472 00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:20,440 with, I think is that you you pull up your map and it it 473 00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:23,920 points like immediately when you pull it up, it shows you and 474 00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:26,800 tells you where and what your next objective is. 475 00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:29,000 Cool, great. You don't have to search for it. 476 00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:30,720 Kind of gives you an idea. Oh yeah, it's a little bit 477 00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:32,400 north. It's a little bit S all right, 478 00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:35,120 That's not out of the ordinary. That's fine. 479 00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:39,760 The issue is that when you get away from your map, it's just a 480 00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:43,800 compass and the only thing that pops up on the compass is green 481 00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:47,600 dots, which are other vehicles. And just like just vehicles. 482 00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:49,680 I think, I don't even think the humans are are green. 483 00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:52,720 I can't even remember anymore. And then the red dots, which are 484 00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:55,160 enemies. So the problem is there's not 485 00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:58,120 even like an indicator or an arrow to say like, Oh yeah, you 486 00:25:58,120 --> 00:26:00,400 need to generally go this direction or this because the 487 00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:04,400 roads are all over the place. So you're like potentially 488 00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:07,560 driving in circles and sometimes you have no idea and you're 489 00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:09,760 always referencing your map, always pulling up the map 490 00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:11,920 because it's the only way you know to Orient yourself. 491 00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:15,680 It's exactly what you said. Every single pathway, every 492 00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:18,160 single Rd. branches off multiple times. 493 00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:20,880 So even if you're like, oh, I need to follow this road to get 494 00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:24,440 to this point, you'll at some point reach a divergent and 495 00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:26,600 you'll almost inevitably choose the wrong one. 496 00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:29,880 Like, yeah, it's it's, it's impossible. 497 00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:34,520 And to add to further confusion, sometimes enemies show up and 498 00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:38,080 when there's enemies that are in the in the air, there's an arrow 499 00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:40,360 that pops up on screen and actually points toward the 500 00:26:40,360 --> 00:26:43,280 enemies. So you almost, you think because 501 00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:45,720 I did this at least the first couple times that it happened 502 00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:47,800 and like, oh, that's the direction I need to go. 503 00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:50,960 The game's telling me this is this is the way totally fair. 504 00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:53,360 No, it is not the way. It is not the way. 505 00:26:53,360 --> 00:26:55,240 It's just. Where the harvest thing is 506 00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:57,560 happening, that's what it. Is yeah, yeah, that's. 507 00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:02,040 That's the weird part about it. It's I I spent a lot of time 508 00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:06,600 looking at my map and I too, I I don't like it and it's it's a 509 00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:11,040 slow like load to the map. It takes its time. 510 00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:14,960 So you pause, you pause it and it does like a public access, 511 00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:19,160 like cheesy, like the screen shrinks and like zooms out and 512 00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:21,800 then the other one zooms in and then the map itself actually 513 00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:24,800 looks dope as heck. It's not like it's not bad. 514 00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:27,160 It's like. It'll show you like an overhead 515 00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:29,720 like Zelda style view, but then you can also like zoom in on 516 00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:32,680 yourself and it's sort of like semi 3D, like your 3D on this 517 00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:34,520 environment. Yeah, it's almost like a like a 518 00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:39,120 like a game board, like you're playing, Yeah, a board game or 519 00:27:39,120 --> 00:27:40,880 something, right. Like it had a cool style, I 520 00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:42,880 really liked how the map looked but. 521 00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:46,760 Yeah. But if it was, if there was a 522 00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:49,840 shortcut to pulling it up, instead of saying start, move 523 00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:53,920 over, press map, wait for the sort of PSA animation as you 524 00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:56,320 call it, which is totally exactly what it is. 525 00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:03,200 Yeah, Yeah, I think so. And that's, it's just, I don't 526 00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:06,240 know, it's just a function of style at the time, maybe some 527 00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:08,320 limitations. I'm not really sure what that 528 00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:13,520 choice is. I think I would be OK with that 529 00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:16,920 wonkiness of it if I didn't have to open it as many times, 530 00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:19,960 because I could maybe just have a general direction on the 531 00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:22,040 compass that would tell me, yeah, it tells you which way 532 00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:27,160 you're facing, but there's still no way to know which general way 533 00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:29,960 you need to go until you keep referencing the map. 534 00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:34,960 And that's not only does this guy run slowly or lightly jog to 535 00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:40,160 his destinations, that slows the game down too, because you're 536 00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:42,560 constantly looking, you're constantly pulling it up. 537 00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:45,440 It's over and over and over again that you need to do it. 538 00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:48,880 And there's not much you can do. That's just what you do. 539 00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:51,200 That's just how it goes. Oh, this guy lit a candle. 540 00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:53,040 Look at that. The church just got greater. 541 00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:55,560 It's just how you play the game. It's. 542 00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:57,680 Just what you do. He just he's just trying to be 543 00:28:57,680 --> 00:28:58,920 nice. He's just trying to be nice. 544 00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:01,160 If you. Could just set a custom marker. 545 00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:05,560 I don't know what the first game was to, to, to have a custom 546 00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:07,560 marker. That would have just changed the 547 00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:09,960 experience for me. That's a good point 'cause you 548 00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:12,600 spend a lot of time and it like, let's to be honest here, this 549 00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:16,960 game looks poopy. I mean, it's very, it's very 550 00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:20,320 dated. It's very, very early. 551 00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:23,400 Like this game started development and I think they 552 00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:26,960 said 95 which would be understandable, but then the 553 00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:32,160 game didn't release to what, 99 so it had like. 9898 but still. 554 00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:35,480 It had a very long development cycle, but if it if it had 555 00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:39,520 released like one of the first like N64 games, like one of the 556 00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:43,400 first few of that batch, it would have been like more 557 00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:46,000 understandable like how this game looks. 558 00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:50,320 But this game released like the year Banjo released 2. 559 00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:52,080 Yeah, right. Oh my God, yeah. 560 00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:55,640 If you compare it to games like that that are just full of extra 561 00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:59,800 color and character and like. Life animations, it's just and 562 00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:04,080 it's very foggy. If you like, if you like that 563 00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:08,520 nineties 3D game fog like this game's got it in spades. 564 00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:11,880 I think, I think they can get away with it though, because 565 00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:16,520 you're, you know, you're in these well, especially the 566 00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:19,960 second area, which is like the, the sort of tropical forest 567 00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:22,080 thing. You know what it reminded me of 568 00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:26,520 when we talked about Golden Eye Turok, Yes, but like Goldeneye 569 00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:29,000 was the first one I thought of. What's the name of that stage 570 00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:31,880 where you fight? What's her name on the bridge? 571 00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:34,160 Zanya on the top. Yeah, exactly. 572 00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:34,600 That's what. It. 573 00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:36,560 Yeah, I know. I know exactly what stage you're 574 00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:37,440 talking about. Yeah, I can't. 575 00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:39,360 Remember what the name of it is, but it but it because it has the 576 00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:42,600 same sort of dark green and the tree whatever I don't. 577 00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:44,560 Know, yeah. Turok is is. 578 00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:45,440 Probably a better. It's just. 579 00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:52,080 It's it it the draw distance is just, I don't know if they could 580 00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:54,560 have worked on it to make it just slightly more. 581 00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:58,360 I feel like I'll be following a pathway and it's it's very close 582 00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:00,640 to like my vehicle. And especially if you're in a 583 00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:03,960 vehicle that has like a lot of speed, like a bike, say yeah, 584 00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:07,280 like you're flying through and it just, I don't know, it feels 585 00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:09,320 like you just need to be able to see a little bit further. 586 00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:11,880 I know this console limitations. That's all like. 587 00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:14,840 That, but I, I feel like I've I've played games that look 588 00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:16,680 better than this that don't have this issue. 589 00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:18,320 Absolutely. I don't. 590 00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:20,880 Know, I, I think, I think it is the limitation thing because 591 00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:24,080 there's, because if you think about it, I mean, technically 592 00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:26,160 there's no quote UN quote load screen, right? 593 00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:28,120 And you're on this. That's true. 594 00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:29,560 You're on this side. Of the map. 595 00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:33,840 Big map and you know, yeah, the map is technically the load 596 00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:37,200 screen, I guess. Yeah, just like God of War, you 597 00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:41,200 know, made the big thing in 2016 to hide all the load screens. 598 00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:44,520 This is how they did it. And buddy Arvis, I guess just 599 00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:48,120 pull up your map. That's a. 600 00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:49,760 That's a fairpoint. There is no like. 601 00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:52,720 There's no stall in any of the action at all. 602 00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:54,520 I think, you know, I mean, there's a stall 'cause you're 603 00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:57,520 going to a menu and stuff, but that doesn't change because 604 00:31:57,520 --> 00:32:00,800 you're in a new area. Like even when you defeat a boss 605 00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:04,560 and you're going and they pull down like a beacon and you can 606 00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:08,640 hit save, it's not like you reset things. 607 00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:12,240 They have like a little scene that sort of sets the the next 608 00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:14,480 area up. No, you just continue where you 609 00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:16,840 just were, where you're just standing or sitting in your 610 00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:20,480 vehicle, and you keep going and then it just pulls up the next 611 00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:23,240 area of the map for you. And then all three or four 612 00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:26,360 sections of that same timeline, like we're watching the grease, 613 00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:28,400 the opening areas, the grease levels. 614 00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:33,320 Now it's all connected. You can go back when you get to 615 00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:36,680 the third section of this. You can go back to the beginning 616 00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:40,520 of it, where you started the game if you wanted to, you'd get 617 00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:42,520 nothing out of it because there's nothing there for you 618 00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:44,960 anymore. But technically, as the map gets 619 00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:47,000 bigger, you're just able to access more. 620 00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:50,760 And I the fog thing is completely understandable. 621 00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:53,400 I don't disagree with you, but I still think it's impressive that 622 00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:55,560 you can do that. I think that's kind of cool. 623 00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:58,560 Yeah, and it is. It is like the scope of the game 624 00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:00,080 is something to consider for sure. 625 00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:06,320 But I do, I do. I hate to say it, I compare it a 626 00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:09,920 lot to Jet Force Gemini just because it's a similar it's 627 00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:11,080 very. Bugs. 628 00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:15,120 It's sci-fi, it's bug killing. You're on other planets, you're 629 00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:19,200 an armored person, it's a third person shooter. 630 00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:23,240 It's inferior to Jet Force Gemini in just about every way. 631 00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:26,640 The one edge it has though, it does have something that is 632 00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:29,960 better and that is vehicle mechanics. 633 00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:34,040 Yes, that is that is like one of the biggest that's one of the 634 00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:36,840 biggest things with this game is that I can I can talk about and 635 00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:40,720 make fun of how slow this guy runs all I want Yep, right, and 636 00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:43,840 it it pains me. I think it's stupid. 637 00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:46,360 The maps are so big. Give them. 638 00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:48,360 Give them just a little tiny clip. 639 00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:51,680 For double speed. Double speed .5 more speed 5 640 00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:53,840 anything, anything. Right? 641 00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:57,160 God forbid you actually do sidestep inside 'cause it's the 642 00:33:57,160 --> 00:33:58,600 slow. Also the slowest thing I've ever 643 00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:04,400 seen in my life. But the a huge part of this is 644 00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:07,640 you can get around in a bunch of different vehicles even in the 645 00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:11,800 opening stages. So did you have favorites or 646 00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:14,840 were there ones that were like, fuck yeah, this is the one like? 647 00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:18,719 Well, I actually I like the tank that he's driving right now. 648 00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:21,440 Tank, yeah. The tank's pretty and I like the 649 00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:23,800 tank. Yeah, I didn't like the one 650 00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:28,280 that's like, I didn't like the one that has like just the the 651 00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:31,120 big track wheels and it doesn't really look like it has like a 652 00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:33,159 big cannon on top. It's kind of a weird, you know 653 00:34:33,159 --> 00:34:34,800 which one I'm talking about. Yeah, you're not. 654 00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:37,639 You're like you're sitting. Inside it instead of on top what 655 00:34:37,679 --> 00:34:39,560 this guy is. So what's crazy about that one 656 00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:39,840 too? I. 657 00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:42,080 Didn't like that one. Maybe it was the same for this 658 00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:45,000 one too. When you shot the cannon it 659 00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:46,480 actually pushed your vehicle back. 660 00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:49,760 There was physics to it. Yes, there was physics to it and 661 00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:52,600 it was a slow shot. It was like a boom and it did 662 00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:55,600 have an impact. But like this tank could go like 663 00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:59,960 like a turret and and it moved faster and it moved faster and 664 00:34:59,960 --> 00:35:02,000 it was way more durable. Yeah, yeah. 665 00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:05,040 Which is pretty much like better in every way except for having 666 00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:07,160 like a not a strong shot. Yeah. 667 00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:12,480 But I really liked the tank and I I loved bikes in general. 668 00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:14,840 Like just flying around on a bike was the best thing. 669 00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:17,520 Yeah, the bikes are great because I I don't know if it's 670 00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:22,440 because it's like just great that you know, you can you can 671 00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:27,160 like go much faster like there's just noticeably. 672 00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:29,320 Faster, so much faster. And I was flying. 673 00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:32,200 I was so the the hills and stuff. 674 00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:35,520 Yep. The physics on the hills kind of 675 00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:37,520 messed up. Like you can't just like get out 676 00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:39,200 of your vehicle and like run up them. 677 00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:42,480 Like you might, you might be able to kind of kind of like 678 00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:45,120 maneuver and like angle it. It's kind of like it just 679 00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:46,080 doesn't. Feel quite right? 680 00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:47,880 You have to cheese. It, yeah, yeah. 681 00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:50,440 And like other vehicles, like the tank is not getting up over 682 00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:52,600 hills. But as a bike, sometimes you get 683 00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:55,640 enough speed that you could be like or if you're on top, you 684 00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:58,520 can just go over everything and you just go flying. 685 00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:01,920 There was one point where I was in like a Jeep thing. 686 00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:06,280 I think it was in might have been in the Siberia level. 687 00:36:07,240 --> 00:36:11,080 I can't remember exactly where. I thought I knew I had to get 688 00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:14,560 over this like chasm. I thought I had to jump over it 689 00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:18,320 and I just kept and I did it. So what I did was I did it the 690 00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:20,000 first time. So I played I played this like I 691 00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:21,040 said before, I played on Steam Deck. 692 00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:24,080 So I did emulation, but I tried to do this like I would have 693 00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:27,360 with the the console and I didn't do safe states or 694 00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:29,160 anything. I was just like playing through 695 00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:30,880 it. So God forbid you have to start 696 00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:34,800 the whole section over again. Yeah, that happened to me, yeah. 697 00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:37,840 And you know what, in the early spots, it's like, OK, it's not 698 00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:40,560 too bad. But when I got sort of in the 699 00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:43,080 latter half of the game, it was like, Oh my God, I died a couple 700 00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:44,280 times. It's like, I don't want to do 701 00:36:44,280 --> 00:36:47,480 this. And I put it down and played it 702 00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:49,400 again like later that day or something instead. 703 00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:51,240 But. That's an important thing to 704 00:36:51,240 --> 00:36:52,760 say. Like you're playing this game, 705 00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:57,200 you have to wait to save. Yes, there's like there's like 706 00:36:57,360 --> 00:36:59,400 things that pop up to save the game. 707 00:36:59,720 --> 00:37:02,520 Like in Greece, I know it's like right after you defeat the boss, 708 00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:04,560 the thing pops up and you can save that's. 709 00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:05,960 What it is through the whole thing through. 710 00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:07,280 The whole but. That's it. 711 00:37:08,240 --> 00:37:12,080 But that's the only way I know that when I first started 712 00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:15,440 playing and I played for like, a solid amount of time, like 45 713 00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:16,720 minutes to like an hour. Yeah. 714 00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:18,960 And I just did. I didn't beat that boss. 715 00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:21,280 I didn't, like get to the end. I was just playing and 716 00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:22,520 exploring. Yeah. 717 00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:24,920 And I was like, OK, I was like, I'll come back and I'll, you 718 00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:27,360 know, do the next objective. And then I came back and my game 719 00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:30,400 was just totally fresh again. And I was like, really mad about 720 00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:32,440 that actually. Well, because I think what it 721 00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:34,800 is, is the stuff we've been talking about with the map and 722 00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:37,760 with, you know, potentially the objectives not being super clear 723 00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:42,400 sometimes or, or knowing where to go or whatever the grease 724 00:37:42,840 --> 00:37:45,960 areas are are more simplistic if you compare it to later in the 725 00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:49,600 game. But at first you're still kind 726 00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:52,120 of trying to figure out what the fuck you're doing, right? 727 00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:54,640 Like, how does this game want me to find things? 728 00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:57,080 How does this game? And it doesn't quite explain 729 00:37:57,080 --> 00:37:58,760 that. Again, this is one of the things 730 00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:01,560 I've said a bunch of times. Maybe the manual does that, I 731 00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:05,240 don't know. So I, I'm sure it doesn't make a 732 00:38:05,240 --> 00:38:08,600 drastic difference because it's just that game they want you to 733 00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:11,800 explore a little bit. But I could totally see that. 734 00:38:11,800 --> 00:38:16,960 Like I, I played the first session for probably say like an 735 00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:19,240 hour, let's say. And I did get to the boss and I 736 00:38:19,240 --> 00:38:24,880 just happened to save. But that hour I was close to, to 737 00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:27,840 putting it down before that until I got close to the boss 738 00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:29,320 and I was like, Oh, I might as well. 739 00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:31,800 And then I realized that's how the safe mechanic works. 740 00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:35,240 And I was like, oh, thank God. Yeah, glad you figured it out. 741 00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:38,080 And it was just by chance, like it was just by chance. 742 00:38:38,080 --> 00:38:41,480 But you running into that, there's no way you're the only 743 00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:45,600 person who would be doing. It so it doesn't feel right. 744 00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:50,600 It feels like if it doesn't, if you have an explicit like this 745 00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:52,760 is the point where you need to save. 746 00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:55,960 I feel like the game needs to tell you that because if it 747 00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:58,720 doesn't tell you that you're going to do exactly what I did, 748 00:38:58,720 --> 00:39:01,720 assuming that it saves, because there are games that do that. 749 00:39:01,720 --> 00:39:04,600 Super Mario 64 did that, Right, Right, right. 750 00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:08,000 And it's, it's like you need, you need to know those things 751 00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:11,200 because that just makes people like turn. 752 00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:14,560 It just turns people off. 100% especially especially I mean 753 00:39:14,720 --> 00:39:16,480 they weren't thinking of this at the time, but especially 754 00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:19,800 nowadays, like you're going into this thinking, oh, this feels 755 00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:23,520 like a semi open world thing, which is kind of my thing at 756 00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:26,640 this point. Like I love the way for me the 757 00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:31,360 sort of quote UN quote classic open world stuff feels not my 758 00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:33,720 style at the moment at least or anymore. 759 00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:36,600 So the way that like God of War does it for example, where 760 00:39:37,240 --> 00:39:41,000 there's almost like hub worlds or whatever, this kind of feels 761 00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:44,960 like that a little bit where you know it's open world, but it's 762 00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:47,960 not like everything is connected in One Piece. 763 00:39:48,240 --> 00:39:52,360 You can go to different areas or realms or whatever depending on 764 00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:54,880 the game you're playing. And that is sort of like a 765 00:39:54,880 --> 00:39:58,520 self-contained area. You can save within that spot. 766 00:39:58,520 --> 00:40:01,200 There's separate missions within that spot, the separate 767 00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:02,800 objectives within that. I like that. 768 00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:04,160 I don't. For some reason the flow of that 769 00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:07,240 just works. I understand exactly what you're 770 00:40:07,240 --> 00:40:10,120 saying because I feel the exact same way and God of War is a 771 00:40:10,120 --> 00:40:13,560 great example because it's it's separated areas that are just 772 00:40:13,560 --> 00:40:14,920 massive. Yeah, exactly. 773 00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:16,400 And that's why they could be huge. 774 00:40:16,520 --> 00:40:18,160 They could be huge and it can be somewhere linear. 775 00:40:18,160 --> 00:40:19,400 I don't care. That's fine. 776 00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:21,080 Doesn't bother me at this point anymore. 777 00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:24,160 But when it's just, hey, here's a giant map, go. 778 00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:29,080 Yeah, Witcher 3. I like it, but I get. 779 00:40:29,080 --> 00:40:32,120 Overwhelmed, yeah. And technically and, and, and 780 00:40:32,120 --> 00:40:34,800 depending on what game you're playing, like when it was made, 781 00:40:35,040 --> 00:40:37,000 there might be a lot of like, busy work in it that is just 782 00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:39,200 like, oh, this is just filler and this is bullshit at this 783 00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:42,080 point. Doesn't happen so much anymore, 784 00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:44,960 but it did for a time. And you know, I say this 785 00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:47,560 thinking like, oh, but you know, Tears of the Kingdom and the 786 00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:52,360 recent Legend of Zelda games, they somehow straddle that line 787 00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:57,840 pretty well, I would say. But this kind of feels like it's 788 00:40:57,840 --> 00:41:04,040 semi hub world, but you still have to do a lot just to get to 789 00:41:04,040 --> 00:41:05,600 that same point. Like too much. 790 00:41:05,680 --> 00:41:08,200 You have to play too much to get to that safe point. 791 00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:12,640 So I think that, you know, long story long, I get it. 792 00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:17,920 Essentially like, well, like Tears of the Kingdom and Spider 793 00:41:17,920 --> 00:41:22,120 Man, like PS5 and stuff that comes to mind, like you move 794 00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:25,120 really quickly too. And there's fast travel options. 795 00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:27,880 You know, we don't have the luxury of fast travel or right, 796 00:41:28,320 --> 00:41:30,440 right. Like our fast travel is hopping 797 00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:34,760 in a vehicle in this game. And unfortunately, maybe about 798 00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:38,560 50% of the vehicles are fast. Yeah, there's a there's a good 799 00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:40,480 chunk. Like as much as I like the tank, 800 00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:43,680 it's it's faster than running, but it's still not. 801 00:41:43,680 --> 00:41:48,440 Everything is fast. Everything's fast but but like 802 00:41:48,480 --> 00:41:50,200 you have the running. Dude I hate the running. 803 00:41:50,240 --> 00:41:52,560 So much model TS you get like these little model TS or. 804 00:41:52,560 --> 00:41:53,640 Whatever. Yeah, they are Model TS, You're 805 00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:55,040 right. Yeah, 'cause it's like the 40s 806 00:41:55,040 --> 00:41:58,320 or whatever. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. 807 00:41:58,320 --> 00:42:00,760 So, so there's, there's let me see. 808 00:42:00,760 --> 00:42:02,480 I'm gonna pull up. I'm trying to pull up the photo 809 00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:05,920 of all the of all of it, but for some reason, Discord, I'm gonna 810 00:42:05,920 --> 00:42:12,560 stop the the video and pull up the Oh my God, I can see you 811 00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:19,800 pull up the actual thing 'cause there's 60 vehicles or 812 00:42:19,800 --> 00:42:21,200 something. Some of them are variations of 813 00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:23,400 others. So it's not like a huge, massive 814 00:42:23,400 --> 00:42:26,360 difference. The cars are kind of the bikes 815 00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:28,800 are kind of the same even though they're different, you know what 816 00:42:28,800 --> 00:42:29,920 I mean? Like they just look different. 817 00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:31,000 Yeah. Let's see if this works here. 818 00:42:32,040 --> 00:42:34,000 So if you're watching the stream, you can see it, but 819 00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:39,960 these are the vehicles and there are so many of them. 820 00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:42,840 There's a bunch of helicopters, there's alien ones, there's 821 00:42:42,840 --> 00:42:45,640 human ones. Like I don't think you, you 822 00:42:45,640 --> 00:42:47,960 can't control every single one of these, but you can control 823 00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:51,680 most of them. And it's just impressive that 824 00:42:51,680 --> 00:42:55,400 they have so many. And largely I would say, even 825 00:42:55,400 --> 00:42:58,480 though there are some repeats, largely they all kind of feel a 826 00:42:58,480 --> 00:43:01,840 little bit different. I would say slightly, yeah, 827 00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:03,320 depending on what it is, I guess. 828 00:43:03,360 --> 00:43:06,920 Yeah, it is a little bit. I don't know if you noticed like 829 00:43:06,920 --> 00:43:09,280 some of the some of the cars and like the bikes, for example, 830 00:43:09,480 --> 00:43:12,360 you're going so fast every time you like just tap the joystick, 831 00:43:12,360 --> 00:43:15,640 you're just. But like, yeah. 832 00:43:15,680 --> 00:43:16,840 Yeah, yeah, you. Sold to that. 833 00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:20,360 Janky back and forth. I will say though, I I it's 834 00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:25,000 probably a better experience on the N64 for that reason because 835 00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:27,680 the stick isn't as sensitive. That's true. 836 00:43:27,680 --> 00:43:31,720 I didn't even think of that. Yeah, I really didn't have AI, 837 00:43:31,720 --> 00:43:33,760 didn't have a hard time. Like on a bike it's probably the 838 00:43:33,760 --> 00:43:36,760 worst handling out of anything. But once you go to hard. 839 00:43:36,760 --> 00:43:39,600 Time I just noticed that I needed to be more more careful 840 00:43:39,640 --> 00:43:41,240 is what it was. But I noticed right away, 841 00:43:41,240 --> 00:43:43,760 because, you know, you just compare it to stuff that's 842 00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:45,560 slower and things. Like that, that's probably, 843 00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:48,200 that's just probably something that like if you're emulating 844 00:43:48,280 --> 00:43:51,480 and you're playing with a modern joystick, the dead zone's a lot 845 00:43:51,480 --> 00:43:54,000 higher, you know? So it's a digital joystick as 846 00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:56,280 opposed to the analog like there there's a, there's a difference 847 00:43:56,280 --> 00:43:57,160 there. Yeah, exactly. 848 00:43:57,160 --> 00:43:59,920 I think you're right. So yeah, anyways, I just, I 849 00:43:59,960 --> 00:44:02,720 think it's just that I think it's pretty impressive that they 850 00:44:02,720 --> 00:44:05,800 have a lot of vehicles. You know, some of them really 851 00:44:05,800 --> 00:44:11,600 just get you from A to B, but I believe that all of them you can 852 00:44:11,600 --> 00:44:14,400 either fire your own weapon or they have weapons of their own 853 00:44:14,840 --> 00:44:17,720 like attached to it like a cannon or whatever, right. 854 00:44:18,080 --> 00:44:21,880 So if you have if you like the the machine gun, for example, 855 00:44:22,200 --> 00:44:24,800 and you're on the bike, you're firing the machine gun while 856 00:44:24,800 --> 00:44:26,840 you're driving, while you're. Driving the tank and use your 857 00:44:26,840 --> 00:44:28,840 pistol. You could if you wanted to, I'm 858 00:44:28,840 --> 00:44:32,880 pretty sure you can. Or like the boats for example, 859 00:44:32,880 --> 00:44:35,880 you're using your own weapons as opposed to cuz you're in like a 860 00:44:35,880 --> 00:44:39,400 tugboat essentially. Is there like a tugboat in like 861 00:44:39,400 --> 00:44:41,160 Thomas the train engine or something? 862 00:44:41,160 --> 00:44:42,720 Is there a name for that guy I have? 863 00:44:42,720 --> 00:44:44,840 No idea if there's one. I mean, there probably is. 864 00:44:44,840 --> 00:44:46,800 I didn't even watch that. Thomas the Train Engine. 865 00:44:47,640 --> 00:44:49,640 Well, my brother loved Thomas the Tank Engine. 866 00:44:49,640 --> 00:44:50,880 He's eight years younger than me. 867 00:44:51,160 --> 00:44:52,240 Oh, they. Oh, really? 868 00:44:52,240 --> 00:44:53,960 Oh, OK. Yeah, my cousin just told me 869 00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:57,920 that kids are watching Carmen San Diego and an Inspector 870 00:44:57,920 --> 00:44:59,080 Gadget nowadays. Yeah. 871 00:44:59,880 --> 00:45:05,000 Well, that's pretty crazy. His daughter is 7 or 8 and she's 872 00:45:05,000 --> 00:45:07,920 watching the original inspector gadget that me and my cousin 873 00:45:07,920 --> 00:45:12,200 used to watch in like 93 like. It's actually kind of awesome. 874 00:45:12,200 --> 00:45:14,720 Yeah, I was like, hell yeah. So I wrote to, I wrote back to 875 00:45:14,720 --> 00:45:16,720 you took a picture for watching on the TVI wrote back to him. 876 00:45:16,720 --> 00:45:19,040 And I was like, well, with that theme song, how could you not 877 00:45:19,040 --> 00:45:21,080 want to watch that show? Yeah, yeah, yeah. 878 00:45:21,080 --> 00:45:23,440 Yeah, it's the best. Absolutely. 879 00:45:25,400 --> 00:45:26,320 So there. So yeah. 880 00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:29,600 So there's there's a there's a variety there at least. 881 00:45:29,600 --> 00:45:33,840 And I, I, there's something about the game that it actually 882 00:45:33,840 --> 00:45:36,560 grew on me more. I mean, I, I think I played it, 883 00:45:36,960 --> 00:45:38,880 played more through it more than than you did. 884 00:45:38,880 --> 00:45:40,240 Like I got further into it or whatever. 885 00:45:40,240 --> 00:45:45,880 Yeah, for sure. I wish, I honestly, I honestly 886 00:45:45,880 --> 00:45:51,320 wish I had the time to go back and probably like, finish it, 887 00:45:51,320 --> 00:45:54,160 for example. But it's probably just gonna 888 00:45:54,160 --> 00:45:56,520 take too much time. And I just don't have that time. 889 00:45:56,520 --> 00:45:59,000 And I'm playing other games. We have other games for the show 890 00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:02,240 that we're going through like things like that, but I think 891 00:46:02,240 --> 00:46:05,480 once I got the gist of what they wanted you to do and how they 892 00:46:05,480 --> 00:46:09,720 wanted you to do it, which, you know, maybe is not a a high 893 00:46:09,720 --> 00:46:14,480 praise or whatever. I appreciated the game and I 894 00:46:14,480 --> 00:46:19,360 liked it more as I went on and I was like, OK, I get it. 895 00:46:19,360 --> 00:46:22,480 I'm going to keep going and I'm going to work within the 896 00:46:22,480 --> 00:46:27,360 limitations of of what this does and and the the PSA map 897 00:46:27,360 --> 00:46:30,320 animations and like the Super slow running. 898 00:46:30,320 --> 00:46:34,000 Like there was just ways that I could find out how to get this 899 00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:37,120 done and get from A to B and stuff. 900 00:46:37,120 --> 00:46:38,120 Oh my God, the video and pull up. 901 00:46:38,400 --> 00:46:40,280 Come on video work. You have to see this because you 902 00:46:40,280 --> 00:46:43,760 did not get to the is it America? 903 00:46:43,760 --> 00:46:47,920 They call it America's. One of the vehicles is an ice 904 00:46:47,920 --> 00:46:50,800 cream truck. It's it's epic. 905 00:46:51,160 --> 00:46:55,480 It moves super slow and it's super janky and everything, but 906 00:46:56,560 --> 00:46:59,400 hey, you get to drive an ice cream truck and shoot guns out 907 00:46:59,400 --> 00:47:01,120 of. Heck yeah. 908 00:47:01,400 --> 00:47:03,120 America, it could be worse, right? 909 00:47:03,120 --> 00:47:08,800 America, Yeah. So there there's. 910 00:47:08,800 --> 00:47:12,360 I mean, what what you just said, though. 911 00:47:12,440 --> 00:47:15,960 Yeah, what you just said, Yeah, I experienced pretty much the 912 00:47:15,960 --> 00:47:17,600 exact same thing. I played it. 913 00:47:17,960 --> 00:47:21,680 It was not gripping, OK? It doesn't. 914 00:47:21,720 --> 00:47:25,520 It doesn't capture you like the premise of it. 915 00:47:26,080 --> 00:47:27,800 Kind of awesome. Yeah. 916 00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:30,760 The concept of it kind of awesome. 917 00:47:31,600 --> 00:47:38,560 The execution of it kind of meh. Like it's just it's a meh game. 918 00:47:38,840 --> 00:47:44,200 Yeah, it pretty much like from from the gameplay to the 919 00:47:44,200 --> 00:47:49,880 graphics, music wasn't super memorable, but I don't I don't 920 00:47:49,960 --> 00:47:51,800 it wasn't bad at all. It was I. 921 00:47:51,880 --> 00:47:54,440 Just kind of like. I liked the music I liked. 922 00:47:54,480 --> 00:47:57,680 It I I just can't remember it. I'm sure like it was fine. 923 00:47:57,680 --> 00:48:02,120 I got it somewhere I'm going to try and pull up but this my 924 00:48:02,120 --> 00:48:04,120 stream thing is not working right now for some reason. 925 00:48:04,120 --> 00:48:08,120 Discord, Discord this is going to. 926 00:48:08,120 --> 00:48:11,240 Look great in the video Notion. It's all over the place there's. 927 00:48:11,280 --> 00:48:13,040 Some cool stuff. There's some cool stuff in this 928 00:48:13,040 --> 00:48:14,160 game. It's just not. 929 00:48:15,720 --> 00:48:18,080 It's not, it's not. I'm not even going to say it 930 00:48:18,080 --> 00:48:20,320 needed more time to cook. I think it needed Nintendo's 931 00:48:20,320 --> 00:48:23,400 hands off of it because. So you think that's a bigger a 932 00:48:23,640 --> 00:48:25,000 bigger? Problem, I think that was a 933 00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:27,760 problem. I think the the RPG elements of 934 00:48:27,760 --> 00:48:30,440 it, even though like they didn't really, they weren't bad. 935 00:48:31,200 --> 00:48:34,840 If you took that out, if you took that out and you focused 936 00:48:34,840 --> 00:48:40,720 all your energy into the 3D World and exploring, yeah, like 937 00:48:40,880 --> 00:48:43,080 that, that's where the heart of this game is. 938 00:48:43,200 --> 00:48:46,960 That's where it's where the action is and it just, it 939 00:48:46,960 --> 00:48:52,440 needed, it needs love, it needs love and it just it, it's like 940 00:48:52,520 --> 00:48:55,320 it started off as this labor of love and just kind of evolved 941 00:48:55,320 --> 00:48:59,040 into this like we're just trying to finish this at this point. 942 00:48:59,120 --> 00:49:01,720 Yeah, that's, yeah. So it needs it needs fine 943 00:49:01,720 --> 00:49:05,160 tuning, but also it feels like the longer they worked on it, 944 00:49:05,760 --> 00:49:08,120 the less productive they got with it. 945 00:49:08,120 --> 00:49:09,480 Does that make sense? You know? 946 00:49:09,760 --> 00:49:14,160 It's well, it's like the longer they worked on it, the less 947 00:49:14,160 --> 00:49:16,720 their vision was coming through and the more it was just like, 948 00:49:16,760 --> 00:49:18,880 let's just do this, let's do this, let's do this, let's do 949 00:49:18,880 --> 00:49:21,800 this. And like their team, like a 950 00:49:21,800 --> 00:49:26,320 bunch of their team just like quit because Nintendo like 951 00:49:26,400 --> 00:49:29,080 cancelled another game and like took that team and was like, 952 00:49:29,080 --> 00:49:30,440 here, you're part of this team now. 953 00:49:30,440 --> 00:49:34,000 And it was like Nintendo just kind of team rolled them, 954 00:49:34,280 --> 00:49:39,960 honestly. And it, it, yeah, it wasn't what 955 00:49:39,960 --> 00:49:42,560 Nintendo wanted it to be. It wasn't ever going to be what 956 00:49:42,560 --> 00:49:44,640 Nintendo wanted it to be. But Nintendo tried to make it 957 00:49:44,640 --> 00:49:49,600 when Nintendo wanted it to be. It's just it it just, yeah, I it 958 00:49:49,600 --> 00:49:52,240 almost makes you feel bad for it because you see the you see 959 00:49:52,240 --> 00:49:55,040 where it was going in a in a way. 960 00:49:55,560 --> 00:50:00,880 In a way it's better than Earthworm Jim, but in a way it's 961 00:50:00,880 --> 00:50:04,560 reminding me of why I liked Earthworm Gym, because I can see 962 00:50:04,560 --> 00:50:08,760 the vision, OK, I can see it, I can see it and I'm like, oh, if 963 00:50:08,760 --> 00:50:13,960 they only could have implemented this well, I would have liked it 964 00:50:13,960 --> 00:50:16,240 so much more. This is better than that. 965 00:50:16,360 --> 00:50:18,040 I'm not saying. That OK, I was gonna say. 966 00:50:18,080 --> 00:50:19,560 Do you think? I had this better or. 967 00:50:20,480 --> 00:50:22,800 Oh yeah, I think this is way better than Earthworm Gym 3D 968 00:50:22,800 --> 00:50:24,360 but. I mean, different games, I just 969 00:50:24,360 --> 00:50:26,080 but but I I get what you're saying, yeah. 970 00:50:26,080 --> 00:50:31,840 Different games, but it's it's that like it almost is. 971 00:50:32,480 --> 00:50:33,520 It could have been better speechless. 972 00:50:33,520 --> 00:50:35,160 I could see it. I could see it. 973 00:50:35,560 --> 00:50:39,400 I'm like, man, that game could have been really epic. 974 00:50:39,800 --> 00:50:42,480 Yeah, yeah, for sure. I, I think so. 975 00:50:42,480 --> 00:50:46,800 That's The thing is this is going for a pretty epic scale 976 00:50:46,880 --> 00:50:48,680 like you said. I think scope is something that 977 00:50:48,680 --> 00:50:51,680 you said early on which I I, I have a great way to explain it, 978 00:50:51,680 --> 00:50:54,680 I think great word to use as part of the explainer for this. 979 00:50:56,120 --> 00:50:59,840 It's, it's getting there, but like a lot of games that we've 980 00:50:59,840 --> 00:51:06,000 talked about before, it just misses it just a touch due to 981 00:51:06,000 --> 00:51:09,520 limitations due to meddling from a bunch of different people and 982 00:51:09,520 --> 00:51:11,280 companies and like things like that. 983 00:51:11,280 --> 00:51:16,120 So there's something there. I it's, I still think it's fun. 984 00:51:16,120 --> 00:51:19,880 I still think it's worth getting through, but but do be aware 985 00:51:19,880 --> 00:51:24,560 that it is a little bit of a slog because of the choices that 986 00:51:24,560 --> 00:51:27,040 they were forced to make or the choices that they made, you 987 00:51:27,080 --> 00:51:28,560 know, themselves, whatever it is. 988 00:51:29,920 --> 00:51:31,960 But I do think that there's some there and I think there's 989 00:51:31,960 --> 00:51:33,520 something there. I don't know if it sticks to 990 00:51:33,520 --> 00:51:36,040 landing. It does basically as the further 991 00:51:36,040 --> 00:51:39,720 along you go, the objectives don't change drastically. 992 00:51:39,720 --> 00:51:42,360 You're still going from spot to spot, killing the bugs. 993 00:51:42,400 --> 00:51:44,720 There's body harvest things that happen. 994 00:51:45,240 --> 00:51:46,640 The building's a little bit different. 995 00:51:46,800 --> 00:51:49,240 You sometimes you have to get something to bring to someone in 996 00:51:49,240 --> 00:51:52,040 order for them to give you the key to get to the next area or 997 00:51:52,040 --> 00:51:54,920 to get, you know, one's in a city, the other one's in a 998 00:51:54,920 --> 00:51:58,400 jungle, the other one's in, you know, the winter Siberia, the 999 00:51:58,400 --> 00:52:00,120 other one's in Greece in the 40s. 1000 00:52:01,000 --> 00:52:04,480 You know, OK, it's, it's fine, I guess. 1001 00:52:06,880 --> 00:52:10,240 But I still, I don't know. I don't know what it is, man. 1002 00:52:10,240 --> 00:52:15,040 I don't, I don't think it's a remarkable game, but I I liked 1003 00:52:15,040 --> 00:52:17,600 it more than I did within that first hour. 1004 00:52:17,600 --> 00:52:22,960 That first hour I was worried. I was like, oh this is not so 1005 00:52:23,240 --> 00:52:25,480 good. Yeah, so you gotta play. 1006 00:52:25,480 --> 00:52:27,840 You gotta play for over an hour. That's what I'm getting from 1007 00:52:27,840 --> 00:52:29,520 this. It's kind of like watching the 1008 00:52:29,520 --> 00:52:33,720 first season of The Office. You're like, yeah, I could see 1009 00:52:33,720 --> 00:52:35,000 it. But then you get to season 2 and 1010 00:52:35,000 --> 00:52:39,840 it's way better. I can sell it to people in a way 1011 00:52:39,840 --> 00:52:43,960 that I think they would like it, and the way to do that is it is 1012 00:52:43,960 --> 00:52:47,280 Jet Force Gemini plus Blast Core together. 1013 00:52:48,160 --> 00:52:50,400 That's another one. The the the sort of the look of 1014 00:52:50,400 --> 00:52:52,560 the character and the look of the world and stuff. 1015 00:52:52,560 --> 00:52:54,680 Looks, looks like that game for sure. 1016 00:52:54,680 --> 00:52:57,080 The vehicle, yeah. It basically, you know, like 1017 00:52:57,080 --> 00:53:01,720 it's, it's it's like it's like if Blast core had a 3D shooter 1018 00:53:01,720 --> 00:53:03,560 element to it like Jet Force Gemini. 1019 00:53:04,080 --> 00:53:08,640 It's basically it's some weird mesh between the two. 1020 00:53:08,880 --> 00:53:12,360 I agree. But then it's like, it is, but 1021 00:53:12,360 --> 00:53:14,360 you can see the Grand Theft Auto in it too. 1022 00:53:14,360 --> 00:53:16,440 It's like kind of a weird. Yeah. 1023 00:53:16,960 --> 00:53:18,480 Yeah. And then for some reason, RPG 1024 00:53:18,480 --> 00:53:19,760 elements which just make no sense. 1025 00:53:20,040 --> 00:53:21,560 But they're few. They're few in part between. 1026 00:53:21,560 --> 00:53:24,040 They're really, they don't add or subtract really. 1027 00:53:24,160 --> 00:53:27,200 They're just there. And honestly, unless you are 1028 00:53:27,200 --> 00:53:31,120 familiar with, you know, more open world RPGs, if those are 1029 00:53:31,120 --> 00:53:33,560 like the thing you've played in the last, you know, let's say 15 1030 00:53:33,560 --> 00:53:35,720 years or something, then maybe you'd recognize hints of it. 1031 00:53:35,720 --> 00:53:38,680 Or if you looked up, you know, development notes about this 1032 00:53:38,680 --> 00:53:40,920 game like we have, and maybe you'd recognize it. 1033 00:53:40,920 --> 00:53:43,600 But I think some people would play this and just be like, oh, 1034 00:53:43,600 --> 00:53:45,680 this is weird. I just walked into this 1035 00:53:45,680 --> 00:53:49,000 building, lit a candle and walked out and there's nothing 1036 00:53:49,000 --> 00:53:49,920 there. Because sometimes there's 1037 00:53:49,920 --> 00:53:52,040 buildings where there's literally nothing there. 1038 00:53:52,040 --> 00:53:55,000 And why is this why? Why I? 1039 00:53:55,000 --> 00:53:57,200 Feel like I need to put a disclaimer now, now that I said 1040 00:53:57,200 --> 00:53:58,920 it's Blast Core plus Jet Force Gemini. 1041 00:53:59,320 --> 00:54:03,360 It's Blast core but not as good and it's Jet Force Gemini but 1042 00:54:03,360 --> 00:54:05,480 not as good put together. There you go. 1043 00:54:05,480 --> 00:54:06,720 That's fair. That's fair. 1044 00:54:06,720 --> 00:54:08,680 Yeah. That's this game. 1045 00:54:08,920 --> 00:54:09,600 Yeah. So. 1046 00:54:09,640 --> 00:54:11,760 So it's. And you look like Samus. 1047 00:54:12,160 --> 00:54:15,280 I mean, you really do I? Orange Orange Samus without 1048 00:54:15,280 --> 00:54:17,520 without the arm cannon. And you're a man. 1049 00:54:17,720 --> 00:54:21,000 And and you're a guy, you know. Maybe that appeals to some of 1050 00:54:21,000 --> 00:54:22,720 you. Yeah, it's less interesting, 1051 00:54:22,720 --> 00:54:24,920 let's be honest. The the main character is not 1052 00:54:25,200 --> 00:54:27,160 he's it's nobody like it's. Just yeah. 1053 00:54:27,160 --> 00:54:29,000 What is his name again? I don't know. 1054 00:54:29,560 --> 00:54:31,000 Exactly. No, it doesn't. 1055 00:54:31,000 --> 00:54:32,560 It doesn't matter. Rather that's the thing. 1056 00:54:32,560 --> 00:54:34,880 Like think it was about something like Samus is like she 1057 00:54:34,880 --> 00:54:38,160 matters. Like from the beginning it 1058 00:54:38,160 --> 00:54:40,480 matters right? Whether you knew it was her or 1059 00:54:40,480 --> 00:54:43,760 not when you first played the older games, Like it matters. 1060 00:54:45,880 --> 00:54:49,200 Anyways, I would say check it out. 1061 00:54:49,200 --> 00:54:51,960 But yes, unfortunately you do have to get through some sloggy 1062 00:54:51,960 --> 00:54:55,040 stuff, some slow moving, weird choices. 1063 00:54:55,800 --> 00:54:57,680 But I don't think this is a complete throw away. 1064 00:54:57,680 --> 00:54:59,680 I don't think you think that either, but I think I'm a little 1065 00:54:59,680 --> 00:55:00,960 bit higher on it than you are, so. 1066 00:55:01,400 --> 00:55:04,920 Yeah, I think, I think this is this is one game that I just 1067 00:55:04,920 --> 00:55:08,440 personally like my style of game. 1068 00:55:08,440 --> 00:55:10,600 It just, it just didn't grip me. Yeah, that's fair. 1069 00:55:10,600 --> 00:55:13,560 And I I can look at this objectively and say it's not 1070 00:55:13,560 --> 00:55:15,560 that bad. Yeah, it's just not. 1071 00:55:15,560 --> 00:55:18,520 It's not great and it's just it's not my style. 1072 00:55:18,720 --> 00:55:20,160 Yeah, that's fair. That's all it is. 1073 00:55:20,320 --> 00:55:24,320 But like, take it or leave it because I personally like my hot 1074 00:55:24,320 --> 00:55:26,920 take is I don't really find Grand Theft Auto that fun. 1075 00:55:27,880 --> 00:55:30,520 See so. GTA three I think is the 1076 00:55:30,520 --> 00:55:34,080 pinnacle of that franchise, so, but that's because I played it 1077 00:55:35,000 --> 00:55:36,520 over and. Over back in the day. 1078 00:55:36,520 --> 00:55:40,200 Like I could probably, I haven't played that game in probably at 1079 00:55:40,200 --> 00:55:44,400 least 15 years, but when it came out, I had it not only for 1080 00:55:44,400 --> 00:55:46,280 PlayStation. Eventually I bought the PC 1081 00:55:46,280 --> 00:55:48,320 version even though my PC barely played it. 1082 00:55:48,880 --> 00:55:52,800 I could probably pull that game up now and drive around the map 1083 00:55:52,800 --> 00:55:54,160 and remember where everything is. 1084 00:55:54,160 --> 00:55:57,280 I played that game so. Yeah, I do remember having more 1085 00:55:57,280 --> 00:56:02,320 fun with the older GTA titles like GTA3, GTA San Andreas, Vice 1086 00:56:02,320 --> 00:56:06,240 City, like those Vice. City and three are like to meet. 1087 00:56:06,240 --> 00:56:10,160 Those two, yeah, Before, yeah, 'cause I, I got four and I 1088 00:56:10,160 --> 00:56:12,840 remember playing that and thinking like, yeah, it was OK. 1089 00:56:12,840 --> 00:56:17,320 And then I got 5 and I 5:00 just got way over saturated for me 1090 00:56:17,480 --> 00:56:20,760 and it ruined it. I'm like not a big fan of five, 1091 00:56:20,920 --> 00:56:23,000 Not a big fan of five. Yeah, I never did the online 1092 00:56:23,000 --> 00:56:27,600 where it's you know what it is. It it was a little bit cartoony. 1093 00:56:27,600 --> 00:56:31,680 I mean, it still is, but like it they went for like more 1094 00:56:32,080 --> 00:56:34,680 realistic feeling. It's obviously not the real. 1095 00:56:34,680 --> 00:56:36,000 World. But like, I don't like that. 1096 00:56:36,320 --> 00:56:38,360 I don't like that either. I want it to be silly if it's 1097 00:56:38,360 --> 00:56:39,800 gonna be something. Yeah, yeah. 1098 00:56:39,840 --> 00:56:42,760 Why be Scarface like Vice City is, You know, like do that. 1099 00:56:42,760 --> 00:56:45,840 Like, that's great. This is not that. 1100 00:56:45,880 --> 00:56:49,600 But OK, so every once in a while we'd say like, hey, let's let's 1101 00:56:49,600 --> 00:56:50,720 give it like a little bit of a rating. 1102 00:56:50,720 --> 00:56:52,600 Do you wanna throw a number out there? 1103 00:56:52,600 --> 00:56:58,720 Jiggy for out of 10? Out of 10 I'm stuck at about a 1104 00:56:58,720 --> 00:57:01,360 six. Some around there maybe maybe 1105 00:57:01,400 --> 00:57:04,520 maybe a 5.5. OK, still higher than I thought 1106 00:57:04,520 --> 00:57:05,920 you were going to say. Yeah, OK. 1107 00:57:06,080 --> 00:57:07,200 I, I'm. So I don't think it's 1108 00:57:07,400 --> 00:57:09,080 something's that bad. If we're doing if we're doing 1109 00:57:09,280 --> 00:57:11,760 like just straight numbers, I would say A7. 1110 00:57:11,760 --> 00:57:14,400 If we're doing the point fives, they'd be like 7.5 somewhere in 1111 00:57:14,400 --> 00:57:16,200 there. So no higher. 1112 00:57:16,200 --> 00:57:19,200 Cuz like you said, there's just other games that do similar 1113 00:57:19,280 --> 00:57:24,720 ideas but better. But yeah, Body Harvest, pretty 1114 00:57:24,720 --> 00:57:26,880 easy to find out there. It's not an expensive game. 1115 00:57:26,880 --> 00:57:28,560 If you're a collector and you want to find it, it's pretty 1116 00:57:28,560 --> 00:57:29,680 easy to find. It Yeah, that's the thing. 1117 00:57:29,680 --> 00:57:32,280 It's not expensive. So it's like just just try it. 1118 00:57:32,280 --> 00:57:34,880 Just give it, try it. Yeah, Worst case, hey, you have 1119 00:57:34,880 --> 00:57:36,040 a game you don't really care about. 1120 00:57:36,480 --> 00:57:38,720 Yeah, and hey, there's always a couple. 1121 00:57:38,720 --> 00:57:40,440 Of add it to the collection. Yeah, if you have a big 1122 00:57:40,440 --> 00:57:42,040 collection, it's just another one of those. 1123 00:57:42,320 --> 00:57:43,560 So it doesn't really hurt you too much. 1124 00:57:44,280 --> 00:57:49,080 I will say that if you are, I don't know how many listeners we 1125 00:57:49,080 --> 00:57:52,200 have in Europe, you're lucky. You got the better, you've got 1126 00:57:52,200 --> 00:57:53,960 the better cover art there's like. 1127 00:57:54,440 --> 00:57:56,680 I'm gonna have to look it up. Super soldier guy in the front 1128 00:57:56,800 --> 00:57:58,920 and like shit blowing up behind you and stuff. 1129 00:57:58,920 --> 00:58:01,000 I think. I think the whole like bug 1130 00:58:01,000 --> 00:58:05,280 eating the planet thing on the North American box art is is 1131 00:58:05,280 --> 00:58:07,400 cool. It's kind of like eye popping 1132 00:58:07,400 --> 00:58:09,320 like whoa, giant bugs eating the world. 1133 00:58:09,920 --> 00:58:12,000 I get it. But I don't know, it feels like 1134 00:58:12,000 --> 00:58:16,720 this old, like the 80s action movie and the other cover, and I 1135 00:58:16,720 --> 00:58:18,600 find that to be more interesting. 1136 00:58:19,120 --> 00:58:21,680 Like which Mega Man covers. Yeah, like the old Mega Man 1137 00:58:21,680 --> 00:58:24,600 covers, which like, who is this guy? 1138 00:58:24,600 --> 00:58:29,640 Like that's that's not Mega Man. And like a lot of the ads were 1139 00:58:29,640 --> 00:58:31,840 like that too, made it look like this sort of like. 1140 00:58:32,320 --> 00:58:35,680 I there's, I wonder if that would have made a difference for 1141 00:58:35,680 --> 00:58:38,080 me growing up, having the other art. 1142 00:58:38,080 --> 00:58:42,240 Because honestly, I remember seeing this game so much I can't 1143 00:58:42,240 --> 00:58:45,560 think of for the life of me why I never was interested in it, 1144 00:58:45,560 --> 00:58:47,480 why I was never like, I want to play this. 1145 00:58:47,760 --> 00:58:49,160 Yeah. There's something, there's 1146 00:58:49,160 --> 00:58:51,880 something that did that for me and I don't know what it is. 1147 00:58:52,280 --> 00:58:54,520 And maybe it was the art. Maybe I just looked at it and I 1148 00:58:54,520 --> 00:58:58,480 was thought it doesn't look that great, you know, because I'm, I, 1149 00:58:58,560 --> 00:59:02,240 I myself am not super into sci-fi stuff. 1150 00:59:02,440 --> 00:59:04,920 Like my dad was all over it. My dad loved Star Wars, Star 1151 00:59:04,920 --> 00:59:08,960 Trek, like everything. Like I liked Star Wars probably 1152 00:59:08,960 --> 00:59:10,640 more than a lot. Like I like Star. 1153 00:59:10,640 --> 00:59:16,080 Fox, but I didn't. I like star stuff, but animals 1154 00:59:16,080 --> 00:59:18,480 in in space. Yeah, I was like Aliens and 1155 00:59:18,480 --> 00:59:20,440 Predator and stuff. Like I'm more interested in it 1156 00:59:20,440 --> 00:59:23,120 now than I was as a kid. For sure, yeah, yeah, sure. 1157 00:59:23,240 --> 00:59:25,120 Like. It just didn't grip me. 1158 00:59:25,160 --> 00:59:27,240 Yeah. Not like, not like a cartoon 1159 00:59:27,240 --> 00:59:30,320 bear or blue hedgehog. You know that that was real 1160 00:59:30,320 --> 00:59:34,000 gaming. The thing is too is like in a in 1161 00:59:34,000 --> 00:59:38,440 a very similar way. If you saw this at the store and 1162 00:59:38,440 --> 00:59:40,280 it was up at 1 of like the display things that you could 1163 00:59:40,280 --> 00:59:42,160 try or was just playing on a screen. 1164 00:59:43,560 --> 00:59:47,480 Unless it was one of the scenes where there's a lot of shooting 1165 00:59:47,480 --> 00:59:49,760 and the bugs exploding and stuff. 1166 00:59:50,200 --> 00:59:52,080 I don't know that those in between things would really 1167 00:59:52,080 --> 00:59:54,680 capture your interest as a kid. Like there's just you like. 1168 00:59:54,680 --> 00:59:55,760 Walking around me like what am I? 1169 00:59:55,920 --> 00:59:58,480 What am I supposed to do? I'm I'm walking and talking to 1170 00:59:58,480 --> 01:00:01,720 some guy in some church or some building like so. 1171 01:00:02,320 --> 01:00:04,960 Maybe you'd see a vehicle and be like, cool, but a lot of games 1172 01:00:04,960 --> 01:00:07,680 have vehicles. So like I I think it's a hard 1173 01:00:07,680 --> 01:00:10,320 sell as well, even though I still think that there's 1174 01:00:10,320 --> 01:00:13,320 something interesting here. But I'm in my 30s so it's a 1175 01:00:13,320 --> 01:00:15,200 different. Yeah, and, and going through 1176 01:00:15,200 --> 01:00:19,400 just just it being so hard to explain what to do, like to 1177 01:00:19,400 --> 01:00:20,960 figure out what to do, where to go. 1178 01:00:21,480 --> 01:00:25,800 Definitely a younger, a younger audience wouldn't be attracted 1179 01:00:25,800 --> 01:00:27,440 to that. You'd play it, you'd play it to 1180 01:00:27,520 --> 01:00:30,640 run around and kill the bugs and drive the vehicles and stuff. 1181 01:00:31,000 --> 01:00:33,920 But you would not like you wouldn't be progressing. 1182 01:00:34,160 --> 01:00:36,920 I'm speaking for myself. I would not be progressing. 1183 01:00:37,320 --> 01:00:39,480 I'd be like, I don't know what I'm supposed to do. 1184 01:00:39,480 --> 01:00:42,680 I probably would open the map, not like see the circle, be like 1185 01:00:42,720 --> 01:00:45,640 oh I must have to go there, and then be just impossible to 1186 01:00:45,640 --> 01:00:49,320 navigate because ADHD runs in my family. 1187 01:00:49,320 --> 01:00:52,520 I don't think I have it, but I'm just saying like it's possible. 1188 01:00:52,960 --> 01:00:56,840 It's possible that that's why that's that's why yeah. 1189 01:00:59,680 --> 01:01:02,720 I, you know what, though, Like I, I'm older than you. 1190 01:01:02,720 --> 01:01:04,920 I probably would not. It would probably be the same 1191 01:01:05,280 --> 01:01:08,560 like it just these just were not I've, I've said it before, 1192 01:01:08,560 --> 01:01:14,200 JRPGSRPGS in general. It just wasn't I'm, when this 1193 01:01:14,200 --> 01:01:20,040 came out, I'm, I'm, let's see, roughly 11, maybe 12, depending 1194 01:01:20,040 --> 01:01:22,080 on when I would come across it or whatever. 1195 01:01:22,600 --> 01:01:24,600 It's just not at that age, you're not. 1196 01:01:25,120 --> 01:01:27,160 Yeah, I would have been. Probably speaking, yeah, 1197 01:01:27,160 --> 01:01:31,200 generally speaking, you're not playing those types of games, 1198 01:01:31,760 --> 01:01:33,920 right? Like you might see it and seem 1199 01:01:33,920 --> 01:01:39,440 interested, but how many people at 5810 years old are sinking 1200 01:01:39,440 --> 01:01:42,400 time into like, you know, Chrono Trigger and understanding what 1201 01:01:42,400 --> 01:01:44,240 they're doing Right, right, right. 1202 01:01:44,240 --> 01:01:47,560 Like not me, it's cool, not this good. 100% not me. 1203 01:01:47,560 --> 01:01:49,000 I didn't play that until I was in my 20s. 1204 01:01:49,240 --> 01:01:53,360 So, you know, like there's, there's elements of that here. 1205 01:01:53,360 --> 01:01:55,760 I think you're right. So anyways, body harvest, 1206 01:01:55,760 --> 01:01:59,400 everybody worth a check, see if it works for you, get through 1207 01:01:59,400 --> 01:02:02,160 that first hour and then kind of go from there. 1208 01:02:02,160 --> 01:02:03,360 It's it's worth a try. So. 1209 01:02:04,040 --> 01:02:06,800 Yeah, and keep this in mind because I think it would really 1210 01:02:06,800 --> 01:02:09,080 improve the game. And you hear me out on this 1211 01:02:09,080 --> 01:02:12,680 because I just had this thought. What if there were rings that 1212 01:02:12,680 --> 01:02:14,040 showed you where you needed to go? 1213 01:02:16,320 --> 01:02:19,200 That could have been it. That's. 1214 01:02:19,200 --> 01:02:22,640 The solution? Then why didn't it steal ideas 1215 01:02:22,640 --> 01:02:27,360 from better games like Blast Core, Jeff Force, Gemini? 1216 01:02:27,360 --> 01:02:29,880 And there's one I don't I can't put my finger on. 1217 01:02:29,880 --> 01:02:34,680 What Ring Simulator game exists on this console that they could 1218 01:02:34,680 --> 01:02:36,920 have grabbed that idea from? But I think you're onto 1219 01:02:36,920 --> 01:02:38,960 something. I think you're onto something. 1220 01:02:38,960 --> 01:02:41,320 Yeah, I think I got it. If only, if only man. 1221 01:02:42,360 --> 01:02:44,560 Maybe someone will do a remake and there will be rings 1222 01:02:44,560 --> 01:02:45,880 everywhere. Everywhere. 1223 01:02:46,040 --> 01:02:48,040 Also, that's another thing. Perfect game. 1224 01:02:48,200 --> 01:02:52,520 It's perfection, perfection. This. 1225 01:02:52,640 --> 01:02:55,040 This is one of those games that it'll never happen, but this is 1226 01:02:55,040 --> 01:02:57,400 one of those games that if they remade it, they could do 1227 01:02:57,400 --> 01:02:59,280 something pretty interesting and epic with it. 1228 01:02:59,280 --> 01:03:06,800 I think so we'll see anyways, buddy Harvest, but we have a 1229 01:03:06,800 --> 01:03:10,080 couple of pretty good games also coming up to keep starting up 1230 01:03:10,480 --> 01:03:13,040 2025. Some guests coming up as well 1231 01:03:13,040 --> 01:03:16,720 with a couple of those games, which would be great and some 1232 01:03:16,720 --> 01:03:18,800 big hitter titles as well. More of those. 1233 01:03:18,840 --> 01:03:23,320 So lots to get excited for. For remember 64 until that time, 1234 01:03:23,320 --> 01:03:28,440 Jiggy, what's on the docket in the early little bit of 2025? 1235 01:03:28,440 --> 01:03:31,720 I know we sort of record these ahead of time, but you know, 1236 01:03:31,800 --> 01:03:33,880 what's, what's the dealio? How's it going over there on the 1237 01:03:33,880 --> 01:03:37,040 Youtubes? Oh, on the Youtubes. 1238 01:03:37,040 --> 01:03:39,320 The Youtubes are going great as usual. 1239 01:03:39,680 --> 01:03:41,320 I got a bunch of stuff in the pipeline. 1240 01:03:41,320 --> 01:03:44,440 The biggest thing that probably, well, it'll definitely be out by 1241 01:03:44,440 --> 01:03:45,640 the time this airs. Great. 1242 01:03:46,160 --> 01:03:50,160 This is the latest thing I'm working on is a sort of mini 1243 01:03:50,480 --> 01:03:57,360 like 1520 minute documentary style sort of thing on my 1244 01:03:57,360 --> 01:04:00,880 perspective of the whole Microsoft bio of Rare. 1245 01:04:01,400 --> 01:04:05,120 And if that, it's basically coming from the perspective of 1246 01:04:05,160 --> 01:04:09,680 like I hear everyone all the time say that Microsoft buying 1247 01:04:09,680 --> 01:04:13,840 Rare killed Rare. And I'm kind of like did it 1248 01:04:13,840 --> 01:04:16,440 though. And so you're looking, I'm going 1249 01:04:16,440 --> 01:04:18,920 through and I'm looking into it. I'm diving in. 1250 01:04:18,920 --> 01:04:23,240 I'm looking at like prototype games, Microsoft's influence on 1251 01:04:23,240 --> 01:04:26,840 games that were in development at Nintendo that kind of 1252 01:04:26,840 --> 01:04:28,720 transitioned into Microsoft titles. 1253 01:04:28,840 --> 01:04:31,360 Nice. And then like down the pipeline 1254 01:04:31,560 --> 01:04:35,320 Rare titles that came out and like how Microsoft was involved, 1255 01:04:36,280 --> 01:04:39,600 if that affected anything and just kind of where rares at 1256 01:04:39,640 --> 01:04:44,760 today, which is kind of like an interesting yeah, ACF company, 1257 01:04:44,800 --> 01:04:47,320 yes, essentially. But they did these ever wild for 1258 01:04:47,320 --> 01:04:50,760 this this last holiday which kind of like blew my mind. 1259 01:04:50,760 --> 01:04:53,600 Because we've heard nothing. We've heard nothing of this game 1260 01:04:53,600 --> 01:04:56,200 for years and I'm like, it's probably cancelled. 1261 01:04:56,200 --> 01:04:58,600 They're probably like in typical rare fashion, they show us 1262 01:04:58,600 --> 01:05:00,200 something and then it just never happened. 1263 01:05:00,600 --> 01:05:04,200 Fizzles. Or yeah, Yep, but they just 1264 01:05:04,200 --> 01:05:06,640 randomly released like a happy holidays image. 1265 01:05:06,920 --> 01:05:10,080 I'll send it to you, OK. And it's just ever wild and 1266 01:05:10,080 --> 01:05:12,680 ever. I'm just like how is no one 1267 01:05:12,680 --> 01:05:14,840 talking about this? Am I the only one I'm. 1268 01:05:15,160 --> 01:05:18,080 Like I'm like, I'm the only one that's looking at this right 1269 01:05:18,280 --> 01:05:20,640 now. Maybe that's the problem is you 1270 01:05:20,640 --> 01:05:23,320 are you are the only. One I hope, I hope it comes out 1271 01:05:23,320 --> 01:05:25,240 and I hope it's cool. Yeah, yeah, sure. 1272 01:05:25,480 --> 01:05:26,280 Yeah. Hey, if I'm the. 1273 01:05:26,320 --> 01:05:28,000 Only one? I guess I'm the only one. 1274 01:05:28,080 --> 01:05:30,000 That's that's really cool that you're going through all that 1275 01:05:30,000 --> 01:05:33,760 because it's a little nuance of the industry type of thing, 1276 01:05:33,760 --> 01:05:35,720 right? And that's that's cool. 1277 01:05:35,920 --> 01:05:37,360 I like that stuff. I appreciate that stuff. 1278 01:05:37,360 --> 01:05:39,920 So. It's fun looking at all the like 1279 01:05:40,120 --> 01:05:43,640 prototype footage of games like like hypothetical nice 1280 01:05:43,920 --> 01:05:46,720 prototypes like Cameo was a Game Cube game. 1281 01:05:46,720 --> 01:05:49,080 Yeah, Grab by the Ghoulies was a Game Cube game. 1282 01:05:49,440 --> 01:05:52,320 Seeing all that footage going through Dinosaur Planet, which 1283 01:05:52,320 --> 01:05:55,000 I've been streaming. Yep, the original build of Star 1284 01:05:55,000 --> 01:05:58,160 Fox Adventures, so I will be streaming that as well. 1285 01:05:58,160 --> 01:06:00,920 I'll probably be doing that for the foreseeable future. 1286 01:06:00,920 --> 01:06:04,280 I don't know how many streams I got in me of it, but it's pretty 1287 01:06:04,280 --> 01:06:06,840 fun. So just just cool stuff so. 1288 01:06:07,400 --> 01:06:10,400 Yeah, nice fun. Nothing that elaborate over it 1289 01:06:10,440 --> 01:06:13,880 on the YouTube page for Remember 64, but you can always watch 1290 01:06:13,880 --> 01:06:17,080 video versions of this. I'm I'm also trying to do like 1291 01:06:17,080 --> 01:06:20,160 small things here and there that like, oh, hey, I have a cool 1292 01:06:20,160 --> 01:06:21,760 idea like this. I'm just going to make something 1293 01:06:21,760 --> 01:06:23,040 quickly if I have the time and stuff. 1294 01:06:23,040 --> 01:06:25,600 That's kind of it's just a place to sort of dump different ideas. 1295 01:06:25,960 --> 01:06:32,400 I have a video up of my some of my time playing the HDPC port of 1296 01:06:32,400 --> 01:06:37,680 Star Fox 64. Yeah, it's I have AII basically 1297 01:06:37,680 --> 01:06:41,600 built it as like a comparison. So you can see me playing it on 1298 01:06:41,600 --> 01:06:44,960 the actual cartridge and then you can see above the PC port 1299 01:06:44,960 --> 01:06:47,840 difference. It's all in HD, it's in the 1300 01:06:47,840 --> 01:06:53,520 video, it's not in, you know, 60 frames or 120 frames per second, 1301 01:06:53,520 --> 01:06:59,000 but it's able to run at 120 FPS, which if you're an FPS person, 1302 01:06:59,480 --> 01:07:03,120 it's dude, it's so smooth. The textures are improved, the 1303 01:07:03,120 --> 01:07:08,000 audio's but it's and and you know, every, I would say pretty 1304 01:07:08,000 --> 01:07:09,640 much everybody loves that game, or most people do. 1305 01:07:10,200 --> 01:07:12,960 It's just super worth playing. Yeah, it's worth playing again 1306 01:07:13,200 --> 01:07:14,680 just for that. It takes a couple like, you 1307 01:07:14,680 --> 01:07:18,760 know, you download it from itch dot IO and you you sort of sort 1308 01:07:18,760 --> 01:07:20,600 of play around with a couple of the files that they sort of give 1309 01:07:20,600 --> 01:07:22,360 you the instructions on and you just play it. 1310 01:07:23,000 --> 01:07:24,720 That's it. You play it like you would play 1311 01:07:24,720 --> 01:07:28,120 it normally and and that's it a little bit weird not playing it 1312 01:07:28,120 --> 01:07:30,480 with an N64 controller. I have to say, 'cause I just 1313 01:07:30,480 --> 01:07:34,880 didn't have my USB 64 controller sort of at the ready at the 1314 01:07:34,880 --> 01:07:37,800 time, but yeah, so you. Always have one. 1315 01:07:38,000 --> 01:07:41,280 Yeah, always have one. I have, I have an adapter. 1316 01:07:41,280 --> 01:07:42,600 I have an adapter. That's the thing. 1317 01:07:42,600 --> 01:07:44,880 And I just, you know, it's buried somewhere in my stuff. 1318 01:07:44,880 --> 01:07:50,000 So I so I played it with an Xbox controller, which was odd, but 1319 01:07:50,440 --> 01:07:53,760 it's still Starfox 64. So you know, so you can check 1320 01:07:53,760 --> 01:07:55,160 that out. That's that's a few minutes. 1321 01:07:55,160 --> 01:08:00,120 And then yeah, remember 64 show on Patreon and on social media. 1322 01:08:01,000 --> 01:08:03,280 I will stop talking. Thank you everybody. 1323 01:08:03,360 --> 01:08:05,840 I am exhausted. Thank you for it's been one of 1324 01:08:05,840 --> 01:08:08,960 those days. Great episodes coming up. 1325 01:08:08,960 --> 01:08:11,680 Been one of those six months. It's been one of those six 1326 01:08:11,680 --> 01:08:13,480 months. Today is just another one of 1327 01:08:13,480 --> 01:08:15,680 those six months. Out of all the six months, the 1328 01:08:15,680 --> 01:08:18,479 last six months was one of them. OK, everybody, thanks so much 1329 01:08:18,479 --> 01:08:19,960 for joining us. Yeah, I don't know. 1330 01:08:20,720 --> 01:08:21,960 Talk to you next time, everyone. Cheers. 1331 01:08:22,080 --> 01:08:23,120 Thank you. Bye.
