The goal is to save the Galaxy 48 00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:12,440 from the evil My Czar or Mizar. I really should have checked 49 00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:15,520 that and save tribal members who have been captured. 50 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,640 Lead programmer for the game Paul Mountain was a little bit 51 00:03:18,640 --> 00:03:21,800 newer to Rare than now juggernaut developers, he said. 52 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:25,000 Quote I joined Rare as a software engineer graduate in 53 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:28,560 1996, just one year before you started working on Jetforce 54 00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:32,120 Gemini and he was working at that time at Diddy Kong Racing. 55 00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:36,480 He goes on to say, quote An equal measure of the behavior of 56 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:39,960 the bad guys in Jetforce was a mixture of arcade space shooter 57 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:43,480 formations and Quake style attack and cover mechanics. 58 00:03:43,950 --> 00:03:46,750 Super Metroid was also an influence on some areas of the 59 00:03:46,750 --> 00:03:49,870 game, such as collecting, upgrading, and unlocking 60 00:03:49,870 --> 00:03:52,550 weapons. Throughout the development of 61 00:03:52,550 --> 00:03:55,150 Jetforce Gemini, the team described very little 62 00:03:55,150 --> 00:03:57,550 interference from Nintendo along the way. 63 00:03:57,910 --> 00:04:00,670 Sure, there were suggestions, some checks and balances, and 64 00:04:00,670 --> 00:04:03,550 some thumbs up or thumbs down discussions that happens along 65 00:04:03,550 --> 00:04:05,780 the way. Fair enough, but the artistic 66 00:04:05,780 --> 00:04:08,940 and technological changes that were made were largely done 67 00:04:09,140 --> 00:04:12,140 because those working on the title started to really hone in 68 00:04:12,140 --> 00:04:16,540 on their skills and show just how far they could push the N64. 69 00:04:17,579 --> 00:04:20,660 Now, if you've played the game before, you may or may not like 70 00:04:20,660 --> 00:04:23,340 or remember liking the way that it controlled. 71 00:04:24,060 --> 00:04:26,420 We're going to talk about the center discussion in just a few 72 00:04:26,420 --> 00:04:28,980 minutes, but the choice to have a third person view that 73 00:04:28,980 --> 00:04:33,300 switched into a sort of 1.5 first person with manual aiming 74 00:04:33,300 --> 00:04:35,680 was definitely intentional, Rare says. 75 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:37,920 With the analog stick, it allowed them to create a more 76 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:41,120 precise control scheme for players, and while it might feel 77 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:45,040 a little bit dated, lead artist Lee Musgrave says the difficulty 78 00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:48,480 and freedom mixed in were exactly what they were trying to 79 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:51,760 balance. After months of play testing, 80 00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:55,080 other playable characters were added to the roster with their 81 00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:57,920 own unique abilities. At first it was only Juno that 82 00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:00,880 you could suit up, as then his sister came along and then there 83 00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:03,530 was a trusty Dog Lupus Jeff Force. 84 00:05:03,530 --> 00:05:08,250 Gemini was a hit and flew off store shelves in 1999 and early 85 00:05:08,250 --> 00:05:12,810 2000 with big competition now here from a newly released Sega 86 00:05:12,810 --> 00:05:16,170 console in the Dreamcast, the sales weren't necessarily a 87 00:05:16,170 --> 00:05:19,610 surprise, but interviews with Rare point to the fact that they 88 00:05:19,610 --> 00:05:21,450 were a little bit worried internally. 89 00:05:22,250 --> 00:05:25,090 Reviews at the time pointed out that the game really did push 90 00:05:25,090 --> 00:05:27,730 the console's limits, but could have taken advantage of the 91 00:05:27,770 --> 00:05:29,850 about to be released expansion pack. 92 00:05:30,380 --> 00:05:34,500 Now, Rare decided against that because they knew at launch not 93 00:05:34,500 --> 00:05:37,900 many players would have it in their hands just yet. 94 00:05:39,100 --> 00:05:42,380 A Game Boy Color version of the game was in development by a 95 00:05:42,380 --> 00:05:47,100 studio called Bit Studios in 2000, but shortly after was 96 00:05:47,220 --> 00:05:49,340 canceled. The port was expected to have an 97 00:05:49,340 --> 00:05:54,370 isometric 2D view according to a former Rare designer, Martin 98 00:05:54,370 --> 00:05:56,690 Wakely. Jeff Force Gemini on the color 99 00:05:56,690 --> 00:05:59,970 was quote the only occasion I can actually remember Rare 100 00:05:59,970 --> 00:06:03,090 outsourcing anything.

I think so. 135 00:08:38,070 --> 00:08:41,270 I mean, I got a couple Ant heads to show about it. 136 00:08:41,549 --> 00:08:43,070 Yes, exactly. There you go. 137 00:08:43,070 --> 00:08:45,820 Exactly. So we'll jump in because I think 138 00:08:45,820 --> 00:08:47,500 there's a decent amount to talk about with this game. 139 00:08:47,500 --> 00:08:51,900 I mean, it's another one of those big Ted pull rare titles I 140 00:08:51,900 --> 00:08:53,700 think. And you know, I don't want to 141 00:08:53,700 --> 00:08:56,660 shortchange anything like this because it is, it's a pretty 142 00:08:56,660 --> 00:08:58,780 special title. There's a bit of a history to go 143 00:08:58,780 --> 00:09:02,380 with it. And did you have a history with 144 00:09:02,380 --> 00:09:05,420 this game going back to when you were younger, or is it something 145 00:09:05,420 --> 00:09:07,660 again that maybe you played a little bit later or just knew 146 00:09:07,700 --> 00:09:09,300 of? So. 147 00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:11,880 The second one, a little more, but okay. 148 00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:15,400 So my relationship with this game is a little complicated 149 00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:21,600 because obviously I'm a big rare fan and I've I had it in my N64 150 00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:25,160 collection as a kid and I did not play too much of it. 151 00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:30,200 I mean, I played, I think, I don't even think I unlocked Vela 152 00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:32,560 like I was. I just played as Juno and I 153 00:09:32,560 --> 00:09:37,380 remember getting to a specific. Area and I got to it again and I 154 00:09:37,380 --> 00:09:40,100 remembered this area because when I was a kid it actually 155 00:09:40,100 --> 00:09:46,180 scared me and it was it. It's like an abandoned church 156 00:09:46,260 --> 00:09:49,140 and there's like the the guy out there that plays like he's like, 157 00:09:49,140 --> 00:09:51,660 oh, what have I done? And he like plays a memory for 158 00:09:51,660 --> 00:09:56,780 you and like of him like turning the the Ant people into zombies 159 00:09:56,780 --> 00:09:58,460 and every zombies. Yeah, yeah. 160 00:09:58,580 --> 00:10:02,540 So that scared me as a kid and I think I stopped playing there. 161 00:10:03,020 --> 00:10:05,900 And I just never went back to it until now. 162 00:10:05,940 --> 00:10:10,020 And I'm like, I don't know. It was also kind of hard for me. 163 00:10:10,100 --> 00:10:12,900 I remember like, when I first played it, I was like, this is 164 00:10:12,900 --> 00:10:15,020 really hard. And it wasn't something. 165 00:10:15,060 --> 00:10:19,900 And even now I was like this is really hard like well, that 166 00:10:19,900 --> 00:10:23,220 that's not, that's not an uncommon feeling. 167 00:10:23,220 --> 00:10:26,180 I think it seems like online that is, you know, I think they 168 00:10:26,180 --> 00:10:27,340 were going for that a little bit. 169 00:10:27,340 --> 00:10:28,780 It wasn't supposed to be walk in the park. 170 00:10:28,780 --> 00:10:30,660 But you're not alone, that's for sure. 171 00:10:30,740 --> 00:10:32,740 So. Yeah, it's definitely no. 172 00:10:33,170 --> 00:10:36,970 Banjo or conqueror that I could pick up and really go through. 173 00:10:36,970 --> 00:10:40,850 I mean there's there's a lot of thought involved in this game. 174 00:10:40,850 --> 00:10:43,610 I feel like even your play style, how you're playing, 175 00:10:44,450 --> 00:10:47,010 keeping track of where you are in the level. 176 00:10:48,090 --> 00:10:51,010 I I still I I don't know if we want to just get into it. 177 00:10:51,010 --> 00:10:54,570 We could start right from the beginning before we get into the 178 00:10:54,570 --> 00:10:58,930 levels because I really want to talk about the intro and 179 00:10:58,930 --> 00:11:05,050 specifically that theme music. Oh my gosh, yeah, so, so I I 180 00:11:05,050 --> 00:11:08,890 actually have a not, not too different story than yours. 181 00:11:08,890 --> 00:11:11,690 Going back, I think I mentioned to you mentioned this to you 182 00:11:11,690 --> 00:11:13,570 like a few weeks ago when we first said we were going to play 183 00:11:13,570 --> 00:11:17,250 this game, I was like, I think I played the first like 2 stages, 184 00:11:17,490 --> 00:11:22,330 yeah, and maybe one of the other stages as Lupus because my buddy 185 00:11:22,330 --> 00:11:23,930 unlocked it. I never owned this game, but I 186 00:11:23,930 --> 00:11:26,690 played it a decent amount at my friend's place. 187 00:11:26,690 --> 00:11:28,600 Who had it? And it would be like, I'm gonna 188 00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:29,960 play level, we're gonna play level. 189 00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:32,600 And then inevitably, this was the household where I've told 190 00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:36,000 the story before in other episodes, but where we would 191 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,280 just take this cartridge out and then the four of us would just 192 00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:40,160 play Rampage for the next like 5. 193 00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:41,840 There you go. And then go, like, all the way 194 00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:43,600 to the end, yeah. Rampage is great. 195 00:11:44,090 --> 00:11:44,970 It is. It's excellent. 196 00:11:45,130 --> 00:11:48,770 It was great it you know we that for whatever reason it was that 197 00:11:48,770 --> 00:11:51,450 group of the four of us that always played a Rampage and then 198 00:11:51,450 --> 00:11:53,970 when we went to one of the other guys houses in this same group 199 00:11:53,970 --> 00:11:57,650 of friends it was Goldeneye and it was the other Mario parties 200 00:11:57,650 --> 00:12:00,410 and like things like that. For whatever reason Rampage took 201 00:12:00,410 --> 00:12:02,450 over Jetforce Gemini for us in this one household. 202 00:12:02,450 --> 00:12:06,770 But as as far as playing through it not even close not even 203 00:12:06,770 --> 00:12:09,490 close. I I like you said the music. 204 00:12:09,610 --> 00:12:13,990 I I still remember like when when that when I hit start or 205 00:12:14,510 --> 00:12:19,510 you know the the game booted up and that that splash page just 206 00:12:19,510 --> 00:12:22,750 comes on where it has the logo and then running and stuff That 207 00:12:22,750 --> 00:12:27,790 music, not only do I think it's it's so well done and it's very 208 00:12:27,790 --> 00:12:31,270 like orchestral and very, very awesome. 209 00:12:31,270 --> 00:12:36,270 I'd say I immediately it took me back, took me back immediately. 210 00:12:36,270 --> 00:12:38,790 So yeah, so you wanted to talk about it. 211 00:12:38,790 --> 00:12:40,870 What's What do you think? So. 212 00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,440 So the first thing I wanted to say was, and you probably know 213 00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:47,840 this, but the fact that it was first a conquer soundtrack 214 00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:50,280 thing. Like it was first a theme used 215 00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:54,560 in Conquer 12 or 12 tales. Conquer 64, which is just a cool 216 00:12:54,560 --> 00:12:57,840 little tidbit there. But there's actually like people 217 00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:01,800 had like the the footage of the game and you can be in the Roman 218 00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:04,160 Colosseum and it plays the Jetforce Gemini theme and 219 00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:08,120 everyone's like, wait a minute. So that's yeah, so that's super 220 00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:09,840 cool. I just like that and I feel. 221 00:13:10,460 --> 00:13:13,420 It does have a very even. All the music honestly has a 222 00:13:13,420 --> 00:13:17,420 very rare feel to it. You don't realize that that 223 00:13:17,420 --> 00:13:20,140 feel. I don't know if it's like, it's 224 00:13:20,140 --> 00:13:24,500 like the brass in combination with the like really cynthy 225 00:13:24,500 --> 00:13:27,500 sounding stuff, like a lot of rare music. 226 00:13:27,620 --> 00:13:31,220 And actually, a lot of the sound effects in this game, I can 227 00:13:31,220 --> 00:13:35,740 tell, are either reused assets or they're made in a very 228 00:13:35,740 --> 00:13:38,590 similar way. Because even things like Juno, 229 00:13:38,590 --> 00:13:41,310 like walking in lava or something makes a splashy noise. 230 00:13:41,310 --> 00:13:45,150 I'm like, hey, I know that noise and I'm like kazooie like it's 231 00:13:45,150 --> 00:13:47,870 the same, you know. So I was getting a lot of that. 232 00:13:47,870 --> 00:13:53,350 But that theme definitely is. It is iconic and even going 233 00:13:53,550 --> 00:13:55,750 further a little bit, but not too much because there is 234 00:13:55,750 --> 00:13:58,390 something else I want to talk about that like opening screen, 235 00:13:59,350 --> 00:14:03,870 the character, select screen, dude, that music, that's. 236 00:14:04,770 --> 00:14:08,010 That might be Top 10 rare. Like, I even appreciate it. 237 00:14:08,050 --> 00:14:10,970 I love the theme song of this game, but that character select 238 00:14:10,970 --> 00:14:13,850 music, there's something so epic about it. 239 00:14:14,210 --> 00:14:21,570 It's Dun Dun Dun Dun. It's like, so like Star Wars Z. 240 00:14:21,570 --> 00:14:23,250 Like, it's exactly what I was going to say. 241 00:14:23,530 --> 00:14:26,490 It is Star Wars. It's like Darth Vader. 242 00:14:26,490 --> 00:14:28,690 Like coming in and you're like Dawn. 243 00:14:28,850 --> 00:14:32,250 Dawn turns the lightsaber. Yeah, but it's, you know, 244 00:14:32,250 --> 00:14:35,850 instead of instead of a dude in a black Cape and a big robotic 245 00:14:35,850 --> 00:14:38,130 suit, it's a little dog with a machine gun strapped to his 246 00:14:38,130 --> 00:14:40,410 back. I mean, that's just as epic, I 247 00:14:40,410 --> 00:14:42,930 would say. Yeah, pretty epic. 248 00:14:42,970 --> 00:14:46,890 I mean, yeah, no, it's true. Cuz cuz again when we were 249 00:14:46,970 --> 00:14:49,770 messaging back and forth about it, I think you started playing 250 00:14:49,770 --> 00:14:52,580 a little bit before me and you said, oh, just be prepared for 251 00:14:52,580 --> 00:14:55,180 the character select screen. I did say that, didn't I? 252 00:14:55,180 --> 00:14:58,180 And I was like, I was trying to remember it when you said that 253 00:14:58,180 --> 00:15:01,140 because actually I when you said that the the theme music 254 00:15:01,380 --> 00:15:04,380 actually cute in my head pretty similarly to what it is, but not 255 00:15:04,380 --> 00:15:06,020 exactly. It was like, Oh yeah, I think I 256 00:15:06,020 --> 00:15:07,460 remember what the theme music is, OK. 257 00:15:07,900 --> 00:15:10,060 And then I played, I think later that night or the next morning 258 00:15:10,060 --> 00:15:11,260 or something, I started playing it. 259 00:15:11,660 --> 00:15:16,380 And yeah, the second you get to even, it's just judo running on 260 00:15:16,380 --> 00:15:18,380 on the treadmill thing. Like even just that. 261 00:15:18,910 --> 00:15:21,390 It's not epic because there's epic things going on. 262 00:15:21,550 --> 00:15:25,910 It's just flat out epic shit in your face. 263 00:15:53,010 --> 00:15:55,810 It just goes fucking hard and it's great. 264 00:15:56,370 --> 00:15:59,130 Yeah, it's awesome. And even just the little touches 265 00:15:59,130 --> 00:16:03,010 in that menu of like, so you said they're running on 266 00:16:03,010 --> 00:16:05,330 treadmills, so every character is just running on a treadmill. 267 00:16:05,890 --> 00:16:08,690 They pull up a symbol like to the left of them that's supposed 268 00:16:08,690 --> 00:16:11,330 to represent them, which honestly, I could never keep 269 00:16:11,330 --> 00:16:13,810 track of which one was which. Yeah, they look a little too 270 00:16:13,850 --> 00:16:15,930 similar. I was like that's kind of a 271 00:16:16,330 --> 00:16:18,680 missed thing. But I thought it was cool that 272 00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:21,440 they show like for some reason like an X-ray of their body or 273 00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:25,480 something on the right. And it's bizarre, but it's it 274 00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:27,040 kind of fits that. I don't know. 275 00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:29,560 They're just this is how they're doing, this is their health. 276 00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:32,640 This is their like their body is like their condition. 277 00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:36,200 And I was like it just kind of adds like a weird like sci-fi E 278 00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:37,340 kind of. Yeah. 279 00:16:37,340 --> 00:16:40,500 Just adds to the labor of the fact that you are somewhere else 280 00:16:40,500 --> 00:16:44,420 in the Galaxy and this is the technology they have. 281 00:16:44,420 --> 00:16:47,740 And you know, I think I think it'd be cool if that was reused 282 00:16:47,740 --> 00:16:50,340 somewhere else in the game. Like maybe that was your health 283 00:16:50,340 --> 00:16:52,380 bar or something. I I'm fine with the way that the 284 00:16:52,380 --> 00:16:54,140 health works in this game doesn't bother me or anything. 285 00:16:54,140 --> 00:16:59,340 But but if like I don't know part of the health logo was was 286 00:16:59,340 --> 00:17:01,900 that like the body maybe they couldn't pull it off. 287 00:17:01,980 --> 00:17:04,420 Maybe just too much power they would need to to kind of do that 288 00:17:04,420 --> 00:17:05,980 while the game is running and everything. 289 00:17:05,980 --> 00:17:09,940 But yeah, it's just another layer of detail that's really 290 00:17:09,940 --> 00:17:11,780 they didn't have to do. You could have just had their 291 00:17:11,780 --> 00:17:14,540 face with that music and it still would have been cool, but 292 00:17:14,540 --> 00:17:17,060 there's a lot going on. They're on like a ship and you 293 00:17:17,060 --> 00:17:18,660 know, the treadmill like we said, and you could. 294 00:17:18,780 --> 00:17:20,859 And when you spin around and pick the different characters, 295 00:17:20,859 --> 00:17:24,060 the whole thing shifts as if you're, you know, moving around 296 00:17:24,060 --> 00:17:27,380 the room and like all these mechanical sounds are happening. 297 00:17:27,380 --> 00:17:31,100 It's a lot of detail going on in something that really you just 298 00:17:31,580 --> 00:17:33,900 flick the joystick a couple times and press A and you move 299 00:17:33,900 --> 00:17:36,020 on and it's like it's it's great. 300 00:17:36,490 --> 00:17:40,130 Functionally the same as Donkey Kong 64, but it's so much. 301 00:17:40,890 --> 00:17:43,810 I mean, as much as I love that character select just because 302 00:17:43,810 --> 00:17:46,850 the characters like call out each other, it's kind of funny, 303 00:17:47,130 --> 00:17:51,330 but it has charm. Excuse me, it has charm but Jet 304 00:17:51,330 --> 00:17:54,570 Forces is just. It's so over the top for what it 305 00:17:54,570 --> 00:17:59,370 is, right? Yeah, over the top Scifi and and 306 00:17:59,450 --> 00:18:01,570 there's other over the top details that we'll get into and 307 00:18:01,570 --> 00:18:04,410 stuff, but. That was somebody's job and they 308 00:18:04,410 --> 00:18:06,410 went hard. They're like, yeah, this is the 309 00:18:06,410 --> 00:18:07,850 one thing I'm doing in that game. 310 00:18:08,330 --> 00:18:10,570 This is it. Yeah, you know, it's gonna kick 311 00:18:10,570 --> 00:18:13,570 so much ass. No one's gonna play this game. 312 00:18:13,570 --> 00:18:15,330 They're just gonna sit at this menu. 313 00:18:17,770 --> 00:18:21,430 I even looking on Reddit like. I'm in a lot of like, rare game 314 00:18:21,430 --> 00:18:24,030 forums and everything and going in it, that was one thing that 315 00:18:24,030 --> 00:18:27,310 somebody said they're like that character select screen is easy 316 00:18:27,310 --> 00:18:29,590 top ten. And I'm like it is yeah. 317 00:18:29,830 --> 00:18:33,070 Yeah I I cannot disagree. I think the music in general in 318 00:18:33,070 --> 00:18:35,390 this game is great. Again like you said a lot of 319 00:18:35,390 --> 00:18:37,190 rare games are like that. I think. 320 00:18:37,230 --> 00:18:39,870 I think it's, it's be hard pressed to find one that isn't 321 00:18:39,870 --> 00:18:42,830 at least, you know enjoyable on some of the stages. 322 00:18:43,670 --> 00:18:45,470 And they're not. None of them are throwaway. 323 00:18:45,470 --> 00:18:48,700 And you know, on top of that we'll get into like playing the 324 00:18:48,700 --> 00:18:51,260 game itself and stuff too. But as far as sound goes, since 325 00:18:51,260 --> 00:18:54,380 you're on that topic, there's a lot of voice acting in this, 326 00:18:54,660 --> 00:18:58,820 which yeah, I didn't. It's not a ton, but there's some 327 00:18:58,820 --> 00:19:01,980 every once in a while that you get, there's some like and when 328 00:19:01,980 --> 00:19:05,300 you don't, you get some like sound effects of when everyone 329 00:19:05,300 --> 00:19:07,660 talks kind of like, you know Banjo Kazooie, things like that 330 00:19:07,660 --> 00:19:11,940 little and like that's a little like personality thing. 331 00:19:11,940 --> 00:19:15,500 So like, you know, they went for it on all the different levels, 332 00:19:15,500 --> 00:19:19,620 I think. And and you know, whether 333 00:19:19,620 --> 00:19:21,500 someone's talking or whether you're reading it, whether the 334 00:19:21,500 --> 00:19:24,340 sound effects or not, when someone's actually talking, the 335 00:19:24,340 --> 00:19:27,900 writing is really kind of fun and cheeky and everything. 336 00:19:28,020 --> 00:19:32,420 Too like, so before we get to say, I just wanted to bring up 337 00:19:32,420 --> 00:19:35,980 yeah, sorry, I'm everywhere. Well, there's so much to talk 338 00:19:35,980 --> 00:19:38,700 about because there's so many different little details and. 339 00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:41,640 Try to cover it all. Yeah, there's layers. 340 00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:45,520 That's a good way of putting it. So in that in that first title 341 00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:50,320 sequence screen it's so cool how depending on how far you are in 342 00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:53,760 the game, the title sequence like changes like what's 343 00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:56,120 happening on screen. So so you start at the 344 00:19:56,120 --> 00:19:59,160 beginning, it's just Juno running and then it's like as 345 00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:02,800 you unlock the characters they show up on the title screen and 346 00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:05,680 then depending how far you get like at one point you get. 347 00:20:06,450 --> 00:20:08,810 Better armor and stuff and then it replaces them and then they 348 00:20:08,810 --> 00:20:12,370 all have their different outfits on and it's just it's just a 349 00:20:12,370 --> 00:20:18,010 cool little touch that I don't know I've it's just it's just 350 00:20:18,010 --> 00:20:20,850 neat it it adds another another layer to it. 351 00:20:20,850 --> 00:20:23,330 It just it makes you feel like you progressed and that your 352 00:20:23,330 --> 00:20:27,650 team is more you know, I don't. Know exactly yeah I and and I 353 00:20:27,650 --> 00:20:30,050 kind of. So I mostly played this. 354 00:20:30,050 --> 00:20:32,530 I have the cartridge and I I played it I think. 355 00:20:33,090 --> 00:20:35,650 I don't know three or four stages or something like that on 356 00:20:35,690 --> 00:20:38,050 on the 64. And I was like, I'm going to try 357 00:20:38,050 --> 00:20:42,370 it on the Rare Replay because I have that, I have Game Pass and 358 00:20:42,450 --> 00:20:45,530 it has all these games on it. And I heard it helps with the 359 00:20:45,530 --> 00:20:47,850 control scheme, which you know can be hit and miss depending on 360 00:20:47,850 --> 00:20:49,370 how you how you like the game and everything. 361 00:20:49,370 --> 00:20:52,770 But it's not a huge difference. Honestly, we'll get into that. 362 00:20:52,770 --> 00:20:59,050 But I didn't remember all that much about that detail that 363 00:20:59,050 --> 00:21:01,970 you're talking about with the with the title screen, because. 364 00:21:02,430 --> 00:21:05,870 On the Xbox, you can just put your Xbox to sleep and the game 365 00:21:05,870 --> 00:21:08,870 goes on suspend, and then you can just pick up where you left 366 00:21:08,870 --> 00:21:12,270 off, Like you press pause, I'll turn the Xbox off and that's it. 367 00:21:12,350 --> 00:21:14,430 It's basically like putting your Switch, pressing the power 368 00:21:14,430 --> 00:21:16,190 button on your Switch. Kind of the same idea, right? 369 00:21:16,830 --> 00:21:18,550 You know, modern consoles, they all have that now. 370 00:21:18,550 --> 00:21:22,830 So yeah, I forgot about that. And then I had to restart the 371 00:21:22,830 --> 00:21:24,550 Xbox for an update or something like that. 372 00:21:24,550 --> 00:21:28,190 And then I opened it back up and this was like after I had Lupus. 373 00:21:28,190 --> 00:21:30,670 So this is like, you know, a couple hours later at this 374 00:21:30,670 --> 00:21:32,750 point. And they're all on the screen. 375 00:21:32,750 --> 00:21:35,510 They're in a different spot. Like one of the other stages is 376 00:21:35,510 --> 00:21:37,870 like, yeah, this is great. I forgot about this. 377 00:21:38,350 --> 00:21:41,310 Yeah, it's just a little. It's a little thing, but it's 378 00:21:41,630 --> 00:21:43,670 cool. It was a nice surprise. 379 00:21:43,950 --> 00:21:44,870 Yeah. It was a nice surprise. 380 00:21:44,910 --> 00:21:46,150 Yeah. Okay. 381 00:21:46,710 --> 00:21:47,350 Yeah. Go ahead. 382 00:21:47,350 --> 00:21:50,910 Go ahead, I was gonna say. Should we move into how the game 383 00:21:50,910 --> 00:21:52,230 looks? Because yeah. 384 00:21:52,270 --> 00:21:54,430 Let's do it, man. I'm kind of curious. 385 00:21:55,360 --> 00:22:00,200 I'm kind of curious of the Rare Replay situation because I I 386 00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:04,320 only played it on the 64 and there's a couple thing and I'm 387 00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:07,840 going to incorporate performance with the graphics because I feel 388 00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:12,560 like they go hand in hand. I mean they're like graphically 389 00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:16,000 it's okay to me. I can't. 390 00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:19,480 I I've heard people say, oh it's a great looking Rare game and 391 00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:22,770 I'm like I there are some aspects of it. 392 00:22:22,770 --> 00:22:23,970 I'm like wow, this looks really good. 393 00:22:23,970 --> 00:22:26,330 And then other aspects I'm like that looks kind of goofy. 394 00:22:26,850 --> 00:22:32,010 And the the big thing that I I couldn't seem to get over, it 395 00:22:32,010 --> 00:22:34,850 was particularly with Juno, is his legs. 396 00:22:34,850 --> 00:22:42,690 When he runs, they're they're very square and they move in a 397 00:22:42,690 --> 00:22:47,870 weird like diagonal like kind of ice skating look. 398 00:22:48,550 --> 00:22:50,350 I got it. I know exactly what it looks 399 00:22:50,350 --> 00:22:53,630 like. Judo runs like Ezra Miller as 400 00:22:53,630 --> 00:22:57,590 The Flash. That kind of like ice skating, 401 00:22:57,590 --> 00:22:59,790 kind of like why? Is he swinging? 402 00:22:59,790 --> 00:23:02,230 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Why is he running like that? 403 00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:03,800 You know, yeah, it's like it's a whole. 404 00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:06,160 It's a, I mean, running is a full body experience. 405 00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:07,880 But when you watch him run, compared to the other 406 00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:12,160 characters, yeah, it's like a full body, arms, legs, kind of 407 00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:12,920 look at that. Yeah. 408 00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:14,440 No, that's a good point. It is what it is. 409 00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:16,040 He's really the only one that I mean. 410 00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:18,400 The other two look fine when they're running, so I don't. 411 00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:21,920 Know especially especially Lupus like it's he doesn't actually 412 00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:24,440 looks actually looks pretty good I think his motion and 413 00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:27,080 everything is pretty good yeah So as far as as far as the 414 00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:29,880 graphics go I think for the most part yeah I like it. 415 00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:32,110 I like. You know, the design of of the 416 00:23:32,150 --> 00:23:34,830 enemies I think is unique enough and everything, all of that 417 00:23:34,830 --> 00:23:36,430 stuff is fine. But that's that's like art 418 00:23:36,430 --> 00:23:40,350 style, you know, that's design. That's not necessarily what the 419 00:23:40,350 --> 00:23:45,030 detail is sort of speak. So like, I think that like the 420 00:23:45,030 --> 00:23:47,950 way things move and everything, like Juno for example, and and 421 00:23:48,190 --> 00:23:50,190 and and Vela too. Vela. 422 00:23:50,190 --> 00:23:51,190 Vela. Vela. 423 00:23:52,030 --> 00:23:53,510 Vela. Yeah, that's. 424 00:23:53,510 --> 00:23:56,510 Yeah. I'm questioning myself because I 425 00:23:56,510 --> 00:23:59,790 get things wrong. The names, the names are crazy. 426 00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:05,920 They know Lupus Vela. But then the best part is that 427 00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:09,360 the tribal leader is named Jeff. Yes, yes, you know. 428 00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:11,920 His brothers like Bobby or something like I don't have 429 00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:13,800 something like that. I don't know, Barry, I think. 430 00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:15,160 Barry, that's it. Yeah. 431 00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:18,040 OK. Yeah, we'll get into that a 432 00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:19,840 little bit later, but. Yes, we will. 433 00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:22,600 Yeah. So I think, yeah, so when I was, 434 00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:25,680 when I was watching sort of some of the animations and things 435 00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:28,160 like that. I think most of the details 436 00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:30,760 seems like all the little grunts, all the little ants, are 437 00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:34,880 the ones that have the most like distinctive running and stuff 438 00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:36,560 that kind of hunched over when they run and then when they 439 00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:38,560 shoot, some of them might be propped up a little bit. 440 00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:41,160 The guys with the Shields use their Shields in different ways 441 00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:44,400 depending on which one it is. The big guys look different, but 442 00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:46,240 they kind of don't move or anything, or at least most of 443 00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:49,200 them don't. But then like Juno and Valor are 444 00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:51,960 running and it looks like I to me it was like it looks like 445 00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:54,040 they're running on ice, You know, that's that's kind of what 446 00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:56,440 it looked like. Especially when you're strafing, 447 00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:59,960 when you're kind of strafing, it's like, oh, their legs move 448 00:24:59,960 --> 00:25:02,640 but their upper body doesn't. So like their legs turn to the 449 00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:05,120 left or the right, but their body's facing forward. 450 00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:08,600 And you know, I, you know, it is what it is. 451 00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:12,160 I it's a yeah exactly thing, but it does look awkward if you 452 00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:16,480 really look at it. I think though that I think for 453 00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:19,040 the most part, the rest of the game is is pretty good. 454 00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:22,440 I think, yeah, I like the way it looked. 455 00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:24,440 I don't think it's it's one of the best. 456 00:25:25,260 --> 00:25:29,140 But it's unique and I think that's why it stands out is 457 00:25:29,140 --> 00:25:33,100 because it definitely does not based on character design and 458 00:25:33,100 --> 00:25:36,900 weapons and stages and the way all of that stuff is structured 459 00:25:36,900 --> 00:25:39,460 together in the story and how you progress through all these 460 00:25:39,460 --> 00:25:41,980 stages and everything. I think that's why it stands out 461 00:25:42,260 --> 00:25:44,700 and that's why people might say like, Oh yeah, This is why this 462 00:25:44,700 --> 00:25:47,940 game is has its own unique style and all that kind of stuff. 463 00:25:47,940 --> 00:25:51,140 So I think that's what it is for me is I appreciate that, but as 464 00:25:51,140 --> 00:25:53,850 far as the way you know. The the colors and the 465 00:25:53,850 --> 00:25:56,890 animations and whatever, it's good, but it's not fantastic. 466 00:25:56,890 --> 00:25:59,330 So I I'm not too far off on you. Yeah. 467 00:25:59,530 --> 00:26:02,090 Yeah. And I will say that this is one 468 00:26:02,090 --> 00:26:05,650 of those games on the N64 that I was like, Oh my gosh, my 469 00:26:05,650 --> 00:26:09,730 shadow's an actual shadow, which I don't know why I always look 470 00:26:09,730 --> 00:26:12,970 for that because I'm so used to like even, you know, occurring 471 00:26:12,970 --> 00:26:14,970 of time, you have two little things for your feet. 472 00:26:15,690 --> 00:26:19,050 Mario 64, it's just a black circle, you know, It's just a 473 00:26:19,050 --> 00:26:22,620 thing with platformers you get And later on in the 64 life, 474 00:26:22,620 --> 00:26:25,580 they actually became shadows. And I was like, I just, I always 475 00:26:25,580 --> 00:26:26,900 see that and I'm like, that's awesome. 476 00:26:27,340 --> 00:26:30,900 Yeah it's it's just one of those added things that they put in 477 00:26:30,900 --> 00:26:34,300 and like one of the reasons why at the time all the the sort of 478 00:26:34,300 --> 00:26:36,100 the some of the research that I've been doing so far in the 479 00:26:36,100 --> 00:26:40,540 game is that you know, you're mentioning performance. 480 00:26:41,060 --> 00:26:45,060 There was performance issues especially on the console on on 481 00:26:45,060 --> 00:26:47,260 the rare replay. I think I found some like it's 482 00:26:47,260 --> 00:26:50,770 funny I found some bugs. But nothing that was game 483 00:26:50,770 --> 00:26:53,610 breaking and no major performance issues, but that's 484 00:26:53,610 --> 00:26:56,170 because now it's been ported over and they've kind of gone 485 00:26:56,170 --> 00:26:57,730 over the code and that whatever, right? 486 00:26:58,010 --> 00:27:01,610 But this game definitely could have benefited from having the 487 00:27:01,610 --> 00:27:05,330 expansion pack because it really would have given the console a 488 00:27:05,330 --> 00:27:07,770 little bit of an extra boost. And I didn't run into any of it, 489 00:27:07,770 --> 00:27:11,170 but I spent most of my time playing on rare replays, so 490 00:27:11,770 --> 00:27:14,130 that's why I didn't hit it. So it sounds like you ran into 491 00:27:14,130 --> 00:27:15,410 some stuff. Yeah. 492 00:27:15,410 --> 00:27:20,530 So nothing, no glitches or anything that really held me 493 00:27:20,530 --> 00:27:27,210 back other than like 2 times I did have my game freeze, which I 494 00:27:27,890 --> 00:27:30,770 I'm not. I don't have that very often on 495 00:27:30,770 --> 00:27:34,450 the 64 and I don't like, I remember it as a kid happening. 496 00:27:34,650 --> 00:27:36,570 It's just a thing with the console, you know? 497 00:27:36,570 --> 00:27:40,130 Occasionally, like your game would just freeze and stop, you 498 00:27:40,130 --> 00:27:42,670 know, and so. And there's no way to do 499 00:27:42,670 --> 00:27:45,150 anything about it on a console. You just hit the reset button 500 00:27:45,150 --> 00:27:49,030 and I was so tick though, because it was during a moment. 501 00:27:49,070 --> 00:27:51,310 The well, the last one I remember was during a moment I 502 00:27:51,310 --> 00:27:54,750 was trying to collect all the tribals and I got to like the 503 00:27:54,750 --> 00:28:00,270 last one or two and the game froze and I was so mad I had to 504 00:28:00,270 --> 00:28:05,270 stop playing for like probably 3045 minutes because I was just 505 00:28:05,390 --> 00:28:08,550 frustrated. I'm like of all times why 506 00:28:08,550 --> 00:28:09,870 couldn't it have happened at the beginning. 507 00:28:09,870 --> 00:28:11,590 It had to happen when I was close to the end. 508 00:28:12,230 --> 00:28:15,310 So but but that is that is more of a fluke. 509 00:28:15,310 --> 00:28:17,990 That's not telling of the performance of the game. 510 00:28:18,390 --> 00:28:22,750 The things I did encounter were like in rooms where there were a 511 00:28:22,750 --> 00:28:25,710 lot of enemies coming at you or a lot of drones specifically. 512 00:28:25,710 --> 00:28:29,910 I think when they would fly at you and the frame rate would dip 513 00:28:31,310 --> 00:28:34,430 and it's not it's not unbearable. 514 00:28:34,430 --> 00:28:38,700 It's not like I would say TUI had worse performance issues 515 00:28:39,420 --> 00:28:43,340 like and I love Banjo TUI and I totally can get by with those 516 00:28:43,340 --> 00:28:47,180 issues that it has, but it's just it's noticeable and 517 00:28:47,180 --> 00:28:51,180 especially I think there's moments and I could be totally 518 00:28:51,180 --> 00:28:54,100 wrong on this. I don't know if the frame rates 519 00:28:54,140 --> 00:28:58,100 unlocked, if it's like they try to cap it at 30 or keep it 520 00:28:58,100 --> 00:29:02,180 consistently around 30 or sometimes it gets up because 521 00:29:02,180 --> 00:29:03,980 there are moments where there's no enemies. 522 00:29:03,980 --> 00:29:07,920 I'm running in a hall or a cave or something and it seems very 523 00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:10,200 smooth, like almost 60FBS smooth. 524 00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:13,600 Like it's very like it really got up there and I'm like, wow, 525 00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:15,480 this feels great. And then the second enemies show 526 00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:17,680 up. It's like boop back down And 527 00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:20,800 it's not, it's not chugging, but it's definitely like working. 528 00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:24,360 It's noticeable, it's notice and it also changes the way that you 529 00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:28,760 are that your feel for that scene or for that instance right 530 00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:29,480 like. Right. 531 00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:32,600 Even if it wasn't running extra fast or extra smooth or whatever 532 00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:34,480 and it was running normal and then all of a sudden it chugs 533 00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:37,520 down just a little bit, just like any other frame rate drop. 534 00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:40,000 It's, you know, anyone that want to be precise with your weapon 535 00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:43,080 or with your traversal or whatever it is that makes a 536 00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:45,160 difference. It's yeah, it throws you off. 537 00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:48,160 You don't feel like you're, you don't feel like you have the 538 00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:49,520 feel anymore. You know that. 539 00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:50,520 That's why people don't like that. 540 00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:52,360 And that's why it's unfortunate when it happens. 541 00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:54,360 But I didn't run into that stuff. 542 00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:56,520 The only thing I ran into was every once in a while. 543 00:29:57,180 --> 00:29:59,820 You know when you have to kill all of the all the enemies in 544 00:29:59,820 --> 00:30:03,500 order to unlock a door there? The door wasn't unlocked, but I 545 00:30:03,500 --> 00:30:06,980 couldn't see an enemy anywhere, but I could hear one every once 546 00:30:06,980 --> 00:30:10,020 in a while, and every once in a while, the little red indicator 547 00:30:10,020 --> 00:30:12,620 on the left or the right of my screen would go off to tell you 548 00:30:12,620 --> 00:30:14,940 that one was like around the corner or just out of sight or 549 00:30:14,940 --> 00:30:15,900 whatever. Interesting. 550 00:30:16,220 --> 00:30:18,940 And then I would throw a grenade at like the corner of the wall 551 00:30:18,940 --> 00:30:20,940 where that sound was kind of coming from. 552 00:30:21,140 --> 00:30:22,980 And then I would just see the green blood come out and it 553 00:30:22,980 --> 00:30:24,340 would die, and then the door would open. 554 00:30:24,700 --> 00:30:26,260 So that happened a couple of times. 555 00:30:26,260 --> 00:30:29,220 Yeah, yeah, I just got that on the. 64 Yeah. 556 00:30:29,220 --> 00:30:32,860 So it spawned into the wall. It wasn't shooting at me, which 557 00:30:32,860 --> 00:30:35,420 is interesting. It's not like it was, Yeah, seen 558 00:30:35,420 --> 00:30:36,460 through the wall. It just. 559 00:30:36,620 --> 00:30:38,180 And I couldn't see it. It's not like I could see the 560 00:30:38,180 --> 00:30:40,780 antenna or its foot or its guns sticking out of the wall. 561 00:30:40,780 --> 00:30:43,860 I could just hear it and see the indicators and that's it. 562 00:30:44,580 --> 00:30:45,100 Wow. And because. 563 00:30:45,180 --> 00:30:47,260 And the guns wouldn't do anything because the wall was in 564 00:30:47,260 --> 00:30:49,400 the way. So I use grenades in order to 565 00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:52,640 get an explosion, and one or two grenades later, I was like, OK, 566 00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:54,960 the doors unlocked. Like, yeah, that's pretty wild. 567 00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:59,240 Yeah, nothing like that happens on the 64, at least not to me. 568 00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:03,320 But I will say it was kind of annoying when you do kill all 569 00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:06,680 the enemies and then one is like laying on the ground just. 570 00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:10,920 Oh, spasm means yeah, yeah. Then there's just, it's just a 571 00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:12,480 matter of time before they just perish. 572 00:31:12,950 --> 00:31:15,470 But for some reason, they add that detail and they sit there 573 00:31:15,470 --> 00:31:17,510 for like 10 seconds and you're like, why isn't this door 574 00:31:17,510 --> 00:31:19,110 opening? And then you turn around, see it 575 00:31:19,110 --> 00:31:20,910 on the ground, and then it starts to disappear and you're 576 00:31:20,910 --> 00:31:22,230 like, oh, OK And then the door opens. 577 00:31:22,230 --> 00:31:23,750 Yeah. You hear the flies buzzing. 578 00:31:23,750 --> 00:31:25,750 That's how you know that that the ones on the ground, Yeah, 579 00:31:25,830 --> 00:31:29,150 Which, which is like another one of those details of the game 580 00:31:29,150 --> 00:31:35,190 that is like extra gruesome in a game that is sort of sort of 581 00:31:35,190 --> 00:31:38,270 lighthearted and sort of like not family friendly but sort of 582 00:31:38,270 --> 00:31:41,670 like geared towards maybe slightly gamers but also not. 583 00:31:41,710 --> 00:31:43,850 And I'm just like. Is this game supposed to be 584 00:31:43,850 --> 00:31:46,530 violent? Or is it not like I don't like? 585 00:31:46,530 --> 00:31:49,930 I know they're just bugs, but but at the same time, at the 586 00:31:49,930 --> 00:31:52,810 same time, they give you guns that can like explode things 587 00:31:52,810 --> 00:31:56,250 like giant rockets and these bugs, they explode and there's 588 00:31:56,250 --> 00:31:58,770 blood everywhere. There's like bug blood 589 00:31:58,770 --> 00:32:00,850 everywhere. And it's clearly like trying to 590 00:32:00,850 --> 00:32:04,610 push push that rating. It's teen, right? 591 00:32:04,610 --> 00:32:05,650 I think it's Teen. I don't. 592 00:32:05,730 --> 00:32:07,730 Know right in front of this. But yeah, yeah, it is. 593 00:32:07,850 --> 00:32:08,850 Yeah. Which which makes sense. 594 00:32:08,850 --> 00:32:10,250 That's totally, there's nothing wrong with that, right. 595 00:32:10,370 --> 00:32:13,510 I think that makes sense. But it's but like those those 596 00:32:13,510 --> 00:32:16,430 weapons, the gruesome stuff, the sort of like and like when you 597 00:32:16,430 --> 00:32:18,510 have like, a bunch of enemies that say, throw a grenade and 598 00:32:18,510 --> 00:32:20,470 it's just like, I'm overwhelmed. I got to throw something. 599 00:32:20,470 --> 00:32:24,430 And even if they don't die, the blood splatter is just like, 600 00:32:25,350 --> 00:32:26,790 it's like it's all over everywhere. 601 00:32:26,990 --> 00:32:29,710 It's everywhere. The sound effect doesn't stop. 602 00:32:29,710 --> 00:32:32,790 Like, it's just all these details, yeah, it's green. 603 00:32:32,790 --> 00:32:35,830 They're bugs, like I said, But there's something about that 604 00:32:35,830 --> 00:32:39,220 that feels. This like, yeah, this mix of 605 00:32:39,220 --> 00:32:44,540 attitude and mix of tone that this game, I don't know, I don't 606 00:32:44,540 --> 00:32:46,180 know what kind of balance they're going for here. 607 00:32:46,180 --> 00:32:48,580 Like I've seen a couple like clips and interviews and you 608 00:32:48,580 --> 00:32:52,340 know, things like that from even like 15 years ago when people 609 00:32:52,340 --> 00:32:54,940 were talking about this game and it was only 10 years old and 610 00:32:54,940 --> 00:32:57,460 being like, yeah, we wanted to strike this balance and stuff. 611 00:32:57,460 --> 00:33:01,140 And I I don't know if they struck the balance or if they 612 00:33:01,140 --> 00:33:05,150 should have just gone to. The full teen or mature side or 613 00:33:05,150 --> 00:33:07,390 should have just dumbed it down to be a little bit more child 614 00:33:07,390 --> 00:33:10,030 friendly so I it's stuck somewhere in between. 615 00:33:10,350 --> 00:33:14,350 I think playing it is totally fine for the way that works, but 616 00:33:14,990 --> 00:33:17,470 that balance I think was a little bit off depending on what 617 00:33:17,470 --> 00:33:21,470 mission and what area you're in and and what weapons you were 618 00:33:21,470 --> 00:33:23,670 using. I think else also matter. 619 00:33:24,470 --> 00:33:27,790 Yeah. And so getting getting into it, 620 00:33:27,790 --> 00:33:32,590 we're kind of, we're kind of like crossing the line of the 621 00:33:32,590 --> 00:33:33,950 game play. Yeah, yeah. 622 00:33:34,110 --> 00:33:35,510 Oh yeah, let's do it. Yeah. 623 00:33:35,750 --> 00:33:43,910 So the game play, it's kind of, I'm not, it's not bad, but it's 624 00:33:43,910 --> 00:33:47,150 not great either. It's kind of, it's kind of in 625 00:33:47,150 --> 00:33:51,270 between and I don't know. Again, I don't know what it is 626 00:33:51,350 --> 00:33:55,170 on the Rare Replay like if you can you use twin sticks. 627 00:33:55,170 --> 00:33:56,650 Is that like? No. 628 00:33:56,650 --> 00:33:59,770 So what happens is and I wrote yeah, so, so that. 629 00:33:59,930 --> 00:34:03,410 So that's one of the reasons why we'll get to this, you know 630 00:34:03,410 --> 00:34:05,490 eventually like we're gonna be playing Goldeneye on here 631 00:34:05,490 --> 00:34:08,010 because obviously we are. Yeah, that. 632 00:34:08,010 --> 00:34:11,290 The version of that on the Xbox, not on the Switch, but on the 633 00:34:11,290 --> 00:34:16,449 Xbox is twin sticks. It's is, is modern controls and 634 00:34:16,449 --> 00:34:21,340 it's great and it feels great. The game is the same game, but 635 00:34:21,340 --> 00:34:24,139 it plays even better. They modernized it. 636 00:34:24,139 --> 00:34:27,219 It looks for it looks nicer and cleaner and it plays much 637 00:34:27,219 --> 00:34:30,139 better. Fantastic with this the the 638 00:34:30,139 --> 00:34:32,860 right hand, the right-handed joystick, the right joystick or 639 00:34:33,060 --> 00:34:35,860 whatever. If you flip your controls is the 640 00:34:36,020 --> 00:34:39,219 are the C buttons. So it's your it's your strafing, 641 00:34:39,219 --> 00:34:42,100 it's your jumping, it's your Crouch or crawl or whatever. 642 00:34:42,100 --> 00:34:45,780 So you still so instead of using is it the? 643 00:34:45,900 --> 00:34:47,670 Is it the left bumper? Or what? 644 00:34:47,670 --> 00:34:48,469 What do you use to aim? No. 645 00:34:48,469 --> 00:34:50,310 Right bumper to aim. Yeah, right, Bumper. 646 00:34:50,350 --> 00:34:52,150 Yeah. So now it's it's the, it's the 647 00:34:52,150 --> 00:34:54,310 left trigger. So that's sort of modernized I 648 00:34:54,310 --> 00:34:55,989 guess. And then shooting is the right 649 00:34:55,989 --> 00:34:58,470 trigger, makes sense. That's a little bit natural. 650 00:34:58,470 --> 00:35:02,350 But it's the same thing where like if you're kind of 651 00:35:02,350 --> 00:35:04,590 overwhelmed and you're shooting especially the the guys that are 652 00:35:04,590 --> 00:35:07,510 flying in the sky, regardless of which ones they are you, it's 653 00:35:07,510 --> 00:35:11,590 really hard to stand still and shoot a lot of enemies at once. 654 00:35:11,870 --> 00:35:15,950 But it's also very difficult to move at the same time because my 655 00:35:15,950 --> 00:35:19,100 hands. Could not move left or right 656 00:35:19,100 --> 00:35:23,580 with that right joystick easily without jumping, crouching and 657 00:35:23,580 --> 00:35:25,780 aiming at the same time and pressing the trigger. 658 00:35:25,940 --> 00:35:29,500 So it's a very hard. I really could not wrap like in 659 00:35:29,500 --> 00:35:32,180 a clean way. I could not wrap my head around 660 00:35:32,540 --> 00:35:38,060 making that a consistently successful kill or room clear. 661 00:35:38,540 --> 00:35:41,500 So it happens sometimes. And when I did, I was like, Oh 662 00:35:41,580 --> 00:35:44,220 yeah, I did it. But then the next room I was. 663 00:35:44,710 --> 00:35:47,230 Jumping by accident because the joystick just moves this tiny 664 00:35:47,230 --> 00:35:49,790 bit up or I was approaching by accident because it moves 665 00:35:49,790 --> 00:35:54,630 slightly down so it it was a little bit unruly I think where 666 00:35:54,670 --> 00:35:58,590 so that part of it on the 64 I actually think works better even 667 00:35:58,590 --> 00:36:01,110 if it's not clean. But it actually fell. 668 00:36:01,110 --> 00:36:02,670 I thought it'd feel better because I'm like I'm used to 669 00:36:02,670 --> 00:36:06,350 holding an Xbox for. The last 20 years so I thought 670 00:36:06,550 --> 00:36:10,350 it would be fine, but because you need the strafing in some 671 00:36:10,350 --> 00:36:13,460 way in the game. They had to do, they had to 672 00:36:13,460 --> 00:36:16,060 implement that some way and they just made the C buttons the 673 00:36:16,060 --> 00:36:19,780 joystick. So it's it's fine, but it made 674 00:36:19,780 --> 00:36:22,820 the game more frustrating than it maybe could have been. 675 00:36:22,820 --> 00:36:25,140 But I also don't know what the solution is because you have to 676 00:36:25,140 --> 00:36:27,740 strafe somehow. So yeah, that's really 677 00:36:27,740 --> 00:36:33,700 interesting because I I think actually like movement and the 678 00:36:33,700 --> 00:36:36,740 strafing works pretty well on the 64 controller. 679 00:36:37,060 --> 00:36:40,350 It's really the the part that's that's OK. 680 00:36:40,350 --> 00:36:43,910 So there's two facets that make it frustrating and the first 681 00:36:43,910 --> 00:36:48,310 thing is aiming with the stick is very difficult when you go 682 00:36:48,310 --> 00:36:51,150 into so. So when you're running you 683 00:36:51,150 --> 00:36:54,070 basically have like an auto lock on that you can kind of just 684 00:36:54,070 --> 00:36:59,670 blast away and it'll but if it if a drones flying for example, 685 00:36:59,670 --> 00:37:04,150 or heaven forbid a freaking sniper sitting in a tree, you 686 00:37:04,150 --> 00:37:07,430 got to you got to go into this manual mode by hitting the R 687 00:37:07,430 --> 00:37:09,230 button. And then when you do you aim 688 00:37:09,230 --> 00:37:13,310 with the stick and the stick is just so like the sensitivity. 689 00:37:13,910 --> 00:37:17,390 And I don't know I didn't really look if there's an option to 690 00:37:17,390 --> 00:37:21,750 adjust sensitivity. I just assumed there wasn't 691 00:37:21,750 --> 00:37:24,230 because it's a 64 game. Like they don't think of that. 692 00:37:24,870 --> 00:37:28,190 But it definitely is like so sensitive because the slightest 693 00:37:28,190 --> 00:37:34,070 movement just sends it flying. And it's it's like I said, it's 694 00:37:34,070 --> 00:37:37,270 not, it's not bad, it's not unbearable, but it's definitely 695 00:37:37,270 --> 00:37:40,870 something that takes a lot of getting used to because it's not 696 00:37:40,870 --> 00:37:43,260 it's not ideal. No, it's not. 697 00:37:43,260 --> 00:37:46,580 And certain certain weapons you realize will work better in 698 00:37:46,580 --> 00:37:49,140 certain situations. Which, yeah, just in general is 699 00:37:49,140 --> 00:37:51,300 what happens with shooters. That's totally fine, yeah. 700 00:37:52,660 --> 00:37:55,780 But I tended to use some of the same weapons over and over again 701 00:37:55,780 --> 00:37:57,500 because I can control them better. 702 00:37:57,950 --> 00:38:00,670 Let's see, let's see what? What weapon did you use the 703 00:38:00,670 --> 00:38:02,510 most? Be honest, because it's probably 704 00:38:02,510 --> 00:38:04,510 the same one I did. It's the machine gun. 705 00:38:04,630 --> 00:38:06,710 Yeah, it's the machine gun. It's gotta be the machine gun, 706 00:38:06,710 --> 00:38:09,510 right? I just they yeah yeah they set 707 00:38:09,510 --> 00:38:11,110 you up. They set you up. 708 00:38:11,110 --> 00:38:13,270 It's like the machine guns clearly the best gun of the 709 00:38:13,270 --> 00:38:15,790 game. Followed by maybe the try 710 00:38:15,790 --> 00:38:18,710 rockets I would say. Yeah, I was, because they're 711 00:38:18,710 --> 00:38:20,830 pretty strong. They have they have a blast 712 00:38:20,830 --> 00:38:22,710 radius at least a little bit. Yeah. 713 00:38:23,550 --> 00:38:25,630 And they and they just boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, 714 00:38:25,670 --> 00:38:27,190 boom, Just keep it going. Yeah. 715 00:38:27,190 --> 00:38:28,750 And when you get like for bosses. 716 00:38:29,150 --> 00:38:31,870 Yeah, for bosses it's great when you when you get to like up to 717 00:38:31,870 --> 00:38:35,630 like 20-25 shots with the Tri rockets, it's it's pretty sweet 718 00:38:35,630 --> 00:38:38,910 because you you don't have to worry about only having 5 or 10 719 00:38:38,910 --> 00:38:41,750 bullets and not being able to like make that work right. 720 00:38:41,950 --> 00:38:44,990 And then with the machine gun, for the most part you get you 721 00:38:44,990 --> 00:38:50,110 get up to 100 to 200 to 250 shots pretty easily or pretty 722 00:38:50,110 --> 00:38:52,510 quickly within like a few stages for each character. 723 00:38:53,470 --> 00:38:56,230 And then you're you're pretty comfortable with it, but like. 724 00:38:57,150 --> 00:38:59,830 Anything that's flying in the sky, unless it was like moving 725 00:38:59,830 --> 00:39:02,670 really fast or unless it was really far away, it was the 726 00:39:02,670 --> 00:39:03,710 machine gun. Every time. 727 00:39:03,990 --> 00:39:08,430 Yeah, because I don't care if I missed 70% of the bullets, as 728 00:39:08,430 --> 00:39:10,470 long as one or two hit them, they were going to drop. 729 00:39:10,470 --> 00:39:12,110 And that's all I needed. I just needed to get them out of 730 00:39:12,110 --> 00:39:12,430 my way. Yeah. 731 00:39:12,550 --> 00:39:16,150 So I think, I think for that particular instance, like the 732 00:39:16,150 --> 00:39:18,070 drones flying, yeah, the machine guns, great. 733 00:39:18,390 --> 00:39:21,110 I also think the pistol actually works fairly well as a backup 734 00:39:21,270 --> 00:39:25,310 that you just kind of kind of do a line and just keep firing and 735 00:39:25,310 --> 00:39:29,320 just, yeah, it's just obviously more limited than the machine 736 00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:30,920 gun. I found the machine. 737 00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:32,840 It's accurate. It's it's pretty accurate, which 738 00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:34,400 is why it worked and it was easy. 739 00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:37,240 For whatever reason. It's probably just in my head, 740 00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:39,400 but I found the pistol, the easiest one, the control. 741 00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:41,080 It's probably just in my head though, yeah. 742 00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:44,160 No, I I think, I know. I think there's something to 743 00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:46,760 that. I think it's it's the rate of 744 00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:50,400 fire and you feel like you want to just one shot it, so you kind 745 00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:53,800 of line up your shot first. Similar with the sniper, except 746 00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:55,520 the sniper is just way less ammo. 747 00:39:56,480 --> 00:39:59,000 Yeah, it needs more shots. I like using it. 748 00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:03,040 It needed more, yeah. But the the machine gun I 749 00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:07,480 actually found like the ideal weapon for killing those shield, 750 00:40:08,040 --> 00:40:09,640 the enemies with Shields that hold it up. 751 00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:13,000 Because there's like small windows where either they're 752 00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:16,400 running away and you can shoot shoot them from behind or you 753 00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:19,240 can kind of shoot around them and get like their their arms 754 00:40:19,240 --> 00:40:20,680 sticking out or their legs sticking out. 755 00:40:21,240 --> 00:40:23,640 But the machine gun, you just kind of hold Z and forget about 756 00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:25,320 it and just feel like they're going to die eventually. 757 00:40:25,590 --> 00:40:28,270 So yeah, you just, you just spray literally just spray the 758 00:40:28,270 --> 00:40:31,710 scene like like working in working in media like I do when 759 00:40:31,710 --> 00:40:35,430 someone goes to a crime scene or goes to a crash or something 760 00:40:35,430 --> 00:40:38,510 like that and you're there after it happens and they're kind of 761 00:40:38,510 --> 00:40:40,030 cleaning up the area or whatever. 762 00:40:40,230 --> 00:40:43,310 The camera guy says I sprayed the scene, which means he just. 763 00:40:44,420 --> 00:40:47,100 Like a scan of the whole thing, a couple shots. 764 00:40:47,420 --> 00:40:49,100 Basically. I'd walk into a room with the 765 00:40:49,100 --> 00:40:51,300 head Shields with the machine gun like you're saying, and I 766 00:40:51,300 --> 00:40:53,620 would spray the scene. That's what I would do. 767 00:40:53,860 --> 00:40:55,700 And there would be dead bodies there, just like there might be 768 00:40:55,700 --> 00:40:59,420 at a crime scene. So it's it's just that machine 769 00:40:59,420 --> 00:41:01,580 gun. It's the best, best overall 770 00:41:01,580 --> 00:41:04,020 weapon, and it's used for a lot of different things. 771 00:41:04,020 --> 00:41:08,660 And coincidentally, I think maybe the shotgun is the worst 772 00:41:08,660 --> 00:41:12,140 weapon. Yeah, I I really wanted to use 773 00:41:12,140 --> 00:41:16,150 it more and. It's it's cool because just like 774 00:41:16,150 --> 00:41:19,470 any other shotgun, when you get close it's you know it's 775 00:41:19,470 --> 00:41:21,510 effective. I thought it was going to be 776 00:41:21,510 --> 00:41:24,510 good against the guys with the Shields at like a sort of medium 777 00:41:24,510 --> 00:41:29,030 distance because it would spray a little bit, but it did nothing 778 00:41:29,030 --> 00:41:32,710 against those guys and I tended to use it maybe against some of 779 00:41:32,710 --> 00:41:35,510 the bigger guys on the stage is not bosses but the bigger guys 780 00:41:35,510 --> 00:41:38,550 sometimes and maybe for the regular ants. 781 00:41:38,870 --> 00:41:42,030 But then yeah, it was not I'm I'm with you. 782 00:41:42,030 --> 00:41:44,340 It was it was disappointing, yeah. 783 00:41:44,340 --> 00:41:46,180 And it you can charge it up, right. 784 00:41:46,180 --> 00:41:48,540 So. Yes, which is a cool idea, but 785 00:41:48,540 --> 00:41:51,780 it I don't, I don't. It's really I think the best use 786 00:41:51,780 --> 00:41:53,900 cases. A if you're out of ammo of 787 00:41:53,900 --> 00:41:58,140 everything else and it's all you have, but just like those big 788 00:41:58,140 --> 00:42:00,980 enemies that kind of stand still and you can really line up your 789 00:42:00,980 --> 00:42:02,740 shot and then maybe drop a couple hits. 790 00:42:03,260 --> 00:42:07,620 But even bosses that are similar to that, that kind of just tanks 791 00:42:07,860 --> 00:42:10,620 and take a lot of hits that you still don't really want to use 792 00:42:10,620 --> 00:42:11,990 it. Yeah, it was. 793 00:42:12,190 --> 00:42:14,830 It was one of the last resorts. You're right, it is. 794 00:42:14,870 --> 00:42:18,550 It is really cool that they give you such a wide array of weapons 795 00:42:18,590 --> 00:42:20,910 and things like you have grenades, you have remote minds. 796 00:42:21,230 --> 00:42:23,550 Granted, you really don't use a lot of those. 797 00:42:23,910 --> 00:42:26,510 Like, they're really, if you run out of ammo. 798 00:42:26,510 --> 00:42:30,470 Like, it's just, oh, another thing to have ammo for if I need 799 00:42:30,470 --> 00:42:33,030 it. It's in a panic if my machine 800 00:42:33,030 --> 00:42:36,550 gun runs out of ammo. I can use, I can use something 801 00:42:36,550 --> 00:42:39,910 else. Spray the scene in a different 802 00:42:39,910 --> 00:42:41,270 way. That's, Yeah, exactly. 803 00:42:41,270 --> 00:42:43,750 Tossing grenades. I like the way that the grenades 804 00:42:43,750 --> 00:42:45,230 kind of work. You can kind of throw them 805 00:42:45,230 --> 00:42:46,550 higher. It's not like it's a standard. 806 00:42:46,550 --> 00:42:48,230 Just, hey, put forward and that's it. 807 00:42:48,390 --> 00:42:50,390 So, like, you can aim them. You can kind of bounce them off 808 00:42:50,390 --> 00:42:52,870 a wall. You can shoot enemy grenades out 809 00:42:52,870 --> 00:42:54,910 of the sky. Like, that's cool at you. 810 00:42:55,030 --> 00:42:56,990 Which is so cool. Which I did by accident a couple 811 00:42:56,990 --> 00:42:58,190 times. I was like, whoa, what? 812 00:42:58,190 --> 00:42:59,870 Just exploded. Did someone shoot a rocket at 813 00:42:59,910 --> 00:43:01,710 me? And I realized I shot a grenade? 814 00:43:01,710 --> 00:43:04,070 Yeah, I mean it was get them in their hand before they even 815 00:43:04,070 --> 00:43:05,290 throw it. It's such a. 816 00:43:05,290 --> 00:43:08,090 It's so cool and then they drop it and it's great that those 817 00:43:08,090 --> 00:43:09,850 little details are are really cool and stuff. 818 00:43:09,850 --> 00:43:12,290 But yeah, I think I'm with you on the grenades. 819 00:43:12,570 --> 00:43:17,570 And the one thing about those grenades though, and just things 820 00:43:17,570 --> 00:43:21,330 that create explosions, you can actually kill the tribals, which 821 00:43:21,570 --> 00:43:26,050 are something that you want to collect and you actually need to 822 00:43:26,050 --> 00:43:29,130 collect. So it kind of it kind of makes 823 00:43:29,130 --> 00:43:33,050 you want to be careful with how you use rockets or grenades or 824 00:43:33,050 --> 00:43:36,150 things like that in the game, which it's kind of a bummer. 825 00:43:36,750 --> 00:43:41,710 I I don't know if I I don't know if I dislike the idea that you 826 00:43:41,710 --> 00:43:43,430 can kill the tribals because it's kind of funny. 827 00:43:43,990 --> 00:43:48,070 But I also I don't like it when the game. 828 00:43:48,670 --> 00:43:51,230 So at at a certain point the game requires you to collect the 829 00:43:51,230 --> 00:43:55,230 tribals, so to to progress and so you need to go back and 830 00:43:55,230 --> 00:43:57,350 collect all of them. And so it can be frustrating 831 00:43:57,350 --> 00:44:00,470 when you're in a room with enemies, say the grenades are 832 00:44:00,470 --> 00:44:02,950 all you have, you use it, and you accidentally kill a tribal. 833 00:44:03,070 --> 00:44:05,810 Well, they work like the the music notes in Banjo. 834 00:44:05,810 --> 00:44:07,490 You have to restart the level if you want to collect. 835 00:44:07,610 --> 00:44:08,810 Them. All except you. 836 00:44:08,970 --> 00:44:12,690 Except you could in Banjo. At least you couldn't kill them 837 00:44:12,890 --> 00:44:15,090 and they couldn't disappear, you know. 838 00:44:15,370 --> 00:44:16,810 They were just like Mario Coins. Really. 839 00:44:16,810 --> 00:44:18,610 Yeah, you just have to find them. 840 00:44:18,730 --> 00:44:21,130 And this one, it's like, oh, I killed it. 841 00:44:21,130 --> 00:44:23,210 I got to completely restart. That was the last one. 842 00:44:23,210 --> 00:44:24,970 I mean that is that is very frustrating. 843 00:44:25,010 --> 00:44:28,010 I mean, when you messaged me just a couple days ago saying 844 00:44:28,050 --> 00:44:31,410 that you need to collect all the tribals to get to like the final 845 00:44:31,410 --> 00:44:33,050 boss and everything, I was like, well. 846 00:44:33,630 --> 00:44:35,990 My goal was to try and get most of them because I wasn't trying 847 00:44:35,990 --> 00:44:37,310 to avoid them. I was like, oh, I found them 848 00:44:37,310 --> 00:44:39,230 great. I liked finding them. 849 00:44:39,230 --> 00:44:41,270 I was like, oh, they're cute. I want to save them, especially 850 00:44:41,270 --> 00:44:43,590 like the baby ones, the pacifier in their mouth. 851 00:44:44,310 --> 00:44:45,630 Yeah. And I love the, I love one of 852 00:44:45,630 --> 00:44:49,030 the details where if you can't see it and it's like up on a 853 00:44:49,030 --> 00:44:52,230 ledge or something, they like, throw an axe at you to tell you 854 00:44:52,230 --> 00:44:53,110 that you're close. Yeah, yeah. 855 00:44:53,630 --> 00:44:56,990 That is so fun and adds like this little like. 856 00:44:57,870 --> 00:45:00,510 Like almost like desperate personality that they have 857 00:45:00,510 --> 00:45:02,470 because they're like say if you look them up here I know you 858 00:45:02,470 --> 00:45:04,190 can't see me but look, look, look, hey, hey. 859 00:45:04,430 --> 00:45:07,550 But there's no voices right. So they they I I love that 860 00:45:07,550 --> 00:45:09,470 little detail and stuff. I'm not coming down to you. 861 00:45:09,950 --> 00:45:13,590 Yeah, but I'm here, so you come up to me and grab me and carry 862 00:45:13,590 --> 00:45:15,510 me down.

Yeah, yeah, exactly. 865 00:45:21,670 --> 00:45:24,230 This is your job. But like so then this is. 866 00:45:24,230 --> 00:45:27,030 This is also part of the tribals are also part of this like. 867 00:45:28,240 --> 00:45:31,480 Tone balance that I was speaking about before where they're 868 00:45:31,640 --> 00:45:34,640 they're cute, but there's also a very serious situation. 869 00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:37,680 You know, when you start the game, they're all being rounded 870 00:45:37,680 --> 00:45:39,520 up. Some of them are being shot and 871 00:45:39,520 --> 00:45:43,560 blown up, and there's red blood, which for some reason feels like 872 00:45:43,560 --> 00:45:46,080 it's more real. Even clearly it's not. 873 00:45:47,360 --> 00:45:51,360 They're crying like there's all these tonal things in there that 874 00:45:51,360 --> 00:45:53,520 are very adult, but they look cute. 875 00:45:53,640 --> 00:45:55,400 The sound effect when you save them is cute. 876 00:45:56,770 --> 00:46:01,970 You know, there's this sort of like friendly mentality to it 877 00:46:02,010 --> 00:46:05,650 and I don't know if if because I'm in Canada and I know that in 878 00:46:05,650 --> 00:46:08,530 the US this show may or may not have reached a lot of people. 879 00:46:08,530 --> 00:46:12,130 But I don't know if you know the show Fraggle Rock or the the 880 00:46:12,170 --> 00:46:13,690 franchise of Fraggle Rock at all. 881 00:46:13,690 --> 00:46:15,770 It's puppets from the Henson Company. 882 00:46:15,770 --> 00:46:18,180 So saying I've heard of it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 883 00:46:18,180 --> 00:46:19,740 So there's sort of looking up to your right. 884 00:46:19,780 --> 00:46:20,460 Yeah, Look it up. Yeah. 885 00:46:20,740 --> 00:46:22,140 So there's sort of like in a forest. 886 00:46:22,140 --> 00:46:24,460 It's sort of like foresty hippie looking. 887 00:46:24,460 --> 00:46:26,300 Muppets is kind of what it is. Yes. 888 00:46:26,380 --> 00:46:30,100 And yeah. And I used to watch it as a kid 889 00:46:30,100 --> 00:46:33,400 and it was sort of like this. Just before you're a teenager, 890 00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:36,240 type of mentality and and jokes and stuff in it. 891 00:46:36,240 --> 00:46:38,760 So as a kid it was like, oh, I'm just watching different Muppets 892 00:46:38,760 --> 00:46:40,400 and they didn't really understand what they were 893 00:46:40,400 --> 00:46:42,800 saying. This game is kind of like, oh, 894 00:46:42,800 --> 00:46:45,360 these are fragile rock characters where the the world 895 00:46:45,360 --> 00:46:47,480 is in the forest. Then they look kind of tribal 896 00:46:47,480 --> 00:46:48,840 and kind of different or whatever. 897 00:46:49,160 --> 00:46:51,760 It's a little bit serious, but it's also kidlike. 898 00:46:51,760 --> 00:46:55,400 And I just, I I wanted to save them all because I just, I 899 00:46:55,400 --> 00:46:57,080 wanted to save them all and to be the good guy. 900 00:46:57,480 --> 00:46:59,840 Yeah, but every once in a while there'd be something where 901 00:46:59,840 --> 00:47:02,080 something funny would kind of happen when one of them gets 902 00:47:02,080 --> 00:47:04,640 hurts or dies. And I was like, should I be 903 00:47:04,640 --> 00:47:07,720 laughing at this? Yeah, yeah, if I should. 904 00:47:07,840 --> 00:47:12,240 Or if it was intentional, well, let's just put this note into 905 00:47:12,400 --> 00:47:16,600 game devs and things like that, that when you have, you have 906 00:47:16,600 --> 00:47:19,200 something to collect like that especially like a character or 907 00:47:19,200 --> 00:47:21,400 something. Don't make don't make someone 908 00:47:21,400 --> 00:47:26,500 have to collect all of them. If like make make us collect 50 909 00:47:26,500 --> 00:47:29,140 tribals or something. That's what I thought I had to 910 00:47:29,140 --> 00:47:30,260 do. That's why I was like, I'm going 911 00:47:30,260 --> 00:47:32,100 to get most of them and that should probably be fine. 912 00:47:32,380 --> 00:47:34,180 Yeah, no, you have to go back it. 913 00:47:34,220 --> 00:47:37,820 It forces you to backtrack. But interesting enough, forcing 914 00:47:37,820 --> 00:47:44,540 you to backtrack kind of reveals mechanics of the game that I 915 00:47:44,540 --> 00:47:47,660 actually wasn't aware of when I was playing up and to that 916 00:47:47,660 --> 00:47:51,070 point, like I did not. And maybe it just said it. 917 00:47:51,150 --> 00:47:53,190 And I'll just say this about the plot in general. 918 00:47:53,190 --> 00:47:57,030 Like, other than that, there's that first cut scene where Juno 919 00:47:57,030 --> 00:47:59,270 sipping on coffee, they're all just hanging out. 920 00:47:59,270 --> 00:48:00,790 And then they're. Like, feet up on the desk and 921 00:48:00,790 --> 00:48:03,390 like, yeah, and then all of a sudden they get raided and 922 00:48:03,390 --> 00:48:05,830 they're like, we got to go, we got to whatever. 923 00:48:07,030 --> 00:48:08,870 I was not following the plot at all. 924 00:48:09,230 --> 00:48:11,630 I mean, I don't know. I don't know what the. 925 00:48:12,190 --> 00:48:17,160 I know, like Misar is the bad guy and but but this is stuff 926 00:48:17,160 --> 00:48:19,520 that I learned because I played the game and I like sat through 927 00:48:19,520 --> 00:48:22,440 like later I was paying more attention but at the beginning 928 00:48:22,440 --> 00:48:26,640 like I don't know why it was hard for me to to follow. 929 00:48:26,880 --> 00:48:32,600 It's not it's like it's it's like OK, we're we're some sort 930 00:48:32,600 --> 00:48:35,840 of space crew. There's alien sectoids. 931 00:48:36,280 --> 00:48:39,040 Why are they attacking us? I was like, I didn't get that. 932 00:48:39,040 --> 00:48:43,630 I didn't get that we were the last remnant of a of a like, 933 00:48:43,630 --> 00:48:46,110 police force, of the Galaxy force, whatever. 934 00:48:46,830 --> 00:48:49,030 I didn't get that. I was just like, why are they 935 00:48:49,030 --> 00:48:50,750 attacking us? This makes no sense. 936 00:48:50,790 --> 00:48:53,230 And then we get to this island and the guy asked for help. 937 00:48:53,590 --> 00:48:55,030 And Juno's like, yeah, of course. 938 00:48:55,070 --> 00:48:58,510 And I'm just like, I don't. This sounds like his problem. 939 00:48:58,630 --> 00:49:01,470 It doesn't. I mean, like, I mean, 940 00:49:02,710 --> 00:49:04,590 definitely. If I was in that situation, my 941 00:49:04,590 --> 00:49:07,870 first priority would be to find my my sister, who was apparently 942 00:49:07,870 --> 00:49:09,870 my twin sister, which I also didn't pick up on. 943 00:49:10,190 --> 00:49:13,790 That that didn't, I'd be like find my sister and find my dog 944 00:49:13,790 --> 00:49:16,630 would be my first priority and which it kind of is. 945 00:49:16,630 --> 00:49:19,470 But then I'm like, OK, and if I see these guys, yeah, I'll try 946 00:49:19,470 --> 00:49:21,710 to help them. But I'm not going to, you know, 947 00:49:21,790 --> 00:49:25,390 I'm sorry, but. But like, you know, I don't need 948 00:49:25,390 --> 00:49:28,750 to find your pants, man. Like yeah, you know that was 949 00:49:29,230 --> 00:49:31,030 that was my favorite mission of this game. 950 00:49:31,030 --> 00:49:33,630 Though I'm not going to lie I was laughing so hard. 951 00:49:33,630 --> 00:49:35,430 I'm like that is such a rare thing. 952 00:49:35,630 --> 00:49:39,810 Like that is such a rare wear games like he's like we I was so 953 00:49:39,810 --> 00:49:42,050 scared and they took my pants and then you have to go like 954 00:49:42,050 --> 00:49:45,730 climb the tree like in the next area and they're like they just 955 00:49:45,730 --> 00:49:48,530 chucked him up there and that that was so funny. 956 00:49:48,530 --> 00:49:50,970 That mission was. I wrote that mission in my notes 957 00:49:50,970 --> 00:49:53,970 to talk about because I was like, that was so good and it 958 00:49:53,970 --> 00:49:56,250 was so random. It's so silly. 959 00:49:56,250 --> 00:49:59,650 The only thing about that, and this is a design choice or it's 960 00:49:59,690 --> 00:50:02,370 limitations of the game or the console or the cartridge, 961 00:50:02,370 --> 00:50:05,090 whatever is like when you picked something like that up. 962 00:50:06,340 --> 00:50:07,620 I didn't know what I was picking up. 963 00:50:07,620 --> 00:50:10,580 It just made a sound to tell me that I picked something up That 964 00:50:10,580 --> 00:50:11,740 was good cuz it was high pitched. 965 00:50:11,740 --> 00:50:15,660 I was like okay, okay, yeah, what do I do? 966 00:50:16,500 --> 00:50:19,180 I can't check. I mean I can check to kind of 967 00:50:19,180 --> 00:50:20,860 yeah. But it would be good if it was 968 00:50:20,860 --> 00:50:23,460 one of those things that you needed like that in order to 969 00:50:23,460 --> 00:50:26,720 progress really. It would be good to have, like a 970 00:50:26,720 --> 00:50:29,200 little indicator near your health bar or something. 971 00:50:29,760 --> 00:50:32,600 Yeah, that look like, you know, a dude's pants or something. 972 00:50:32,600 --> 00:50:35,400 Like just anything. It didn't have to have a fancy 973 00:50:35,400 --> 00:50:37,480 graphic. It could literally just be the 974 00:50:37,480 --> 00:50:39,440 word pants. And I'd be like, OK, great, I 975 00:50:39,440 --> 00:50:41,360 got the guys pants. Like I got some things. 976 00:50:41,960 --> 00:50:44,320 Yeah, I got pants. Can I customize my character 977 00:50:44,320 --> 00:50:47,080 now? Yeah, I did the reverse. 978 00:50:47,080 --> 00:50:49,320 I talked to the guy 1st and got the mission and I was like, oh, 979 00:50:49,320 --> 00:50:51,280 that's funny. And then I was like, where do I 980 00:50:51,280 --> 00:50:53,720 find these? I almost wish I found them 981 00:50:53,720 --> 00:50:55,970 first, because then I would have been like, what did I just grab, 982 00:50:56,250 --> 00:50:57,690 you know? That's what it was. 983 00:50:57,730 --> 00:50:59,410 I was like, there's something in that tree. 984 00:50:59,410 --> 00:51:01,890 I'm gonna pick it up. Maybe it's not a weapon, but 985 00:51:01,890 --> 00:51:04,930 maybe it's some sort of thing. And yeah, and then the guy's 986 00:51:04,930 --> 00:51:06,650 just like, thanks for returning my pants. 987 00:51:06,650 --> 00:51:09,290 Like, cool. I mean, I mean, it looks like 988 00:51:09,290 --> 00:51:10,610 you're wearing pants. I don't know what the problem 989 00:51:10,610 --> 00:51:16,010 is, but okay. Yeah, and like branching off to 990 00:51:16,730 --> 00:51:19,170 finish the thought of the different mechanics. 991 00:51:20,650 --> 00:51:23,730 So once you reach a point, you get armor that lets you have a 992 00:51:23,730 --> 00:51:25,610 jet pack. But that's that's besides the 993 00:51:25,610 --> 00:51:26,690 point. That's actually not what I was 994 00:51:26,690 --> 00:51:29,210 going to bring up. I didn't know that each 995 00:51:29,210 --> 00:51:32,090 character had their own specific thing that different. 996 00:51:32,090 --> 00:51:35,890 Like in my mind when I was playing as Juno and I switched 997 00:51:35,890 --> 00:51:39,050 to Vela, I'm like, well, Vela's just Juno, but a little bit 998 00:51:39,050 --> 00:51:41,810 faster. And I I just find her like I 999 00:51:41,810 --> 00:51:43,370 was. I was having more fun playing as 1000 00:51:43,370 --> 00:51:46,160 Vela than Juno and then Lupus. But they feel the same. 1001 00:51:46,320 --> 00:51:49,160 They feel the same. They feel pretty much the same. 1002 00:51:49,160 --> 00:51:52,320 And I'm like, why would I want to play as Juno when I can play 1003 00:51:52,320 --> 00:51:54,120 as Vela? And why would I want to play as 1004 00:51:54,120 --> 00:51:57,040 Vela when I can play as Lupus? You know, because he can fly. 1005 00:51:57,520 --> 00:51:59,640 Only to realize that, oh, Vela can swim. 1006 00:51:59,640 --> 00:52:01,560 I'm like, OK, well, Vela has even more value. 1007 00:52:01,920 --> 00:52:03,760 And then, you know, lupus can fly. 1008 00:52:03,760 --> 00:52:05,480 So I was kind of, like, torn between those two. 1009 00:52:05,480 --> 00:52:07,360 I'm like, OK, well, this one's more for exploring. 1010 00:52:07,360 --> 00:52:09,000 This one's like, going to help me in the level. 1011 00:52:09,640 --> 00:52:11,760 And then I found out later Juno can walk in lava. 1012 00:52:12,550 --> 00:52:16,670 And there was a very specific I think it's actually Mizar's 1013 00:52:16,990 --> 00:52:20,790 palace. There's lava in there. 1014 00:52:21,070 --> 00:52:23,590 But I didn't know that Juno could walk on lava. 1015 00:52:23,590 --> 00:52:28,430 So I I like, I found the secret hole that I went down, and then 1016 00:52:28,430 --> 00:52:31,750 I'm going through all the tunnels and I'm like, how do I 1017 00:52:31,750 --> 00:52:34,750 leave? I'm like, I was literally stuck 1018 00:52:34,750 --> 00:52:38,070 for like solid 45 minutes. And I just keep going. 1019 00:52:38,110 --> 00:52:41,030 I'm like, I've been in this tunnel before and I kept looking 1020 00:52:41,070 --> 00:52:44,430 and finally I'm like, OKI cave. I got to look it up. 1021 00:52:44,430 --> 00:52:48,110 I'm like, how do I leave Mezar? Like Mezar's palace, Juneau 1022 00:52:48,110 --> 00:52:50,630 walkthrough. And then I found this lobby 1023 00:52:50,630 --> 00:52:52,350 thing and it was like, oh, leave on the lava. 1024 00:52:52,630 --> 00:52:55,030 And then I was like, what? Why? 1025 00:52:55,630 --> 00:52:57,030 Would. Why would you walk on lava? 1026 00:52:57,430 --> 00:53:00,030 I can walk on lava. I didn't even, I didn't even 1027 00:53:00,030 --> 00:53:04,270 attempt to do it because when I'm when I was particularly, I 1028 00:53:04,270 --> 00:53:07,150 think it was lupus, I flew over that lava. 1029 00:53:08,310 --> 00:53:11,330 Get to that bottom section. But at one time I missed and I 1030 00:53:11,330 --> 00:53:13,050 landed in the lava and got hurt really bad. 1031 00:53:13,050 --> 00:53:14,810 So I was like, Oh well, Lava's bad. 1032 00:53:15,210 --> 00:53:17,290 You know, which is a sane thing to. 1033 00:53:17,290 --> 00:53:20,170 Think I think that's I think I haven't. 1034 00:53:20,170 --> 00:53:23,130 I haven't stepped in lava in a long time, but the last time I 1035 00:53:23,130 --> 00:53:26,730 did, it hurt. So yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, 1036 00:53:26,730 --> 00:53:29,770 yeah. I think, I think Ed Sheeran can 1037 00:53:29,770 --> 00:53:32,090 confirm that stepping in lava is bad. 1038 00:53:32,090 --> 00:53:36,710 If you heard that story a while back, yeah. 1039 00:53:36,710 --> 00:53:40,950 So I I don't know if they tell you that at some point that you 1040 00:53:40,950 --> 00:53:41,590 know. Can I do that? 1041 00:53:41,630 --> 00:53:44,390 I missed, I missed if they did. It was something that I had to 1042 00:53:44,390 --> 00:53:45,830 look up as well. In a similar way. 1043 00:53:45,830 --> 00:53:49,070 I definitely did not give myself 30 to 45 minutes. 1044 00:53:49,070 --> 00:53:51,110 I was just like alright, I got. I want to keep going. 1045 00:53:52,510 --> 00:53:55,310 I I really tried. I really tried to do this game 1046 00:53:55,310 --> 00:53:57,110 without like any walkthrough or say. 1047 00:53:57,110 --> 00:53:59,910 Anything I I always so difficult. 1048 00:53:59,910 --> 00:54:03,230 So difficult. It was like, I found myself. 1049 00:54:04,770 --> 00:54:08,610 So part of part of the charm is exploring and finding new areas 1050 00:54:08,610 --> 00:54:10,210 and everything. You're like, whoa, that's really 1051 00:54:10,210 --> 00:54:14,610 cool, which is really cool to do when you're playing through the 1052 00:54:14,610 --> 00:54:16,410 game. It's really lame to do when 1053 00:54:16,410 --> 00:54:19,570 you're backtracking and trying to collect all the tribals and 1054 00:54:19,570 --> 00:54:22,690 you're like, Oh my gosh, there's an entirely other planet that I 1055 00:54:22,690 --> 00:54:25,890 need to go to or whatever, which happened as Vela for me. 1056 00:54:26,450 --> 00:54:34,270 And it was just, it just added more to it and the I I just 1057 00:54:34,270 --> 00:54:38,630 found that navigating like a lot of places like even just looking 1058 00:54:38,630 --> 00:54:41,550 at the first world like Outset or or is that what it's called? 1059 00:54:41,550 --> 00:54:43,430 No, that's the section of it. Goldwood. 1060 00:54:43,830 --> 00:54:46,030 Goldwood. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 1061 00:54:46,270 --> 00:54:51,030 Goldwood that that first world when you go in like everywhere 1062 00:54:51,030 --> 00:54:54,190 kind of just looks the same and you're like did I, did I walk 1063 00:54:54,190 --> 00:54:58,390 down this way and then you're going to re navigating the same 1064 00:54:58,390 --> 00:55:01,390 areas or maybe they're slightly different and it's really hard 1065 00:55:01,390 --> 00:55:03,180 to tell. It's just one of those games. 1066 00:55:03,180 --> 00:55:05,380 It's kind of like you got to keep exploring till you find 1067 00:55:05,380 --> 00:55:10,020 stuff which is cool and I appreciate it, but you know, 1068 00:55:10,020 --> 00:55:13,460 trying to do something and complete a game for, you know, 1069 00:55:13,580 --> 00:55:15,580 like we're trying to complete this game so we can talk about 1070 00:55:15,580 --> 00:55:18,380 it on the podcast. And I was like Dang, this is not 1071 00:55:18,380 --> 00:55:20,140 one that this is not for the faint of heart. 1072 00:55:20,140 --> 00:55:23,420 This is for someone that's like they really need to go in and 1073 00:55:23,420 --> 00:55:25,740 they really need to pay attention to where they've been. 1074 00:55:25,740 --> 00:55:30,510 Like, it's enjoyable, but you will be frustrated and it's not 1075 00:55:30,510 --> 00:55:32,430 something to do if you're trying to get something done. 1076 00:55:32,990 --> 00:55:34,910 Yeah, yeah. And that's and that's the other 1077 00:55:34,910 --> 00:55:37,870 thing is like getting something done is, is is kind of a way to 1078 00:55:37,870 --> 00:55:41,590 put it too. Because for me, games like this 1079 00:55:41,630 --> 00:55:45,830 or a lot of open world games nowadays, especially, you know, 1080 00:55:46,190 --> 00:55:48,990 look, I love the Spiderman games, I love the the Horizon 1081 00:55:48,990 --> 00:55:52,150 games, they're fantastic games. But if I put that thing down for 1082 00:55:52,150 --> 00:55:55,870 a few weeks and I was kind of in the middle of a region, even if 1083 00:55:55,870 --> 00:55:57,470 I wasn't in a main quest and I was like. 1084 00:55:57,820 --> 00:56:01,620 You know, I kind of had an idea of what my path would be for the 1085 00:56:01,620 --> 00:56:05,020 next couple of hours. I find myself to be overwhelmed, 1086 00:56:05,020 --> 00:56:08,220 even though I shouldn't be, because there's just everything 1087 00:56:08,220 --> 00:56:11,340 looks unfamiliar suddenly, even though I've been in that area 1088 00:56:11,340 --> 00:56:13,780 for so long. And with this, if I put it down 1089 00:56:13,780 --> 00:56:17,060 and picked it back up, even if I was playing on rear replay and I 1090 00:56:17,060 --> 00:56:19,660 just hit play again and immediately went back, I was 1091 00:56:19,660 --> 00:56:22,060 like, why am I in this hallway again? 1092 00:56:22,100 --> 00:56:24,590 Yeah, what am I? Was I supposed to go left or 1093 00:56:24,590 --> 00:56:26,630 right here? It kind of looks the same. 1094 00:56:26,790 --> 00:56:29,950 This is a 64 thing. It's not really just this game, 1095 00:56:30,190 --> 00:56:32,950 because textures and all that kind of stuff can only go so 1096 00:56:32,950 --> 00:56:35,030 far. So it's kind of the generation 1097 00:56:35,030 --> 00:56:36,950 of games. So I don't blame this game 1098 00:56:36,950 --> 00:56:39,670 specifically for that. But it definitely is a problem 1099 00:56:39,670 --> 00:56:42,430 when you're going through like the Palace for example, and 1100 00:56:42,430 --> 00:56:45,590 especially as, as you know, in some of the Juno sections. 1101 00:56:45,590 --> 00:56:48,910 Like was the first time that I went there, it was like. 1102 00:56:49,540 --> 00:56:53,620 I feel like I'm running down this hallway 17 times and some 1103 00:56:53,620 --> 00:56:58,700 of the items, like the coins, respawn when you go back. 1104 00:57:00,020 --> 00:57:03,460 And yeah, so I'm just like, well, I think I've been here. 1105 00:57:03,460 --> 00:57:06,580 I think there was 4 coins down this hallway, but maybe it's 1106 00:57:06,580 --> 00:57:10,180 slightly different. So I you know it. 1107 00:57:10,220 --> 00:57:14,020 It's it's deeper than than I expected the game to be, and 1108 00:57:14,020 --> 00:57:17,540 it's longer than I expected to be, but some of it feels like. 1109 00:57:18,430 --> 00:57:22,870 Just design and all of that. But all of the stuff that we're 1110 00:57:22,870 --> 00:57:27,110 saying, it's still fun to play though like I still I still had 1111 00:57:27,110 --> 00:57:30,790 a good time going in and and shooting all these ants and 1112 00:57:30,790 --> 00:57:32,310 baddies. The small details that we're 1113 00:57:32,310 --> 00:57:35,190 talking about, you know like you mentioned like right off the top 1114 00:57:35,190 --> 00:57:38,430 like little things like collecting the ants heads, like 1115 00:57:38,430 --> 00:57:40,190 those types of things were just like. 1116 00:57:41,140 --> 00:57:42,460 I forgot that that was the thing. 1117 00:57:42,460 --> 00:57:44,700 And I started picking them up and it's like, oh, you collected 1118 00:57:44,700 --> 00:57:46,900 this many in this stage. Oh, you set a new record or 1119 00:57:46,900 --> 00:57:48,820 whatever. Yeah, check back all that stuff. 1120 00:57:49,180 --> 00:57:51,500 It's fun. There's all these little details 1121 00:57:51,780 --> 00:57:53,780 if you didn't know. That exactly, Yeah. 1122 00:57:54,260 --> 00:57:55,100 I didn't. At first. 1123 00:57:55,100 --> 00:57:58,020 I was wondering why I was collecting these things Same I 1124 00:57:58,020 --> 00:57:59,780 was like why can I collect these? 1125 00:57:59,940 --> 00:58:02,300 I didn't really notice. I was collecting them until 1126 00:58:02,300 --> 00:58:04,020 later. I was like is there a shop or 1127 00:58:04,020 --> 00:58:08,700 something that I go to which the shop the the dialogue like 1128 00:58:08,820 --> 00:58:11,460 another one of those like when you're you're ending it's like 1129 00:58:11,620 --> 00:58:16,020 get away you you ugly thing or yeah like just. 1130 00:58:16,020 --> 00:58:18,780 So when you want to close and walk away from the shop, yeah, 1131 00:58:18,780 --> 00:58:21,460 they base it. The character basically says, 1132 00:58:21,860 --> 00:58:23,860 like, you're you're gross and freaky. 1133 00:58:23,860 --> 00:58:26,100 I'm getting out of here. So yeah, can you just, like, 1134 00:58:26,500 --> 00:58:29,620 walk away not saying anything? Like, didn't your mom teach you 1135 00:58:29,620 --> 00:58:32,660 not to say anything bad if you don't have anything else to say? 1136 00:58:32,660 --> 00:58:35,020 You know what I mean? Like just just walk away or just 1137 00:58:35,020 --> 00:58:37,110 say bye. Like, just why? 1138 00:58:37,150 --> 00:58:40,230 Why? It's so weird, so funny. 1139 00:58:40,430 --> 00:58:44,230 Also the shop is like, OK, it's not yeah, yeah there's no, 1140 00:58:44,230 --> 00:58:47,750 there's no I I used the shop maybe twice the whole the whole 1141 00:58:47,750 --> 00:58:49,550 thing and it was. You have to find it first. 1142 00:58:49,870 --> 00:58:52,550 Yeah. It was just to fill my ammo too. 1143 00:58:52,790 --> 00:58:57,550 It wasn't like I I I don't think I ever got a game over. 1144 00:58:57,870 --> 00:59:00,270 So I don't know if there's any game over splash screen or 1145 00:59:00,270 --> 00:59:02,670 anything. Like they give you, they give 1146 00:59:02,670 --> 00:59:05,150 you like two tries every level, right? 1147 00:59:05,770 --> 00:59:08,450 Three tries, two or three, But sometimes it's in separate 1148 00:59:08,450 --> 00:59:12,250 sections of of the level, right? So I think they give you 3 and 1149 00:59:12,250 --> 00:59:14,730 then they they give you 2 like retries, but they start you off 1150 00:59:14,730 --> 00:59:17,290 like you have three lives total. Yeah yeah. 1151 00:59:17,290 --> 00:59:19,330 Per like planet. I guess you could yeah. 1152 00:59:19,370 --> 00:59:22,450 Yeah and yeah like things got close sometimes but but it's 1153 00:59:22,490 --> 00:59:25,530 it's does a pretty good job of balancing like losing health and 1154 00:59:25,530 --> 00:59:28,970 picking it up and those types I I found like a couple times I 1155 00:59:28,970 --> 00:59:31,250 died especially on bosses and stuff which you know we're 1156 00:59:31,250 --> 00:59:34,640 mostly pretty good but. That's usually where I lost my 1157 00:59:34,640 --> 00:59:39,160 lives was on the bosses. They were they were pretty good. 1158 00:59:39,320 --> 00:59:40,560 I I don't know. I don't know if there was one 1159 00:59:40,560 --> 00:59:43,760 that stood out to you the most, or so I'll tell you which one I 1160 00:59:43,760 --> 00:59:47,640 hated. So I really hated. 1161 00:59:47,640 --> 00:59:52,280 There's a it's like 2 grasshopper looking dudes. 1162 00:59:52,520 --> 00:59:54,320 There's two of them and they jumped. 1163 00:59:55,120 --> 00:59:57,120 Like praying mantis looking things, Yeah. 1164 00:59:57,240 --> 00:59:59,360 Yeah. And yeah, praying mantis, 1165 00:59:59,360 --> 01:00:01,240 because they have, they have the arms. 1166 01:00:01,790 --> 01:00:06,630 Yeah, freaking hated those because they So the thing, the 1167 01:00:06,630 --> 01:00:10,150 thing about this game is when you're locked in a boss battle, 1168 01:00:10,150 --> 01:00:13,830 you only move side to side and then you rely like just on 1169 01:00:13,830 --> 01:00:15,950 aiming. So it fundamentally changes the 1170 01:00:15,950 --> 01:00:19,030 gameplay right there. So that's where the controls on 1171 01:00:19,030 --> 01:00:21,910 the Xbox actually worked better was because I didn't have to 1172 01:00:21,910 --> 01:00:23,910 worry about, you know, Anyways, yeah. 1173 01:00:23,990 --> 01:00:25,510 So it actually worked better that way for me. 1174 01:00:25,670 --> 01:00:29,670 Yeah, but like, the first boss is kind of, I mean, if I'm 1175 01:00:29,670 --> 01:00:31,630 remembering right, that may not be the first bus. 1176 01:00:31,630 --> 01:00:35,150 I'm thinking of. Like it's like a, like a B drill 1177 01:00:36,070 --> 01:00:38,190 or A, Yeah, yeah, yeah. But. 1178 01:00:38,390 --> 01:00:40,870 And then the second one is like the that looks like you're in 1179 01:00:40,870 --> 01:00:45,590 like a sewer tunnel and then I think it's the Mantis guys after 1180 01:00:45,590 --> 01:00:46,790 that. I think that's the order, Yeah, 1181 01:00:47,310 --> 01:00:49,390 yeah. And the the Mantis guys, they 1182 01:00:49,390 --> 01:00:54,670 just have, they have multiple. So you can't, it's not like you 1183 01:00:54,670 --> 01:00:56,110 can just shoot at it and damage it. 1184 01:00:56,270 --> 01:00:59,740 You have to hit specific areas of it and I think that just 1185 01:00:59,740 --> 01:01:02,580 coincides with the aiming mechanics. 1186 01:01:02,700 --> 01:01:05,780 But also at the same time, I don't think you can always just 1187 01:01:05,780 --> 01:01:09,740 hit it. You have to time it at a certain 1188 01:01:09,740 --> 01:01:11,980 time. And that is what frustrated me, 1189 01:01:11,980 --> 01:01:15,060 because I would have, you'd like, highlight it with the 1190 01:01:15,060 --> 01:01:17,340 reticle and then once it turned red, that was kind of your cue 1191 01:01:17,340 --> 01:01:20,340 to lock in and shoot. And it made that sound effect 1192 01:01:20,340 --> 01:01:23,060 that like blinking sound effect thing that's how you went to do 1193 01:01:23,060 --> 01:01:26,220 it. And so for anybody wondering, OK 1194 01:01:26,220 --> 01:01:29,460 this is this is kind of my this is my little tidbit. 1195 01:01:30,500 --> 01:01:33,860 Those the arms, the arms. If you're struggling with this 1196 01:01:33,860 --> 01:01:37,100 boss, just use the try rockets for right away. 1197 01:01:37,700 --> 01:01:40,660 And just if you if you nail it, you can knock their arms out and 1198 01:01:40,660 --> 01:01:43,940 like one or two hits tops. So you can knock out both arms 1199 01:01:43,940 --> 01:01:46,380 and then they try to attack you with their tail switch to the 1200 01:01:46,380 --> 01:01:49,380 machine gun and wait for it to poke over and then you can kind 1201 01:01:49,380 --> 01:01:52,660 of blast it and it'll turn red and that's your indicator. 1202 01:01:52,780 --> 01:01:55,660 And once it stops turning red stop firings, Conserve ammo. 1203 01:01:56,230 --> 01:01:57,950 Exactly. That's and that that's the 1204 01:01:57,950 --> 01:01:59,510 issue. And then go ahead and then if 1205 01:01:59,510 --> 01:02:02,270 you're at a point, if you're at a point where you still have try 1206 01:02:02,270 --> 01:02:05,270 rockets, that's kind of your ideal situation and then they'll 1207 01:02:05,270 --> 01:02:07,990 attack you with their head and then you just time it and smash 1208 01:02:07,990 --> 01:02:10,950 them in the head. But it that is the only boss I 1209 01:02:10,950 --> 01:02:14,430 think that I really like had to keep playing to beat like the 1210 01:02:14,430 --> 01:02:16,190 rest. I was kind of like one or two 1211 01:02:16,270 --> 01:02:20,710 tries Max, but that one I was like over and over and over and 1212 01:02:20,710 --> 01:02:23,630 I was like, Dang it, I kept running out of ammo as the 1213 01:02:23,630 --> 01:02:25,990 reality of it. Like I ran out of the machine 1214 01:02:25,990 --> 01:02:29,230 gun and the Tri gun and then everything else is like, why am 1215 01:02:29,230 --> 01:02:32,270 I even here? Cuz yeah, so that's the problem 1216 01:02:32,270 --> 01:02:37,230 is that you, if you don't know that you have to shoot things at 1217 01:02:37,230 --> 01:02:40,550 a particular time, which is the case for at least one of the 1218 01:02:40,550 --> 01:02:42,110 other bosses before that. But. 1219 01:02:42,650 --> 01:02:45,330 They have larger hit boxes, they're not moving as fast, 1220 01:02:45,330 --> 01:02:48,850 they're not jumping around as much as these guys are, so it is 1221 01:02:48,850 --> 01:02:51,370 less frustrating. But I did find between the Tri 1222 01:02:51,370 --> 01:02:53,850 rockets and the homing missiles, as long as you had a decent 1223 01:02:53,850 --> 01:02:56,890 amount of those, excuse me? As long as you're the homing 1224 01:02:56,890 --> 01:03:00,010 missiles, the the, the lock on on the homing missiles. 1225 01:03:00,010 --> 01:03:01,250 As long as you have that gun still. 1226 01:03:01,570 --> 01:03:04,250 Yeah. Stays on where it needs to 1227 01:03:04,250 --> 01:03:06,450 shoot. So if you could get the timing, 1228 01:03:06,610 --> 01:03:08,050 yeah. So if you could get the timing 1229 01:03:08,050 --> 01:03:11,920 correctly, it stays on it. And if I knew that it was about 1230 01:03:11,920 --> 01:03:14,640 to turn red after after I figured it out and died a couple 1231 01:03:14,640 --> 01:03:18,200 times, of course, then I would shoot it just before it was 1232 01:03:18,200 --> 01:03:21,000 going to turn red. It would slowly go towards it, 1233 01:03:21,000 --> 01:03:22,640 would hit it, and that's how I would get my hits. 1234 01:03:23,040 --> 01:03:26,160 So that's how I kind of cheesed that one specifically. 1235 01:03:26,160 --> 01:03:29,600 I did it for I think the one in the sewer like in Vaila's boss 1236 01:03:29,640 --> 01:03:32,280 as well. But I had less bullets at that 1237 01:03:32,280 --> 01:03:33,240 point. So it was a little bit more 1238 01:03:33,240 --> 01:03:36,680 difficult, but and that enemy was closer so I could use other 1239 01:03:36,680 --> 01:03:38,360 guns that were a little bit more effective like. 1240 01:03:38,730 --> 01:03:40,810 Machine gun and stuff is a little bit better there, but but 1241 01:03:41,170 --> 01:03:43,410 yeah, that that's how I did it for those guys specifically 1242 01:03:43,410 --> 01:03:46,090 because the pieces you have to hit, especially like the tail 1243 01:03:46,090 --> 01:03:47,850 and the head are so small. Yeah. 1244 01:03:47,850 --> 01:03:50,850 And they're so far away from you and they move so fast that it's 1245 01:03:50,850 --> 01:03:53,410 like, well, is this going to be a 15 minute fight or can I 1246 01:03:53,410 --> 01:03:55,610 actually beat this thing in like the next four or five minutes 1247 01:03:55,610 --> 01:03:57,610 like the other ones? Yeah, it's frustrating. 1248 01:03:57,850 --> 01:03:59,170 Yeah, it's a little bit frustrating. 1249 01:03:59,210 --> 01:04:03,050 I I I was, I I felt less frustrated maybe than you did 1250 01:04:03,050 --> 01:04:05,540 because. The controls felt a little bit 1251 01:04:05,540 --> 01:04:08,740 more intuitive when it kicked into that different mode, so the 1252 01:04:08,740 --> 01:04:11,100 strafing I didn't have it. I didn't need a separate button 1253 01:04:11,100 --> 01:04:15,100 to straf anymore, I just needed the left joystick, so that felt 1254 01:04:15,100 --> 01:04:19,420 a lot better. But it was or. 1255 01:04:19,420 --> 01:04:23,380 Sorry I I didn't need to to press the other trigger in order 1256 01:04:23,380 --> 01:04:25,700 to aim. The reticle was always up right? 1257 01:04:25,700 --> 01:04:29,860 So it was one less thing that I needed to use strafe and run 1258 01:04:29,860 --> 01:04:33,140 like constantly. Or did the using the Xbox 1259 01:04:33,140 --> 01:04:36,020 controller kind of hinder that? Because every time I was running 1260 01:04:36,020 --> 01:04:37,260 forward, I wasn't running forward. 1261 01:04:37,260 --> 01:04:39,420 I was holding the C button like to the side. 1262 01:04:39,420 --> 01:04:41,660 So I'd always be running like forward right. 1263 01:04:41,660 --> 01:04:44,020 I'd almost be always running diagonally rather than. 1264 01:04:44,380 --> 01:04:47,780 Yeah, so that's what I that's what I remember always doing as 1265 01:04:47,780 --> 01:04:51,260 a kid, playing this on the 64 and that's what my habit was and 1266 01:04:51,300 --> 01:04:53,700 immediately when I picked it up and put the cartridge in. 1267 01:04:54,220 --> 01:04:57,500 But because of the way that the joystick works, because it's 1268 01:04:57,500 --> 01:05:00,690 sensitive. The slight movement a little bit 1269 01:05:00,730 --> 01:05:03,610 up or like halfway up on the on the, you know, moving the 1270 01:05:03,610 --> 01:05:06,610 joystick up like a sort of quarter circle would make me 1271 01:05:06,610 --> 01:05:10,210 jump. So it was a lot harder to do 1272 01:05:10,210 --> 01:05:12,130 that. So the strafing was not as 1273 01:05:12,130 --> 01:05:15,130 beneficial as the game probably wants it to be. 1274 01:05:15,130 --> 01:05:18,130 Like the game wants you to be strafing because it's a better 1275 01:05:18,130 --> 01:05:20,690 way to avoid like the snipers like you were saying and all 1276 01:05:20,690 --> 01:05:22,850 that. Like that is key to avoiding a 1277 01:05:22,850 --> 01:05:25,330 lot of those shots that are hard to hit from a distance. 1278 01:05:26,360 --> 01:05:29,360 But I was running into losing a decent amount of life in those 1279 01:05:29,360 --> 01:05:31,720 instances because, interesting, I couldn't strafe a lot. 1280 01:05:31,720 --> 01:05:34,360 Yeah, so I was like, so sometimes there were some levels 1281 01:05:34,960 --> 01:05:38,600 where I could see a sniper in the distance, but it couldn't 1282 01:05:38,600 --> 01:05:40,680 see me yet. And I pulled out. 1283 01:05:40,920 --> 01:05:42,560 And this is even before I had the sniper rifle. 1284 01:05:42,560 --> 01:05:46,640 I'd pull out the pistol and just get the radical enough to hit 1285 01:05:46,640 --> 01:05:49,440 the snipers because they only take one bullet or one laser, 1286 01:05:49,680 --> 01:05:51,760 and I would shoot them from a distance and then now I wouldn't 1287 01:05:51,760 --> 01:05:53,600 have to worry about the when I ran into that area. 1288 01:05:53,940 --> 01:05:56,820 So you know I kind of cheese the the program a little bit in the 1289 01:05:56,820 --> 01:06:00,860 game, but I knew from dying 2 minutes prior that that would 1290 01:06:00,860 --> 01:06:02,780 help me and I just sort of figured out a way to do it. 1291 01:06:02,780 --> 01:06:06,020 So the strafing is so helpful, especially with the with the 1292 01:06:06,020 --> 01:06:08,900 drones coming in because they would like they often in a line 1293 01:06:08,900 --> 01:06:11,180 and so I just aim in one spot and then I didn't. 1294 01:06:11,260 --> 01:06:13,940 I just hold the joystick and straight to the right and just 1295 01:06:13,940 --> 01:06:16,100 keep firing and it was just like you just go down the line 1296 01:06:16,420 --> 01:06:18,620 mauling them and it was it was good. 1297 01:06:20,100 --> 01:06:24,810 So just pushing us forward a little bit, I think we talked 1298 01:06:24,810 --> 01:06:29,290 about quite a bit of the game. There is a little a little bonus 1299 01:06:29,290 --> 01:06:32,090 character you get added to your team, which is Floyd the robot. 1300 01:06:32,450 --> 01:06:34,250 Yeah, Floyd, what a name. Great name. 1301 01:06:34,330 --> 01:06:35,690 What a name, Great name for a robot. 1302 01:06:36,210 --> 01:06:40,090 Yeah. And so they he joins your team 1303 01:06:40,090 --> 01:06:42,090 and you have to find the parts and that's cool. 1304 01:06:43,170 --> 01:06:48,050 And then Mezar is the the big bad of the game. 1305 01:06:48,630 --> 01:06:50,390 Yes. We have to get we have to get to 1306 01:06:50,390 --> 01:06:53,710 this to to the to the big bad and and the the whole go ahead. 1307 01:06:53,710 --> 01:06:55,270 I'm going to let you. I'm going to let you carry this. 1308 01:06:55,430 --> 01:06:59,870 Yeah so I'll just say so at first you fight it and you you 1309 01:07:00,310 --> 01:07:03,590 you beat Mezar's palace. You have to you have to get all 1310 01:07:03,590 --> 01:07:08,390 three of your squad members to Mezar's lobby and his palace to 1311 01:07:08,390 --> 01:07:12,230 unlock the boss fight, which is a feat because every character, 1312 01:07:12,230 --> 01:07:14,790 you have to progress through a certain amount of worlds to all 1313 01:07:14,790 --> 01:07:18,050 meet up and be on the same world, which is kind of an 1314 01:07:18,050 --> 01:07:20,130 interesting way to do it. I like that there's. 1315 01:07:20,210 --> 01:07:21,970 I like that. I like that. 1316 01:07:21,970 --> 01:07:23,330 Yeah, I like that. The paths were different. 1317 01:07:23,330 --> 01:07:25,690 You weren't playing the exact same stages just because just 1318 01:07:25,690 --> 01:07:27,730 because they're different characters and could swim or 1319 01:07:27,970 --> 01:07:31,730 apparently walk lava or fly. You're still playing different 1320 01:07:31,730 --> 01:07:33,290 stages, different perspectives or whatever. 1321 01:07:33,290 --> 01:07:34,770 And then you're me. Like, I like that. 1322 01:07:34,770 --> 01:07:37,210 I mean that. That made the game definitely 1323 01:07:37,210 --> 01:07:40,970 feel more epic and and big to a way that I didn't remember 1324 01:07:40,970 --> 01:07:43,650 because like we've discussed earlier, we never really played 1325 01:07:43,650 --> 01:07:45,050 through the entirety of it or anything. 1326 01:07:45,050 --> 01:07:48,430 So yeah, anyways, yeah, and it's it. 1327 01:07:48,470 --> 01:07:51,110 It's just one of those things that it also it it does make 1328 01:07:51,110 --> 01:07:53,070 backtracking a nightmare, but that's besides the point. 1329 01:07:56,150 --> 01:07:58,790 I think the thing that makes it a nightmare really is you 1330 01:07:58,790 --> 01:08:01,590 backtrack to certain areas and you have to figure out what 1331 01:08:01,590 --> 01:08:03,670 character you need for that area to complete it. 1332 01:08:04,390 --> 01:08:07,470 So like if you go back to Juno's first level, it might not be 1333 01:08:07,470 --> 01:08:09,230 Juno that can get all the tribals. 1334 01:08:09,230 --> 01:08:12,590 It might be Vela, you know, or it might be Lupus. 1335 01:08:12,990 --> 01:08:15,550 And you have to be selective and kind of like, but you may not 1336 01:08:15,550 --> 01:08:19,270 know that until you're like 10 tribals in and you need one 1337 01:08:19,270 --> 01:08:21,430 more. And that one is like above you 1338 01:08:21,470 --> 01:08:23,310 and only Lupus can hover over to it. 1339 01:08:23,830 --> 01:08:25,550 It's just it's a little frustrating. 1340 01:08:25,550 --> 01:08:27,550 It's not make a break. If you have a guide, it's 1341 01:08:27,550 --> 01:08:30,350 probably a lot easier. Well, it would be nice if the 1342 01:08:30,350 --> 01:08:33,189 tribals didn't respond every time you went like that. 1343 01:08:33,710 --> 01:08:36,029 Yeah, I think that like that would have solved it if you. 1344 01:08:36,430 --> 01:08:39,029 I'm gonna just stayed that way. I think that would have at least 1345 01:08:39,029 --> 01:08:40,510 made it a little bit better because you'd be like, oh, I 1346 01:08:40,510 --> 01:08:43,010 have one more. And then maybe you see them up 1347 01:08:43,010 --> 01:08:44,850 in a tree, but at least you're not going through the entire 1348 01:08:44,850 --> 01:08:46,290 stage and doing every last little step. 1349 01:08:46,290 --> 01:08:48,930 Classic Banjo Kazooie design choice with. 1350 01:08:49,010 --> 01:08:50,609 The musical notes, that's what it is. 1351 01:08:50,609 --> 01:08:53,689 Again, just a not good way to do it. 1352 01:08:53,970 --> 01:08:57,010 It's not not make or break, but it definitely makes it more 1353 01:08:57,130 --> 01:09:00,050 difficult than it needs to be. But so anyways, you get them 1354 01:09:00,050 --> 01:09:01,649 all, you get them all in the same spot. 1355 01:09:01,649 --> 01:09:06,450 You you fight the final boss and Lupus Jake charge initially. 1356 01:09:07,930 --> 01:09:12,720 And I I mean that that that fight's super easy is a 1357 01:09:12,720 --> 01:09:15,479 cakewalk. You don't really have to do too 1358 01:09:15,479 --> 01:09:16,840 much. And he kind of just retreats and 1359 01:09:16,840 --> 01:09:19,680 he's like, well, if I can't have my way, I'm going to go destroy 1360 01:09:19,680 --> 01:09:22,479 your planet. And then he flies up to an 1361 01:09:22,479 --> 01:09:24,319 asteroid. And then they prompt you to go 1362 01:09:24,319 --> 01:09:29,160 collect all these ship parts to repair this old ship that can 1363 01:09:29,160 --> 01:09:31,640 reach where you need to be and tribal. 1364 01:09:31,640 --> 01:09:33,880 So you not only have to collect every tribal in the game and 1365 01:09:33,880 --> 01:09:36,960 backtrack to every world, get every tribal, but you also have 1366 01:09:36,960 --> 01:09:40,300 to get the ship parts. And the guy Jeff, mother 1367 01:09:40,300 --> 01:09:44,260 grabbing Jeff had like holds the last ship part hostage. 1368 01:09:44,260 --> 01:09:48,460 So like, he's like you have to, you have to find all my people 1369 01:09:48,460 --> 01:09:50,899 and I'll give you the last ship part to save your planet. 1370 01:09:50,979 --> 01:09:54,100 It's like so selfish. I can't believe it. 1371 01:09:54,100 --> 01:09:56,020 I just don't like the guy. I don't like the guy we've. 1372 01:09:56,060 --> 01:09:57,700 Come this far. Isn't that enough? 1373 01:09:58,060 --> 01:09:59,220 Yeah. We'll go back. 1374 01:09:59,540 --> 01:10:01,780 Let me defeat the baddies. I'll go back and I'll save them. 1375 01:10:01,780 --> 01:10:05,580 It sounds to me right now, yeah, yeah, he's a jerk, Jeff's a 1376 01:10:05,580 --> 01:10:10,700 jerk. And so going up, you, you get to 1377 01:10:10,700 --> 01:10:12,180 this asteroid, you find me, Tsar. 1378 01:10:12,180 --> 01:10:17,820 You fight them, you beat them. And it's revealed, hey, this, 1379 01:10:17,900 --> 01:10:20,660 this is like a robotic body. And this was. 1380 01:10:20,740 --> 01:10:26,500 I was laughing when I saw this because it comes out and it's 1381 01:10:26,500 --> 01:10:30,660 Barry, Jeff's brother. Oh Barry. 1382 01:10:31,020 --> 01:10:34,530 Oh man, you don't even know. Is about to go off. 1383 01:10:34,570 --> 01:10:37,330 And he's like Barry and he's like, I hate you, Jeff. 1384 01:10:38,570 --> 01:10:40,530 He's like, I hate everything about you. 1385 01:10:40,530 --> 01:10:42,810 I hate being in your shadow. I hate being your brother. 1386 01:10:43,010 --> 01:10:46,170 Like you suck. And he's like, apparently he 1387 01:10:46,170 --> 01:10:47,850 was. I and I may have be 1388 01:10:47,850 --> 01:10:50,770 misremembering, but he's like I wasn't actually going to blow up 1389 01:10:50,770 --> 01:10:52,250 the earth. I was just threatening to do it 1390 01:10:52,450 --> 01:10:55,570 to like make my point across. And he's like my body. 1391 01:10:55,570 --> 01:10:57,810 I like with my robotic body. I could have stopped the 1392 01:10:57,810 --> 01:11:00,170 detonation, but he still actually did a detonation or 1393 01:11:00,170 --> 01:11:02,750 something. Yeah, and so. 1394 01:11:03,150 --> 01:11:05,470 He had a bomb in his hand. He's like, yeah, he had a bomb 1395 01:11:05,470 --> 01:11:09,550 in his hand and like, so Floyd I guess makes the heroic 1396 01:11:09,550 --> 01:11:12,470 sacrifice, which is sad because he was, he was a pretty cool 1397 01:11:12,470 --> 01:11:14,870 little robot dude. He just flew around and he had 1398 01:11:14,870 --> 01:11:17,630 little gameplay, his own gameplay without the thing. 1399 01:11:17,630 --> 01:11:20,230 Once you unlocked him, which we didn't mention, but you can 1400 01:11:20,230 --> 01:11:22,710 stand on a pad and he would like come out, you get this like 1401 01:11:22,710 --> 01:11:25,830 first person, like ship control. Mini games. 1402 01:11:25,830 --> 01:11:28,550 Yeah, little flying mini games. Yeah, you know what it reminded 1403 01:11:28,550 --> 01:11:29,870 me of? And they're pretty much all like 1404 01:11:29,870 --> 01:11:30,670 this. They're just kind of in 1405 01:11:30,670 --> 01:11:33,320 different settings. Is if you ever played any of the 1406 01:11:33,320 --> 01:11:35,960 Star Wars Super Nintendo games when they would put you in the 1407 01:11:35,960 --> 01:11:39,200 Millennial Falcon or other ship, that's that's what it felt like. 1408 01:11:39,200 --> 01:11:40,960 Because that all of a sudden that those games went first 1409 01:11:40,960 --> 01:11:43,240 person and you're kind of dodging and shooting things 1410 01:11:43,240 --> 01:11:45,560 every once in a while. It felt just like those the 1411 01:11:45,560 --> 01:11:49,240 controls were just as somewhat wonky as those ones were. 1412 01:11:49,680 --> 01:11:52,320 It was it was kind of cool. Yeah, it's very short. 1413 01:11:52,320 --> 01:11:54,000 It's only a couple minutes, yeah. 1414 01:11:54,560 --> 01:11:57,040 And it just, it just made me bring up a point I didn't bring 1415 01:11:57,040 --> 01:12:00,080 up in the control section when we were talking about gameplay. 1416 01:12:00,440 --> 01:12:05,480 So I just briefly say it, but I really dislike how the game 1417 01:12:05,480 --> 01:12:08,400 almost plays like a platformer, a third person shooter 1418 01:12:08,400 --> 01:12:11,080 platformer. Like it's very it feels fine and 1419 01:12:11,080 --> 01:12:14,360 then once you get into battle it switches to tank controls for 1420 01:12:14,360 --> 01:12:15,720 better or worse. Like sometimes. 1421 01:12:15,760 --> 01:12:18,640 It works really well, but I found it frustrating when I 1422 01:12:18,640 --> 01:12:21,320 wanted to, like, move out of the way and I wanted to just turn 1423 01:12:21,320 --> 01:12:24,240 around and run like a normal, like, platformer controls. 1424 01:12:24,440 --> 01:12:26,400 And then all of a sudden you'd stop and you'd have to, like, 1425 01:12:26,400 --> 01:12:30,440 back up like reversing a car. And I'm like so that. 1426 01:12:30,440 --> 01:12:33,000 Way you have to turn. You have to turn right around 1427 01:12:33,040 --> 01:12:35,520 all the way around in order to like go the other way. 1428 01:12:35,600 --> 01:12:39,240 Yeah, so that that like it just switches automatically, which 1429 01:12:40,240 --> 01:12:43,360 whatever, it's fine. To me, other than other than 1430 01:12:43,360 --> 01:12:47,600 maybe those specific scenarios I liked, like to me, I like third 1431 01:12:47,600 --> 01:12:51,400 person shooters and games much more than first person these 1432 01:12:51,400 --> 01:12:54,780 days. Maybe it's just sort of lost its 1433 01:12:54,780 --> 01:12:57,260 luster on me a little bit. I don't know what it is, but I 1434 01:12:57,260 --> 01:12:59,060 like third person. I was excited to play this for 1435 01:12:59,060 --> 01:13:03,340 that reason and I kind of like how it's like half first person, 1436 01:13:03,340 --> 01:13:04,660 half third person when you shoot. 1437 01:13:04,660 --> 01:13:07,020 So like to me, I kind of like that idea. 1438 01:13:07,340 --> 01:13:10,300 You know you you pretty much are playing an FPS at that point but 1439 01:13:10,900 --> 01:13:12,660 you know you can still see your character and you're still 1440 01:13:12,660 --> 01:13:15,220 moving around. All the controls kind of almost 1441 01:13:15,220 --> 01:13:17,660 stay the same and stuff like almost feel the same and. 1442 01:13:18,240 --> 01:13:21,160 I I like that part of it, but I do I I know what you mean that 1443 01:13:21,160 --> 01:13:25,600 that part that scenario like that is a little bit frustrating 1444 01:13:25,600 --> 01:13:32,000 and I guess I gave it a pass on that because it's a game from 1445 01:13:32,000 --> 01:13:35,520 the late 90s and 2000 and it was just it is what it is you know. 1446 01:13:35,520 --> 01:13:38,640 So I just kind of let that go. But but your point is made and I 1447 01:13:38,640 --> 01:13:42,080 think you're you're not wrong. I just, I just had to throw it 1448 01:13:42,080 --> 01:13:46,310 out there because I was like, but and again, it wasn't, it 1449 01:13:46,310 --> 01:13:48,310 wasn't make or break. It was just like every once in a 1450 01:13:48,310 --> 01:13:51,590 while it would make a frustrating situation and I'd be 1451 01:13:51,590 --> 01:13:57,230 like, all right, that sucked. But yeah, otherwise I mean 1452 01:13:57,470 --> 01:13:59,350 pretty solid games. Pretty funny. 1453 01:14:00,390 --> 01:14:02,830 It's pretty funny. And we we mentioned Star Wars 1454 01:14:02,830 --> 01:14:04,590 earlier, just as we were talking about the ending. 1455 01:14:04,910 --> 01:14:08,910 The ending of this is 100% Star Wars because they all walk into 1456 01:14:08,910 --> 01:14:10,990 this big auditorium. They get a medal. 1457 01:14:11,530 --> 01:14:13,290 They get a medal. All the other, you know, 1458 01:14:13,290 --> 01:14:15,290 fighters, which apparently there's other fighters. 1459 01:14:15,290 --> 01:14:20,490 So let's see more jet force stories and they they get a 1460 01:14:20,490 --> 01:14:23,330 medal and then like the ships are flying over top and all this 1461 01:14:23,330 --> 01:14:24,570 stuff. And I was just like, this is 1462 01:14:24,570 --> 01:14:27,010 great. So I didn't, I didn't play any 1463 01:14:27,010 --> 01:14:29,410 of this very ending fight or any because I didn't get all the 1464 01:14:29,410 --> 01:14:33,090 tribals. I just yeah, my my story of 1465 01:14:33,090 --> 01:14:35,530 reason why I couldn't finish is because my furnace busted in the 1466 01:14:35,530 --> 01:14:39,650 house and I just wasn't home for a few days and it was just way 1467 01:14:39,650 --> 01:14:42,180 too hot in the house. Because it wasn't blowing any 1468 01:14:42,180 --> 01:14:46,260 air from the A/C, so the whole house was just baking at yeah, 1469 01:14:46,420 --> 01:14:48,660 yeah. Anyways, so I just whatever took 1470 01:14:48,660 --> 01:14:51,020 the took the stuff to my parents place and that's it. 1471 01:14:52,180 --> 01:14:56,540 And so I watched. I watched the last, I would say 1472 01:14:56,540 --> 01:14:59,420 half hour of the game roughly somewhere in there or at least 1473 01:14:59,420 --> 01:15:01,260 an efficient playthrough of the last half hour. 1474 01:15:01,460 --> 01:15:03,100 And then watch the cutscene and whatever. 1475 01:15:03,100 --> 01:15:06,060 But it's just like the Berry thing, the Jeff thing, the twist 1476 01:15:06,060 --> 01:15:07,980 at the end. And then the Star Wars. 1477 01:15:08,260 --> 01:15:09,620 And then did you watch the credits? 1478 01:15:10,020 --> 01:15:12,580 Yeah, when you're dancing, you're dancing in the nightclub. 1479 01:15:12,980 --> 01:15:15,740 What is happening? OK, wait, wait, wait. 1480 01:15:15,900 --> 01:15:18,180 Oh gosh. There's a there's a mission 1481 01:15:18,180 --> 01:15:21,540 where you go undercover as an Ant drone and you go into that 1482 01:15:21,540 --> 01:15:22,300 nightclub. Oh, yeah. 1483 01:15:23,140 --> 01:15:26,060 Oh, there is. It's like a little, yeah, it's a 1484 01:15:26,060 --> 01:15:28,700 little thing. So it's a nod to that, but yeah. 1485 01:15:28,940 --> 01:15:32,380 It was just it's so funny because the tone again, the 1486 01:15:32,380 --> 01:15:35,200 whole tone thing of this is. It's epic. 1487 01:15:35,360 --> 01:15:38,520 It's Star Wars, you have your medals, you save the day every 1488 01:15:38,520 --> 01:15:40,320 the ships are flying overhead, whatever. 1489 01:15:40,680 --> 01:15:44,680 And then it cuts the black. 2 seconds later it's Juno doing 1490 01:15:45,320 --> 01:15:48,680 disco inferno in a nightclub and everybody's dancing and stuff 1491 01:15:48,680 --> 01:15:50,240 and I'm like, what is happening right now? 1492 01:15:50,560 --> 01:15:54,280 This is so all over the place. I think I said something in my 1493 01:15:54,280 --> 01:15:55,920 notes. I said Okay, I said Fortnite 1494 01:15:55,920 --> 01:15:59,330 moves have nothing on Juno. Yes, yes, there you go. 1495 01:15:59,490 --> 01:16:01,970 Never mind the the. I don't even know what the moves 1496 01:16:01,970 --> 01:16:04,730 are called anymore, but like bring those into Fortnite. 1497 01:16:04,730 --> 01:16:08,690 I am so glad I wrote this down because I totally forgot about 1498 01:16:08,690 --> 01:16:09,770 it and I just looked at my notes. 1499 01:16:10,370 --> 01:16:14,210 So Juno and Vela, high five at the end when they get their 1500 01:16:14,210 --> 01:16:17,530 medals, they like high 5. And I said they never actually 1501 01:16:17,530 --> 01:16:19,890 touch hands. And it made me laugh because 1502 01:16:19,890 --> 01:16:22,450 they're like, well, they're like high five and they're just like 1503 01:16:22,930 --> 01:16:26,930 and there's like like it's just the the models and the 1504 01:16:26,930 --> 01:16:28,770 animation. Like they just never actually 1505 01:16:28,770 --> 01:16:30,810 touch and it's. Just they touch squares like 1506 01:16:31,210 --> 01:16:33,650 they didn't touch, They didn't touch, they didn't touch at all. 1507 01:16:33,650 --> 01:16:36,090 It was like there's a gap of air between it and then they put 1508 01:16:36,090 --> 01:16:37,290 their hands down. Well, you know what? 1509 01:16:37,290 --> 01:16:38,890 They're they're twins. They're siblings. 1510 01:16:38,890 --> 01:16:40,090 Maybe it was just a secret handshake. 1511 01:16:40,090 --> 01:16:41,490 We just didn't know it. Maybe it's the good thing they 1512 01:16:41,490 --> 01:16:42,930 do. You know, like the whole Fresh 1513 01:16:42,930 --> 01:16:45,690 Prince have five That thing. Maybe that's all it was. 1514 01:16:46,130 --> 01:16:47,250 You know, maybe that's what was happening. 1515 01:16:49,650 --> 01:16:52,650 Yeah, it was funny. It's so there. 1516 01:16:52,730 --> 01:16:55,410 So there's aspects of this game. Obviously there's there's things 1517 01:16:55,410 --> 01:16:58,210 that probably could be refined and whatever. 1518 01:16:58,370 --> 01:17:01,210 I was a little bit disappointed that the Xbox version wasn't 1519 01:17:01,210 --> 01:17:04,130 more refined, but it didn't make it a terrible experience. 1520 01:17:04,490 --> 01:17:08,610 But I think overall I still had a good time playing. 1521 01:17:08,650 --> 01:17:12,250 Yeah, a lot of it is the epicness of it, the ideas that 1522 01:17:12,250 --> 01:17:15,020 are in it. Variety of enemies, weapons like 1523 01:17:15,020 --> 01:17:16,460 we were talking about. Like there's stuff in here 1524 01:17:16,460 --> 01:17:18,820 that's really good. Is it a complete home run? 1525 01:17:19,860 --> 01:17:21,620 Not really, but it's. But it's. 1526 01:17:21,660 --> 01:17:23,420 But I don't think that it's far off. 1527 01:17:23,500 --> 01:17:25,820 You know, I don't think that it's a complete disaster in any 1528 01:17:25,820 --> 01:17:29,940 way and there's some fun to be had, but definitely expect to. 1529 01:17:29,940 --> 01:17:32,860 I think you mentioned earlier to dig into this a little bit more 1530 01:17:32,860 --> 01:17:34,500 than maybe you would have expected. 1531 01:17:34,500 --> 01:17:36,980 I think, yeah, you're definitely going to have to sink a lot more 1532 01:17:36,980 --> 01:17:40,660 time into this, even if you do what I do and and don't complete 1533 01:17:40,660 --> 01:17:42,940 the entire game and and get all the tribals. 1534 01:17:43,270 --> 01:17:46,430 There's there's still a lot to do and a lot of fun to be had. 1535 01:17:46,430 --> 01:17:49,030 And then you know what if you can't find them all like I did, 1536 01:17:49,190 --> 01:17:50,790 I was fine with watching the ending and stuff. 1537 01:17:50,790 --> 01:17:52,270 It happens. You know, you can't finish 1538 01:17:52,270 --> 01:17:54,910 everything and you can't spend your whole life playing one game 1539 01:17:54,910 --> 01:17:57,350 for for a month and stuff. But I I think it was. 1540 01:17:57,350 --> 01:17:59,870 I think it was a good time. I still, I still think I really 1541 01:18:00,670 --> 01:18:01,870 enjoyed it. I still recommend it. 1542 01:18:01,870 --> 01:18:04,590 Just be prepared for some of the things that we're talking about. 1543 01:18:04,590 --> 01:18:07,310 That's if I if I had to give it a number because I'm a I'm a 1544 01:18:07,310 --> 01:18:09,510 give it a number kind of a person, I'd probably give it 1545 01:18:09,510 --> 01:18:13,850 like a 7.5 out of 10. Because I think it was, it was 1546 01:18:13,850 --> 01:18:18,290 good, it wasn't great. It was definitely the the 1547 01:18:18,290 --> 01:18:22,570 reviews at the times, a lot of like kind of B Plus was kind of 1548 01:18:22,570 --> 01:18:26,410 the sentiment going around like you know, 80s out of 100, stuff 1549 01:18:26,410 --> 01:18:29,370 like that. And I'd say that's that's I'm 1550 01:18:29,370 --> 01:18:32,490 probably more in the C Plus territory, maybe leaning toward 1551 01:18:32,490 --> 01:18:34,250 B -. I think there's a lot of 1552 01:18:34,250 --> 01:18:35,690 elements of it that make it good. 1553 01:18:35,690 --> 01:18:38,490 I think like graphics are decent. 1554 01:18:38,490 --> 01:18:42,330 The music's phenomenal. The story is fine. 1555 01:18:43,010 --> 01:18:46,330 The game play is sometimes clunky, but overall fun. 1556 01:18:46,930 --> 01:18:49,810 It's it's just not perfect. It's not as refined, but it is. 1557 01:18:49,850 --> 01:18:53,370 You'll have a good time playing it, except for the part where 1558 01:18:53,370 --> 01:18:56,530 you're like, Oh my gosh, I have to collect everything to finish 1559 01:18:56,530 --> 01:19:00,810 the game. Yeah, that's that's that's just 1560 01:19:00,810 --> 01:19:05,010 a little frustrating to me. And for that, that's what brings 1561 01:19:05,010 --> 01:19:06,330 it. Like, if it didn't have that, 1562 01:19:06,530 --> 01:19:09,310 I'd probably give it an 8 because it it's enjoy. 1563 01:19:09,950 --> 01:19:11,830 I think it makes. I think it makes a difference. 1564 01:19:11,830 --> 01:19:14,110 I think it absolutely makes a difference for sure because you 1565 01:19:14,110 --> 01:19:17,510 don't feel in some ways it feels like you're not wasting your 1566 01:19:17,510 --> 01:19:20,550 time but it feels like what you've done up until that point, 1567 01:19:20,750 --> 01:19:24,070 even though you didn't complete it feels less than when it 1568 01:19:24,070 --> 01:19:26,710 should you know. So I think that there's 1569 01:19:26,710 --> 01:19:29,030 something to that for sure. I I think you're onto something 1570 01:19:29,030 --> 01:19:32,990 and and I once you told me that I had to collect all of them. 1571 01:19:32,990 --> 01:19:35,860 I know I wasn't close. And I was like, well, I'm, I'm 1572 01:19:35,860 --> 01:19:36,740 not. I'm not doing it. 1573 01:19:36,740 --> 01:19:38,180 Thank God. I'm not home right now to play 1574 01:19:38,180 --> 01:19:40,220 the game because I'm not. I wasn't going to do it. 1575 01:19:40,220 --> 01:19:43,220 So, you know, I took a few days off from not playing it, but I I 1576 01:19:43,220 --> 01:19:45,180 still was thinking about it afterwards. 1577 01:19:45,180 --> 01:19:47,100 I was still, you know, thinking about us, talking about it, but 1578 01:19:47,100 --> 01:19:49,500 also thinking about just the fact that I had a good time. 1579 01:19:49,500 --> 01:19:52,300 I like the ideas in here. Most of the execution's pretty 1580 01:19:52,300 --> 01:19:54,820 good, but there's some of those things that that could improve 1581 01:19:54,820 --> 01:19:57,060 upon. And hey, if you know, if you got 1582 01:19:57,060 --> 01:19:59,340 some time to sink into it, even if you only play like half this 1583 01:19:59,340 --> 01:20:02,100 game, as long as you get all three characters and experience. 1584 01:20:02,530 --> 01:20:05,650 Like a couple stages per character I think you have, 1585 01:20:05,650 --> 01:20:07,890 you'll have a good time getting to that point and you'll 1586 01:20:07,890 --> 01:20:10,090 probably play the best parts of it. 1587 01:20:10,090 --> 01:20:12,010 I think if if you do that and that's probably. 1588 01:20:12,010 --> 01:20:15,170 A fun multiplayer too, if if Yeah, anybody cares about that. 1589 01:20:15,170 --> 01:20:18,210 Multiplayer is great if you can. If you can get that running on 1590 01:20:18,210 --> 01:20:20,890 the 64 with some friends, I think it's worth a shot. 1591 01:20:20,890 --> 01:20:21,730 Why not? Yeah. 1592 01:20:22,290 --> 01:20:24,410 And you know what? I still recommend? 1593 01:20:24,930 --> 01:20:27,490 Yeah, Yes, exactly. I still recommend. 1594 01:20:28,570 --> 01:20:31,830 I mean, I think the controls feel, which is crazy to say 1595 01:20:31,830 --> 01:20:34,350 because normally this wouldn't be the case, but the controls 1596 01:20:34,350 --> 01:20:36,990 feel better on the 64. But I still think it's worth 1597 01:20:37,390 --> 01:20:38,910 picking it up on the Xbox controller. 1598 01:20:38,910 --> 01:20:42,630 If you have Game Pass, it's on Rare Replay or you have an older 1599 01:20:42,670 --> 01:20:47,510 Xbox generation pick it up, this game and all the other ones on 1600 01:20:47,510 --> 01:20:49,430 it are well worth the price of admission, I would say. 1601 01:20:49,430 --> 01:20:54,040 So yeah, that's right. That's that's Jeff Forest Gemini 1602 01:20:54,040 --> 01:20:59,240 everybody we we we beat it to the ground just like or we or we 1603 01:20:59,240 --> 01:21:00,960 cut the head off. Jeff Forest, Gemini like all the 1604 01:21:00,960 --> 01:21:03,960 ants that we collected and I don't know whatever the the term 1605 01:21:03,960 --> 01:21:06,880 I don't know what it is we we. We blew them up into little 1606 01:21:06,880 --> 01:21:10,680 bloody pieces across the world. We we picked it up by the head 1607 01:21:10,680 --> 01:21:13,800 and we said here world, we're not collecting the rest of these 1608 01:21:13,800 --> 01:21:15,080 tribals. We're done. 1609 01:21:15,440 --> 01:21:17,360 We're done. We're going to YouTube. 1610 01:21:18,520 --> 01:21:22,880 Exactly. Actually, perfect transition, 1611 01:21:22,880 --> 01:21:26,080 which is exactly what professionals do they they they 1612 01:21:26,080 --> 01:21:28,200 mention their transitions and and segues. 1613 01:21:28,520 --> 01:21:30,520 Sir, you are a monster on YouTube. 1614 01:21:30,520 --> 01:21:33,720 Let's let everybody know what what you're doing lately and 1615 01:21:33,720 --> 01:21:36,720 where they can find you.

Followed by Twitter and then 1620 01:21:48,120 --> 01:21:51,290 Instagram. Feel free to follow me on all of 1621 01:21:51,290 --> 01:21:54,250 those. I am pretty active, but YouTube 1622 01:21:54,250 --> 01:21:58,650 is my bread and butter. Last thing I made was 1623 01:21:58,890 --> 01:22:04,010 overthinking it, the most powerful ammo of the DK crew, 1624 01:22:04,090 --> 01:22:08,890 which on a previous episode of Remember 64 we talked about 1625 01:22:08,890 --> 01:22:10,490 Donkey Kong 64. So I love it. 1626 01:22:10,490 --> 01:22:14,490 So any time to push some content related to that game, I I love 1627 01:22:14,490 --> 01:22:17,650 to do it. And if you like Donkey Kong. 1628 01:22:18,200 --> 01:22:23,080 If you like slow motion, fruit exploding, and if you like the 1629 01:22:23,080 --> 01:22:25,320 sound of my voice, you'll love this video. 1630 01:22:25,520 --> 01:22:28,400 So I recommend you. I will say I will interject just 1631 01:22:28,400 --> 01:22:33,240 slightly and say this video has more in it than you would think, 1632 01:22:33,320 --> 01:22:37,040 has different enough, it has enough different aspects in it 1633 01:22:37,520 --> 01:22:39,800 then then you would think when you would first click on it. 1634 01:22:39,800 --> 01:22:41,440 So just be prepared and in a good way. 1635 01:22:41,440 --> 01:22:44,400 Believe me in a good way but just be ready for something 1636 01:22:44,400 --> 01:22:47,760 different, fun and and goofy in the best possible way. 1637 01:22:47,760 --> 01:22:50,120 So well done, Sir. It's pretty silly. 1638 01:22:50,120 --> 01:22:53,000 People, people are latching onto it, which I'm super proud of. 1639 01:22:53,920 --> 01:22:58,600 And then one thing I just want to mention so Tim Stamper of 1640 01:22:58,600 --> 01:23:01,760 Rare, because we're talking about rare, he posted a comment 1641 01:23:01,760 --> 01:23:05,400 about Banjo Kazooie on Twitter and was like, hey. 1642 01:23:06,240 --> 01:23:09,440 I always intended Banjo to be more than it was. 1643 01:23:09,440 --> 01:23:12,160 Have a bunch of games in the series, grow the fan base, and 1644 01:23:12,160 --> 01:23:14,600 so I commented on that and I'm like, it can still be that. 1645 01:23:14,600 --> 01:23:19,080 Long story short, I started really pushing kind of a Twitter 1646 01:23:19,080 --> 01:23:27,680 campaign of hashtag bring Banjo back in hashtag 2023 E and I've 1647 01:23:27,680 --> 01:23:30,560 been pushing it every day and it is gaining traction. 1648 01:23:31,120 --> 01:23:35,080 So if you love Banjo and you love Rare, all I'm asking. 1649 01:23:35,680 --> 01:23:39,080 Go on Twitter, make a post.
