your evil twin posted:That level seemed so much better than the earlier ones! Despite not being experienced at FPS games, they seem to have a full grip on how to do good old fashioned corridor shooting. If only they had concentrated on that, rather than including all those bullshit sniper sections earlier in the game. Also, thanks for spotting that reference as it flew completely past me! Guinan seemed familiar, but I couldn't place it. Never really enjoyed Star Trek that much myself.

Kiavahr posted:Well now I am hyped as gently caress for the next Perturbator album. That'll learn me to not have Soundcloud notifications on. your evil twin posted:That was very cool. Of course, the whole "lab with monsters in tubes" thing has been done a ton of times... but Mace Griffin did it well. The morgue where you open each individual drawer was a nice interactive touch. Loads of nifty sciency things all over the place. Really dig those molecule holograms, I want one in my home. The way that monster moved when you got close to the tube was great! I also liked the details/environment in this level. As said before, they really did a good job at giving you a diverse setting for every mission. And really, there is not very much repetition aside from the standart bandit guys. The exact reasons behind the SCIENCE will become clearer in the future. The senator will actually decrypt the data and tell us about it. I tried giving a few wrong hints, but I think it's not too hard to figure out what went into the creation of the creatures. Aside from the Valleakan faces, the large and hairy creatures clearly had Jaldari in them. However, we don't really know if there actually were human parts in them. Mabye in the babies because they only had two legs? Hard to say. And the tentacles/spider legs are  And yeah, that jump was bullshit. Like, your normal jump velocity will always carry you to the ledge above the hole, and you can't just drop down into it. So you have to figure out that you have to make your jump early, instead of being close to the edge of the platform. I walked back and forth so much on my practice run  Glazius posted:Genetics lab full of freaks inside an exploding asteroid?  Diogenes Bub posted:When I first saw the thing in the test tube I thought, "My god, they're breeding Metroids! Will those Space Pirates never learn?!" And yes, the game will get more interesting now that we're in the last stretch. The next mission will move us away from the plot again though. However, we'll meet an old firend of Mace and get to see a new setting, so it's not a bad level. It's kinda weird how they spaced the important story bits though. It's hard to keep up with the bits and stay interested in what's going on, when you have so many missions that don't really play into it. Speaking off the plot, I deliberately kept the description of the new gun brief and underwhelming. Because really, when you pick it up and use it, you'll be dissapointed that your new laser rifle is just a crappy tazer-beam. It will become crucial in the end of the game, but I can't say why without spoiling the twist

Nah, the freaks will not become our new enemy. If that would have been the twist, I would have said that it's dumb. Their creation, or rather their creator, plays into the story, but it's not too important overall. Thing is, I really can't say too much at this point without spoiling the plot, so just trust me there, okay?. There are four chapters left, and I already said that the next one will take us away from the plot again. Though, at least the person that we meet is important to Mace, and will stick around for a bit. So everything will be explained in the last three chapters. The twist includes a new faction that we haven't seen so far, but it's also not a simple as that. I don't want to make it sound too complicated, or better than it is, but I really can't say more without ruining it.

Nah, the secondary fire does use up your ammo. However, it's only 10 for charging that thing, while the beam takes 20, so it's easy to miss. And I also didn't point it out. And yeah, Valleakans are apparently the only race that knows how to make business

Hey guys! I just quickly wanted to let you know, that the next video may take a little while longer. The next chapter is bullshit-hard x2. I'm seriously thinking about cheating, cause I've banged my head against it several times now, and still haven't even made it to the middle of it. I'm sorry if you expected this post to be an update, but have some cool reasons for why this level is bad. -Awful checkpoint placement -Tons of snipers/rocket dudes -Sonic cannons that gib you in one hit -At least one instance of awful design killing your companions which fails the level -God drat burst-fire sniper rifles

It's real comforting to know that y'all would support my cheating, buuut I just found out that the cheats only work in the console versions. Yep, they didn't bother to include them for PC! I found a trainer for ammo, but that's not really the problem. I've decided to ditch my usual practice run, and will record this in one go and just edit around my failures.

Huh, that's weird to hear. I mean, I don't have a console so I can't compare, but I had a good share of bugs so far. I showed a few, like clipping through the air-taxi, or that one time where the level flipped out around me. Another consistent bug is falling through the floor when you die and the game respawns you past a level transition. I think I also showed that at the end of a video. But yeah, that actually happens quite often! Sound bugs are pretty rare though, and I've only seen enemies cut off their battle taunts mid-sentence sometimes.

Heh, the background for our chat was kinda tricky tbh. We went on longer than I thought, and I even had to ditch a few things from my side. And don't ask me how long I had to dig to find a fitting song this time And while you're right about the controls of the dropship we boarded, the one we got to fly was a different one. If I remember to do it, I'll check, but I'm pretty sure you can take either seat. Also, I'm kinda surprised that the reveal at the end passed through this thread in silence.

Haha, doing that never occurred to me! I showed the gatling a couple of times when it made sense to use it, but I never thought about using it to gently caress with random Npcs.

hectorgrey posted:I think I stopped playing this game during the cruise liner mission, but the way they managed to seamlessly blend FPS and space sim gameplay was brilliant. It's a pity no other game has ever done that since, since that was the most successful part of this game in my opinion. I think the level with the rustlers would probably have been better placed immediately after you rescue your prison buddy - give him a gun, give him useful poo poo to do in the level, and then make it so that you actually care when he gets shot. I mean, it's the only mission not directly related to the plot; an opportunity to shoot lots and lots of the game's weaker enemies with the games most powerful weaponry might have been fun as a brief change of pace, and it would have meant that all of the plot stuff prior to the release would have actually happened sooner in the game.

Seems this game has a strong beginning and a strong end but an absolutely dreadful middle. And thanks for the science! Should have known that you'd be able to say something about this. I'll add it to the long list of strange details that the dev's cared about With that said, I realized later that I completely forgot to comment on it. I too think that it's a neat landmark in that space fight! radintorov posted:I wonder what causes that Richter clone bug. Still, it's a funny bug. On topic of the Richter clone, gently caress if I know! Like, the only explanation I could give is that he's maybe a remnant from an earlier design for the map that didn't get deleted. Maybe they previously had him running away from you or something like that. Or he could be the result of a cutscene that got deleted. The way scenes in this game work is by using your actual player model, and other models that are already in the level. So the camera just changes and the models move and act on a script until it's over. I really can't come up with any other explanation than him being a left over that slipped through the cracks.

PRL412 posted:So, they introduced a Ghostbusters mechanic out of nowhere and programmed the ethereal creatures to hit like trucks? But yeah, gently caress those ghosts! It baffles me how you can design a level like that. I mean it's understandable that you want to make the last level hard, but how they did it is just fake difficulty garbage. I think that I'm a fairly competent FPS player, but you can't expect me and all the other people that play your game to just dodge all those shots without slipping. I really can't understand why they did that without giving you any means to recover between encounters. As I said in the video, they could have made up some alien bullshit that heals you somehow. Nobody would have questioned that because they'd be happy to have it. And it's pretty sad, because the basic idea behind the level is good! Making your way through a scary ship full of dangerous ghosts makes for a great atmosphere, but it turns into frustration after you've died a couple of times. Oh well, bless my bunny hopping I guess Also, thanks for the flowers folks! I finsihed this game when I was young, but man, I must have worn some major rose tinted glasses when I decided to Lp it. I'm not going to lie, there were a couple moments where I was close to stop it. But I hate to leave people hanging so we're going all the way. Stay tuned for the ending!
