I'm beginning to see why I hadn't heard of this game before this LP...

This whole game has just been a big long chain of unfair and annoying ever since we started the prison section. Do we ever get to go back to the starting areas of the game? I remember there were a few places we didn't visit.

We have a robot capable of genocide and we will be using it for anything other than that. I think that's meant to be one of the jokes.

I remember there were a few places we didn't visit. We will get back to the original area of the game and we will visit both of the locations that we missed, I should have explored those places before I advanced the plot. I've taken a couple of screenshots of the locations. Here is the Omniclub, it's closed and the only things that we can interact with are the sign and the door:  The other place that we didn't visit was the Junk Ship. There's only one thing that we can interact with, a crashed car that Feeble is more than happy to play around with:

This is going to end with a good old switcheroo and Filbert being dragged off to Feeble's intended death, isn't it?

 Merry Christmas everyone! Well, it's the 25th here in England right now. In this episode, I rant a little about the chemistry puzzle before completing it. We also make our escape from Filbert's laboratory, kill some of the local wildlife and manipulate the native population into working for us. I hope you all have a good time doing whatever you're going to do today!

I was surprised SAM didn't just melt the door since he showed he could do that to our ship's hull

 In this episode, we finally find a way to escape the planet Filb and get back to Metro Prime. The next video will be the utter bullshit segment, the main one amongst all the others, where the developer's released an official saved game so people could progress past it. I've already tried the debug menu which also works as a bypass, I'll show it all off and why when I record the next episode.

As much as I forgot about the chemistry puzzle, the solution is always the same so you can use a guide to get through it. I'm not going to spoil anything with this one, this one is meant to be "fun."

I'm not going to spoil anything with this one, this one is meant to be "fun." Seeing as our character is in an arcade, I'm guessing it's some form of horrible minigame(s). This is the right era for it, and it might even be one of those things where modern processor speeds make it far faster or harder than originally intended.

I've just finished recording the arcade segment and it was disgusting to record, I disliked it with a passion and I'm glad that it's over! I just wanted to share this before I've calmed down and have finished editing an hour's worth of recording into about five minutes of anything tangible.

 Here it is, the part of the game that annoyed people so much the developers released a save game to circumvent it. The mini-games are randomised and are of varying degrees of difficulty and time limits. What doesn't help is that there is another mini-game where you can lose a good chunk of tokens because of horrible mechanics, you can see just how little pressure is needed in the video to actually collect two items from it. This part of the game is horrible because it's mandatory and there is no quick solution in-game, you have to do it to progress. Thankfully, ScummVM comes with a debugger and I show off just how good that it can be in the video. In addition to the mini-games, this video was a pain to record in other ways. When I did a test run, the Goblin Bashing appeared three times in a row for the first round, but when it came to recording it took no less than a dozen attempts for it to appear again. You can't quit the mini-games either, if you are stuck then you have to wait out the timer. The coin game showed up no less than five times and it lasts for at least four minutes. I mentioned the grabber mechanics above because they are very deceiving and unfair, it's twenty tokens a pop and there are no hints on how to adjust it correctly. Usually, I try and look at anything differently and try to take something positive from it. I'm sorry to say that the only positive that I can take from this part of the game is that it's over. The next part of the game will involve exploring some new areas. Rocket Baby Dolls fucked around with this message at 17:10 on Jan 5, 2020 |

I suppose you could savescum a bit here, and if you are lucky enough to get three easily beatable games in a row you might be able to progress a lot faster, but thats a lot of if's. I've been playing the Coin Game recently and I'd definately recommend that to anyone if you want to experience a real arcade.

God, I can hear your clenched teeth through this one. I was vaguely aware of this part of The Feeble Files, but fuuuck it's bad. It's so bad  .That announcer is the insufferable icing on the cake. "No way! YOU'VE LOST!  "

 I thought that the last episode was the worst one so far, this one wasn't much better. In this episode, we encounter an unashamedly racial stereotype that really caught me by surprise and it threw me off afterwards. We meet someone new and are immediately an rear end in a top hat to them, we also visit a couple of new locations and become even more of a dick. We do something nice for someone at the end though. I'm not going to spoil anything but this episode made me feel very uncomfortable very early on.

Ugh that camera/porthole puzzle is so dumb. "I'll send a distraction to the port, watch out for it" and the answer isn't to go to the port, but to go to a completely random window and look out of it with a camera to cause the ship to arrive by magic I do like the "What do you think I would do?" "Get someone else to sort it out for you" joke though, props for that

This is definitely a game with solid writing (aside from the racist caricature obviously), but terrible gameplay ideas. Not just the puzzles, but the greeting every time you open your inventory, which grates really quickly.

 In this episode, Feeble does a lot of things that I really can't explain but we do them because we have to. We go to the Omni Club and do some things that make no sense, we go to the confessional for some reason and then we do things at the airlock just because. This episode was a lot shorter than intended even though I over-recorded, travelling around takes up a lot of time in this game. CountryMatters posted:Ugh that camera/porthole puzzle is so dumb. "I'll send a distraction to the port, watch out for it" and the answer isn't to go to the port, but to go to a completely random window and look out of it with a camera to cause the ship to arrive by magic Most adventure games had progression which was plot-based or made sense logically. But unfortunately, there were many games that invoked nonsensical actions and/or had sequences which were extremely tedious to trigger. Welcome to the latter, you're going to love this video!

This reminds me of the infamous cat hair mustache puzzle, in that it requires actions that extend beyond what is expected or what is reasonable and could only make sense in retrospect if at all. In some cases our actions don't have expected results but are required regardless.

Doubleposting but I think the part I find the most frustrating, and only because it keeps coming up, is Feeble's loving watch. Like let's be frank, Full Throttle's item menu wasn't the greatest but it was serviceable. Monkey Island loving came out before this and its menu looked like a 4x3 grid which was easy to navigate and required minimum scrolling bullshit. And if the encyclopedia is such a large part of its game, why didn't the company give the players more than 5 loving lines? Just have the watch pop open a hologram menu and give the text the entire screen. I cannot imagine that was harder to program than this poo poo.
