TieTuesday posted:Finally closing out mission 2 today. The game is about to really start poppin' off so enjoy the last shreds of "reason" while they're still here! "Leave the mask, Ethan" Wait maybe you should take care of that guy spraying you with a fire extinguisher, he might, you know, tell someone that Commander Punchington was wearing a Golystine morph suit, and it wasn't actually Golystine that ran down the hall and punched a man  I played this game a ton as a kid, and NEVER realized how ridiculous this stuff is

The dead man is totally punchable and they THOUGHT THAT YOU WOULD DO THAT, so they put in flavor text for it. But to punch anyone else is mission failure. This kind of lends more to the theory that lethal force is suppose to be a last resort kind of thing, or at least it's only the first thing you try in levels where you aren't explicitly trying to be sneaky like the levels in the video. What was that message you got on your phone when you punched the bartender? Phelps yelling at you to cut it out? I will also give them credit for at least putting in the effort of extra dialog for screwing around with the game in various ways, you don't really see that much anymore. Also those bathroom stalls are segregated just for the purpose of showing you,the player, that a man will go in one stall and a woman in the other. Of course thankfully no other person that has to poop goes into that bathroom the entire time you're doing that mission or things might be a bit awkward.

Hm, i don't know why i remember a maid being in this level. Maybe on Impossible or something? Speaking of Impossible, i believe there is an extra objective to actually bring down the scaffolding you get away on. Either you have to bring it down manually somehow or it's just not there until you create the distraction but in any case you can fail the mission if you jump out the window and it's not there. Also also unless TT is going to show it off next video there are multiple distractions in that room you can do, you can mess up that guy on the treadmill, you can push the button on the operating table and send the guy almost up through the ceiling and there might be one more that i'm forgetting but i definitely remember that one.

If my Dad had his way that game is the only one that we would still have for the N64, he's literally had that game since it launched and has played it all these years until now where he is sadly unable to now. Mostly because he found it relaxing and didn't want to spend the time to learn anything else.

You guys need to understand that the Ethan character model is one of the game's strengths. They didn't have the rights to use Tom Cruise's likeness so the model had to look like not Tom Cruise. It's a triumph.

I suggest everybody go watch a speedrun of this game and watch how fast they will do the Laser Drop room. Then just wait and see how Tie will do it  Although messing around in that level was one of my favorite things to do when i was younger, seeing from how far up you can drop Ethan when you get caught is pretty funny since the guards shoot you off the rope and they point their guns at you as you fall the whole way, then Ethan gets up like he didn'f just fall flat from 50 feet off the ground.

Maybe it was just my copy, but any time someone shot me down, the game almost instantly went to the game over screen, so Ethan would be hurtling towards the ground, and the dude would yell "MOLES SHOU--" and instantly get cut off. I still have no idea what the heck he was yelling, come to think of it.

Just got around to watching the last two videos, here's a couple things: 1: Lightning man who you have to follow into the elevator has multiple dialogues depending on what you aim at him! The dart gun and the tazer are pretty similar, but if you point the spray can at him, he says something like "are you retarded" and instantly zaps you instead of keeping his arms up.2: You mentioned the game instantly failing you upon entering the pharmacy, you were right about it being because you had the gun still out, a nurse panics and hits the alarm. It took me months to realize this is what was happening. 3:  Holy poo poo they did NOT give a gently caress.

They did though, that's the amazing thing. This game was in development for I'd guess 3 years since I am pretty sure it was announced in 95 with the initial batch of N64 games. You can tell too, it has the feeling of a launch window game when a lovely developer would have no clue how a 3D action game SHOULD be made since there weren't many examples from competent developers to swipe ideas from yet. They put years of effort into this failure.

Maybe that's why I still can't help but to like the game even despite it being objectively bad. Compare that to a game like, say, Fable 3 or Dragon Age 2, where everyone was clearly decently skilled, but no one really gave enough of a drat to put their hearts into it. Man, now I actually feel bad for the MI devs

It was probably too late to change the core mechanics when it would have been obvious they should have. Also, this was the last game launched before the OCEAN sank!

AAAAAAAAAAAH I loving LOVED THIS GAME   God I am so glad you of all people decide to LP this game, this game is loving hilarious and terrible. I had no idea this was the last game made by Ocean Software but considering they made the Jurassic Park SNES game...yeah. I'm totally catching up with this now.  Glad to hear Bearjazz as well it's been a long time since I last heard from him. Also Kid Mode I completely forgot about and it turns the entire game into Team America: World Police.That is loving beautiful.

Brilliant video on all levels guys. Yo by the way here's how you're suppose to do the laser room instead of laughing like idiots https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmR-qlzhvNU So it's the levels after the next one where not being able to understand half of the text on screen really starts to mess with you, even with all cheats on so Ethan is an unkillable super fast death god but you can't actually do anything because the game kind of expects you to just quit the mission/kill yourself if you fail the objectives.

I know I played these levels, but I don't remember beating any of them. I really love that the plot is so far from the movie at this point that I've forgotten the radiation filled basement of the Embassy and I'm just annoyed at how they've changed the CIA stuff.

That...was loving beautiful I am so glad that everyone else had the same problems I did with that laser section because holy gently caress this. What really pisses me off the most is the draw distance on the lasers, like you get downwards and then in like SIX INCHES IN FRONT OF YOUR FACE the yellow one suddenly appears. Like, what the hell, HOW DO YOU gently caress UP DRAW DISTANCE ON A NINTENDO 64 WHEN YOU ALREADY SHOW ALL OF THE loving ROOM GOD DAMMIT

I didn't know that this was Ocean's last game but it certainly makes sense. Thanks for doing this LP, guys! This one of those games that definitely looks bad when you watch other people play it, but when you play it for yourself you realize it's so much worse than you ever imagined.

I'm between laughing and yelling the entire time I'm recording the material for the videos. It's just a constant stream of "Oh my god are you loving kidding me". I went and looked at your LP, and the number of failures per mission kind of gets the point across for lasers pretty drat well. (Spoilers: It is 20 times seriously gently caress the Terminal Room goddamn.)

I am actually certain during the slo-mo part that EVEN THOUGH IT LOOKED LIKE HE TOTALLY HAD A GUN, he was in fact pulling out a delicious Not-Coca Cola(tm) drink from his coat pockets. Because FOR SOME REASON, PEOPLE PUT THEM IN THEIR POCKETS, DRINK THEM, AND PUT THEM BACK IN THEIR POCKETS dramatically This mission is both one of the stupidest and yet funniest missions to play because of poo poo like this. I once played this with a friend of mine and SOMEHOW he had an old man with luggage be a shooter. An OLD MAN holding BAGGAGE somehow shooting a gun whilst holding them, it was bizarre as hell. It could also have been the fact the game does not count an enemy being not innocent until he ACTUALLY HAS THE GUN OUT and pointing, I know the game has bullshit like that too.
