 The Story so Far: "Eight years have passed since Andross was finally overthrown by the daring Star Fox team. Following the celebrations, Fox McCloud and friends returned to the only life they knew - an endless patrol of the Lylat system, guarding against ongoing threats to their territory. Boredom soon struck, causing Fox's close friend Falco Lombardi to simply disappear, leaving only rumor to suggest that his lone-wolf nature had finally led him to pursue a more free and profitable life. Then Slippy Toad traded his pilot's wings for a place in Weapons R&D, demonstrating a natural flair for invention, while Fox's old friend and mentor Peppy Hare retired from active flight duty to concentrate on a role as navigator and general advisor. The Great Fox itself had also seen better days. Keeping a ship of that size in prime condition cost serious money and well-paid jobs for fighter pilots and mercenaries were increasingly difficult to come by. So it was that fox and co. found themselves drifting through the galaxy, waiting and hoping for General Pepper's hologram to pop up with just the kind of high-stakes, high-reward mission that they needed..." About the Game: The 3rd game in the Star Fox series goes a different direction from the usual rail shooting and All-Range Mode action, taking Fox McCloud "Out of the cockpit... and into epic adventure!" for the first time. Indeed 90% of the game is spent on foot as Fox, solving puzzles, running errands, and completing one-off gameplay challenges with Rail Shooting sections few and far between. The game gets compared to Zelda quite a lot with this review from IGN even calling it "a rip off of Shigeru Miyamoto's Zelda offerings in just about every way possible". While you can definitely feel the 3D Zelda inspiration, Star Fox Adventures still does it's own thing a lot of the time for better or worse (mostly worse). About the Let's Play: Unlike our previous Let's Plays that are all post-commentary, this one will be done live! Which is definitely supposed to be a parallel to Star Fox Adventures being different from the previous games and not because we tried post-commentary with this game first and I didn't like it so I scraped the idea. Joining me on this Star Fox Adventure will be Lynxwinters who has never seen the game and Mico, starting video 6, who has only played a bit of the beginning. While I plan on spending most of my time goofing on this game, I do genuinely enjoy it even when it's being a butt!  Part 1 - Krystal Part 2 - A Tricky Rescue Part 3 - Grubtubs Part 4 - Gate Keeper Rescue Part 5 - The Darkice Mines Part 6 - Volcano Force Point Temple Part 7 - Moon Mountain Pass Part 8 - Krazoa Palace Part 9 - CloudRunner Fortress pt1 Part 10 - CloudRunner Fortress pt2 Part 11 - Ocean Force Point Temple Part 12 - The Lightfoot Village Part 13 - The Walled City Part 14 - Hole Part 15 - The Krazoa Test of Patience Part 16 - Dragon Rock Part 17 - Back to the Beach Part 18 - Krazoz Test of Knowledge Part 19 - Star Faux Adventures Part 20 - Extras  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tq2ueBJICwo The full playlist can be found here.

BlazetheInferno posted:I will note, in this game it's been about 8 years since Star Fox 64. This means they've been without major jobs for that long. So uhh, by this point they're kinda pinching their pennies. IIRC, the reason the Arwings seem to have lost features and generally be worse all-around in-universe is that they've had to strip various parts to sell off to get by. The past few years in general have been... unkind to the team. That reminds me that I should add a story section to the OP. Get that post looking nice. Feel free to discuss it but if it's a spoiler for the game then please use the spoiler tags.

Samovar posted:Wait - the original place you are in is called ThornTail valley... Why the hell are there no stegosaurine dinosaurs at this place?! No-one with a thagomizer? The dinos that live there are called Thorntails only because they have spikes on their tails. This game names all it's dinosaurs like it's a Land Before Time film.

Oops I'm late updating the thread because I got distracted by Evo! We beat the first boss, Galdon, and got the first Spellstone. Now we need to head straight to the Volcano Force Point Temple to put it back so the planet doesn't explode. We'll do that right after we hit some Fire Weed, learn lore about the Sharpclaw, and learn how to chill out. Mico finally joins us starting this video! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jT_BG9t1630

Now that's we've returned the first Spellstone to the Volcano Force Point Temple it's time to head back to Thorntail Hollow and figure out what to do next. That is as long as we don't get sidetracked on the way back by a big talking Krazoa. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=honCXAub4U0 There won't be a video next week since life has been busy as we haven't had time to record.

Kinu Nishimura posted:oh thank god you got that magic upgrade. it is the most minor thing but it was actually bothering the poo poo out of me because it's right there and refilling magic across the entire game is such annoying busywork. Yeah refilling magic is the worst and that magic upgrade is so easy to miss. Even when I know it's there I never realize I've forgotten it until I'm already in Moon Mountain Pass. I don't think I've ever used Ice Blast on a sharpclaw before. I'll have to try that out.

Kinu Nishimura posted:wow that actually is way shittier than i remember from my primal childhood memories. the ice i mean, i actually do not remember the content of this dungeon whatsoever aside from the bike race. I think the Ice Blast works better if you do it from first-person instead of using it while locked on to an enemy. Even though Cloudrunner Fortress is a pretty underwhelming "dungeon" it's kind of relaxing. Like the calm before the storm that is the rest of the game. Tree Reformat posted:The first half of the game is much more memorable than the second half. There is A Reason for this. Yup, it's all downhill from here!

Kasrkin posted:The test of strength is so dumb and was reeally frustrating as a kid. because they programmed it with rubberband for whatever insane reason, so if you start mashing like a maniac right at the start, you have no chance of winning this thing. It's a lot easier now as an adult where mashing good for 10 seconds isn't too hard.

But the worst is over and now it's all downhill from here.
