@xxTeutonicKnightxx I heard rumors that at one time there was going to be a second game in this series....but in the end Treasure teamed up with Nintendo and it became a Wario game instead!
@tehham Thanks, I remember taking a really long time my first few attempts as well. I remember it being (and feeling like) a really awesome final battle! They sure don't make games like they used to :P
Hey, I tried to get an S for this part, I did everything you did, but when it came to the boss jump kicking at Marina, Marina only blocked instead of grabbing it. Why is this?
Jump up and press grab without holding anything else. You should grab the foot. The timing isn't too bad, but might throw you off the first few times.
y does maria throw him around like that, she rescues him and sneaks up on her and that scares her, another when she saves theo from his evil brother, he's happy to see her and thought he was dead and that got to her and that threw him into space. U know for a fembot she's a mean bitch and i know this all sounds confusing for u all
lol yeah...the fact that the evil boss does not get totally subverted at the end traditionaly like all other games do but instead, makes this moan of creepy malfuntioning. its a mental thing
Yeah, that's true. But I was always too scared to fight the other bosses because they were ugly. This was the only boss that didn't look like it would eat me if I touched it. So I always killed this one.
lol yeah...the fact that the evil boss does not get totally subverted at the end traditionaly like all other games do but instead, makes this moan of creepy malfuntioning. its a mental thing
Funny story: first time I played Merco's 2nd form I beat it without getting hit and got the yellow gem! I'm pretty good at this game, not nearly as good as Veysey though, just thought it was a funny little story since it is usually a hard ass boss
If you follow exactly the sequence I do in this video, you'll never need to look at that pesky beam. If you press B without any direction, you can release his foot. This makes an S rank on this stage stupidly easy.
You must've been insane to have gotten an S rank on every stage (assuming the rest of the worlds were handled the same). Anything special happen besides being able to grab Teran during the ending?
Sorry if this question was already answered. I don't feel like cycling through nine pages of comments.
Well, i got one about the vid. Great strat by shaking instead of tossing. And the fire beam is VERY easy to avoid. Did you seriously not know how to avoid it? Nvm. I keep getting an "A".
Need crystal - I think if i can avoid getting hit. He always hits me with Lunars Beam shots from the gun.
hmm... i think the discussion about 'avoiding' the fire beam is to make the battle progress so that he doesn't even use it... not actually avoiding it when he uses it
There's still awesome games, you just have to look harder for them since the mainstream is into gaming now. If all's you do is peruse Gamespot's front page you're not going to find much. Phantom Crash (XBox), Devil May Cry 1 & 3 (PS2), Phantom Dust (XBox), Guilty Gear XX (PS2), Crimson Skies (XBox), Shadow of the Colossus (PS2), just to name a few less-mainstream games I really enjoyed. All very different genres. Gotta be something you might like, there.
I enjoyed Guilty Gear... was very good... Can't stand SotC... DMC 1 was... alright... it was sort of new and innovative at the time... I play all sorts of crap... just turns out that a good portion of it disappoints me recently... Meh, I spend most of my gaming time playing classics from back in the day...
You might argue that naustalgia has something to do with it... and I though so too... so I started digging up stuff I'd never played before on the nes and snes... and some of them are truely much more enjoyable than 95% of the crap that is sitting on the shelf right now... heh.. don't mind me.. just a bitter old fart wishing for the glory days to return :P
I think you're just not giving things a fair enough chance. Gaming really hasn't changed that much other than getting more complex (which IMO is a very good thing), you're probably just letting the bullshit like Madden and Halo get you down about the others. =/ Why'd you hate SotC?
Cause it felt like ICO (with good reason >_>) and I loathed ICO... played it for like 5 hours when it first came out and I can honestly say - there are only a handful of games I'd rather hate more :P
Halo really wasnt that bad for a console shooter... but I'm not a big FPS fan... I enjoyed it just the same (Co-op helped) madden is bull... you're right about that
it was completely uninteresting... it was like... a tech demo... you solve some puzzles and move around looking at what the ps2 can do... not to mention the look of your character irritated me to no end... but thats a personal thing.. nothing against the game :P
'What the PS2 can do'? The PS2 can only do as much as its developers. You shouldn't think of it that way because that's not what it is. Don't forget that actual people have created all that beautiful scenery, not the console. You can't look at it like something pre-done by a computer.
HAHA... sorry, I guess it came off a little the wrong way... I've taken school for game design - game programming and game graphics... I know all about what it takes to make a game.. I've actually been involved in 2 year long productions (noncommercial) one as a programmer and one as an artist... my view on games comes from a knowledged and analytical standpoint and in some cases - I'm sure this might have been the cause of my disapproval.
As for ICO - the point I meant was that they seemed to purposly do a lot of things because they 'looked pretty' or because they played with some technique the ps2 could handle... thus the tech demo statement... If I recall... in the beginning there was a lot of fog and atmosphere ... but it didn't seem to add to the game... this took away from the experience the game had to offer (which I didnt care for anyway, heh) and seemed to make people go 'ooo - ahhh' instead
Not always a bad thing. Graphics add to immersion which is exactly what I had with SotC. (I never played ICO myself, only looked on, since while I love the game dearly I fucking hate anything to do with escort missions, let alone an entire game of it.) I still play SotC often after about 4 runs, half to find cool new things to do against the Colossi and half to just admire the atmosphere.
Graphics CAN add to the immersion of a game... yes.. if they properly choose a style/variety of techniques that make sense within the world being presented... Final Fantasy X was done amazingly well (funny though... i hated it my first time through >_>) Metroid Prime was another game where they did everything almost flawless
Pfft. Square can't make up their minds for five seconds. They take mythology and 'inspiration' from every culture into the world, mash it into a giant ball without knowing what half of it is, ship it off with a half-assed story and call it a game. Prime was good though, though they should have just let it die instead of doing a Zelda and practically repeating the story (and style, and gameplay, etc) word-for-word with 2.
While a lot of squares stuff isn't particularly good nowadays... ff4 had some good qualities... but I think people give it too much credit... battle system in 5 was amazing... 6 has some of the best chracter development (if only they didnt have EVERY FRIGGING CHAR have a 'tragic' background) Kefka was a villan to end all villans... 7/8/9 aren't particulary appealing to me... and like I said - 10 started crappy, but the more I played it, the more i liked it...
Prime 2 sorta suffered my ffx problem... hated it... but more i played it... i kinda dont mind it now (nothing compared to prime 1 though)... I haven't been overly interested in zelda since LttP... OoT rubbed me the wrong way... WW was like ffx/mp2... hated then eventually liked... TP was ok... but like you said - same story with minor gameplay tweaks...
Yeah, the old SNES FF's were good. It's 7-12 that shit me off. Back when 6's story was original instead of 7/9 with different characters or 8 without a dumbass highschool-mentality romance plot. Zelda, I think the only one I liked since LttP was Majora's Mask. And Prime 2 and 3 can just get bent as far as I'm concerned. :3
I agree with you in every way man. Except for the fact that Major's Mask was a horrible game. And that Ocarina of Time was the best Zelda game in the series. Oh, and the play station FFs were some of the best and original games I have ever played (I did play and like the SNES ones BEFORE as well). And that Metroid Prime 2 kicked a lot of ass, so I'm really looking forward to Metroid Prime 3 on the Wii. But other than than, right on dude!
What? Are you kidding me?!! Ocarina of Time was perhaps the most ill-conceived blunder of our generation. Maybe if they added some Blind Guardian synth to the soundtrack it would have been okay... but best Zelda game? Really? Be reasonable, man. Nobody's buying your absolute garbage-talk!
Dude, RylandCorsair did you buy round tickets on the dumbass train, or are you just going one way? If Blind Guardian could actually write music rather than chant stupid crap while playing DnD or watching LoTR, they might have a chance at actually being good. Keep playing your Might and Magic games you dice throwing, knife whore!
I suppose nothing's more metal than a creepy 30-year-old hanging out at Pokemon conventions for some "Peek-at-chu" play with the kiddies; of course, you need an activity when Harry Potter gets too deep or emotionally complex. Quit slobbering over your mindless DBZ/Advent Children AMVs for a minute and maybe, in the meditative silence, you'll come to an epiphany: you've passed up worlds of intriguing tales and meaning for some over-sugared, rehashed mind-masturbation.
'you've passed up worlds of intriguing tales' - by those you must mean stories about wica and owigythingamabobins and ... satin worship. I hope you enjoy your time here defying He who is called I AM, because you will be spending an eternity in everlasting fire you evolution believing atheist!
Yeah, and I suppose I should stone my children to death for stealing a cookie. Next you'll tell me that Adam and Eve had dinosaurs in their garden and fossils were just "put there" to tease us. Or better yet, Pi is exactly 3. Yeah, I'm sure this you're just going to get more logical.
Dude, there were dinosaurs in Adam and Eve's time, they were just too big to fit on the arc. God didn't want them saved and he told Noah to never use a programing language with multiple inheritance. You use multiple inheritance too? Try reading the Bible, cause everything that science has done is meaningless compared to the awesome word of our creator. God does test us by your 'logic and science' but remember, God can put us to the test... he's God, so stop deriving complex classes!
Now you're just babbling (or is this your version of "speaking in tongues"?). Perhaps those are the ramblings of some backwards dotNet developer suckling at the teet of MS; sure, you don't need any programming skills whatsoever, but I'm positive you regularly copy/paste everything off CodeProject and call it a work of God (aka, the Flying Spaghetti Monster ). Yeah, try running *that* on a Mac, you Windows Vista meat puppet.
Warning to those of you reading this: RylandCorsair is a convicted sex offender who is not only a member, but the president of NAMBLA. When he tells you about his candy and his XBox360, just be careful and consult a consult an parent or guardian.
Being a member of the National Association of Marlon Brando Look-Alikes makes me ten times more awesome than even Solid Snake. In fact, Sam Fisher has Solid Snake tied up in a cold basement under Montana where the latter is repeatedly subject to beatings and sexual humiliation.
Also, "Solid Snake" sounds like a colloquial description of fecal matter.
Does that mean Sam Fisher is .. gay? And you play that game! Look, what you do while playing with your Splinter Cells and your XBoxs and other little kiddies is none of my concern, but please keep things to yourself there champ.
I'm going to go take a Ryland and wipe my Corsair.
Oh right. Angsty kid who doesn't remember his past goes off to save the world from a psychotic villain with no reason other than 'I feel like it', complete with his over-busty melee-using female (COUGH AKANE ARCHETYPE), a big angry black man, a demure female healer, a furfag, a hyperactive ninja, and an angsty-enough-to-rival-Cloud vampire? Nice. So original, right there.
Yeah, all the reasons to like Final Fantasy VII. Final Fantasy VI (a great game) had just as colorful a cast and similar plotline, as did the games in the previous installments. WTF was Kefka, ExDeath, and Golbez's motivations? Sephiroth wanted to create an injury in the planet so that the life-stream would gather and he could become a god. Of course, SO many other villians have alreadty tried that.
Xbox doesn't have anything for games... but i gotta admit... what they did with the console dashboard and achievements/leaderboards really makes it seem like the most 'gamer' friendly console so far.... If only there was better games =/
Gears of War, Crackdown, Forza 2, Guitar Hero, Burnout Revenge, FEAR, Oblivion, Dead Rising, DiRT, Lost Planet, Chrome Hounds, Armored Core... And those are just ones -I- find interesting. Not to mention games being released this year, another 5+ interesting games... How can you say there needs to be better games?
You can't HONESTLY say not a SINGLE one of them interests you. Come on, Lost Planet at least; it's an arcade-style FPS from Capcom that's closer to a (or at least, an actual GOOD) 3D megaman than anything else. What about up-and-coming games? Assassin's Creed? DMC4? What games DO you play if not a single one of them interests you?
Heh... Blue Dragon looks decent... but I just hope it doesnt turn out to be the same-old rpg stuff... At least there will be things to do outside of battle :P
Perfect Dark was... alright.... but the lack of a pure time attack leaderboard aspect turned me off...
You're nuts. =P I dislike all those over-cutesy-style graphics so I haven't really followed Blue Dragon much. Have you played Crackdown? It was MUCH more than just the Halo-3-Beta-Package people made it out to be. Was basically GTA meets Marvel. Jumping along buildings only to land on the top of your teammate's car was fun as hell, though I'm a sucker for anything co-op.
Co-op helps things... but I've been playing games for a great many years... and have put in a LOT of hours... just seems that everything now-a-days has already been done... I think the last game to really 'tickle me pink' so to say was Katamari <3 Wii sports also did... but the Wii is kinda in a different catagory than regular games...
<< Videogames, writing and music have been my only three main hobbies for the last 15 years. I've put in my fair share of hours, that's for darn sure. XD (I'm not afraid to admit that 'cus I'm fit =P). Can't stand the Wii, too gimmicky. Lots of things have been done before, but that doesn't stop them from re-defining things.
Of course, I am disappointed that the VC is only brining out classics just as they were... extra features/content... even leaderboards or something of the such would have been nice... some incentive to rebuy some of those great classics
you can avoid it this way, which is essentially exploiting, or (I don't exactly remember, so this may take some tweaking) start on the far right side of the screen, wait till he fires it, and dash left as fast as possible... meh I should go find the rom for this and emulate it again so i could tell you for sure.
the real test would be to mail them for either a game that was unpopular and you hated and see if you get the same response, or mail them asking for a sequel to a game never made.
Kind of... not really... with my particular file, he goes left right away like ~70% of the time, so I usually just mash B... in this particular video, I actually waited to see if it would move left before throwing it... a lower time should be manageable..
So to avoid the fire beam, grab foot - slamx2 - release - grab foot - slamx3 - release - grab foot - slamx3 - release - grab - slamx3 - throw up - grab - slamx3 - throw up - get on right side - catch fist - throw fist and hit him - get on left side - jump - catch foot in air - slamx3 - throw up - dead
To release his foot, just press B without a direction.
He uses it after he takes so much damage... so I abuse that to do the most possible damage without triggering it. Then Hit him with his fist (which is a move that does the most damage to this boss) and catch his foot slamx3 and throw him up. If it didn't kill him, he would use the Fire Beam directly after.
It's all up to the game's initial developer "Treasure" (the same people who gave us Gunstar Heroes) to make a sequel, not Nintendo. Nintendo USA just localized it.
Nice there, I've never been able to grab the guy's foot as he jumps down at you.
And again, I know its been posted a million and one times. But could you upload the ending? Its not that I haven't seen it in full, its just now that I learned that Marina has two different possible ending images for her human form and I want to see the older one.
This game definatly needs a sequal, and i gotta agree with above the shake shake would be awsome with the remote but that'd be all the remote should have a play in.- ya it'd be easy to make throw in a new planet and give human marina a few accessories, and maybe throw in the old beastector as human. lol Nice vid tho!
Or just ignore the credits altogether. Or have all hell break lose and marina choosing to be a cyborg again. And the beastector could just be kidnapped again, but it'd be nice to see a new set of people to fight...
I was actually replaying jet force gemini the other day, not quite as good as I remembered it, but largely because of graphics and me having a difficult time remembering if a pixel was a guy or just the wall... Still a great game that needed a sequel.
I don't mind looks so long as I don't have difficulty playing. When I try to play the old doom, it's just so hard to tell what is a monster. Just so with JFG.
Replaying my old n64 games, and my goldeneye disappeared :( I'm gonna have to buy it from a friend or something
lol i've still got my Goldeneye but i lost my Banjo-Kazooie (loved the game to bits). The worst part is, i never actually got to complete it, i got to the final boss and then one day it just wasn't in my room anymore, lol
also, you can only catch his foot at the very end if you are in the air... if you miss that part, he will use the fire beam right away... maybe that was your issue?
I forget the specifics about it all, but after you damage him a certain amount he'll start using either his fist or the rapid shot and a little more damage after that he'll start using the fire beam.... either way, just follow what you see (hitting him on the ground but not throwing him) at first, then take every chance to slam 3 times and throw... you'll never see the fire beam again
yup... the pattern was specifically created to avoid him using either the series of shots from his gun or his Fire attack(which eats up a lot of time)... there is more to it, but the patternt itself works every time as long as you hit him with his fist
She'll shake you hard and destroy your balls!

There's still awesome games, you just have to look harder for them since the mainstream is into gaming now. If all's you do is peruse Gamespot's front page you're not going to find much. Phantom Crash (XBox), Devil May Cry 1 & 3 (PS2), Phantom Dust (XBox), Guilty Gear XX (PS2), Crimson Skies (XBox), Shadow of the Colossus (PS2), just to name a few less-mainstream games I really enjoyed. All very different genres. Gotta be something you might like, there.

I think you're just not giving things a fair enough chance. Gaming really hasn't changed that much other than getting more complex (which IMO is a very good thing), you're probably just letting the bullshit like Madden and Halo get you down about the others. =/ Why'd you hate SotC?
Shinkada 4 years ago
Cause it felt like ICO (with good reason >_>) and I loathed ICO... played it for like 5 hours when it first came out and I can honestly say - there are only a handful of games I'd rather hate more :P
Halo really wasnt that bad for a console shooter... but I'm not a big FPS fan... I enjoyed it just the same (Co-op helped) madden is bull... you're right about that
jVeysey 4 years ago
And what did you hate about ICO? >_>
Shinkada 4 years ago
it was completely uninteresting... it was like... a tech demo... you solve some puzzles and move around looking at what the ps2 can do... not to mention the look of your character irritated me to no end... but thats a personal thing.. nothing against the game :P
jVeysey 4 years ago
'What the PS2 can do'? The PS2 can only do as much as its developers. You shouldn't think of it that way because that's not what it is. Don't forget that actual people have created all that beautiful scenery, not the console. You can't look at it like something pre-done by a computer.
Shinkada 4 years ago
HAHA... sorry, I guess it came off a little the wrong way... I've taken school for game design - game programming and game graphics... I know all about what it takes to make a game.. I've actually been involved in 2 year long productions (noncommercial) one as a programmer and one as an artist... my view on games comes from a knowledged and analytical standpoint and in some cases - I'm sure this might have been the cause of my disapproval.
jVeysey 4 years ago
As for ICO - the point I meant was that they seemed to purposly do a lot of things because they 'looked pretty' or because they played with some technique the ps2 could handle... thus the tech demo statement... If I recall... in the beginning there was a lot of fog and atmosphere ... but it didn't seem to add to the game... this took away from the experience the game had to offer (which I didnt care for anyway, heh) and seemed to make people go 'ooo - ahhh' instead
jVeysey 4 years ago
Not always a bad thing. Graphics add to immersion which is exactly what I had with SotC. (I never played ICO myself, only looked on, since while I love the game dearly I fucking hate anything to do with escort missions, let alone an entire game of it.) I still play SotC often after about 4 runs, half to find cool new things to do against the Colossi and half to just admire the atmosphere.
Shinkada 4 years ago
Graphics CAN add to the immersion of a game... yes.. if they properly choose a style/variety of techniques that make sense within the world being presented... Final Fantasy X was done amazingly well (funny though... i hated it my first time through >_>) Metroid Prime was another game where they did everything almost flawless
jVeysey 4 years ago
Pfft. Square can't make up their minds for five seconds. They take mythology and 'inspiration' from every culture into the world, mash it into a giant ball without knowing what half of it is, ship it off with a half-assed story and call it a game. Prime was good though, though they should have just let it die instead of doing a Zelda and practically repeating the story (and style, and gameplay, etc) word-for-word with 2.
Shinkada 4 years ago
While a lot of squares stuff isn't particularly good nowadays... ff4 had some good qualities... but I think people give it too much credit... battle system in 5 was amazing... 6 has some of the best chracter development (if only they didnt have EVERY FRIGGING CHAR have a 'tragic' background) Kefka was a villan to end all villans... 7/8/9 aren't particulary appealing to me... and like I said - 10 started crappy, but the more I played it, the more i liked it...
jVeysey 4 years ago
Prime 2 sorta suffered my ffx problem... hated it... but more i played it... i kinda dont mind it now (nothing compared to prime 1 though)... I haven't been overly interested in zelda since LttP... OoT rubbed me the wrong way... WW was like ffx/mp2... hated then eventually liked... TP was ok... but like you said - same story with minor gameplay tweaks...
jVeysey 4 years ago
Yeah, the old SNES FF's were good. It's 7-12 that shit me off. Back when 6's story was original instead of 7/9 with different characters or 8 without a dumbass highschool-mentality romance plot. Zelda, I think the only one I liked since LttP was Majora's Mask. And Prime 2 and 3 can just get bent as far as I'm concerned. :3
Shinkada 4 years ago
I agree with you in every way man. Except for the fact that Major's Mask was a horrible game. And that Ocarina of Time was the best Zelda game in the series. Oh, and the play station FFs were some of the best and original games I have ever played (I did play and like the SNES ones BEFORE as well). And that Metroid Prime 2 kicked a lot of ass, so I'm really looking forward to Metroid Prime 3 on the Wii. But other than than, right on dude!
Joppie69er 4 years ago
What? Are you kidding me?!! Ocarina of Time was perhaps the most ill-conceived blunder of our generation. Maybe if they added some Blind Guardian synth to the soundtrack it would have been okay... but best Zelda game? Really? Be reasonable, man. Nobody's buying your absolute garbage-talk!
Blind Guardian ftw

I suppose nothing's more metal than a creepy 30-year-old hanging out at Pokemon conventions for some "Peek-at-chu" play with the kiddies; of course, you need an activity when Harry Potter gets too deep or emotionally complex. Quit slobbering over your mindless DBZ/Advent Children AMVs for a minute and maybe, in the meditative silence, you'll come to an epiphany: you've passed up worlds of intriguing tales and meaning for some over-sugared, rehashed mind-masturbation.
Btw, Majora's Mask ftw
RylandCorsair 4 years ago
'you've passed up worlds of intriguing tales' - by those you must mean stories about wica and owigythingamabobins and ... satin worship. I hope you enjoy your time here defying He who is called I AM, because you will be spending an eternity in everlasting fire you evolution believing atheist!
Joppie69er 4 years ago
Yeah, and I suppose I should stone my children to death for stealing a cookie. Next you'll tell me that Adam and Eve had dinosaurs in their garden and fossils were just "put there" to tease us. Or better yet, Pi is exactly 3. Yeah, I'm sure this you're just going to get more logical.
Save me, Jeebus!
RylandCorsair 4 years ago
Dude, there were dinosaurs in Adam and Eve's time, they were just too big to fit on the arc. God didn't want them saved and he told Noah to never use a programing language with multiple inheritance. You use multiple inheritance too? Try reading the Bible, cause everything that science has done is meaningless compared to the awesome word of our creator. God does test us by your 'logic and science' but remember, God can put us to the test... he's God, so stop deriving complex classes!
Joppie69er 4 years ago
Now you're just babbling (or is this your version of "speaking in tongues"?). Perhaps those are the ramblings of some backwards dotNet developer suckling at the teet of MS; sure, you don't need any programming skills whatsoever, but I'm positive you regularly copy/paste everything off CodeProject and call it a work of God (aka, the Flying Spaghetti Monster ). Yeah, try running *that* on a Mac, you Windows Vista meat puppet.
RylandCorsair 4 years ago
God works for Microsoft(John 69:69). You know they have the Bible on CD, you can prob find a torrent you h4x0r if you don't know how to read well.

I'm afraid I can't understand what you're talking about; spit Bill Gates john-thompson out of your mouth and maybe we can communicate.
Also, never put "Bible on CD" into your CD drive; it'll install a virus (aka, religion) on your computer.

Being a member of the National Association of Marlon Brando Look-Alikes makes me ten times more awesome than even Solid Snake. In fact, Sam Fisher has Solid Snake tied up in a cold basement under Montana where the latter is repeatedly subject to beatings and sexual humiliation.
Also, "Solid Snake" sounds like a colloquial description of fecal matter.
RylandCorsair 4 years ago
Does that mean Sam Fisher is .. gay? And you play that game! Look, what you do while playing with your Splinter Cells and your XBoxs and other little kiddies is none of my concern, but please keep things to yourself there champ.

Yeah, all the reasons to like Final Fantasy VII. Final Fantasy VI (a great game) had just as colorful a cast and similar plotline, as did the games in the previous installments. WTF was Kefka, ExDeath, and Golbez's motivations? Sephiroth wanted to create an injury in the planet so that the life-stream would gather and he could become a god. Of course, SO many other villians have alreadty tried that.

Gears of War, Crackdown, Forza 2, Guitar Hero, Burnout Revenge, FEAR, Oblivion, Dead Rising, DiRT, Lost Planet, Chrome Hounds, Armored Core... And those are just ones -I- find interesting. Not to mention games being released this year, another 5+ interesting games... How can you say there needs to be better games?
Shinkada 4 years ago
Because none of them are interesting or overly fun :P
jVeysey 4 years ago
You can't HONESTLY say not a SINGLE one of them interests you. Come on, Lost Planet at least; it's an arcade-style FPS from Capcom that's closer to a (or at least, an actual GOOD) 3D megaman than anything else. What about up-and-coming games? Assassin's Creed? DMC4? What games DO you play if not a single one of them interests you?
Shinkada 4 years ago
Heh... Blue Dragon looks decent... but I just hope it doesnt turn out to be the same-old rpg stuff... At least there will be things to do outside of battle :P
Perfect Dark was... alright.... but the lack of a pure time attack leaderboard aspect turned me off...
jVeysey 4 years ago
You're nuts. =P I dislike all those over-cutesy-style graphics so I haven't really followed Blue Dragon much. Have you played Crackdown? It was MUCH more than just the Halo-3-Beta-Package people made it out to be. Was basically GTA meets Marvel. Jumping along buildings only to land on the top of your teammate's car was fun as hell, though I'm a sucker for anything co-op.
Shinkada 4 years ago
Co-op helps things... but I've been playing games for a great many years... and have put in a LOT of hours... just seems that everything now-a-days has already been done... I think the last game to really 'tickle me pink' so to say was Katamari <3 Wii sports also did... but the Wii is kinda in a different catagory than regular games...
jVeysey 4 years ago
<< Videogames, writing and music have been my only three main hobbies for the last 15 years. I've put in my fair share of hours, that's for darn sure.

Shinkada 4 years ago

Of course, I am disappointed that the VC is only brining out classics just as they were... extra features/content... even leaderboards or something of the such would have been nice... some incentive to rebuy some of those great classics

aterimperator 4 years ago
you can avoid it this way, which is essentially exploiting, or (I don't exactly remember, so this may take some tweaking) start on the far right side of the screen, wait till he fires it, and dash left as fast as possible... meh I should go find the rom for this and emulate it again so i could tell you for sure.
aterimperator 4 years ago
the real test would be to mail them for either a game that was unpopular and you hated and see if you get the same response, or mail them asking for a sequel to a game never made.
aterimperator 4 years ago
Kind of... not really... with my particular file, he goes left right away like ~70% of the time, so I usually just mash B... in this particular video, I actually waited to see if it would move left before throwing it... a lower time should be manageable..
jVeysey 4 years ago
So to avoid the fire beam, grab foot - slamx2 - release - grab foot - slamx3 - release - grab foot - slamx3 - release - grab - slamx3 - throw up - grab - slamx3 - throw up - get on right side - catch fist - throw fist and hit him - get on left side - jump - catch foot in air - slamx3 - throw up - dead
To release his foot, just press B without a direction.
Hope that helps
jVeysey 4 years ago
He uses it after he takes so much damage... so I abuse that to do the most possible damage without triggering it. Then Hit him with his fist (which is a move that does the most damage to this boss) and catch his foot slamx3 and throw him up. If it didn't kill him, he would use the Fire Beam directly after.
jVeysey 4 years ago
Hah! This is one of those boss fights that makes you laugh every time...

And again, I know its been posted a million and one times. But could you upload the ending? Its not that I haven't seen it in full, its just now that I learned that Marina has two different possible ending images for her human form and I want to see the older one.
JONJONAUG 5 years ago
This game definatly needs a sequal, and i gotta agree with above the shake shake would be awsome with the remote but that'd be all the remote should have a play in.- ya it'd be easy to make throw in a new planet and give human marina a few accessories, and maybe throw in the old beastector as human. lol Nice vid tho!

Or just ignore the credits altogether. Or have all hell break lose and marina choosing to be a cyborg again. And the beastector could just be kidnapped again, but it'd be nice to see a new set of people to fight...

Don't forget tetrisphere...
I was actually replaying jet force gemini the other day, not quite as good as I remembered it, but largely because of graphics and me having a difficult time remembering if a pixel was a guy or just the wall... Still a great game that needed a sequel.

I agree with you there about the graphics but i tend to pay less attention to the looks and more on the gameplay

also, you can only catch his foot at the very end if you are in the air... if you miss that part, he will use the fire beam right away... maybe that was your issue?
jVeysey 5 years ago
How do you make it so THE Beastector doesn't use fire beam?
gildasmagnus 5 years ago
I forget the specifics about it all, but after you damage him a certain amount he'll start using either his fist or the rapid shot and a little more damage after that he'll start using the fire beam.... either way, just follow what you see (hitting him on the ground but not throwing him) at first, then take every chance to slam 3 times and throw... you'll never see the fire beam again
jVeysey 5 years ago
but the fire beam adds flavor...
