Let's Take A Sidelong Stare At Star Strike part 3/3

[twilightshadowblade]

My favorite part was when the alien got blown up.

[kaz3kag3gaara]

Ha ha ha. Sony commercial for this video.

[antisadism]

I think Rakin is the name of the admiral.

[JanitorAntisocial]

Their acting doesn't evoke an air of "life-threatening space war" but rather a sports event.

The captain is their coach and their casual taunts during combat and chipper dialogue ("We really shredded them up!") while on their mother ship remind me of a goddamn football match.

[wizeoaldowl]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm fairly certain you don't have to thank your caterer in the credits.

[Blaziken20052000]

"How 'bout the planet Vagina?"

[danieldb631]

That ambassador was on so many wonderful drugs.

[SeraphicSIlencer]

If you can make it through this video, you can call them slowbeaf or diabetes....or snoopy, how splendid

[AnnePackrat]

Not sure if anyone else mentioned this, but this game actually came out in 2001, way after the Sega CD joined the great console graveyard in the sky. Good Deal Games rescued the (then) never released Star Strike and decided to publish it for any diehards who still owned a Sega CD.

[Whatupwidat]

This is like if the Red Dwarf team decided to make a drama rather than a comedy

[evrbody]

@Whatupwidat In fact, I'm pretty sure they swiped Kryten's body armor for their spacesuits.

[bntyhntr4157]

Anyone who watches Warehouse 13 knows that Snoopy is Agent Pete Lattimer.

[Wolfzor1]

WHAT AI this is just movies being played rofl

[skjamog]

bahaha, I just got the channel name.

[Paikerchu13]

Diabeetus: Can I take center... by myself?

Game: YES!

[Lazyguy22]

So the Protoids speak Greek. OF COURSE!

[ek180]

No retsupurae, we thank YOU.

[sideburnmike27]

No guy's on behalf of youtube - we thank you.

[Vaderkid123]

I like how one of the related videos is ~Waggle~

[ThreeSixXero]

Its almost like a low budget movie...OH WAIT.

[Wayof88]

Super Hero Guy Kazama would've wrecked those aliens, and this would've been over in Pt. 1.

[EternalGuardian07]

@Wayof88 Brains will be eaten, but it will be YOUR brain, not mine.

[jettythesunfish]

So three hits and the final boss is destroyed?

Typical.

[jimmerjimm]

This is the gaming equivalent of YouTube poop.

[LuigiFan210]

So what did the intro have to do with anything?

[inferno232]

The rave video that was made off of this is worth this game existing.

[GammaRidley]

No, Diabeetus, thank YOU.

[SenorSlopez]

Every time they warp into the asteroid field.....

TELEPORT!!!!!!!

[bobbyewing311]

May I just point out that....... FIRE CAN'T EXIST IN SPACE! THERE IS NO OXYGEN!!!!!

[leviathan1173]

God, I'm sick of these grotty, piss-stained graphics.

[Shadow78954]

that admiral sounded like he was planning to personally murder every single member of that space ship.

[OSVahn]

2:01

That must mean he's.... The Last Starfighter.

[bobthe5th]

@OSVahn YYYYEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!­

[leonflash]

More like STARSTRUCK!

[PaperMario15]

NO AMBASSADOR

WE THANK YOU!

[cyberhoodlum]

Not that I don't like the commentaries on bad LPs, but you should definitely do some more videos of your commentaries over hilariously bad games.

[doperification]

Do you guys realize how hypocritical your videos are?

[Mesarphelous]

@doperification Cry more.

[doperification]

@Mesarphelous You mad?

[Grendelynden]

@doperification Do you realize how much nobody else gives a shit?

[doperification]

@Grendelynden Obviously you do. XD @ lowtax fanboys mad that these guys are just as faggy as all the people they try to make fun of.

[SuperGlucose]

... do you think they were... proud of this game? I don't even understand. After it was over, did the designers look at this and think, "Yes. Yes. This is a money maker. Great job guys! This company is going exciting places thanks to you!"?

[steveharley0345]

Can I take center.. by myself...

YES!!

[Nessrox444]

You can tell he's Earth command because he has a map of Earth in the background!

[SQUIZZLER24]

Could this actually technically be classed as a "LONG"play?

[JanitorAntisocial]

Where's the joystick animator?

I'm calling bullshit.

[Seth2378]

I am positively tickled!

[EponymousKid]

I just realized it's possible the admiral guy's name is Rakin. Not that it makes sense for the head Protoid to know his name.

Wait, wait, I know. The two of them had a brief but bitter affair. The Protoid captain, smashed on brain nectar, drunk dialed Admiral Rakin and died before he could tearfully plead for him to come back.

[StreiBullet]

Am I the only one who kept hearing Pac-Man sound effects? lol

[Yamenade]

I like to think the joystick waggling is akin to a dog waggling its tail. The guy does it to show he's excited.

[JJ10DMAN]

The best part that didn't go mentuined was how the ambassador said we prevented a massacre. WHAT. One of the missions is explicitly about preventing the breeding of the enemy species!

[GregEdgar88]

I wish the Admiral was Guy Kazama

Alien Leader: "I will eat your brain Guy Kazama!"

Guy Kazama: "How interesting, but it shall be YOUR brain that will be eaten, not mine!"

[TheShadowCookie]

@GregEdgar88

Alien Minion: The human brain is a important dish to us. I can't let it go.

Guy Kazama: That makes me want to get it back even more!

[lich109]

@GregEdgar88 "I shall disobey the ambassador's orders because nobody can buy my feelings."

[ggamer2004]

YEAAS!

[BlackIceDragon2005]

Dead to Rights should be your copyrighted catchphrase at the end of every one of your let's play videos.

[Soragan]

@BlackIceDragon2005 Shadow agrees.

[Dunkelschwamm]

If a bunch of horribly made movie clips occasionally broken up by clicking a bunch constituted as a game, this would be the worst game ever made; but it doesn't. This isn't a game, it's a waste of time and money. Definitely isn't a waste of talent though, as none has been spent on this game.

[ILIKECEREALX]

I was hoping that at the end of the credits you'd see Rammer using the control stick one last time.

[cowboydan0]

there's so many unanswered questions!! i think a sequel is in order.

[handsomebrick]

Heavy Rain inspired space shooter.

[MitchZer0II]

Lazer_4.avi

Enemy_down_40.avi

Joystick.avi

[justinbrosam]

@MitchZer0II "Oh yeah, Star Strike! I remember that game!"

[TotalSimpleton]

The vacation DLC probably has the pilot waggling around a bottle from the ice bucket.

[sygnus5]

I just realised this entire game was shorter than a single episode of Battlestar Galactica, but probably cost $60 at launch. Just somethnig to think about.

[PKrockin]

@sygnus5 But the production values for Star Strike are through the roof! You can't get an experience like that on TV.

[POOPTURTLE]

Man, whoever's waggling that stick must have death grip by now.

[SomeDude1403]

the brain eaters heads weren't that badly done... wish i could say the same about any thing else

[ensouls]

Two people were carpenters for Star Strike.

[justinbrosam]

"Dead to Rights" is like Diabetus' and slowbeef's tag line anymore... and I couldn't be think of a more fitting one!

[cowboydan0]

@justinbrosam what language are you speaking? lol

[justinbrosam]

@cowboydan0 Um, I'm fairly certain I'm speaking English. I don't know why you would ask this but there's your answer.

[Reyson129]

I'd love it if there were Newgrounds reviews for this game.

[IcarusMoonsight]

The Laser Animation deserved the credit, it was shown for half the game.

[TonkarzOfSolSystem]

This game makes me cry. Someone spent a lot of money on those FMV and the game ended up so shit. Soooo shit.

[scrillionsQQ]

They just had to give credit for the Laser Animation

[ColonelVile]

FUCKING LOL.

[ObsidianFuture]

Did anyone notice that one of the set designers' first names was "Dragon"?

[cousinoer5]

Flowchart of this game: Cutscene Get Mission Get through the warp ring Shoot asteroids PEW PEW DISCO LASERS get in position Shoot pinheads Get to objective Shoot more pinheads Shoot miscellaneous self-destruct object of the planet / alien ship Another cutscene repeat

[somahiru]

@cousinoer5 how you dare to forget the JOYSTICK?!

[EternalGuardian07]

Meanwhile, hundreds of Protoid children are orphaned and their race starts to die out due to the Great Brain Nectar Famine. Way to go, heroes...

[MyChemicalBromance]

It said game over because you were playing as the protoids. That explains why you put the crosshair on your own ship too.

[NeverForgetWizet]

All these characters make Jack Slate look like a genius.

[MrColonelKFC]

I wonder how the game play would be changed if it was a steering wheel.

We may never know.

[Frozone470]

screw Starcraft we got this XD

[TheCoincidence]

More HLDJ material

[NCHammer326]

That thing with the joystick is the new SNES9X

[fuandon]

In the sequel, the AI gets breast cancer

[bloodrunsclear]

@fuandon

That would be a terrific idea for a game!

[Ghostracoon16]

Oh wait, this is a game?

[b74k3]

um...Star Fox on crack?

[MrColonelKFC]

@b74k3 Just a whole lot of LSD.

[thesacredbeast2000]

Tara introduced herself, Snoopy... introduced himself, Rammer got space jacked... no one did anything except joystick waggler and the guns

[Baljira]

You get a Game Over because you wasted 38 minutes of your life watching this shit.

[franzferdinand094]

I WILL EAT YOUR BRAIN RAKIN !!

[roedtop]

I demand a link to this guy

[mrmorozov9]

In 15 years, Star Strike 1/3, 2/3, and 3/3 will become 4/6, 5/6, and 6/6.

[SergeantBacon]

@mrmorozov9 

[bbqplatypus318]

Keith Emerson?  What the fuck?

[DissidentGenro]

Scrambled dialogue translated poorly by Google Translate.

[BohepansTheThird]

If I ever see another guy wiggling a joystick IN MY LIFETIME, I will run away, screaming. Enough is ENOUGH, Star Strike! Dammit... I'm gonna go play a nice D-Pad game (maybe something on the NES!), and try to forget that this game and/or any joysticks in any spacecraft ever existed...

*sighs* Battletoads ._.

[goldones0]

This game literally gave me epilepsy.

10/10

[Rixizu]

This may be one of the worst games ever made. This makes ET for the Atari look like Super Mario Bros. 3!

[PaperMario15]

I love coming home from school and seeing these in my subscription box.

[MaxNardi]

wait wtf keith emerson??

[bbqplatypus318]

@MaxNardi 5:59 Someone get me a ladder...so I can hang myself from the nearest ceiling fan for having been involved with this game.

[Meggadezz]

"They're speaking in Windings, Sir!" made me laugh.

[posthumanfetus]

What would be the sequel to Star Strike? Star Home Run? Home... Star... Runner GOD DAMN IT.

[DatWittyName]

@posthumanfetus

Star Strike: Retribution

[somahiru]

The real star of this game is that joystick, waggling without caring about how dangerous the situation was.

[bloodriotiori]

@somahiru waggaaalinnn waaggaaaalinnnnn

[EGRJ]

I like how the entire ship has less than a half-dozen fighters an no point defense whatsoever.

[WilliamLongfellow]

Dead to Rights.

[furai93]

"Main Theme by Keith Emerson"It's an homonym right? it must be

[AylorSot]

YES!!!!!-waggle-

[TheHeroHartmut]

Dammit, Terra. You're supposed to be the obligatory love interest. Why did you have to go and ruin the whole game?

[Battfro]

I really can't figure out how the game designers thought the joystick waggle scene was a good way to hide loading. I mean its abrupt, doesn't show good piloting skills and just looks so impotent at times. I know we're looking at an old game so loading was a problem, but there had to be a better way to optimize the game. Perhaps making it so the player didn't sit through the same scene of a starship exploding every time they killed an enemy would cut down on loading.

[47smithstreetseries]

@Battfro I thought it was hilarious since action SFX would suddenly stop and the music would pause. It was beautifully awkward.

[ValisHD]

what? no kiss from the bonecheeks botox asian lady? Boooo i want my money back >_>

[EponymousKid]

They prevented a massacre, by employing genocide. Truly they are Earth's greatest heroes.

[Sephariel]

Dead to Rights.

[TheBrianJ]

I lost my heart to a Star Strike Trooper

[SamuraiFoochs]

She not only delivers the news in the same way, she ALWAYS has the same movements and facial expressions.

*joystick waggle*

It's disturbing.

*joystick waggle*

Oh my god the timing on that "YESSS!!!" was perfect.

[KeskasidvarGaming]

Turns out this game sold 800,000 copies...HOW?!

[DatWittyName]

@KeskasidvarGaming

People loved that joystick waggle scene.

[TheSheeplealarmclock]

@KeskasidvarGaming That's a lot of suicides :(

[rizuhbull]

BOOYAH!

[EmTheGiant]

I notice the credits thanked pyrotechnic group...though I don't ever remember seeing any fire.

[EponymousKid]

@EmTheGiant Pyrotechnics also refers to explosions; there's a few tumes where they actually blow up the models instead of superimposing an MS Paint blob over them

[EmTheGiant]

@EponymousKid Good point. Didn't think of that. It's just so hard to tell that there was anything remotely unrelated to MS Paint in this game.

[PanickyNine]

So, they're talking in backwards pseudo-Greek?

[TheorySH]

I'm waiting for a sequel in which the main character's joystick breaks, and he's forced to go on with only a steering wheel and an unshakable desire to destroy brain-eaters.

[EponymousKid]

@TheorySH Imagine the DRAMA of a vulnerable unnamed starship pilot still persisting in his mission despite his outdated equipment.

[justinbrosam]

@TheorySH You mean "pinheads".

[Superdwiggen]

@TheorySH Don't you mean pinheads?

[horngatekeeper]

so HE'S the Last Starfighter?

[freedomfriestastebad]

I FARTED DURING THIS VIDEO

[azzadoc]

/watch?v=VDisHWIyebo

[AgentMidnight]

I'm pretty sure Santa Claus could have played a more serious role than the Bald Commander guy

[ReisenMell]

I was hoping for the joystick waggle to appear in one of the thumbnails.

Oh well.

[MichaelSaniyan]

Oh, he got the bad ending. To get the good ending, you need to shoot every one of those asteroids when you're warping.

[Overmayor]

It said "Game Over" because the only winning move in Star Strike is not to play it.

[Chavtheworld]

@Overmayor How about a nice game of chess?

[retroengineer90]

cool vid.

[BeastifiedCodFather]

I thought this was a movie. What console was this on?

[Ridleykiller146]

@BeastifiedCodFather Sega CD

[IKovuI]

@DaedricEmperor ok
