Rogue Leader: Battle of Endor - Gold Medal (X-Wing)

[hppybob]

So why do you keep popping in and out of cockpit, and why did you leave the zoom-out on? I hated that when I played this game.

[naguleader]

@hppybob Back then I wasn't aware that you could turn that off. I popped in and out of the cockpit to cancel it out and also at some points it helped me to aim better whilst in cockpit mode

[KimDoeYoung]

I dont really like the Ai your allies are. if u play the game and follow your so called teams like those a wing group, b wing group and so on.... u will see they are just cruising and not killing anything. You will see them attack but mostly attcking nothing in range.... so u have to deal with ties all by yourself..

[GabSte1989]

Don't none of these motherfuckers check their fire or wait for a firing solution?

[Lndmk227]

The sad part is, the Rebel fleet was actually a LOT bigger than how it was depicted here. There were a dozen cruisers, several frigates, hundreds of fighters, etc.

In this iteration, there are TWO cruisers, a hornet's nest of corvettes and transports, and ONE frigate. Lucasarts should have had a bigger hand.

[Nofarewell]

I have a feeling that it's the most realistic action simulator to the movie - in many respects. Played Battlefront - doesn't seem the same. PEOPLE: CAN I CONVERT THIS GAME INTO MY PC SOMEHOW???? Please answer, I'd die to play this game!

[warwatcher91]

@Nofarewell You could try and emulator, I think there are downloads somewhere on the internet. That or buy a used gamecube.

[SUPREMEMASTER1]

I also meant to ask: were you playing this on the Nintendo Wii or the GameCube???

[naguleader]

@SUPREMEMASTER1 I played this on a Wii but there was no lag. Are you playing on an HDTV? The conversion time from 480p to 1080p messes up the timing

[SUPREMEMASTER1]

@naguleader Actually, yeah: I was playing it on an HDTV -- I thought it might had something to do with the new TV but I wasn't sure...

I assumed that I just had the HDTV adjusted to the wrong settings -- So I didn't exactly know that it was simply the HDTV /itself/ and that it would do that no matter /what/ the settings were set to..

The lag time is like 0.2 or 0.3 seconds or something (less than 1 second though)

Thanks for telling me about that still--

The 500 character limit drives me nuts

[SUPREMEMASTER1]

I wish my Rogue Leader 2 disk didn't have cracks and scratches on it.....

Every once in a while it gives error messages when going to the next level or whatever forcing me to either 1. open and close the lid or 2. shut off and turn on the gamecube all over again...

On a different subject, I sort of noticed while playing a gamecube game on the Wii that the controls actually lag slightly and it screws up "precision" based gameplay

I assume the same would happen to Rogue Leader 2 if I tried it..

[SarbazRMB]

This game really has such a wow factor that games seem to be lacking these days!

Don't get me wrong..I love playing next gen consoles and modern day PC games (that I can run on my PC)...but damn..Rogue Squadron 1 and 2 is the shit! I wish I had a gamecube again :(

[Chef033]

this game still looks gorgeous. also holy shit you're a lot better at this game than i was

[TheHowlingMan]

it a trap!!!

[naguleader]

@TheHowlingMan blocked for not reading the description

[porterwake]

I actually really liked this game. I still love X-Wing Alliance though.

[michaelsloanedog]

Still looks sexy to this day



[respectthekick07]

Personally, I think as long as you don't die early and shoot everything as best as you can, this Gold Medal is actually easier to get than you know. I'm trying to Gold medal this stage with a Y-Wing, but I know it's possible :)

[OneThirtyThree133]

I love this game, only wish it was a little more challenging. However massive replay value though!

[AgentSmithClan]

I agree with the comments here, there were brilliant flight/space simulators with X-Wing, Tie Fighter, and Rogue Squadron... the latest Star Wars game I have with space combat is BF2 and although I love the game the space combat sucks especially in comparison with the classics.

Sad that with the advancement of technology and so much more space available these games seem to be getting simpler with less to do.

[naguleader]

@AgentSmithClan Yeah, Star Wars in general is now about lightsabers and Jedis instead of spaceships and dogfights. Hell, the last two movies had probably the worst excuses for space battles ever: a dogfight in an asteroid field where only one guy is shooting, and a couple of interceptors flying around in a big enormous battle but not actually shooting anything; instead they just have that stupid boring scene where they get the buzz droids off the ships. How exciting.

[Ariranhaa]

@naguleader Agreed. At least, there are the Clone Wars animations that are, compared to the movies, much more exciting in terms of space combat and action in general.

[naguleader]

@Ariranhaa Definitely. The 3D one is starting to annoy me with all the Gungans though XD

[Cornholio77PL]

IT'S AN AMBUSH!

[chumphonFC]

trap

[blowmeuptomleykis]

Tarp.

[jakethemistake19]

I SOLD THESE GAMES!! FFUUUU I played the crap out of them and sold them with my gamecube for like $100 couple years back. Gonna buy this again since we have a Wii which I barely use anymore. THis is the one Star Wars game I love besides battlefront

[Cheezburger2012]

Can you believe this game came out 10 years ago? It looks great. There hasn't been a good dogfighting game in a loooong time.

[ModelOmega]

Most definately not a trap

Not if 1 X-Wing can single handedly defeat entire enemy TIE fighter squadrons.

And 2 Star Destroyers

[naguleader]

@ModelOmega I know right!

[Aepoch]

It's a trap!

[naguleader]

@Aepoch why are you guys so dang funny!!!

[blind51de]

It's a trap

[dajman15]

It's a trap!

OH NOES!!! NOW I'LL BE BLOCKED BY SOMEONE I DON'T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT!

[naguleader]

@dajman15 you are one funny dude!

[upsguydownthestreet]

Its an sudden attack on our forces!

[TH89]

That camera looks super annoying. Still wish I had a gamecube just for this though.

[Cylanthegreat]

Wedge Antilles - One of the few men that could beat a Jedi in a starfight WITHOUT the force. And my favorite character in the entirety of the Star Wars saga.

[outsideredge]

The fact that this game still looks good is a testament to how much thought and effort Factor 5 put into it.

[naguleader]

@outsideredge Too bad they mistreated their employees and got sued and went bankrupt. Now we'll never get another RS!

[Tankbuster1138]

man i so want this game cuz im a huge star wars freak and have always wanted to take down a star destroyer in a snub fighter so ive been begging my mom to get me a game cube so i can play (stuipd finances)!!

[durbaq]

Fuck being a Jedi. This is where it's at.

[naguleader]

@durbaq Word.

[Sigma0283]

I find it hard to chase after the fighters and bombers because they blend in with space.

[Sigma0283]

It's Not A Trap?!

[Spaninator]

I hate it that have you have a disadvantage when you watch the cutscenes. The time is counted and the empire makes points while you´re whatching.

[luishomeroremohsiul]

"IT'S A TRAP"

[naguleader]

@luishomeroremohsiul almost as funny as the 5 or so other people who posted that in this video

[iammach6]

This mission was by far the hardest, it took me literally 100 tries to beat this one.

[Lerenardlyonnais]

Watch this battle is great but live this battle is awesome.

I love this game

[LtCnlObvious]

Well since you didn't ban any other Akbar quotes,... "Our Shields can't repel firepower of that magnitude." "Our Cruiser won't last long against their destroyers." "All ships prepare to retreat on my command." and I think that's it.

[naguleader]

@LtCnlObvious Concentrate all fire on that Super Star Destroyer!

[LtCnlObvious]

@naguleader lol I missed one? good sense of humor mate.

[zangdar07]

le meilleur jeu de star wars de tout les temps ...

[naguleader]

@zangdar07 Les remerciements, je suis d'accord

[TheCushion]

Seeing as I won't ever talk to you, IT'S A TRAP!!!!

[naguleader]

@TheCushion too fucking funny man

[Faardrill]

What the Hell are transport fregates doing in space battles?

[Nabiki73]

I never played Rogue Squadron 3- was it really that much better than Rogue Leader?

[naguleader]

@Nabiki73 nah, this one was light years better than the third one

[Nabiki73]

@naguleader Thanks for the reply. RL is easily one of the best games ever to bear the Star Wars name.

[hylkon1]

IT'S A TRAP! D:

[naguleader]

@hylkon1 read the description bro

[rasgotiriebud]

They need a follow up on the Wii..

[naguleader]

they were going to, but then Factor 5 was sued and went bankrupt :(

people are hoping that someone else will pick it up, but so far there hasn't been any news about it.

[325982668]

it's really sad, Factor 5 put so much into these games, and really brought the space combat of star wars to life, and they're gone now. i really wish that somebody would continue this game format, it is really great.

on a side note, i am so nostalgic watching this, remembering my dad constantly swearing at the game telling that "bitch" from the medical frigate to "shut the fuck up."

[naguleader]

dude she WAS a bitch, haha

[delta5297]

@325982668 According to the Star Wars wiki, the frigate eventually gets blown to bits by the Death Star o_O

[ussmissouri63]

LOL did anyone notive how the TIE intercpetor at 0:21 crashed into another TIE fighter? epic fail lol thats pretty funny

[georgebaggy]

this game kicked ass. gameplay was so good and the graphics were amazing for being a gamecube game

[andthatsforthewin]

5:43 - Do a barrel roll!

[smarterthenyou001]

i mean seriously if they could make a game like this on gamecube then surely they could get off their arses an put together something truley difinitive

fuck all the first person shooters there just waising money by making so many .

[smarterthenyou001]

i really dont understand why there isnt a title like this on the next gen consoles .... i mean there literally is no space battles , no free roaming exploration games

id say mass effect 2 was awesome but it only offered so much , and you didnt even get to pilot the ship !

i want a free roaming space combat / action / adventure game

wish sony would stop pissing me about and give me something i WANT .

useless wankers

[SuperJamesus]

@smarterthenyou001 i wish they would just remaster these titles for the ps3, the graphics are great already.

[ussmissouri63]

i love this level. its easy if you know what youre doing, and it was actually the first level i got a gold medal on lol. my favorite level in the game hands down.

[iammach6]

I watched your run and I'm like: "NO WONDER THIS MISSION IS SO CRAZY"

[Ifeno]

where exactly is the upgrade in this level? i cant seem to find it no matter how much time i spend looking >.<

[naguleader]

when you're flying towards the Star Destroyer on the left, look down at the planet. if you look hard enough you'll see a tiny tiny shimmering. that's the upgrade

[Ifeno]

The force is strong with this one

[Steamrunner92]

Based on your disdain for having "It's a trap!" as a comment on this video, and the temptation many are doubtlessly experiencing, one could say that in this instance, the line "It's a trap!" is, ITSELF, a trap....

[TTOTheTrueOne]

Do you have some of the hidden upgrades for you ships ? The shield generators use to last when I am trying them... Anyway, very impressive aiming during the combat, wow !

[MarineroPL]

"Don't worry my friend's down there. He'll get that shield down on time."

[21stCenturyJRoyo22]

One cool thing about this level is when you hit the command deck of each star destroyer, an imperial shuttle comes out of the bottom that you can destroy. just a little something I thought people who have this game might find interesting. :)

[21stCenturyJRoyo22]

You do know that there is a setting to turn off the camera zoom that happens when there is a Tie Fighter pursuing you, don't you?

[Gojna]

I'm curious: my brother and I used to play this level on Rogue Squadron III all the time and this weird bug kept happening. Essentially, Lando would say "WE GOTTA BUY MORE TIME!" three to ten times in a row, multiple times during a level. It was one of the funniest things I've ever heard, but I've never seen anyone mention it.

Anyone else have that happen?

[naguleader]

Me and my brother had that too. I don't think it's a bug, just bad programming.

[Ehal256]

@naguleader I have the same problem. A bug is caused by some human error somewhere, although not neccessarily "bad" programming.

[cpthurme]

That was an extremely impressive display : ) especially that spin to dodge the laser fire from the underside of the Star Destroyer!

[UrbanTiger74]

DAMN! Best game rendition of the Battle over Endor. I miss this game. I should've kept it.

[poododger]

Even though this is Gamecube, the graphics still look good

[ilostatsolitare]

This level always makes me think "ahh... just like the movie" until the chick yells at you for being under attack.

[LuckySharm]

Wow, you're so lucky in this mission. Why aren't those Star Destroyer turrets pouring lasers on you like crazy?

[naguleader]

They don't seem to shoot too much when you first get there. Later on they do, but if you sporadically accelerate and decelerate, it's harder for them to hit you. If you watch the video closely, you'll notice that I was making use of blind spots on the Star Destroyer (spots where I could fire on the generators where parts of the ship block most of the turrets.)

[nakedgunmusic]

this game still looks amazing

[enjoypolydor]

Pretty smooth flying Fox.

[sgtbarone]

its a trap!!!

[Ehal256]

real x-wing pilots fly in cockpit mode (although I haven't gotten a gold medal on this mission)

[naguleader]

real x-wing pilots crash a lot then :P

[Ehal256]

@naguleader not many real x-wing pilots :P

[darkdill]

Anyone here think this mission would be a total bitch if the Imperials had used the TIE Avenger?

[ChrisRedfield1991]

@darkdill That, TIE Defenders, Assault Gunboats, and Missile Boats

[shavecorn90210]

wtf wen i try this level the star destroyers' turrets make like hundreds of beams come at me but in this vid barely any turret fire came at you

[naguleader]

you have to get behind the star destroyer to shoot the shield generators at the top. Find the "blind spot" of the SD where not a lot of turrets can get you. It helps to shoot the turrets right next to the shield generators too

As for the bottom one, I made sure that I took it out really quick with torpedoes while also rolling to avoid the fire

[sgtbarone]

its a trap!

[rhp92k]

Hey in your info you talk about how the camera zooming all over the place annoys you and I had the same problem so (you might already know this) but if you go in the options and turn "enemy camera" off, it doesn't do that stupid zoom thing whenever an enemy is behind you. You really dont need it anyway, its kinda obvious a tie is behind you when you see green streaks fly past you

[naguleader]

I didn't know that, thanks

[rhp92k]

@naguleader no problem, you'd be surprised at how much it helps your accuracy

[MrBadGuy99]

Nice Video!

Lando's voice actor is laughable :D

[roga085]

It's a trap!

[naguleader]

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

I have never heard that joke before, good one

[olty49]

where are the others wings? because i only see lando and wedge in the battle.

[naguleader]

they're there, just hard to see, especially in this video since I concentrate on the baddies

[fixlix888]

Why do you tell your wingmen to flee?

[naguleader]

If you don't, there's a chance that they could be destroyed and detract from your score

[fixlix888]

Do they actualy help you? I mean, do they shot well or cover you well?

[naguleader]

Asking them to form up or attack the guns doesn't really make a difference at all, but they're fairly good at taking out fighters

[HebiTelos]

The english's voices in this wonderful game are better than the french's voices... you're lucky !

You're an awesome player ! You're better than me ^^

and sorry for my english, I'm french...

[starwarsfantom]

Awesome game!!! But I haven't got gamecube :(

[Ally1391]

@starwarsfantom u don't need a gamecube the Nintendo wii is backwards compatable with gamecube built in

[totoro3]

the crashing ties at the beggining are funny

[pacman5698]

IT'S A TRAP!

[fededx]

Congratulations on two things: 1) you're awesome at this game! and 2) you've got really good taste for video games, this is one of the best games for an incredible console ;)

[naguleader]

Thanks man, I appreciate it

[DatzAmoray]

I was never able to pass this level , because of those two star destroyers!

And I still can't now!

[superlink365]

If you cant pass this level dont try the last one im stuck at that one its like 5X harder ):

[PivotTrooper]

Don't worry my friend's down there,he'll have that shield down on time.

[666LordAlucard]

You're awesome. Very well played.

[Homestonearts]

Boah you pretty good in this game.

That was our first and best gamecube game.

I aslways suck in this mission , but now i saw how i must make it. thanks you i will try it again. ^^

5/5

[naguleader]

Thanks :)

[shatterbelt]

Why this vid's so long??

[naguleader]

Um I guess because it is long but if you dont like it you dont have to watch it but again ok
