@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy yep, I've got and listened to all the tapes, I started s ranking missions but don't think I can be bothered to carry on. The game is addictive but fighting tanks and helicopters became very boring in the last 30 or so hours
@nessisonett I completed THPS2 to 100% with every character back in the day. Getting all the cash off the top wires in the bull ring was always the biggest pain.
@Thrillho Yeah, I don’t think I could put myself through that! I loved that 4 had a different final mission for every skater, it meant that you actually had to use them all and gave them a bit of personality. It’s incredible how solid the series actually was until about Underground 2.
@nessisonett I thought underground 2 remix is a lot better than underground 2 because of the addition of a classic mode but I still prefer the purity of the first 4 games
@ralphdibny THUGPro on PC is excellent, it’s a mod for THUG2 that adds basically every level from the series along with online multiplayer. It even has levels from the Toy Story skating game!
@nessisonett I found out about that last night when I was reading up on the games in general. I'd like to try it but I understand that it is multiplayer only? Does it not recreate the different goals of each level as well for single player?
@ralphdibny Nah, there aren’t any goals but there’s free skate and multiplayer. It’s more impressive because they’ve recreated every Neversoft level but I do admit that having goals would definitely make it better.
@nessisonett it's definitely worth me checking out at some point I think
@RogerRoger oh yeah I sort of half knew about that, Nolan North played rocket raccoon in a guardians of the galaxy cartoon with a cockney accent too, or maybe it was like an avengers cartoon with a guest appearance possibly before Bradley cooper owned the role in the films. Though I'm pretty sure when he reprised rocket in other media like possibly the gotg telltale game, he made rocket sound alot more like Bradley Cooper's interpretation
Sorry a lot of ifs, maybes and possiblys in that statement, I wrote from memory so I can't confirm anything I have said!
@RogerRoger yep just checked and cockney rocket was actually voiced by somebody else, Nolan North doesn't appear to have voiced him until the telltale game, please disregard my previous post
After writing about it in the forum quiz... I ended up turning on my trusty PS2, sucesssfully finding and playing some Pandemonium!
The PS1 disc works flawlessly despite it being fairly scratched (It is over 24 years old... Goodness I feel old 😧) The opening CG cutscene starts on a shatner toupe joke too... You can certainly tell it's the 90's!
As you might expect it isn't very long (Maybe 2 minutes and I think there's only one other CG at the very end) but sets up the premise fairly nicely of a spell gone wrong and heading on an adventure to save the town.
It's a 2.5D platformer if you weren't aware of what it actually was and it's main gimmick is that you can switch characters in the overworld to decide whom you want to go through the level as.
Fargus the Jester having a cartwheel attack whilst Nikki the acrobat can double jump (... Who care about the laws of physics? )
You can get powerups throughout the levels as well like fireballs, freeze rays (I think there's even a shrink ray powerup later on) that you can use indefinitely (Til you get damaged in some way or die).
Without a powerup poor Nikki can only stomp on an enemy head to defeat them... So there is a somewhat decent choice aspect between the two characters (Though they could be differentiated a bit more)
...I've found it quite difficult though 😅
You only get one free hit on Nikki or Fargus before they pop thier clogs (Unless you find a heart in the level) to start off with.
I did fairly well to start with but level three ended up kicking my ass back to the title screen thanks to a crystal spewing fireballs and a bunch of spikes.
It has a password system only with no memory card functionality. Bit annoying. But there are cheat passwords though.
Maybe I'll bump myself up with some extra hearts if I can't get past level 3 legit...
@RogerRoger yeah he is really good, I'd love to get into voice acting somehow, it seems like a really fun gig and I'm always doing different voices to entertain people though my girlfriend has gotten a bit wound up at me saying "pupa scooper" in a Geordie accent every time we fight the the pupa AI in mgs peace walker lol
Started playing The Swapper on my Vita today. I was recommended to use headphones while playing so I am doing that, pretty good fun so far.
It's all about the puzzles but there's a curious narrative going on in the background which is always fun to see. I always enjoy it when games put the extra effort in for some cool world building.
@KratosMD If you think the knock back is annoying, you clearly haven’t played Classicvania! At least in this game there aren’t instant death pits at every opportunity and only a few lives. I dunno about it being sluggish though, Alucard’s animations are really smooth for pixel art and your traversal’s obviously going to be limited until you get more upgrades. I think SotN and SCIV are the smoothest the series has ever played to be honest.
@KratosMD Ooh, I’ve been really interested in Layers of Fear so good to hear you’re enjoying it! Playing in the dark with headphones is the sort of thing I wish I could do but I’m a wuss 😂😂
@KratosMD Yeah but the RPG element can make it a bit easy. If there is a particular boss that you can't get past, all you have to do is go grind out some levels even to the point where you are much stronger then the boss.
@Genrou It’s not too bad in SotN compared to Circle of the Moon. Loved that game but oh lord, you need to grind. It’s 100% required to get to a certain level otherwise you’ll just get destroyed time and time again. RPG elements can both make or break a game, especially with games like Metroidvanias.
