Sorry you didn't find it sooner! There's new stuff coming out three days a week. Thanks for watching!

I may have had a subscription to Nintendo Power at that time, but I'm not 100% certain. I wasn't the most consistent about re-upping when the 12 months ran out. But I'm fairly certain they would've had the boss order in it if they covered Mega Man 4. Thanks for watching!

That's it, that's why it sounded so familiar. It was driving me nuts. Thanks!

It's not even his second or third best weapon, it's slightly above middle. Odd choice to put in the pyramid. I always go Safe Helm.

Solid advice. I do this to myself though because I use the Polymega's universal controller, which is just a copy of the PS1/2/3 controller, and the N64 button layout on those controllers is not intuitive. For example, the C buttons are assigned to the right thumbstick! XD Thanks for watching!

As someone that has put thousands(!) of hours into The Binding of Isaac, and has become accustomed to only being able to shoot in the cardinal directions (up/down/left/right) and using the face buttons to aim your shots, I didn't find the altered control scheme all that bad. In fact, I was pleasantly surprised that they give you the ability shoot at an angle if you hold two face buttons down. It made crowd control much easier. Thanks for watching!

@ yah no worries. Probably it’s a matter of perspective: I’m 42, grew up in our local arcade (The Library 😂), have owned almost every console as the came out since the NES, & arcade cabinet sticks just hit so different for me. Smash TV was just one of those relatively obscure, weird & unique arcade games that the memory sticks with me.

i loved this game

I liked it for what it was. Was it perfect? No, but with a friend it's a much more enjoyable experience. I think the easy changes would be to add more enemy types to shoot per level and maybe tweak the weapon pickups to either last longer or just not expire until you die. Thanks for watching!

:D He does kind of look like Gambit. Neither of us knew before recording, but he is unofficially the "main character" of the game, as the former instructor of the dojo. I don't remember how his story ends, but it doesn't really matter since the story is kind of dumb to begin with. Thanks for watching!

Appreciate it! New episodes come out Mondays and Wednesdays until the conclusion. Thanks for watching!

Judge: "The accused has been found guilty. I sentence him to three days of solitary confinement enforced by our two dumbest guards. Like, tragically dumb!" Guard: "Thanks, dad!" Judge: "You're supposed to be on guard duty right now!"

:D Yeah, that sounds like a nightmare. I think I mentioned it in this episode (or another one) that leaping assassinations can be performed in this game, but you have to lock onto the target, then wait for a button prompt to appear to execute it. If I had remembered how to do it, and was patient, Montferrat eventually finishes lecturing his soldiers and walks to the back of the pen behind the table; that's when you can get him. Thanks for watching!

Honestly, single-player games like this that started on arcade cabinets are never re-balanced to work on console. They always have an unusually high difficulty curve because the game was designed to give arcade players a taste of success, then make the game too hard to complete without pumping more quarters into the machine. On console, they attempt to mitigate that with difficulty settings and continues, but it's never enough to make the experience feel fair. Thanks for watching!

A combination of a recent bout of COVID and years of screaming as a teen. Also, the later in the day I record, the more tired and cracked my voice tends to be.

@@NubsCollection im very conscious of voices, thanks for not getting upset. i'm considering elocution myself.

The design of the game works great in arcades; I think if they just did away with the extra lives/continues and made the special weapons a more expensive but PERMANENT upgrade with the same limited use counts, this would've been a fantastic console release. Thanks for watching!

I found two "fixes" that other Polymega users suggested to correct the issue, and so far it hasn't crashed: apparently the background music of the Polymega's dashboard and the Wi-Fi are the cause, so I turned them both off. Didn't fix the graphical glitch that occurs when I play SNES games, but at least I'm not crashing every 30 minutes.

Unfortunately the channel doesn't quite have the following TH-cam requires to monetize my content, but word-of-mouth can always help with that, so like/share/subscribe if you can! Thanks for watching!

The instruction manual refers to them as fuel pods, but you don't have a fuel gauge. I think this may have been a game mechanic that they started work on but abandoned, and just left the pickups in for no reason.

@@NubsCollection if you collect 50 fuel pods in a single race will give you a can of worms (aka a continue)

Okay, that makes sense. I wish they had explained it in the instruction manual; it just says they're for "fun and profit". Thanks!

@@NubsCollection It is cryptically hinted at in the "hints and tips" section of the manual: "Finding the can of worms is one way to get a continue, the other... well that's fuel for thought" But yeah, it only really makes sense after you already know

It's possible the Genesis version plays smoother and some of my gripes are console-specific, but it felt like they made poor choices concerning dropping through platforms, whip direction and speed, and inability to move and shoot at the same time. Can't knock the style, but the substance left me wanting. Thanks for watching!

I get into the mission repetition towards the end of the series, but it was quite disappointing that every major target investigation consisted of the same three or four mission types. That, and the flags and Templar knights, show that Ubisoft hadn't finished the game and didn't have enough time to implement more missions and meaningful rewards for all the collectibles. A Director's Cut would've been nice on console, but making the collectibles worth hunting down would been a more important change. Thanks for watching!

Glad to hear it, although I'll admit I'm not a great example of someone who reads the controls prior to playing. I had no idea you could do assassinations from above a target and blew a couple of easier missions as a result! Remember to lock on if you're above the target and wait for the "Assassinate" prompt. Thanks for watching!

I totally forgot that line; thanks for reminding me! That said, I looked into this a little further. Star Trek first used cloaking technology in the original series episode "Balance of Terror", which aired in 1966. So I would still say it's a Star Trek thing, not a Star Wars thing. Thanks for watching!

So you're saying you're the reason the side mirrors on my car have peck marks and white poo all over them?

Thanks! I've actually been surprised (in a good way) by the viewership for this longplay. I definitely plan on revisiting the sequel in a future longplay, so keep an eye out for it! Thanks for watching!

I think I first learned of Red Bull from their Flugtag event, even though I still no idea what Red Bull actually was.

I'm convinced nobody actually play-tested this game. There's no way the dev thought this was an acceptable level of challenge for the first level of the game. I barely made it off the first screen and had to cheat to do it. Awful, awful game.

Whether they knew it or not, Ubisoft really positioned themselves to succeed well with this game, as it launched shortly after the PAL region release of Playstation 3, so all three of the major regions could get it at the same time on either 360 or PS3. And yes, for the time it was a stunning game visually. If I'm remembering correctly, the second game erred by using way too much soft focus. This game was very sharp, with high contrast throughout, even if the coloring was drab. Thanks for watching!

How does it restore your life, then? Are you implying that sprites are vampires?

I mean, have you ever seen a sprite and a vampire at the same time together?​@@NubsCollection

Seriously. I thought about muting his mic halfway through but was too lazy to reach over to the soundcard 18 inches away.

Assassin's Creed wasn't the first game I got on my PS3, but it was most likely the second or third game I bought. First was Resistance: Fall of Man. It was the one I just had to see as the first media I experienced on an HDTV, and it was a game changer. Unfortunately, the PS3 didn't have trophies when AC came out, so all those hidden flags and Templar Knights amounted to a great big NOTHING if you found them all. Makes you wonder why they even bothered leaving them in :P. Thanks for watching!

The first game needed these little vignettes to establish the evil nature of the Templars because players didn't know anything about the group yet. Later games, even the immediate sequel Assassin's Creed II, were afforded a little more subtlety in the presentation. Not every target in ACII was a raving sociopath; some of them just bankrolled the bad guys or were related to them. I liked the vignettes, but they do look a bit cartoonish in comparison to later games.

@@NubsCollection Don't get me wrong...the leg breaking scene was legit.

It is. Of all the scenes in the game, that is the one that sticks out in my mind the most.

EAST BRUTTON!

:P

You're the reason we can't have nice things.

They finished shooting all of them and George's only note was "Faster, more intense."
