      Just wanted to let everyone know that world of tanks is an awesome game. And just because it’s free to play, and is being advertised in a sponsored segment of a TH-cam video, it’s not at all like raid shadow legends. Not only is WoT an actual game, it’s really good.

      I made a bunch of videos on some the titles that were not officially released for ngage but for symbianos. Some of them are really impressive. Some neat 3d games and some cool homebrew level games. As well as the games created specific for the ngage.
      Feel free to use any of it. My video quality sucks though.

    Shadowkey's combat is based on Morrowind's combat. It runs on a dice-roll system, so not all of your attacks are going to land. The likelihood of landing hits is based on stamina, your character's levels, and whether the weapon you use is appropriate for your build. And at low levels it's just a bit of a swing-fest.

      @@Draggobuttboi Same here, as someone who started with Oblivion going backwards to Morrorwind felt off because I didn't really like the feel of the combat, and unless you choose a very specific set of stuff at the start your character's starting speed is so damn slow. It's one of those games I really want to like because I've heard non-stop for years people singing its praises, but man I guess I made the mistake of not playing it when it was new, because without any nostalgia for it I just find it so clunky (meanwhile I do have nostalgia for old Tomb Raider so despite the controls having not aged very well I can still play them thanks to my old muscle memory returning when I play 'em).

Tank controls should not be allowed in a game that requires so much precision platforming, or at the very least they should allow an option to map camera rotation to the shoulder buttons like a lot of PS1 games did (Megaman Legends and Toy Story 2, specifically)

      It's not for "some reason", it's to emulate pen & paper RPG's & CRPG's. Your attack success is based on a dice roll influenced by your & the enemy's stats. It's also not THAT uncommon in the genre, especially at that time.

  • @captainxcookies9344
    @captainxcookies9344 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I realize this video is almost a year old, but the reason you only sometimes hit enemies in Shadowkey is because every time you hit something, a dice roll happens. So even when you hit, a behind-the-scenes dice roll happens to determine if you actually hit the enemy or not. It worked the same way in TES1 and TES2, which was inspired by classic table top RPGs like Dungeons and Dragons. When you swing and don't hit, even though you are in range, it is suppose to represent the enemy dodging the attack or you fumbling or something. The more you level up your STR and AGL, the more likely you are to hit.

The other wonderful thing about the N-Gage that is rarely mentioned is that it is fully compatible with thousands of J2ME/Symbian games which are much nicer to play with the D-pad and buttons than they are on other phones of its time.

    I loved my N-Gage! I thought it was cumbersome having to remove the battery before I can change games, side talking was quite a “what were they thinking?” thing, but I still had a blast with mine!
    However, not counting downloaded Java games, or the bundled Flow Boarding game, I only owned 7 games:
    Sonic N (got with the system)
    Super Monkey Ball (got for birthday)
    Pandemonium! (bought with Christmas money)
    The Sims: Bustin’ Out
    Pocket Kingdom: Own The World (got for Christmas the following year)
    Worms World Party
    Puyo Pop (bought during a trip to Florida 2 months before I started college)
    As happy as I was with my N-Gage, especially since I never owned a cellphone prior to it, and even though it was still functioning just fine by the time I was about to start college, my mom felt I needed to have a “proper” cellphone, so she gave me her old Motorola V500 as a hand-me-down. I downloaded many games to that V500, including an Atari compilation, a skipping stone game, Gulo’s Tale and Panic Bomber!

    the elder scrolls game had a similar combat system as morrowind, where your hits weren't determined by player skill, butby virtual dice rolls. so to really hit with most swings, your skill for the type of weapon you're using has to be around the 70 mark and your stamina has to remain high.

There were a lot of interesting titles for the console, and most people don't really know anything about the handheld other than it was a notorious failure. There were decent games made for it, though. I have something like 42 of them. Remember the NES game Faxanadu? There was a sequel that the only console release appeared on the N-Gage. A port of Super Monkey Ball also got released. They did put in some effort into developing games, but it took too long for the good titles to hit the market.
