Ya so did another video look-back, or "retrospective" whatever the fuck you wanna call it :|
Couple things that I said that are wrong/I want to clarify :|
When I say "hard" i mean "you will die a lot." I have no doubt that everyone but the most shittiest of gamers will have any trouble with finishing the game, or get frustrated or anything, but you will die many many times and you'll learn to use the quick save and quick load a lot ^^ The on-foot missions seem to be harder then the mech missions, but only because armor and health (bar the critical hits) seem a lot more rare.
I also said that old-school fps weren't bloody. I don't know why I said that, they're bloody as shit and it's just wrong. Maybe I mean't newer fps? I don't know :| But ya that's wrong.
Also I said "circle strafing" a lot in the video, it's really just strafing and only vaguely reminiscent of a circle ;p Well without further ado.
Haven't received anything new since the last blog (being the weekend and all) So here's episode 4 of tripping the rift!!
@ Bus ya it's one of my favs too ;p Hmm I didn't really pay a lot of attention to the chars though... they didn't seem that amazing though the light bit of humor in the game was pretty cool ;p
Shogo was awesome. It had the anime angle down a treat. I still own the game, and I also remember that if you looked outside your quarters after the first mission, you will see your fellow team-mates have names that refer to anime/manga characters.
The only thing it could have done better was flesh out the ending better.
Shogo is epic win. I never beat the game, but I remember it had a pretty engaging story for an FPS at the time.
It's funny, I was thinking about Shogo while watching your Septerra Core video(because of the dual pack). Props to you for making the logical progression.
@ Palidi haha thanks ;p I actually did septerra core first to lead up to the awesomeness that is shogo ;p you should def finish it off. Fun game to replay, going through it again on madness now.
