@NintendoByNature not for August as some have voted already (currently the game on top of the list is Ori and the will of the wisps with 4 votes). We will start to cast the votes to me from next month onward.
@ralphdibny take care of yourself mate, you have always done a cracking job with this club! You have always been so inclusive and democratic, I hope you are getting on good both on here and in IRL.
@ralphdibny the limit was 10, but it probably would have picked those 10 people slightly randomly from all the names tagged — which would explain the inconsistency.
Anyway, I've increased the limit to 100 for your account only, so hopefully you can just continue as is for now
As @ralphdibny politely asked to step away from managing the club and I will take that duty over is there any chance that I can have my limit for tags extended? I know it was an one off thing but it would really help not have to split the main posts 6 times every month.
I have been on the sites (mostly NL and PX) for about 7 years and I don't think I ever stepped over the line in any occasion.
So I finished PD yesterday, had to use a guide for the last level because it would have frustrated me too much wasting the items on the wrong pillars. Also the boss. I just didn't really know what was going on to be honest lol. So a bit anti climactic.
That said, I did overall enjoy the game. It's dated and a bit obtuse but not so bad that its unplayable. I think as well, once you get the hang of how the different in-game elements present themselves, it's much easier to spot what you need to do in similar moments later on.
As always, I am very very fond of upscaled N64 graphics. Seeing those textures presented cleanly in HD and without the horrid draw distance fog that the original hardware was known for.
I was quite fond of the music and the sound effects. I think the only "sequence" I found annoying was between levels when the next level objectives were presented over a traveling-at-lightspeed style graphic. That in combination with the repetitive music gave me a bit of a headache sometimes.
I liked the sound effects and the dialogue. I like how lo-fi they sounded, presumably because of them having to fit onto an n64 cart. The voice acting was... interesting but it fit the overall vibe of the game. Bit cheesy, bit B-movie. Very cool.
The screaming cat sound that the Skedars made in the last level gave me some not entirely pleasant flashbacks to playing Turok!
@ralphdibny Noice! Yeah, the last boss is far from the best moment of the game... Regarding the columns in that level you have a map gadget that lets you know which ones to hit. Not sure how did you use a guide as at least on the normal difficulty they change every time though
@Balta666 I just needed it to point me in the right direction as to what I was actually supposed to be doing. I think on my first run through the level, I just killed all the Skedar available to me, I didn't know it was the spires she was referring to when she said something and I was looking at the weird sculptures, throwing out the gadget triggered a mission failure and using all the explosive rounds triggered a mission failure. So all I read in the guide I suppose was that your supposed to throw the thing on the spires that the detector tells you to. Also that the weak point in the wall to blow up was detectable by the IR camera, I got thrown off by a cracked rocky wall by the second shield (in Agent).
Unless I missed something in the dialogue, it reminded me of Terminator 2 on the game boy. I could never get past the first level when I was a kid. It wasn't until I was older and read a guide or something that I found out your supposed to destroy the towers in height order 😂. I am very thankful for the QoL design in modern games!
