It makes sense if you side with Dagda as you're trying to create a new world so you need to dethrone God. But yeah it makes no sense if you get the "power of friendship" ending.

dagda is a mincing queen and doesn't even have big tits like my various in game gfs, maya, nekomata, etc. oh poo poo and mfin cleopatra

i've been going through wikipedia lists of games starting with intellivision to remind myself and only putting them in if i beat them. it's been fun. i've beat at least 224 games (i can't find dragon quest 2 or tmnt2: the arcade game), and i haven't gone through gamecube, playstation, playstation 2, wii or wii U yet.

i have a ggapp thing but i forgot to update it for last year, though handily i got THE IMP ZONE GAMES COMPLETED 2021 THREAD for it in case i ever will to and will have done, i did try putting everything i ever recall playing/beating

ggapp.io/Arfjason


anyway, i started my year of gradius by beating SCRAMBLE, of which gradius is a spiritual successor and even apparently started development as SCRAMBLE 2.


infuriating. a sudden spike of annoying unpredictable bullshit near the end, followed by a gauntlet of tight corridors in a game that only lets you advance up to the middle of the screen. took me about one hour, and i cant even imagine how angry this would have made me if there had actually been any monetary transaction involved.

i wish i had played this version. even the normal song is catchy though, lol.

Spelunker
while this metroidvania was designed for the previous generation of consoles, it was at the tail end during the crash, so the NES version is perhaps the most well-known. apparently this is infamous for its poor controls, and don't get me wrong, they're bad, but i think it's just the game's complicated development cycle make it a second generation game on a third generation console. more than anything else, this feels like playing Pitfall, and it controls about how Pitfall did. that just feels terrible because it's on a console with games that control more like Super Mario Bros. you can only fall a couple of pixels, and the slightest tap when you're climbing a rope makes your guy climb off of it into thin air. areas like this make you break out into a cold sweat:



that's basically the major problem: the jumping requires very precise inputs. it's intentional that it's hard, but it's naturally pretty frustrating. but it's cool! you have a limited power supply that ticks down as you explore, and there are batteries that recover it at set points in the cave. other things you can collect are treasures, keys, bombs and flares. treasures give you points. keys (there are blue and red) unlock doors of their color, and bombs can blow up boulders that block your path. there are only two enemies in the game: a bat and a ghost. you can temporarily scare the bat away with a flare, and you can bust the ghost at the cost of some of your power supply. they're not nearly as much of a threat as falling off a ladder or missing your jump by a pixel. the game has checkpoints where you recover your power. it's a pretty good game if you think of it as an atari game with upscaled graphics rather than a nintendo game.

full disclosure, the game puts you back in the same cave but ups the difficulty something like six times, but i only played through the first cycle. that felt like enough, i got a victory screen:

Spy Hunter
not much to say about this one. it's a top down vertical driving game. the road is endless and there is no ending, so i played until i felt like i'd seen everything. you have infinite bullets and you're trying to shoot enemy cars while avoiding civilians. you can also get some special weapons. it's supposed to feel kind of like you're in a james bond car chase scene, and it sort of does, for awhile. there are cars trying to shoot you, some trying to blow out your tires or run you off the road, and helicopters dropping bombs. there are even boats later. it was probably a great arcade game to sit in back in like 1983 but the NES port doesn't feel fleshed out.

Sqoon
middling horizontal shmup in which you play a submarine. the idea is that invaders from neptune have melted the polar ice caps and you are rescuing people they've kidnapped. each "phase" (there are 8) has a little cityscape at the beginning that's supposed to be a different earth city that's now underwater. it's got the basics - you have missiles that fire below and a basic attack that fires forward and you can upgrade each once. no shield and no choices of powerup. the "bosses" are all just little neptunian bases that have three parts to hit. sometimes there are little neptune bases you can shoot that release people you can rescue. the quirky thing is that you have a certain amount of fuel that gradually runs out, and the only way to refill it is to either A) rescue 9 people or B) have rescued at least one person and shoot a crab at the bottom of the screen and grab the dot he leaves behind quickly. this was an interesting mechanic and creates all of the challenge in the game, but it gets really repetitive. game loops at the end without a cut scene. someone at quality control was sleeping on the job again because there is a topless mermaid in the game.



next up is a power pad game called Stadium Events.

e: or........ not. next up is Star Voyager. i'll talk more about Stadium Events if and when i get World Class Track Meet later, but the short version is that they're the same game and i will play it under World Class Track Meet.

Review:
I beat this game 3 times now over the last 15 years and I still really like it. It's really ambitious for a 2007 game and a reminder for those who liked old Bioware games what we lost. I love the setting of this game, the detailed lore, the little details like descriptions of each planet. I don't mind a lot of the things people hate about this game, like the Mako sections. It's fun landing on random planets and seeing different slices of biome, just driving around. Another thing about this game I love is the music, which fits perfectly to each scene. The characters are mostly boring outside of a few like Wrex, but it's forgivable since you only spend time with them on your ship as you see fit. I also hosed the blue alien, which was awesome in glorious HD.
The problem with this game is the combat, and it leaves a lot to be desired. Frankly, it's terrible. The items you get from drops and chests are all very pointless outside of watching number go up (and even then its hard to tell because I'm pretty sure there is level scaling). Also, the animations in combat are all loving terrible as well. One other thing that really annoyed me is that the sprint makes your military guy tired after 4 seconds.
The negatives don't weigh down how fun it is to be a psychopath in this game, threatening everyone, killing people for the slightest grief they give you, and generally being an insane rear end in a top hat, which more games need to let you do.

8/10
