You can technically use the sun fire pods outside the lair of the blind ones and they are essentially N64 era flash grenades! Not that you’d find ammo for it layin around outside the special slow ammo respawn zones of course. More of a thing you mess around with with cheats turned on.

The Max Payne child was pretty hilarious. I'll also say that every level so far has felt like a maze to me, watching along, and I remember getting lost as gently caress when I tried playing Turok 2 like a decade ago.

Same issue I have with Tranq Rifle and Charge Darts... if it ain't super lethal, it doesn't fit my playstyle. Even having played this game on Hard these stun weapons were really only curiosities.

The non lethal weapons were more useful back when you only had 1 stick to aim,slow movement and a shittyframe rate to deal with. I remember very fondly times as a kid where I’d hit a dinosoid with the charge dart, giggle while they wiggled in place and I slashed them to death with the war blade or the razorwind

Those maps look like Spaghetti, I can understand why people got lost so often. The only thing worse than being lost is being lost while at walking speed, thank goodness for the speed mod.

Primagen's Lightship reminds me a lot of Unreal Tournament, maybe it's the music and all of the corridor greebles.

The Nuke definitely is more effective against the smaller enemies than any of the bosses for the most part. But in the time it takes to fire and admire a nuke explosion you could have shot the enemy with ANYTHING else in your arsenal! The Nuke CAN be a good weapon to use on the man himself but it seems kinda janky in the hitboxes. It’s certainly no Chronoscepter where you just point and shoot and you win if you don’t miss. Also Sally I hope you go into The Primagens comic book background either during the key hunt or maybe during the fight itself because MAN does the game not do him any favors

Apparently there was a band named Cerebral Bore, but they broke up in 2014. Their music was described as "brutal death metal with personality and compositional diversity". Their wiki page literally starts off with HEY DID YOU MEAN TO LOOK UP THE TUROK WEAPON INSTEAD OF WHATEVER THE HELL THIS IS? It's great.

Congrats Sally! YOU! ARE TUROK! A few fun (and not fun) facts to round out the LP! The razorwind comes back bloody if you hit an enemy with it, but if you throw it into water in that state it comes back clean! I only found out this one on my latest play through inspired by Sally’s run here, Purrlin are immune to the Cerebral Bore! It just bounces off their heads and they look a little confused about it for a second. This remake added A Hardcore difficulty and it lives up to its name! Every enemy does 20+ Damage with all their attacks so the name of the game is constant quick saves and quick loads to get through. When you’re going for that Primagen Key in the Blind Ones level that guy getting free shots at you? 40 points of damage a shot! You are completely at the mercy of the game deciding to miss you 3 times assuming only 100 health if you can even attempt to grab this key. Unless you can bounce a grenade into him or maybe get a sun fire pod up there somehow.

The Shame Boy posted:Congrats Sally! I was curious so I did a little digging and there's apparently a whole bunch of categories the Bore doesn't work against. Small enemies, like compies and spiders, since they are simply too small to be effective, and bosses because they are too large. The Deadkin because presumably there is no brain activity for the Bores to lock onto... and as you say, Purr-Linn because there's too little brain activity. Ha! Also, yeah, Hardcore is a pain in the rear end to beat. Lots of save states! Got through it but I'm not good enough at the game to make the LP worth watching on thay difficulty.

I looked it up and in the comics the Primagen decides to look for his old universe inside of Turok's magic bag and is never seen again. That would have certainly made for an interesting ending for this game.
