The levels of genius in this game are amazing. Still being played 30 years later, because of all the forethought and great design. Sequence breaks, the story, music, sound effects, all combine to create a game that is as good the 100time you play it as well as the first.

11:00 right, Its just a coincidence that a third game took place in a hotel and the fact that Luigi has a ghost helping him. Also Bogmire's my favorite boss in the game just due to how he's a literal manifestation of the Mansion's fear and despair and how his fight can be difficult to get gold on if with all the shadows coming after you.
@basedsamtv8 күн бұрын
i do think bogmire's lore is interesting, i just wish they could have somehow incorporated it into the game itself instead of just being supplemental backstory. no idea how they could do that, but without that knowledge he just comes off as kind of a "generic shadow monster" that appears out of nowhere

Personally for me. The more elemental and special effect stuff in games the better. Borderlands having Radiation, Acid, Fire, Ice, and even Electricity is awesome. Fallout has lots too but my favorite is poison, radiation, and plasma. :)

My head canon for why king boo always looks different is because there are actually multiple different king boos and each one presides over their own portion of Mario hell. Like they’re supposed to be the Mario variant of hell’s demon princes.. but I’m pretty sure that only translated to my brain

i hella relate to your first impression of the game. as a kid the mystery of it made me too scared to explore it (I was already scared to play 64 by myself due to bowser's laugh and the emptiness of it, so LM was like that turned to 100) . its hilarious how short of a game it is but it took me years to finish as a kid. but even as a like a 5 year old who couldnt graps, it still left a deep impression to where i love the game dearly. i can watch speedruns an lets play back to back to back

I love the first Luigi's Mansion. The newer ones never quite had the same atmosphere as the original, and the portrait ghosts remain unmatched for me
@sassyimps16 күн бұрын
The note about capturing ghosts; Every standard ghost type has a sort of "pull strength" value. Additionally, the Portrait Ghosts, including to some degree the Boss Ghosts each have an individual value. For instance, the Gold Ghost and Speedy Spirit have a "low" pull strength. The Purple Puncher has a "med-low" strength. The Blue Twirler has a "strong" pull strength. Most Portrait ghosts have pull strengths that range from "Medium" to "Strong", with one notable exception being Madame Clairvoya, who, uniquely, has the lowest pull strength of all the ghosts in the game. The pull strength value determines how fast the ghost moves, how hard it pulls against Luigi and in most cases, how violently the ghost changes direction. Stronger ghosts tend to require more use from the C-Stick. I learned from the 3DS version that the C-Stick can influence Luigi's pulling ability by yanking it. It's not necessary, I got all gold frames as a kid without even knowing about it, but it _can_ help. I still don't fully understand its mechanisms though, so perhaps it's placebo. The ghosts will break free if they're allowed to build up enough strength to do so. Their strength builds as long as they aren't being pulled, and drains when being pulled. Though they will also break free if they manage to catch an object between Luigi and themselves, or if Luigi has simply held onto them for too long, regardless of how much strength they've built up. Hope this helps anyone reading it <3

Zero Mission is the cartoonish, fluffy duffy version of a dark, atmospheric and eerie sci-fi videogame classic. I personally prefer the original Metroid for all these reasons. My only problem with the NES Metroid is the idiotic necessity for energy harvesting every time you lose and/or restart the game. But there's ways to play it using save states since many years ago, thanks to emulation. Not a big fan of GB Advance Metroid games, but to each his own, so, I'm glad they exist.

Before I'm watching the video, why Nintendon't? They literally released their own remake after AM2R. You could argue that AM2R brought a lot more but in the same way SR also made good changes and was also very important lorewise Especially regarding Ridley and the connection to the Prime sub-series.

I adored this game and I've beaten it multiple times. I was so proud when I did the 100% speedrun achievement on my second run, in steel soul too. Finishing Radiance with just one HP, fingers tickling and with more adrenaline than blood in my veins. With that said, I'm never going to do Pantheon 5. It's forever going to be the only achievement I don't have, mocking me every time I hear or see anything related to this game. I genuinely dislike this challenge with a passion. Like you said, it's just 30 minutes of busywork only to be demolished by Sly because you haven't had a chance to get acquainted with winged Nosk yet, so you lost a few masks on that fight. Even if I ever make it past that little turd, I know I won't be able to do NKG and PV ever again in a marathon setting, let alone absrad. It's insane, ridiculous, unfair and a super unnecessary blemish on an otherwise near perfect game. I really don't feel like the bosses in this game were designed with the idea of beating them all in one sitting. But endless congratulations, respect and honour to you for getting through it, man. You're a legend.

I just want to thank you for the idea of thinking about the confrontation with Mother Brain as an interactive cut-scene; it seems obvious in retrospect but I, personally, never would've seen it without you. I'm one of those mutants who are incapable of even noticing atmosphere in an artistic sense, so since, as you note, it's not really a fight, it was my one real gripe with the game. Now, thanks to you, I can see the Ridley fight as the final boss and that fixes everything that matters. So, again, thank you!
