Hundreds of hours were indeed spent in split screen multiplayer. Thank you for letting me watch someone else enjoy a game that shaped my childhood.

[@Lunar_Capital]

@@browning2471 Well I thank your friend for contributing to one of my favorite childhood games.

[@strikermodel]

We actually did end up hearing the full story of what happened from one of the developers. They had a full trilogy planned. The problem was that the publisher wouldn't advertise their game, and like you said, it was released right after big competition. The publisher basically shot it in the leg before it even entered the race, and it didn't sell enough for them to fund a sequel. The game was also rushed out the door, the deadlines were pushed up on the developers and they couldn't negotiate more time. I might be off on the details, but the article is pretty easy to find with a quick Google search. It's worth reading.

[@jacobweatherford4696]

This game needs to come to the attention of someone who can remaster it and hopefully get the rest of the trilogy made.

All I have is praise for this game. Extremely unique feel, hilarious writing, great voice acting, great music, huge amount of weapons to mix things up, enemies that lose limbs and limbs that get dislocated and flail and shoot in random directions when shot (something not seen today let alone back then), upgradeable weapons, simple yet effective level design that maximizes fun and fighting, huge number of levels, vehicles, the extremely unique ability to hack into certain enemies with what my friends and i call the "toothpaste gun", boss fights, vehicle levels, grenades that effect enemies differently, and enough difficulty that i doesnt feel like a kids game. I literally cannot recommend this game enough and its easy to pick up for less than $5. It is super fun, yeah not a great story, but if you want a game for endless hours of fun and badass gameplay pick this up.

[@LD-kc2je]

Never thought this game got the recognition it deserved. Picked it up randomly at movie gallery and fell in love. This was my intro to shooters and I still think to this day it did a damn good job especially for the time period. I only ever got to play the multiplayer with my little cousin, I can only imagine how great that was with 3/4 players

[@RupertAndCheese]

Dude I loved this game, the floppy limbs were so hilarious, and watching one of the grunts run around in circles with his entire body flopping randomly was the funniest thing ever. Really challenging in a fun way for the most part. However, the rivet gun, the sniper kind of weapon, had a hidden feature when you upgraded it to max level, hold down the trigger to charge up and explode the shot. I played through the entire game for a LONG time, before randomly figuring it out one time while screwing around. The description TELLS YOU about it, but doesn't say how to do it, and I couldn't work it out so I always assumed it was just flavour text. Also some of the secret chips were hard as balls to find.

[@djentlemann6663]

also with mining lazer level 2 and 3 if you partially hold the trigger, a bit less than halfway, it charges up with a short range shotgun burst. i also figured that and every other obscure trick in the game out by myself, as theyre not explained in game. the only secret chips i never found til i looked them up years later were the ones found by moving objects with the loader (a random rock on Clean Up for example)

[@Medietic4]

I don't know if anyone mentioned this already but the antenna on Glitch's back can be used to aim the grenade slingshot which makes the junkboss much simpler. Cryptic still, but highly intuitive once you realize it.

[@Jake_Eyes]

I think the custom textures are what's causing the frame hitches. I disabled them and that got rid of all the frame hitches except a few at the beginning of a level. I only tested this on one level, though.

[@someguy4667]

Would be good to see if that is the case, I might consider this on my first time play. Maybe try out the vanilla game for a bit then use the remapping project on a new save to see how it compares.

[@mattdubon]

@@someguy4667 as long as you set the textures to prefetch and cache into RAM, they won't cause any slowdown. Slowdown can also be caused by shader compilation, could play around with those settings too.

[@Jake_Eyes]

@@mattdubon Where are these settings and which version of Dolphin are you using?

[@mattdubon]

@@Jake_Eyes Advanced graphics settings. "Prefetch Custom Textures" will store them all in RAM so they don't have to load from the hard drive at the moment the game needs them. Depending on how large and how many textures there are, you may not have enough RAM, but for this it's probably fine.

[@EmergencyChannel]

Most GameCube games are only a few gb, so you should be able to preload the whole game in ram, even uncompressed if you have 16gb of ram (maybe even 8gb would work).

[@lethauntic]

14:19 A correction here: They take away all of your stuff for these few sections, however you _do_ get a selection of three different weapons. When I looked, I had a choice between the rivet gun, scatter blaster, _then_ the possession tether. So no, you don't _have_ to use the tether, even after you die you get placed into the room to change if you desire. Not that it makes it a whole lot easier, but it does mean that you have more than one way to go about it. Also, the shields _do not_ prevent you from possessing them. The only real way to tell if you can't tether one of them is by looking for the pink port- I think that it shows you a red circle with a slash as well, but it's easier to just look for the dot. What I did, was pick up an emp, stunned a titan and possessed him, then killed everyone else off. I'm sure that not knowing that you can still possess even when a shield is in play might make things harder, maybe. So there's that. It's not that different from the recruiter grenade, as some are effected by it, others are not, it's just a matter of checking and no, shields don't effect that either.

I got this game before the Xbox store shutdown and I got to admit, I wish I played this bad boy as a kid, I was into Bionicle and the animated series Heavy Gear, I really think if Metal Arms wasn't planned as a vídeogame, it wound have been an amazing animated CG film on the 90s.

This is one of the few games that has come out unfulfilled that I actually get upset at. I loved this game when I was younger and while I still do, the more I go back the more I just wish it both got a sequel or sequels and was just made better in general. Personally I'd love it if somebody contacted the original creator and just helped him make it now even if it's under a different title. Hell I'd love it if he could just buy it off Acti-Blizz, but he already tried once and I don't think he's gonna try again. *Man* I wish I could do it for him.

13:05 The "Zombie" enemies can be killed by throwing explosives on them when they are scattered on the ground. That's when they are vulnerable to attacks. Well, explosives. They were my greatest fear in Metals for so long.

[@GmodPlusWoW]

Holy crap, Mozer is voiced by Patrick Warburton! I'd recognize that voice anywhere! Also, for a moment I thought this was going to be a Nitro Rad video, since this seems like the kind of game he'd do a video on. Also also, I literally just noticed the Marathon symbol/Reclaimer Glyph on Glitch. Granted, it was thanks to the Infinity video, but now I'm back here, and with the similarities this game has to Halo, I feel like I'm slipping back into the waves again.

The game was one of my favourites and the music comes into my head fairly frequently. It was such a unique game. I consider there to be a spiritual successor to this which is Binary Domain on the xbox 360, which is a fantastic game and has the same limb damage mechanics, though ironically doesn't do them as well overall as Metal Arms did.
