@@frosteddonuts1633 I was about to say that Obelix would just be petrified if he drank a potion if Asterix canon was adhered to but the book which shows this ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asterix_and_Obelix_All_at_Sea ) was released after this omnishambles of a game so I have to agree with you here. The Asterix arcade game (which is actually really good, and the reason why I decided to buy this) used boars to power up Obelix while the potions were usable by Asterix but that was a scrolling beat-'em-up so it fitted the franchise better than the potion-centric game play here does.

[@robertanderson9447]

This isn't an inherently bad concept, basing the game around figuring out how to clear each level as fast as possible. It could've been like a puzzle almost. But even if this was on a lower difficulty, many of the levels still suffer from either poor design or just the problem of aiming your crucial potions. Also that really was the worst lava graphic in any game.

[@rubywest5166]

Yeah, you're probably right. Have a lenient timer on easy/normal for the player to learn the game; give double the contents for potions on easy, and respawning on easy/normal; give potions an aiming arc on easy; rework the sections where damage boosting is *required* , or if keeping them on hard give the players chickens. That way players can *learn* the levels and how to use their potions effectively, and damage boosting becomes a "see if you can work it out" strategy on hard. Then fix the basic gameplay. More warning on falling platforms/leaves. A punch that works on enemies on a slope below you. General physics and hit boxes. Better explained boss mechanics. Some indication of which blind pits are okay to go down. Easy is the basic "learn the game" mode. Normal is the "You've got time to correct mistakes" mode. Hard is the "You sure you've learnt the game? Learnt all the little tricks? Now *Prove it* " mode

[@markkoetsier6475]

That lava takes the cake, but the whole game looks like some kind of bloody prototype where they still have to fill in the basic building blocks of the stages with actual graphics. It's ridiculous.

@@Haganeren that was probably it. But them having a debilitating inability to manage time would explain the insanity of the in-game timer too XD

[@Haganeren]

@@vaimantobe3034 Well, i have a theory on that. The game is on "hard" difficulty. What would you do if you had to design the difficulty mode for your game ? Creating a more complex IA or putting more ennemies takes time. Having ennemies take more health out of you can create situation where it's impossible to win since you carry your health level after level. So the simplest way is to play with your timer because it basically need no test, no additional feature and no work from you. So yeah, just ask your testers team ( the QA ) to speedrun your level in order to determine what challenging time the player could have if he already finished the game. The QA plays your game all days for several months so of course they are very VERY strong at the game which is why the timer could be so insane. I really think that's how it happened but it's still just a theory.

James at one point was wanting to retire The Nerd but the Screenwave guys convinced him to keep doing it if they wrote scripts and James just acts parts out. I understand James has a real family now and doesn't have as much time as he used to, but I really hope that The Nerd character isn't dragged and brutalized through the mud for years to come and that he properly retires The Nerd in one final blaze of glory in a way that makes all kinds of throwbacks to older episodes and wraps everything up on a good note.

What is the time limit in the universe? Well, for Asterix, it would be until his magic potion's effect runs out and he's back to regular human strenght. And he isn't very strong considering how small he is, so he wouldn't be able to finish the mission I guess. But that doesn't make sense for Obelix, considering he's constantly under magic potion effect... maybe it's until he gets so hungry that he's too grumpy to go on and just sits down and pouts? Also, the "hooks" are not hooks, but sickles, something that often appears in Asterix, and the tool the druids use to collect herbs. So it's safe to assume Asterix/Obelix can use it to get some herbs that help them, or that it represents some magical help from Panoramix.

It's actually very accuarate to the source material. In the comics they do in fact beat the living shit out of entire armies of roman legionaries thanks to a special potion given by the druid Panoramix (Obelix has a permanent effect for falling into a calduron full of it when he was a child).

[@lollikabosso.w.n7153]

The only thing i question is mortality of the characters. In movies and comics, they are basicaly unstopable, but then comes the question if they can die. Asterix games made me question this. Asterix is standart mortal, unless he drank the potion he is powerless Obelix can apparently die by drinking more than an ounce of the potion, as apparently stated in the comic, where our heroes go to america and obelix apparently can turn into stone by drinking the potion, since he fell into it.

1:01 this is gonna be like the battletoads episode, now is it

[@emperortoho]

damn, it sucks that this is so bad, the comics were really funny when i was a kid and this really stains its reputation

[@graftongazaway5633]

The music in this game is pretty catchy for being heavily strict on time

[@garrysucks4190]

15:56 That theoretically could happen. You could kill someone and if they have enough momentum posthumously, they can land a punch on you.

[@CookieficationJ]

38:28 somebody really looked at these snowflakes and said "this is ok" I mean the same can be said for most of the rest of the game, but these snowflakes in particular got me, y'all

[@WildManToons]

20:12 Omg I would have probably broken something if that happened to me

[@graftongazaway]

When you find yourself wanting to damage boost through most of the game to save time, I wouldn't say it likely has very good level design

[@amandamakin1542]

Well, this video reminds me of Worst Levels Ever #21; he couldn't decide which level from Battletoads was the worst one, so he added ALL of the awful, hard levels from that game. Also, that Lub Lub as T-Bird raging at his computer is hilarious. Lub Lub as Von Karma slamming his head on a wall would be another hilarious skit. The exploding Viking women remind me of Mr. Creosote (exploding fat man) from Momty Python's The Meaning of Life

Asterix really got no love in videogames until XXL came out

[@TheMacCheechMan]

The level at 18:57 has a secret area near the beginning with a bomb, allowing you to clear the stage much easier.

[@froghugs2597]

Somehow every video you make feels as if it came out years ago, but at the same time they feel like as if they came out only a few months ago. I'm not sure how to describe it, but it's interesting, to say the least.

[@Hope_Upstairs]

"I think this was the level I usually gave up on and then started playing Dynamite Heady or something..."

[@shardtheduraludon]

4:35 Did you really redraw that scene from Battletoads just for a quick joke?

[@miaspaghetti]

I think someone else did it and sent it to him

[@Mecceldorf]

What is with the quality assurance here?! The first half of the game was god awful, heck, the entire game is, but suddenly they start streamlining levels, learn how to commit to graphic design, and suddenly the music isn’t the soundtrack of every Data Design game ever made?

[@ironmilutin]

I'm sorry you had to go through this... With what some of these levels look like, making another 3h+ long videon on Corpse Party sounds like it would've hurt you less.

[@napoleoncomplex2712]

At least Corpse Party had some interesting world-building and characters you actually care about to round out the distressing setting and time investment in the editing room.

[@tasty_cactus]

The World 4 Boss reminds me of the cliff temple in Donkey Kong Country Returns

[@justaintfeelinit8742]

The devs really made and looked at this and said yeah this is fun

[@DustyTheKitty]

I could never get far with this game when I was a kid, Couldn't even reach the first boss, the time limit for each level is downright merciless. Always played it from time to time though as there wasn't too many options for games when i was a kid and i still enjoy the OST to this day.

[@skiller5034]

An autoscroller. With a time limit. *Who thought this was a good idea?!*

[@kianamoore3879]

No one.

[@magik4353]

a video on asterix and obelix the day nintendo announces a new smash character, hmm? could it be?

[@soulhoney1908]

Nah it sephiroth

[@Pēm̐cā]

My uncle played astreix on master system

[@vincenthaynes3603]

who survived, your uncle, or the master system?
