I like how that one soldier is just screaming "Alert!" into the freezing night forever. Like he had no idea what else to do, so put his lessons in voice projection to good use. 😂
Why thank you! part of that isnt for any grand strategy or anything, its just when I get towards the end of a video I am thinking "what game do I actually want to play" and I then try and craft a challenge from there
@ that’s just another reason the channel is so great. It really makes a difference when a creator is doing something that actually interest them rather then whatever will get them the most views
I love how the new retro indie game style that games picked up recently influenced me so much that i thought this was like a new indie game, never in my life would i have expected this to have come out in 2003
As soon as you mentioned the knives and said "we can't use" I was like "...should we tell him?" But then you did the pause note and I knew it was going to come up lol
this is the first time i've ever heard the phrase "aggravated goatse" and quite frankly i think i need to call 111 and ask for advice on dealing with a serious case of the creases 🤣.
Dude... I had to subscibe. The production quality is insane. Especially considering your sub count! It's amazing. Yeah, subbed. I look forward to more. Also? Never played XIII, have heard of it, but never gave it a go. Now? After watching this, I think I just might get me a copy.
There is no point in lying, the streams are right there, besides telling the story how it happeneed is half the fun, successful or not. I pick some strange off the wall challenges, so I cant expect them all to be successful
That is the one thing that I also think adds something that is unique to me, and how I do things, its good to see that the work that goes in is appreciated
Honestly you've become one of my favourite channels man! The intro alone is superb. As a fellow English Nobleman to another, Bravo Sir Rando. Love this game. - Lewis NC
Not my usual kind of content, but the choice of game got me to give it a chance the video itself was pretty great but i do have to applaud you for the excellent use of 3d (blender) to help aid the presentation. It was much higher and a lot more then i expected . I assume you ripped the models and everything yourself ?
The models had already been ripped (which did save me a job) but I had to manually rip level geometry when that was required. Most of these older games especially on PC has had a lot of their models ripped Glad you enjoyed it!
Ever since I was a kid I wished for a XIII sequel, all we got was more and more assassin's Creed, but I'm happy to see that there's people still playing this classic, nice vid got a sub
See, John Rainbow is even funnier because the founder of the fictional anti-terrorist organization Rainbow is named John. And this being a Ubisoft game, I can't tell which fictional military person they're actually referring.
Been watching thru your videos and these are phenomenal. The 3D modeling and animation work REALLY adds a lot to it! Plus the variety of games you cover is very nice. Great work!
you could technically cheese and use the M16 gun in the end of Emerald Military Base before leaving off in the chopper. No ammo count so technically no bullet number droping 😁
What a run! Always loved this game, getting as far as you did with limited bullets is wild! Good to see how much the channel is growing too, keep it up!!
I remember quiting this game due to the stealth. Looked like such a cool game but by the first stealth section I just found it unplayable. Great to see a play through
I like to imagine, years after this, XIII sees someone reach into a hidden pocket of a coat that's similar to his, thinks " huh wonder if my coat has that " and finds a military surplus of bullets.
The fact this video only has 20k views is absurd. Amazing video. Can’t wait til you make it big. You’ve earned this subscription for the sheer amount of effort and dedication you’ve put into this
I know it sounds weird, but I'm actually happy to see a challenge run that for once doesn't work out in the end. It takes some of the suspense out of watching when every "Can you beat X with(out) Y" video is really just "Here's how you can beat X with(out) Y". And no matter the outcome: The well done animated gags between gameplay and the top-notch wordplay were entertaining either way.
Ha. Thank you! Glad you liked it. I try to pick some off the wall stuff and I never know if it will work untill I'm actually doing it. But it's more about the journey and whatnot anyway.
Amazing video! Thank you for enduring a challenge run of a game very dear to me, and sharing it with the world in such a high quality format. I salute you for your effort!
Umm actually you can QUITE clearly see in the save/load game menu that it is a page 1 of 2 🤓 Run ruined. Just kidding, great video mate! I felt something very deep on this one.
So, looking at the earlier sections of the game and the rules, i would like to propose an idea for an extra rule for the challenge: you start with the thirteen bullets, but what is to stop you from picking up/recovering bullets from ammo supplies ect? You still have that limit of 13 bullets, but as you're using them, you also recover/ collect replace the used bullets of that 13 round count
Had this for the PS2 back in the day. It was fun but I remember being a bit underwhelmed. Did enjoy Adam West’s performance mind you. Unlike most of the cast he didn’t sound like he was on ketamine
this was a lot of fun to watch both live as you was doling it and in video format. i still think there could be a way past the heli boss but i really cant figure it out and i been trying now for a few weeks. keep up the good work and thank you for the video
This amount of dedication and effort you put into editing is very impressive. It's such an unique challenge which surprised me in the way devs coded the game. Stay Alert!
Im glad everyone seems to like it, happy new year . ALERT!!! ALERT!!! ALERT!!! ALERT!!! ALERT!!!ALERT!!!ALERT!!! ALERT!!! ALERT!!! ALERT!!! ALERT!!! ALERT!!!ALERT!!!ALERT!!!
Hey so like, I'm halfway trough the video (specifiaclly the first instance of Rocket Bonk) and I have a question..... Don't the knives have a stab melee? Could that have saved you some headache? Edit: Yeah no you use the stabby stabby in the video my apolocheese.
@sirrando Ahh. Not sure why I thought there were then. But then again it has been a long time since I last played, might have to give it another go soon. Good video tho, the suffering aside.
I played Winback on the PS2 (as shown) its kitsch-y, kinda jank in places, the Voice performances are hilariously bad. But man, it was an absolute blast to play, I have a real soft spot for it
Do you know how hard it is to make me subscribe? It's Tenchu with only 10 items max hard, I had to unsub from another channel to make room for you. 10/10 presentation, only enforced by your level headed take on sponsorships!! Good God the algorithm has finally, FINALLY recommended some good stuff to me. I'm not making enough to contribute financially at this point in my life, but I'll be damned to not like, comment my genuine opinion and share with the two friends I have. (Yes I have 2 genuine friends, the rest are just life making us talk cordially XD )

Thanks, I enjoy doing them, and its good to see they are appreciated
I very much appreciate them too
"say the line henchmen"

Not only do you do cool challenges you do them on more lowkey games. Absolutely phenomenal channel

I love how the new retro indie game style that games picked up recently influenced me so much that i thought this was like a new indie game, never in my life would i have expected this to have come out in 2003
And by ubisoft! Crazy what some companies we see as super stale and safe were like back when they could take risks
the day no one appreciates a good shaun of the dead reference i am no longer living
Absolutely, I just cant help myself, its so tempting to reference
As soon as you mentioned the knives and said "we can't use" I was like "...should we tell him?" But then you did the pause note and I knew it was going to come up lol
yup, didnt I feel daft about that one for the first 15 hours of gameplay

I've been looking forward to this one for a while. Amazing animation skills, the presentation is improving by a ton in each video.

I massively appreciate keeping it legit. Far better than a false victory.
There is no point in lying, the streams are right there, besides telling the story how it happeneed is half the fun, successful or not. I pick some strange off the wall challenges, so I cant expect them all to be successful
The animations you've done for your videos really set them apart from other challenge runners. Theyre deeply appreciated.
That is the one thing that I also think adds something that is unique to me, and how I do things, its good to see that the work that goes in is appreciated
The presentation, the concept, the roadblocks, the workarounds, the jokes, the trip down memory lane on a classic game.
S-tier challenge run vid!

The General is voiced by Adam West, isn't he?
May he rest in peace. o7
Correct he is. o7
Only halfway through but I love this video. XIII was one of my favorite games when I was younger and this is just such a fantastic loveletter to it.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it. And i think that a loveletter to the game is how I like to think of my videos as they are all games I really like

I just hope that we can all forget the XIII remake remaster whatever, the disaster that it was.
Remake? I dont remember seeing one for this game... no not at all... not even once

I loved this game on the PS2.
Twenty years later and that "Alert!" still sits in the marrow.
Fifteen minutes and you can already FEEL his sanity and soul leave his body.
It's not even the first time SCAT was used for fictional team, Night Trap had Special (Sega) Control Attack Team.
@@leress I never knew that! That is wild.
Actually the first game that used SCAT in that context was SCAT for the NES
One of the best videos I've ever seen, so good to see XIII content
27:34 Loving all the little animation touches like this in this video!
I'm so glad people remember XIII. It is still one of my favorite game to this day
I never thought I'd see a video on UA-cam about XIII challenge. That was one of the games that I hated, yet I played it nonstop on the PS2.
Well, this channel is all about playing the games I fancy in weird ways, so you will often see some oddball picks lol

Yes. Yes it is

@@AndreasWB tbf. I think it does still look pretty stylish! The art style definitely does some heavy lifting
Thank god it's the original, I remember the remaster was a real mess
One of my childhood favorites. Great video.
This was also one of my childhood favorites, I also (somehow) have 4 copies of the game, 2 on Xbox, a gamecube version and the steam version.
@sirrando The more the merrier lol. I still have my childhood xbox copy and also the 4cd pc version laying around somewhere.
Your editing is brilliant
thanks, I do try!
great video mate, like the editing!
I see no way to get past the mongoose sadly. It might have been possible to find triggers without bullets for the 15, but no point trying there.
