If I made a Rayman movie, if Shia LaBeouf is still as misbehaved as he used to be, I could just replace his role with Nitro Rad as Rayman (and yes, I would give Rayman the character design style it always had disregarding Rabbids)!
Give Nitro Rad green long sleeves, a green neckerchief, and some green pants and you could green screen those off so that it does look like his limbs are floating in a true Rayman style
@@NitroRad heres a "joke" this game pac-man world 3 should be called pac-man world 1/2 becuse its half good and half "it cloud be better" i have some ideas that cloud make the game better remove combat foes beeing only obstacles,more rewarding coletbles and 100%, bloopers ,more musics ambient and more "up beat" no silent (hills get it?) places and when a character is talking its turn down so you can hear them more cleary, some puzzles easy and chalanging ones and the Power ups are used on them like the Eletric one you charge a generator that will turn on a elavator,move a plataform open a door,places that fit pac-man in "his world" (sonic 06 right back at ya also kirby if you get it) a good story presentation etc ,the plataform incresing the chalange bit by bit evry level you complete, some references to namco and another characters and exploring pac-man move set to the Max what do you think?
Pac-man's Voice is so fitting and awesome. Really captures that goofy, happy, and optimistic attitude of the Man of Pac. I accept no other voice for him at all.
Zachary Kim He voiced Thomas the Tank Engine in the newer CGI series, where it’s a mixture of both the narrator as well as separate voice actors for the engines.
THAT SCENE IS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT MADE THE GAME AWESOME!!!!! Welp, maybe I was exagerrating, but even though there were a few times when the game could be a bit off with its gameplay segments, in-game 3D, questionable lack of music at points and some of its conversations like in Gogekka Central where Pac-Man was aware that Orson and the Construction Worker with the entirely resonating Northern American accent had were going too off-topic by going "You two need to snap out of it! We have a job to do, so we do the job! It's pretty straightforward! 😠", it's awesome that Nitro Rad would review Pac-Man World 3 so fairly because like its predecessors, it does have adorable cutscene visuals (even though Pac-Man World 1 and 2 have great in-game visuals, let alone for their time in the early sixth generation era of gaming), emotionally atmospheric sound pieces, a high sense of adventure even for gaming standards (something Call of Duty, Modern Sonic most if not all of the time and Bubsy are clearly gaming franchises that sorely lack of), a very vivid and creatively different story and some of the most interesting acting that can ever be found, specifically a video game (looking at you, 4Kidz Sonic!) to help make the characters strong, especially Pac-Man himself!
I'm honestly glad you liked the game more than hated it. Personally, I enjoyed Pac-Man World 3, but I understand the faults people had with it and agree entirely. My favorite parts of the game is the dialogue, it's great when Pac and Erwin snap back at each other with witty remarks. Whoever wrote the dialogue had an interesting direction. That's for sure. xD And now, we hope that Namco Bandai release a Pac Man World 4 or some new present day Platformer Pac-Man games with all the best elements from all games in HD. A guy can only dream. But after Rad talked that DON BLUTH was writing a gritty and dark story/world for a new game, I'm so mad we never got to see his dream realized. I wonder what kind of game that would have been like... :o
I really hope the World trilogy gets an HD remaster collection for current consoles like Switch, PS4 and Xbox one along with a PC version. I really hope that Pac-Man World 4 becomes a reality sometime in the future
Wow. You referenced a meme in a way that was relevant to the point you were trying to make about the tone of the game's plot. Impressive. It didn't even feel forced like most other UA-cam videos that reference memes.
I hate it when people talk about tone in games, movies, shows and other stuff because i like it the most when stuff mixes, serious, dark and emotional stuff with lighthearted and funny stuff instead of being serious all the time or being funny all the time.

Jesus, when ur pac man world 2 video was uploaded, I got a notification for it while playing pac man world 3. Right when I started watching this video, I get a notification from eBay seeing that the copy of pac man world 2 I ordered just arrived at my house.
I don't mind a cheery protagonist being part of a darker storyline now and then. Certainly breaks the monotony, and it's always a perfect opportunity to put a little lore into something that may not have had much lore before. No real need to keep the tone the exact same for every single game, it's not like it automatically changes the character's core identity. Different doesn't mean bad. Pac-Man was 25 years old by this point, ya can't expect at least a LITTLE bit of change to just not happen.
@@Gonzas97 by the time pac-man world 3 came out everyone who grew up playing pacman was over 25 themselves! gotta age a series alongside it's audience.
@@Agent-yw1kj Honestly, as much I like the first Jak game, I think the second one is the best. I think Naughty Dog was afraid of retreading the same ground they covered in their Crash games and the first Jak game and wanted to do something bold instead.
Did you know that there was a lot of cut stuff in Pac-Man world 3 mainly due to Namco telling Blitz games that they’re not canceling the game if Namco doesn’t use their money on the game and it was released in 2005, so Blitz had to use their own money to finish the game and we’re on a small time frame so the ideas and levels they wanted to put in didn’t get in like a shop to buy items, collecting power pellets and using them whenever, and a thing called Fruit smoothie. This game was basically an unfinished game that was polished up to get it on the door date of 2005. It saddens me that both Adventures and this game were cut and cut short of there production.
It’s weird, Pac-Man World, Ghost Island Pac-Man World 2, Ghost bayou Pac-Man World 3, Spectral Realm. So is the ghost island like, a vacation place? Or Orson’s study thing that was mentioned in the game?
The Ghost Bayou is part of the larger Ghost Island. Theoretically, in the mansion levels (like Ghostly Garden), if Pac wandered off the beaten path enough he could have ended up in the Bayou. Would've been a baller ass easter egg if Toc-Man's castle could be seen in the background of Haunted Boardwalk
Pac-Man World 2 is still Ghost Island, just completely haunted and, swampy, it’s also just a full extension of Toc-Manor, plus the Spectral Realm is an another dimension where the ghosts actually come from, Ghost Island is just their “real world” location.
I think World 3 has the potential to be a great game, but most of it is not realized, which is ultimately disappointing. And since 3D platformers have been making a comeback in recent times, a Pac-Man World 4 (or at least a complete remake/overhaul of World 1) would fit right in now more than ever.
well they have to options for the serie: 1)reboot the trilogy like spyro and crash and fix some of the error they have with some levels and gameplay. 2)make pac man world 4 (witch to be honest dont now what kind of story or style of anamation can it have)
@@juliannavarretealvarez3070 For Pac-Man World 4, they would have to expand the storytelling, explore the Pac-Man lore, and more challenging levels, with new move sets, while retaining the tone of Pac-Man, which is fun, entertaining, and full of challenges. Also, if they're gonna do a Pac-Man World 4, I hope they use the old Pac-Man 3D design from the World Trilogy, not the Pac-Man model from Ghostly Adventures. The Pac-Man model in Ghostly Adventures looks more human, which is not who Pac-Man is. They're trying to humanize Pac-Man, but it didn't really work. Pac-Man having the classic Pac-Man eyes works better, and with no voice.
What? Did no one of you watch the original Ms. Pacman's cutscenes? The second cutscene (after stage 5 I think) shows a stork delivering Jr. to Pacman and Ms. Pacman.
OH yeah for sure. Those games actually have more focus on shooting and blowing dudes up than platforming, so it feels like the focus is where it should be.
True, I recently played them and the platforming is a lot more simplistic than something like the first Jak or Spyro. I was also surprised at how much Insomniac directly borrowed from the Spyro games for that trilogy too.
Fair point, the run&gun would be less effective if levels were more direct obstacle-courses. Jak 2 and 3 had a different approach to platforming with shooting where some levels are built specifically for platforming while others are built specifically for shooting. And then there's all the vehicles and minigames but that's besides the point since they're not regular levels. But for Ratchet & Clank I think it's better that they kept the focus on run&gunning because clearly that's what they wanted to do the most.
God, seeing those spongebob games just reminded me of Battle for Bikini Bottom and SpongeBob The movie: The game. I remember those games being great when I was just a kid, would be interested in seeing a review to see how they hold up now
London Jackson that's just a rumor, but we do know that THQ nordic and nickelodeon are partnering up again to make more games based on their cartoons, and seeing those games remastered would be pretty bangin'.
I do like how, unlike the first two games that retained the ghosts as enemies, this time around the ghosts are friends who need to be saved as much everyone else its a nice change of pace, plot-wise
Am I the only one who wanted to see Pac man adventures to been an actual thing instead of Pac man 3 , cause with don bluth's involvement with the game it could've have alot of potential .😁
I would like to see him review the first 3 6th gen Spongebob 3D platformers. BUT I think it can wait until next year after Battle for Bikini Bottom Rehydrated comes out.
As a diehard Don Bluth fan, I would have ADORED what he had planned. Could we imagine a Pac-Man game with the kind of look and feel similar to The Secret of Nimh, American Tail, Land Before Time, and All Dogs Go To Heaven?
It makes sense that the ghost would recover from being eaten. In the original Arcade game, when a ghost was eaten it went invisible, showing just its eyes, and it would run back to the room in the centre which I’ve always called the Ghost House before coming back as a normal ghost again.
I started playing this game a few months ago and absolutely fell in love with it. Still trying to complete as of now but I just love the shit out of this game so much.
Anyone else wondering what the hell happened to Sue in this series? I grew up knowing five ghosts, Inky, Blinky, Pinky, Clyde, and Sue.... WHERE'S SUE?
Sue wasn't in the original PAC-MAN arcade game. She actually started out in Ms. PAC-MAN as a replacement for Clyde (even though she was basically just Clyde under a different name in that game, since she was the same color as him as opposed to future portrayals where she's purple). Her disappearance could have something to do with the legal issues involving Ms. PAC-MAN. Read up on it, it's a really interesting mess.
Bubbabyte no it’s a different character now, I mean SHE WAS IN THE CARTOON AS A PURPLE GHOST and Pac-Mania again as purple so Namco obviously owns the character as well as the fact that she isn’t Yum-Yum from Pac-Man Jr.
I honestly like the shift in tone in Pacman World 3. The contrast between Pacman and the world that the game takes place in brings a certain level of charm in my opinion.
10:23 Oh my God. It's that line. The line from the limited footage I've seen of this game. I saw this a long time ago and wondered why everyone was calling attention to it.
I love this game, easily my fave of the trilogy, i didn't mind the combat, certainly didn't affect my enjoyment of the game. I really wish Namco would make a Pac-Man World 4 but sadly it doesn't seem likely at this point.
You might have been using that Andre gag to prove a point, but it genuinely caught me off guard and its probably the hardest I've ever laughed at your videos because of it!
I remember this game when I was a kid, it was my first game in the "Pac-Man World" saga, then I went backwards with the second installment until the first, many thanks for reviewing it, you have brought me many memories.
Just curious, but could you possibly do the Tak series? They are a very underrated series of games (at least the first three) that I think you might enjoy.
I've been slowly finding copies of the series this past year. Once I have them all I'll definitely go a video series on them, a lot of people ask about it.
Pac-Man Adventures looks like it could’ve been really cool, I hope they eventually remake and finish it. A Pac-Man World 4 would also be awesome to see.
I saw this game at a friend’s house on their Ps2. I asked them if they liked it. They liked it! They have similar tastes in music and stuff so I think I might like this game!
This is an amazing video! I hope you'll continue with Pac-Man games in the future. I loved this series. But I must say, I am EXTREMELY glad that you mentioned Blinky and Clyde getting mixed up! That has annoyed me for years. Thanks for all of your hard work!
I really like the voice they chose for pac-man, because it's one of my favorite types of voices and if the entire game is voice acted, that will remind me fo hat in time.
As someone who played World 2 first... I honestly really liked World 3. Maybe its because I'm a sucker for scifi stuff so I'm definetily biased, but idk it just gave me Ratchet N Clank vibes so I really enjoyed it.
Pac-Man did speak in the beginning of World 1 although it was just him saying "Oh no!" and "NOOOOOOOOOO!" when he saw what happened to his birthday party.
it's always crazy to watch you talk about old games that i use to play when i was little. When i played this game as a kid i didn't even know that this game was part of a trilogy. all i knew was that there was a pacman game and that it was kind of fun. Thank you for teaching me about games that i just saw as just another game but is acutally something more then that :)
AnimeWolfgamer nice! So, I guess that means the Xbox version is the best way to play the game. With PS2 being the second best, GameCube being third best, and the PSP version being the worst way to play the game. By the way the DS version doesn’t count because it’s different from the console versions.
Oh my god I love you so much because you were using the Scott pilgrim vs the world the game soundtrack. AND Jesus your writing as went a long way but damn it getting better and better.
did i just heard a ghost say " dakka-dakka".... you doin it wrong, it's DAKKA DAKKA DAKKA DAKKA! lest you da red one cause red goes FASTA! HEY IF THERE ANY BOYZ HERE LET GIVED THEM A WARM..... WWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGHH!!!!
The “PAC-MAN Adventures” thing is interesting because in the Windows version, the game’s executable file is called “PMA_W32_M.exe” the PMA most likely standing for PAC-MAN Adventures, it seems Blitz games never even bothered to change the exe name when they were given the reigns to reshape it into a World game.
Something I think would add well to the maze segments are trigger traps, you step on a certain part of the level and a trap activates, killing or at least stunning any ghost that occupies its damage area- but it works in reverse, a ghost can trigger it on you too. That way, it still fits with keeping track of moving enemies and their position relative to you rather than the issue you reported before.
It kinda sad that I think pacman world 3 will probably never be remastered treatment like world 1 and no doubt world 2 will get. Unless of course the fans really want the whole trilogy together
I never played Pac-Man world 1 or 2 and played 3 growing up and I honestly wish it was kept as a separate series I would honestly would have love that series and just the continuation of it.
@@juliogonzalez324 Yep same thing I have to say here! Glad we have the same opinions of this game! I just can't hate this game I really grow up with this game as a kid and this game is vey nostalgia to me!

I never realized how fitting Pac-man always being a positive and happy guy was, I mean just look at him! He's always smiling!
He's based on pizza....or a cheese wheel.... I'm happy just thinking about it
His eyes are happy too
I always thought he was a fitness icon too. He's all about eating healthy fruits and exercising!

Also, if they're gonna do a Pac-Man World 4, I hope they use the old Pac-Man 3D design from the World Trilogy, not the Pac-Man model from Ghostly Adventures. The Pac-Man model in Ghostly Adventures looks more human, which is not who Pac-Man is. They're trying to humanize Pac-Man, but it didn't really work. Pac-Man having the classic Pac-Man eyes works better, and with no voice.
Here you go
Welcome to the future my friend!
So the shock powerup basically turns Pac-Man into Emperor Pac-patine.
"Is it possible to learn this power?"
"Not from a ghost..."
Wait if it's Pac's 25 bday and his son looks like 10..... was Pac Man a teen dad?
Who did he bang though? The ghost or Ms. Pac Man?
Junior was in the 20th anniversary game, too, and seemed to be about 7/8 so it's pretty likely.
What? Did no one of you watch the original Ms. Pacman's cutscenes? The second cutscene (after stage 5 I think) shows a stork delivering Jr. to Pacman and Ms. Pacman.
I didn’t know Ms. Pac-Man was a cougar.
Now we're asking the real questions
Is nobody else going to talk about Brady's J O Y C O N B O Y S Etika shirt?
Ian Sousa WE DEM BOIS
HOL UP
Oh boy....
@@LuisdenPixel Op's comment did not age well, unfortunately.
It hurts
The PS2 Ratchet & Clank games in my opinion do combat platforming the best, mostly because it's more run&gun shooting than actual combat.
OH yeah for sure. Those games actually have more focus on shooting and blowing dudes up than platforming, so it feels like the focus is where it should be.
True, I recently played them and the platforming is a lot more simplistic than something like the first Jak or Spyro. I was also surprised at how much Insomniac directly borrowed from the Spyro games for that trilogy too.
To be fair its platforming combined with run and gun mechanics mixed in making simple platforming challenges actually harder.
Fair point, the run&gun would be less effective if levels were more direct obstacle-courses. Jak 2 and 3 had a different approach to platforming with shooting where some levels are built specifically for platforming while others are built specifically for shooting. And then there's all the vehicles and minigames but that's besides the point since they're not regular levels.
But for Ratchet & Clank I think it's better that they kept the focus on run&gunning because clearly that's what they wanted to do the most.
elin111 I think they are equal to each other and both have qualities that deserve to be platinum games
Huh. I actually laughed at a meme joke!
Congratulations.
God, seeing those spongebob games just reminded me of Battle for Bikini Bottom and SpongeBob The movie: The game. I remember those games being great when I was just a kid, would be interested in seeing a review to see how they hold up now
London Jackson that's just a rumor, but we do know that THQ nordic and nickelodeon are partnering up again to make more games based on their cartoons, and seeing those games remastered would be pretty bangin'.
They do hold up, I played them recently they are fun
SteelCityFilms source?
It IS a rumor. They have not confirmed anything about remastering Battle for Bikini Bottom specifically.
They hold up quite well, still some of my favorite 3D platformers of the 6th gen.
I do like how, unlike the first two games that retained the ghosts as enemies, this time around the ghosts are friends who need to be saved as much everyone else
its a nice change of pace, plot-wise
Am I the only one who wanted to see Pac man adventures to been an actual thing instead of Pac man 3 , cause with don bluth's involvement with the game it could've have alot of potential .😁
Pacmans voice and his personality is how you translate a mute character to a character with a voice
Review SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom...Please 😛
Good choice!
I would like to see him review the first 3 6th gen Spongebob 3D platformers. BUT I think it can wait until next year after Battle for Bikini Bottom Rehydrated comes out.
Yes
As a diehard Don Bluth fan, I would have ADORED what he had planned. Could we imagine a Pac-Man game with the kind of look and feel similar to The Secret of Nimh, American Tail, Land Before Time, and All Dogs Go To Heaven?
Good news someone made a video him Called (Don Bluth Musicals)!
Dude thank you so much for covering this series. Very underrated little trilogy. Keep up the great work!
It makes sense that the ghost would recover from being eaten. In the original Arcade game, when a ghost was eaten it went invisible, showing just its eyes, and it would run back to the room in the centre which I’ve always called the Ghost House before coming back as a normal ghost again.
I started playing this game a few months ago and absolutely fell in love with it. Still trying to complete as of now but I just love the shit out of this game so much.
14:20 "hes not the type of character I'd see getting dragged into a plot like this" *literally shows him getting dragged* lmao
Love the Eric Andre reference. Who did killed Brady!?
Anyone else wondering what the hell happened to Sue in this series? I grew up knowing five ghosts, Inky, Blinky, Pinky, Clyde, and Sue....
WHERE'S SUE?
StCerberusEngel She was resurrected as a Pac-person running the arcade
Well her last appearance was in 256
Sue wasn't in the original PAC-MAN arcade game. She actually started out in Ms. PAC-MAN as a replacement for Clyde (even though she was basically just Clyde under a different name in that game, since she was the same color as him as opposed to future portrayals where she's purple). Her disappearance could have something to do with the legal issues involving Ms. PAC-MAN. Read up on it, it's a really interesting mess.
Bubbabyte no it’s a different character now, I mean SHE WAS IN THE CARTOON AS A PURPLE GHOST and Pac-Mania again as purple so Namco obviously owns the character as well as the fact that she isn’t Yum-Yum from Pac-Man Jr.
I find it funny how a semi-joking comment led people to actually trying to answer the question. lol. Keep it up.
the gun bits killed me. Please have more Brady. That analogy also about the darker story was perfect
They also killed Brady
I honestly like the shift in tone in Pacman World 3. The contrast between Pacman and the world that the game takes place in brings a certain level of charm in my opinion.
It's so gorgeous
Ok this is the best NitroRad episode I think I’ve ever seen
10:23 Oh my God. It's that line. The line from the limited footage I've seen of this game. I saw this a long time ago and wondered why everyone was calling attention to it.
10:28 my reaction entirely.
10:19
And the toilet.
Can you tell me what it means?
@@BeesOfInkpac man's sector's energy is his penis
I love this game, easily my fave of the trilogy, i didn't mind the combat, certainly didn't affect my enjoyment of the game. I really wish Namco would make a Pac-Man World 4 but sadly it doesn't seem likely at this point.
same, the punching was repetitive but the power up pellets and bounce shockwave made combat fun
You might have been using that Andre gag to prove a point, but it genuinely caught me off guard and its probably the hardest I've ever laughed at your videos because of it!
I personally enjoyed this game immensely as a child. I felt it was a TON of fun. Truth be told, this makes me want to go replay the game.
I remember this game when I was a kid, it was my first game in the "Pac-Man World" saga, then I went backwards with the second installment until the first, many thanks for reviewing it, you have brought me many memories.
Brady dies in infinity war
James... i don't feel so good
The Spectral portals were trippy. The giant siphon portals were trippy as hell.
I was watching stranger things saw the notification and was like.” Priority’s” and clicked
I didn't expect you would reference The Eric Andre Show, also great job as always in making the video.
Just curious, but could you possibly do the Tak series? They are a very underrated series of games (at least the first three) that I think you might enjoy.
Zipplip Oh, that would be great
Oh yeah i hardly remember does, the only one i got to finish was tak 2 staf of dreams.
I just recommended that series too.
I've been slowly finding copies of the series this past year. Once I have them all I'll definitely go a video series on them, a lot of people ask about it.
lenonbaby The GBA version especially should be talked about, due to how impressive of a game it really is on the handheld.
Pac Man World 3 is actually surprisingly gorgeous and I really like his voice actor
14:56 Holy shoot, that was an amazing way to get across your idea and it worked perfectly!
Pac-Man Adventures looks like it could’ve been really cool, I hope they eventually remake and finish it. A Pac-Man World 4 would also be awesome to see.
That would be smart, if they ever reimagined the stuff from Pac-Man Adventures to Pac-Man World 4 tbh
14:53 HOLD ON FOR A SEC! Brady is part of the "Joycon Boyz"?!
Well that came out of nowhere.
Sebastian Baumkuchen you bet!
Did you ever notice that pac-man's eyes are just 2 pacmans that look sideways?
It was obvious, since Pac-Man World 1
I saw this game at a friend’s house on their Ps2. I asked them if they liked it. They liked it! They have similar tastes in music and stuff so I think I might like this game!
Man I laughed way too hard at the "Help Who!" And the "Who Killed Brady?" Parts.
when are you going to livestream a chicken nugget
This is an amazing video! I hope you'll continue with Pac-Man games in the future. I loved this series. But I must say, I am EXTREMELY glad that you mentioned Blinky and Clyde getting mixed up! That has annoyed me for years. Thanks for all of your hard work!
AWWW yea! The Pac is back. Will you review any more Pac Man games?
Nothing better than sitting down on a Friday night, eating pizza, and watching an extra-long brand new Nitro Rad video.
I really like the voice they chose for pac-man, because it's one of my favorite types of voices and if the entire game is voice acted, that will remind me fo hat in time.
I honestly genuinely liked the combat system.
And yeah, the dialogue was nice, I loved wisecracking Pac-Man.
As someone who played World 2 first... I honestly really liked World 3. Maybe its because I'm a sucker for scifi stuff so I'm definetily biased, but idk it just gave me Ratchet N Clank vibes so I really enjoyed it.
Pac-Man did speak in the beginning of World 1 although it was just him saying "Oh no!" and "NOOOOOOOOOO!" when he saw what happened to his birthday party.
I remember playing this on a DS when I was younger, I loved the game but I was also stupid so any puzzle would stop me entirely
Higher Ups: We don't like the dark direction your taking.
Me: YOU HIRED DON FUCKING BLUTH, THE FUCK DID YOU EXPECT?
Well the combat was one of the main focuses in the night stages of Sonic Unleashed.
and unlike the other games in unleashed you have a LOT of combos
it's always crazy to watch you talk about old games that i use to play when i was little. When i played this game as a kid i didn't even know that this game was part of a trilogy. all i knew was that there was a pacman game and that it was kind of fun. Thank you for teaching me about games that i just saw as just another game but is acutally something more then that :)
12:26 NiCE MEME REFRENCE I WAS WONDERING WHERE YOU WERE GOIN WITH THAT
It feels like there could be a lot of potential in a Pac-Man platformer that carries over the best elements from both 2 and 3.
Ugh I wish I didn't miss this game. Fuck me is the gamecube version so hard to find. Guess I have to go online to buy it.
The gamecube version looks ugly and is buggier compared to the PS2 version from what I've played. The framerate is also choppier at times.
What about the Xbox version?
I own the GameCube version, it’s paired with Pac-Man VS too
The Ray Reviewer Xbox version is pretty good. I have a copy.
AnimeWolfgamer nice! So, I guess that means the Xbox version is the best way to play the game. With PS2 being the second best, GameCube being third best, and the PSP version being the worst way to play the game. By the way the DS version doesn’t count because it’s different from the console versions.
I like your jokes being more dark, i totally enjoyed that joke!! Also, just recently noticed your pseudo-rayman cosplay, nice hoodie!
That Eric Andre reference made my day.
Oh my god I love you so much because you were using the Scott pilgrim vs the world the game soundtrack. AND Jesus your writing as went a long way but damn it getting better and better.
did i just heard a ghost say " dakka-dakka".... you doin it wrong, it's DAKKA DAKKA DAKKA DAKKA! lest you da red one cause red goes FASTA! HEY IF THERE ANY BOYZ HERE LET GIVED THEM A WARM..... WWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGHH!!!!
I love the way you used that Eric Andre bit to support your point about tone!
The “PAC-MAN Adventures” thing is interesting because in the Windows version, the game’s executable file is called “PMA_W32_M.exe” the PMA most likely standing for PAC-MAN Adventures, it seems Blitz games never even bothered to change the exe name when they were given the reigns to reshape it into a World game.
Such a great video as always, so refreshing to see old plateformers !
Hope one day you'll make a video about Psychonauts
Don't forget World Rally.
Something I think would add well to the maze segments are trigger traps, you step on a certain part of the level and a trap activates, killing or at least stunning any ghost that occupies its damage area- but it works in reverse, a ghost can trigger it on you too. That way, it still fits with keeping track of moving enemies and their position relative to you rather than the issue you reported before.
7:26 Hey. I love the combat in Sonic Unleashed.
yeah its very indepth and have a lot of combos and movement its only downfall is the lack enemy verity but other than that its very good
Bruh
Why are your videos so good nitro rad?!
They’re really well thought out have funny jokes and come out on a good schedule!
This is actually my favorite in the trilogy, but I also like fighting in games so the combat really didn't bother me.
dude that death gag was brilliant. at first I was like "what the hell" but you used it to make a point, well done.
im glad you watch eric andre
It kinda sad that I think pacman world 3 will probably never be remastered treatment like world 1 and no doubt world 2 will get. Unless of course the fans really want the whole trilogy together
I never played Pac-Man world 1 or 2 and played 3 growing up and I honestly wish it was kept as a separate series I would honestly would have love that series and just the continuation of it.
Yeah same here! I played world 3 but not 1 or 2!
@@yousefslimani99 man I wish they really did expand off word 3. I loved the combat and semi dark story to it
@@juliogonzalez324 Yep same thing I have to say here! Glad we have the same opinions of this game! I just can't hate this game I really grow up with this game as a kid and this game is vey nostalgia to me!
0:48 that's a nice looking rayman jacket.
“I beat bubsy 3D” I don’t think you should brag about that, it just tells people you did something you shouldn’t have done
Love this game. Never played the others but the music, art style and gameplay is all very nostalgic for me
Is Brady invincible?
I can't believe Sonic could chomp them ribbon pellets this whole time
12:12 PLOT TWIST + WOW NICE GRAPHICS
14:32 + Forgetting to hide the body
I really love that the ghosts are given the accents from the cartoon.
