    There is something that makes the Yu Ji battle even trippier: it’s a reversal from the source material. If you read through Sun Ce’s interaction/s with him in RotTK, it reads as something even weirder. Furthermore, Sun Ce’s death comes about because he had Yu Ji killed.

    I'll be honest, I'm amazed a major player in the reviewing community has also heard of No Straight Roads, as it's a pretty good game, especially for the first (and only as far as I'm aware) major title from an indie developer.
    Granted, indie devs with great games are fairly common depending on which you play, but this is from a company and a country that (and I mean this in the best way I can) I didn't expect to make something as good as NSR, Malaysia!
    Even for a game that shows off the power of what at first sounds like a generic genre (i.e. EDM), it manages to make each subgenre sound unique, and no two bosses have the same kind of music, design or stage. In short, my hat goes off to Metronomik, here's to a possible sequel!

      Agreed. Especially with a pathway by successfully balancing out edm and rock. Literally managing to get the needle to stay at a consistent 50/50, not dropping it throughout the boss battles. To hammer in the idea that although at opposing ends, when working together, in equal parts, something truly special can come about. I mean, let's be honest...rock n roll crossed with drum and bass? THAT SOUNDS LIKE THE MOST BADASS THING EVER.

    You don't NEED to change controller ports, actually. If you keep fighting Mantis without doing so, after the game explicitly tells you to switch ports, the game will assume you can't access Controller Port 2, and will ask you this via Codec Call. The game then tells you to destroy the heads of the statues in the boss room.

    To me, I love the Bravely Second example because of a tiny detail Josh actually got a little wrong about Providence. He doesn't attack you if you take too long selecting moves, it happens whenever he's "ready" to attack, and he interrupts whatever is going on to attack. (Including mid attack animation!)
    Mechanically, IIRC, he attacks on what's basically an invisible timer...which is eerily reminiscent of the classic ATB Final Fantasy systems. While the game itself is a turn-based speed style game like Pokemon or FF 1-3.
    It's almost like an inverse version of Psycho Mantis, where instead of you beating him by thinking outside of the rules of the game, the boss is attacking you via an entirely different system YOU can't control.

    • @mrreyes5004
      @mrreyes5004 4 роки тому +6

      Thing is, Kojima only did that because someone reminded him that some people might be playing it on an emulator (which, clearly, lacks controller ports). Metal Gear Solid in general is full of stuff like this; for example, near the beginning of the game, one of the characters flat-out tells the player to check the back of game case for a Codec frequency number that is 100% necessary to progress in the game (granted, there is another alternative for this as well, but the fourth-wall-breaking route is obviously preferred by all parties).

    One way they could have changed Barbas’ character for the better would be to give him multiple faces. So before the boss, we see different Anchors for the Raptor network.
    That way, the boss switches between different voices and faces the more damage Dante does.

    As the ruler of all demons, he's talked up more than a few times throughout the game. When you finally fight him, you'd expect a giant dragon or something like that. Instead, he's a three-headed monster (one human, reptile, and cat), with all three connected by long necks in a circle. You're not even really on a stage when you fight him, rather within the loop that is his body. It's the kind of form that could only belong to the demon that rules all others.

    So, the Character Yu ji actually has this sort of unconfirmed idea of how Sun Ce died.
    Yu ji, whose name is actually Gan ji, was a wandering taoist that roamed around the Jiang Dong region during the time Wu was under control of Sun Ce. Yu Ji was actually being praised as this powerful magician and healer, which, when Sun Ce heard of him, grew suspicious and had him executed on the reason that Yu ji was confusing the people of Wu of his talents. Yu ji's spirit was said to have returned and haunted Sun Ce as act of vengence, which caused Sun Ce to die of shock.
    The reason this story is, to some, considered false due to the lack of evidence holding weight to this. Yes, there are a few, if not, a couple of ancient texts talking Yu Ji and Sun Ce's death, but they tell different accounts on how Yu ji managed to kill Sun Ce. Some historians think that Yu ji would of been to old to have met Sun Ce and some of the tales depict Yu ji as less of a innocent person.

    Can’t really think of any of the top of my head where the whole battle is a mind fuck. Only ones that maybe come to mind are MGR Armstrong due to the tonal wipelash or that boss from Cyans drams in FF6 where you have to kill your own party members.

      He made a Top Five a couple years ago on his tumblr after he released Top Ten BEST Dynasty Warriors. To make it short:
      5: Yuan Shao for being a worse Zhang Jiao.
      4: Wang Yi for VENGEANCE VENGEANCE VENGEANCE VENGEANCE VENGEANCE VENGEANCE VENGEANCE
      3: Lianshi for being too fanservice-y and making him feel dirty when playing her, and having a crappy moveset.
      2: Jiang Wei for having an annoying voice and embodying everything wrong with the Shu kingdom's politics. If he had a bad moveset, he would be Number 1, but he doesn't.
      1: Chen Gong for having an annoying voice, a bad moveset and shady politics.

    *watches # 10* So in dynasty warriors 5 you get to do that yu ji boss fight and I kinda find it creepier and sadder to me. you're in a castle arena at night with only torches acting as your light.
    Dealing with the phantoms, you fight not only sun jian, but also your own soldiers and even da qiao his wife. Depending on which one you defeat you'll get a mini cutscene as they fall defeated before revealing it's a mind controlled soldier that was pretending to be them due to magic.
    According to the camp talk where you're given backstory on the battle or whats going on before you enter the stage, you find out Yu Ji entered Wu shortly after Sun Ce gets the foundations of wu situated and he's considered the little conqueror.
    He's lying and manipulating people in the background to mess with the army's moral before he decided to challenge sun ce 'one on one' to kill him. After the battle Sun ce falls ill and passes away, hinting that the magician yu ji cursed him.
    You can only get this stage by playing as sun ce, and he reveals that after the fight, he's not feeling right. If you play as da qiao, in her ending cutscene, it shows that despite winning the battles and him being alive, sun ce is still weak, and running on borrowed time.

    I would mention the Distortion World from Pokémon Platinum since it’s still the trippiest dungeon in the franchise. It has a phenomenal atmosphere with great music and gravity flipping mechanics and my favorite Pokémon from the generation, Giratina, offering a menacing presence while being unusually calm and lawfully orderly for the Pokémon god of chaos. However I am not going to hold it against you because the boss battles against Cyrus and Giratina are standard battles against static (I’ll be it atmospheric) backgrounds, and the strength puzzles are underwhelming. Also, I am holding out for the Sinnoh remakes to crank the atmosphere to 11, and possibly bring back inverse battles to take this to the biggest mindf*%^ in the franchise.

    The good thing about flowey is that he gradually becomes less and less intense throughout the fight, especially when the other 6 human souls rebel against him.

    Also, I think this is probably the first time you talked about Doki Doki Literature Club on this channel. Sure, Monika wasn't an entry, as the game doesn't even have boss fights, but it was still interesting to see her here.
    Lastly, there's still one thing that I'm waiting for: a boss fight that actually moved your joystick and buttons! Like on your actual physical controller! Now THAT would be a mind screw!

  • @ArthurMCross
    @ArthurMCross 4 роки тому +4

    Every final boss in Undertale has a key word attached to it which I really like: Asriel has your friends trapped and your action command is to SAVE them and Asriel from himself;
    Photoshop Flowey locks the game up and you're forced to face him, and even though you're alone on this you call for help and the trapped souls try to aid as much as possible but to finish him of you have to stand through the chaos and FIGHT! Fight your foe! Fight to survive! Fight to the end! And FIGHT for yourself;
    And Sans, if it isn't obvious after all you did, you are not fighting, you are KILLING, you did all that because wanted to (kind of wish the FIGHT command changed to KILL just to rub it in) Sans points this all throughout the fight and you get some dialogue of how sadistic you can be if you redo the fight after winning it. And you'll have to live with the consequences of all this if finish of Asgore.
    Damn I love this game.

  • @jvts8916
    @jvts8916 4 роки тому +2

    My personal favourite is the True final boss of Lenna's inception. I've avoided story spoilers. Since the game is a tribute to Zelda as well as game glitches, most of the bosses already tend to be out there, but the last one has you fight an old man unleashing fire barrages at you, then a link expy and after that a bunch of clones of your main character that attack with whatever items you have equipped. The only way to beat the clones is to remove all your items. Other highlights include having cut dialogue play with a heart meter that moves as if it were talking and right after that you have to dodge all the hearts. There's also the part where your playable character gets switched for the previously mentioned link expy and have to let yourself get killed by a dummied out boss. And THEN you start controlling that boss as the real final boss acts as if it were the playable character. Beating him has him choose continue, so the only way to advance is to lose the fight. Only then can you advance and land the "finishing blow" once you go back to normal.
