Lyrics:
Woah, what? Excuse me, I didn't believe I was playing Tetris! So apparently, if you push the A button, Nightshade disappears and transforms into a--, a blinking square. Yeah. I suppose what we have here is some sort of point-and-click adventure game hybrid. To interact with the environment, you move the cursor around and click on stuff.
Now herein lies the problem with Nightshade. The A button is used to examine things and the B button is used to operate things, but you come up to this crowbar and you're like, "Alright, it's time to pick it up, just gonna, you know, fucking--, Oh! "Nothing unusual here"? What about the fucking snake-ass crowbar? It's--, Obviously, it's different from the bricks."
Nightshade's hard to impress. You take him to a history museum and you're like, "Look at that giant bronze horse from the early BCE times", and he's like, "Eh, nothing unusual here". You take him to the future history museum and you're like, "Hey, look at that giant hologram horse from the distant C.I. Tie--, C.E. Times", and he's like "Nightshade can't do that".
So, I'm pretty sure you're supposed to pick this up, but A don't do it, and B don't do it, so what do it? This controller only got two-it. Them buttons.
So, get this. You gotta walk over to it just in the right spot, push select to bring up your menu, mosey on over to the Pick Up icon, move the reticule over to the crowbar, and then Nightshade decides "Woah, that suddenly looks pretty unusual, I'm gonna bend down to pick it up." Oh, boy. Now it doesn't sound like that big of a deal now, but this shit gets so convoluted. It's like, "What are all these menu options? I just wanna play the game! What is this, system settings?". By the way, watch out, that button doesn't quit the menu, it quits the game. I learned that the hard way, and it doesn't even go "Are you sure?", it's just like,
So like, you go up to this statue and examine it, right? And it's like, "The statue has keyhole". Well ain't that just a pickled peach. I picked one up in the other room. Well, let's use it on the statue so we can advance. Uh, so I push A, scroll over the key. Hm. Nothing. Of course. What you actually have to do is hit select, go to use, select the key, move the reticle over the item of interest, and then push A. THAT'S how you do it. And you just keep fucking up and going back and getting lost in all these menus! Not to mention, on top of the stress of navigating the menus, sometimes there's even a time constraint. H-how am I supposed to do that? How am I supposed to do that?!
It's hard not to get flustered what you're just sitting there going "uh, I juh- I just want to open this. I just uh– How? HOW DO I OPEN THIS FUCKIN' THING?!". SHIET! I get what this game I going for, I really do. It's trying to be a point-and-click adventure game like King's Quest or Monkey Island. But in THOSE games, you have a whole keyboard and mouse. Here, you have a D-pad, 4 buttons and a disaporating protagonist. Hey, it's called a point-and click. Not slow, scroll over there. Go-going in the menu. Keep going. Keep going.
Ah, but that's okay, I-I can forgive it-WOAH! Look at that cop. Look at that old timey cop. Look at him just tip-tapping around. Happier than a mongoose on snake Saturday. Hello there fine sir-woah! I wasn't expecting that.
Ho ho ho, this game went from check minus to check plus. Oh, if it's a fight you want, it's a fight you'll get! Come here. Come here. I'ma getcha. I'ma getcha.
Oh, hey look, I'm popular now! Okay.
So, I guess there's nothing in this room then, except from that cop. I'm going around trying everything, nothing's happening. These curtains look important. Nah, Nightshade likes it to be night. In the shade. Doesn't want to acknowledge curtains-uh, fuck, cut that, just cut that whol–
So now, as always, we come upon the age old point-and-click adventure game adage of having to try everything with everything. You on you. And occasionally trying you with you. On you. It didn't work.
Let's try using the crowbar on this Anubis for a second.
I'm sorry what? "Congratulations you've just won the 'Jef and Paul award for excellence in shopping centers'." "Actually the crowbar snaps in two."
"Just kidding."
Fool me once - I'm mad. Fool me twice - How could you? Fool me three times - You're officially that guy, okay? You know him, you know the one. You go to the bar and he's like, "This suit is, uh, officially it's a Giorgio Armani, ECH my dad knows him-" FUCK YOU!.. I AAAAAAAAAAIIIIIN'T HAVIN' THAT SHIT!
