I Try & Play: Action Man: Operation Extreme (PS1) - Part 3/3
58I remember the vehicles controls were bad in the previous video, in fact it was the first thing I noted under the video, but this time it has got to be even worse than before. The ski jet handling on the ice and water was so slippery, and the same goes for the "DSV".
The voice acting is as hilarious as ever before. The technician is probably the most hilarious. 0:01:29
I have to say though, that the last level was pretty decent, but that the bosses were pretty bad. I also noticed, all too apparently, that when the enemies didn't notice me, I couldn't shoot them.
The Technician boss fight was pretty bad. Just keep yourself away from his front, and you're safe. And the one place you can attack him just happens to be out of his sight too. How convenient! Professor Gangrene boss fight was just beating the same few enemies over and over and over and over. While Dr. X got into his mech, and this boss looked like it would be hard, once you figured out it's attack pattern and how to avoid all attacks along with when to attack it, the boss was easy, long and repetitive.
I also found it pretty strange that in the credits, the devs put up child photo of themselves... But there was at least one guy who had the wits about him to not have a child photo of himself attached to this game.
After finishing the game, I spent over 25 minutes on just going through the stuff in Action Man's apartment, showing off everything in it. You may notice that I miss 3 Action Points to get all 190 at 1:36:30 , that Ice base only had 27 Action Points. What a load of bullshit, because I got all 190 Action Points in the game, which you can see in the loading screen before the final boss at 1:06:35 . I know I got 30 Action Points in the last level. I was counting it, thinking there would be 40, so I would have 200, not 30. After the video recording I tried to hack the game so it would recognize that I had all 200 Action Points and see if I got some kind of reward for it, but this wasn't all that easy to do. I made it say 190/190, and 30/27, but this didn't make any difference. I may try to hack it some more and maybe release a video if it turns out to be some kind of reward. I think I might need to set some bits or bytes to 1 instead of 0, and not just set the total to 190 or 30, because it set the number in memory each time it loaded the screen, so it was definitely getting the amount from somewhere else. Most likely an array of boolean values. :P
EDIT: I was able to figure out where the powerpoints obtained was stored in memory. I changed it and I was able to make it say 190/190, even if the last level said 27/27. This is the way the game actually recognize I had all 190. Nothing happened.
I'm sorry about if the audio stutter a couple of times during the recording. I'm not sure why this happens. It's very rare though.
