Hendo Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Triple Post FTW. I finally did it and I'm so chuffed! I had to consult a guide in the end for the last boss, as there was one technique I was missing and because of it I was losing so many health points. I've now saved again and I can continue my adventure - therefore you don't have to spend time trying to do everything on your first run through. Needless to say I'm in a bit of a pickle of whether I should carry on or spend the time on finishing off other games instead. Whatever the outcome, it's been an absolute blast and it will go down as one of my top ten games ever made. As I said, when you're about to go through the Thousand Year Door, make sure you've stocked up on items and you've levelled up enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retroed Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Well done Hendo! I haven't gotten round to playing it anymore since I last posted, but I'm really looking forward to getting back to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stu Posted June 16, 2007 Author Share Posted June 16, 2007 This game is getting better and better with ever passing moment of time with it. Just finished chapter 4, and whilst theres a bit of back tracking which would get on my nerves normally, with this game it doesn't matter, cos it's such a fucking joy!!!! So many moments I hope I don't forget already, listening the crows gossip is a highlight right now, genius. This is in danger of becoming the best game I've ever played.

For the poison move, there's a badge you can equip that helps you stop getting poisoned. Can't remember what it's called, but you might have it. EDIT Ah bugger you have killed it - you have to go across the water, up the tower and put the crystals in the thingy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stu Posted June 17, 2007 Author Share Posted June 17, 2007 chapter 5 done and dusted! latest memorable moments include the bowser bit, the sea bit and the bomb man!!! hehe, no spoilers, but you'll all see when you meet these moments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stu Posted June 18, 2007 Author Share Posted June 18, 2007 Chapter 6 all done now! Memorable moments include the train journey and the detective, oh boy the detective! And the chef!!!! So many wonderful charecters, I've now clocked up 43 hours of game time. I must admit though I'm doing ALL the troubles between each chapter and going to do loads of side quests and piss about in the arcade. I never want this to end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendo Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 Now you can maybe understand why I just stopped - I wanted it to stay in a permanent state of gameplay (although it doesn't make sense that I literally put it down for good.....). The train journey is indeed one of the highlights. You can't be far from the end now, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stu Posted June 27, 2007 Author Share Posted June 27, 2007 Completed this at the weekend. It has the greatest ending to a game I've ever seen, around 20 minutes of perfection! The last chapter had some awesome highlights such as the theme music (you'll have to play it to find out what it is) and Bowsers entrnace. Also the mid way point in the final battle is one of the best things I've experience in an RPG. This is simply the best game on the Gamecube that I've played, and easily ranks above the likes of GTA:SA and SotC as the best game of that generation. Which is odd, as that's usually a place reserved for Zelda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm so glad I picked it back up as I can't believe this was just gonna sit on my shelf gathering dust and I wouldn't have experienced the whole thing. Unlike a lot of other endings (Hotel Dusk I'm looking at you) at no point do you feel bored waiting for it to be done. It's just glorious to take it all in. After I finished I carried on and did a bit more, but I can't be bothered doing all the tasks, so I've saved my game right by the door and then I can go through the Pit of 100 Trials again and see if I can finish them.

aidanon Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Totally agree with all the comments, I got this game as soon as it came out and it was just a joy to play from start to finish. You never really got stuck but it was challenging, just a perfect game. Playing through Paper Mario 64 on the VC now, very impressed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
