Title: Index of Treasures?
Post by: Halo364 on December 09, 2008, 03:33:25 am
Yeah, so I was thinking it might be helpful to some people to make a video archive of all the special treasures in the game. This would probably include costumes and pets, and maybe memories if I feel ambitious enough. However, this would be a major undertaking, so I would like to know if it would be useful at all, or if it would just spoil the fun of finding these things on your own?

I think the written description is enough - making such a series of videos almost always ends up in the maker giving up halfway through (as in the Let's Play Aquaria (http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=let%27s+play+aquaria&search_type=&aq=f) series). The maker stopped at the Kelp Forest.

The game is just too big and involved :o And besides if that was done then a lot of people would just follow that to the letter and miss the best part. Exploring and discovery :D

I'd love videos of the Veil (normal and icy) treasures, at the very least. I can stare at the maps all day, I still don't know how to get the cake at the top left of the veil (it's the first page of the PDF maps file). Even when I know TECHNICALLY what I need to do, seeing someone else run it would be fun.

It would spoil the fun, as that's a major appeal of the game, exploring. It'd be better to just do a full let's play, as that will also appeal to people that have never/will never play the game. But it's true many Let's Play's lose steam part way through and never get finished.

Ok. Maybe after I finish this playthrough I will go back and do it again, but all on video...

Heh heh. Good luck. ;)

I dunno, normally I think its bad to go and watch someone else do everything and run the whole story/puzzle aspect of a game, but if someone is really stuck then its nice for there to be something they can do about it...

I think it would be nothing more than a novelty, at best. The payoff would not be worth the effort.

I found the video of the OP battle useful to a degree, but even then I didn't get it fully so they are not infallable. Oh I understood the moves but seeing it didn't tell me that he only stuck his tongue out when Naija is near his mouth, (though it should of I supose?) I can't rember who told me but I felt just slightly embarased by that lol

Nunix which veil is that, the Ice or the other?

That one way to get a bit of videos on your account.
