Sorry, bad wording. I meant if you missed a gem and did all the blind jumps back to where you started, your reward for all that was to fight Cortex.L4Y Duke said:Actually, if you got all the gems, you bypassed Cortex and got the good ending, if I recall correctly.fix-the-spade said:Getting the good ending meant getting all the gems, ALL the gems. Then jumping from gem to gem over a death pit to get to the end. What happens if you missed a gem?
There's a gap in the line that you can't jump over, so you have to jump backwards BLIND back the way you came.
Should you survive this, your reward? You have to fight Cortex, one of the hardest bosses ever, did I mention that one hit from anything kills you and tree are NO masks.
Agreed, I'm trying to do the darned thing today. Got incredibly mad when I discovered that saving, then loading didn't put you at the same spot but at the beginning of the level.GothmogII said:The circus of meat level in Pyschonauts. Especially that damned trapeze section.
Ah, Mischief Makers! I wasn't necessarily angry (I worry about my companions by looking at the content of this thread) at the game, but I do distinctly remember the final battle lasting for an age, its background colours almost giving me an epileptic fit. Banjo Kazooie is also guilty of this in its bloody eternal end battle.Isaac Dodgson said:The maddest I've ever been is hard to pinpoint, though I know the maddest my grandfather has ever been.
My late grandfather got me into gaming, and would explain my half obsession with the Zelda franchise. We played the games together, exchanged pointers, discussed the puzzles. Granted I was only seven when we started doing this right up till the end (I was fourteen when he passed away), I was still hooked, and my favorite genre are still platformers, particularly story rich, puzzle solving ones.
But I digress. When I was ten, my grandfather picked up a little game called Mischief Makers for his N64 whose main character, Ultra-Intergalactic-Cybot G Marina Liteyears (Why I remember that is both beyond me and rather sad I'm sure) is tasked in finding her beloved creator, Professor Theo who has been kidnapped by the Empire for lord only knows why, and rescuing the absent minded old man.
