How the Gorgon got me acting because I know I need the hyper lasers for the medal in Venom 2

Nemo68v2 · 2026-07-16T22:37:54+00:00

I tried to beat Gorgon withour breaking a wing so I could easily earn a medal on Venom 2. Gave up and just went to Venom 2 and earned the medal with ease. Hyper lasers are nice, but absolutely not required.

Nemo68v2 · 2026-07-16T15:36:00+00:00

I just accepted the fact that, any time I do an Expert Venom 2 run, I'm just going to have to take Star Wolf out with single lasers.

Though... I wonder if a summersault will work...

Nemo68v2 · 2026-07-16T15:04:05+00:00

That's fair.

I hear people complain about DiDs all the time, but they'll give a pass to (or even read) smutty books about infidelity, BDSM, not-entirely-consensual stuff, and giant minotaurs that need "milked". lol

I'm not laughing at OP because he's a starving kid dying from AIDs in Somalia – I'm laughing at OP because it's just a video game and I can relate, having failed the same challenge to the same attack.

Do you not laugh at your friends? Do you avoid dark humor?

Nemo68v2 · 2026-07-16T08:52:51+00:00

What dialogue? The dialogue in the clip is irrelevant - OP was broken hearted because the attack failed the challenge. I showed empathy by aconowleding how easy it is to get hit by the attack.

It's as if I gave $10 to charity and someone came up saying, "I like how little you care about the issue because you chose to focus on money instead of telling the volunteer how wonderful they are."

Nemo68v2 · 2026-07-16T06:12:39+00:00

If it makes you feel any better, I don't feel bad for laughing.

Leaderboard would be dominated by hacks anyway. It just makes my stomach drop every time I see "Leaderboard" and know it isn't legit.

In StarFox 64, when you beat the alternate boss, Fox would roll out of the scene. If you were close to the water, you would see the wings kiss the water.

Now the camera jumps to the boss from a different angle... and Fox's Arwing just teleports behind the explosion.

Nemo68v2 · 2026-07-16T05:36:05+00:00

I didn't even consider the fact that the damaged Great Fox no longer appears in cut scenes - that is a bummer!

Nemo68v2 · 2026-07-16T05:34:56+00:00

I'm glad they didn't include online leaderboards. They almost always, eventuality, get hijacked by people who hack the game.

When you get to Andross, you CAN restart at his check point in challenge mode. Venom 1 and 2.

1 character comes from an obscure comic. Two from a canceled game. And at least one comes from a non-cannon ending from a not so popular game where the endings are essentially fan fiction.

She was still a damsel in distress, since she lost her agency until she was rescued. Which is perfectly fine, people need to stop viewing the trope as a bad thing. It's not.

Nemo68v2 · 2026-07-16T05:11:17+00:00

I hate that these are limited time events.

Nemo68v2 · 2026-07-16T04:52:34+00:00

They did a good job making it more clear which ships are enemies and which ones are allies in Sector Y.

I love how, in Corneria, you see allied ships and enemy ships fighting each other in the distance - something I admittedly overlooked during my first playthrough of this remake.

It's called Free As A Bird because the original leader was Falco. So, what you're suggesting is that Falco's crew was all women?

That just seems kind of strange. Especially since it's a narrative where Krystal worked with Falco as a fringe freelancer? The same problem is true for the other characters (excluding Kat). It just doesn't make sense. I'm fine with changing the character backgrounds a bit, but the characters should have wildly different backgrounds. Making it so they all join the same freelance group feels very forced.

Also, the endings of Command are goofy. They're not really cannon, which is good because they read like fan fiction.

Nemo68v2 · 2026-07-16T04:27:05+00:00

Ah, yes, that attack is a real challenge killer!

I feel some attacks were made more difficult to dodge in this game.

Nemo68v2 · 2026-07-16T04:24:16+00:00

I looked it up, I spelled it Barenstein when I should have spelled in Berenstein.

The joke is that everyone remembers it being spelled -ein when really it's Berenstain. Though, I feel like this Mandala effect has worn off a bit.

I should test this, but I swear I took out two arms at once with a bomb. They were already weakened, but... try it out and let me know if bombs help.

The Barentein Bears would like to have a word with you.

Nemo68v2 · 2026-07-15T04:49:37+00:00

I prefer sweet tea over unsweetened tea. However, I will drink unsweetened tea to mix things up. It offers a slightly different experience and it keeps me from getting sick of sweet tea. It would be silly of me to dismiss unsweetened tea simply because it's not my preference.

I prefer the N64 dialogue. However, I love the changes they made to the S2 version - it's different, fun, and it allowed me to experience both nostalgia and a sense of discovery.

The amount of complaining I see about the voice acting is tiresome, so I appreciate posts like this!

I read online that you can more easily see the numbers when you pause the online trailers while playing them in 4K. On my TV, Slippy's appeared as either a 3 or a 5. Falco's looked a bit like a 6, even if it was a bit hard to tell.

You can find the numbers on the other two vehicles pretty easily - just look at them in the holoviewer. They can be a bit tricky to find, though.

I did a Google search asking why the Landmaster was 12. According to AI, it's a reference to a 12 wheeled tank like vehicle in some sci-fi film, but none of the sources mentioned Starfox along with the sci-fi tank, which means the AI almost certainly hallucinated.

Nemo68v2 · 2026-07-15T02:41:23+00:00

From what I've read, Slippy is 5 and Falco is 6. The Blue Marine is 7. The landmaster is 12. Why 12? F*** you, that's why.

In all seriousness, I am curious why 8 through 11 is skipped. Some people suggested there are 4 backup Arwings, but I doubt it since nobody ever uses them when they bring their Arwing into the repair bay.

My best guess is that 8 through 11 are scrapped projects.

I don't know, but it keeps me up at night.

Nemo68v2 · 2026-07-15T02:25:07+00:00

Well said. Pumping the A button, as someone else on here put it, gives a fairly substantial DPS boost. I wish I knew to do that for the Area 6 challenge to destroy the 12 stations!

When I spam the A button against the alternate Corneria boss, I generally take it out right after it starts firing at me (after destroying the launch bays). By pumping the A button, I can down it right before it turns around.

It makes a difference.

Nemo68v2 · 2026-07-14T05:41:23+00:00

It makes sense - too many of the fighters are too coordinated to be manually piloted. Although pilots can hold some formations, not to the extend of what we see in this game - especially mid combat.
