Gameover, heh.
I'm just a bit after that part, um, is the health and power display supposed to be gone? How do I get it back?

Think about what happened, and think about how Derrick is now. Yeah, it's supposed to be gone and no, it's never coming back. The only way to check them from there on out is to pause.Quote:

You jerks are really making me want to try this game again. Knock it off.
Damn dude. This sucks ass. I'll try and use grenades again, but this like sucks my left ... you know.
BUt no matter what ... THIS GAME IS LOADS OF FUN AND IS AN AWESOME GAME ... for a developer trying this the first time.
I don't get it. I've listened to all the tapes, btw. What does it being just memory have to do with an on-screen indicator? If it's just some way of the developers to differentiate between a memory and the reality, I think it's kinda lame. Was there something special about the indicator that I missed?Quote:

When you emerge everything from there on out is "real" and so the on-screen indicators (which were part of the training sequence) aren't needed since you're in an "actual" body.
By training sequence, do you mean it's sort of a training sequence in the sense it's a flashback, or do you mean the scientists meant for it to be a training sequence for him? If it's the latter, then I guess you could imagine they put up some bars to help him out, though I must have missed that part if they actually said it. It's a neat little trick, I guess, and while having no screen clutter is nice I'd prefer to keep it so I know if I can pick up something or whatever. Now I guess I have to run over everything mashing the X button, yay!
I've gotten to a part that looks pretty tough, where you have to take on 4 black T'lans after you climb up. Is there any moves I'm missing, because the game didn't even bother to tell me hitting down plus L and R results in a nifty throw move. I know the lunge kick, the fireballs, and the wave technique (and the basic combos, of course).
Both.Quote:

OK, I finally beat the game and saw both endings. Wow, what a game! I can honestly say this is one of my favorite games ever. Mech, thanks for mentioning that you only have to kill the three big guys at that one part. There's no telling how much time I would have wasted there if I hadn't known that. For anyone having trouble with that part, try using the flying kick against the big guys. It works wonders. I'm confused about the story though. The first part of the game was a training sequence that took place in the machine the lady scientist built right? Then Derrick wakes up and everything is really happening. Are Derrick and Alex from the future? I don't really get it.
Word. :DQuote:

- *They begin the alpha project
*Ten subjects are created, of which only one of them lives - number 7, Derrick Cole
*Because of the procedures and drugs Derrick gets amnesia
*Alex arrives from the future and helps Derrick
*First part of game
*Derrick loses, Alex dies, Project No Return is activated
*Because of Solus, the Nexus, and the nuclear blast a hole in the space/time continuum is created and Derrick is shot forward through time, as a complete amnesiac (again) and weakened completely
*Alex is born after the destruction of the world and before Derrick arrives in the future
*Derrick is found by the scientists who use the memory machine to allow him to relive past events, both jogging his memory and allowing him to tap back into his powers
*Derrick meets Alex from her present, his future
*Derrick is powered up by Ogawa but the Pendulum Effect sucks him back in time, Alex jumps in with him to go back and help change the past
*They lose their grip with each other, Derrick returns to when Alex is kidnapped, Alex goes back to the beginning of the game when she first meets him
*Derrick rescues her, kills Solus, destroys the Nexus
*Alex returns to the future through the Pendulum Effect (since she's from the future) and Derrick joins her to save that world as well
I think that's all right.
