yeah, i think it even broader phenomenon. By asserting that your quality is to be 'smth smth compared to other product' you put a glass ceiling for yourself and instead of aiming to be the best 'you', you choose to be mediocre/slightly better 'else'. Trying to set a goal for yourself by comparing yourself to others feels like pre-admitting defeat and crippling yourself

This is a great pairing with the "What Happened?" on Advent Rising by Matt McMuscles. This goes into detail about the gameplay and the story, while the "What Happened?" focuses on the behind the scenes aspects. You get the whole picture, when you put 'em together.

After watching through this a second time, I would really love to hear from a developer. This game honestly feels like it wanted to lean more into the Mass Effect style of game - heavy plot, focusing on intriguing forces working from behind the scenes to steer the future of the galaxy, these weren't part of Halo until much later than 2. So I'm left wondering if there was heavy-handed managerial meddling going on. A sort of, "There's no way that will work! We want the HALO killer!" thing. Seems like they were trying to keep too many plates spinning at once, and, especially with that reveal at the end, the ones with Mister Chef on them were definitely the ones that should've been dropped.

Thanks for highlighting my patch! How awesome to see this pop up in my subscriptions. I talked with the cinematics director years ago, he said they had to push out most of the cutscenes within four months or so before launch. That's why many cutscenes are filmed with the basic Unreal camera using WASD and mouse movement and very poor framerates. Everything you think got cut in this game did. You can extract the audio and listen to prolonged conversations between characters that flesh it out a bit more. Fun fact, that golden pyramid that Gideon picks up was supposed to be a sword for the final fight.

The soundtrack still gives me the chills, the song that plays during the credits, 'Greater Lights' is SO GOOD. Few years back there was some official update to the renderer engine and I've seen the community get a bit hopeful about a possible sequel or remake but nothing came of it (and after the update, the game refuses to run on my system lol).

So I actually played through Advent Rising a month or two ago. First person mode is actually a godsend for quite of few shooting sections, and fixes a lot of the issues with the weird aiming controls. Is it cumbersome and janky to constantly be flipping between first person and the follow camera? Yes. But it is totally worth it to improve the gunplay. The added control over what you're shooting at actually gives the weapons a more varied feel. The only downside is that you'll probably find yourself doing fewer sick gunkata flips.

Honestly, since Advent Rising had huge hype machine behind it and disappeared, then mass effect happened, I thought Advent Rising turned into the Mass Effect project because me as a kid had strange ideas how things worked.

All it would have taken is a bioware designer really enjoying Advent Rising and talking about it non-stop to his buddies.

Honestly the idea of aliens revering humans like deities sounds like an interesting idea

These human character designs remind me of a mid 2000s MP3 player.

I've been waiting for another video from you, my good sir. It's been years since I heard of this game.

Wasn’t expecting the OST to sound so good

When I was in high-school, I played in the school band. One of our retinue was a collection of popular media music, like James Bond or such, and sure enough Advent Rising was actually on there more than a decade after its release. If a high-school band can reasonably play this music and have it be confused for a legitimate orchestra piece you know that you've struck gold with the soundtrack.

The only things I remember about this game as "rocks? They throw rocks?" the million dollars, and thinking this was all gonna end in a space jesus allegory cause of the final power you get

9:41 "Oh shit it's a human quick jojo pose"

Damn this brought back so many memories, I replayed it on PC thinking the flaws would stand out more to me but I loved it even more and have been wanting a sequel since my first play through as a child

I remember seeing this in an xbox magazine back in the day! It looked so cool. Thankfully I never saw it at the local rental shop so I didn't waste my money.

"Advent Rising" really is one the best examples of a videogame title that tries to be enigmatic and cool but is really just some nonsense words strung together. At least with Horizon: Zero Dawn there are plot elements that eventually explain what's going on with the title, "Advent Rising" is just two words that mean nothing without context and don't really relate to the plot either.

in older days i bought think it was some grandiose rpg like morrowind or semi open world like halo, little dissapointed especially took many spaces in HD for that time and find out around 80% just some type cutscene wmv video and core files itself just 1.3 gb but in my opinion character design n movement are cool as hell

"BABE WAKE UP, IT'S MANDY!" "I've been up for hours honey I'm not an animal."

Would honestly be curious to see this remade, whether that's just a major graphics overhaul with a bunch of fixes/updates or a whole new built from the ground up game that carries on the ideas of the original.

I actually have this game, because someone recommended it as a "funny in a bad way' kinda game. Cool to see a review of it, thanks Mandalore Gaming.

I mean, that seems to be par for the course for games marketed as [insert franchise] killers - they copy the game they're aiming to kill as much as possible because that's popular, but completely forget to include anything that might make people choose this game of the other. You can see that a lot with the era of "WoW killers" - all those games didn't really innovate on the formular or were sometimes just plain worse, so they all just died with a whimper. If you want to compete with a popular game, don't come out boasting your game will kill it - actually give people some good reasons to play your game.
