Looks like Helldiver 2 took allot of this gameplay, and refined it. Smart.

The railway Canon mission with red eye is so deep mechanics wise, even after Hours of gameplay i was still finding out that if the canon was straight you can use the crane to auto load, or the pumps to istantly turn it 90° and all the different amo types. Plus i noticed that on harder difficulties ai teamates are more competant, when your on the fireing seat they will run to get ammo and load the gun for you

this is the problem I sort of have with the game. there's lots of hidden mechanics that had people known about them, they would've stayed in spite of all the hit stop stuff. there's so many hidden features that make the game way smoother that had reviewers known about this game would've had way more success and I'm sure it would've been just as fun. for instance, you can negate grenade damage with a timed roll based on how many times the grenade flashes it's light. you can move quicker somehow with the grappling hook if you time it right or something like that, allowing you to skip the slow jump animation at the end of a grapple.

@@abointedtoyblingofmats yes, there are a lot of tip bits like that, like rolling constantly and sprinting are the same speed, and when you roll you take less damage over all and you don't get hit stop, making rolling to get out of enemy fire very advantageous, also, just in the fight with red eye, did you know that there is also a mini canon on the back that shoots heavy rocked luncher shells? also back there is a helicopter too, there are a lot of things to use and do, making the game very very replayable.

It's actually annoying how they do that, for me. The autoload ammunition, is actually a lot better than the ammo you find lying around. But they only load the ammo that can be found lying around. So i often play this with only one real friend. Or no friends at all, not even the AI allies. On hard. I like that boss, so much, that i make the difficulty harder, just to be able to fight it longer.

@@joster09 yeah, but those two don't really do much at all to the red eye, unless it's on easy difficulty. But i highly recommend playing it on hard. Maybe not extreme/insane, but hard difficulty makes the fight last longer, so the fun lasts longer.

The T-ENG does tick down, it's due to a couple of abilities you start with where you don't die from a lack of energy and it doesn't tick down energy. Also depending on the difficulty it does Regen you automatically, varying on the difficulty levels, easy it Regens a similar way to the first game, normal is, well, normal, hard is slow, and in extreme, which you access by beating hard, it doesn't Regen at all. Otherwise I like the video, well done, I'll be looking forward to future videos.

@@Tomkon agreed! Stuff like combining certain VSs into an even more powerful one, super attacks from the support weapons, stuff like that. The game may be easy but once you start using the unlocked weapons from the slot machines, specifically the energy ones, you'll run out of Thermal Energy, the only time I ever ran out of energy in my several hundred hours in game is when using the energy weapons on higher difficulties. Other than that it's really a non issue.

Oh wow this game is coming to games with gold in February with Xbox

I competed the game basically 100% on every difficulty and got every unlock ages ago. And I was actually looking into going back to try it Again simply to experience it all again atleast once. Im using the cool unlocks though because Shuriken/Buster grenades and The Gunsword SP are just to dope to pass on...

The biggest thing for me that kept me playing for months on end was the side grades to guns you unlock through that crate system. It might just be a shotgun that shoots confetti but it could be an energy shotgun that bounces. tired of disc grenades' what about shuriken's that pierce. Best part about it was they went between multiplayer pvp and the campaign. This made me want to go grind out some levels as they were extremely good for crate unlocks.

Ah, great and honest review of LP2. Stupidly fun game and easily one of my favorites! It has its problems, but still a blast with friends

it was on the steam sale because of the re 8 showcase, so i got it again and have been playing with my friends always thought, it needed 8 chapter not six and always thought you would have level with the snow pirate and femme fatales.. i do miss the multiplayer.

This video is so well done and really gave me big nostalgia while watching it !! Keep up the work man

just downloaded it one week ago on steam, i got so much nostalgia playing it again, this game is hella fun

I have so many fond memories of this game, its so impressive with all its content especially for the time, this video made me think back to it and i might try to get it working again even with all those technical issues we have to deal with today. Nice video, subbed.

Never played 1 or 3 and never will dispite my love for this game glad people still like this game

Just want to correct that GFWL is still fully functional in 2021, and will probably still be for a very long time since it seems it's linked to Win 10 gaming features. I've just completed the campaign with a friend using it, and we even had random joining us from time to time.

4:55 A passive causes that, by default you have one that prevents energy drain and one that prevents health loss when at 0 energy equipped, but the first one is a VERY powerful passive if paired with the first VS buff passive, since it makes Piloting a VS practically free, and only the really high-tech ones like the Triseed or Hardballer will have any sort of passive Energy drain, and even then you gain way more Energy then you will be losing (in the Triseed and actively changing modes, swinging melee and firing torpedos I lost maybe 1-3 energy passively over 15 seconds and around 12 from the abilities since everything only costs 1 energy with that perk setup for some reason), and it even lets you use energy weapons on a VS with almost no downside, since your only spending the energy for the weapon in reality. The perk system has crazy power and potential for something as easy to use as a colouring book, could have used a bit more variety in perk choices, but it works very well, the game is also appares to still playable online if your on Xbox at least.

One of the most criminally underrated games of all time.

The reason why I found this game is because I saw image of male Rathalos Armor as DLC for LP2 I bought the game and finish it with extreme difficulty with 100% gear unlock, on of the best TPS game I played Such an underated game ;-;

Very nice review. Good job.

I love underrated games like this one, other games too like dragons dogma

What is lost planet 2 in my mind Monster Hunter but with Guns n Mecha the ultimate combo of fun

Man I remember playing this when I was so small, amazing game from what I remember too.

it has been a very very long time since I played this game..but I remember enjoying it quite much. the story was super strange though, like how you mentioned "blank slate" characters

i loved customizing the characters and what weapon you'd find on the ground

It's largely the same with some additions to make it less tiresome. It's just how Capcom makes their games I swear

lost planet 2 had so much to it's favor at the time, not innovative by any means, but to have so many features in 2009? character customization, full coop, emotes, good gameplay, a surprisingly deep but simple inventory system, big monsters, cover shooter, many different environments, big ass mechasuits, big ass weapons to go with them that you can use on foot, and most important of all, it gives you that feeling of being a bad ass, even when you are just a dude with almost the same capabilities of every other enemy. it also is one of the best examples of external sandbox mixed with internal sandbox out there.

The vagabundos are some of my favorite missions just for the comedy relief

Can I ask you how were you able to play this game on a modern PC? People say it's very difficult to make it run.

It is more difficult than it should be, but it's definitely not impossible! You'll have to download and install the Games for Windows Live program separately to get it to work. You can find and download this through google searching, but since the service has been discontinued for several years it can react strangely and cause the problems you've probably heard about. There's a good guide explaining all the steps and potential problems here (I used this guide to get it working for me): steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1277648786 I hope this helps! If you buy from Steam and can't get these fixes working, remember you can request a refund within two weeks of purchase and as long as you haven't had the game running for longer than two hours.

Realise I'm posting on a vid that's been out over a year, but honestly I absolutely adored this game when it came out and it was one of the few I legitimately 100% completed. Tried to get back into it recently on pc but really miss having the gunsword unlocked. I can kinda see why they limited character customisation on the first playthrough but it really was one of the best parts of this game. The more serious cutscenes turn ridiculous when the cast of stock humourless special agents has been replaced by an obese man wearing a lego head, a walking talking data post, an insect man with a gun that shoots hearts, and Frank West carrying his teddybear.

I played the whole game in solo due to how I got the game back then, and it is fking fun, still one of my favorite fun arcade shooter game

I absolutley love this game I have so many good memories.

So.....I have decided to replay the Lost Planet 2 and just beat it today.......and.....well....its a bit better then last time, but there are some issues. For one thing I manage to playthrough most of the Levels without any issues, there were some setbacks (more on that in a bit), but even then, I was able to breeze though the levels. There was also the part where I had a much easier time beating the Red Eye boss from Episode 3, I mean yeah, the level preceding it was a pain, but it was far more manageable. Speaking of which, I also found most the bosses far more manageable, the fact that I found out about the dodge button and that some of the bosses can be cheesed does help out, but I at least know the attack patter. I manage to fine a way to enjoy some of the levels as well, make sure you have NPCs with you as they ca help out of the enemies, I mean it's not perfect (more on that in a bit), but having them with me agents the enemies make the different. On the subject of the bosses, I also found the bosses to be more enjoyable as well, sure they are a bit.......damage sponges, but I found all of them to be fun, with my favorite being the Queen and the Cat G. Despite all of that however.....I still have some cons with this game, the A.I Companions can still dilly dally, Episode 3 levels was annoying, the last two bosses are still a massive pain in the ass and some of the enemy A.I. are just as poorly annoying and bullshit as they are the first time I fought, and no matter how much I restart that level, they always (and I mean ALWAYS) find ways to cheap me. So yeah, while a much better experience then the last time I played it, I can safely say that Lost Planet 2 is a mix-bag game for me and I'm gonna say it, while I will say that did have a good time with it and would play tis overt Day's Gone by a LARGE margin .....I think I'm probably going to be sticking with the Metroid Prime/Halo series.

You can actually grab T-eng with your grappling hook in this game

the thermal energy being depleted over time wasn't dropped its part of the perk system they added to the character customization.

I've only just realised lost planet is monster hunter in space

COLONIES AND LOST PLANET 1 WAS MY FAV

There’s one detail I think u missed, it that at episode 6, 4th part, the vagabondo side, when you shoot the laser cannon, once you get back to your original character, the cannon follows where you aimed so that’s a good detail not much games even have

Unfortunately i cant play co op cause no one plays on ps3 anymore

If at least it got a small upgrade I would resume to it. Replay it. It's an underrated game. The reason why I don't play it is because it crashes. Lost planet franchise needs a boost. Except the 3rd one I didn't like the 3rd one much.

Video games today don't have the balls to do anything as fun is this game did. Just everything to do with the rail gun, from the acrid X set piece, to the train hijack, killing the red eye, or the wall buster set piece. We need to go back to games being designed around fun over realistic (and capcom needs to make something other than a remake, its been 5 years)

i would love to play it but capcom has just been sitting on their ass and wont fix it for steam so I don't know where to get it and be able to play multiplayer.

Over LP1!?

i really despise fucking metacritic for give this game a low score,like jesus they got Capcom to just out source lp3 to some third grade studio all cause people give a shit what review sites think

I really hate that games for windows lives ruins the PC experience for that game on pc.

Wait, what? Did you happen to pay attention to the media and message boards when this game came out? It wasn't praised at all. In fact your probably one of the few people I've ever heard saying it was a good game, much less, the best of the series. There's a reason they ditched the most important and defining aspect of this game, the online coop. If you liked it, that's wonderful, but most didn't. Lost Planet fans hated it the most for trying to take their beloved series and turning it into just another online multi-player cash grab. Capcom tried to right the ship with the 3rd one but it was really too late. All the fans of this series had moved on. This game is what killed the series and the fans and gaming sites were very vocal about it.
