Worst Levels Ever # 7

  • Опубликовано: 1 окт 2024
  • Unfortunately, although there are lots of fantastic levels and stages in video games, there are also a fair few awful ones. This time, we take a look at my most hated mission from the Advance Wars series.
    I will more likely pick bad levels from games that I otherwise enjoy. These are the ones that stick out the most and can bring good games down.
    Please no suggestions/requests for any possible future episodes. There are two reasons why I ask this:
    1. This video is all a matter of opinion. What might be my least favourite level of all time might be your most loved and vice versa. I'm hardly going to want to bash a level I love, am I?
    2. I'm tired of getting requests or suggestions, and in this case, there's an especially large pool of choices, because just about every game ever has stages, levels and maps.

      Should be possible to win via rout yes, the challenge isn’t so much defeating Kanbei’s units as it is stopping him from getting the fifteenth cap, since with no airport and one useless base in the middle of nowhere there isn’t too much he can do to replace units you destroy. In fact, if you can stop Kanbei from winning on day 6 and manage to shoot all his transport copters and infantry on that island, kanbei will never be able to win since he won’t be able to get a unit onto the island to make the winning cap, giving you all the time you need to spam bombers and decimate his forces if you do desire

      Yes, but that occurred ONLY in Gen 1 games. Still, not only Gen 1 NPCs' AI was pretty subpar in comparison to other Gens, but also almost every of them (everyone other than a few major Trainers) had Pokémon knowing only level-up movesets, which were mostly atrocious. So infinite PP matters little in this case.

    You know, I was thinking.
    What if capturing Kanbei's base is actually a viable strat for this mission?
    Since his base counts in the 15 captured buildings, if you get the base, he would probably need to go to your half of the map for a final capture.
    Now, you can lure his units in and deal with them more easily while staying nearer to your safe zones.
    Of course this is not the best strat, but I think it's viable if you want to go super ironic and be like "LMAO Sami I won by capturing the base, how about that?! HAHAHAHAHA 🤪"

      @ Varcon Oh, you wanna do this? Lol okay. Just because they're both will-future, doesn't mean they're "the same thing". "Punished" goes with "be" if you want to use the passive voice, just like any other verb. If someone will punish Andy, he "will be punished" is correct and he "will become punished" is a very bizarre, uncommon and in this case most likely wrong way of saying what Minrod Vils was trying to say. Passive is constructed with "be", not "become". He will become an astronaut, for example. "Become" is used for a change in state of some sort, not for a change from active to passive voice.

    • @varcon6787
      @varcon6787 6 лет назад +2

      well sir, will become punished is a mode of saying ''he will BE punished'' but in a more primitive way
      look at this
      Become is more likely to BECOME, BE would only change his mode of saying, a ex is mages wich sometime says something like ''you will become a frog'' whenever they use a spell
      Andy will become punished, more like used for his status *after* Chapter 21: Rivals!
      BECOME would be more likely turning something,getting something (ex: he will become good later) it can be used to indicate the status of some person,later or before
      now see
      Andy will Become/Be punished, like you said, is a very bizzare thing to say itself but it doenst stop of being used as a word itself in verbs and normal speeching with other people,usually saying that would be a case of misunderstanding, people actually understand what they understand, you cant really sure know if someone is fluent in english for correcting them
      correcting him wont give him better grammar or make him learn everything,correcting is not really needed in a social site like youtube

      Teh Apeman Advanced Wars is sorta like "Super simple mode" Fire Emblem. It takes out most of the advanced gameplay (No RPG stats, no elemental RPS, just units with Strengths and weaknesses versus each other).
      The Game starts out slow, with simple tutorials, but once you get into it, it doesn't hold your hand anymore. I think it's around Mission 5 in game one, and Mission 4 in AW2. Later on, you start getting more advanced units and the game gets much tougher.

    Intelligent Systems were a bit unintelligent when making this level...

      They were even worse with Rivals AC.

      When you expect a STRATEGY game player to have their formation look like male genitilia even when that disregards the concept of flanking, you are asking for bad jokes.

    Oh god, this mission isnt even fun kind of difficult it is cheap and if you dont do it EXACTLY how the devs planned then it is impossible! Should be called players error because of the amount of mistakes you will make before you finally figure out how to do it, and by figure out i do of course mean look up a guide online!

      Personally i think there was a lack of QA on this level on hard. they just added more units and fog of war and called it a day.
