I mean, she couldn't even dive into the pit, the literal ONLY time a water breathing mask would've been really useful. Although I'm also just assuming here based off the fact that Hahli was unable to stand the pit's water for too long.
Listen, having never seen a single one of your videos before, the rating of Hordika minifig to Kardas Dragon, and this game's rating being Thok is nonsensical, and yet, completely justifiable and agreeable. How do you do it?
I guess the point is that the Toa Code forbids them from killing, so solely relying on melee weapons is out of the question. With elemental powers you have a lot more non-lethal options like trapping, knocking out and so on. The weapons act more like wands and traversal tools. I wonder how the combat system will look like in the end. Personally I think an ideal combat system for a Bionicle game is simply not possible with current common technology as you'd need an advanced physics engine including things like thermo dynamics, aero dynamics, polygon fragmentation/fusion and fluid dynamics among other things like free-form elemental control that isn't limited to a few "spells" in one package. The result would be a physics system were every fight is more about creativity and real-time puzzle solving/strategizing rather than hit-dodge-block scenarios. Would be one hell of a USP, but also hellish to develop.
@@scottjs5207 Krataa and Krana do not count as sentient life at least in their world and as such it doesn't count as killing in their world, for how stupid that may be. (Rahi are a grey area too apparently because reasons) The bodies of Rahkshi and Bohrok alone are only suits of exo-armour for the above mentioned species. So only tearing that suit apart is like smashing a car. Toa at least do not kill by intention and the counter evidence of Bohrok, Rahkshi and possibly Rahi is due to faulty education by their culture according to our standards. If it was proven in-universe that it was still murder the Toa would collectively face an existencial crysis since they never wanted to commit murder and would subsequentially refrain from killing the species you pointed out (unless they snapped and went serial killer).
I found this out for myself recently so I’ll share here: there’s a Matoran somewhere in Ko-Koro who, if you bring certain materials to him, will build you a radar to point to any masks you’re missing. It’s how I got the last few Kakamas I was missing
Loved the video! You presented some good ideas in there i liked the minimap task tracker idea. Unfortunately we're only doing bug fixes in Legacy, but i could deffinately see that as something we could include in 2.0
Please be wrong please be wrong please be wrong please be wrong please be wrong... (Not that I'm trying to shit on this game, I just want more good Bionicle games)
We’ve got masks of power legacy, 2.0, canon contests, and Quest for mata nui coming up. I think these represent the beginning of a renaissance for bionicle fan content.
That's the great thing about Bionicle, you can both ironically and unironically love it at the same time. Like sure, we joke about showing a girl your bonkle collection being an instant panty dropper, but is a really a joke if it works?
There is another bionicle game you should look into if you haven't already. Quest of Mata Nui is a fan game that is like a Mona lisa in terms of artwork. They even got the voice actor from the commercials to narrate the game!
A friend of mine used to have the shoes. It's oddly nostalgic to see the shoes mentioned. We grew up with Bionicle and would play that computer game that came in a small disc. We also went To Lego land a few times and would see Bionicle being advertised on windows and a statue. feels like another lifetime since then, I miss those days and that child wonder/excitement of what's next.
The biggest problem with this build is that; if you can freely switch between any Toa at no cost there's literally no point in collecting the Great Masks. This would be fixed by simply locking a playthrough to a certain Toa, separate save files for each one.
Sweet review. Empty combat and absent music are obviously on the to-do list. I'd say the main achievement is amazing exploration full of gasping moments of recognition, cleverly integrated into one big sandbox. Some critique on that: While Ga-Koro is a flawless recreation, I feel that's actually underachieving compared to other villages which are more elaborated, like Po-Koro. I also feel Ga-Koro is poorly integrated into the map - the kaukau waterfall drops into a swimming pool rather than the main bay. I think one of the characters randomly comments "shouldn't this village be further into the bay?" So, the devs are probably aware that it felt a bit tacked on.
I only hope with the new version they’re making they could make some boss battles with the rollers, just something I thought of to improve the fighting
Trying to get this game to work on Steam Deck currently to tide me over for the remake. I think a demo is coming in the next couple months, actually. So excited!
The possibilities of bionicle games are endless you could do a game to cover every story in the bionicle comics and then you could expand in them with expansion stories kinda like halo 3 odst (a hydraxon/lesovikk story comes to mind.). I personally would love to play as a hordika swinging through vizorak webs in metru nui, fight my way through the piraka lair from the ignika/piraka rap commercials,explore the pit while defending marhi nui and fly either as a toa phantoka or mistika into karda nui in a epic flight based combat game (definitely having the vehicles in this especially axalara.). Plus you could add things like archive data on rahi, location's and characters as collectables, masks could be used as is in this game or as a special power up depending on toa, Building your own character would be cool but if they wanted to stick the story I wouldn't mind either, this just gives me so much hope.
pls no LEGO or Tt games....bcz they never give that guys serious looking....they try to put comedy,but it doesent suits and fits at all!! i enter locations,and mean Bad Guys never look so mean.....
Say...fellow bionicle fan, have you heard about the fan game in the works called Bionicle: Quest for Mata Nui by Crainy Creations? (it's metal as hell & they even got Lego's legal blessing) ruclips.net/video/e2ggASWkA2c/видео.html
When you apologized for talking, too much about all of the stuff that you could find and explore in an experience on the island, all I could think was, I really want you to slow down and tell me everything! Looking at all this stuff is just bringing the kid out of me lol
Prior to this channel I've never even heard about bionicles, now I've seen more than 3 videos about it...still don't care about bionicles, but had fun with the videos, quality content for sure.
I actualy really enjoyed the "bad lego sets" when I was a kid hahaha however I do wish it was more hack-n-slash like kingdom hearts. Was deffo one of the main vibes the trailer gave
i played with bionicles growing up and even constructed the megazord you could make by combining all of them, yet i still don't understand all the love for the franchise. it was all just so forgettable
It's a bit like Transformers : not interesting as long as you don't get into the lore. The lore is the main reason why we love this franchise : it's more than simple toys, there's a rich and complex universe behind. It's the same reason why there's so many fans of Transformers or Magic : The Gathering. Beyond the simple product, there's a story.
Till i won't see legends of metru or legend reborn game with no same look like 3d games we had so far i see no hope for bioncle games (ye i just mean it cuz most of the thing u have is just bionicle mask of light characters )
4:57 im not that deep into the lore but is this just a random detail or a real gave that belongs to someone from the story? only character I can think of would be lhikan but then his grave would be in ta-koro, right?
I was at the Lego store in Chicago when they first introduced the shoes and got a couple masks to interchange on them. Also the flash game was my favorite do you have a video playing it?
“Galis mask of water breathing was always pretty useless, even in the Lore”
I wasn’t prepared for such a Bionicle burn in this decade
I mean, she couldn't even dive into the pit, the literal ONLY time a water breathing mask would've been really useful. Although I'm also just assuming here based off the fact that Hahli was unable to stand the pit's water for too long.
Not even her elemental water powers can save her from a burn like that.
Apply water to the burn... oh, wait...
Nothing but steam… hot air. As they say.
I love your work Mr. Shoes
There was a Bionicle game on the PS2 I loved playing that was a lot of fun
This was a great game!
So, all I'm saying, is, now here me out, a fan game set up in the bionicle universe with the morality system of Dishonored
I can't tell what your rating equates to and honestly I think it's best that way
My name is makanatoa and everyone calls me Toa
u got named after bioncle ?? cool
Listen, having never seen a single one of your videos before, the rating of Hordika minifig to Kardas Dragon, and this game's rating being Thok is nonsensical, and yet, completely justifiable and agreeable. How do you do it?
It's a solid Thok, simple as that
@@oboeshoesgames I've heard that opinions are like a**holes, but this is like discovering that you have an a**hole.

Wenua stuck a literal jackhammer into the mouth of a visorak. The toa kill like a mf.
Nothing warms my heart like more Bionicle content
Yeah... Even if it's only fan content, the more love and effort put into it, the better, right?

@@TheSpeep felt that
well yeah cos quest for mata nui development is on hiatus

dont forget sokodas set in bricklink designer program

Til that oboe's love of bionicle might not actually be a joke.
Of course not, Bionicle's freakin' awesome!

Once more I ask myself: how did I end up here? ....
But anyway back to more bionicles lore
Dont say bionicleS
There is another bionicle game you should look into if you haven't already. Quest of Mata Nui is a fan game that is like a Mona lisa in terms of artwork. They even got the voice actor from the commercials to narrate the game!
6:51 hey man! I'm glad you liked that track! it was pretty fun composing that one and the elevator/pause music you used on the video haha
1:23
Ah, a Sword & Shield main. Truly a man of culture.
Is Tahu a Greatsword or a Longsword?
... This is a JoCat reference, isn't it.

100% Solo, 0% Social
@@oboeshoesgames i.e. yeah it's a pretty cool game
@@oboeshoesgames Pretty much like Lewa, Kopaka or any other Piraka, I guess hahaha
The biggest problem with this build is that; if you can freely switch between any Toa at no cost there's literally no point in collecting the Great Masks.

Adding cyber quincy to the next version of the bionicle game would probably make finding masks extremely easy because nothing gets past his bow.

I thought the little piraka bridge set was pretty cool :(
Pls pls the UI. I know we wanna be nostalgic about the early 2000s, but the one thing we don't need from that era is their menus and fonts
Well Thock is real solid
i LIKED the mini bionicle sets and i still find the weird little glow-in-the-dark spider things around my house
I only hope with the new version they’re making they could make some boss battles with the rollers, just something I thought of to improve the fighting
Trying to get this game to work on Steam Deck currently to tide me over for the remake. I think a demo is coming in the next couple months, actually. So excited!
I have played this game for at least 10 or 14 hours. Its a really solid proof of concept and its good fanservice
It's funny how you inadvertently predicted GWP Tahu.
They put put a new Trailers about the actual game coming with a playable demo in early 2024
So that’s the same combat as Jedi Fallen Order and yet that game gets loads of praise, but this game has that combat and it gets loads of hate😂😂😂😂
It’s a crime what lego did to bionicle. Even kids today think they are cool it’s not just a adult nostalgia market
I like this game alot, I hope they add abilities to some of the masks that don't have any in the next update
I mean
In defense of Bionicle Heroes
The Inika did have laser weapons
BH did that right at least
I like the detail of the weapons they're using are actually the matas instead
Are you gonna make a video about quest for mata nui when it releases?
He definitely will
Your mind is a beautiful thing
Thok is the best rating I could've ever expected
0:06 Hey now, at least you get more parts from them.
2 years later they did a funny small set
the chad hordika minifig stride
Certified Thock moment
BIONICLES
Well I'm really happy they got back on track with the new trailer for Bionicle day, I hope you get to cover the game when the demo is out.
Mmmm that music reminds me of early 3d RPGs and MMOs
At first I thought Bionicles was just a one off joke review. Boy was I wrong.
I wish school taught me how to convert "Thok/Kardas Dragon" in decimal
this isn't that bad but for me this is 👌 perfect I love it and i love the lore
and thok Prity good

Possibilities are endless indeed, but fans for some reason tend to make games focused only on Mata Nui island and first year of story.
Here before 5 views
Yoo didn't realize you were into Bionicle, what a fucking legend
So glad to see Bionicle isn't dead. This franchise is a huge part of my childhood! Love the video
Im so glad there are other people that love bionicle as much as me
Ninjago is my least favorite I.P. in LEGO history. I'm more partial towards Unikitty, Monkie Kid, DREAMZzz, and as seen here BIONICLE.
please don't blame vakama.. lhikan's death is his ptsd...(including me when I was a 8...)
7:58 I don't know why, but this moment broke me
amogus?
I think this game is like a small taste of what is to come with the remake
will you be playing the quest for Mata nui once it comes out?
pls no LEGO or Tt games....bcz they never give that guys serious looking....they try to put comedy,but it doesent suits and fits at all!! i enter locations,and mean Bad Guys never look so mean.....

I like matoran. Just normal little dudes living their life ya know.

Where does Thok fall on your rating scale? Are we talking better or worse than Zaktan?
That fucking typewriter will be the Bane of us.
Im going to buy bionicle for the gamecube at a antique mall despite not owning a gamecube and theirs nothing you can do to stop me!
I don't think I'll ever get tired of you fanboying over Bionicle.
They really should bring back bionicles or at least hero factory
It’s a game I would recommend to ANYONE.
Lhikan's death was not Vakama's fault, you take that back 😆
Thok because there is no multiplayer, well done sir
Kopaka has the coolest Toa Mata mask. Idgaf
Truly, the Dark Souls of bionicle
One of the best bionicle game
looks like a roblox game which is a good thing on my list
I like how much he likes these kids toys and hates literally everything else
I would have lost my mind as 12 year old if this came out.
Uncomprehensible. Have a like!
This game looks like Bionicle: Breath of the wild.
Does anyone else remember those browser games they had? those were pretty awesome and free
The only real bad choice with favorite toa is tahu he’s the worst
The game is still coming soon, did you get early access??
