So anyone can just file a content ID Claim and anyone can deny your dispute.
As usual with how Youtube is these days I recieve a Content ID Claim for a video I literally just uploaded. Cause FYI bots now scan your video before it fully uploads. After examining the Claim on my video. I find that it's completely incorrect. Not completely unusual. However this had a different ending than the 1 of 2 outcomes I usually expect. Instead of my dispute being accepted or rejected by the companies in question. Instead a completely different company denied my dispute!
So early this month I received a Content ID Claim from Warner Chappell, Sony ATV Publishing, & PEDL. I disputed the claim cause what was being claimed is completely the wrong song. So simple mistake obviously. After jumping through hoops I contacted each of these companies (2 of them being the same company) about the dispute to hopefully speed up the process.
*Sony ATV Publishing and PEDL are the same company just operate in different countries.
Today I get a notice saying a completely different company VCPMC_CS denies my dispute. This company wasn't listed at all in the original Content ID Claim and still isn't. What do I do? I can't even find this company anywhere.
What's the point of the dispute system when some completely different company can deny your dispute?
To give insight to what's being claimed. A battle theme in my recent Dissidia 012 Final fantasy video was being claimed as "Final Battle (Final Fantasy X)" Not only is this the wrong song being claimed in the video. But this song doesn't play at all in Dissidia. The actual song that plays is Saber's Edge -Arranged- version. After noting that in my dispute i proceeded to contact these companies to let them know and hopefully speed up the process. Letting them know of the problem.
But instead I get a company that wasn't even listed in the claim to begin with denying my claim. How is this possible? I had to go asking around and none of the answers were positive at all.
First the company VCPMC_CS happens to be another one of the many Music Collection Societies.
VCPMC = Vietnam Centre for Protection of Music Copyright.
Second it's possible (But I'm not convinced) that an additional claim was registered after the initial notice was sent. In which case why isn't it noted then when I check the claim a 2nd time?
The initial claim being made on my video. I disputed it due to the song name being incorrect. Note that only Warner Chappell, Sony ATV Publishing, and PEDL are the only Copyright Owners noted.
My dispute being denied by VCPMC_CS. A company not at all listed in the claim.
Since it was denied I had no choice but to mute that section of the video. Appealing the decision risks me getting a Copyright Strike or Facing a Lawsuit. Despite my dispute being correct. I do not possess the means to confidently appeal this.
I have contacted the companies about my Content ID Claims. None of them have answered at the time of this post. Many of them requiring you to jump through many hoops to find proper contact information. Most response I received was an auto-email bot.
I honestly feel bamboozled. A random company can just step in and deny a dispute being made. Despite my dispute being correct. Just feels like people with money bullying those without money cause they know the other guy can't fight back. While I could appeal the decision that would mean that I'm subjecting myself to getting a Copyright Strike and/or facing Lawsuits.
So we're just forced to take L's while these people get away with whatever they like?
Apparently this has happened to many other people as well. But seems that mines is a unique case. And I cannot get in contact with Team Youtube to receive some type of help on this.
For those that didn't know. On January 6, 2021 Capcom released a statement talking about there Video Policy. Essentially a set of guidelines to say what you should or should not upload to sites like Youtube, Twitter, TwitchTV, Facebook, Your Own Website, etc.
While there's many reasons we can speculate as to why this was done. There's no confirmed answer and it drives from the main point. Many content creators of all sorts from people that Livestream, Upload Youtube content, fan artist, alike have read over this and found ourselves confused, concerned, angry, or just plain didn't care.
Two days later (January 8th, 2021), Capcom's twitter page post a tweet response to this saying that they understand our concerns and asks us to post questions to hopefully clarify there video policy guidelines.
Well you can be sure I did so. And I honestly want to make sure these guys see it cause I don't think tweeting these guys questions will do us any good. I would rather contact someone at Capcom directly concerning this. However there's not much I can do in that department. There's no phone number to call, no e-mail address I'm able to send my questions to. On there website they have a support page but it's tailored towards games specifically.
Capcom Support said that the support page was meant for Games and redirected me towards there tweet.
I wish I could find there legal team to call cause that's what I want to contact. They would generally know better. And Again I don't really trust a tweet. While you can do business there. Social Media forums have a bit of a problem where things can get easily buried under post made by others. Twitter is definitely no exception. So there's a good chance my posts may not get seen at all. To give an example. Without a link to there Tweets about Video-Policy, I couldn't find the tweet by digging through there twitter page. It was buried under multiple retweets for different games.
Anyway hopefully they see my questions and concerns and not ignore it.
But again for repetition sake to hopefully get this noticed. These are my questions. Hopefully before more questions come up.
How does this affect people that just play the game or do speedruns?
What if the video was just showcasing a certain move in the game that isn't "modded". Does that have to follow Audience-Appropriate guidelines? Cause I've read comments on such videos and it sometimes makes it sound like it's for a much older audience.
Does this apply to artwork? In particular fanart of characters? Some of my friends read this and complained that they can't draw there favorite character anymore.
How does this affect various sites that host Capcom related content such as the Capcom Wiki?
Where is the line drawn on Twitch/Youtube emotes featuring Capcom characters? Despite being considered fanart of characters used as emotes and notifications.
For fan created content are we not to credit CAPCOM for use of the character's sprites or models involved in the creation of the fan content?
Do we have any examples to go based off of?
I honestly hope that this doesn't get buried and ignored. Especially when viewing this from other sources who have an opinion on this make this sound even less friendly than what it is. I wish I could just ignore this but I do have a love for certain Capcom series such as Mega Man, Breath of Fire, Plasma Sword, etc. I don't want to suddenly stop sharing my love for the games.
Well been awhile since I tackled one of these games that I may or may not play in the future. I've actually had a growing stack of these that's probably about to topple over on me if I keep ignoring it. So might as well start here. Also new year. So I guess try and start strong??? I dunno.
Anyway Brok the InvestiGator. I stumbled across this game while combing through Twitter post. The game's website describes it as;
"The first "Classic Adventure" mixed with Beat'em Up and RPG, inspired by cartoons from the 80's/early 90's. What kind of detective will you be? "
Well I did grow up in that time. So I'm guessing Darkwing Duck, SwatCats, Goof Troop, Ninja Turtles, Street Fighter (The bad animated one), MK (The bad animated one) Sonic, etc.
My experience (You don't have to read Spoilers and all that)
So I start the game and...wow already in a disaster situation. Brok wakes up in a daze and the apartment's on fire with no way out. This isn't a typical left the oven on fire either. Someone set this up but no time to think about that gotta get out of here. While this is one of the many "Point and Click" adventure games that seem to have mixed reactions. I can tell you that this doesn't strike me as the "Sierra" style adventure games. The stigma that Sierra games carry is that you can get killed at anytime for anything. While that's not completely true. It's more like you get killed for not using common sense. Like you decided to stay and watch as all the guards are taken out by a genie when you should've been running after the guy trying to kill the princess. There are other silly deaths but a lot of is easily avoided by common sense. Anyway Brok the InvestiGator IS NOT A SIERRA style adventure game.
This game isn't going to kill you from a lack of common sense or exploring everything. You need to explore and figure out how to progress. Which is generally done in a few clicks. I also like how I can switch from using a controller to using a mouse and keyboard at anytime. Most games I played seem to have a problem with that. This isn't one of those. If you play with a controller the mouse pointer automatically moves to areas of interest for Brok to investigate.
So we need a way to put this fire out or to get out of here. Brok finds a robot. Maybe that can help...No instead the Robot thinks we're a burglar and tries to kill Brok. It fails to notice that the entire apartment is on fire. Technology people. I actually fear that this is how Technology will go in the future. Heck even now. That we get something to help us for convenience but when an emergency happens, that technology is completely useless. Anyway this is our first combat sequence. Combat controls are simple. Attack, Jump, and Block. I'm actually not used to seeing block in a Beat'em up. Blocking in beat'em ups is usually Don't be there but stand above, below, or behind the attacker. So yeah blocking is new. The combat isn't really anything special right now. But I did notice that Brok has a Dragon Punch. So we might be getting somewhere with these completely unsafe moves. LOL
You can sense attitudes? Did Skynet or MasterMold take over?
After beating up 2 robots. We make it to the backroom. Oh no there's a woman trapped under a bookshelf. We gotta help! Lia uses her dying words to blame Brok for everything that's happening. Brok tries to lift the shelf but can't do so even after finding an object to help lift it.
COME ON MAN!!! USE THAT ADRENALINE!!!
Despite all attempts we can't save her and Brok decides it's best to just wait it out till it's over. She complains that Brok was never there and Brok has what looks to be an episode of repressed memories. Then he wakes up from the nightmare. Oh good I hope.
World Building
So now time for some world building. Well Brok lives in what looks to be a one bedroom apartment and it's pretty rundown. I guess that's his roommate sitting on the side over there. Pile of dirty dishes. A broken cleaning bot. I'm guessing this is a dystopian future.
Brok gets a call from a client. An officer who's incredibly stressed out about something but can't talk about it over the phone. He leaves his address and hangs up. Maybe this guy has some info that could get him killed? Conspiracy??? Eh...we'll get to it later. I don't see a clock anywhere so we got time.
What could you possible call a detective for that you'd be worried the line would be tapped?
No that's not his roommate. The cat character playing on his tablet is Graff and happens to be Brok's adopted son. He took him in after the accident with his girlfriend Lia. Graff doesn't really open up too much and I'm honestly too afraid to press further into his life. Although I do have some qualms about who's turn it is to do dishes, not going to school, and locking the door to his room. I mean you could clean those dishes...despite it not being your turn (sorry kind of a pet peeve there). But let it be. Can't go triggering landmines.
NO WE DON'T IT'S BUSTED AND SHOCKING PEOPLE!
After giving him some pocket money (and I feel like I should've thought about that) Graff mentions the Science Fair being later that day. I'm already having a bad feeling that Brok is gonna mess up big time here.
So we get outside and check the mail. Oh boy bills. And to make matters worse the bill states that, "FOR THE SAKE OF SECURITY" you basically have to pay it in person. Yeah right security. Too many real world things can be applied there.
Well try to go out the door and well...it's blocked by the cleaning bot. Brok tries to take it down and it shocks him. Well another quick puzzle. Grab this stick and there we go...broken robot but it's removed at least. Brok says he'll fix it that he has a friend that can. And apparently it has cat hair in it??? Graff denies it has anything to do with him. I'm not pressing it not enough info to go on.
So Brok has high cost bills, a stressed son to take care of, and a job that probably doesn't pay well. What else can we add?
Well how about a caring heart? Making our way outside. We see a guy getting beat up by 2 punks for money. Probably mafia. Brok can't stand to see such a sight and we get into combat again. Well the beat'em up is showing some elements again as we have the age old technique of getting grabbed by one guy while the other takes shots at you. After the fight. Hey...leveled up. So I can choose to level up Brok's HP, Attack power, or Special attack. Oh there's specials? Can't wait.
Well we got a Dragon Punch. So combat is starting off on the right foot.
So we talk to the guy we rescued. His name is Tramp apparently??? He talks about how he has a disease that's killing him and couldn't get the medicine to prolong his life so that's why he owes whoever those 2 rat guys were working for. He goes on about he's a vet and essentially discarded by the military after a war. Brok insists on helping the guy even so much as offering his own home. Tramp declines and says that he shouldn't get too involved as those guys will come back. I kinda agree with him there. See while Brok has a big heart. The problem is that if he's messing with some gang or whatever and they come after him they might go after Graff, you know the adopted son. But Brok insists on helping Tramp out. Tramp hands him a medical prescription. If possible we might be able to get the medicine he needs. So side quest. I actually do want to help him out since I'm playing as Brok. I'm honestly not sure if I would've let him get beat up either. X_X
Main Client Sin
Moving on to our main client. We find hey a machine to pay invoices and a get a daily pill...except it's broken. Sigh...so we're totally living in a dystopian future. Moving on..in order to access our clients apartment we need a code. He left it in a text message.
I can't fix Brok's life but I'm not about to let a puzzle stand in his way.
But we got a bit of a puzzle to solve. In order to enter the code we gotta press the right buttons and this isn't a simple numpad. Each button adds up the numbers in a certain way I also can't go backwards if I mess up. After messing with that we make it to the client. The client's name is Sin (weird name). Sin apparently lost his "Crippling Gun" and is stressing out about it cause he's new to the police force. He says if he goes in he'll be fired on the spot for not having it and he has no friends to help bail him out. Brok proves that he's horrible at haggling but agrees to find the gun for him. At least charge enough to pay your bills man. -_-
Do I look like I have credentials? Although you look more like a janitor than an officer so...
Further investigation of his apartment. We find that this is also a rundown apartment. But also multiple wine glasses, a family picture, drugs? This guy might have more problems than just simply losing his gun. But he's the paying client so, lets not push our luck here. I forgot to bring up another problem we have with this client. He lost his gun in the dome and you need a special ID and apparently a DNA scan to get past the security check. Brok says he'll find a way pass cause he has a friend that's a hacker.
Pretty sure we could get arrested for this. And I'm not sure how far "I'm a Main Character" rule will let us slide with ransacking our clients house.
And it was around this point I stopped. I wanted to keep going but I had so much to do that day I decided to leave this for later. I was already an hour in and I have a few guesses as to what's going on here.
Sidenote: A thought occurred at the end that what if I get punished for not locking the door. I do have a key to the apartment and I walked out without locking the door. Oh CRAP!!! X_X
Thoughts on the World Building
So this game takes place in a Dystopian Future. Usually this means wasteland territory where technology and even civilization is in small pockets. Not entirely true. There's usually a class system involved. The rich class (and some of the middle class) usually live in domes or some area of safety where they have a sense of security and sophistication. They don't care what's going on outside there wall as long as it doesn't interfere with there lives. When it does that's when they complain.
I look at this and feel like I can relate somehow. And I'm not even a vet.
Everyone that lives outside this dome is pretty much the Middle to poor class. Everything's rundown the people that run the city don't really lift a finger to help and when they do it's not the help that's wanted. They'll do things that'll help there public image but continue stepping on those beneath them. But essentially everyone that doesn't live in this dome is left for dead. Meaning free reign for gangs, mafias, whatever to show up and start taking advantage of the weak.
So yeah Brok has it rough. Although he's probably the guy people can trust since or try to take advantage of cause of his skills. He's a detective and doesn't necessarily answer to anyone. But he needs money and considering where he lives. Definitely some moral choices will have to be made.
The TL:DR
I have guesses on where this story will go based on the prologue. I also feel like Brok is gonna have it rough for a very long time throughout this game. Well if I'm behind the wheel I'll do what I can to avoid these pitfalls the gator is moving towards. Although BROK ISN"T MAKING THAT EASY!!! He's making me want to jump in the game and help him out personally.
Gameplay
YUCK!!! Ants!!!
Gameplay the adventure aspects is not a Sierra style game where you die cause you lacked common sense. I appreciate the ability to switch between using a controller or a keyboard on the fly. Also things aren't completely hidden as with certain adventure games or needing a very specific spot to click.
The combat I feel is a wait and see scenario. While it's definitely not going to be Streets of Rage 4 (or Fight'N Rage) it's not bad. It has the typical beat'em up aspects.
Story
I may want to jump in this game to help you. But I can't help you with bills.
World building is done well. I'm not left here thinking about a random plot point that felt important but never gets explained. I'm already sensing conspiracy but we don't really have an antagonist yet. Well I've only play for an hour so who knows maybe that will show itself later.
Music and Sound
I would have to listen to the background music on it's own. But I don't hate it. I mean it could have absolutely no music and I would get bored of the game. So we get a pass there. If you're going to ask me about voice acting. I don't have problem with it. As long as you can read your lines I'm fine with it. There are some games out there where the actors can't even read or say there lines right at all and it gets produced into the game. I also couldn't tell you what's good voice acting and what's bad voice acting since that seems to vary from person to person.
Overall
I want to see where this story leads. I do have this constant feeling of being want to jump into the game and help him myself. Which is good cause that means I like the story so far. This game clearly made the narrative it's focus which is a good choice as well. It also has bits of comedy which I do love for a game to have. It can't be despair hour 24/7. I'm rather looking forward to playing this one.
Other Screenshots
So are rats squealers? Do moles count as squealers too?
So vegetarian???
Where have I heard school being referred to as the "Consciousness Center" before?
I have absolutely no faith in this science fair project of yours with a name like that.
Not gonna question your faith but I believe you shouldn't be selling things related to said faith.
Why do I hear "They're Back" from Streets of Rage 4 playing?
The last part. So I left at the worst part of the game. This is honestly the worst part of the game for me. Not cause it's hard but it's just incredibly annoying. So all the troops Dingo has rallied together. He has to help them make it to Aumaan. Would be easy but again these guys are pathetic and shouldn't be here at all. So the entire battlefield turns into a literal warzone. I have to protect these guys from dying as best as I can. Nothing ADA suggests makes it easier. Especially since there's tons of guys and the only way to help them is to switch to Geyser and throw it on them. The other problem is that these soldiers beg Dingo for help worse than the StarFox crew. You get no breathing room as the requests for help pop up one after another enough to make me wanna break my speakers.
I managed to scrape by with an S rank???? Only 3 of the 40 dudes died. Dingo still feels bad cause 3 people died. Uh...dude...this actually isn't bad. I thought I did much worse. Once the mission is over. Jehuty finally gets it Microsoft Update and has to reboot. The reboot has granted us the use of 0 Shift. Making pretty much every other subweapon useless.
We have the power of Anime now. Everything I'm fighting just feels like an exercise of catharsis. Everything just falls to Jehuty's power. Especially since what wasn't noted is that Jehuty upgraded as well. So everything just dies easily.
Well we reached the end...at least we think. My memories of this point are fuzzy cause I remember next to nothing of this part. So one last Vector Cannon blast and it's to the final bosses. Oh hey Anubis...you look...different???
Fake Anubis
How is this even a boss fight? It's not really fighting back.
After beating the crap out of it we see the truth. GASP....Ken's inside!!! Yeah we were tricked. After an incredibly long speech by Nohman Leo goes on a rampage only to get his butt kicked and due to all the destruction around us Jehuty gets heavily damaged and we lose most of our weapons. So much for being all powerful. We ride what I guess is a wave of Metatron energy chasing after Nohman. We only have what is neccessary to beat up Anubis.
Anubis
This is rough. It's pretty much a waiting game for him to warp then attack. I dodge, 0 Shift then attempt an attack back. Just a few hits from Anubis and I'm toast. So much for an even playing field.
After managing to scrape another victory. We land on is this the moon? no...a meteor...whatever this is where Aumaan truly is. I honestly have no recollection of this part. Elena tells us to do whatever it takes to stop Aumaan. Dingo brings up how the Earth shouldn't tell Mars how to run things and to let Mars be free. Before heading in I need to find these EX Missions lying around they're hard to see while I'm being assaulted by multiple Nephtis clones. Pretty much every Nephtis clone I kill gives me a Metatron recovery so no worries there. Also Jehuty seems to be powered up??? I have unlimited Sub Energy which to me doesn't mean much as I don't have any subweapons outside of 0 Shift. Once I collect the EX Mission data. I head in to the final boss.
Aumaan Anubis
So the battlefield looks like it's a space of constant creation and destruction. It seems Aumaan fused with Anubis or Aumaan is using Anubis as an avatar to fight me. I like how the strategy guide was all like don't worry about it attacking with certain attacks as it never uses them...How would they know if they noted those attacks? The stategy guide also fails to mention that this boss can recover life!!! The main thing is to stay on top of this guy and continue bashing it's head in till it's dead.
When it tries to recover HP I got a bit confused cause it looked like I could grab the panels it was surrounding itself with. I mean each had a huge word saying "Grab" on it. Eventually it's just me switching from Lock-on lasers to smashing Anubis's head in with my blade. Eventually the fight's over and I can relax to watch the ending.
Ending
Yeah I only remember part of the ending so good to watch it again. Aumaan is ready to fire and basically destroy everything. We're pretty much out of time. Nohman is pretty much dead and making comments about Dingo's deceased comrades. While Aumaan is going off Leo tries to help but is in no shape to help. ADA's ready to blow up. Dingo's not ready to give up and goes anime. Saying not to give up yet. When all seems lost Dingo see's the remains of Anubis lying around and tosses it into Aumaan. Aumaan is successfully destroyed. Yay!!!
We head home ADA questions if she did the right thing by disobeying orders. Leo says not to worry about it. Ken had Dingo removed from Jehuty. Dingo asks if he can have a normal body next time. End credits roll.
My overall rating is a C. Too many continues and 5 saves. Yeah expected.
Extra Stuff
Ah the extras unlocked. Apparently I need to beat the game at least twice to unlock everything. It doesn't look like ranking matters either. So there's a vs mode like the older game that lets you use the other Frames in combat. To unlock the others I need to find them in normal play or play the EX missions. Even replay boss fights. The bonus is I can use whatever Jehuty version I have. So it's kind of cheat.
Imagine whooping Nephtis in a few seconds lol. Definitely something to do.
The Metal Gear Rising Demo
I think this is the only reason a lot of people bought ZOE HD. It is a pretty hype game. So here's a quick rundown of my experience with the demo.
Pretty much watched the important sections of the game from streams and playthroughs. Never saw the full story. There are some parts that completely piss me off not cause of gameplay or writing but cause of what it's implying. The training children's brains to be killing machines bit or Jack's (Raiden's) sealed away persona. Or the speech of "ism's" . Yeah Metal Gear series is one of those games that takes a lot of real world events and conspiracy theories. Then pushes them in our faces. So much so that people tend to ignore it cause of all the cool shit going on.
Anyway I'm playing the demo for my first time. Oh god how did anyone play this? This is definitely not my style of action platformers. I have issues mainly with controls. I feel like it's trying to be a 3rd Person shooter but with a sword instead. Which doesn't describe this very well. My main problem is that there's no block button. I think this game would heavily benefit from that. But instead we have a "Ninja Run" button??? There is a parry option but...I can really follow it. And I know this game will essentially demand that I master parrying.
The other thing I can't get a grasp on is the slow-motion slice thing. It's cool but I don't feel like I could ever perform one correctly. And I know the end game absolutely requires you master this mechanic. You're supposed to slice the opponent up as many times as possible into many pieces but you're also supposed to be precise for many reasons. WTF. This is definitely something you have to experience for yourself to understand.
I'm not entirely sure you can be stealthy in this game. I tried but it looks like stealth is only good for one kill before you're in full combat mode. Hard to judge from a demo. I was also trying to be stealthy to save a guy's life but I guess I acted too slowly. I don't even know when they killed him but they did.
I do like the music. This is one of those games where the music direction is spot on. I can get behind having an insturmental theme that transitions to a full vocal theme as things ramp up.
The boss fight. I need practice and much like Devil May Cry I can't combo bosses or enemies how I want to. And obviously I need to learn how to parry. My only issue with playing a game like this on Youtube is the knowledge that obvious comments will roll in talking about how I'm not playing the game optimally. I also only really like this game for it's music. I think if the game was more like Ninja Gaiden gameplay in terms of combat I'd love it more. It's really just me wanting to block everything as my defense.
That's about it. These videos should finish out the time slot for the year so. See you all later.
So we're joined up with Ken who's giving us directions to Lloyd. I'm pretty sure many other LPers would say this is unneccessary padding cause you have to follow Ken's directions exactly and she guides you like she's looking for a certain address on the wrong street. If you go the wrong way you risk hitting a mine that pretty much does 50% damage. So yeah you gotta listen to her. It only gets annoying cause you have move exactly as she says and you encounter enemies that can throw you off course.
Funny thing I remember happening when I streamed this a decade ago. I wanted to use the Vector Cannon so bad and there was a group of enemies right in front me. So why not. The moment I tried to use it. I died. Cause I wanted to see this thing fire. So I didn't quit. LMAO.
Once you make it to Lloyd's place. The old man wants to play with you. Show him your skills. My memory is rather vague of this part. I dunno if I sped through this a decade ago or what. But I have to go down EVERY elevator it seems. It's honestly a feel good section cause of the previous parts. I can cut loose a bit. What's funny to note is that Ken starts making remarks about Dingo's comments. She honestly sounds like most Youtube comments.
"You yell too much."
"Who are you talking to?"
You are as good as people say."
Once I get through all the elevators I find I need to go down deeper. This parts kinda scary but also funny. There's multiple crushers in the rooms. A lot of times if I wait the enemies get caught and destroy themselves.
Inhert
Once I get towards the end. Lloyd finally shows up to play. In his Inhert. Pretty sure this design is some obvious symbolism of some kind but I'm not paying attention enough to care at the moment. Basically this guy likes using illusions and it's a game of find the real one. Least for the first half of the fight. Then he makes the entire area go black and I have to chase him down with ADA's help. By the time she says block I'm too slow to react. Especially when many of the attacks had me dodging right.
So Lloyd talks about a certain program to bring Jehuty to it's full performance to make it even with Anubis. Ken gets off Jehuty to go get the program and she uploads it to Jehuty. We get it but it takes time for it install. Then Lloyd goes on talking about what Aumaan really is but we get interrupted by none other than Nohman himself. Can't divulge too much info.
Anubis AGAIN
Yeah Nohman's back to flex on us again. Nohman is also developing this attitude that Metatron energy is God and he's just a humble servant. He keeps spamming attacks and doesn't want to fight close range. After doing everything to hit him a few times. Lloyd helps Dingo escape from Nohman with a Heroic Sacrifice.
Ken pops in giving a speech for Dingo to stop Aumaan. And we stop hearing from her. Before we can make our next move...Leo pops in. He mentions that Space Force is assembling at one area. Before head there we get one interuption of epic proportions. A space armada is flying in to destroy the Space Force. Dingo says he'll take care of them.
THIS IS MY FAVORITE PART OF THE GAME! EVERYTHING ELSE DOESN'T EVEN COMPARE!
So that Vector Cannon that we got. FINALLY HAS A USE! We're gonna take this thing and blow up 5 Warships. We're also doing an epic warship battle. So the part of firing the Vector Cannon. You gotta get to the engine of each Warship and fire it. They eventually start getting smart and closing off the way to the engine. Apparently there hull is strong enough to block the Vector Cannon. Eventually the fun has to end.
Zakat
So this giant waste of space challenges us. He does realize that I just dropped 5. COUNT EM 5!!! Warships and barely broke a sweat right? Honestly this feels like the easiest boss of the game. He shoots giant lasers and rotates them like this is a shump. Then tries to protect himself with shields you can yank off the guy. He goes down with pure ease. We watch him eject and I guess to be bit of a reference to ZOE1 we watch him go without being shot down.
So now we join the Space Force LEVs on the ground. They don't like Dingo. Dingo used to be with BAHRAM so nobody likes him. And we get a call from Elena. Remember her? She wants us surrender Jehuty. At this stage of the game? Okay first off I like how Dingo never brings up that he leaves Jehuty he dies. Also considering the Space Force's track record of utterly sucking not just this game but also ZOE1. Who exactly do you have that can pilot Jehuty and not get there asses handed to them by Nohman and Anubis?
Back to the story. Dingo brings up that Ken is with the Space Force.
Elena: No she's not.
Gasp!
We kinda already figured that. Leo shows up and vouches for Dingo. And then Elena gives a speech about how the Space Force LEVs are gonna make one last stand against BAHRAM despite how much they suck. Dingo says a final few words to convince the Space Force that he's on there side. Good thing those words worked. I would've had a few choice words to say myself. Something like;
You guys have 0 chance to stop Aumaan with this force. You'll be lucky escape. If you're gonna shoot me just cause I was since your enemy go ahead but I won't be responsible for what happens next.
Anyway after that speech the Space Force join up with Dingo. And we come to what's I feel is the worst part of ZOE2. I'll save that for next time.
