[Let's Play] American McGee's Alice-Nightmare Boss Rush-Final

Kupi

I'd like to point out that if there's anything about the game that you don't know, we (or at least I) don't know it either. Just how does the Marble get across the gap? Find out for us, even if it means having it land on you once or twice. I'm curious about it now, and I've got no way of figuring it out for myself.

EDIT: I'd like to point out that I'm not demanding that you go back and find out the marble thing for us; it's just the most readily available example of the principle at work. If you find yourself asking how something works, play with it on camera for us.

Helloween

How the fuck does it fly? mystery that may have plagued...a few people. So for the lulz i went and had a look.
Please forgive the sniffing i feel shite this morining.

Laws of physics fuck off

Seemed to me that it bounced slightly on one of the 'shrooms, but that could just be wishful thinking.

Hmm...yeah i think it might be.

Im sure i saw it 'bounce' off some scenery...lets just say a wizard did it and be done with it

Thus far you've travelled through several magic portals, shrunk yourself to the size of a rat, observed playing cards become sentient killing machines, and clockwork insects that drop acorn bombs. If the marble's unerring ability to follow you is the only point of contention we're doing super well. :rotate:

Also, I remember being creeped the fuck out by that boulder. I always lose my shit in games where you have to run from some huge thing about to squash you.

Yeah but...those are just normal weird...this is like WHOA holy crap thats freaking trippy.

I mean portals, smoking bugs, talking rabbits, insane cats, evil card people and old ladies sneezing their heads off is ok you know, hey in wonderland thats the norm...but marbles that defy gravity? shit man...

It bounced off the middle shroom, the one that doesn't launch you in the air.

Ah ha, maybe then mystery solved...of at least the first gap

Kupi

Thanks for going back and looking into that!

Helloween

Howdy

Stage 17 and Boss 2 for ya today

Also brown has been mostly all used up...which is good, we get grey and red for a bit.

Enjoy

Haha no worries, it was fun

Bad game wrapped in a cool atmosphere and pleasing stylistic graphics.

Suds

Bad game? Alice was pretty fucking good.

Fixed that for you.

Fixed it so hard.

Also, Helloween, the helmet the Centipede was wearing was a Pickelhaube, the typical helmet worn by German soldiers during World War I. Given the time period of the game, it kind of makes sense in Alice's delusional nightmares.

It's funny, normally the Centipede takes me ages to kill; admittedly I'm playing on Nightmare (Or whatever the hardest difficulty is...) but I always got to see him charge and spew acid and all kinds of shit. That abomination gave me a real hard time, and no mistake.

You also missed out on the Mirror powerup at the beginning of that level. Makes you invisible and undetectable for about a minute. Mushrooms can't eat what their eyes can't see.

Helloween

Hello!

Here be stage 18, not a great stage but it's got me getting my revenge on the BooJums...fuckers.
The next load of stages are awesome, so somthing good to look forward to.

Stage 18-Nipples! ;_;

Ahhh thanks! i thought it was something like that. Also in regards to the mirror i made up for it in the video
(Im not playing on nightmare cause im a wuss , plus it wouldn't be great fun to see me get nailed every 5 seconds either haha, but i can understand why it would take so damn long on that)

Helloween

Stage 19

Heading into looking glass land now, looks freakin cool as well.
Horrible abuse of the ice rod...but hey it works 8-)

Stage 19 part 1
Stage 19 part 2

Xagarath

Looking Glass Land is the best level in the game.
Seriously, we need more use of black and white in 3d games.

SkutSkut

Man I need to get this and Undying back from ma pal

Yeah it creates a really nice effect and feel...if done right of course.

I'd love to see the rumored 'next-gen' go at Alice, see how they do it for that.

Rhesus Positive

That was another deck of cards that you picked up in 19 Part 1, I think.

Is that what they are? i went back and looked but it just doesn't look like anything
That would make more sence to be honest, rather that than just some random block that gives will power back.

Xagarath

There are indeed duplicate weapons in some levels.

Helloween

Hello.

Kinda worried now, saw 2 'we hate lets play 'X' unless done right' threads today...so i hope this really isn't that shit =S

you would tell me right?

stage 20

I've enjoyed it so far. Your voice volume's a wee bit low but that's about it.

Helloween

Yeah sadly not something i can fix easily either...my video editor is wank -.-

No problem though, it's clear it just gets a bit quiet from time to time but everything else is good, clear video and sound, entertaining, the 3 most important parts of any viewing really.

You gotta laugh at castles built with stairs for people with no legs.

Stage 21 and boss 3

Helloween

Helloooo!

Stage 22 and Boss 4.

This is a good stage, looks crazy as fuck. Sorry about the three parter, was a bit big, no sure if thats good or bad for you folks heh.

Stage 22 and Boss 4 part 1 Part 2 Part 3 (Sorry )

Enjoy!

For future reference you're supposed to bounce off the chairs into the teacups.

Don't worry, I'd still be lost in the damned mirror maze, and I only found that out by accidently falling off the table.

I found undying I dunno what I'd need for a let's play to be good though.

Daemonion

Alice has always been a game that stood out for me. Right up there with Psychonauts (not so much with gameplay, but definitely with originality, level design, and artwork).

I think you have to work it out by watching the spider things, as that's how they make their grand entrance.

Carcharodontosaurus

I always felt so very, very cold when finding the March Hare and the Dormouse. They're just so incredibly mutilated that you can't really look away; what's more horrifying is that the Dormouse is drugged out of his tiny mind all the time. The March Hare has his lip stitched to his chest, numerous crudely installed mechanical replacements for his organs and just God he's so very, impossibly fucked up. Let alone finding out in that same room that the poor, weeping, insane children are being vivisected beyond recognition into Automatons. The only consolation I got was that I was in fact killing them, ending their miserable lives.

Also, much hatred for the Phantasmagorias and Spiders. The former for freezing me whilst letting all manner of creatures have their disgusting way with me and the Spiders for being awful little doll faces that poison you and bizarre little spider legs and hiding everywhere and die already you abominations!

Helloween

I dont talk much in this one, i don't feel very well to be honest, so just enjoy the video with less rambling from me for a change.

Boss time, and a creepy fuck at that.

Hope you enjoy Stage 24 Boss 5

Yeah i know what you mean, it truly is unpleasant to watch...at least we get to kill the fucker responsable.

SkutSkut

Enjoyed the hatter battle don't remember it being as easy, I remember dieing about a dozen times lol. Didn't know he was watching the whole time that was something new.

SkutSkut

I made this awhile ago my fellow Alice fans, I think this thread needs it.
