my favorite thing about games made specifically for girls is there's never any gameplay other than walking around, talking to people and choosing dialogue. maybe if you're lucky a rhythm game. only a few minutes and it seems like this one checks those boxes so far... edit: yep there's a rhythm game ... why are they all like this. i had a hannah montana game on my ds as a kid that was this same format...
to be fair, there are good games out there based solely on walking around and talking to people. Disco Elysium is a prime example: its a murder mystery game where you're a detective/police officer, its amazing and I wouldn't say it was just made for girls. But I get your point.
@@tori5315 theres also a monster high game for the wii that was this format. ghoul spirit. it was EXACTLY like this except i don't think there was a rhythm game so no gameplay at all. just walking around, filling meters and talking to people to "make relationships". i wonder what people who make these games are thinking sometimes LOL
I replayed this game a few months ago and finally finished it. The OST is amazing. Spoilers for ending: (if you care) When I finished the game, Jack just said "Congratulations! You won!" and my character responded with "I won...?" then the credits rolled. 10/10 ending
@@cailieisidro5758 And Micaiah, Mist, and Mia from Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn (Mia is the only one she retains in the mobile game Fire Emblem Heroes); several notable characters in Skyrim, including Irileth, Janessa, Nocturnal, and Night Mother; and probably most notably Rouge the Bat in a lot of Sonic games. And FYI, she's only Lyndis in the Smash Bros games, not Fire Emblem games.
America's Next Top Model on Wii is an interestingly terrible game that I know a lot about. While early weeks show the dev team had ideas, the later weeks really show they didn't want to work on it (they'll create weekly challenges and then create story scenarios for why your character still just does the exact same thing). If you let your hunger go all the way down, you lose the ability to sprint and your walk speed slows down, but that's only going to happen from fitness training. Its supposed to be a balancing act between hunger and fitness, but because fruit doesn't lower your fitness at all, it just becomes a game of binging fruit to keep both meters up. Outfit scoring is heavily biased towards buying clothes from the boutique for that week. There's technically a mechanic to borrow other model's clothes too if you are close with them, but the relationship system is random and somewhat broken. The few times you are able to do it, its usually not beneficial compared to just buying the outfits the game wants you to have. There are story scenarios about your outfits getting sabotaged or you gaining an unfair advantage over other models, but they didn't actually program it to affect gameplay in any way. Your score across the entire game is cumulative iirc, which means that later in the game I think its theoretically possible to softlock yourself based on your performance in prior weeks. The game only keeps one save and it updates constantly, so there's no fixing it. The game is too terrible for me to put in the time to test this though. There's multiple lines of "gossip" dialogue that is kinda funny just because of how little the devs cared about it, some of the dialogue keeps in retakes or line flubs, while other dialogue is just...intentionally something else. Some real examples: "I heard one of the models thought you could only model in 3D studio!" "I heard one of the model's dialogue is badly written." "I heard in order to win the competition we have to throw a magic ring into the volcano in the south." While I wouldn't expect you to be interested enough to play this far, one of the later themes for a week is "seasons." While every single week is exactly the same every playthrough, seasons is either randomized or based on the player character model you choose at the start. As far as I can tell, no one actually knows for sure. I've never seen the outcome for the character you picked, so if you had a different season that would be decently strong evidence to it being not random. My last little fun fact is that the voice actress for the player character is lani minella, whose portfolio for this time period is kind of all over the place. She was lucas in smash bros and rouge the bat. This game isn't very well documented, so I've no speculation on how that came to be.
I didn't actually catch this before, but it seems your boyfriend at the start is tied to your character model as well. In this video, your boyfriend at the start is Brian, but there is also a Daniel and a Thomas. One of the last weeks in the game (spoilers I guess?) has a plot point about your boyfriend cheating on you, but I specifically recall the boyfriend's name being Bernard in that scenario? I'd have to check one of the few completed lets play to be sure.
I love how Jack literally goes “yeah you sucked sorry” and then time travels you back to the beginning of the week as if he didn’t just casually warp the space-time continuum like it was nothing
This is basically a video game version as to what it’s like to be on The Bachelor or The Bachelorette series. Poof just makes it watchable for all his raging. 😂😂😂
As a former ANTM viewer I want you to finish as your fat fabulous self. I was rooting for you! We were all rooting for you! I also wanna see if they ever recreate any of the insane photoshoots they used to have (with Wii Motion Plus).
Poof is my favorite RU-vidr. Once he hit a million he still did his normal thing. Meaning he didn't change it up and kept what he was doing. Same with Danny Gonzalez. They still do the same content and don't change up the stuff. And they still make quality content. Just some RU-vidrs where you subscribe for that same reason and then they change the whole platform once they hit a million. That's just me though. If I was a RU-vidr maybe I would do the same thing I don't know.
I wonder why his game controls don’t work well?🤔 I bet it has everything to do with him breaking every single Wii remote and controllers in his presence
I was trying to figure out who the VA for the main character was as she sounded familiar, turns out she voiced Rouge the Bat and Omochao in Sonic Adventure 2. She also went on to voice some of the Koopalings and PomPom in Mario.
i had this game when i was like 10 and i spend HOURS playing it through, only for the ending to be the most anticlimatic thing you've ever seen, you just hear you've won and cut to the credit scene, it just feels like they cut development short and released it cause they didnt care anymore
Someone: “there’s no such thing as a Wii game that’s about cleaning someone’s dookie out of the canal system.” Literally Poof: “allow me to introduce…”
