Jet Force Gemini is the first modern-style third-person shooter game ever made. Arguably more genre-defining than GoldenEye.

You probably didn't get enough homing missiles for Juno.

>> No.8097054

>>8096985
There were only 2 packs that i didn't get for him. If i recall correctly i had like 40-45 homing missiles for him. Besides, this shouldn't be a requirement for the final boss. And luckily i knew to make sure Juno got most of them. But what a fucking trap and a nightmare this could end up being if you don't know ahead of time it's only Juno who fights.

The whole end of the game is fucked, and it's such a disappointment because i had a total blast playing it up until this point. Fuck you Rare.

so what you're saying is you have to 100 percent complete the game

>> No.8097212

>>8097186
100% or close to it, to even have a chance. Even then the fight is incredibly finicky, cheap and next to impossible. It's notorious for being one of the toughest and unfair boss fights ever. It's total bullshit. If you gave the power ups to any other character but Juno, you are screwed at the end of the game. Whoever designed it like this is some kind of masochist or something.

Dont remember having so much trouble with Mizar. I tried as hard as possible to spread upgrades evenly among the characters, so Juno wasnt overpowered. Yea I probably died a couple times before I got his attack patterns down, but I never lacked ammo or anything to beat it.

>> No.8098378

Best n64 IMO.
Better than any Ratchet and clank game, and RnC is clearly inspired by JFG.

If you want to play it now, play the rare replay version, it has twin stick controls and runs at a steady framerate.

And dont get filtered by the mantis and tribals, otherwise u a gay ass nigga.

Played it as a kid and I'm currently replaying after all those years. Game is very fun and has both action and exploration. Only downside is the framerate, but the game is designed around that and you get used to it.

Just beat the game yesterday. I liked the ending, the last stage was hard and fucking Mizar is a cool final boss.

It's fun at first but it quickly becomes tedious trash

>> No.8102797

It's a great futuristic shooter with amazing atmosphere.
But forcing you to save every single teddy bear to be able to fight the end boss is a pile of shit.
And then having you fight the boss in a fixed character order is a double shit pile on toast.
Every character having its phase - sure, but let me choose the goddamn order!

Cool that they fixed it up. I ain't buying an Xbox One/Series, though. I'm sure upping the cycles per op to 1 and using the Full Framerate feature in Mupen, combined with nigger-rigging the controls for dual-stick is sufficient.

Like >>8103481 said, he has like 4 attacks. You have to use the homing missiles, and lock into his backpack as soon as possible. Then, shoot two missiles each time he turns around, which is after he does the attack where he uses his arm to crush the ground and make sime orange waves. You also be extra careful with the attack in which he uses his hand to make an electro ball. Stay in place and just jump without moving whenever the ball is going to hit you.
There's a second phase, but you should be fine by just using the tri-rocket on his face, and then on his arms once he uses them to guard the head.
Good luck.

>You also be extra careful with the attack in which he uses his hand to make an electro ball. Stay in place and just jump without moving whenever the ball is going to hit you.
Not as easy as it sounds. The ball can come fast, slow, or alternating at random, and if you don't jump in the right spot, you'll be eating it when you land because it just looped back on you. Best thing to do is hang off to the sides of the ledge and keep movement to a minimum as you jump.
