I think i never made it past the Musical Sliding Level as a kid >.<
Brilliant
The Diego part of your whining was so lame. There's no such thing as good and evil.
A game that no one gives a toss about... and no one ever will.
Intro just slaps !!!
I only got to play this game on a Jampak ps1 disc. 😢 It had this game. Parrappa the rapper A fighting game A space ship game A few others.
You play as Bruce Campbell if he was anime
This is the little game that could. It's a light snack compared to Metal Gear, but it KNOWS this and just makes the snack as tasty and as varied as possible :)
Before 1v1 intervention only Rust It was 1v1 Rockets only Nightfire
My childhood ❤ Grew up playing this in youth center computer labs almost every day along with Neopets, Tiberian Sun and Troy 2000.
40:13 - Now this is making me want a mod that replaces Gabriel's lines with Zapp Brannigan (and I suppose to keep up with the theme, Isidore's with Kif's?)
This whole video is just looking for cons
@"... because if they did, every other game would be against the dick marines." That sounds an awful lot like somebody else's problem. Sincerely, The Dick Marines
umm - just hover over buttons of new units - no need for it to handhold and tell you exactly what to do - that would be playing the game for you. I like the way this game did it. All games are a puzzle - part of the puzzle is examining the buttons.
The best thing about this game for me was the audio - the music - and voice clips: it was the first time i had heard 40k characters speak. and it was perfect. also the opening menu music - felt EXACTLY like the oppressive world of 40K. Oppressive, desperate, desolate. Brilliant music Of course the squad mechanic and the weapon updates - differentiate this game form C&CV and starcraft - it was very good.
HAhahahaah "This means I have to play 3! hahaahha Im sorry bro, but yes. You have to take the mental blow for all of us XD
Chrono Trigger, my love 🙏
Yes it was brilliant.
I'm actually replaying the entire BG 1-2, Icewind Dale EE (with expansions) right now. Played a lot in 2000s, then replayed in 2010's when it came out on Android, and now replaying it on Steam Deck with the Steam version. A truly amazing experience that I kind of forgotten with the newer hollow games that's been flooding the market. I also agree that the old style CGI clips were better, more immersive. The new 2d cartoon ones feel cheap and really lazy... P.S. Your bravery is amazing. Running Hard difficulty solo on a fighter\mage\thief with 13 dex and 14 str really takes bawls :) Sure, you can boost stats with potions and items, but it's tedious and limits your potential (for example, you can have Legacy of the Masters instead of Brawling Hands or Hands of Takkok bracers if you have natural 18 dex and str). Also, scrolls, potions and other items help overcome certain mechanics a lot, like make you highly resistant\immune to magic, boost physical defenses. Protection from petrification, a level 1 mage spell, works wonders against basilisks, too. You don't have to cheese everything with snare-sleep-snare and hasted kiting 😅
As a Chaos player, I have to disagree on Chaos sucking (at least from what I can remember). It just required an extremely agressive playstyle. Chaos Lord can 1v1 almost any other commander in the early game game and still have a bit of health at the end of the fight, Chaos Space Marines had access to flamers earlier than any other race which was kind of essential to gaining momentum early. Basically, bunker down and you are dead, but if you harassed the enemy and took initiative, late game units like Possessed space marines were morale breakers and they had nice, teleportable anti armor units in Horrors. However, I might be misremembering or I played against plebs
This video is a 9/10, it's only missing audio from the game. It would have been great to hear the soundtrack with the narration, and hear the aound effects here and there
The Dark Souls of floating limbs
A lore video on Gabriel.ua-cam.com/video/KbMttIZOhII/v-deo.htmlsi=KQxz2jJTLLQA6La7
So that's why I mever finished the game 😂
I ended up farming lives on Allegro Presto. One of the stages could be done quickly, thanks to the sliding, and had enough blue tings that you could rack up several lives in a go-through. I did end up beating the game in my late teens, after many years trying. Worth it. I defintely need to find my GOG copy and go through it again - just watching this video was triggering my muscle memory.
I think u were kinda harsh dood
I still have this game. And my PS3 is still alive, so I can play it again if I want to. I was more scared of the timer than the monsters because I was having fun fighting them and slicing them apart to make sure they're dead.
It is a cool game ....but if one has superior at the start you will get wooped so its hard too comeback for the opponent its always a problem in these games...you cant turn the game in the late game like warcraft 3 ...its more like the old AOE (the new one AOE4 is what it should be in the late game in my opinion.)
I would love to see a video for the PS1 Chamber of Secrets too!
i wonder if we can get a vid on Legend of the Dragoon. Niche PS1 era game with digital release on PS4/PS5. Everyone I've met whose played it, myself included, loves it. Seems right up Josh Strife Hayes' alley.
My god I forgot the name of this game and I occasionally get flashbacks of playing this, me being a cool anime guy at like 9 years old in white and red armor. Seeing his feels like a absolute fever dream
the ost was good
Fucking loved it!
I just realised i never managed to finish this game. Due to my lack of english as a kid i thought i was finished after the lobster boss. Guess I'll have to go back.
May I ask, for Diablo I, pretty please? ❤❤❤❤❤❤
i beat this 100% several times as a kid, this game was a masterpiece
Instructions unclear - how often should I save?
SOTN is my fav PS1 game of all timr, i love it i go back to play it every once in a while.
This was one of the worst games ever made. Can't believe it was made by "From Software".
A man of culture!
I just won't ever be able to understand how they dont managhe to just develope dawn of war 2 (i dont consider dow 2 and 3 dawn of war titles). Its the easiest cashgrab there could be. just take the dawn of war 1 formula and adjust graphics as well as size and dont change the other stuff.
there is a mod that makes it way more doable. ITS SLIPPERY NOT SLIPPY
fun fact about the tazer, it shows up in days gone (bend studio's most recent game) as an end game sort of secret item. It's not as useful due to the game being focused more on large groups of enemies, but the function is still the same (with limited range, though).
That skyrail map looks like a 1 to 1 version of the Castle Wolfenstein ice station multiplayer map lol
43:35 you really should've mentioned how the foreground object is set up in such a way that it blocks your view of the spikes when you get close enough VERY likely intentional to make it more likely for you to miss their existence
But did you beat the Black Omen in every time period?
Equipping alucard sword and using its image strike special move which if done repeatedly gives you s, and paired with spamming soul steal makes Dracula a cakewalk 😂😂😂
U didn’t use soul steal!? Man that thing makes alucard borderline broken😂
Id love to see Josh analyze the mechanics and systems of Final Fantasy VIII
It is entirely a symbolic move. The surgeon general can not over rule the supreme court or the 2nd amendment. It is unfortunate bit It is going to take am amendment to fox this issue
