This channel is dedicated to taking a look back at games and game franchises from the late-90s and early-to-mid 2000s, as well as reviews of recent releases whenever I can.
Series Retrospectives include 'Franchise Graveyard', a look at dormant game series' from defunct developers/publishers, and 'Right in the Childhood', individual games that I personally grew up with, and looking at them as an adult!
Hello friends! I genuinely love this game, and that’s without any nostalgia attached to it! It's a shame it's one of the least-viewed videos on my channel because I really enjoyed the graphics and story. The only drawback for me was the platforming sections
Played this game on emulator. The crazy texture warping made me think the emulator is broken and doesnt work correct. Turns out that's just the game itself.
i ended up liking the final fantasy move... 15 years after it released i watched it lmao it was basically the same story as 7 but sexes were reversed, as i recall
OMG I played this game waaay back when I didnt know english. Thank you for this video you brought back so many memories (mostly of me typing in google translate to get a clue of what's happening)
I'm always pleased how you improuve on every upload and how informative they are. I'm pretty sure the two headed boss you show is heavely inspired by the Yin Yang from ff7. Plus you can clearly see the inspiration from some heartless too in the monsters designs.
you have a lovely voice, and your enthusiasm for the games is infectious :D i played circle for 5 minutes and hated it last year, you kinda convinced me to give it another try xD
I had the original unlisted video in my “Watch Later” playlist, and never got around to watching it. I left a like and a view on both the original and this video. I also just subscribed so I can check out your other videos as I like what I have watched so far (I’m about 4 minutes in)! I’m also leaving a comment to help you out in the algorithm. Glad I found this new reupload! I’m binge watching a lot of horror game reviews to get in the mood for Halloween at the end of the month.
To add, sorry about the old video having lost its video quality after you had 12,610 views over its 5 year lifespan, thus having to unlist it. I hope this reuploaded video will do well in the algorithm. I can confirm that the quality on this video is MUCH better. Love the commentary though regardless!
@@locogamingrocker5014 Thank you so much for checking it out! Once I saw what happened to the original, I couldn't allow it to stay up on public settings. I'm more concerned about people being able to actually see the content of the video, than the views it gets (although that was nice, too lol).
It was really screwing with me because I was like I know for a fact I've seen this video from you before in fact I think this was one of the like first three videos from you I saw
I recently discovered how bad the video quality was in the original, and I don't know what happened. I know for a fact I didn't upload it looking like that.
I really love Obscure I & II. I played Obscure II with my mum and sister when I was 7. We played it 2 players mode. I played Obscure I with my sister when I was 16. I remember our strategy for survival, one player ventures forward, avoids enemies, while the other stands next to the door we came in from. In case the venturing player is about to get hit by a monster, the one standing at the door opens it to avoid that XD
God, I completely forgot you clipped that oui oui baguette thing and that we played it together. It's been so long since then. Always happy to watch (or rewatch) your underrated vids man.
No, you're not going crazy. This is indeed a reupload. Somehow, RU-vid butchered the video quality on the original, so I reuploaded it in its original quality. Thank you for patience, I'll try not to make this a regular occurance, so long as RU-vid doesn't butcher the quality on any more of my videos.
I always felt a lot of the old Xbox games were ahead of their time. Brute force and Section 8 are great examples. Imagine a Brute Force game with proper multiplayer, online support and a modern approach to the gameplay and visuals. Naturally a complete overhaul of graphics would be needed, but it would make for a great party game.
I Will Love to See a Brand-New Vector man 3 Best Gaming Series 2.5D Model Gameplay and Techno Science Fiction Music Background Also Brand-New Power Up Items Best Transformation Vector Man Machine Will Be Awesome as Possible Do it SEGA Make Me Proud as a Vector man Fans Love This Remarkable History Well Done 💚💯
Very nice vid. Ive been playing Vectorman for years now (legit), and I can beat it on insane difficulty, in under an hour, deathless. It IS a tough game, but its a very learnable one. Vectorman 2...is fine I guess, but its a jumbled mess by comparison, has way fewer bosses, the music's nowhere near as good, level progression seems random and some of the stages just aren't memorable, and some stages really took a big graphical downhaul. Some stages though, are good, but only a set few, and the lighting-gimmick's not bad, V2 has genuinely pretty cool lighting. As for the morphing abilities, theyre just...there. Oh, and the endboss sucks, how do you go from a tyrannical robot lord with a nuclear warhead for a head...to a spider queen? Very lame. V2 is a good game, but a bad sequel, imo. I always saw Vectorman 3 advertised in 3d, and it looked like absolute garbage. I'm glad it was cancelled, for one. Me, I wouldve made a 2.5d Vectorman 3 for Saturn, too, if I were to make it a trilogy. Hopefully though, we'll get a proper Vectorman 3, via Sega and/or indie devs, its the age of classics making a comeback, so there is hope!
"I'm just glad they're paying attention to something other than Sonic." I would like to remind everyone that Yakuza is a SEGA IP and, if we want to get real technical, ATLUS is owned by SEGA so there's also Persona and Megami Tensei as a whole as well. I dunno, this comment near the end of the video just seems oddly dated for a video released in 2024 and out of place to say in general.
Oh boi ! Now that's a good way to wake up, new MMG video, learning they are remaking JSRF and that my favourite joke made the cut in final product. Very good as always, just FYI, please put some outline on your text and drop shadows in the future, had issues reading your footage source for the Sonic games. I'm proud of all the progress you're making in your creations. Big smooches and hugs <3
Played the heck out if this one as a kid. The first three levels Id always use four controllers to spawn in confed marines who I always thought were cool
Thank God I had the GBA SP (Original GBA was so GOD AWEFUL if you didn't have good lighting, made nighttime play horrid! I was happy my mom who got me the GBA original got me the SP upgrade, had to give my old GBA, but it was a trade worth it in the end....feel bad for my younger cousin though! Ma gave it to him as a present and a bribe to her sister, my aunt and his mother to get the rest of the money to get MY SP! So felt like Ma ripped her off! My cousin can suck it, he sucks to everyone, but my aunt is my favorite of all my aunts and uncles! She even bought me my PS2 in the past and helped me out with getting the Switch Oled last year, I had some of the money, she gave me extra for doing some work for her around her house, work she had wanted my COUSIN to do! Me and him are around the same age, currently 37/Me and 36/Him, That was last year so 36/Me & 35/Him! Frankly it's sad I'm the only one who still calls her every Friday to check up on her, his younger brother who is 32 still keeps SOME contact, but out of fairness, he's just starting his family as his son was born last year and unlike his brother, me and him are cool, gave him my SP back in the day when I got good grades in school to get extra allowance to upgrade to the DS, so since I wasn't using the SP, I gave it to him, his older brother is a twat and it sucked they had to SHARE my old GBA! Boy did THAT make him mad, thankfully it was at ME as I can handle him and we live MILES apart so all he can do is just SNEER at me on the phone LOL! He doesn't have the excuse his little brother has as like me, he's single and has no kids! Funny how their dad sucks, but the younger brother who now LOOKS like their dad is LEAGUES better then both his older brother and dad! He still keeps SOME contact with my aunt) DS was annoying to, especially as I went through THREE of the fuckers because the "Clasp" that holds both screens when you open and close broke EACH FUCKING TIME till the DSi fixed it (well one really, the second had the PRONGS where you insert the game ripped out by my PIECE OF SHIT younger brother who is disowned, bastard was a Serial liar & unrepentant Thief so nothing lost, he wasn't disowned for that, it's just one of his PAST crimes; And the third DS was busted up by my baby brother cousin from his father's side, same age as him. Baby brother was sorry for that as I only let his cousin touch it and that point made me distrust ANYONE from his father's side, frankly my stepdad was a POS to EVERYONE, including baby brother, but ESPECIALLY me for no god damn reason other then his sperm never made me! Note that even being his son means nothing! He's a selfish prick and I'm happy he's suffering now AWAY from all of us, Especially baby brother who's disowned him! Not wrong his family actually suck as my baby brother has told me since last I heard from them 18 years back after that DS incident! I frankly was without a HANDHELD for YEARS as I couldn't get a replacement till the DSi came out......and that was FOUR YEARS AFTER THAT INCIDENT! Had to sell ALL my GBA games as the DSi was when Nintendo went "no more backwards compatibility.....PLEASE let the Next thing after the Switch OLED not be the same! Let it be like the PS5 that upscales PS4 games into PS5 or PS4 PRO! I love Backwards Compatibility ESPECIALLY if they upgrade the game of the last systems quality! I'm okay if it's ONLY the last Gen that apply, but having none just STINKS! Makes it take LONGER for me to move on to the next system because I only will move on if I find FIVE games for it worth getting it to play! Backwards Compatibility decreases that number to Two games EXCLUSIVE to the system mind you). But man do I not like some of Nintendo dumber choices....though it's equally my fault for going in Half Cocked (Bought the Switch Lite when it came out, regretted it till I got the OLED, sold it to buy ALOT more Switch games! Decided NEVER to buy the "Lite" version ever again, that shit was like the GBA Mini! BAD IDEA! I thought Might as well buy handheld only, and then Joycon drift LAUGHED at me as I realized without the ability to change the controllers cheaply even if they cost as much as a NEW GAME. This was a STUPID purchase! OLED made me realize having the option to play Handheld OR on TV was the right choice to do! I'm going to be smarter with my game system purchases from now on. Should have learned back with the GBA to GBA SP, but I guess time made me get cocky! Nice to have a REAFFIRM)
Yeah I agree with you on the "Last of Us Part 2" thing! I get you hated the games story and characterization, but dudes and dudettes! Seriously, learn to fucking seperate your critisims abit! Seriously always find some idiot who hates a game/movies soundtrack and declare it's a SIN ON MANKIND for existing. and gives me a laugh when you see how HARD their trying to find justifcation in the other departments! I'm a Fire Emblem fan and Engage got this treatment too! Story was average, but it got torn to shreds because the "story wasn't GREAT" like they kept ignoring that Three Houses villains were also "Saturday Morning Cartoon Villains" by their own words, yet they claim them BETTER then Engage's for the simple fact that "they hate Engage and have to STAN for Three Houses....despite no one dissing Three Houses till they started this trainwreck of an arguement on which is better" I LOATHE this behavior right up there with the "Superman vs Batman" for ruining comics because now writers and comic book idiots are focused on "Superhero vs Superhero or Heroes going bad" stories that it's AMAZING to find a "FUCKING SUPERHERO VS SUPERVILLAIN" story! Those others aren't bad....when done in moderation same as the "Multiverse/Time Travel" story plots. But they don't do it and wonder WHY it's going stale! I will be fair that Engage DOES have it's issues! (Not enough to deserve the hate, but I guess when "big name" youtubers make a comment or joke at a games expense. Assholes will CLING to them and claim "Their on the winning side" to anyone trying to reasonably debate as though their a "end of debate I WIN" strategy when their NOT! I can respect many of these youtubers. But I don't CLING to their every word as gospel or ALWAYS being correct! They have their opinions, I have mine! I just hate those who act like their point is 100% valid and you have no right to speak against them just cause "subscribers" Sorry five years back I dealt with some idiot who's ONLY respond to me and someone who sided with me in a reply chain to them was to go to our Profile and bring up our subscriber count compared to theirs like it somehow invalidated our arguments and supported HIS! I last checked his profile, he continues to lose his once 5,000 subscriber base he loved to flaunt and show off and keeps DIPPING. I'm petty in ENJOYING how Karma works.....and how Subscribers work in that they can change on a dime and you can gain and lose them over anything really, never commented to him again, but it did give me a laugh as I said because I love when assholes CLING to something fragile despite being TOLD such and learning the hard way that "It is indeed Fragile") But the point I'm pointing out is like the Last of Us Part 2, they condemn it for it's story that THEY hated 100% and believe that means there isn't a redeemable thing in it! I saw the gameplay of Last of Us 2, hell those who say the game story was bad said GAMEPLAY WAS FUCKING GOOD AS IT'S ALWAYS BEEN, Hell better then the first, yet they can't take their eyes off the story to judge it properly. Or they take the "It's like Dark Souls" lazy approach and just say "Story Bad, that is all" to get out of EXPLAINING why they think it's a bad game! Like we don't have GREAT games that got a Game of the Year nomination or WON THEM while having at least ONE average to bad thing on them! Like Great Gameplay and Music, Average/Poor Story, Or Average Gameplay, but Great Story! Or even Average EVERYTHING but the music! Hell I have GAMES that I thank GOD they have a Skip Cutscene Button to them even IF I love the story because sometimes I just want to GAME or move forward! (It's what I dislike about the Main Persona games, all they give you is a fast forward, slowing the game's PACING if you've already seen the cutscenes and know them by heart and aren't interested in re-viewing them again when their fresh in your mind) I just assumed their talking shit just to feel important or "be on the right side of history" or whatever by repeating like their a DAMN PARROT other people's points....what I like about reviewers/reviews like this where the reviewer isn't copying "word for word" other people's homework (At least TRY to not repeat the same lines the other guy used word for word at least! Like if they said "FUCK THIS GAME" just say "FREAK THE HELL OUT OF THIS GAME" to sound different at least!) Any way great review, hope to see more!
