Hell nah man. I'm playing LEGO Star Wars II for the Xbox 360 and trying to gain all the achievements and I'm struggling harder than I ever did in actual horror games. There are achievements based on each level where you're not supposed to die once (can't have invincibility on btw). Escape from the Death Star and Cloud City Trap are two levels I'm certain I'll have PTSD from after the dementia sets in in my 80s... At least the Complete Saga has much more fair achievements
YEEEEES, a new RubyFallz banger!! Love hearing the little details you appreciate, you have a great eye for that sorta thing. The smudgy flat little representations of the next room when you open a door are like the PS2 equivalent of matte paintings in the original SW films LOL they totally hit my dopamine receptors in the exact same way. Great work as always, loved this one!
Did we talk about this very topic before because I'm having PTSD over my Lego Star Wars II DS purchase. Great video again from my favourite tulip farmer <3
This channel is quickly becoming one of my faves! I adore the chill vibes here, you really make the (relatively) short format work in a way that I don't think I've see since... I dunno, Cinemassacre Monster Madness? Anyways, great way to kick off the weekend, cheers!
reminds me when i was a kid and i would play call of duty campaign and multiplayer on ds and i also remember starwars: force unleashed too on the ds it tried to pull the epicness of the story but the hardware was just not powerful enough to give the true experience it wanted to produce like the psp or ps2 version
I loved this game back in the day. What a shame it went under the rada but I get why. The difficulty is just all over the place I liked to imagine that Stan's voice would've sounded like Chili Con carne's brain character
might be a lot unrelated but i'm both sad and furious that the arts of optimizing is dying in video games these days. computers getting faster? okay let's put thousands of vfx and polygons. not only for aesthetic's sake, but also people with comparatively poor computers like me can't even run them for 5 seconds.
A limited budget means the game companies focus on story and gameplay... or just being crazy. So instead of a pretty but vapid game... Like final fantasy X... Wow. I did NOT expect to be that much on the same wavelength.
Things like this is what makes me roll my eyes when folks act like it's a dire necessity that we get AI-generated voices and AI-made textures and supercomputers that can load quadrillion mile long worlds and ensure every aspiring dev starts using Unreal Engine 11.
absolutely loving the amusement in your voice. this game obviously brought pure delight and it made for a fun to watch video in turn. the dungeon at the end was very unexpected lol also the mc kinda reminds me of michael/ryuto from pokemon colosseum...
Okage was one of the few games I rented, because I could never find it in stores at the time. I love it to death, and regret not finishing it. Shoulda just kept the disc from Blockbuster...
Omg the whole explanation and the whole video is so good and so pure and so cute It kinda breaks my heart that I see you being so grateful for every effort that puted in the game, so many kids these days just don't care how it's made and how hard it was, they just watch play and forget idk i feel like these days kids won't understand the true meaning of these, the sad part is i don't even think they would truly enjoy they just got distracted everything is a let's-time-get-past to them, it's sad to think about it but but- but when I saw you actually caring about this stuff, it really rise my hopes in people I think there might still be people who experience and enjoy the things in the world the different way In the end I AM I'm glad to be a game dev and I'm glad that there are people who will enjoy the things I will be making in later on I'm making my game not just for myself, but for you and your happiness
as a game dev I can confirm That I have very little patience for my game and I want to make it as fast and as laziest as possible but I'm not gonna get ai assistance or someshit. I'm gonna make low poly model instead of high poly one and trying to make a new art style out of it. btw my game is racing and with zero budget I want to compete with EA Games and crush their nfs games make something 100x better
man i fuckin love okage shadow king, glad to see more people talk about it! its just good to hear people talk about obscure shit i know about or hell don't know about, if i could reccomend a game or game franchise that'd be worth checking out.. The Denpa Men series, its an RPG about little humanoid creatures you catch, you form teams with them and get the heroes Gal back. its simple but it has its charm.
I fucking love Okage: Shadow King. I still have a sealed copy of it. It's sense of aesthetics is so good. A nightmarishly cute Tim Burton-esque style fever dream.
Had a n64 first, and at our rental store they always had Okage on the shelf. I loved the look of the cover. Few years later, my now husband got it for my bday, I 100% it, still hate the water dungeon though. Got lost in it for 2 days
It may have been less about the budget and more because it was developed on early versions of ps2 hardware since it was originally intended for a different system that was cancelled. They had to completely redesign the game for the ps2, so new system and time constraints may be the main contributing factors.
When most people weren't weeb enough so 70% of the people who had played this game back in the day pronounced it "Oak-ij" lol Also the first time I played it I got 1/3rd of the way through and my memory card wasn't entirely plugged in (since my friend and I were sharing my ps2 in college) and it wouldn't let me save so I had to start all the way over, haha. If I were an animator, a Stanley Parable narrator and Okage crossover bit would be so fun.
I never heard of this game but I absolutly love how it looks, and it seems the exact type of game I'd love to play. I'll definitly try to find a way to play it someday !
Makes me think of Tim Burton from what little of his stuff I'm aware of. Basically I've walked through a room when Coraline was on and I've played KH1 and a bit of 2.
I'm so glad someone mentioned this game. I always mention how great it is. I agree with you the game is perfect. The humour is great. You forgot the humour. I have never found such a quirky fun game since.
