Wizardry 8 Review | Extreme™ Roleplaying™ 

Oh shit waddup

fuckin' Sock Accounts!

Nice! Now we only need for uber and IH to comment and we have the whole party together!

How do you feel about your voice actor?

Oh no, more people, they just keep coming.. and coming. I'm getting stressed.

You are mum

Ah yes i love a spoon of insanity in the morning

Hello uberdonger i always thought you and sseth have a lot in common great to see you here

@@KeanoMUFC1 They know each other for like 6 years

@@Rhis2137 cool

Voice acting is king in this game! I was thinking about doing a remake after being able to extract the voices and making them usable in Unity. But too bad licensing issues stand in the way. This game just deserves a sequel.

@@nathanielguggenheim5522 It deserves a remake, but the IP is in Japan now. Ironically, though, Japan is one of the only video game industries I would expect to slap on tons of voice-acted content on to a niche game like this today.

@@nathanielguggenheim5522 just do it, and release it, but don't tell anyone about it. That is what gets people, is them talking about it online.

@@nathanielguggenheim5522 really? People care about lisencing for games this old so much that they'll actually pursue someone not making enough to pay what lawyers would cost them to pursue it? Disappointing. Went into the comments after watching the video to see if there's a remake as this game really seems to deserve it based on Seth's summary.

@@wachtwoord5796 yeah. I contacted the Lead Designer and she told me most voice actors licensed for this specific game only... so the voices are theirs. So if any money is involved at some point, people may come for it. And honestly, making a remake for free as a hobby is impossible even in these days. Game is just too big. So I would have to involve some crowd funding along the way.

Thanks. I am now unable to hear that in any other way, shape, or form.

Admiral Akbar has been notified.

Astolfo 👀

pretending it wouldn't like that

Thanks for being the funniest comment I've seen on yt. What a laugh.

Time to redo your channel intro

Thank you for making the Adam Warski song. You did a great service to mankind, ser.

It’s so perfect.

XD

You? Here? What.

And that's beautiful...

three.times some would say

With an ego so large, only one entity cannot do

You mean thrice

DudeWat Are you saying he has an ego?

My fucking sides are in orbit

@They Live! Again. Well Ken's love for futanari elves is well-documented.

Well this got much more popular than I expected it would lmao

@@Ritokure what a based lad

Chaotic good in a nutshell.

Thats just the adhd I can relate to him

"to fund hentai of obscure video game characters" hold up what? When did he do that?

@@lesshumanmoredead See his "God Hand" review. He's commissioning a lot of artists to draw r18 fanart of the game's heroine, and shared it by giving the link in the video description for us.

Basically of Thanos and Adam Warlock played D&D.

I didn't know i needed a Sseth Friday DnD game in my life

I am autistic like the rest of us but does he play dnd with Ken Ashcorp or is that just a meme?

@@a_thunderous_hound if he do, I sure as shit didn't knew about it, an would love a link to it ^^

@@a_thunderous_hound Sseth doesnt, but Mandy does.

@@StrikeWarlock not with Ashcorp tho, with the PST

I mean this is the thing Wizardy was famous for. And it bleed to their other famous game series, Jagged Alliance

@@Myrth1 Yeah, but the idea was brilliant. Pre-generated personalities for player generated characters.

Things have deteriorated so drastically in the past 2 decades since this was released that your shock at its manifest and bespoke quality saddens me. This wasn't even that top tier of a game back then but I still got it on release anyway.

@@ciscornBIG I have discovered a really cool old gane called Drakengard and since then I want to play more old games, you seem to know a lot about it so please recommend me some good ones!

@@Myrth1 Jagged Alliance 2's merc banter will forever go down as probably the best in all gaming for me.

you are right

Who’s that?

Holy shit you're totally right!

When she yelled TALKING TO A CHIPMUNK i felt that.

Sseth's in-game Mandalore is just Brick Haus.

The strange case of Doctor Mandalore and Mr. Sseth.

@@MinscFromBaldursGate92 which is kind of amazing, because Sseth apparently is a doctor or some shit? Medical professional at the very least

these days it couldn't hurt.

@@Killibum yeah.

This aged poorly

There are 214 forms of girls now sooo

@@user-ei6qn1db7b Indeed. Seeing as how I only posted this 1 year and 4 months ago, I’d say it *barely aged… at all.*

Married in 2012. Irrelevant.

@@karry299 No it isn’t. Does her being married suddenly means she didn’t design and direct the game? Like…I’m asking this non-rhetorically: what is the difference? I know these comment sections bring out the worst because it’s Sseth and we’re not supposed to say it but this comment in particular makes no goddamn sense

​@thefoxoflaurels3437 The point isn't saying she didn't make the game, the point was that she wasn't married to John when she made it. The married part was what was specifically redundant there. The rest of the tidbit was neat.

@@thefoxoflaurels3437 It really does bring out the worst: people like you. Getting butthurt after misinterpreting comments.

Limitations breed creativity. John was a superstar and not given enough of them. Scope creep made him its bitch.

Where have u heard that before

@@crookedginger Can't tell if you're serious, but Futurama

Which warhammer video?

@@matthewboan616 total war 2, dark elves

Wait that's not one of the voices you can pick from the game?

@@T0mN7 You found the joke :)

Sseth has been in a few episodes actually.

Every time a new movie or video game gets announced

Prepare the flamethrower, just in case things get... spicy.

Because it's a fantasy game. In a perfect world men like him do not exist, I guess it's a perfect fantasy world.

But we're going to battle, we need his strongest potion!

Holy shit, you could actually make a party with the potion seller, the traveler and the 3 perfect world guys (str, int, agl) and it would be perfect!

@@TheFaqvideos But this is not a perfect world.

There's a lawful/good voice for males that I'm absolutely in love with and if I ever got into animating/game design I'd love to use him. "By my honor I swear I'll protect you!" Such a precious boy he is.

Boooooooooo

How are you not verified? I had to go check to make sure it was you.

I assumed you fell off the earth, but youtube just stopped putting your songs in my sub box 3 years ago.. Good to know, thanks YT.

What is this video!? We are not supposed to have heaven and hell on earth for another 4 months!

wtf you're my waifu

Ken! How do you feel about Sseth making you unhinged in his party?

The power of the merchant guild in action.

@StewieCman You can take the shekels, but can you please not do another 9/11?

The same thing happened for synthetik legion Rising, the devs were about to hang themselves and Seth basically came and not only cut the ropes but also converted the stools into golden chairs.

It should be the GOG screen since most of the games he reviews are old as dirt.

@@mr2octavio wtf, what was happening?

Ken Ashcorp is one of his personalities?

@@haikuheroism6495 now he is

@@haikuheroism6495 The two sides of a toxic relationship with Winnie the Pooh

The MandaloreGaming and Sseth universes acknowledging each other is freaking me out.

@@harkavianbalvis6623 Where did mandalore do that? I need to see :D

Try playing Wizardry 4. After beating and continuously exporting your party from Wiz 1->3. In 4 you play AGAINST the party you were developing for the past 3 games as a villain, and all the cards ever are stacked against you and the game hates your guts and wants you to kill yourself IRL.

@@SinaelDOverom Wizardry 4 is digital masochism. It's not even fully an RPG - you don't get combat XP, you only level up when you go to the next level. You have to rely on your summons to be your meatshield in combat. You need to be intimately familiar with Wizardry's spell effects to even escape the first chamber. And if you loiter around in the same place for too long, an instakill ghost might wander onto your tile and just kill you, no saves. Wizardry 4 is absolutely, unapologetically cruel.

Fun is a buzzword

Personally I was sold on the Jiggle physics

​@@JarlFrank that's not even scratching the surface either. the very first room you start in cannot as no door exists, has random encounters and tells you nothing about what to do. You can die before you figure out you need to summon monsters to help you using the symbol on the ground. After you figure that out, you realize you are trapped in the first room with no door, wandering in a circle aimlessly until you die from random encounters. Only by playing the previous titles would you realize you need to cast Milwa(light) to see invisible doors, but wait, you don't even have that spell? Turns out you need to summon the trash mob priests as one of your summons, and hope it uses light in a random encounter, and THEN you can see the door to exit the room. ALL of that just to leave room one. After which you can still just be absolutely destroyed if you picked bad mobs to summon, and then need to restart from step one. On top of that you have, instant kill crits that can end your game in the blink of an eye, the absolutely convoluted puzzles that require absurd knowledge of the first 3 games, enemies that can PERMANENTLY STEAL key items, a keypress counter that kills you if you reach a certain number of key strokes in a save file, the fact that enemy parties can just outright have the spell tiltowait(nuclear blast) and instagib your team in a random encounter, the fact that you need to remember each spell by name and type them in like an incantation to use them, and many more terrifyingly unfair things too. Wiz 4 killed the series in japan too, where it was extremely popular and still is considered influential to the game industry there, since the obtuse knowledge required combined with the poor translation went way over their heads and made the game actually impossible to complete. Though this did lead to some hilarious situations where the japanese players thought the goofy monster names and pop culture references were actually cool edgy foreign words that mean serious business, giving the whole game an entirely different feeling to the more lighthearted nature that is implied.

If it WALKS ... I can CHANGE THAT.

Dennis Lief it’s like they were passionate enough and willing to put enough effort into it to hire more than 4 people!

It really is. These guys did Jagged Alliance 2, too. Another example of tons of personality and love poured into a product.

It sounds like the VAs were allowed to have fun with their lines to. Gives it that extra oomph.

Fuck me for knowing that line and knowing exactly what song it's from, FUUUUUUCK

@@anonymousbloke1 Where it is from?

Maybe he can help me get what I want...

@@TheStupidwolf1 ken ashcorp - absolute territory don't ask why I know that.

@@geoffdb8118 this sounds horrible ;

Thats just plain bs. Nothing of this ever happend to me in 99999 runs.

@@nathanielguggenheim5522 You are right. Mixed it up. The game I meant was "Dungeon Lords" by David Bradley (Wizardry series). Sorry.

@@dwargrim then, uhh edit or delete your original comment ?

Tumormancer

Bro, Kenny’s voice is also spot on

I've never been happier to see a reference in a video.

How well is the return?

We do see them in the same party here in this game. And a party of characters modded to look and be called like several other RU-vidrs is definitely all the proof we need. :^)

My guess is that they are Siamese twins..that take turns chloroforming each other

There's also the fact their videos never overlaps

symbal of the dank godz secondary channel you say that but even worse, everyone uses shadowrun Returns music yet no one has reviews

Now that you mention it.. Ive never seen sseth and space hitler in one room. OH FUCK. Well, call me epstein, because we all know what the merchants guild will do to me now.

It's kind of like how Hunter S. Thompson used to do it: nothing factual, nothing even resembling it, but the spirit of it is spot on

And the answer is YES!

I can personally vouch for his Space Station 13 videos. A friend and I played it because of his video and our escapades were quite entertaining. I killed a man while trying to attach his new robotic leg because I didn't know how to roboticist and because the vict...patient agreed to my inexperienced hands doing surgery, meanwhile my friend the clown was kidnapped by a mime, locked in a bathroom and swirlied to death.

Other than the fact that he is using comparisons to dragon ball, it's accurate. Just to get to the first town it also takes like 3-4 hours on your first...second... third.. well you'll be restarting a lot.

Its been about 14 years since I last played it, but from what I can recall, Sseth is pretty spot on. ESPECIALLY concerning the difficulty. Every monster levels one for one along with your party with no level caps and many (most?) start above first level so they will ALWAYS be higher level than your party.

I love that the singer is the one with the most abrasive voice.

My favourite easter egg in this video by far

@eagle PHD we know, its an in-joke

timestamp?

Is that really the game voice acting!?! I wasn't sure because but holy 💩 it's pretty damn good!

@@dsandoval9396 Certainly, party members respond to all manner of stuff, based on their personalities. They also sometimes react to each other. Sseth only customized the portraits. The sound design in Wiz8 is generally superb.

Sirtech way of handling banter is awesomesauce.I have played heck out of JA2 and still do, the merc banter is just so expansive.

dragon's dogma

The "Tales of" games have a lot of fun party banter too.

I cant unhear her. Its perfect

I can imagine a trillion better timelines. One of them is everyone being dead. Sseth is the one thing that keeps this from being one of the darkest timelines. When do the government lizard aliens reset the simulation? Its been like 80 years or something since the last time.

Sseth and Mr. Bean.

Where is their stream of the game?

Imagine making a bunch of stock photos for some side cash but since you're not a professional model or anything they come out awkward because keeping a smile for hours on end, turns out it's hard. This leads to you becoming a meme and later on people just associate your likeness not to you but to an Australian archiver of the world wide area network. If that doesn't make Harold's nickname accurate, I don't know what does.

@@MrLCGO There is a ted talk with the guy on youtube somewhere. I think he is a retired engineer from hungary. Its not a bad shot, he pretty much looks like that all the time. He is pretty cool about being a meme though.
