Gothic II Classic | Piranha Bytes Best (No NotR)
Переглядів 1,5 тис.6 місяців тому
Let's Play: ua-cam.com/video/qfhLL-GsBPU/v-deo.html Yet, another ramble. About one of my favorite CRPGs of all time next to Ultima VII: Gothic II Classic. WITHOUT Night of the Raven. Gothic II released in 2003 in NA, being pretty much the same game with some extra skills to learn, and two whole, open-ended maps to explore and lose yourself in. Gothic II is Piranha Bytes best game, with great ch...
Might and Magic's Spin Off Game Which Still Holds Up

The 4:3 aspect ratio is because I played this on a 4:3 1600x1200 LCD monitor. Streamed at www.twitch.tv/voidbrand VOD archived at: ua-cam.com/video/cm6oSDaWu4M/v-deo.html Here I ramble about Arkane Studio's first game: Dark Messiah of Might and Magic. Released in 2006, I find Dark Messiah still holds up rather well, and is an absolute blast to play. While I didn't really play the mainline Might...
Gothic I | Immersive Prison Adventure
Переглядів 1,9 тис.8 місяців тому
Just a video on Gothic I where I literally ramble about it for about 17 minutes. Developed by Piranha Bytes and published by Xicat Interactive in North America, Gothic I and its sequel are some of the best CRPGs released, and a lot of people consider the first two Gothic games as Piranha Bytes best entries. I didn't play Gothic I first when it came out, Gothic II was actually my first game. I s...

System Shock Remake Review | A Shockingly Good Remake
Переглядів 3,2 тис.Рік тому
A System Shock Remake review of a game that is almost 30 years old now. Old school fans of System Shock would be happy to know that the remake is a 1:1 in almost every way. Might be a little too faithful some would say, so no quest log on your screen telling you where to go or a waypoint on the navigation bar, at least on normal mission mode. A very good remake I'm hoping to replay sometime in ...

    The Japanese PS1 port of this game has a complete text translation now. It's the same game, but with controller support and a slightly different look. Might be a more accessible way for some people, as there are some real benefits to playing on a controller, among other enhancements.

    I don't mind watching different videos covering the same topic. Especially if they're at least longer than 45 minutes. Retrospectives are evergreen, and are very important snapshots of history.

  • @vorpal22

    I absolutely LOVED Ultima VII, and I got it on release weekend. I had endless trouble getting it to run because it wasn't known that it crashed on 386SX computers (it ran on 386DX). I still played it through even though it would crash about ever 20 minutes or so. That being said, I disagree with your assessment of quest markers being a detriment to games: I'm 46 now, I have ADHD, and it's incredibly easy to forget what my next objective in a game is if I even take a couple days off. Gaming is my favorite hobby but I have so much more occupying my brain space these days that I can't necessarily remember who told me to go where and talk to who about what... I'm playing the Trails series of games now, and I'm very thankful for quest markers.

    Just found your videos because I was on an Origin nostalgia kick and thanks for your effort. You made some great retrospectives, and you have a very pleasant voice to listen to. Your videos always felt like a celebration of the games you covered, warts and all, instead of just constant, tiring grievances. Good luck in everything, and thanks for the great videos!

    This is my first comment ever in youtube, even though i've consumed videos more than i can count! I was looking today some nostalgic playthrough- or review-videos about Ultima underworld and found your gem of a channel! Wow you really nailed it all - especially I highly enjoyed your episode on Ultima VIII, which pretty much hit the sweetest nostalgic spot of gaming history in my life. I've played a great deal of different games, but for some reason Ultima 8 and Syndicate have been shining stars - my big brother still plays UW and U8 :D Anyhow, i totally get you and wish the very best luck in your future! Competition in youtube is harsh, but you are a rare game and these videos will live forever :)

    I really like your let’s plays you have a calming voice perfect to listen to while I’m painting Warhammer . Which is rare in the chaos of twitch streamers. It’s also nice chatting to you live . Unfortunately, I’ve not been able to catch any of your life broadcast as UA-cam never tells me and I believe you don’t do twitch anymore .

      Hey thanks. I just haven't streamed in general in a few months. I'm looking to do it on UA-cam instead of Twitch. And it's probably going to be on a whim instead of consistent scheduling. Definitely want to stream something for October.

    You seem like a nice guy. Creativity isn't a persistent force for most people. Don't be discouraged by the fact that making videos doesn't engage you right now, it happens to everyone that makes things.

    I had a Gravis Gamepad, but I always used it with the Stick, while my sister would take off the stick while playing Fighting games like Mortal Kombat. I actually honestly wish it had a Thumbstick now. I was too much of an Arcade kid, so I liked using a stick rather than a pad. Actually now that I think about it, my sister would play Fighting games in the Arcade against others, but would use the D-Pad at home. Also she was really good until she got into High School and declared that Video Games were for babies, and stopped!

    To be honest, I didn't know you had a Let's Play channel, so that's a definite subscribe. It's a bit of a shame that you don't intend to do anymore reviews. They were fun to watch, and I appreciated them, but I understand that a lack of motivation can suck the life out of any project. Nonetheless, I do hope you get back into reviews one day, even if it is years from now.

    I found your channel about a year ago because of your Ultima Underworld review. Actually, i might have been your review on that Unity port (now Godot) of UW that lead me here. But then i stayed for the rest of the reviews. Ultima being one of my favourite series, i always like seeing and hearing others reviews on it... especially the controversial ones like Ultima 8 heh. That review had me wanting to revisit it myself to see if my option has changed at all on it. It wasn't my favourite but i do understand people who started out on that game would have a different opinions. But i digress... i'll miss the reviews. I do agree with you on video editing. When i started my channel, i learned video editing just by throwing myself at it. And now i kinda like doing it for the games i play, the outdoorsy and drone footage i take that pepper my channel now. Thanks for taking the time to share your options on these games on your channel!

    I'm just another person saying I've really liked your stuff, especially your coverage of the Ultima series. And that doesn't change whether you make 10 videos a week or never make another one. Though there's been an upsurge in video essayists covering 80s/90s/early2000s PC gaming, I do feel like it's always gotten short shrift compared to video games. (There's room for both, to be sure.) Will check out your VODs.
