Excellent retrospective. Had to sub. You covered every single part of the game in great detail. Blood Omen 2 had potential to be way better than it is. I wish at least the combat was better.

Great video! You explained the elements driving the story really nicely… for death to drive a story, that means hidden within life is there… perhaps time is really too precious to try and be eternal, instead of enjoying the moment and one day look back at the memories… melodies of life…

I'm currently playing it again with the moguri mod and it's amazing.

I played this game cuz it was free on playstation a while back and it turned into one of my favorite games ever. The combat system is a masterpiece. I think I like it more than sekiro when you combine all the elements together. The parry in sekiro is second to non for me but when you bring in the dodges, combos, weapons and skills from Sifu I think it has Sekiro beaten but that's just my opinion. Also the training area for Sifu is miles better.

My favorite game of all time, it literally changed the way I perceive life and reality! A true masterpiece and I cried at the very end, didn't see it coming at all and thinking back now I probably should have! 💗

Awesome video dude! I'm sure it'll get many more views, very easy to listen too as well! thanks for making it!

3 minutes in and I’m done. Dude I came here for a video game not historical social commentary

My own solution to the military operators? Stun then hack. The perfectly logical computer system only wants a set number of operators to come from each printer. It doesn't actually care who controls them. one mine outnumber Dahl's.. his all die, so hide next to the printer amnd hac kthem as they get made. Eventually, all the military operators in the area are on team Morgan, killing typhon and leaving you alone. (I mostly only bother with full takeover in the shuttle bay, for obvious reasons.)

Cool stuff, brutha mane :)

What a huge work and great quality, it`s so easy and interesting to listen to you! I can't believe this didn't blow up yet. I`m a big fan of Larian since early access of BG3, and now playing Original Sin, this video is a blessing fr. And what an inspiring story, I can't wait for the announcement of their new project. Thank you for this amazing work!

Totally agree, they did set that bar reaaaally high indeed.

I got a equally amazing game for you, Syberia 1 and 2 I'd you haven't already played them. 3rd is meh and Syberia the world before it's the latest addition to the series.

bro try godhand on ps2

I played the OG a bunch on console and pc but the remakes better and him talking just fits

Well no you walk because it's a story plot point the corruption

fyi Zoe was a baker

A 5 hour retrospective of Larian games. That's crazy commitment for a video, that's so cool. I hope Larian will notice your video !

This video deserved more views. Please keep doing this. I hope you grow by leaps and bounds.

Blood Omen 2 was my first PS2 game. I absolutely loved it then and still do. I completed Soul Reaver before it and I think Blood Omen 2 is a better game. I agree with your retrospective 100% though. I'm currently playing through the game again since it was just added to ps+ and I see what you mean. I still really enjoy the game. I own all the games and have completed them all except Soul Reaver 2. Blood Omen 2 is still my favorite and it is still fun to play imo. I appreciate your video and it's very well done . Thanks for your work making it.

I am no fighter and not an aggressive person and never engaged in MMA or fighting and i despise it. But besides all of that, this game is so brutal and just awsome to play, especially because the fighting style is based of southern china which is more direct and way better than northern style kung fu which is more acrobatic and makes it a bit boring. I do appreciate the game having an absolutely amazing story that never gets boring and the fights that never gets old, especially the sean fight that you mentioned. The wude part which means martial morality is my favorite ending, and for me, it teaches me that aggression is not the answer always, and you can forgive them for what they have done, the past was different and same as the present, they might have moved on or understood their mistakes and you can forgive them to and you dont have to seek for vengeance but rather find the reasoning if the action they have done and understand them rather than killing them which will make you inhuman and makes you even more evill than what you think. Excellent review, you have covered every important thing in the game, great job 👍.

My favorite final fantasy will always be X-2 because X was so dark, depressing, and death filled that by the time we learn what Seymour did to his mother, I couldn't even be horrified at it, I was just numb to all of it by then. X-2 remembered that you have to have joy for sorrow to really hit. If all you've ever known is pain and destruction, there's no concept of how horrendous it actually is. And yes, that does sometimes mean having a hot tub splash fight with your friends to truly feel the impact of the 1,000 words concert, fight me. IX, however, has earned its place as my favorite main number in the series. Kuja is how to do the showy, overdramatic nihilist villain correctly, Sephiroth just comes off as a whiny little $&#% and I'm pretty sure even he knows it. When Garnet grabs Zidane's knife and runs off in the cutscene to go cut her hair, I legit jumped to my feet and said, "Garnet, I swear to God if you kill yourself, I will revive you just to murder you myself!!" Over twenty years later, I still remember that moment, the passion this game made me feel. I can count on one hand the number of games that I've played in my life that have brought me to tears. The highs were never higher, the lows were never lower, and Zidane has more than earned his place as the only humanoid male figure on my shelf of strong and inspiring female heros like Wonder Woman, Ariel, Lord Maxwell, X-2 Yuna, Harley Quinn, Tiny Tina, Sailor Mercury, Xena, Princess Zelda (BOTW), and yes, Tifa Lockhart. There's just something special about a woman who can punch with the force of a nuclear explosion that chooses to open an orphanage.

Let's gooooooooooo underthemayo mentioned

As a Romanian, my biggest complaint about RE8 is how they handled the games setting. I was very excited to find out that Romania was the setting for the game, as its a country that doesnt get almost any coverage in games however they did almost nothing with it. Besides a few names being Romanian such as lady Dimitrescu and the mentioning of a few Romanian foods, plus a few other minor things here and there, the game didnt have anything to do with the setting. RE8 could have been set in any other European country and it wouldnt make any difference. No one in the game spoke Romanian nor was there any Romanian writing anywhere, The characters didn't even have any generic European accents. Which really disappointed me, I thought they'd handle it more like they did the RE4 Remake.

O the remaster of zero looks so much better because they still had the source code and the original pre rendered backgrounds. Where as remake had to be ripped from a GameCube disc this one they were able to go back with the originals and properly upscale them.

Zero is a strange game. The first time thru is so much harder because ya know no one brought the damn hook shot with them. Veronica soft locked you in a different way bc ya took all your guns to Nosferatu.

I’ll never understand why she didn’t team up with Richard. He survived the night, he’s bravo team, we find him next to Richard as Chris, and in the Wii shooters he wakes her up in the guardhouse and they team up, and it would make his death so much more impactful. Glad he got an extended showing in the remake and thanks for the shotgun Richard.

Jill was a strong female character back before it was cool. That’s probably the reason she’s so beloved, it was never forced she was already there.

Your volume mixing is very good and your voice is soothing very easy to fall asleep to 9.75/10

ok i admit that seymor the third is a bit bs, but you 100% can get anti zombie moves and you can also be more tactical by either killing your party member first or swapping them out. edit: also the dragon is a bit weird and can be bs when you dont make good use of a chronomancer, quick hit and delay attack edit2: yeah ok i now notice this review is based on a first-time kinda perspective now i see you call the best black mage in the game - kimari useless. and from a first playthrough id agree that its kinda bs and that the endgame is really awful all in all i would say that while these things suck for a frist run, ffx in its hd form has the most developed post-game out of any non-mmo final fantasy game i would say and surely the best combat to go with it

Love your Essay about my absolutely all-time-favorite (and for me still the best Final Fantasy Part). I actually replay it at the moment on my PS5 :-D Hearing you talking about TRANCE around part 1'26" I had a smile on my face. When I played it back then as a child, my usual warmup before a big battle - or when I thought a boss fight would come across - was to battle as much enemies to fill my Trance-Meter (sometimes I let my partymembers hit each other to fill the bars) and when I entered a boss battle one hit activated Trance :-) I really thought of me as a clever boy xD I still can't tell, why THIS game is my absolute all-time favourite - but you concluded all aspects in your video! That was awesome. And I bet, I'm gonna play FF9 a dozen times again, because of the deeply love I feel for it since my childhood 🙂 Even my fantasy-books (sadly only available in German on Amazon) are an inspired mix of Final Fantasy9, Tolkien, Raymond Feist and are beloved for the small callbacks or hints on FF9 by my readers. I loved to hide subtle hints or hommages and if you are confident with German language, I would love to recommend my #aeldionsaga to you. From a FinalFantasy9 lover to another 🙂

To me, while i never got to play FFX properly "as to say have a proper run of the game" it bringed me memories of my childhood when my stepbrother lived with me and used to play it on PS2 and while at the time i didn't knew what Final Fantasy was at all but the overall tropical scenery and combat left a everlasting impression in me after more than 20 years since i saw this game for the first time. The music still is to this day one of my top 5 favorites "though some of the remaster songs sounds either meh or some of the instruments feel out of place or pretty much kills the vibes that the OG has, but that's my opinion" the cast of characters are quite interesting and has what i consider to this day the most badass character in the series in terms of personality,that being Auron.

Jesus your game looks so good How the hell does one achieve that?

Brilliant fun. Appreciated.

Great channel you have here, man. Really good videos. Cheers.

Darkwatch is literally the best western game before red dead redemption 👏

I just wish there was more of it, the game is so short 😢

Crazy late to the video, but i absolutely loved it and your thoughts on martial arts. Great work!

_Mark of the Ninja_ was one of the first PC games I ever 100%ed, and when the remaster came out I bought and 100%ed that as well. I *love* this game!

LoK SR 1 and 2 remaster coming in a week, just finished a fresh playthrough and getting platinum in BO 1 and 2... figure that justifies another watch through of your series 😅

There is game called shank on the xbox 360 which have the same vibe

Blitzball is fine

A friend of mine introduced me to this game series. And I was immediately drawn in. When I had finished it all I was left with sadness, this hollow feeling in my chest. I messaged my friend and told her how much I wish there were more games out there like this. It was bittersweet finally finishing it all. I’m so very grateful that my friend gifted me the games.

Vae Vistus! I still got all my old games for PS1 and PS2. I enjoyed listening to you videos well I was at work. Playing blood omen 2 on ps5 now waiting on those remasters not long now.

I would absolutely LOVE to see you do an in-depth retrospective on Skies of Arcadia (the original Dreamcast version, the improved Gamecube version, or both). It's easily my favorite video RPG of all time.

You got a lot of info from Dreamfall that I don't recall ever existing. Dreamfall had many giant holes in the story. Did they backtrack and fix that game?
