There is something about these obscure PS2 games that I find comforting. It reminded me of a time when you would see these types of games in blockbuster all the time and acted as a good last minute rental in case something like God of War 2 went out of stock.
@@samljerIt's funny you mention that because I was looking at my collection just last night and said to myself that from Sega, PS1, PS2, and 64 through to even the Wii seemed like they were all fun and had loads of memories. However PS3 up to Xbox One and PS4 and 5 all seem like graphics graphics graphics with gameplay second. Over the years it seems like they've innovated so much but in doing so they've lost quite a bit of charm.
@@MiBrCo4177 just look at the dead space remake, praised for it's graphics, worse then the original in terms of animation and sound design. People legit don't care for gameplay
@@MGrey-qb5xz That's just pure hyperbole, people still do care about game play. We look more fondly about games from our past, it's just nostalgia, there's nothing wrong with that but to say that game's today aren't as good is just wrong. There are plenty of games that are gameplay first and graphics second. Plus, IMO if anything the 5th generation (PS1, Saturn, N64) was the worst when it came to putting graphics over gameplay. Since everyone was completely focused on 3D and polygons. People back then would completely ignore amazing 2d games simply because they weren't 3D. Sony had a rule for a while that they only wanted 3d games on their system, obviously that went away quickly but shows how focused the industry as a whole were on graphics at the time. IMO, it was much worse back then, and even out a bit the next few generations but it still till took a while for 2D games were seen as worthwhile (outside of handhelds).
Project ARMS?! Oh crap, this got a game?! Man, that had one of the best panel pages I've ever seen where the MC's mom gets held hostage by a gunman. He does the typical "I don't know how to solve this!" thing. Then his mom tells him, "Oh sweetie.... didn't your father teach you not to panic in situations like these?" Followed by her whipping a gun out of nowhere and blasting her hostage taker away like a boss.
Fun fact about Daemon Summoner : at one point, you're captured and locked inside an insane asylum. Your wife is there too, but you have no weapons, and there is a werewolf prowling around. You have to do a long sidequest with a ghost, helping him to retrieve his body and finding the necessary items to make silver bullets so you can kill the werewolf, which puts the ghost to rest. As a thanks, he opens a door to a room with weapons you can use to fight your wife. Oooor you can pick up a lantern and toss it at her face to clear the level in like two minutes. Also, the final boss can turn invisible... but your reticle still turns red when aiming at it, so it's no big deal. I heard the game was done in THREE MONTHS. I don't know if it's true, but it would explain a lot.
If you want to get into Garo, there's: -Three main series -Two series that take place in an alternate universe -Main series has a bunch of movies -Alternate universe has it's own movie -Two spin-offs -Alternate universe series has a spinoff -Bunch of specials -Three anime series (one had a movie) -And a self contained series that ended a couple of years ago Have fun.
I watched all of it. It's not too bad if you like Toku Rider Sentai bullshit like me. It tries to be more rated R adjacent but I'd say more for teens? I dunno. Japan's culture allows for some unique things. Anyway, the OG series is pretty cool. I had no idea this had a PS2 game.
The first night of my study abroad in Japan I turned on the TV in the business hotel and the last episode of the first season of Garo was playing. Naked demon ladies flying around? I had no fucking clue what was going on but I liked it.
Fun fact: Zaruba (The talking skull ring from Garo) is voiced by Hironobu Kageyama, best known for his work on the Japanese Dragon Ball Z intros, as well as being the current leader of JAM Project (Who also do Garo's intros). 1:02:25 This fight is in the show and looks just as awesome there. There's official Blu-Rays for the original series, the two follow-up movies, and the sequel series, Makai Senki (Usually listed online as "Season 2"). There's a bunch of spinoff anime about different characters in different time periods Funimation/Crunchyroll distribute, too.
Garo is an awesome show. Darker Tokusatsu for adults. Highly recommended. I also appreciate that the game has the skyscraper fight with Zero as a boss fight. That scene was insane in the show.
Yeah, it was like "look, Hollywood, we can do an cooler action scene with 1/100 of the budget". The fighting scenes in the series in general are really good.
*Project ARMS* (the manga was originally titled just *ARMS* ) is some amazing sci-fi action nonsense with great mechanical and monster design, although the game is just an okay beat-em-up. It does have a full vs mode, though, iirc. The series made a decent impact in Japan, but it was never more than a cult hit in English. And yes, all the villains are clones of a dude named Keith. *Buccaneer* is indeed a Simple 2000 game, but it seems to be one of the more playable ones.
I actually know quite a bit about Garo. its actually a super cool tokusatsu series. Like... an adult-focused Kamen rider. Basically, the weird skull ring is Zaruba. They are a horror-detecting ring. Horrors are basically demons that kill people and posess their bodies. Makai knights have armors and kill these horrors to help humanity. I think all the Horrors (the moth horror, chain horror, and the gooey armor monster, etc.) all appeared on the very first season. The red timer is because the Golden Knight Garo armor can only be activated for a very limited amount of time.
Fans can take comfort in knowing that Garo survived the 2020 disaster and is primed for another season later in 2024. Keita Amemiya has finally put down Animal Crossing and started working again on his baby. Pity that Kraken Releasing went under though, would have loved more US Blu-rays of the live action shows.
I'm a simple man. I see Garo, I click on Garo. Matt, if you're interested in watching the show, it's a little hard to come by, but they DID release a series of Blu-Rays of the first two seasons (and all the movies) a while back. Look for something called "Garo TV Collection." Knowing your tastes, I'd definitely recommend it!
The phrasing of "Monster-turned pirates" makes me more think they were monsters first, that then decided to become pirates. Also the skulls on the loading screen for Buccaneer look like they are one photoshop away from being your character Matt lol. Garo looks pretty neat! I'm familiar with the show thanks to seeing some awesome figures and some clips online but that is about as far as I've gone lol.
Garo was a toku show created by legendary designer Keita Amemiya, who made stuff like Mirai Ninja and Zeiram. The show was about wire kung fu fighting Final Fantasy bosses to JAM Project. While "mature" so it could have blood and nudity, the writing wasn't great and came off like cosplayers LARPing. Still the action was mostly the good kind of exploitation even if the CGI is dated.
Just an FYI... The talking skull ring from Garo is voiced by Hironobu Kageyama. You might know him as the singer of pretty much the best anime themes out there.
the time limit is for your summoned armor because in lore the armor's limit to 99.9 secs otherwise the user subject to be corrupted by armor and go beserk.
sadly.... no.... Legend which happens to be on SUPER Nintendo and also a sequel (recently just found out) happens to be Raging Blades chapters to it. don't get me wrong Golden Axe Series are and should be brought back as a remaster hd collection or remake. that would be amazing.
I was so excited when I saw GARO on the list because of the skyscraper stage. That stage is beyond its time, and it is the scene that has been ingrained in my memory since I was a child playing this game.
Oh my god, Daemon Summoner. I bought that as a teen out of a bargain bin at a local supermarket and it was my first proper taste of "unplayably bad". Still own it, maybe I'll cover it one day.
I never really thought about it before, but a whole lot probably gets lost when you don't have the manual pamphlets that used to come with these older titles. They would explain some story and other things.
He also detects demons, has knowledge on how to destroy some of them and acts as support by offering battle tactics and advice during a fight. Oh, and in one alternate continuity he is the ignition key to a very metal looking motorcycle that is a repurposed demon horse because urban gothic fantasy.
There is also a Anime of it that is great, I use to own a few Dub DVDs of this anime back as a Teen, an it had some crazy moments an great action, I haven't thought about it in years.
Always love to see some obscure games I've never encountered before. 😃 Also love the feeling of validation when somebody brings up an obscure game that I have played before. Really enjoyed this video and the recent 24 Sega Genesis games video. Seems this format of taking a quick look at a bunch of games is a good fit for you.
I had no idea I wasn’t subscribed to this channel until I had to stop this video abruptly and tried to find it again. Thank Ifrit i found all this great content😘
22:01 I read a great deal of Project Arms manga a few years ago, it's peak 90's manga/anime. I liken it to Guyver only it's a bit more comprehensible. The later chapters and story get REALLY nuts
I remember getting sent to the hall because me and my friend started laughing during history class when the chariot in Ben hur movie was dragging someone behind. Don't remember anything else just for some reason 2 of us were laughing... good mems
I love how in Project Arms everyone has a superpower of some sort, or a mutation or whatever, and then there's Jenny over there whose superpower is just that she has a gun.
I loved the original GARO series, which I used to torrent from TV-Nihon when it first came out. The designs are pretty sick, since it was a Keita Amemiya series after all. It spawned into several other media including three anime series but I still loved the first series the best.
Their is an obscure PS2 game from square back in the day called radiata stories I highly suggest if you ever feel like doing more of these it has such an interesting story but has hilarious characters. there is a situation where goblins stop your party and they play a word game saying a word with the last letter of the last one and one single cell goblin on their team just keeps saying egg and losing it for them 😂
fun fact: the creator of Attack on Titan Hajime Isayama has stated that project ARMS was one of the inspirations for him to become a Mangaka I believe that Eran's attack titan form was inspired by the main character's Jabberwock transformation.
33:43 Microids? The same Microids that publishes those newer Asterix and Obelix games? And that Smurfs kart racer? And that Arkanoid Eternal Battle which is pretty fun?
"Were there not guns created yet?" One of those things people get wrong all the time is thinking that guns are super modern. The Three Musketeers are called that because they were soldiers that used muskets and that book was set in 1625. So yes, they DEFINITELY had access to gun technology in 1880's England.
ps2 library was the third person GOAT of video gaming , every single small and big company had their own engines for gaming and holy shit were they unique asf.
Man golden knight garo is an absolute blast. I imagine it would've done decent if it were translated. Garo is a tokusatsu show that has a blu ray release Project arms was a mid anime.
The anime of Project Arms is a terrible adaptation of the original manga which is pretty good and from the same illustrator of Spriggan but with a different writer.
The English Dub was the best part of the anime. They got away with some really funny lines straight out Ghost Stories while keeping the storyline/characterization faithful and nearly everyone was really well casted and voiced. RIP Kirby Morrow (Ryo), Micheal Kopsa (Kabuto), Ross Douglas (Keith Blue), and Gabe Khouth (Oscar).

I'd seen a review of Daemon Summoner from a "worst ever" series, so when I saw it here, I thought "Oh boy, he's in for a time!". You didn't get to fully experience the "wonders" of the stealth mechanic, which was probably good for you. (PS: from the same series, Space Invaders: Invasion Day, a game so bad, Taito disowned it)
Okay now do the blocky Xbox next. Would be interesting to see what unknown games you have not played on that system. But hell looking at Raging Blades i need to play it.
Interesting choices to have you decide which god you worship and who gives you real, testable powers in Ben-Hur, adapted from the 1880 book Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ, in which the 2016 film apparently features Jesus even more prominently than the 1959 original. I can't help but feel like a polytheistic divine magic loadout might be, just a little, missing the point.
You might be able to get Garo on DVD in this country, but I'm not 100% positive. It is a pretty impressive show. It's kind of in the Tokusatsu (Anything scifi/ fanstasy with rubber monsters) for adults vein.
Fun fact about Project Arms anime: The main character shares the same voice actor as Guts from Berserk - Nobutoshi Canna Although it looks like there’s no voice acting in the game 😅
wow, the moment I saw the title I remembered having Raging Blade, what a forgotten memory! Isn't that the game where if you finish it you unlock a fight mode where you can use any of the mobs in the game? Also, project arms is an anime, a very good one too! If only I knew that game at the time... I was fairly informed on anime games back then
Raging Blades ! I was thinking about it when the video started and it appeared! The game has a lot of characters a fighting mode similar to power stone and multiple campaigns, branching paths and endings
I had no idea Project Arms was a licensed game. I had heard the name before in passing, but had no idea it was a fairly successful manga from the late 90s.

I swear, Matt's laugh heals me for like 1.5 hp. Just a good heart-felt laugh. Totally here for it.
"Next time, I won't miss."

I miss these games too, every console up to PS2 had these obscure games.
everything today feels and plays like the same reskinned game.

All I remember about project arms was the anime where teens gets grafted with alien parasites which are named after Alice in wonderland characters.

Two Garo anime series got an movie.
How tf and where do I start watching this series
I watched all of it. It's not too bad if you like Toku Rider Sentai bullshit like me. It tries to be more rated R adjacent but I'd say more for teens? I dunno. Japan's culture allows for some unique things. Anyway, the OG series is pretty cool. I had no idea this had a PS2 game.
Uh so like, where do I start....
The first night of my study abroad in Japan I turned on the TV in the business hotel and the last episode of the first season of Garo was playing. Naked demon ladies flying around? I had no fucking clue what was going on but I liked it.
To be fair, a LOT of Garo has that effect on you, lol - especially if you can't understand Japanese and there's no subs.
Fun fact: Zaruba (The talking skull ring from Garo) is voiced by Hironobu Kageyama, best known for his work on the Japanese Dragon Ball Z intros, as well as being the current leader of JAM Project (Who also do Garo's intros).

Yeah, it was like "look, Hollywood, we can do an cooler action scene with 1/100 of the budget". The fighting scenes in the series in general are really good.
How could this Garo game not feature "Savior in the Dark"? The hypest theme song ever.
The bit in Garo where you're running down the building gives big Ninja Blade energy
Best thing about it, it happened in the show.
*Project ARMS* (the manga was originally titled just *ARMS* ) is some amazing sci-fi action nonsense with great mechanical and monster design, although the game is just an okay beat-em-up.

I was not expecting a Ben Hur game, or that it would be Marcus Kartelius but here we are.
the guy who cuts a promo for garo in english is also the guy who goes "RESIDENT EVIL" in the first few RE titles
“You wanna be great in the future? Be shit right now.”
Truer words have never been spoken
The only thing I know about Garo is that it had a REALLY baller collab with FFXIV and gave a bunch of amazing armor
It's a really dark tokusatsu. "Dark" being more gritty and bloody then super Sentai and Kamen rider...it's actually quite good.
The armor is still available at the Gold Saucer for MGP.
How is no one talking about the genius “Zeus f***ing da*** it” joke. It deserves a chef’s kiss.

Raging blades is what a 128 bit golden axe should've been.
sadly.... no.... Legend which happens to be on SUPER Nintendo
and also a sequel (recently just found out) happens to be Raging Blades
chapters to it. don't get me wrong Golden Axe Series are and should be
brought back as a remaster hd collection or remake. that would be amazing.
Buccaneer guy looks like Bloodborne man, and now I want a from soft pirate game
You're not going to be shocked in the slightest but Buccaneer is indeed part of the Simple2000 series. It just has those D3 vibes.
I was so excited when I saw GARO on the list because of the skyscraper stage. That stage is beyond its time, and it is the scene that has been ingrained in my memory since I was a child playing this game.
Oh boy can’t wait for Matt’s Garo phase
These games look like above average Dollar General titles one can get for $5.00 each, man i love the PS2 . ❤
These multi-game videos are so good!
"ZEUS FUCKING DAMNIT!!!"
That was so good xD
Oh my god, Daemon Summoner.
I bought that as a teen out of a bargain bin at a local supermarket and it was my first proper taste of "unplayably bad".
Still own it, maybe I'll cover it one day.
I never really thought about it before, but a whole lot probably gets lost when you don't have the manual pamphlets that used to come with these older titles. They would explain some story and other things.
I never knew there was a GARO game. One of the best Toku shows out there.
Matt if you like Kamen Rider, you would probably like Garo
Edit: that Talking Skull guy is actually a ring that talks
He also detects demons, has knowledge on how to destroy some of them and acts as support by offering battle tactics and advice during a fight. Oh, and in one alternate continuity he is the ignition key to a very metal looking motorcycle that is a repurposed demon horse because urban gothic fantasy.
You had me at garo and yes it’s a show it’s basically tokusatsu answer to spawn matt
would love to watch you do a full lp of the last game. ❤
So Project ARMS is based on a manga of the same name. It's actually really good, would recommend a read if you can find it.
There is also a Anime of it that is great, I use to own a few Dub DVDs of this anime back as a Teen, an it had some crazy moments an great action, I haven't thought about it in years.

Man, Project ARMS!
That anime is a blast form the past, and ofc it got a videogame that was never localized so I couldn't play it back then.
I remember getting sent to the hall because me and my friend started laughing during history class when the chariot in Ben hur movie was dragging someone behind. Don't remember anything else just for some reason 2 of us were laughing... good mems

Project arms got a awesome anime too the intro is 🔥
fun fact: the creator of Attack on Titan Hajime Isayama has stated that project ARMS was one of the inspirations for him to become a Mangaka I believe that Eran's attack titan form was inspired by the main character's Jabberwock transformation.
Saw Garo, clicked as soon as possible because outside factors prevented me from watching it immediately
33:43 Microids? The same Microids that publishes those newer Asterix and Obelix games? And that Smurfs kart racer? And that Arkanoid Eternal Battle which is pretty fun?
I've seen a bit of Garo on UA-cam, entertaining even without the subtitles.
A pirate Devil May Cry would be so sick!
So, is Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones the best 3D game that feature chariot racing?
The PS Double Ballin' was one of my favorite consoles. But there was definitely jank involved
The jank was the funnest part. It was jank, but godbless em, it was jank that tried its best.
Pokemon is not the image that comes to mind when I hear the name, "Gashly."
Ben Hur as a concept sounds like a great pitch for a video game. A chariot kart racing game. Kind of gives me SW Pod Racer vibes
"Were there not guns created yet?" One of those things people get wrong all the time is thinking that guns are super modern. The Three Musketeers are called that because they were soldiers that used muskets and that book was set in 1625. So yes, they DEFINITELY had access to gun technology in 1880's England.
No ones gonna talk about the Feels Good Inc. laugh at the intro XD
Gorillaz 😎🎵🎶
That opening laugh was award winning.
"The A button does nothing" I mean yeah Matt... it's a PS2 controller, I'd imagine the non existent A button on it does nothing xD
I think I saw Daemon Summoner played by somebody a while ago. Tennings, perhaps? Either way, it starts costing you sanity as you progress the game.
ps2 library was the third person GOAT of video gaming , every single small and big company had their own engines for gaming and holy shit were they unique asf.

Oh boy, Golden Knight Garo, Garo: Makai Senki and Garo: Makai no Hana were quite a ride for mid-2000s japanese live-action TV shows.
I did not know project arms had a game . Sadly they never finished making the anime.
The anime was made while the manga was finishing up, and the 2nd season pretty much cut and change things. Could really benefit a new Anime Remake.
49:30 DUDE THATS DJ.SAMMY’s castle in the sky thumbnail! :OOO
The limited edition of Golden Knight Garo came with a green version of the talking skull ring.
There are actually images of it which I did NOT expect
I'd seen a review of Daemon Summoner from a "worst ever" series, so when I saw it here, I thought "Oh boy, he's in for a time!". You didn't get to fully experience the "wonders" of the stealth mechanic, which was probably good for you. (PS: from the same series, Space Invaders: Invasion Day, a game so bad, Taito disowned it)
A chariot racing vehicle combat game is a really cool concept. Shame the combat and physics seem kinda off.
Okay now do the blocky Xbox next. Would be interesting to see what unknown games you have not played on that system. But hell looking at Raging Blades i need to play it.
Interesting choices to have you decide which god you worship and who gives you real, testable powers in Ben-Hur, adapted from the 1880 book Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ, in which the 2016 film apparently features Jesus even more prominently than the 1959 original. I can't help but feel like a polytheistic divine magic loadout might be, just a little, missing the point.
The moment Matt said "Daemon Summoner" i laughed because i knew exactly how it was going to turn out
Game's got a lot of confidence to drop you straight into the sewer maze.
Honestly I miss random d grade games, it's such a shame that the 7th generation basically killed this little sub genre.
15:22 I find these so funny, I hope we keep getting them
Man Garo. What a great series. Was introduced to it with the HW garo event in xiv then fell in love with the series going back. Nice seeing it here.
You might be able to get Garo on DVD in this country, but I'm not 100% positive. It is a pretty impressive show. It's kind of in the Tokusatsu (Anything scifi/ fanstasy with rubber monsters) for adults vein.
Fun fact about Project Arms anime: The main character shares the same voice actor as Guts from Berserk - Nobutoshi Canna
Although it looks like there’s no voice acting in the game 😅
Raging Blades reminds me of Dragon Valor on PS1. Love it!

wow, the moment I saw the title I remembered having Raging Blade, what a forgotten memory! Isn't that the game where if you finish it you unlock a fight mode where you can use any of the mobs in the game? Also, project arms is an anime, a very good one too! If only I knew that game at the time... I was fairly informed on anime games back then
49:20 "Hello, my name is Indigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die."
Moons were always ginormous in old 6th gen games, apparently. Its bigger than it needs to be in even GTA games.
YO, GARO WAS SICK!!!
garo ps2 game sadly only game made for promotion material for the main show.
Raging Blades looks like a sequel to Dragon Valor!!!
You pressed Y and B on your 100% authentic PS2, Matt?
I hate when I do that.
"That actor looked too much like an actor"
its true
Raging Blades ! I was thinking about it when the video started and it appeared! The game has a lot of characters a fighting mode similar to power stone and multiple campaigns, branching paths and endings
Raging Blade actually looks like a pretty decent 3-D beat`em up for its time.
Buccaneer's opening sounds like someone trying to rewrite the narration at the beginning of most One Piece episodes.
Dude that sonic racing song brings back memories!!!!
Pompeii is doing great, I heard they even have successful museum that keeps the entire population employed!
There was a really good garo anime
I had no idea Project Arms was a licensed game. I had heard the name before in passing, but had no idea it was a fairly successful manga from the late 90s.
