So, I thought I'd clear some of the plot up. Starting with... The crystal is something from the second game, Hydlide II: Shine of Darkness. It's called the Evil Crystal (It gets worse), hidden deep underground, creating monsters. So basically, it's a monster spawner. You are summoned to- if I remember correctly- The Land of Fairies, so you can kill the monsters and break the crystal. Varalys also appears there, also downgraded there to being the guard of the crystal. Hydlide 3: Visitors of Darkness, or The Space Memories (No, I didn't make a mistake and forget to use roman numerals, that was done intentionally. No, really.) takes place after that. Hydlide 3:VoD/tSM (Acronyms are dumb) also takes place in The Land of Fairies. After the crystal broke, monsters disappeared, and things were peaceful. Technologies advanced. Kingdoms were built. Eventually, it became more like the human world Hydlide II: SoD's protagonist came from. The fairies, and The Fairy, left that world for... some reason. The rest is history. So yeah, it's all bullsh- Extra, Gameplay: Hydlide II's gameplay is the midpoint between Hydlide I and Hydlide 3. It has the time, equipment and morality systems (among others) this game has, but not the hunger, sleepy, and weight systems (again, among others). Leveling only increased HP, and you had to get Attack and Magic through training, which is something you buy. Over all, It's mostly the same as Hydlide I, but different in some places. Extra, Kaizack's Stupid Cutscene, and the Ending: So, I think what he was trying to say was that while his body would die, he would still exist forever, either as a spirit, Part of the protag, or in some non-literal way. The world destroys itself as he said it would, but the protag's existence and willpower bring it back. This does make some sense, they do have power on the level of Kaizack. And that's it. The End. The Story of Hydlide is- Oh right, Virtual Hydlide. It's just a remake, from what I can tell.
I love that *IT'S A JOOOOKE* line. It's the perfect non-joke. No real set up, no real punch line. It just comes out of nowhere and leaves just as soon as it arrives, but it makes me laugh every time.
I'm assuming the Thief class is an issue of mistranslation. They probably meant something like "Bandit," or some other sort of brutish, simple brigand.
I've been playing the updated Windows version which comes with an Engrish translation. It translates it as robber, which has different connotations to thief. Talking about mistranslations - could Jeem's scroll be Jim's scroll?
@@weberman173 Technically there's a Windows version of Hydlide 3, but it's the same game. It was only released in Japan. AFAIK every version of Hydlide 3 had that English translation, even though only the Mega Drive/Genesis version had a official English language release. Strange...
I could immediately tell ProJared switched to emulation (outside of him announcing he did, of course) because suddenly the pixels on-screen were sharp and crisp, and the text was made legible! I was wondering why his recordings of old games looked so blurry until I realized now that through recording off of the original console, his resolutions are severely limited. So it's cool that he does indeed play on the original console.
Quite late, I'm sorry, but the Fusion Sega Genesis emulator has an option to make the image look like it comes from a TV and it actually really looks like the image before he emulated it.
I wonder if anyone ever told him about the karma system... It seems that killing only the bad monsters will yearn you better treasures and better comments from the villagers, or something of the like. Knowing which monsters are evil is another story. I heard they are the ones that mercilessly attack you, but in a game like this, you wouldn't really notice it.
Judging by the footage, he seemed to be trying to avoid killing certain monsters. I think he found out but forgot to mention it because it was such a non-feature.
@@garfieldcat007 after doing some research, it turns out it matters more in the prequel, Hydlide 2. When your "Forth"(rightness) is in the red, not only villagers won't talk to you... but shopkeepers also won't sell you anything! Plus, I think you need a max level of Forthrightness in order to get a certain item.
+JoeytheJoeyX3 but theres a 4th that only came out in japan only when he plays that game we shall be doomed *CATS AND DOGS LIVING TOGETHER, MASS HYSTERIA*
I believe the end line "I will live for ever" was a mistranslation. The original Japanese was 私だけでは死なぬ which is more along the lines of "I shall not die alone"... meaning that Kaizack would take everyone--and everything--with him... The original romanized spelling of his name was a bit different, too... It was "Gayzac" xP No wonder it was changed. ^^;
You know what's more annoying than a dark cave level? ALL IMPORTANT GAME ITEMS HAVING TO BE HIDDEN IN THAT SAME DARK CAVE LEVEL!!! Jared, you have the patience of a saint.
Don't forget that there were good & evil monsters. If you attack a good monster you lose "morale points" (I think) and things cost more. With max morale points (100) things cost MUCH less.
I think if this game had a "Redaction" like Simon's Quest then it would be a pretty top-notch game. The ideas aren't bad and with a few slight adjustments this could be a really fun game. Just make it so you don't need to grind quite as much just to start adventuring rather than simply trying to keep fed and rested most of the time.
The redaction would be helped by simply copying and pasting the ending of Hydlide 3 (This game). The ending for the game was a much more expanded ending that basically explained that you willed fairy land back to existence and became God

I really want to become a game developer and if I ever do, I will do everything in my power to buy the rights to hydlide so I can make a reboot that is freaking amazing. Maybe. No promises.
Super Hylide actually has some interesting and pretty cool ideas in it, it just needs something to actually glue them together, make it less cumbersome, and add more. It really wouldn't suffer from a remake.
Patrick Bever-Chritton That's actually a good idea. Making failed games in the past becomes easier because of how much room for improvement they have. And the concepts of weight, hunger and real-time could make a really interesting game nowadays.
Japanese circles loved them. Mind you, the came out in the west significantly later than their Japanese release dates. Hydlide released in Japan originally in 1984, and in the west on NES in 1989 (Europe got the MSX2 version in 1985). Super Hydlide originally released in 1987 (yes, Hydlide 3 was already out in Japan before Hydlide 1 came out in the west) and the west didn't get it until 1990. Virtual Hydlide, on the other hand, released worldwide on April 1995. Considering it's the LAST ONE, and it was BAD, it's safe to assume everyone hated it and it killed the series.
Sissel Well trying to find a medieval fantasy action RPG styled like this is like trying to get blood from a stone, although this is probably not the best place to look for fun gameplay :P
I wish ProJared did more reviews. His sense of humor is brilliant. Also, how come Super Hydlide isn't more popular? YOU HAVE A MEDIEVAL KNIGHT WALKING AROUND IN SPACE, FIGHTING PENGUINS IN STARSHIPS WHILST LOOKING FOR A WAY TO KILL A WIZARD(or something)!!! This sounds like the coolest video game ever!
You mention the character being too stupid to read in the graveyard portion, which makes me think of the old Fallout games. It's possible to make a character with such low intelligence that you can't communicate with anyone, it's hilarious. Not this, though. This just turns that into pointless busywork.
Lewis Medeiros In New Vegas, Arcade, one of the follows you can get, will only follow you if you pass a speech check, but if you have a low enough intelligence, he takes pity on you, and comes with you anyways.
Lewis Medeiros There's a part in New Vegas where you have to get into a certain area where you are only allowed in if you have the password needed. With low enough intelligence, you can say "Ice Cream!" and it turns out that that was actually the password.
Before you get to the Tower of Havel, you have to talk to Oscar of Astora, beat the Demon of Asylum, use the Crow of Velka to leave the Asylum of Undead, make it to the Shrine of Firelink, navigate your way through the Burg of Undead, and beat up the Soldiers of Hollowed. I recommend getting the Ring of Tearstone of Blue from the Knight of Black of Gwyn underneath the abandoned house, because Havel of the Rock in the Tower of Havel will turn you into Kill of Road if you're not careful.
So a god, who made the universe, created you as his antithesis, to kill him, and thus end the earth, so that he can reveal that he is immortal, and then undo everything you've done. Meaning you may as well never have left your starting village, despite the fact that you were made to do everything you did, so that he could undo it. My head hurts.
It's not very long. It doesn't contain a person singing. And it doesn't show a bunch of spoiler highlights from other episodes. It's up there. It's not THAT catchy though and it could be shorter or more interesting. It's a more a tune than a theme but luckily it's not an anthem.
"Both the Hunger and Weight mechanics are supposed to add realism, forgot that in the beginning, the hero gets overencumbered by a dagger" Seems legit.
You know how some gamers are just famous for some games it became their trademark? Like with Markiplier (FNAF), or Avgn (Castlevania). Well Projared here has Hydlide. It's his trademark now.
15:00 that's ridicolous, yet it's one of the most used cliches in RPGs, it's in basically every Final Fantasy game, despite how cheap it is. Basically there's one villain through the game, but at one point near the end you're introduced to the MAIN villain, which comes basically out of nowhere, so you go there to fight it and he reveals that he really is the most powerful being in existence, that controls everything and in some cases that the previous villain was really good, but only influenced by this main one. So you destroy it and save the world. If that's not cheap writing I don't know what is. Sometimes they add a bit of clues that this main villain exists through the game, like a sage in one town that will talk about the ancient demon BLZZAZGORG, and it turns out to be the villain at the end, but in that same game you'll also have a lot of totally useless stories, like the little boy talking about the ancient hero of the statue, or the girl talking about her lost parents and so on, there's no way to tell which backstory will affect the plot, so it doesn't work as a foreshadowing.
KombatGod Really the only FF game that happens (within the main franchise at least) is FF9 with Necron and even then he's hinted at a few times. It's also not just an RPG trope, it happens in all different forms of media just sometimes more well-done than others.
The ending of this game actually genuinely, honestly intrigues me. The universe is created and destroyed in a constant cycle of conflict - the eternal champion generates the universe from the void by the act of observing it, but over the millennia he grows jaded by his creation and his eventual experimentation with reality in a desperate search for novelty one way or the other creates a painful dystopia which demands a hero to react against it. The hero overthrows the god of the old world only to become the god of the new one and the cycle begins anew. Can it ever be broken?
9:55 Jared: "So I'm stabbing robots... with my sword... I feel like there is a distinct disadvantage here" (Super Hydlide) Me: "So I'm shooting robots... with my bow... I feel like there is a distinct disadvantage here" (Breath of the Wild)
ok i played the game it actually quite fun although i'm still trying to do the place with robots. do not choose the thief class. it is the hardest to finish yet i still played it. anyway best class is the priest ok. OK
+Satan'z Son You put it better than me, Nintendo used a new prefix or suffix on sequels to their old games. Like Mega Man 64, Super Mario 64, Super Mario brothers, Super C, Super Smash Bros, etc.
The game's original name in Japan was SO MUCH COOLER. It's "Hydlide 3: The Space Memories." Tells you exactly what you're getting, and just sounds badass to boot!
Wow....you're in SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE!!
6:22 that's another flaw I chose the priestess and I was like level 5 or 6 and was able to push the grave. So unless you choose a specific class you'll have to level up a lot to pass certain obstacles
I know this video's like a year old and all, so this has probably already been pointed out, but I just wanted to say that I think I realized why the Thief and Warrior class stats are so confusing. The thief has higher base stats, but a terrible handle stat (thus the woes with the dagger), while the Warrior has a MUCH higher handle stat, meaning he could wear better armor and use bigger weapons.
Fun Fact: Apparently, this game and the japan-only Hydlide 2 got alignment-systems to them related to what sort of things you stab; humans and good-monsters make your Moral Fiber (MF) stat drop to a point that random traps activate and hinder your play, while bad-monsters make your MF stat rise to a point that random rewards will be given to you. While 2 would go as far as even making it that a low enough MF state makes town-folks outright REFUSE to talk to give hints or sell stuff or so on, 3 didn't go that far. Both still do those sorts of random events based on how slaughter-happy your hero is.
wait, wait, hold the phone. So you are saying that Super Hydlide is actually an improvement than the original Hydlide? holy shit ... this is probably a ton more better in game development than the games of today where most current game developers care more about over-priced DLC, microtransactions and multiples re-releases of the same games over and over again because FUCK YOU!! GIVE ME MONEY!!! (and this came out in 1987, when the gaming industry was VERY, VERY new, and very early stages of life and this was 4 years after the crash of '83)
+Samuel James ...But wait. the Sega Genesis wasn't out in 1987... unless you're talking about the original PC version of this game, but i'm not sure if even that one was out in 1987
+Samuel James But anyways, there's still games that have good game development. Animal Crossing has a lot of replayability to it, Stardew Valley, and other games. They also made improvements over time, and that's what matters.
This is my favorite ProJared review, and one of my favorite game reviews period. There's something about games with good ideas and a lot of potential that simply don't live up to it. That sense of disappointment was captured well here, and I feel like he gave the game a very fair review, very honest (as opposed to many reviewers who tend to choose comedy over expressing their true views).
The weight and hunger system makes me appreciate the humor in Peasant's Quest... "For simplicity's sake you are immune to hunger and thirst in this game. So you got that going for you. ...Which is nice."
This actually seems kind of cool; I like the idea of a "Sims RPG." If they were more forgiving of mechanics like food, sleep, and encumbrance I think it could've been a good game. Maybe it could get an HD remake with less padding and more content.
Learning to read by killing stuff. If only life were that easy. This game had some good ideas, but a few big fumbles. Some of the music was cool too. The reason the world came back was because the player-character was imbued with a small amount of Kizack's power.
"You have to push the grave. My character was too stupid to push the grave..."
This gets me every time.

Patrick Bever-Chritton That's actually a good idea. Making failed games in the past becomes easier because of how much room for improvement they have. And the concepts of weight, hunger and real-time could make a really interesting game nowadays.
Patrick Bever-Chritton I mean hey... they're remaking Shaq Fu
What is this "space suit" you speak of? Everyone knows that you need a "space suite" to survive in space. :P
Space apartment!
Space House!
Space room.
Metal Nonja God Damn it Ross

15:02 He's talking about the crystal from the second game, "Hydlide II: Shines Of Darkness"
Darkness shines?
But Fox's shine is already pitch black!
Hydlide had to be popular somewhere to receive two sequels and a remake.
Japanese circles loved them. Mind you, the came out in the west significantly later than their Japanese release dates. Hydlide released in Japan originally in 1984, and in the west on NES in 1989 (Europe got the MSX2 version in 1985).
Super Hydlide originally released in 1987 (yes, Hydlide 3 was already out in Japan before Hydlide 1 came out in the west) and the west didn't get it until 1990.
Virtual Hydlide, on the other hand, released worldwide on April 1995. Considering it's the LAST ONE, and it was BAD, it's safe to assume everyone hated it and it killed the series.
Basically, we got the games long after they were already outdated, and long after we've already played better games.
Koncreet-Outfit well America didn't get final fantasy 1 until japan got 3
It also had games inspired by it, like Ys, which is an utterly fantastic series
Poor poor North Koreans. Forced to play the Hydlide series by Kim Jong Un...
This game actually looks somewhat fun to me...
You're a masochist
Sissel
Well trying to find a medieval fantasy action RPG styled like this is like trying to get blood from a stone, although this is probably not the best place to look for fun gameplay :P
+JJthebanana Secret of Mana.
That being said, this *does* look fun.
Marcelelias11
But classes though.
Although JP only SoM 2 has a very good class system, and this game's idea of a theif is... interesting.
JJthebanana Hey, you can't expect them to get everything right. Or the basics. Or- You know what, it's better than Hydlide, there.
Would love to see you do more UA-cam videos man. Happy to go back and watch all your old ones, but would also love some new ones.
Well your in luck cause he did a FF8 video just a few days ago hopefully he is back to stay
"experience points are also like a currency in this game"
thought you were about to say that your experience points weigh you down as well
I wish ProJared did more reviews. His sense of humor is brilliant.
Also, how come Super Hydlide isn't more popular? YOU HAVE A MEDIEVAL KNIGHT WALKING AROUND IN SPACE, FIGHTING PENGUINS IN STARSHIPS WHILST LOOKING FOR A WAY TO KILL A WIZARD(or something)!!!
This sounds like the coolest video game ever!
story is cool, but the rest of the game is seriously lacking.
It really needs to be remade. It could be one of the best, most unique games on the market( if done right)
DarthKato Or you know, you could just play the superior version called Hydlide 3: The Space Memories for MSX2.
Rainversey Never heard of it.
DarthKato There's videos on youtube, I'd recommend checking them out.
All your videos are very well organized and proffesional looking.
+Metal Bacon That's why he's PROJared. c:
+Zoe Boughton Yeah. Ever check out Ameteurjared's channel? He's aaaaaall over the place.
+Jubble I like the little detail of the j being not capitalised.
+RandomGamerNumber01 Did I do a good?
Jubble You did multiple goods.
You mention the character being too stupid to read in the graveyard portion, which makes me think of the old Fallout games. It's possible to make a character with such low intelligence that you can't communicate with anyone, it's hilarious.
Not this, though. This just turns that into pointless busywork.
Lewis Medeiros In New Vegas, Arcade, one of the follows you can get, will only follow you if you pass a speech check, but if you have a low enough intelligence, he takes pity on you, and comes with you anyways.
Ahahahaha, oh god, that's great. How's he know how stupid you are, though?
Lewis Medeiros He know because when you ask him to come with you, hey asks why and your character says. "Can you help me do.... things?"
Lewis Medeiros There's a part in New Vegas where you have to get into a certain area where you are only allowed in if you have the password needed. With low enough intelligence, you can say "Ice Cream!" and it turns out that that was actually the password.
SpiderDash wow...
I grew up on this game, and love it. I can't blame anyone who hates it, but I love how detailed the game is. I especially love this game's soundtrack.
Tower of Havel? Did you get the Moonlight Butterfly first?
Heh heh
nah brah. Master key.
Nah man, you kill that sucker before fighting the Taurus Demon.
Before you get to the Tower of Havel, you have to talk to Oscar of Astora, beat the Demon of Asylum, use the Crow of Velka to leave the Asylum of Undead, make it to the Shrine of Firelink, navigate your way through the Burg of Undead, and beat up the Soldiers of Hollowed. I recommend getting the Ring of Tearstone of Blue from the Knight of Black of Gwyn underneath the abandoned house, because Havel of the Rock in the Tower of Havel will turn you into Kill of Road if you're not careful.
I cant believe all of you actually played that much of this shitty game, I gave up after 5 minutes lol
No matter how many times I watch the Hydlide reviews, they're still great.
I will say, that shot of Kaizack saying "I will live forever" is actually pretty creepy.
I often come back to the Hydlide-Trilogy-Videos, as I like to call them, just because I enjoy them so much. These videos are basically classics.
Super Hylide is the best from the Hylide series
Which, sadly, isn't saying much.
Smilley MLK its justmlike saying the woolesys strike back is the best bubsy game
yeah it is
That's like saying the shit I took today didn't smell as bad as the shit I took yesterday
Ah, yes, the Space Suite. The nicest room in any hotel.
Gotta bring your own supply
So a god, who made the universe, created you as his antithesis, to kill him, and thus end the earth, so that he can reveal that he is immortal, and then undo everything you've done. Meaning you may as well never have left your starting village, despite the fact that you were made to do everything you did, so that he could undo it. My head hurts.
am I the only one who thinks that the pro Jared theme son is one of like three good youtuber themes?
It's not very long. It doesn't contain a person singing. And it doesn't show a bunch of spoiler highlights from other episodes.
It's up there.
It's not THAT catchy though and it could be shorter or more interesting. It's a more a tune than a theme but luckily it's not an anthem.
It is a really good theme song...
Oda Swifteye It's just pretty damn relaxing
I like the one that appears on his playthrough channel better
He’s one of the few you tubers who can have a minute-long intro and I don’t even care
Good to see Jarrad getting his story out there
"Both the Hunger and Weight mechanics are supposed to add realism, forgot that in the beginning, the hero gets overencumbered by a dagger"
Seems legit.
I actually like this game
What is wrong with me
A lot!
-Just kidding, just kidding, you're amazing XD-
Well, considering that it looks decent, seems fun and has some really crazy setpieces, so it is perfectly fine to like it!
***** Hey Hoodo.
Your not alone buddy
***** Hey I saw you on IHE!
"Allow me the final pleasure to enlighten you!" - Kaizack, 1987.
Seriously, what the hell does that even mean?
I cant believe the hydlide videos are almost a decade old already....
You know how some gamers are just famous for some games it became their trademark? Like with Markiplier (FNAF), or Avgn (Castlevania). Well Projared here has Hydlide. It's his trademark now.
***** I know but everytime someone said : FNAF review, you immidiately thought of him.
***** LOL :)
***** What what what what what what...
Amer Djuliman FNAF? please explain?
Markiplier has no trademark, he just plays a bunch of horror, sentimental, funny and stupid games.
15:00 that's ridicolous, yet it's one of the most used cliches in RPGs, it's in basically every Final Fantasy game, despite how cheap it is.
Basically there's one villain through the game, but at one point near the end you're introduced to the MAIN villain, which comes basically out of nowhere, so you go there to fight it and he reveals that he really is the most powerful being in existence, that controls everything and in some cases that the previous villain was really good, but only influenced by this main one. So you destroy it and save the world. If that's not cheap writing I don't know what is.
Sometimes they add a bit of clues that this main villain exists through the game, like a sage in one town that will talk about the ancient demon BLZZAZGORG, and it turns out to be the villain at the end, but in that same game you'll also have a lot of totally useless stories, like the little boy talking about the ancient hero of the statue, or the girl talking about her lost parents and so on, there's no way to tell which backstory will affect the plot, so it doesn't work as a foreshadowing.
Well I'm pretty sure they lead up to kaizak in this game though. But I do think that fake final bosses can be done well (Bayonetta)
KombatGod Really the only FF game that happens (within the main franchise at least) is FF9 with Necron and even then he's hinted at a few times. It's also not just an RPG trope, it happens in all different forms of media just sometimes more well-done than others.
Garrus -Vakarian
Nah, it happens all the time.
It's called Deus Ex Machina. It isn't even limited to fiction, we had unbelievable Deus Ex Machinas in real life too (see Joanne D'arc).
Groose Who Has Such A Noose Loose That He Will Force It Up Your Caboose Diablo ex Nihilo, in this case.
I keep coming back to this vid and the haven and hearth one, feels like home....
I just discovered your videos last night. They'll really good. Please keep up the good work.
"Screw Physics! Because Video Games!"
This is why Projared is my hero.
It's good to be back
TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS, gold dollars....
"Thief" may have been mistranslated from something like "Bandit" or "Brigand". That's my only explanation for those stats
Am I the only one who finds it funny that he put "ProJarf" on the character naming screen before he changed to to "ProJared"?
ITS A JOOOOOKE
ProJarfeild.

11:41C'mon Jared, that joke was so one dimensional!
I am someone you don't know
Don't you mean it was *flat* ?
I am someone you don't know So, would you say it falls flat?
@@blaz9474 you're hanging on a *thin* thread
Jeem's scroll... Jeem's scroll... Jeeeeeeeem's scroll...
Jeem the scholar, he was killed by bees.
i wonder if hes related to jim
Ah.. 2013. Wish I could go back there. No corona and none of the crap that is going on right now around the world.
The ending of this game actually genuinely, honestly intrigues me. The universe is created and destroyed in a constant cycle of conflict - the eternal champion generates the universe from the void by the act of observing it, but over the millennia he grows jaded by his creation and his eventual experimentation with reality in a desperate search for novelty one way or the other creates a painful dystopia which demands a hero to react against it. The hero overthrows the god of the old world only to become the god of the new one and the cycle begins anew. Can it ever be broken?
3.1 million views for someone playing an obscure video game from the 80s that nobody has heard of. Impressive!
Jared played this game with the 6 button controller, like all people of taste.
9:55
Jared: "So I'm stabbing robots... with my sword... I feel like there is a distinct disadvantage here" (Super Hydlide)
Me: "So I'm shooting robots... with my bow... I feel like there is a distinct disadvantage here" (Breath of the Wild)
7:48
If you're wondering what possible use Sega games could have, don't worry, Super Hydlide tells you
*iT's a jOOOOOOOOOOOOOke*
I dunno how many times ive watched the proJared hydlide trilogy, but it still makes me happy watching all three
You jump through a crack in the earth to reach space...
Super Hydlide devs: the original flat earthers
You need to play Hydlide 2. Make it happen Projared. The series needs to be complete
But he's not in Japan
there a thing called a rom
Tyler Green Oh yeah
the one thing I'll always thank Projared for, is how he rates the games
whenever I play a game, i try and go in with as few expectations as possible in order to decide for myself whether or not it is a piece of shit.
so when i loaded up super hydlide, i actually had a pretty good time. felt a bit like elder scrolls 1: arena if you ask me.
which console?
genesis emulator
mastrvidman15 I used the same thing. It wasn't *too* horrible.
ok i played the game it actually quite fun although i'm still trying to do the place with robots. do not choose the thief class. it is the hardest to finish yet i still played it. anyway best class is the priest ok. OK
Space ships, lightsabers, evil villain and crazy missions, this game reeks of Ultima 1.
Just without the arguably better PC interface and keyboard.
Why is this called "Super" Hydlide? Isn't adding the prefix "Super" a SNES trope?
i dont think its a SNES trope but more a thing that nintendo did a lot
+Satan'z Son You put it better than me, Nintendo used a new prefix or suffix on sequels to their old games. Like Mega Man 64, Super Mario 64, Super Mario brothers, Super C, Super Smash Bros, etc.
The game's original name in Japan was SO MUCH COOLER. It's "Hydlide 3: The Space Memories."
Tells you exactly what you're getting, and just sounds badass to boot!
Wyrdwad Your right, I'd expect something like a Japanese Star Wars/ Mass Effect game based on that title.
SEGA DOES WHAT NINTENDALSODOES
Kaizacks (or whatever) fave when he died was a bit disturbing. Specielly his last sentence: "i will live forever"
Wow....you're in SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE!!
Because we totally needed a goddamn Valve Joke........pssst. We didn't shut the fuck up
14 and counting. Forget Jim Sterling. Thank God for ProJared for playing this crap so we don't have to.
Jim seems a bit arrogant...
"A pack of Hydlide games."
"IT'S A JOKE"
6:22 that's another flaw I chose the priestess and I was like level 5 or 6 and was able to push the grave. So unless you choose a specific class you'll have to level up a lot to pass certain obstacles
That plot is "so bad it's good" in a level not even Mars of Destruction pulled off.
I know this video's like a year old and all, so this has probably already been pointed out, but I just wanted to say that I think I realized why the Thief and Warrior class stats are so confusing. The thief has higher base stats, but a terrible handle stat (thus the woes with the dagger), while the Warrior has a MUCH higher handle stat, meaning he could wear better armor and use bigger weapons.
Hi
Sayed Tanjid Hello to you too, I guess.
Hi
'sup.
That would be interesting, but you're wrong. I think Handle and load limit are directly linked to Strength.
Rewatching. How about a hydlide renake.
Projared’s videos are the only time I’m not annoyed by double ads
Anyone else wonder why Jared has a huge dagger?
you don't have a huge dagger?
prw56 Yeah I really should knuckle down on getting one...
10:16 Piccolo: We get it! You're from space"
What ?
@@YassineTorchani-dc2cm DBZA =P . All the space stuff.
This has always been one of my favorite reviews from you. Great to see you back
Fun Fact: Apparently, this game and the japan-only Hydlide 2 got alignment-systems to them related to what sort of things you stab; humans and good-monsters make your Moral Fiber (MF) stat drop to a point that random traps activate and hinder your play, while bad-monsters make your MF stat rise to a point that random rewards will be given to you.
While 2 would go as far as even making it that a low enough MF state makes town-folks outright REFUSE to talk to give hints or sell stuff or so on, 3 didn't go that far. Both still do those sorts of random events based on how slaughter-happy your hero is.
We need more of these reviews!!!
wait, wait, hold the phone.
So you are saying that Super Hydlide is actually an improvement than the original Hydlide?
holy shit ... this is probably a ton more better in game development than the games of today where most current game developers care more about over-priced DLC, microtransactions and multiples re-releases of the same games over and over again because FUCK YOU!! GIVE ME MONEY!!!
(and this came out in 1987, when the gaming industry was VERY, VERY new, and very early stages of life and this was 4 years after the crash of '83)
+Samuel James ...But wait.
the Sega Genesis wasn't out in 1987...
unless you're talking about the original PC version of this game, but i'm not sure if even that one was out in 1987
+Samuel James is this supposed to mock the hypster gamer?
Carlos Vera ummm ... what does TF2 have to do with this?
Samuel James Wrong thread. Was gonna type this somewhere else.
+Samuel James But anyways, there's still games that have good game development. Animal Crossing has a lot of replayability to it, Stardew Valley, and other games. They also made improvements over time, and that's what matters.
This is my favorite ProJared review, and one of my favorite game reviews period. There's something about games with good ideas and a lot of potential that simply don't live up to it. That sense of disappointment was captured well here, and I feel like he gave the game a very fair review, very honest (as opposed to many reviewers who tend to choose comedy over expressing their true views).
The emulated footage looks a little bit more eye-friendly. Thanks, Jared.
The weight and hunger system makes me appreciate the humor in Peasant's Quest...
"For simplicity's sake you are immune to hunger and thirst in this game. So you got that going for you. ...Which is nice."
This actually seems kind of cool; I like the idea of a "Sims RPG." If they were more forgiving of mechanics like food, sleep, and encumbrance I think it could've been a good game. Maybe it could get an HD remake with less padding and more content.
Like a Final Fantasy with survival Fallout elements!
It's a sequel to an NES game with Super in the title, and it's on Genesis?
A dagger is too heavy but a knife is perfect. Projared is such a badass that he dual wields both at the same time!
Learning to read by killing stuff. If only life were that easy.
This game had some good ideas, but a few big fumbles. Some of the music was cool too.
The reason the world came back was because the player-character was imbued with a small amount of Kizack's power.
