    going into the best goty, i was thinking "kinda disappointed that he never mentioned danganronpa v3, i guess it's not mainstream enough" lmao

    • @bibby201

      Gavin Bowen never has he ever been mainstream 😂

    • @tylocook
      @tylocook 6 років тому +4

      So he says "work your way up to v3" does that mean you have to play the previous games?

    • @shawnheatherly
      @shawnheatherly 6 років тому +31

      Yes. You cannot jump into V3. The intro cutscene will spoil events of the first two games as well as anime and the side game. All of Danganronpa is amazing and worth your time, but I cannot recommend you start with V3.

    • @Invisibool
      @Invisibool 6 років тому +5

      Shawn Heatherly Honestly I would hazard that you dont even really NEED the anime to get V3. I personally really could not be bothered to watch the Danganronpa 3 anime and went from 1 to 2 to V3 just fine.
      I actually jumped on the hype train super late, bought both on Steam a year before V3's release because my friend had shown me some of it and it seemed cool

    • @Invisibool
      @Invisibool 6 років тому +6

      Tylo Yeah, you really ought to play Danganronpa 1 and 2 first. Both are great games in their own right though.
      The Danganronpa 3 anime is directly linked to those games, but is kinda optional to see, as I personally didnt bother and understand the series just fine.
      There's also another side game, Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls which falls between 1 and 2, but is a totally different genre side game and definitely is entirely optional (and despite being a midquel actually spoils some of future games)

  • @THeKallOfCtulu
    @THeKallOfCtulu 6 років тому +46

    ok so all the touhou games that arent shmups are fan games. Some of them just get picked up and licensed because the original creator, ZUN, doesnt care at all and lets everyone do whatever. So all the anime, the spin off games, etc are technically "unofficial".

    • @braystar8578
      @braystar8578 6 років тому +5

      Wrong. The fighting games are official.
      You really don't have a grasp on Touhou, do you?

    • @nemoguy
      @nemoguy 6 років тому +3

      Braystar Only the fightan games tho

    • @Mr._Sherwood
      @Mr._Sherwood 6 років тому +7

      Not really. Not only are there quite a few shmup fangames, but there's also the fighting games (IaMP, SWR, UNL, HM, ULiL and AoCF) which are both canon and official.

    • @CrimsonStudioz
      @CrimsonStudioz 6 років тому

      yes the fighting games are official.

    • @nocsiou
      @nocsiou 5 років тому

      Well if they don't really care and let everyone do whatever then they basically aprove of it, and if they get judged for something they don't care about but still had their brand put on it then it's their fault and the bad publicity is well earned

  • @GuiltyOne438
    @GuiltyOne438 6 років тому +119

    I love Danganronpa! Honestly didn't think it would make the list given how polarizing parts of it were. You did have a spoiler in the video though.
    Also for the Berserk musou game, if you see it as an adaptation of the recent Berserk anime, it's actually pretty faithful.

  • @dearcrowns
    @dearcrowns 6 років тому +45

    Touhou's really weird because it's basically a long running indie shmup series (with lore) that blew up enough that there is copious amounts of fan projects, including fangames (and lore/memes). The creator supports this to the extent that he allowed certain fangames to get officially licensed and published on consoles which lead to them getting localized here in the west (while the official games haven't), including the one listed in your vid. Idk how much that helps to explain things but that's the gist of it.
    Also, nice GOTY pick, it's cool to see that game get some appreciation.

    • @MACZ2021
      @MACZ2021 6 років тому +2

      Wasn't one of the games that got added to steam last year one of the mainline entries?

    • @dearcrowns
      @dearcrowns 6 років тому +3

      Yes, but there's no (official) English localisation or translation, which is what happened when playism released an earlier game in the west via their own website a few years back as well. That said, one of the fighting game spin-offs (which are developed by another fan group but are considered canon as opposed to fangames - it's weird) was also released on steam and is supposed to be getting an official translation at some point apparently? So that's something.

    • @MACZ2021
      @MACZ2021 6 років тому +1

      Nice, didn't know that one was getting an official translation.
      Glad to see we're starting to get more of the games released over here, never really had a chance to introduce the series to friend but now it should be easier, what with the games coming to steam now and that being the platform that most of my friends have access to.

      Probably because it's poorly paced and even worse-written.

    • @FirlowXD
      @FirlowXD 6 років тому +1

      GoldStarzzz It has some pacing issues but it was the best written entry in the series. Honestly, the first two games were really poorly written. I mean, it's not great either, cos it relies so much I'm repeating the same shit over and over until you get the point.
      Either way, can't help but love it

  • @AkumuOukoku
    @AkumuOukoku 6 років тому +41

    I'm just gunna say. . . as a long. . LONG time Touhou fan
    Yes the Touhou Fighting game V . . with the arbitrary long title is just . . bad ( on any platform )
    But please, dear GOD please, remember that it was a FAN MADE GAME AND NOT OFFICIAL. . AT ALL.
    The OFFICIAL Touhou fighting games are literally moving art with well made mechanics, a good competitive fallowing, and a lot of fun.
    MOST Fan games for Touhou are actually REALLY GOOD. Like - beyond the ability of most developers good for whatever messed up reason beyond my comprehension, GOOD. I highly recommend looking into the other games ( Even if you're not a Touhou Fan . . yet . ) they would be well worth the time to get.
    If you want a GOOD Touhou Fighting game, Touhou Hisoutensoku ( also just called Touhou 12.3 ) is probably one of the best ( IMO ) but there are others with amazing art, music, game play and fun / interesting stories as touhou is known for.

    • @SilvarusLupus
      @SilvarusLupus 6 років тому +5

      Touhou Doujin game makers are gods sometimes. Touhoumon which were Touhou inspired ROM hacks of Pokemon FireRed (and I think Emerald) spun off into their own self contained game called Touhou Puppet Dance Performance and it's like really fucking good with amazing sprite work for all the characters. Like what? How does this happen? Touhou game makers, I love you.

    • @CrimsonStudioz
      @CrimsonStudioz 6 років тому +1

      yeah that's how I feel too, if any body want actually to play a good touhou fighting game you should play either of the official games like "Touhou 15.5 Antinomy Of Common Flowers" or "Touhou 10.5 Scarlet Weather Rhapsody"

      @SilvarusLupus 6 років тому +16

      There are some really fucking good touhou fangames, like The Genius of Sappheiros. Too bad most of them won't get an official release in the West (but this is what fan translators are for)

    • @madengineerkyouma

    @hypersonic1337 6 років тому +12

    Disagree on the Berserk Musou one but I do agree that it's been around long enough to warrant more than just a decent Musou game as one of the better examples of a Berserk game, and I'd probably only get that Street Fighter II port if it was cheap but $40 is pushing it

    • @WelfareWaifu
      @WelfareWaifu 6 років тому

      Eh, as someone who likes both Musous and Berserk; It's a very watered down Musou. It plays better on Console but the PC port was plagued with issues, the loading times almost rival Bloodborne's at launch, some characters are downright unplayable as far as mechanics go and their roster of playable characters is really, really lacking.
      It's very faithful to the manga and well animated but that's the best it has going it. It's not awful but Berserk really deserves better.

    @lnsflare1 6 років тому +2

    FYI, the new translation patch for Ys 8 was quietly released on 1/30/18 and is a notable improvement and had new voice acting with generally better direction, this far (I'm replaying it to see what's changed).
    The biggest changes so far are a couple of villagers having their names changed ("Catherine" -> "Kathleen," for example) and the clunky "Ancient Species" being replaced with the more flowing "Primordials." As this is New Game Plus, my Journal can also confirm that a certain area inexplicably localized as "[Pseudo-Spoiler] Big Hole" (despite the Japanese version having an English subtitle that called it "[Pseudo-Spoiler] Crevice," IIRC) is now called "[Pseudo-Spoiler] Chasm."

      People were divided by the ending, sure, but i haven't seen a single person say that the whole game is bad because of it, in fact everyone seems to love the game, just half of the people don't like the ending (well except for TheRPGMinx, who didn't like Shuichi as a protagonist, so she just stopped playing it after first chapter)

    • @austineruption
      @austineruption  6 років тому +3

      +GamerScrewingAround because the character and outfit was designed by horny dudes, putting a completely non sexual character in an outfit with hot pants, visible thing and no back. Is that not kind of peculiar to you? It doesn't ruin the game considering it's still on my top list but I feel like if it didn't exist I could take it a little more seriously.

    • @ShallBePurified
      @ShallBePurified 6 років тому +10

      I think calling the artists "horny" for designing a sexual character is unnecessary. Everyone has a sex drive (well almost everyone) and most people would want to design a character that looks appealing to them. Even Yoko Taro designed 2B specifically to have the perfect ass to look at. No one would call him horny for that because that art style isn't "anime" enough. I do agree that Pyra's design should have been better, but calling the artist horny is being too dismissive of a design we may not like.

    • @AzureKing963
      @AzureKing963 6 років тому +1

      Yami While I haven't played the game and her design is far from the worst, "horny artist" is accurate since she was designed by a hentai artist.

    • @ShallBePurified
      @ShallBePurified 6 років тому +8

      The reason why that's a terrible argument is because most anime artists have drawn hentai at some point in their career. Drawing nudity helps with body proportions. This "hentai artist" business is blown way out of proportion and has given the game unnecessary negative reputation that most Japanese developed games also would have. You can't honestly tell me that Xenoblade 2's artist is "horny" when Yoko Taro asked people to send him 2B lewds and give that a pass. It's hypocritical.
      While we're at it, what about Ann's phantom design in Persona 5. Wearing bright red latex with a very obvious cleavage hanging out when her entire character is she hates being sexualized is contradictory don't you think? Yet most people give that a pass because her boobs aren't huge. Xenoblade 2 isn't the only game that suffers from Japanese anime design philosophy, yet people keep shitting on it while giving other Japanese games a pass because their female lead doesn't have massive boobs. I understand the criticism, but I also see the hypocrisy in this type of mindset.

    • @AzureKing963
      @AzureKing963 6 років тому +2

      Yami Let me start by saying that you are right about Ann's design and people give Taro a pass because he is weird.I mentioned the hentai artist to explain why people would say horny and as a joke. My dad is an artist so I've never had a problem with drawn nudity and understand a naked or skimpy drawing doesn't mean horny artist or bad artist.
      With Pyra, her boobs being big lead to people noticing that first when looking at her, making it something they latch on too(compared to Ann's mask and 2B's eyepatch and white hair). Xenoblade Chronicles not having that artstyle and Pyra being one of the first characters shown, with a design that would only be in an anime style, didn't help either. Finally, as Austin put it, her design doesn't mesh with her personality or add to it from what I have gathered.

    • @pundemon9659
      @pundemon9659 6 років тому +3

      Agreed! I like BOTW, but I think it's being over-praised simply because it's a step in the right direction for the series, and fans want to make it clear that it's closer to what they want. But I think the weapon durability alone makes Mario Odyssey overtake it as my GOTY. I simply think MO did a better job of fulfilling its objective as a game than BOTW did.

      Honestly, for a good Touhou Fangame, I'd suggest Scarlet Curiosity or Gensou Wanderer. They have exploration going for them, at least.
