    I'm a sucker for ps2 era games, and this one actually looks quite interesting. I might try it out sometime. Great work!

      dmc2 is better than DmC Hell yeah dude, It’s crazy short so it doesn’t over stay it’s welcome, worth a shot. Be warned though like I said in the video the combat stinks, but maybe you will be able to figure it out because I don’t know if I ever really did honestly lol.
      Thanks for still coming back and watching my stuff, man. I really appreciate it!!

    Mobius' artwork was the basis for Panzer Dragoon as well. Japanese copies of Panzer Dragoon feature his art on the jewel cases.

      Ah very cool, thanks for sharing that. Mobius is such an interesting artist. His work on Japanese video games particularly is an intriguing little pocket of his career.

      Ah thank you very very much for the kind words. I'm really stoked to hear you find it interesting, and think my thoughts are meaningful cause that's what I'm shooting for.
      Thanks for the sub! It's fun makin videos, and I've got a shit ton of video ideas, so there will be plenty more to come !

      Second the motion. Interesting content, engaging commentary. Recommend you double down on content. I have a smaller channel, as well. Try also starting on BitChite. More views with smaller sub counts. First channel is free. I Sub’d as well. If you want to do a collab, let me know. Suggest Condemned: Criminal Origins 2 Bloodshot. Atmospheric melee combat game with FPS elements, investigations, occult, conspiracy, etc. just closed this one again. Great stuff.

    Thank you for the kind words my guy. Your channel really grew to one of my favorite channels over the past year and I'm really glad I discovered it on that r/DMC post months ago. Really sucks that due to my new job I cant check them out as soon as I'd like, but at least I always watch them when I'm able.
    Really love the fact that you cover games both big and super obscure. Keep it up man!
    Also "Its the most watchable movie from 1954" *glares in Gojira*

      Redgrave Flame Hey thanks for always watching man it’s seriously appreciated.
      Well hey congrats on the new job, dude! No worries on not being able to check them out right away, You gotta get that bread some how haha. I knew you would catch it eventually.
      And yeah dude I got a couple ultra obscure games down the pipeline I’m planning on doing, I love exploring those weirdo titles. plus Astral Chain is right around the corner. It’s great to hear you enjoy both types of games I like to talk about.
      Gojira is 1954! Damn it I forgot hahaha. Well hey I gotta say Seven Samurai appeals to my subjective tastes a lot more, and I haven’t seen Gojira in like 8 years haha

    It's a 360 attack. Also there are translation errors. Natoe's back has to be facing the screen is what it meant.

    • @machinejuice5965
      @machinejuice5965  4 роки тому

      Ah thanks, I should have figured it was a translation error. Makes a lot of sense lol. “The back of the screen” is just such a funny phrase to me

    This game used to scare me as a kid for some reason idk why lol but I never finished the second level

    • @machinejuice5965
      @machinejuice5965  4 роки тому

      Sure I hear you, this game does have a somber kinda dreary vibe it that kinda spooked me as a kid too lol. I think it’s the constant cloudy sky through out the game

  • @shinkiro403
    @shinkiro403 5 років тому +5

    Found this game years ago when I still had to develop taste, and when I finished it I thought it was something complicated, that's why I didn't understand half the "plot" and I kept button-mashing. Now I'd just like a reboot to fix 80% of the game, it'd really be worth it.
    Anyway, as others said, you deserve a lot more, looking foward to see this channel bloom. Keep up the good work 👍

    • @machinejuice5965
      @machinejuice5965  5 років тому +1

      Thank you thank you!!
      That’s funny, honestly when I was a kid I thought the game was very complicated as well! And yeah this game could be interesting if it had a reboot, make the combat actually good, spend more time developing characters. but the way it is now is just a fun stupid little weirdo title that has a few endearing aspects to it that make it kinda special to me lol.
      and thank you for the kinda words! Stuff like this is very motivating. i’ve got a bunch of plans for this channel and im starting to figure out exactly what i want to do. its fun making videos and its very encouraging to hear you enjoyed this one! Thank you!!

      @@machinejuice5965 good luck in your cyber-journey then, we'll be watching ye :)
      Yeah, it's unique in its niche, but I was browsing the Tube and saw there was practically nothing on it beside some review, cutscene recap and casual gameplay.
      No speedruns, no "no X" runs, no attempts at finding more inside it, and as you said in the video the wiki page is barebones too.
      The thought that all records of that misused potential get lost in the sea of the net upsets me, and it even isn't an important thing to preserve. That's why I think a reboot would at least lay it to rest the proper way when even the remake's times have passed, so all the nice things done by some good artists for the original game are not overshadowed anymore by all else that was wrong
      I'm a hoarder and a fucking romantic, that's a dangerous combo to my psyche ^^;

    • @machinejuice5965
      @machinejuice5965  5 років тому +1

      Shinkiro lol hey there’s nothing wrong with being a romantic, or a hoarder when it comes to art in my opinion.
      At the very least I think this games an interesting part of Moebius’ career. The fact the he worked on this game is so interesting to me, it makes me feel like there was a lot of effort put into creating it.
      I think it deserves to be talked about, it deserves to be remembered. I’m glad you found my channel by looking for something about this game. At least we can contribute a little bit to this games legacy by talking about it!
      This game is a beautiful package of good ideas and bad execution, and in a way to me thats what makes it so interesting!

    Precisely what I was looking for. I remember playing this as a kid and digging the just guard system. Everything else was kind of ehh but man, that system was basically witch time way before it was cool.

    • @machinejuice5965
      @machinejuice5965  4 роки тому +1

      Hey I’m glad I could provide something your looking for! Thanks for the watch and the sub, much appreciated.
      The Just Guard system is honestly cool, and probably the best part of the combat. it’s just a good idea that’s bogged down by the rest of the combat mechanics unfortunately. Witch time is like this idea done better, your spot on with that comparison!

      Totally, that combination of lame, and good really is interesting. such a weird little game, if it's combat system was different maybe wouldn't be so forgotten.

      Yes, dude absolutely. It’s definitely got that PS2y flavor to it that other classic of the era give me as well. For all of Seven Samurai’s short comings it’s still got great atmosphere

  • @Starmachineofficial

    Bought the game after watching this video and a Metal Jesus video where they said it was a hidden gem. Overall I enjoyed it for what it was, which was like you said: weird obscure little game lol. The character designs were all top notch, but I am a sucker for PS2 era Japanese character designs. And Moebius' own designs are quirky and goody and great.
    The combat sucks ass though save for a few mechanics. I love the block system. All this being said chapter 8 is almost unplayable and unfair and I almost stopped lmao.

    • @machinejuice5965
      @machinejuice5965  3 роки тому

      RockoFutureTumorrow lol no shame in stopping youve seen all there is to see basically. Really the games worth playing for the visuals alone. Everything else isss pretty clunky. Its just that the designs are so ps2y that its so hard not to love
