"Well there's Ark Survival Evolved"
And then my video paused to buffer without me realizing it. So I thought it was the longest and most hilarious beat of silence ever.
ah that happened to me too a lot when my computer was slower than austrailian dialup internet
He reviewed my favourite game.
And he actually LIKED it.
I'll call that a win.
God bless cave story, but good lord the hoops you have to go through to get the secret final level and ending.
For those of you who haven't played it, there is one point in the game in which you get to a room with a ravine running through it, and what looks like an exit on the other side. Upon entry a scripted event plays out in which you see one of the main characters teleport in out of thin air and will drop down the breadth of the ravine. Should you follow him down the ravine you will discover the walls are too steep to scale back up and you are now stuck with no option save to speak to him. Now in case you were simply concerned with the immediate progression, the jump across the ravine is extraordinarily difficult and on a first run you'd be likely to think to be simply impossible, and that you are, in fact, meant to fall down the ravine to progress, given not only will running it to short result in you falling down the ravine, but there's a slight lip going over the top of the platform with the exit so jumping *too late* from the starting platform will result in you hitting a solid wall and falling into the ravine, *meaning there is a specific point at which you are meant to jump from in order to successfully cross*. Back to the manner at hand, speaking to him will reveal that he is dying and entrusts to you his jetpack before passing on in a poof of white smoke. Equipping the jetpack allows you to to scale the ravine and escape through the exit.
Sounds like natural progression right?
Well, what you were supposed to do for the secret final level and ending involves *completely ignoring the man stuck at the bottom of the ravine* (most likely the decision so backwards Yahtzee's own skeleton attempted to escape his body) and executing that one, extremely obscure and precise jump to get to the across. You then have to go through the next few levels handicapped due to the lack of jetpack, jump through a couple other ridiculous hoops (that I won't get into now) until you get back to the main hub area, whereupon the man who fell down the ravine will teleport in, *apparently unscathed and quite alive*, and give you an *upgraded version of the jetpack. There is no allusion to him ever having been in mortal danger, or even mention of what happened down in that ravine, how speaking to him might have lead him to ending his life, or how holding unto the jetpack might have saved him somehow.*
I think Yahtzee's fully justified to assume Pixel may be just a little bit mad after going through that, *and more...*
Slug of Borg lol try hard mode compared to hard mode Cave Story the Ballos fight is a godsend
I also assume that it also requires you not get the machine gun, since otherwise you could use it’s recoil to keep yourself in the air
Actually no you can get the machine gun and still fight ballos i have done it many many times and won
Actually with some really well timed jumps you can make it back out of the pit if you get stuck down there with him
Underrated comment we have here
Yep. You totally nailed the description of the difficulty scaling
The moral of the video is. Play hatfall before it costs and before you revisit it and think it became crap.
Rodolfo Hernandez "Before it costs"? It cost me over $2 on the Google Play Store.
LifeWulf well not if you play it on a computer.
Rodolfo Hernandez
I will admit, I did not know it was also on PC. I went straight to looking for it on mobile since it was clearly meant as a mobile game.
Rodolfo Hernandez I'm gonna hold out on playing hatfall so I can come back to it in 5 years and call it an indie classic with a hidden message for the modern world.
Chip yes! Lol
Cave Story is basically a Ghibli film in 8 bit format.
Cobalt225 That's a good comparison actually
Holy shit, you're right.
Now thats a statement i can get behind
it's more of a 16 bit format but yeah
There's this alternate telling where it's from the point of Sue. Then it suddenly becomes the great lost Roald Dahl novel.
"It's soccer meets driving"
"Okay stop going on"
*tears up* This is why the world needs your reviews
cave story is still free. cave story+ cost 15$, but it comes with some visual and upgrades and 2 different soundtrack. you can still get every vital element of the game from the freeware...
Yahtzee’s clearly knowledgeable on games, yet his research is sooo often just not there. A curious case.
I wouldn't say Cave story's difficulty necessarilly curves gracefully. It's quite steady for the first 4/5ths of the game, catching you off-guard on occasion, but never to frustrating lengths and it never seems to be getting harder so much as it is accomodating your progression and growth in that Dark Souls kind of way, where the game demands as much from you at every moment of the way. Then by the time you get to the last platforming bit, it suddenly skyrockets the difficulty up by a signifigant amount. The last cave can be extremely difficult for your first time and the final boss is 1 fight too long and has an odd subverted difficulty to itself. Then you get to the good ending final dungeon and the game spikes drastically again. While the last cave raised the difficulty to an excpected level in comparison to the rest of the game, the Bloodstained Sanctuary feels like your playing an entirely different game from how difficult it is. A massively dawnting marathon that doesn't feel seemless in the difficulty ascent at all.
I've cried trying to beat Cave Story's secret ending. Not whimpers, I'm talking full-on bitch tears.
DeusGladiorum I got to the first stage of the super-secret final boss and died, and said "okay, close enough."
That entire level is madness.
Obilisk Agreed, I have beaten it before but even on return trips I have a ton of trouble. If you don't have the heart jar, mastery in using the jetpack, almost all if not all of the health upgrades, the spur or nemesis and the patience to grind health in the locker boss you are screwed. Even if you have all of the above it's still ridiculous!
DeusGladiorum That beats the time I ripped a key off my keyboard in a fit of rage after dying in the same place about 9000 times in Half-Life.
Ballos?
DeusGladiorum Oh, but believe you me, doing that final level blind was basically like the goddamn moon landing. I was so happy i forgot i even had therapy to go to.
A retro review of a particularly GOOD "retro" game.
Committing full ritual seppuku with a sharpened paperclip is much easier than getting the sooper secrit ending of this game, so I can only wonder if Yahtzee even tried...
...then again, I can't imagine if committing sudoku is easier than doing reviews of games for a living.
He did he said was harder than trying to teach badgers English
Rocco Sato The super secret ending is like Dark Souls. People say it's hard, but once you start practicing it's entirely possible. Just remember to save the health potion for the final boss.
Loremaster Helix Id like to think Im a competent gamer, but I cant beat that super secret ending. So ruff
Loremaster Helix I played through the entire game again because I didn't...
Loremaster Helix one time, 5 years ago, while having my daily dose of hell run, I forgot I had a pot. Still came on top of it though, at 5 minutes too.
It's entirely doable if you keep doing it for a week ( I ONLY played cave story back then, every day, so maybe not. Results may vary.)
that "im never going to do kingdom hearts" reference, you have t hand it to yahtzee he knows just what wound to rub salt in
And in the end he reviewed KH3
Beautiful
@@TheGreyJayLP Because reviewing KH3 as the first KH game you ever played is like reviewing Jurassic World 2 and not knowing that the Jurassic Park series existed.
@@adamloga3788 Well yeah, did you expect Yahtzee to read up on the intense lore of a series he doesn’t give a shit about? The only reason he even played it was because he knew he could shit on it in a video for lulz
@@adamloga3788 Kingdom hearts really isn’t that good, he would’ve hated any of them. Terrible narrative, awkward menu/real time gameplay, very button mashy, cliche characters and plot elements, the worlds are small and (poorly) rehash old Disney stories, etc.
People just like them because of the nostalgia and the novelty of the crossover (but even the crossover elements were mostly MIA after the first game). The soundtrack and character designs are probably the only worthwhile elements of the games.
I love Cave Story. It's free. And it's awesome.
14.99
Master Chef you can download it for free at cavestory.org
Master Chef Yeah, you only miss cosmetic stuff, easy and hard difficulty and multiple save slot (original only has one). The core game is still free.
Aren't there extra levels in the paid version, too? I honestly prefer the original art and music, but I kinda want to buy the steam version to see what that's about.
You can have multiple save files if you just make a copy of the game.
I have never heard a more accurate description of the Blood-Soaked Sanctuary than the one you just gave, Yahtzee. Bravo.
Holy shit. A somewhat positive review?
Well fucking done, Yahtzee.
***** how long have you been watching ZP?
Eye in the Sky ZP?
***** ZP. (if you can't figure out what that means, then this conversation is over)
Eye in the Sky It's more like I have a pounding headache and am very tired from working all day, and therefore cannot piece together simple connections that I should know.
***** Zero Punctuation. He's done a few positive reviews, Psychonauts, Spec Ops the Line, Saints Row, and I think FTL. There are probably more but I can't recall. People like to be elitist prats on the internet.
I had no idea about the jet pack either because I always assumed that jump was impossible. The clues were there, in that one room that contains the hidden passage to hell in a random bookcase that has Booster's journal talking about said jet pack and saying that if he didn't die, he might've been able to make it better. Then again, not everyone's going to check every bookshelf or realize that you can make the jump over that pit, etc.
Those things aside, you don't need the best endings or the best weapons or life capacity, etc. because of the strengths it focuses on. Unless you're a completionist like me.
If look at the floor of the platform you have to jump, a single unique block will have a red dot. That's the point where you have to jump. Sneaky pixel.
Darkmega11 The "second quest" for the better ending is pretty rad, though, and without it, the game isn't nearly as memorable. If you don't do it, you never even find out your character's name, and you miss out on a bunch of other things that deepen the whole experience.
So I feel like 'skipping the jet pack' is actually an integral part of the Cave Story experience. If you never do it, then you never really see what makes the game special.
Darkmega11 you can always fly over it with a fully upgraded machine gun
That secret ending is more like hearding said honey badgers on the side of said building while having them pass said class WHILST planning a moon landing singlehandedly while taking a shit. Trust me. I got that ending
Justin O'COnnor Must've been the greatest fucking bowel movement of your life. I salute you, sir.
I think I managed to get through it once, but I'm still not sure if I dreamed it or if I just watched one too many videos of that fight.
DAMNIT looking back at this comment I realize I spelled my name wrong. It's Justin Oconnor not Justin O'COnnor
I got it too, and I never want to do that again.
I remember the Stegosaurus pulling cartwheels, in the Let's Drown Out of Ark Survival.
That was the best part
One guy made the game and music
That's damn impressive, especially for a freeware game of 2004
oh lord.... Watching this at the end of 2023, Cave Story is nearly 20 years old. This video is retro now.
That is the best analogy of the best ending's difficulty I've ever heard.
Do Hatfall!
Ryan Amberger Wouldn't that be like some sort of self-abuse? :-P
DovahSpy Yahtzee interviewing his own game is like doing a circle jerk with razor blades for hands
Keith Fraser Yes.And that would be funny.
Ryan Amberger it's really good
"Play hatfall you pricks!" xD Best part!
Your analogy for hells difficulty was absolutely spot on , at least with me . Some people crazy skilled and it doesn't phase them.
I've watched this video a bunch of times and just realized his drink spillage spells "Kingdom Hearts". That bastard!!!! Lol
that bit about the locked door across a whole field of enemies
god i felt that
i suffered so much for kazuma and his thanks was to offer to take me off the island before i defeat the doctor after i suffered so hard to even get there
I actually took that ending once - you escaped, The End.
I think the Doctor unleashes rabid bunny monsters on the world because no one manages to stop him, but you've got a head start in running away...
“Oh scrotum inflammations” is an exclamation I should use more often.
1:07 Yahtzee is pissing on Kingdom hearts.
Oh Yahtzee, you lovable rogue
I actually map hacked the game to have a healing and save point right before the secret final boss, because I was so fed up of having to go so far just to get my clock cleaned at the very end.
I kid you not, immediately after doing that, I reached the final boss at full health and beat him ON THAT TRY, thus nullifying the value of either of those tools.
Turns out the power was inside me all along....
8DDDDD
Atticus Zeb I stopped playing the game because that sequence of boss fights was such bullshit. I’d beat the second stage doctor and he’d bugger off but I couldn’t get past the next big fight. And the only way to get health after that was insanely obtuse and cheap.
I know it`s not exactly a save point, but before the boss there`s a part where you can farm those little angel pricks without a lot of environmental risk, specially on the ceiling miniboss before it. I also have to say that I haven`t played Cave Story in 4 years but I was absolutely obsessed so I hope I got it right
For the "Super secret" Jetpack thing... there's a reason there is that out of place blatant red strip of pixels before you fall down there. (That's how far you have to be to make the jump.) Japanese-based developers tend to use subtle hints more so than western ones (Which is why FF13 has western progression with Japanese devs. GOD HAVE MERCY ON--**is stepped on by lightning doing her linear walk through 1/3 of the game.**)
yeah those were added for the port, originally you actually did just have to *know* to Do A Thing
I love Cave Story but wow it is obtuse if you're going in blind looking for the good ending
Why are people raving on about how amazing Rocket League is? It has essentially been around for six years and nobody gave a shit then!
dick chappy I think it's because it is a bit easier to remember than "Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars". It's also new and shiny!
Hot Headed José reviewed it recently.
dick chappy Since it's free on PS+ this month, a lot of folks are trying it out that now, where it wouldn't have even crossed their radars previously.
If it's not on Steam or a "next-gen" console, nobody cares.
Welcome to the modern gaming market.
I have no idea the game looks like a stupid pile of shit
it's really just a phase it'll go away soon
0:46 That has to be a reference to his ARK stream on his channel where that exact thing happened. I forgot he referenced it in a Zero Punctuation video.
I lost it at "rimbly grimbly bim".
Ayyy, I think the game leads you quite naturally into the non jetpack ending if you are the explorer type. "Hey, I can just jump there, right?"
They should probably change this channels name from "The Escapist" to "Zero Punctuation".
Or "Yahtzee and Friend."
This comment is still relevant.
Welp >_>
the anaology for the secret ending dificulty actually makes sense
I just finished GCSE English Lit! Results on the 10th can't wait
ps3shark1 what do you mean it's impossible. I and my whole year did English Lit a month ago
thomas lincoln I am an IGCSE Graduate , and yes results do come out after 2 months from the exam
Restless Mech well now i feel old...
What in the bumblefuck gave you the ludicrous idea that anyone other than you gives any amount of shit?
***** yikes hostile
"Rocket League. Go on. It's soccer meets driving.. OK, stop going on." LOL
For those wondering, Yahtzee actually tried Rocket League and liked it.
I really like Cave Story overall, sure the good ending is complete bull, and the Jellyfish juice sidequest is horrible, but I had no problem with the Jump Arcs, it was easy with Difficulty increases in the correct part except for Hell, which in my opinion was actually EASIER than facing off against the boss fights before it. (Go figure) My only REAL grudge with it is that it is WAY to easy to pick up energy crystals with the nemesis, while half the other time it's like balancing on a tight rope while reading Hamlet with all the exaggerated movements of an interpretative dance.
Oliver Johnson The nemesis is a punishment for giving away the blade, which is designed to be better than the nemesis.
MrSailing101 Yeah I figured that out when I was at the Gigantic Block Boss.
***** Yeah, that was the reason why Hell was so easy for me, Oh ALL WEAPONS LOSE THEIR LEVELS. Oh? Well FUCK YOU, I HAVE THE SPUR.
Oliver Johnson
It helps to level up the super missiles anyway
"Hey Ballos, nice final form you got there, love the screaming bloody faces. it would b a sham if someone were to stand in your eye socket and unload every last missile they have into your face all at once."
Oh wait, I just did.
Final form dead in a quarter second
I like your name
Nicalis apparently swindled Studio Pixel into giving them the Cave Story IP when they were SUPPOSED to be negotiating for the license to port the game to consoles so you are no longer supporting Studio Pixel, but rather Nicalis. If you want to know more about Nicalis, I strongly suggest that you look up the 2019 article by Kotaku's Jason Schreier regarding that company!
holy shit i didnt knew you reviewed this
Oh man thank you Yahtzee This has been one of my favorites for the longest time.
Me: I don't feel like untangling my headphones, I'll just leave the volume up for this one.
* watches first 20 seconds *
Now where did I put them again...?
I love your videos when ever a new one is posted it makes my day thousand times better
Do Kingdom Hearts already!! Wasn't the drink enough!
Accurate review. Not too harsh. Exactly the kind of criticism I would have expected. Seriously, the whole nearly drowning yourself things was kind of stupid, but it taught you a valuable lesson. How to swim, and how long before you die. But, that could have been done many other ways. The first playthrough of this game i was so lost and confused, but never to the point of giving up. This is a hard, but fun game. Highly recommend.
For real, I hate both driving and racing games, but Rocket League is fucking awesome.
+InWhichIDie And rocket league isn't fucking annoying like most "Car soccer" games. Rather, it is extremely fun.
***** "Like most 'Car soccer' games"? Is this a common genre? Rocket League is the first one that I've encountered.
InWhichIDie It still isn't something he could do a substantial review about. Not much in the way of story, and for the gameplay "it's fun" just about covers it.
Thirsk There've been others. It's not the first of it's kind. Just the first good one of it's kind
EthnickyJazz There is no need to be upset.
Shh...
Lord do I love his obsession with dolphins.
I'm sorry... I just couldn't get passed the fact that Yahtzee called Soccer... soccer. He's a Brit, shouldn't he be calling it foot ball and teasing us Americans about the stupid name we gave it? I think I need to lie down.
GroundPoundable Except it's the Brits who made up the name Soccer. (From "As'soc'iation football") They only started disapproving of the name when Americans started using it
***** ...So Soccer came from them? Well ain't that a kick in the teeth.
GroundPoundable Yea but he's an Aussie brit. Guess he got used to our football and started calling EU football soccer.
GroundPoundable it's a lot easier to tell what he means when he says soccer.
matthew fahrenholtz But he still had a soccer ball on screen. I'm pretty sure people would have picked up on that.
The fact that this game of passion which the man put five years of work into all by himself with such a deeply sad and moving story, engaging gameplay, and brilliant level design, was and still is free to this very day blows my mind, Pixel truly is one of the most admirable game developers I’ve ever learned about and this game was an integral part of my childhood, I really wish it wasn’t as relatively little known about as it is nowadays
Did anyone else see "kingdom hearts" written on the floor when he was cleaning up his spilled drink?
Kodie Russell Yes, its a joke about how he's never going to review it
MCHellshit nooooooo
Well considering that he mainly likes good stories, and Kingdom Hearts is about as well written as the average KH fanfic and the plot itself being one of the most impenetrable I have ever seen, I completely get why he wouldn't want to review it.
I bet when kh3 comes out he will. Just wait and see
Even with KH 3, that doesn't change the fact that the KH story is filled with so many retcons and inconsistencies that even fanfics would say "okay you really need some attention to detail there buddy."
There's still a free version too. Also I think that the secret ending was meant to actually be, you know, secret. Easter eggs that size are too difficult to put into regular games, leave it to a solo dev to do something that crazy.
I laughed way too hard at this whole thing
He actually showed a bit of mercy for a game
Fabled-Player3 He did for Earthbound too.
Nurseaid:i love when media portrays an accurate-and-very-real heart instead of the "pnes and butt seen from above"
I don't think I ever properly beat Cave Story. I remeber after finally getting through the marathon that is the final boss, everything started exploding and I ended up running into some kind of shack and saving cause I was desparate for a save point. Turns out the door had locked behind me, and now I had no choice but to either beat the secret nigh impossible ending or start the entire game over again.
Dequan Milete theres a way to go back if you checked the bookshelf
Kek intensifies
You know, I was about to ask why you never mentioned the sanctuary level (the one with spikes and angels all over the place.) Then you did at the last few seconds. Gotta love it when a game with controls as tight as this give you a secret ending that involves challenging every mechanic you know to your limit instead of babying your way into it thinking people might complain it's too hard.
This seems more like an actual review than the rest of his videos, don't you agree? xD
Icanhazmochi He was actually fairly sedate compared to his usual fast talking gimmick.
Did anyone notice that the drink spillage around 1:07 spells out Kingdom Hearts. hmm I would what this could mean?
The joke is that it was "a sign from the heavens" that Steam recommended him Cave Story, but a drink spill magically spelling out "Kingdom Hearts" is "oh, time to mop up."
I was waiting for this for a very long time.
Why the fuck is half of this comment section "waah rocket league is not bad" ?
'after cleaning up a dirnk spillage' heh, I only just noticed the pun.
did yatze just say fuck it to rocket league :.......
Sebastian Nilsson
>multiplayer
Sebastian Nilsson And the australian goverment
LifeWulf >meme arrows
Rocket League is the most addictive game I've played in years, and I never normally play sports games. His loss.
Sebastian Nilsson Yeah, because Rocket League has no substance or anything to talk about. You ready for the full review? "It's soccer, while driving..." Done. Print. Sold.
Just FYI, in case anyone didn't know, the original Cave Story's still free. The costy-money one is the updated version revamped by Nifflas (another legendary indie developer) to have improved graphics and music.
Fucking gcse english lit.
Albert Wallace Got a B m8
just got an A. Not a single A* in my entire school
Albert Wallace Never gotten higher than a B so far.
Albert Wallace I got 3 G's on my first try, did it again, only B's, then fucking (A)ced my A-Levels.
I have no Idea how to school.
Albert Wallace Don't mind lit to much but I hate language. It's so boring.
I actually played Hatfall before I had even heard of this channel
Goddamn hilarious game, 10/10
The best Cave Story port is Virtual Boy. #VirtualBoyMasterrace
3:35 That's mostly because he begins driving the plot about midway through the game. But It's still pretty great.
Rocket League is one of the best games to come out in a long, long time. Simple, brilliant fun. Alas, Yahtzee is too 'edgy' for games like that.
His description of the secret ending is tame.
fun fact, you can still download the free version on pixels site, the version on steam is the remastered version
I got all 4 endings
Nematic lmao
Which one
oh yeah? well I beat the blood stained sanctuary using the invisible blocks mod.
I beat it in 2:34.
Nematic I am try Harding to beat it
that was
that was
actually a nice review
not what i expected from you, man
I've been slogging through the Last Cave (on track for the Blood-Stained Sanctuary) and boy oh boy am i having a bad time (on Cave Story+ I have the freeware version, but didn't bother to play it until a friend gave me CS+ on the switch)
I never imagined you'd review this game, overall it doesn't sound like you hated it. But you haven't taken into account that the game was beta tested by about 4 people.
Oh and also that if you ignore getting the jet pack not only do you save someone's life, you also get given a better jet pack!
2 people's lives
zxin's World A point which they do actually point out in some notes later in the game. The idea is that you can replay the game, knowing that you need to leave that jetpack, to go for the good ending.
QwertyuiopThePie Yeah, I know that was pretty smart of Mr. Amaya.
zxin's World Not picking up the jetpack is really the least intuitive way to get the better ending, let alone save 2 character's lives. It's a shitty mechanic since there's no reason to do so other than "knowing that it gets the good ending", which you can't know unless you skip it (presumably by accident or somehow), or unless you read a guide online.
Never heard of this before but i have seen it's.. ART👀👌
Rocket league is dope though.
-_-
The DanD guy I think he just passed on it because it's a multiplayer-centric game. Yes, it has a single player mode, but that's clearly not what it was designed for.
LifeWulf but Rocket League is dope though.
vids2002 don't you make that face at me, Rocket League is dope.
I didn't say he should play it, I didn't say he's bad for not playing it, I'm stating only that Rocket League is dope.
The DanD guy Dope huh? They have meeting about that type of thing. A bit like AA, you might need to check yourself out :P
Curse you for spilling that beautiful drink yahtzee 1:07
Hmmm, personally i really liked Rocket League and Ark: Survival Evolved.
But then again... I came here to see him shit on games, not to gleefully stuff his joyous experiences with dinosaur poop or model cars on Ephedrine down my throat.
Omg yes. That jetpack made me SO SOUR.
"let's all laugh at an industry that never learns anything tee hee hee
cool facts that make me feel old:
the ps3 is now a retro console
the PS4 is not far behind
Anyone else notice the "drink spillage" spells out kingdom hearts..... (gulp) dear god I hope he doesn't review it. He will rip that game a new one
I think this was the best episode of ZP ever made. Shame I waited almost two years to watch it.
*_ahem_*
Jesus, cave story came out in 04?? I only first heard of it back in, like, 2011.
One noun. Undertale.
+me477777
Subterranean Legacy.
Underground Book
Two words: Trashy community.
Its funny how you all have an adjective and a noun.
+me477777
Good thing I didn't give specific parameters for what two words I would use.
As someone who has lived in California their whole lives, hearing the word "July" associated with "the cold bite of winter" threw me off so badly since lamp posts start to melt in July for us. Thank god he said Australian or else my brain might have exploded.
Hearing the word 's**cer' in a British accent makes me shudder and extremely disappointed.
Yahtzee, you are never allowed to return!
3:50 never played the game, but I figure that was a AC Unity reference.
"...when everything takes on the atmosphere of morning on the last day of a mid-to-low tier anime convention."
Christ, been there...not much else sadder than that.
Still one of my very fondest memories of playing the vidya. Adorable game.
1:23
Who wants to bet that Yahtzee really did that at some point in his life?
It's raining hats! Hallelujah!
Ahhhhh new video, you made my morning😍😍😘
Also you can still download Cave Story for free. And you can also buy the + version on Steam.
Cave Story is still free. You can still download the '03 version off of Pixel's site. It's just the enhanced, lengthened, etc versions that cost ya.
I loved Cave Story. It was one of those games that surprised me out of no where.
I always enjoy watching this review after the Ark Let's Drown Out episode, so I can see the stego
Oh my god that analogy for the difficulty curve is perfect. I had the bad idea to try and beat the game 100% on hard mode, meaning I didn't have either the jetpack or machinegun to fight the core and that I have to make it through hell with only 8 hp. Meaning that everything nearly 1 shots me except for the very basic enemy.
I started that playthrough 3 years ago. I've yet to complete it, and I'm not sure I ever will. The closest I've got is about 2/3rds of the way down the hp bar of the final bosses final form.
Trying to teach badgers english lit on the side of a wall is pretty damn accurate lol
Thank you for finally reviewing this game
Oh man, I remember my run at the secret ending level. The Bloodstained Sanctuary is no goddamn joke, it took me, like, two play sessions of a solid four hours each to beat it. Or something like that.
