I was playing this after I play Crusader and I was like... why this two game feel so much alike but so different. Only years later I found out... oh it using the same engine except crusader is an advance version and uses it correctly... instead of Ultima who trying to make it into a platformer but fail big time....

You and Spoony should duke it out

Why did he end up in hell in the first place

I loved última ix. Thanks for restoring honor to the game. 🥹

*Heavy sigh*... Yet another person criticising the Ultima Underworld games that clearly didn't play them when they were new. I did play this when it was brand new and never had a problem with figuring out how to get down to the sewers. It was not "new player unfriendly". Which, BTW, I didn't have the manual when I played it or internet or youtube guides like you do today. So, even if you wanna try to use the "excuse" of being a "retrospective". Your point is still invalid because a new player today can easily lookup a guide and learn how to get into the sewers with no problem.

So I just started playing the remaster of soul reaver 1+2 and haven’t played these games in like 15 years at least. Played the first game on PS1 and the second game on PC and forgot how fucking good they were!!

Masculine presenting? In other words - men. Lol. 2020 culture war is over, brother. We're leaving that backwards rhetoric behind

Ultima Online is my all time favourite game nr1

> now you can play almost every game comfortably with components 3-4 years old Yeah, if in early 00's your hardware was obsolete in one year, now, thx to UE5, new game on your 1060 gonna run as poor as it runs on 4090.

It may only be the 3rd best Thief -game, but it's still a great game, especially with the fixes.

Imagine willingly referring to yourself as Lord British. The games might be iconic but calling yourself British if you don't have to is just cringe.

I liked all the other Ultimas but this one. It sucked

One of my fav games of all time! Do I remember correctly that when you nice to humans you can feed on them, and if you stop before draining (killing) them, they will not turn against you?

8:55 - I was just thinking that the secret passage in your room was in the manual?

the jumping/platforming was just crap.. it reminds me of 'feature creep' and it has no real issue honestly. You said it, death is permanent and falling into the pits without jumping properly means death.. and so save scumming.. was that the intention? Poor game design. In fact I think this game has tones of poor game design choices.

1:22 UO 😭 what is dead may never die

Algorithm sometimes brings great shit. Love your stuff, hope this isn't just popping up in my space

⚠️ Warning about the lore (spelling?) System used to level up your health in this game: years ago, i sucked every ounce of blood i could find, and it broke the game. Near the end of the game i leveled health too many times, and when I loaded it back up, I had NO HEALTH. The whole health meter was atrophied. I could move, but if I jumped, I died. Had to start over. I've never been so greedy ever since

Sometimes I think that old school games back there were more close to the future than most modern games nowadays. Watch System Shock is like watching Alien technologies, hard to believe that this was created by humans, an absolute sci-fi masterpiece.

Had you played the game blindly (authentically), you would have developed a more natural understanding of the game's lore/world, tools and mechanics, what is each best for and also what is best for your gameplay preferences, ie the fun of it without the need of stating, sometimes inaccurately, the obvious. Or, as the developers meant it for the player to discover things for themselves as part of the world's attraction through its natural dangers, secrets & magic and your exploration and journey through it (just for the record, you can dispose of zombies in way more ways than one - if you choose so, which is again part of the poetry of discovery and adapting it to your playstyle as you go). Also and rather importantly, the world changes with each higher difficulty (more tasks/loot/more npcs/enemies/areas to explore, necessity of different approaches, simply more content), underscoring both the exploration and player's gameplay evolution aspect. So for any in-depth summary I would also expect a reviewer to definitely finish it on Expert.

Actually, only Monitor follows one of the Principles. The other two rejected them because they went against what they personally believed (the Mages of Moon believed that magic required the existence of illusion to function, so they rejected the concept of undeniable Truth; the people of Fawn held beauty above all else, so felt no need for unconditional Love). I think Marsten himself tells you this if you ask him about it. And even then, Monitor follows Courage in a strange way; they turned the principle into a rigid, duty-bound code to be followed rather than the true, virtuous expression that Lord British envisioned.

Thief 3 was a game I used to look down on, until I played Thief 2014. Deadly Shadows was a lot more faithful to the series, and the faults were pretty minor in comparison.

well now, mandalore has some competition!

So many polite words to say, 'This is the worst Ultima made.'

I’m of the opinion that this Thief has the best story.

I enjoyed this video. Have you played Clive Barker's Undying? I'd love to see your Review / Retrospective on that game

Comment for the Algod

Similar to the first game, I have very fond memories of this one as well. As I started playing it back in the days when it was released I was joined by my mother, watching me playing the game, being fully immersed into the story and gameplay. She even stayed up past midnight despite having to go to work in the morning. To this day we joke about that one playsession in which I wasn't able to find the special gloves. I simply overlooked them in the right shop, so I visited the other shops as well. It took me quite some time to recognise the gloves. What a mess - but a very funny incident. My mother isn't a gamer herself - but she was always interested in my hobbies and the stories that come out of them. So Thief: Deadly Shadows is not only a very entertaining game, but a hoard of great memories to me.

I first came across your channel today thanks to this video. Your content is great and I hope things go your way. But I have a completely off topic question for you right now. Do you have any connections to Scotland or the Scots?

Christmas came early! Thank you so much for this video, bless you and your family ❤

Merry Christmas, and thanks for all of the great content. Truly an underrated gem of a channel.

Another Finn video ? Count me in !

WOOHOO LETS GOOOOOOOoooo

To add to the immersion, I paused the video every time the tutorial paused the game. It was... paused.

Thief 3 is great! It has physics! And you can play it in first person without a problem. The missions are decent.

I love your videos! They help me enjoy my lazy Sundays: a cup of coffee, a long form video retrospective/review in the background, whilst playing whatever game captures my attention atm. A perfect day.

I love the Babylon 5 Outro. Good Stuff :)

YOOOOOOOO LET'S GOOOOOO NEW FINN DROP BAYBEEEEE~

Great video! I mean, I haven’t seen any of it yet, but I’m sure it will match the track record.

i used to know some finnish blokes who once described thief: deadly shadows as "helsinki simulator" before breaking into an esoteric language of arcane moomin references. this is a trip

do marathon

Is the writing the same?

Great video as always 💪

Just started playing it and I am highly impressed.

kinda odd SR1 works fine on my pc... just SR2 refuses to work

Bullshit. You cant even use the Soul Reaver. I havent beat it yet and I was hoping you get it.

Thief 3 video?
