That happens already at normal!

​@@BucolicInsights So you didn't play on Realistic Normal difficulty, did you? Compared to Realistic, it's totally easy :) I streamed recently, and I can tell you that getting through a location with sniper towers on that difficulty is pure hell. You can barely even see the snipers, and you'll get headshot instantly. The only way to take one out is to wait for lightning to flash in the rain, revealing their position through the shadows. :)

@@dwemero Bro I don't remember if It was normal or hard (but probably hard), but I surely remember getting instakilled many times by snipers.

Hi, it's nice to know that you liked it. I hope you'll find something else equally interesting on my channel!

@@zigmarsz.7540 that's a great deed to be proud of °/ !!

Are you referring to the multiplayer?

@@BucolicInsights yeah

Hi, I replayed Turok "remastered" some years ago and, heck, I totally forgot about a power up that activates Bullet Time! I'm really surprised by this oversight... I think I should play it again in the next few months. What I've always loved about Turok are the bosses, in particular the giant mantyd and the cyber T-Rex. I've never played the sequels, tho.

Thanks pal, let's hope for a rich harvest!

Did they kill each other due to friendly fire?

I didn't know anything 'bout Expedition 33. I'll check it.

That's on my to play list. Iirc, by reading the wiki, it's a sort of spiritual sequel.

I can sound even worse in other videos.

@BucolicInsights nah. You are doing fine enough dude, I understand the issue of second language, sometimes it's very hard to adapt to the pronunciations.

I just like to ironize on my videos, tho I personally don't find much listenable the first ones I made.

I loved it at 34! An amazing surprise!

They were inspired, but lacked time and money.

Pls play it.

Actually, Metropolis Software worked on a cancelled game based on The Witcher but I discovered it only while I was uploading this vid (thanks to another retrospective). This his their original game: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e2jadmqfrdebjJo perhaps some ideas were recycled for archangel.

The next one is, perhaps, even forgotten by its authors, lmao.

Thanks, I hope you'll find something else interesting on my channel!

Hi, thanks for the appreciation! I never noticed this "uh" sound you mention, that's interesting.

Thanks for the comment! Subtitles are mandatory for my videos. Some of my pronunciations may be quite confusing.

Thanks man. It's nice to see different opinions about it.

The worst were the catapults. Sometimes you have the urge to cut down the trees in order to make the heavy ones proceed further.

If you want to know something more about its devs and the cancelled project that preceded it (which was a The Witcher licenced game) I recommend this other retrospective that I discovered while I was uploading my video review: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y4a2kn59q8ySj9k

Actually wayne looks like a good guy known by a few trusty people (see Somsnosa). We just don't know why he decides to go after Gibby, who is a mystery until the end. It's like Earthbound/Mother 2 where the player just wonders since the start who and what is this Gygas that must be defeated (unless you know the story of Mother 1 that gives some hints). I still haven't played Hylics 2.

This game had good intentions and ideas (the first bullet time) but some problems, like the instant reactions of the enemies, kinda ruined part of the experience for me.

yeah it has some problems, but still awesome, instant enemy reaction is kinda easy, when you hear shots just strafe...i love all those angelic powers....also looks awesome with reshade

I still count on the indie devs to repropose the formula of Shogo!

I appreciated W&G when I was a kid, but the avatar resembling that style is more like a coincidence. I did it just for this video just to mimic the claymation theme.

I would keep the turns and review the combo system to make it xenogears style perhaps, but I wouldn't mind it remaining the same. that is, I think that certain classics, rather than remakes, which cost TOO much and very few can afford, need simple remasters done well with some improvements. Mainly it's always a problem of game speed which can be solved with a fast forward function (the days of pompous and long animations, which at the time were a novelty that impressed young players, are no longer the case). that is, put it that way, you just need to know how to emulate them and even casual encounters can be tolerated. then the nice thing is to see how, with simple and limited means, the game was able to make the player feel involved in the storyline because these authors were full of passion and will to innovate.

​@@BucolicInsights I think adding a modern combat system and some climbing would stay within the bounds of "some improvement". Unfortunately turn-based combat is outdated design, many are avoiding Atlus stuff like ReFantazio for that sole reason (even if they sped it up) and the devs definitely had fighting games in their mind.

I thought ReFantazio was making very big numbers.

@@BucolicInsights Yeah but I think it's a game for a (big) niche that knows what it wants (and bought it immediately), but the trend is definitely moving away from turn-based, see the latest 4 FF games

They had a staff of like 100 people in making this game And several composers as well They dont put this much effort into cames anymore.

Google translate: Fico feliz em ler sobre pessoas que realmente aprecio isso

Yeah, the original video was so shallow without those parts.

Glad you liked it. Actually I didn't put much effort in this video. 'twas just a quickie because I didn't want to leave the channel without content for too long.

@BucolicInsights I understand brother. Almost no one talked about this game, your video is an eye candy for my eyes. Please don't lose your accent.

Losing my accent would be like losing my head. I mean, it's quite impossible, lol.

Southern italy.

You mean Spacebase Startopia? Damn I even forgot that existed...

Hi, thanks for the suggestion! Believe me, I would do a lot of games but I don't have much time and I've already scheduled the next ones. Also, I'll reprise JRPGs meybe in December because they take a lot of time and already decided which ones to cover. I even bought 'em for collection purposes. Thousand Arms looks very nice, but it will take a lot of time till I'll play it (I also checked the prices.. it's pretty expensive D: !! But maybe I found a good sale outside of ebay...). In the meanwhile I hope you'll find something else interesting in this channel to check.

@@contrabandresearch8409 yeah, good ol' stuff. If you're interested in old and forgotten FPSs I also covered XS (I like to call it the most unknown "revolutionary" fps) and Requiem: Avenging Angel.

Hi, It's been a long time since I saw you in the comment section!

@@BucolicInsights I have been absolutely swamped with work, but I finally had some free time to catch up on your videos. Don't be put off by those who complain about the accent or any pronunciation errors, the important thing is that you manage to convey your love and enthusiasm for the games, which you're doing fantastically !!

Actually, when I see people complain 'bout my english I don't feel anything bad. It's part of the game! I even find my own first videos hardly listenable, lmao. I must add that I was expecting much more bashing but, instead, it has been quite calm.

Let's hope there will be a remaster that will increase its popularity!

Armor progression is also top tier too as the armor gets more and more Seru-y.

That's so unfortunate :c I mean, i'ts not a problem (I actually laughed). When I started this past time I knew that many people would denounce my accent, errors, etc. It's part of the game, lol.

Yeah, I always loved these flawed yet ambitious games. Replaying it after two decades has been kind of entertaining: the sudden deaths, the savescumming, the "wtf should I do now?!" moments, it brings me back to old days.

If you've not played it, maybe give Project IGI a go, one of my faves from the era. I didn't like the sequel much but a ton of people do like it.

That's a nice suggestion. During high school I only played a bit of the second, because I found it on a sale for 5€, and it was difficult as hell (lot of people bash it).

For unknown reasons this comment isn't visible on YT Studio. I mean, wtf.

@@BucolicInsights It do be like that sometimes, no idea why

Now I can see it by sorting Newest in the top right, instead of Top.

I hope it will gain the recognition it deserves one day! About the different endings: I would have liked to see some consequences from the many multiple choices in dialogues, yes, but the choices after the final boss that triggered little differences in the final scene were still a nice addition. Edit: actually there are some consequences! like the dancing teacher from the sol fever disco that will come to Rim Elm if Noa becomes the champion. Well, better then nothing.

I even possess the second but never played it.I bought it at gamestop for 5€ maybe 14 years ago and said "well I'll play the original first, one day" and forgot about it, lmao.

@@BucolicInsights as someone who played the first but didn't finish it, I wasn't even aware there was a sequel, I'd love to watch a review of yours on it!

@@MachadoDeAssis It will come, but first I have to cover a bit too many classics that I bought for collection or that I already owned but never played/just started and then delayed. I even bought an USB adapter for the Dreamcast controller, in order to play a certain classic that I just tried when I was still 18; but first I wanna play and review some other niche eurojank stuff.
