I adore hackers memory to bits and I am glad others do to. That ending is gonna stay with me for a long time. I am a little sad Keisuke is a silent character because in my opinion he has way more of a character than our redheaded Aiba and more dialogue for him would have made the scenes pop a bit more but im kinda impressed that he was so expressive to convey stuff in the scenes even with the assets they had. Like when he comforts Erika or his famous :3 face when he wants to goof.

Can I recommend Boktai? It has an extensive collaboration with Battle Network starting with 4 and it's a Hideo Kojima game. I'd describe it as a vampire western science fiction stealth action game for the gba.

Where would I go about getting a rom of this game? Hypothetically of course Great video btw

15:05 This... I got wiped by Dynasmon a couple times, he mopped the floor with my party and even after leveling I spent more time trying to land a hit between heals, a hit that would do a tiny fraction of his HP, then my LadyDevimon evolved to Lilithmon and... well, he and Leopardmon got one shot, my final party lineup was Sakuyamon, Mastemon and Lilithmon, Sakuyamon removes their buffs and buffs my team, Mastemon heals and does AoE, Lilithmon is an absolute steamroller, only had to use a few more members on the very final boss and because I was... unaware of one part of the fight and made it longer than it should have

Labramon was actually in the anime before this. She was a digital recreation of Takato's cousin's dog created by Takato's uncle. It was all in the first of 2 Tamers movies

12:48 Labramon debuted back in 2001.

Wait, what’s wrong with the vaporeon sprite?

I don't mind getting to choose between several routes if you have a minimum percentage of choices geared towards a certain path. Personally, I made it a point to avoid looking at the indicator that tells you the alignment of each conversational choice in the name of making unbiased, natural decisions, so I ended up with several choices during the path split, which I enjoy since it feels like it symbolizes the idea of reaching a turning point in your life where one decision dictates what kind of person you'll define yourself as from that moment onwards even if you were making multifaceted choices before that point while you were finding your footing in life. In my case, I usually ended up making Harmonic choices since they were geared towards looking out for your companions while keeping a level head for their sake, but would lean into Moral choices whenever the Harmonic ones felt too cold and impersonal. As such, I ended up taking the Moral path in the end because keeping those I felt indebted to safe were always my primary concern, not something as large-scale as saving the world.

Platinum Sukamon, Platinum Numemon and EXP USB break the game. You’re welcome.

You know I was expecting the game to be a kinda lame asset reuse of the other story games of the time but from what you described it seems to be its own thing. Big agree on the villain though, they sound very interesting and I wouldn't be upset to see the idea reused again in a future Story game

now there's only one major game that needs a fan translation. Digimon Story Super xros wars, the first game Kazumasa Habu produced, the man who later produced Digimon world re:digitize and Decode, Adventure psp, cyber sleuth and hacker's memory and Digimon Survive. Story Super xros wars is the game that made him realize (said by him in interviews) that digimon games despite having kids as the target demographic the ones buying the xros wars game were young adults and university students, the sales of that game among young adults was the reason he completely changed his approach with the next game (Re:Digitize), giving the title a style never seen before in digimon aiming to appeal to an older demographic, and it worked, with cyber sleuth being the deinitive turning point due to its success compared to games pre Habu, which in my opinion saved the games. Digimon Story Lost Evolution (the first game habu worked on but only as an assistant) and Story Super Xros Wars are the last games with the previous approach of having young kids as the target demographic. It's crazy how different the games are now compared to back then in that sense. Digimon world re:Digitize Decode for the 3DS (which is an improved version of Re:Digitize, making the first one not really worth checking compared to decode that has a lot of improvements and an expasion to the base Re:Digitize story in it) has a fan translation since 2020 I think, by the same group who fan translated the Lost Evolution game and the Rom patched is quite easy to find, just in case you want to chech it out in the future, that game barely has any reviews.

20:35 nice Komasan, bro

WAS THAT FIRE EMBLEM MUSIC PLAYING IN THE BACKGROUND?

MAAAAAAAN over 30 minutes??? Let's go!🔥

I think Bobby is amazing and his channel deserves more views and I should get more into Digimon soon... KINDA

Good video. Greymon is good and best in game.

Hey, great video, but the sound is a bit funny, especially the clips from the game. There might be something wrong with the levels.

From one Digimon fan to another, it's great seeing youtubers cover the more obscure Digimon games! Dropping you a like and subscribe!

NEW BOBBYHOP VID LETS GO

Personally, I still vastly prefer this game over dawn and dusk. Yes, the second half was a massive pain in the ass, but at least the first half was a fairly smooth experience. Dawn and Dusk is a tedious from beginning to end. Even navigating the hub world is super annoying and confusing. In this I didn't have such problem. I also like how there's an actual incentive to explore, as you can find secret boss fights that way. I also kinda get addicted to grinding while listening to Oneyplays so... I just have a high tolerance for that stuff. Though Digimon world DS remains the best game in the story series pre-cyber sleuth

Good review

I ended the game and my Kerpymon (Evil) felt seriously so overpowered. Never left the main party cause he has an INT-piercing special move. Literally would almost one shot everyone.

Didn't care much for either this or the sidequel, but that omnimon moment. Damn, that worked for me.

what is that action rpg game with omnimon in it??

Hacker's memory has actually been delisted from the vita store too appearently.

I bought this game from the pawn....takk about hidden gem

Ik im late but can i just say how happy I am we don't have a silent protagonist this time. Like it drives me up a wall when a game with a story has a silent protagonist with the only reason being "its supposed to be your story"

I prefer this to next order because it reminds me of dw 3 with how the leveling works, plus it actually lists the digivolution requirements from the start so you don't have to play a guessing game.

The ending to this game absolutely crushed me but it was a journey to the very end. Even though the farewell was bitter sweet, it’s better this way.

I would never say the ending was bad, much the opposite actually, but it sure broke my heart.

Hey! Just found your channel, really love what youre doing. Kepp it up!

The best metaphor I have for Hacker’s Memory is what Victory and Death is to Revenge of the Sith. It absolutely is just building off of what came before, but it ends up being better

I do agree that making remakes of the Digimon Story from the DS games, including the Story Lost Evolution. I enjoyed so much Digimon Story DS and loved the atmosphere, although I would love to forget Alphamon's role in that entry. Story Sunburst and Moonlight would benefit in improving the narrative, because Sunburst doesn't have the whole story unlike Moonlight, and I even would enjoy that they add new Digimon and new story for Sunburst and Moonlight, like adding a plot surrounding Grace Novamon or even making something with the Savers cast, because they are somehow connected (and also that would change the lore in those games, because a port in Digimon, like Re:Digitize Decode, do become the like the new base for the franchise in general). Lost Evolution just needs a translation, but if they make an official remake it would be the best.

I find it really interesting that Digimon Survive is like a reinterpretation of Digimon Adventure, and make it better than Adventure. Like one concept that Kakudo - Adventure's director and main writer - had was that Digimon are like Yōkai and a reflection of our being, rather than digital monsters that fight because is their nature. I also enjoy the concept of how the attributes or the name of the creatures are like 'moral, harmony and wrath' and 'Kemonogami' instead of the digital attributes and Digimon, because they aren't discovered by anyone else than the Professor, but they are still addressed as the mythological entities. It fits well with the atmosphere and theme of Survive.

Was not ready for that opening theme! Memories. Good times.

Eeehhh... Nah, if they would remake older story games I'd prefer them to make them more "free" in digivolution lines just like CS, because it felt really suffocating with that little options they had when I played them, and I literally played all of them, even including Lost Evolution. Especially frustrating in them was to see literal dead end evo-lines that just end on adult level digimon

while you are training your digimon back up to progress further in the game you can do other things like farm resources to upgrade the city or farm money to build up your stockpile of support items to help you on your adventure

I have never met someone who played DW2 on the PS2 as the manual recommended but me and I didn't experience long loads on the PS2. =\

@BobbyHopp Thanks for the Digimon World 2003 soundtrack. You unlocked some childhood core memories <3 great Video, was unsure weather to get the complete edition or not for switch, and you video really solidified my choice on getting it! <3

record the entire game, mix in some digivolution clips from the various Digimon animes and you got one hell of a Digimon movie.

I have played NEXT ORDER so much and so often I can get Palmon's line up to mega without the games help. That also how I proved it's nearly impossible to beat NEXT ORDER on Gen1. I'm going to get there one day! I will beat the game with First Gen Digimon!

Another great game who was 90% dialogue and 10% battle it was 13 Sentinels Aegis Rim. I recommand it a lot. ;)

My favorite part was when Dex was like "Lan check out Gutsman new move" and Gutsman started twerking while oiled up

Great review! ;) Honestly I really like Digimon Survive and for a first time attempt, they did a pretty good job melding the Digimon story into a Visual Novel style. It was truly a love letter to the OG fans of the Adventure 01-02 & Tamers. Unfortunately, for people who are not accustomed to VN titles, Survive can be a hard pill to swallow. As for the battle system - it was ok; serviceable and fun at times but it just needed that little something to spice it up and make it addictive. However, the digivolutions were kinda a bit lacking, especially when it came to the other partner Digimons (like always...) But I truly hope they at least give the VN style a second go perhaps this time properly branching out the story paths and evolutions. Some nice things that they could do is make the Ultimate level unlockable at story segments depending on the character relationships level but afterwards locking it by various criteria in battles like low HP, using special move X times, partner encouraging X times etc... Each character could then have an optional sidequest (searching for their crest or special item) disabling the locks for the Ultimate level and gaining the possibility for the Mega level later in the story. There could also be 3 pathways - Vaccine, Virus & Data which could reflect on each partner Digimon's forms (granting several evolutions branches for the other Digimons too) and depending on the higher amount of Digimon types acquired in the story, the story would move into a specific route. There could also be several types of routes akin to other VN:- Route A (Data) could be the secret route where a side villain actually becomes the main one. Route B (Virus) could be the one where they face the main villain. Route C (Vaccine) could be the true route where the secrets of the story are revealed and a completely new villain appears. Route D (Free) being the 'normal' route. Each having their own good, bad and neutral endings. There's just so much potential! I truly hope we one day get a sequel to it and also - we NEED a new Digimon World game!

So I started this series with MMBN 2 and my parents got me it right before a roadtrip, I also had a notebook as well so that helped a lot with maps and puzzles, but I had so much fun!
