UPEO, a peacekeeping organization that is so laughably ineffective often ridiculed as paper tiger The most realistic part of this game

This whole game feels like evangelion

Great video! I really enjoyed your thoughts on the series. It was also nice to hear a lot more about the bonus VN arcs that I passed over. Keep up the great work.

41:40 smells like incel in here

The way I just started watching Gunbuster for the first time. Took a break from watching it and the first youtube viseo I watch references it

The new soundtrack is reason number one why i didnt get this versions🤦🏾‍♀️

This video reminds me of taco night at James Earl Jones’ house.

Just started and already took me to memory lane of watching the episodes in parts! I forgot about that! lololol

I first got into studying Japanese many years ago, and I never would have started if Namasensei hadn't called me a b*tch. The bit about Nick Robinson being Porter's brother... And the Nama crossover... How did I never know this?

This only looks like a Persona 5 skin of the third game, doesn't add anything you could call worthwhile to P3 FES besides being able to control your companions... Oh wait! You could do that already in P3 Portable...

what was the intro of the song?

What's the intro of the song?

0:17 muv luv reference real af

3:41 Aren't these Makoto and Yukari's beta arts?

Plsplspls do umineko when they cry plssssss

Boy sit down

this was a great video I learned so much .. thank u

sad pos made this review

Love how to critique the writing when you can't even get the meaning of the word retrospective lmao.

I love that you keep returning with these once in a while, it makes me appreciate these games even more, even though I haven't played them in ages. Can't wait for persona 4 analysis, but take your time, obviously.

I can't express how much I enjoyed this whole experience. I hope you do more of these!

Porter Robinson

finished the main arcs and had my issues with the ending. im glad you made this because i was wondering whats in the bonus stuff and console arcs. and theres no way im going to spend even more time reading this series

Both versions have major issues - the game design made more sense in the original, but the mechanics like tiredness that made it work were tedious. Plus, no control over party members - regardless of functionality of AI - was a drag. Reload conversely feels disastrously paced and lopsided due to the removal of tiredness.

Man i remembered enjoying this anime years ago. But ofc I stopped at Higurashi Kai. my time was mostly taken away from me by my job and family. Personally I'll love to binge this series at some point when I have the time. Thank you for uploading this video

2 hours, holy. Bro many need to replace his mic’s pop filter after this one.

great work

my one critique here is asking you to learn japanese name pronunciation. just get the character names, at least.

Poor Rosa:( she was a victim of her own country. She would eventually go on to date and then marry Trigger btw

Is it possible to apply the patch on mobile?

I wish they would bring back the Squad command from AC6. It was so fun playing with my squad

There are a lot of peak moments for this series. The ultimate and most effective on for me was the slice of life, chill schoolgirl start. Then, when we go to the city, mion is carrying a piece openly in a country where that's super hard to do. It's literally never acknowledged (she doesn't even use a gun until like the 7th arc) This is what the story is telling you. The horror and lethality that we accept as normal if no one talks about it. That regular people are filled with lots of darkness, and some of them WILL hurt you with it. That we can't truly know if someone can end a life just from their personality. Absolutely terrifying.

Interesting. I have opposite views. I grew up with gex 1 and never played sequels and aren't interested because they are 3d. I love the first game and i think its amazing but ridiculously easy. There's flaws for sure but the game is extremely charming. Theres a lot of cool secrets to find and i think level design is very fun. Exploration isn't rewarded unfortunately but rushing definetly is. You can beat entire game in under an hour. Maybe because i played the game years ago as a kid, but i don't really get how can anyone consider it to be hard. The hitbox on the tail is wild, the powerups are all over the place, almost all enemies die in a single hit, extra lives is the main and only reward for exploring (and finding bonus or flies which all give you lives) bosses are a joke compared to modern games anyways. Random story noone asked for: i first played gex when i was somewhere between 6 and 8 on 3do and had a controller issue. There was a button that was used only to pause the game and to summon the remote inventory to unlock levels. It did not work on my controller, and because it had no gameplay value and i am not english speaker i had absolutely no clue how to progress past level 1. The ideas that i was trying to do with my mom to progress included: beating level 1 over 50 times trying to find a working remote, grabbing remote with tongue, restarting game every time, not grabbing the remote then comming back to grab it, finding every possible secret in case i can just walk into level 2 somehow, chasing the remove menu in world menu when it appears for 1 second after you beat the level, chasing the crows in case they stole the remote somehow from the menu (???), trying to get grabbed by the hand in the world menu in case that will somehow let me progress, clicking on the turned off level hoping they'll unlock, waiting in world menu for hours, waiting in a level for minutes inthinking that idle animations gex does when you are afk will summon a useful item, "reading" the manual to find a remote (actually just looking at pictures imagening myself playing those levels), waiting in the main menu untill demo starts playing, "playing" the demo not realizing i don't control gex and its just a video, watching devs play those same 3 demo levels on repeat and dying on purpose like idiots while i scream at them because i wanna see the rest of the level, and eventually getting into contact with my relatives who owned this console before giving it to us and asking them for help. Turns out all we needed to do was clean the controller. This story is pointless but if you combine it with the fact that the gex disk was scratched and wouldn't even turn on 80% of the time, and the fact that i was a little dumb impressionable kid, you can probably imagen the kind of emotions this game inflicted in me back then when i actually got to play level 2. Oh boy, i was in love with every little texture that wasn't used on level 1 lkke those background fences. Downloaded it on pc a few weeks ago to feel complete about my other childhood fantasies related to the game, such as using power ups to see normally immortal enemies like sumo and octopus die. Yup, i wanted to see every single enemy electrocuted, frozen and burned and couldn't without cheats. It's not as fun when you're an adult and realize that those aren't actually animations just a visual effect.

This is a little off-topic, but someone needs to introduce Higurashi to David Lynch. I think he would love it so much that he might explode lol. On that same note, if you love Higurashi but you haven’t watched Twin Peaks yet, you absolutely should. I think you’ll have a blast trying to piece together that mystery too.

literally say gex

My brother and I as kids just kinda assume Rez's deal was that he was trying to use TV to brainwash the world and thereby take it over. But it's nice to know that apparently we kinda just made that up

From what I understand, a retrospective should contain: • an opening/hook • a recap • what went well • what could have been done better • overall summary/review Nonetheless, i enjoyed the recap as it's been a while since I last thought about Higurashi.

Great video will you be covering umineko or maybe even ciconia?

Which is why I rather learn japanese to play the original, than waste my time waiting for a fantranslation or playing a 4kids level translation.

Higurashi is incredible in many things, it's probably one of my favourite horror "novels" of all time, that's for sure. But what truly "hits me" about it is the premise and how the topic of messy family life is explored through the horror beyond the specific characters experiences. It's extremely well done and developed. Which isn't a surprise considering the overall quality of the work but I still think it's worth being highlighted, even if only because it's one the main ties it has to Umineko. The story of Maria alone at home or Ange at school are horrible beyond the murders and gore.

Where can i read this (free plz)

This is a beautiful Video. I forgive you for liking Shion. Its been a 2 decades since i last thought about one of my many first Visual Novels. Thanks for appreciating such a great story. I wish i could write something as fun and engaging as Ryukushi sensei. I wish I could go back in time and experience those VNs again for the first time again, they really were something else

What an insipid take.

A sound novel is NOT a visual novel, they predate them and their focus is on music over any kind of written story telling. They lead to the creation of VNs but they are absolutely not interchangeable words.

What boring piece of crap, now I don't regret dropping console arcs. Holy shit what level of slop. Might as well have the pachislot gameplay on the whole time. Two decades of milking the franchise and still only the original content is any relevant

Watched these 3 or 4 times now

Funny enough Tatarigoroshi was the first one that I understood what was going on, everyone is playing it cool. Only Satoko's freakout at the end threw me off a bit but then I just decided maybe hs went crazy. Then again Watanagashi too was easy but then I wasn't sure if the demon was metaphorical.

FYI there's an amazing android port of this game that's runs as smooth as a baby's ass. Anyone interested just Google it

Akechi is just the son of John Tanner from the Driver series in a way to be honest. Do the research play the Driver games to understand at least somewhat of what I mean by this statement.

Random don't care but, play the Driver games please they were made by a British developer known as Reflections hell they even collaborated with Rockstar North back when they were known as DMA Design for Lemmings.
