I am too much of a completionist for this game, I played it for a while but it hurts my heart to not be able to get 1 of each one, and trying to get them gets grindy fast.

Really love the video. Commenting for the algorithm. Hope being a dad is going well!

What? I'm pretty sure the dx version of 2 is based off the mobile version of the game. So monster lifespans are much much shorter making playing the game normally completely different

Do you have to hit the opponents monster or 50 times or can it be done without 50 times hiting your opponents monster ? . Much help appriceted

Man im glad i bothered to search monster rancher and then i came here. Amazing stuff dude, ill definitely give this game a try and ill be watching from here on out!

Very lovely finding videos talking about monster rancher. If you make a video on 3 I'm really curious what you would say about it, since it seems like it's the odd one out, but for me it was the only MR I had of the main series, since I skipped the PSX. I loved the idea of seeing the different ecological adaptations of monsters in that game as an alternate to them being hybrids.

10:26 these updates are not vital to the gameplay. That woman will tell you your monster is very well while they’re so messed up they’re losing months off their life every week. Colt’s updates are debatable as useful as just guessing.

3:19 Don't threaten me with a good time.

The one game that I really really wanted to play as a kid but dont care to emulate. If I can't obtain monsters with AOL online free offer CDs etc I'm not interested

Will you cover the nexomon series? Extinction is amazing

20:09 Godzilla (or Gojira) indeed is a mixture of the japanese words for Gorilla and Whale.

magic beats stone because of magic lifting

if you might not know; magic is psychic.

Great review I haven’t listened to a full hour long video for a long time.

Are you planning on playing any smaller monster taming indie games?

Monsters do grow with age. Baby monsters are really tiny compared to fully grown adult monsters.

I really like how you could guess what I was thinking while watching the video, notably when you left out Zuum from the new monster list and when you incorrectly calculated the income from MR1 training. 1:52:53 Just so you know, 1% combinations actually yield the highest stats in both the original and DX. The 1% bug refers to how the last 1% combination in the list os unobtainable. Try plugging in Zuum/Dragon + Bajarl/Joker to get a Bajarl/Bajarl, then Optimize Parents for Target and you will get a baby with all stats in the 700-800 range at birth

Awesome analysis^^ Also, most likely the lore is the same as the anime. Humans created monsters with the help of otherworldy beings. We used them as pets and then as soldiers. At some point a final battle between the two armies began. Each used their best monster, phoenix vs muu. In the battle all monsters were sealed, including them. Years gone by and they forgot the past. Therefore, they explain it as religion.thats what i think is the lore from playing the games.

I just took a look at this game and thought: "this is fucking awesome"

The LoD-music in the background throws me for a loop when just listening to you. Great overview, this made some things so much clearer for me.

Thanks I really want to buy it now

To clarify, you can actually find gold peaches every year. The whole "it grows once every 10 years" dialogue is just (misleading) flavor text. Hell, ive actually gotten two on a single expedition once, and ive seen a clip of someone finding three!

HELL YEAH

There's a whole lot covered in this though, and quite thoroughly. It's an excellent followup to the MR1 analysis! 🙂 A Heads up regarding Gold and Silver peaches around 55:08 - In MR2+DX any monster can find as many gold peaches as they're able to in their lifespan; They can only consume one of each peach type. (This is the inverse of MR1) - In MR1+DX any monster can find only 1 Gold Peach and 1 Plant Egg, however, they can be fed an unlimited number of them. - There is no 10 year wait period for Gold Peaches in MR2 (or MR1 for that matter). It is possible to get between 0 and 4 Gold Peaches per each ParePare expedition

great video dude

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!!!! awesome video man love to hear from you. ive never played a monster rancher game so these thorough looks into this other world are so awesome

Let's go!

What game is next on your list?

amazing video :3 very eloquent and well worded i love hearing you talk about things youre passionate about. definitley sold me on monster rancher once again!! hope the video does well 💌

One of my favorite series of all time! I loved digging out every CD to check for every monster. Two was probably the one I got into the most as a kid, but I probably played the GBA ones the most. I hope you get to those one day!

It is here ! Thank you , hope you are better and things easier .

Awwwww yeah, been waiting for this for a while. You even had the original reaction to ColorPandora that I did as a kid :p

Thank god I can finally get good at this game

Its peak.

hell yeah

Woo! It's here! 🎉

this channel is so underrated. great work

Lister, God of Fortune, startimg a conversation with "Oi, oi"? Looks like Dave is still on that luck virus. (Red Dwarf reference if that is what the developers were going for)

I'm trying to get into this game, it's beautiful, and deep. I keep hitting a ... funk. I think I just need to power through and get more creatures to combine. I think that's the pull for me. The goda catch em all aspects and team building. Great video, about to go on another realm dive.

I am in awe of all the work you put into this! May your channel grow to high numbers, good Sir!

Plant + Naga monster got me to beating all tournaments and extras and a almost 7 years of life!

That game is way to similar to princess maker

Came for the Monster Rancher video. Appreciated the detailed introduction video. Now I'll check out the Disc Creatures video. I've never even heard of Disc Creatures before, but going off of what I've seen so far I'm sure I'll like it.

Found your channel looking into Siralim Ultimate; I ended up watching everything. Love the channel, good luck!

I only collect physical releases so I haven't yet played Ultimate, but having played the rest of the series, Siralim 3 is a game I'd recommend over most games. Despite something I'd rate a 7/10, the game is more than the repetitive dungeons and possible broken mechanics. Early on in every single Siralim game you'll only have as many creatures that have appeared as you've progressed. The further the depth you go the more creatures you gain access to and the more team compositions you can create. Now on Siralim 1, 2, and 3, you only have a maximum of two traits excluding nether creatures which can have four and you can only have a single nether creature in a party. As you progress, for a long time you are ALWAYS, finding something new. Whether you're unlocking the blacksmith, the merchants, the alchemist, blood rituals, charms, magic spell upgrades, runes, and you are constantly seeing new creature after new creature. Every time you see a new creature with a new trait, it's like winning at a casino game, you get that rush every time you unlock and win something new. Every creature you get you look at their trait and you're mind is always wandering to, oh sh--- I can use this with this to do this, I can do this to do this, or I can do this to do this. Siralim 3 is the only game in the series that has tavern battles. What tavern battles is that you can take your team of creatures into battle against a group of NPCs composed of other real players teams. Now, yes, you're not playing pvp in person, however it's almost like you are as the Siralim games all have the ability to set macros and this isn't just some simplistic set of commands, these macros has the same and more depth than you'd find in Final Fantasy 12. It's not perfect, because there are actions that are impossible to command that you'd want to do and then as a human you can make decisions differently based on the moment, however, it's pretty close to anything you'd want to be capable of. Now, you don't want to play these tavern battles until you've unlocked all or most of the creatures, as there are some incredible builds. Now, some of these builds I could make a counter build to beat them, but I feel like people who do this are just cheap and it's just not fair to do so. So what you should do, is just build the best build you can that you don't think can be countered. So not only does Siralim 3 have the end game content of fighting all of the gods, harder versions of the gods, and even Nemesis versions of all the bosses you've previously fought for around 100-200 unique traits. My build can defeat creatures more double my level(thousands of levels in difference and I haven't hit a wall yet) and there are still some battles in the tavern battle that defeat me. At some point I'll try and refine my build a bit more, but breeding and maxing out attack for lower intelligence or intelligence for higher attack certainly was definitely the worst choice I could have made as the trait that uses the lowest of attack/int to determine both stats. I can use new monsters without bred stats, but haven't played in months so I've probably just been gaining losses with anyone with that trait, but not a big deal to me, I'm not worried about a win loss ratio(although before I stopped playing last it was around 70%.) It's the always unlocking and being able to make a lot of builds but at some point you'll get a bit bored of the repetition. This happened to me but I went back to again and total hit 300+ hours.

Nice work king 🤴
