an RPG for cultured degenerates

[@TheLaughingSimon]

Game that would be most improved by a source engine ragdoll physics kick button?

[@kilowhiskyforge4337]

Hold the button and aim those fireballs after casting my brotha, it’ll be magically hilarious and equally as magically frustrating lol

[@rptyr]

Dishonored would be greatly improved by that to be honest. Either that or the obvious, skyrim.

[@mexicanhalloween]

obviously Starfield, it needs so much help

[@CL-lx2pm]

Mount and Blade Bannerlord for sure. I wanna kick that King Derthert right in the cans

We knew all along Simon was a succubus. The sex appeal is real The accent doesnt fool us

You say that like the accent doesn't add to it.

I did have my initial doubts but two minutes in and I'm chuckling away 😊 Hope we can hear from Wee Kevin (and Big Betty) again though 🤞

Comment so the algorithm promotes the funny scottish man's videos.

[@johnprashanth]

Thank you Simon for saving half the day! 😅

[@TheLaughingSimon]

You're very welcome!

[@kilowhiskyforge4337]

Also for the Sareth best voice line in the entire game, attack Leanna while she’s “preoccupied” after the spider battle. You’ll get about 3 different voice lines happening all at once but Sareth finally shows his true form

[@hansvanderlinden6418]

No-one ever expects there to be a Simon in the busses... your not not wrong *-)

"Shiled is for people who remember to block" ❤ so true ❤️ I'm glad to see you're trying some other games and it comes out fantastic 😊 always a pleasure to watch your videos

[@TheLaughingSimon]

Thanks Diana! It's not easy to pivot on youtube, so it's good to hear that those that are up for some variety are enjoying it!

[@dianasoowianiuk2251]

​@@TheLaughingSimonnot to mention that for you, as a creator, its a nice and refreshing change. It can become a bit dull experience doing the same thing over and over so I'm glad you're trying new things 😊

[@TheLaughingSimon]

​@@dianasoowianiuk2251 It's been a breath of fresh air tbh. Having great fun!

[@LabMatt]

I'm disappointed this game isn't a sequel to Messiah, the year 2000 game where the Roblox "oof" sound effect originally came from

[@dima_keller]

I'm a pretty critical person when it comes to games and played this one really late, like 4 years ago and I definitely did not expect to enjoy it this much. It does have a ton of old jank and cheese, but gameplay still somehow manages to pull you in and I find it really interesting that I barely find stuff like characters and story familiar after all this year, but I remember areas s vividly, because of how interesting some combat situations the game throws at you Also I really wish more games had animations as fun as this one like crazy dagger flurries or flaming fingertips

[@TheLaughingSimon]

Jank aside this game has better melee combat than most first person games tbh.

[@dima_keller]

@@TheLaughingSimon it sure does. Having some elements of it in next TES game would be a dream

[@LybertyZ]

@@TheLaughingSimon I was just thinking, while watching you play, "Skyrim could have learned a few things from this first person combat." My first time seeing this game. Looks really good! Appreciate the perspective, @dima_keller .

[@aProperFox]

Such an underappreciated game

[@muskett2350]

Dark messiah is such a gem. The fact that it is happening in the might and magic-verse too is crazy.

[@HappyBeezerStudios]

There is melee combat, there is magic. And there is the kick. The kick of all kicks, which allows for so satisfying environmental kills. The best kick since Duke Nukem 3D

[@muskett2350]

@@HappyBeezerStudios All hail the kick

[@nomames6030]

Watching you play any game is so fun. Love your videos

I have to say brother, I am a huge fan of the wildly flailing all of your limbs combat strategy🤣

You can tell this was made by the same guys who made thief. X''D

[@TheLaughingSimon]

I've never played and of the Thief games. I should rectify that.

[@mistereclypto]

Man, I always love your use of FF8 music in your videos. Beautifully crafted scores, That resonate with my very soul, Tactfully used by a boar, Who's Scottish and slips off scaffolds.

[@desdemone1978]

Love Dark Messiah, definitely feels like Dishonored 0.5. Would love to see you play more of it.

Slightly janky rpg fps adventure stealth titles from the 2000's are so much fun. I started gaming again last year and apart from a few newer titles I end up playing old stuff. Great channel btw!

[@Crazedlilluna]

I loved this game, I wish I could play it again! Simon you always manage to make me laugh as well!

[@QuillASMR]

Happy you're finding time to upload more vids, Simon, mate! VR or not, your humour (and the accent of course) sells it instantly! Hope you're doing well, pal 😁 Always appreciate the FF9 music too! FF8 aswell? Omg. Never heard of this game but honestly looks like a blast lol

[@TheLaughingSimon]

It's not quite FF8/FF9 levels of fun, but it's good fun nonetheless ;)

[@xDarnelx]

NEW SIMON VIDEO (:

[@paulmorgan1009]

Yooo I remember when Funhaus went thru this! Which is extra sad now…

[@GerinoMorn]

Played it back in 2006. The spiders were the no-go for me, but come one mate, the intro? ;)))

[@TheLaughingSimon]

I'm not arachnophobic but the spiders are absolutely rancid in this game. And my limerick is class how dare you 😅

[@nightlistic8012]

I really want to try this game now. Simon you just make games look so fun to try when you do videos like this. I bought Bulders Gate 3 because of your video made me laugh so much. Would love to see you do a lil mini series on Dragon Dogma's 2 with Kevin and Big Betty. There is a song by Ram Jam called "Black Betty" that always pops into my head when I re-watch this and that scene where Betty is like "I don't trust that lassy!" lol absolutely brilliant. Game developers should pay you to advertise their games because you got a talent for making them look fun.

[@magicpyroninja]

Well joke's on him because if I get myself killed it's not my problem anymore😅

"No one ever expects to find a Simon in the bushes" As an Englishman I am always expecting to see a scotsman in the bushes. I just dream of the day I find Simon...

Also: this 2006 game has much better combat than Skyrim. In 2006 OBLIVION was released xDDD

I'll be honest 😅 I had no idea what was going on. Still, chaos is always entertaining 😂

It's a delicate balance between respecting the audiences time and keeping them informed of what's going on. It's a balance that my chaotic brain struggles with 😅

[@theeutecticpoint]

well played!

[@Anonymousrando-uz9sn]

You should play Kingdoms of Amalur. Also the first Dragons Dogma.

[@TheLaughingSimon]

I fully plan on checking out the original dragons dogma at some point, and Kingdom's of Amalar is going on the list! Now if I could only figure out the different between KoA Reckoning and KoA ReReckoning...

[@Anonymousrando-uz9sn]

@@TheLaughingSimon Re-Reckoning is basically just the "anniversary edition" of Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning. The original isn't available to buy on steam because the original developer went bankrupt (it's a wild story, too), and a different publisher re-released (could be slightly wrong about this part) the game as Re-Reckoning with the DLC content included and, apparently, improved graphics.

[@TheLaughingSimon]

​@@Anonymousrando-uz9sn Cheers for the clarification!
