Save 50% on Keeper Security Plans with code AUSTIN50 over at Keeper! www.keeper.io/austin Alright two questions! What's a bad game from a developer you really like? HARD MODE don't say Sonic the Hedgehog! NUMBER TWO, who should I try practicing with in Guilty Gear Strive that won't get me shunned by everyone I know? I probably have the most fun with Potemkin and Elphelt so far but my brain is hardwired for Tekken fighter games so idk the intricacies. Is there anyone like Naoto from Ultimax? (Also yeah, I know Shrek was technically a dev called Sandbox Studio that got converted into the DICE branch in Canada. But hey, Dice is dice!)

I really enjoyed playing Giovanna as a person new to Guilty Gear. She's easy to get, isn't super hated (I mean there's reasons to get salty at any character so who cares), takes skill to master the intricacies of her moves like the positioning mixups on her flips. Also doggie!

Um. What is the actual content of this comment? Because the "joke" relies on us assuming that Umbrella Corps is not aware that it's a shitty boring game, and if you're going to the trouble of pretending Umbrella Corps is sentient enough to have watched this video, then how does it already not know that everyone hated it? I dunno. I like my jokes to at least make a little sense, but you probably watch Rick and Morty so there's no way to talk sense into you.

Although I was a kid during the PS1 era and a teen during the PS2 era, and I love how that era was so experimental. Sure it was loaded with 3D mascot platformers, but there were also a heap of originality. Right now I am playing Operator's Side (Life Line) on emulator with a guide on standby, as it can be difficult figuring out what instructions to give Rio. A concept like that would be amazing to re-explore with modern technology. I mean games are so much bigger now, so imagine how many conversations, keywords, and responses they could incorporate in a game like that. Sometimes she also won't investigate something if you don't think of the exact keyword the game wants, so instead of being limited to saying "look at blue paper" it would be cool to be able to say complicated sentences like "turn the table and pick up the blue piece of paper second from the right beside the coffee cup".

Comment when Sonic Chronicles can be emulated? It already is, has been for years! No$GBA. I used it to get to chapter 9 before I forgot about it. The other one mentioned in the very image you showed might probably work from start to finish, though I'm unsure. I'd have to start from 0, most likely, in order to recall the objectives, so I'm not too thrilled. I understand that it's probably unreasonable to ask someone to use a whole another software just for a game. As someone, who had to switch to another just to finish the first Ace Attorney, can relate, yeah... Still, the title's been emulatable for ages. Just thought I'd mention this.

Resident Evil Gun Survivor is amazing. It's like if someone was to do a parody of the RE games, where absolutely everything was mega jank, and the story was the goofiest and the voice acting is somehow more inappropriate and off, even compared to the first game. It's a terrible game to play, but the story it tells is comedy gold. Infected guinea pigs that at first you are told the guinea pigs committed mass suicide (hilarious enough) and then you find out that the infected guinea pigs actually escaped and caused an outbreak !

I do feel like if a Sonic RPG could be done right, I think leaning towards the Mario RPGs as inspiration for not only turn based combat, but the whole theme of rythem in battle could be a cool fit for the Blue Blur, possibly on top of a tag team system inspired by Sonic Advance, that's basically my concept I feel that would work well for the guy.

In 2001 I was turning 14 and was in my first year of high school. My birthday is in November and my grades were straight A's. My dad asked me what I want for my birthday (it's in the second half of November). I said "There is one thing, but don't worry about it, it's too expensive." He further questioned what it was and I replied, "An Xbox. It's a new video game system." A day or two after the OG Xbox released, my OG (my dad) took me to a Toys R Us. That's when I found out they only sold it in a $500 bundle, the system, 3 games of your choice, an extra controller (and I believe) the dvd remote. I told him we didn't have to buy it, I could pick out some action figures or something else, or we could try to go to another store and I could JUST get the system and get games for Christmas. Pops said, "You can get this now, as is, but you gotta keep your grades at A's all year." I agreed (and did, go me) but the WORST part of the experience, other than talking to my scary-ass dad was the choice. He was short-tempered, I was indecisive ---- a terrible combo. I stood there staring HALO in the eye, a staredown for the ages. But my dad would most likely NEVER let me get an M Rated game. (I could've convinced my mom to get it, as it's mostly bright colored alien blood and I wasn't gonna suddenly become a space marine and shoot a bunch of aliens IRL.) I had to make my choices and make them quick, to seal the deal sooner. I grabbed Tony Hawk 2X (a game I loved), Amped Snowboarding (I thought it might be cool --- sucked at it) and finally....with one last, long, loving look at the masterpiece that is HALO:CE, I moved my hand towards my final pick, a game I grew to hate with all my heart, despite loving the movie....SHREK. I didn't get very far (perhaps a fight with big bad wolf?) gave up, let it rot in my collection for about 6 months and finally traded it in. I have never gone back to SHREK but should I get another OG XBOX, I have a pound of flesh to get back from it. I will have my day, SHREK will bow to me. Until then....great vid, keep up the great work!

The Star Wars: Episode III game on GBA is an actual good side scrolling beat 'em up, so play that instead of Jedi Power Battles if you want a good Star Wars themed brawler.

i love whiplash, i have a thing for obscure games, 3d platformers and 2000s culture in general. i’m actually replaying it now ATM, and yeah it can be pretty janky and annoying at times tbh. and it’s Very Early 2000s in more ways than one. that can either be a good thing or a bad thing depending on who you are, for me it’s a good thing. (i just got done rewatching fight club when i started playing whiplash again recently so i nearly pissed myself when i heard a fight club reference in the game. if it wasn’t a reference then its a pretty damn big coincidence, but i wouldn’t doubt it, it was the early 00s after all lmao)

I remember playing with my brother, super hyped at the idea of a beat 'em up with Jedi, only to find out it was actually a frustration simulator. Luckily, we owned a GameShark and unlocked Padme (who wields a blaster!) and Darth Maul (who only wields a 1-sided saber, boo!) who made the game so much more bearable. We had a blast playing, even if no amount of infinite health could save you from the abysmal platforming!

Love your vids man! I had a friend that loved survivor, but then he played a real resident evil, 3 in fact and got rushed by nemesis and never played a resident evil till 5 came out. Good times.

God I remember whiplash. Back in the blockbuster era it was that era of 'oh that box art looks cool' and then being disappointed. It was a really neat idea but couldn't deliver on all of it's really interesting ideas.

The Battle LA movie really threw me off as a resident of Santa Monica. The directions they give don’t make any sense like “we’re on Olympic and headed north! We’ll rendezvous at Pico!” (Pico is south of Olympic). Since most film studios are in the LA region, I thought that the writers would have been more accurate.

Oh no, I'd completely blocked my memories of playing Jedi Power Battles. My friend had it on his Dreamcast back then and we could barely make it through the first level. Thanks for reminding me? lol

Hey, a Midtown Maddness 2 reference. My parents got that game for my older brother and I would always play it on our old Gateway computer. I would just drive around the city. We would eventually get the PS2 GTA games which blew it out of the water.

Hey Austin, been watching for years and the quality of each video is amazing! From learning about games I've never heard of, to revisiting games I've completely forgotten about, I just wanted to say thanks for the content you put out :)

I remember playing co-op with a friend during the summer holidays until we managed to beat it! To this day I'm convinced that Plo Koon jumped a bit more than the others, that's why I picked him every time xD (FYI he also has a non-canonical lightsaber color in this game, although it's cooler than just blue). But yeah, the controls were very hard to get used to and was too punishing sometimes. Thanks for unlocking some memories of it!

Not gonna deny, Jedi Power Battles is a part of my childhood, but even back then I always found it frustrating to play with dodgy hit detection and awful platforming and the boss battles were dreadful to go through. Good idea on paper but not a well executed project.

I remember needing a gameshark to beat Jedi Power Battles (gave myself infinite credits) and it was impossible to clear it as Plo Koon because his combos were so slow, he couldn't hit Darth Maul, who always parries the first hit of every combo you make. Yes, even with cheats, the game is ridiculously hard.
