G-Darius (PS1) Playthrough - NintendoComplete

[@BROOKLYNZzKiD]

Holy crap this was one of my favorite games as a kid, me and my friends would all get together to play this at each others houses

[@GuyFromRedBank]

I played this game on Taito Legend Vol. 2 on the PS2 and recently on Steam. This game is awesome.

[@NintendoComplete]

The last traditional Darius game (before the compilation style DariusBurst, at least) absolutely nails the mark, representing the culmination of a full decade of refinement and polish for the series. It's a true genre classic.

[@KGRAMR]

What about Metal Black man? That game also has some of the best music composed by Zuntata :)

[@NintendoComplete]

@@KGRAMR It's a great game. I'll be uploading sometime in the future.

[@KainYusanagi]

Oh man, thanks for uploading this! Absolutely adore this game.

[@lilfluffpuff1387]

Quick question in the ninja gaiden gameplay how did you throw the ninja star??

[@NintendoComplete]

@@lilfluffpuff1387 Hold up and press the attack button

[@bcs9000]

The graphics looks stunning for a PS1 game

[@xChacha369x]

I used to play this with my brother growing up, so many hours in this game, miss you bro love you.

[@abqjackal_beard241]

I was just sending this to my brother because we used to play it as well. I miss him too. They were more precious times than I would have ever thought, I took them so for granted.

[@PhucNguyen-xv7xo]

i missed the old good time, its been over 20 years...I still remember exactly where i play this game for the first time with my cousin, my friends, such a good memories that cant be erased in my mind. Im happy that my childhood was completed back then

[@elijahr4848]

A Darius video in 2019? And its popular? I never thought this beautiful day would come...

[@helios1_]

Your definition of “Popular” is terrible. If it was “Popular” , children all over the Internet would be defending it to an extreme and calling people who don’t like it gay. Meanwhile, this has 8,000 views, and is nowhere near that stage.

[@FarGamingOfficial]

Thank you for refreshing my childhood dude

[@nerometalmkii2876]

8:30 "As your allies surround you, you feel a moment of peace, suddenly the fish don't seem so tough anymore... Yes! You can do thi... *BOOM FISH OWNAGE DESTRUCTION EX F YOU UP!"* That scene is the most awesome thing I have ever seen in my life! Lol I got tears in my eyes man, so freaking awesome XD

[@LamestLameOK]

I like how it sort of references the intro to Darius Gaiden where this exact same scene happened.

[@TheMixedPlateFrequency]

Dude those counter revenge super last shots was so Hype!

[@AlidarJarok1]

Just got this game over the summer. Was just the cd for like 26 bucks but man was that $26 well spent. One of my favorite ps1 games.

[@ikr1641]

G.T. illuminated by the flash of lightning gives me goosebumps

[@legionbeast]

I love this game. The endings are all weird with only one being canonical as it sets the stage for the next game, but it's all really an amazing experience. That Klaxon for the bosses showing up and the sheer size of them is such a pulse pounding moment.

[@NintendoComplete]

Those boss entrances are my favorite part of the whole game. They're so intense!

[@allohtoffbaqphat4547]

I stuck around because I was promised the creation of new life, but all I saw was a whale getting blown up. What the fuck G-Darius?!

[@dingo535]

Glad to see this as a popular upload My only complaint is the sound It's very effects happy and you can't hear the incredible soundtrack at all at times

[@ExtremeWreck]

Man, THQ knew that this was a good title to distribute!

[@FallenActual]

This brings back so many forgotten childhood memories and im only 27

[@jrp7808]

And now you're 30 and I'm 32 and these nostalgia hits are still effective

[@FallenActual]

@@jrp7808 yeah ill be 30 this September man time flys

[@Monitor1CC]

G-Darius HD (Switch and PS4) now includes the PS1 version of the game along with two alternate versions of the original arcade game thanks to a free update that was released in June. The PS1 game is still just as fun as ever and it’s impressive how well the 3D visuals have aged despite being a PS1 era title, just goes to show that tight gameplay and good art direction are timeless. G-Darius also has easily one of the best soundtracks in the series.

[@KaiKrimson56]

I saw this in AVGN's Taito Legends and I immediately recognized that game. I used to play that with my brother when we were kids!

[@Bloodreign1]

My only issue with this port, the slowdown, other than that, solid game. The versions on Taito Memories, and Taito Legends 2 are fantastic though. Do own all 3 I listed, the PS1 port I got years before the Taito compilations.

[@clintmangal2038]

Sick game. Got the PS1 demo. Like it the first time I played it!

[@winepool]

El juego se sigue viendo increíble, que ganas de jugarlo otra vez.

[@KIDxMIZER]

the music in this game was so fucking good with such a wide range

[@rommelcarloscortes9933]

Oh man.. I remember playing this during my childhood years

[@cleversongomes1720]

Top surreal love this game

[@aleeokazaki7450]

Este juego es increíble, lo jugaba cuando niño y no me acordaba de su nombre, es muy bueno, fue el segundo juego de naves que marcó mi infancia después del Star Fox de Snes

[@rafarga1980]

I miss these kinds of shooters.

[@DrewDracoSune]

Hands down, G-Darius is still *THE* best Darius game ever made. It's a real shame that Taito decided to end the whole series with DariusBurst though, they had a great idea going, especially amongst the popular SMUPS like Gradius, R-Type, ThunderForce, etc. I really gotta hand it to the artists who conceptualized the giant robotic fish bosses as well. The Silver Hawk ships look really sleek and stylish even when I first saw it on Darius Twin. Btw NintendoComplete, which one of the G-Darius bosses did you like the most?

[@CPS42069]

The Embryon is one of god-tier bosses in shmups ever. The fight, the atmosphere and the music makes it more epic.

[@TheMixedPlateFrequency]

I agree, I think this was the best one.

[@JeffAndonuts185]

my childhood...thanks

[@clintmangal2038]

One sick game. Got the demo. Play it over and over again

[@dominquedoty458]

You did not get the GOLD hawk rank, due to dying. Still. That is very impressive! Tho that ending is rather strange. Gets the impression of Aliens, testing all the humans. And now they deal with the battles.+

[@barbieandthemagicofpegasus7000]

Darius Series

[@DJDTHTRP]

Not bad playing at all. As for your question, I have the rank system figured out and put into the most straightforward language possible. Each of the factors is worth somewhere between 10-20% out of a total of 105%. To achieve a Gold Hawk rating, you must have a score of 101% or higher. 1) Enemy kill ratio - Shoot everything that moves. 2) Enemy formation kill ratio - Don't allow any enemy attacking in a formation to escape; destroy whole formations. 3) Boss fight hit accuracy ratio - During boss battles, cease fire when there is nothing to hit/damage in the attack plane. This factor is worth 1% of your rating per every 10% of your accuracy.

[@Mankindiscarrionfitfornothing]

G-Darius y Einhänder ahhh!! Que tiempos aquellos 😌 rompí varios controles, me hicieron pasar muchos corajes jajaja pero joder!! Malditos juegos increíbles y logré terminarlos

[@Vasycss]

thanks to this game for making me a lover of bullet hell games

[@nerometalmkii2876]

Ah... This game, we used to play the demo so much, that when we got the full version we got exhausted of it and never played past the first level (also it was in between like 60 pirated games I got as a gift back then) it was my favorite Darius game, and probably one my favorite Shoot Em Ups overall

[@liveforextrading7917]

I was looking for this game for more than 6 years .. I never knew the name. , well played by the way.

[@IvoKevin]

really nice technos

[@unknown_helperjohn]

I really miss this game....wish it was on xbox.... my childhood

[@radiantansel202]

I actually think the only bad part of the description is saying "THQ" instead of Taito Other than that, great game, my favorite in the genre even, this thing is seriously a blast to play. Is so good, the entire company that was formed after this "G.Rev" used the "G" as a reference of them being the fellas behind G.Darius, that's how big this game is.

[@Synathidy]

To be fair, the case of this game boldly displays "THQ" on its front, but only mentions Taito in small, fine print on the back. So if someone was just going by what was on their physical case, they'd likely see "THQ" first.

[@VSSEDragon3]

Darius is all about, not only space fish, other animals in this, like birds, bats, other mecha creatures

[@didengmontero9616]

WOW tis like CYCLOPS gone wild due to CATARACT

[@LeonLion95]

God I used to love this game. Wish they did an HD remake or a sequel that’s really good

[@Bloodreign1]

This did receive an HD remake, or at least an HD sprucing up, might be on the PS4.

[@daneyal7162]

The Darius franchis should get a more modern iteration when it comes to graphics.

[@kornky2654]

taimen asu thank you so much

[@Renegaiden_]

This looks better than Thunder Force V eventhough TFV came out 1 yr before this on Saturn, then released on pS the nxt year. Both are still great games, but I only rly started looking into the Darius games this year. I never realized how much I was missing out on till now

中くらい役で観方が可なの不の知であった。要の一点は敵をほとんど無になる寸前に光を放つこと、このことこそ肝要である。これは機を見なければ至難だが妖異とは言えず。だが動画を上げたこの経営氏はそれを能としたのは、はらわたが震える。これに示唆を与えられなかったのは、顧みた時に心を残す。

so the pilots hate fish?

These aren't fish as know them though, but space craft from an alien race hell bent on destruction.
