Gaming keeps you young

[@kdsanchez2433]

Yea 💯 % that video game keep us young forever 🤟🏻

[@DaveHolladay]

They’re video gaming angels man I’m sure of it!

[@MilkyHazard]

Over 10 for me, 2009

[@Hossmcpizza]

Baldurs gate 3 has local co op. You and Kim can play together Johnny!!!

[@willymagi9253]

Yeah was about to comment same thing! These guys NEED to play this together

[@klocks2543]

Age of Empires 2 taught me so much real history in the appendices that my 6th grade social studies teach thought I was the smartest student in class. It also spurred my love for so many RTS games: Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds, Warcraft, StarCraft, Dawn of War, Age of Mythology. I was never even very good at them, but they were still my favorite games growing up!

[@Chronocrits]

I just finished Dragon Quest 11, which was my first Dragon Quest game. I adored it.

[@VidiverseExplorer]

Been a DQ fan since Dragon Warrior III on nes and I've played em all (cept x) and I can definitively recommend V and IX, the 2 best in the series.

[@excrono]

Check out Dragon Quest V, on PS2 or the more NA accessible Dragon Quest VIII.

[@robertelliott2216]

@@VidiverseExplorer watch consolevania on KZbin it's great!!

[@omegasephirot]

The thing I love about this channel is that they don't mind about running after the latest games, but they simply talk about the games they love, and this is quite rare and also extremely beautiful to see. So many youtubers are like "oh this is my favourite game..." and end up mentioning the usual stuff, this is why I'll prefer HCG content forever!

[@robertelliott2216]

Consolevania is also like that but Scottish.

[@DukeFavre]

LOVE to see them together doing the show. 😁 Keep it up!

[@Kisame3214]

so many good memories with Age of Empires 2! my dad used to bring me and my brother to an old appliance store called PC Richard & Son and they had display computers with the game installed on them and fell in love with the game and begged our parents to buy it. Great memories!

[@Feelin_DanDy]

I've been going through the Kirby series in memory of Iwata. I'm reading his book, the Impact of Iwata and trying to play tons of games he had a hand in. I also beat a childhood NES game I could never beat "Golgo 13", then I started watching the anime and was blown away.

[@TonyRivera0206]

Have you seen the professional with Natalie Portman? Basically same thing, some differences though. Anime version is a gem.

[@LungGore]

Finished Ys 8 at the start of the year and working my way through Soul Hackers 2. Next in line is P3 reload. Happy days

[@tommycwills]

Always great to have Kim on! I’ve returned to World Tour mode in SF6 but the big focus is Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth. Slow start, but I’m so excited to see where they go with Kiryu and Ichiban

[@hrizon2871]

Nice video :) I’m playing Kena Bridge of Spirits for the first time on PS4.

[@guyinapandasuit2691]

These weekly videos are truly something special. Thank you for all the hard work over the years. Baldur's Gate is so much fun. I'm pretty sure Kim especially will get totally obsessed with it. I think you guys would like the first 2 games as well.

[@gundambassexe31]

Currently Persona 3 Reload, finished Fate Extella Link, Muv Luv Alternative, and Still Fire Emblem Engage on switch. Honors mention to Disgaea 6 , Etrian Odyssey collection 1-3 , smash bros ultimate

[@femtrooper]

Love to see the early 00s PC love! I also used to play a lot of older PC games so I get the nostalgia!!! It was mostly SIMS and Counterstrike and stuff but there is something comforting thinking about those days!

[@Kmack2008]

Age of empires 2 is one of my most nostalgic games too. Your story about getting up early to play on the family PC is something I definitely did to with AOE2 and dagger fall.

[@TheGamingCircle]

5:04 John nearly had an heart attack🤣

[@alesharks5135]

Love the Kim videos, her games are like teenage me. Just finished Firewatch and DS1. currently playing XCOM2

[@TheRealPapaChico]

I like how it's games you are actually playing. A lot of video game youtubers. Will show like 10 or 20 games and in reality they just played 10 mins of each game to capture footage and then the game goes back on the shelf for all of eternity.

[@sheskimusic]

I realized I was smiling while watching this video. It’s HCG Sunday and ironically I’m wearing my HCG t-shirt!

[@mbern4530]

For Baldur's gate 3, I believe it has local co-op on the ps5, so that is an easy way to play it.

[@seid82]

Thanks for reminding me! I have to pick up “Star Ocean.” I started playing my PS Vita & PSP recently.🤙

[@randalthor6872]

Heck yea! I just dusted off my PSP so I can finally play Parasite Eve 3rd Birthday : ) Cheers bro!

[@majimakyoudai1284]

my ps vita is broken 😭😭😭

[@robertelliott2216]

Watch consolevania on KZbin.

[@randalthor6872]

@@majimakyoudai1284ahh darn. That sucks. Have you considered emulation?

[@seid82]

Thank god my PSP still works! I wanna buy a new one soon. I still have games in the plastic that I’ve never played!🤣

[@mattimusprime74]

Started Y's VIII based on your review of the series! Never played one before. Appreciate the content!

[@ezioauditore4061]

It's funny I used to play Age of Empires 2 back in the day and when you guys brought it up the first thing that came to my mind was "rob wegga" and what do you know, at 13:10 there it is! All the little voice sound effects stood with me. There's one that sounds like "oooh, baby!" too.

[@Xpancakes11X]

Finally got a new computer so I'm not running 13 year old specs anymore and have been playing a ton of newer stuff my old computer couldn't handle. Been a blast.

[@twincherries6698]

Hell yeah, cool spot What have you been playing?

[@shoked99]

I love your videos together. It's so interesting to hear both your opinions. Thank you.

[@bbthumb43]

Every kim episode makes me wanna play handheld games

[@geekyskye4279]

Great video as always! I love when you and Kim update us on what you’re playing. ❤ I’m currently playing Granblue Fantasy: ReLink and Voice of Cards: The Beasts of Burden.

[@Octor0k]

Always a pleasure seeing you guys!

[@drowningin]

I’m super hyped for Shiren the Wanderer 6 and Unicorn Overlord. This month has been me not playing any games because I don’t want to have anything taking my time or have me tied up when those release

[@RiverCityFlips]

Yes!!!! AOE II!!! Such a great game and part of my teen years. Many LAN Parties and sleepless nights with that one. Kim has great taste!

[@RwnEsper]

Been playing Stranger of Paradise recently. I find it to be pretty fun, although that loot system is a bit bloated. Always fun to see the two of you together!

[@greermcgreer8596]

Know what you mean about the loot! There is a system where you can set parameters for the loot you want, and anything under level will get dismantled. Look it up

[@AyuJogaComigo]

Wacthing these two gives me hope. You can cleary see that one is made for the other

[@TheWeazle5000]

I finally played through Tunic and it blew me away all the lore and everything

[@mogwai_for_sale]

speaking of fan translations, Linda³ Again (ps1 port) has received a fan translation. the work of the community over the past several years on this front has been phenomenal.

[@scottmichaelhedge5055]

So cool, the game looks fascinating.

[@CodyJenkins0420]

I've been playing Resident Evil Remake, RE2 Remake, and RE 3 Remake this year so far. I just started playing Final Fantasy 8 Remastered for Playstation 5. John and Kim I love when y'all do a video together they are so enjoyable to watch. This is third time viewing this video. You guys are amazing content creators! I love you two. Keep up the good work. It makes my Sundays always a day to look forward to. Your fan for life, Cody!

[@TuckerswordsINC]

I've been following Femtrooper's advice on making a list of games to beat and focusing on two at a time. I recently finished Perfect Dark and now I'm playing Fire Emblem Engage and Alan Wake 1.

[@tdotran]

I wrapped up Legacy Howarts on the Switch about two weeks ago and I had a blast! The game looks amazing when you’re inside, but gets a bit rough when you’re in the open world. Still, what a fun game! Now, I’m about 20 hours in on Star Ocean The Second Story R and boy, what a gorgeous game! I’m a sucker for grinding and this game hits that addiction. Love it.

[@LRrealest]

I'm playing Hogwarts Legacy(Switch) now. Probably halfway through the story.

[@bp4861]

If a world is good I think a world is good, lol. The witcher looked like a child's drawing most of the time but I still thought it was a marvel

[@robertelliott2216]

Watch consolevania on KZbin.

[@AnalogX64]

I've been playing on a PC, I'm 86% in and I dont want it to finish. Sometimes I Just walk around and enjoy the music and visuals.

[@tdotran]

@@AnalogX64 lol same. I made sure to take my sweet time before wrapping it up.

[@zerohx77]

I'm currently playing Granblue Fantasy Relink. I recently finished Bomb Rush Cyberfunk, Jet Set Radio, Shining Force II and Crystalis for the first time.

[@Feelin_DanDy]

yoooo Crystalis!

[@raven80wolfx2]

I hope you like bomb rush cyberfunk. I swear that indie game didn't get enough love and attention.

[@zerohx77]

@@raven80wolfx2 I already beat it. I loved it. It built up my confidence to finish Jet Set Radio.

[@raven80wolfx2]

@zerohx77 Yeah, it takes a lot more skill with jet set radio. Since the controls feels so outdated. I can't wait for the new jet set radio game.

[@zerohx77]

@raven80wolfx2 I had to have more patience with JSR and that really helped me beat it. I can't wait for the new JSR and the other Sega IPs.

[@matheusgoncalvessilva2447]

Kim is so funny, the 5:04 moment was gold hahahaha I love these episodes, so good hear you guys talk about games! I'm playing Smash bros Ultimate again and I'll start Phantasy Star II

[@JohnSanborn-y2n]

I just got Mario + Rabbids sparks of hope and i think it's one of the coolest video games out there. Playing as Mario but in other worlds made it feel like a non Mario game made it a really brain twisting RPG for sure. The environs and ambience really added the magic touch and it was really immersive to play. BTW that game was the last appearance of Charles Martinette as the voice of Mario.

[@ryannash3756]

GranBlue Fantasy Relink is blowing my mind. The story, set pieces and music are far more epic than I imagined they would be!

[@staceymarusa4920]

I'm so excited to play Tengai Makyo Ziria! I heard that the original patch crashed for a lot of people. I'm sorry to hear you were one of them! I really hope they translate the second game as well. We've been getting some really exciting English translations lately. I'm super pumped to see Linda 3 got one too for the PSX! So that one got added to the list for sure!

[@__tengu__]

Grandia was the first time ever that I heard voice acting in an RPG. Really caught me off guard. 🤣 Especially because my first name is Justin and I had a close friend at the time named Susie. 😅

[@drakewilliams6069]

I just recently replayed Dragon Quest 1+2 after 30 years. Right now I'm playing through Ender Lilies.

[@excrono]

I wish I still had the enthusiasm and time commitment for video games to complete them, thanks for letting me feel that vicariously.

[@mattmfjaynes]

Got bit by the nostalgia bug and started playing Legend of Mana and Grandia again. Even went back and watched your Grandia Anniversary episode, which was great and continued to remind me of all the reasons why I loved those games growing up!!

[@devinwalker1231]

Hey John that boulders gate release you got from play Asia it's only on one disc and the game is to large it fit on one disc larian released another version witch is all on 2 discs playable with no update

[@Leipec-ri1om]

I also recently started Dragon Quest Monsters and I'm absolutely enjoying it, catching new monsters and combining them to make new ones has me hooked.

[@CatDad735]

I’ve been playing Mario Wonder, Octopath Traveler 2 and Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart!

[@DieselJT]

I'm super jealous of that sticker book! I want one too! And I am really enjoying my Analogue Duo as well! So great to be able to play my whole library of PC Engine and TurboGrafx 16 games again!

[@ircha]

We want Dragon Quest Builders 3 now!

[@Talldude1980]

I've been playing Robocop: Rouge City, Vampire Survivors, and Virtua Cop 2.

[@TheInsomnatech]

Many hours into Finial Fantasy 16 and OMG it’s amazing!

[@Akama92]

You guys made me play dragon quest 8, finished it last week on my 3ds. Thanks a lot, really, I had a lot of fun

[@mbolt44]

OMG! Same about Age of Empires. This is where it all started :) Absolutely loved it. What a nostalgia. P.s. I'm always excited to see what you guys are up to. Love your energy and such a good vibes! Keep it up! Xoxo

[@paulkinder8440]

I've recently completed Caligula Effect Overdose and i've been playing a couple of older games, The Bridge which is a black snd white puzzle game, which i'm currently stuck on and a chilled out visual novel/point n click called Burly Men at Sea.

[@dannylenz3006]

Watching you guys is like getting a new game you two make me happy to be a gamer!! Can't wait to see what's next on happy gamer!! BG 3 is amazing! And Kim did you ever try Starquest? I was bad hooked on age of Empires myself love all of them!!

[@yup8865]

I recommend trying splitscreen on Baldur's Gate 3 with each other. My girlfriend and I had a great time playing through the game.

[@1invag]

I've been playing final fantasy 3 on the 3ds. Waiting for baldurs gate to arrive from larian website, not that enamoured as a baldurs gate traditionalist on pc but hopefully ittl be a decent divinity original sin version baldurs gate atleast

[@carlitoshadoken]

You are so positive sharing your love for classic gaming and gaming in general, it never gets old I love it!!

[@humblemudgames]

That Tengai Makyu game looks so awesome!

[@VidiverseExplorer]

Been playin Remnant II a lot, but before that I was playin MGSV and Skyrim.

[@standingbearwhisky]

Kim is the original OG

[@matthewarlich670]

Always enjoy watching your videos of your recommendations with you and your wife. I’m picking up a copy of Granblue Fantasy Relink this week. I’m currently playing Dragonquest XI, Mario Kart 8 deluxe with my wife, and Soul Blazer, an old retro SNES game. Watching your channel has inspired me to start picking and playing old retro titles. 😊

[@Earthling247]

I had a chuckle when you mentioned your friend. It sounded like you had played games with Jimmy Hoffa, at least to me. Love you guys content.

[@ebbderelict]

Just finished playing Clash: Artifacts of Chaos on the weekend, and I enjoyed it a lot. I've since started Sackboy's Big Adventure, and also recently bought Terminal Velocity on GOG.

[@SomeCenturio93]

I went back trying to finish TotK after taking a break, but at the same time I actually went back to Sekiro since I rage quitted back then at launch and I made some good progress than before. 😅

[@TheTateful]

Y'all have great taste! I'm currently playing Dragon Quest V. Just finished up Sea of Stars, and I think I'm moving on to either Grandia Xtreme, Star Ocean: Second Story R, or Pillars of Eternity 2 next.

[@scatterbraineddaily4722]

Nice selection. I've been going through Trails in the Sky SC.

[@hammerheadms]

I was almost through Zelda TOTK when I stopped because I just didn't want it to end. So I haven't played that in several months, but I know eventually I will have to pick it back up and finish it. Lately I have been having a ton of fun with Evercade, playing a variety of classic arcade and console games. That was my Christmas present for my whole family, and we've had fun with the multi player games.

[@Kiefy6886]

oh man, I too also only recently got into Age of Empires. My buddies all played it many, many years ago but I didn't have a decent computer so I missed out. Got the definitive versions of 2 and 3, and have 4 on my wish list. Just playing the campaign is a blast.

[@mattguy1980]

ive been playing the mafia trilogy on xbox series x for the last two weeks now. absolutely love it. has alot of bugs and graphical issues when it comes to lighting but what an amazing trilogy

[@Omniblade_Gaming]

You guys match lol... I love this channel I'm currently playing the Hd remake of FF7, preparing for Rebirth..

[@newgameaaaa]

I don't have much time for too much game time lately, but I did just play Dynasty warriors 5 Xtreme Legends. I'm starting it and so far enjoying it. The Dynasty Warrior series are some of my favorite series.

[@SirFragalot]

I've been playing both Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth and Tekken 8 in small doses. I also just bought Granblue Fantasy Relink to streak two nights a week. It's been a pretty fantastic year for gaming and it's only the beginning of February.

[@wesleyriley7963]

i have a feeling Kim will LOVE granblue relink. its a very chill rpg with losts of side quests to dive into but also very respectful of your time in terms of getting you from point a to point b with hassel. things like a side quest menu that teleport you to the quest giver and things like that.

[@cinemaslayerreviews4130]

Just recently finished the Mario RPG remake which was fantastic and now I've been going back and forth between Ys Origin and Tunic-both just so good!

[@SuperDwango]

The tactical focus in the dq monsters series is more so in how you build and setup your team setting the ai up for success in the auto battles.

[@cincyfan987]

Been playing From Russia with Love on ps2, robocop rogue city again, and half life alyx vr

[@MervJaap]

Also been replaying an old pc game, one of my all time favourites, XCOM: terror from the deep. On Switch now playing Dordogne, Chicory a Colourful Tale and Monster Sanctuary. On 3ds: Luigi's mansion 2. I usually play 3-6 games on and off.

[@Shinky]

I've been playing Tales of Symphonia and Yakuza 3. Pretty wonderful times

[@lukevega77]

I love watching you two on Sunday mornings ❤❤

[@fritzzorn9086]

Baldur's Gate I&II are also on physical for PS4!

[@Ronsilk-pu5hr]

Another fantastic show

[@divinations00]

I finally went through Ys Origin and started playing Final Fantasy 8 for the first time and have been having a great time with both!

[@The_Badcompany]

So I've also been playing Tengai Makyou: Ziria (Far East of Eden) as well. I'm also currently playing J.B. Harold Blue Chicago Blues & Ginga Ojousama Densetsu Yuna. I'm absolutely loving all my retro games on PolyMega.

[@Gaming_since_the_eighties]

Speaking of old games, i´ve finished the Ace Attorney Trilogy and i have to say, i never thought that a grafical noval, click and point adventure can be this much fun and i´m playing Bionic Commando from 1987.

[@gothard5]

it’s about time someone finally mentioned the masterpiece that is DQ Monsters Dark Prince. I thoroughly enjoyed this one and it inspired me to replay DQ8 as well as playing through DQ11 definitive edition for the first time and finally getting to see some of the new content that wasn’t included in the original version of DQ11. I’ve been on a bit of a DQ kick here lately.

[@gothard5]

I spent a lot of hours working on completing the monsterpedia. I never finished it though. I am at roughly 85% completion. I finished the main story, post game story, and both arenas. I highly recommend the mole hole dlc, but only if you plan on completing the monsterpedia.

[@LRrealest]

DQ11S was my intro to the series and I LOVE that game. I even did a 2nd playthrough in the 2D mode. We need an update on DQ3R .

[@ClaytonMorris]

I bet Kim might like Tempest Rising that's coming out this year. It's in that strategy building genre that she loves.

[@solidwisdom8749]

Prince persia lost crown(frustrating puzzles, rage quit) , like a dragon infinite wealth, persona 3 remake, tomb raider 1-3 remastered so far. Good year so far

[@RPGreg2600]

I beat Ys VIII last weekend, now I'm back to playing TotK, which i hadn't played in 6 months or so. last night i finished the last shrine. I still have quite a few side quests to do. I've definitely been sucked back in! I had stopped playing at 215 hours.

[@Eagleknight815]

Been playing Trails of Cold Steel 4. It's on the priority list to beat this year. Wrapped up Super Mario RPG in January

[@lacriptavideoclub]

Been playing Ink’s Awakening on the switch. I started it last year and just stopped playing it, then a few nights ago decided to go back. I’m currently in the last dungeon to finish the game. I got Super Mario wonder for Christmas and played that one for a bit it I algo bought COD Modern warfare 3, and that’s taking a lot of my gaming time.

[@josephmorales3478]

Playing a bunch right now…like a dragon infinite wealth, taken 8, persona 3 reload, pick in 2.
