Thank you for still playing our game! I was one of the 3D modelers.

[@EveryDayCivilianBlog]

That is awesome! Up there as one of my all time favorite games. Wish it would be ported to the switch.

[@crevetta6128]

Battlestation games were my childhood!

[@offdeadeye88]

Several of us still play, daily until a few years ago now every other day, 5-9pm on Xbox many of us have been playing with each other for over a decade

[@bigj7867]

If I ever get rich I will buy this game and make a 3rd entry

[@v_DICE_v]

All these years later and I still miss playing this game.

[@NicholasEzclapz]

I'm waiting on that Battlestations Pacific review.

[@RoloBoloGaming]

What a gem of a game. Picked this up when I was around 13 years old and I loved every bit of it.

[@sjoak4084]

I remember playing this as a kid and then re-enacting the battles with my legos. Good times. And you're right, as an adult I much prefer this style of game/interface to War Thunder or World of Warships.

[@Mike-me3sp]

There are so many games from a decade and more ago that just captured the magic, and despite all the advances to date just can't be matched. Battlestations Pacific is probably my most played game ever, and recently my xbox360 quit on me and it's depressing.

[@J_for_Jirachy]

I wish everyday that someone would grab Battlestations IP and make more of it.

[@superdownwards]

Great stuff. Keep making videos like this one!

[@PlayStation_Paradise]

These are the best comments. I plan on it! I have at least two more "remember x?" Style videos I wanna do.

[@TheRealSpeedWolf]

it is a brilliant game, I made a review about it years ago and I still play it on occasion. the sequel not so much

[@MikeWazowskiTX]

The damage control and ship repair was awesome

[@USAMP926C]

I'm surprised you only have 2.16K followers as this video was VERY good.

[@zs5002]

This game was so good and had a mature player base. I still remember some guy named Yuting SS or something who you didn’t want to come up against.

[@masonhenderson3467]

I played this game when I was a kid when they still sold games on disk for PC I then got it on Xbox 360 and still play it to this day it’s a true masterpiece of ww2 gameplay. Wish battlestations pacific was still on steam

[@Alguiz]

This was literally the first game I ever got for Xbox 360. I actually got it for my dad as a bday present but ended up playing it WAYYY more than he ever did out of addiction lol 😅, this quite literally got me into online gaming literally, goated title.

[@meta5273]

One of the first games I ever played when I was a mere baby love it so much had to come back and look at it

[@PlayStation_Paradise]

Did you play the sequel?

[@omegasirius245]

Truly deserves a remake!

[@Relics]

I used to absolutely love this game

[@PlayStation_Paradise]

Used to? ;)

[@Bradenboy808]

This was a part of my childhood 🥲

[@vito7428]

A now defunct team made a mod for the sequel,Battlestations Pacific that adds missions from BSM on top of BSP's base game content and a bunch more new stuff on top of that. The mod got taken down due to concerns over copyright and ripped models but there are a few downloads sources here and there. Another team is working on making a 2.0 update to it that was on hold for a bit but last i heard,the devs are continuing progress on it again. Definitely try it out if you want a'more polished'way to get into both games at once as a whole without having to get the older BSM working on newer hardware

[@thangngaihte2958]

Best game I played during my college days ....

[@PlayStation_Paradise]

Comfort food.

[@USBCord]

I still remember it! I have it on steam. I want to make my own video on it in the near future.

[@SHVRWK]

One of the first video games I've ever played and it set the standard so high. It's insane that we don't have other like it.

[@RedHellFire55]

man, no one understands how good the multiplayer was, and that glitch where you could spam the renown battleship and kongo and have a battle with more units than the game would usually let you, man it was such stupid fun when i was a kid

[@Thebroshow13]

It’s a great game and it’s sequel is great two , it’s up there with birds of steel . I do wish that a third game was made that focused on the European theater of ww2 . Where we play as the British , Russians and nazi Germany .

[@Malocat]

I played battle stations pacific…loved it

[@faffywaffle561]

Chromehounds, battle station midway, Lego Star wars and call of duty 2 were my first games on Xbox 360

[@PlayStation_Paradise]

FUCKIN' CHOMEHOUNDS. Kinda bad but I loved it.

[@EliteFuller]

Battlestations Midway & Pacific is a masterpiece

[@markjohnstone2026]

Forgotten? I was playing this the other day. Great game and Battlestations Pacific too.👍Wish they had done a European scenario as well.

[@EliteFuller]

Would be cool if Battlestations set in European theatre

[@BeeWaifu]

"It's a lot like Warthunder, but not a nightmare game developped by satanists." You got me with that one.

[@PlayStation_Paradise]

(I've started playing War Thunder. Don't tell anyone)

[@dillonventola408]

I truly think this game inspired warthunder

Wings of prey was an il2 sturmovik game developed by gaijin it came out 2009. That franchise also goes older to about 2001

[@raymondyee2008]

Hell I still remember this game.

[@Rubafix989]

Never knew this game was by the same developer of Nexus : TJI which is my favorite game. Played both Battlestation games at release and replayed the first one a couple of times over the years. I remember not liking the second one for some reason.

[@PlayStation_Paradise]

How do you feel about the Homeworld series? Yeah the 2nd one seems not liked, but I've never played it so I'm curious to see for myself why.

[@Rubafix989]

@@PlayStation_Paradise I loved the first homeworld, barely touched the second one, and desert of kharak was ok. I didn't like the remaster however, beyond the graphical update they poorly implemented many mechanics like the formations and it shows that gearbox lacks the skills relic had. I ended up firing Midway and almost finished it in one sitting =D

[@elwin5054]

How are the controls? Does the game support gamepads/flightsticks or is it k&m only? Might give it a try

[@PlayStation_Paradise]

I used mouse and keyboard and had a great time. It should support Xbox and xinput gamepads. Not sure about flightsticks. I highly recommend this site for all older PC games: www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Battlestations:_Midway

[@kalebtheloser616]

I reckon me and you would get along well haha.

KillSwitch! One of the first 3rd person shooters with a cover system. Just added it to backlog.

[@EveryDayCivilianBlog]

I would love a game like this on the switch. Anyone know of any? Loved the multiplayer in Midway. Never played pacific.

[@burge117]

That Warthunder comment 😂😂😂 Aces

[@gavador9234]

I got this game on steam on a whim, I didn’t think much of it and I couldn’t get the hang of the tutorial. Might give it another try. What’s the best way to play it in your opinion?

[@PlayStation_Paradise]

Make sure it's your monitors resolution and widescreen, and patched to the latest version, www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Battlestations:_Midway Then do the tutorial, then try the campaign. That'll take 1-2 hours and if you don't like it then, then it's just not what you like. Was there anything in particular you had trouble with in the tutorial? Like the sub mechanics?

[@gavador9234]

@@PlayStation_Paradise I found the plane controls a little difficult. They were inverted I think it’s been a long time since I gave it a try.

[@PlayStation_Paradise]

Oh! Yes I know exactly what you mean. The plane controls on the PC version are bad. You can use a controller but it's iffy in my opinion. The best balance I found was keyboard and mouse, and just using the mouse for flying. It's not ideal, but it's more than playable imo.

[@dopesteeloe8934]

Tunuh, looks like a fun game to try. Are you still going to be beating all the ps2 games?

[@PlayStation_Paradise]

Yeah! Tbh I'm not sure how to cover them. For next video I'm going to try to make it more of a journey with me through the game. Less editing, less formal and "analytical", but a longer video. I'm also a little unsure how to title them :x being a youtuber is tough :( Feedback is always appreciated.

[@SLRModShop]

@@PlayStation_Paradise My feedback: be yourself, do your own thing. If you try to copy someone, there's already that someone. And if you copy them, we're missing out on TunaCats... Which is a shame. "beating all PS2 games" is probably a challenge that will be more detrimental than good. Honestly, a few years ago, my interests were totally different, I had an electronic company. Nowadays, I'm a software engineer... By the time you'll finish this challenge, you'll be a different person... Chances are, you'll give up midway through... So, might as well accept that asap and just go with the flow. Just do what you feel like doing, the way you see fit, and have fun. That's my feedback. (and I put this game on my wishlist, I'll probably play it next weekend. I've been having a blast playing some early-2000's games lately. So glad it's on Steam, that's what I was hoping for throughout the video)

[@dopesteeloe8934]

@@PlayStation_Paradise fair enough. I like videos of people's experience playing a game, especially for older or random games I've never heard about. If I'm not going to play the game (which is the case for most older games) it's good to see the experience so it's almost like I've played the game and its been condensed into a video, like a more articulate version of when I was 13 and my friend is telling me about a game he got for christmas and played over the holidays. But if I have played the game before, it's always good to get someone else's opinion and view to see how it matches with mine (on the flip side). But as long as you have fun playing the game or making the video, that's the most important thing. I just like the idea of someone making videos about playing every ps2 game, that's a cool concept. But if it's another game that's cool too, I like your videos regardless.

[@JcoleMc]

Before war thunder we had this

[@Daniel-vd8rg]

i honestly prefer Pacific myself, but Midway is fun too

[@JokeFranic]

its 0.87$ on steam sale

[@Floridaman5745]

Im not a big fan of the torpedo bombers. The Battleships defy physics by coming to a complete stop in a milli-second. Im mostly talking about “attack on force z”

[@PlayStation_Paradise]

I like it, but I prefer that the games more on the arcadey side, instead of simulation. I can see why it'd frustrate people though. How's the sequel? I haven't played it yet.

[@nonbigbrain9662]

@@PlayStation_ParadisePacific is amazing not as good as this one though but the missions are diverse and the Japanese campaign is fun as well as the American although the submarine missions suck. On Xbox both games have an online multiplayer that is still up I’ve played them both for quite a while now so I would recommend if you’ve got an xbox setting around to get pacific

[@nonbigbrain9662]

@@PlayStation_Paradiseooh also there’s a mod for midway called the “international mod” that allows you to have a Japanese campaign and new challenges that use the multiplayer maps and new challenges although it’s a little bugged however from what I’ve seen people are working on fixing the mod

[@ussenterprisecv6231]

Midway and pacific

[@PlayStation_Paradise]

Pacific's on the backlog! I've never played it so I'm excited.

[@BeeWaifu]

Something I noticed with WW2 games is that we always get the points of view of the Allies, but I want to know what the Axis forces were thinking. How did the German soldiers feel when the Waffen SS would barge in acting like they owned everything? What did the Japanese think as they waited on the island shores for American troops, or their navy forces for that matter?

[@PlayStation_Paradise]

The sequel had a Japanese campaign iirc
