This is a review of the PC version.

[@BrosBGaming]

We need more rpgs reviews. I noticed after listening to your calming voice that other essays with people who talk like they're in an air plane hanger gets on my nerves now lol.

[@hollllllllz]

Yes.

[@Silvarian]

Not sure if you're familiar with his content, but this one gave me strong MandaloreGaming vibes, awesome job!

[@Majuular]

Love Mandalore's style, certainly one of my influences!

[@Mr.Mosquito89]

@@Majuular Got a bit of the Foul Energy... energy, too. Similar sense of humor and comedic timing.

[@jonturcotte2856]

Another banger 🔥 I always knew your particular sense of humor and line delivery would be perfect for this type of content.

[@Majuular]

Thank you bro!!

[@BrosBGaming]

I really like the subdued humor of your videos. Like you don't pick up on it if you don't pay attention. Thus rewarching can yield more. I'd like to do long-form vid on obscure games too. But your timing and clip utilization is great. *we've managed to avoid drowning*

[@Majuular]

I appreciate that! My writing ethos is to make it engaging, while for editing I try to make it densely packed enough to be rewatchable, so I'm really pleased to hear that's the case.

[@novemberbravo6194]

I am not in the slightest bit surprised to find you’re a fan of Dark Messiah. Sadly, we individuals of taste, class, and truly superlative refinement are few and far between. Thanks for the tip about the rifle trivialising the game’s difficulty a smidge; after all, my channel’s current USP is that I’m bad at games and that is, ideally, funny to certain subset of viewers. As always, a great review, and we’ll deserving of many, many times the current view count it has. Keep ‘em coming and I’ll keep scarfing ‘em down! Edit: I sincerely hope you’re planning a review of VTMB at some point. Not that I need anyone to tell me it’s one of the best RPGs ever made (emphasis on the RP, not so much on the G), but you clearly share my appreciation for classic Source titles, and I’d love to hear your take on it!

[@Majuular]

Hey, good to see you November Bravo! In regards to Dark Messiah.. well, I'd expect nothing less from a gent of your stature. Let us sip chardonnay in our ivory tower, away from the plebeians. I must admit, I've no current plans for a VTM:B review at present. I played through the game recently on stream though, still love it to pieces despite the last act making me want to rip my hair out.

[@novemberbravo6194]

@@Majuular Oh man, ok, I'll have to check the VOD out in that case. Which route did you go for the endgame? ... Tell me it wasn't the Kuei Jin one. Please.

[@picahudsoniaunflocked5426]

I hope I got the acronym right or this won't make sense, but I wish someone would review that game by doing a review per faction, as a series, bc it seems like a different game with each faction, more so than most other rpgs i can think of.

[@novemberbravo6194]

@@picahudsoniaunflocked5426Yeah, I know what you mean; they did a fantastic job of setting the different clans up so that there's a ton of replay value, even though some of them share certain disciplines. Hell, playing as a Malkavian is like an entirely different game from all the other clans!

[@Jolfgard]

23:30 Tyranny is a masterclass in this kind of thing and the reason why it's my favorite CRPG (along with the magic system).

[@berndberndsen5680]

That Dark Messiah bit was worth subscribing on its own.

[@lucascoval828]

It's all in the kick.

[@TheHipHopBrothers]

I tried to play Weird West but dropped it when the game told me to go grind bounties that came off as randomly generated so I could have enough money to decipher a letter so I could continue the so far boring and generic scenario. I recommended it to my friend who I thought might like it more but he was only able to last about 30 minutes longer then I did. It looks like they just put their worst foot forward when it came to the order in which you play the characters, I'm sure I'd have been way more interested in continuing the game if I had played as any of the other characters especially the pigman.

[@Majuular]

Yeah I can see where you're coming from. I would almost recommend staying away from bounties/side quests unless you need the cash, it becomes really easy to burn out on the gameplay. Stronger emphasis on variety/side content would have really improved the experience.

[@2bussy]

16:08 "IT'S THE GUY! I'M WATCHING HIS TWITCH!" LMAO I love your sense of humor, Majuular. You WOULD be a damn dirty DSP detractor. 💀💀💀

[@skate2myhouse]

What a great review! So glad i found your channel, youre awesome

[@versebuchanan512]

This seems like the type of channel that at some point will spend upwards of forty minutes to explain how Deus Ex, one of my favorite video games, is actually a very good video game. Hell yeah boiii

[@michaelburns7789]

So far all your vids are excellent! Excited to see what you cover next. Elden Ring? Xenoblade??

[@Majuular]

Thank you friend! I've decided to take a short break from RPGs for my next vid (which should be out this week), but am considering my options for the next one. Definitely a lot of JRPGs I want to talk about.

[@Dasten]

+1 for Wild Arms theme

[@LoveBbyJay]

I love your videos! I'd really love to see your take on Cruelty Squad at some point!

[@Tetsaga]

You deserve far more views my dude! Wow!

[@Ky-Nas]

Dark Messiah of Might and Magic _FUCKS SO HARD!_ I honestly kinda wish it could have a generic open world or something just so I could spend more time replaying it without having to go through the same levels ad nauseum.

[@makecanadametalagain3722]

This video is great as ive wanted to play this game for when it came out but never got to and i like the editing like the dark messiah kick with mouth for war by pantera

[@LongTran-kp3kz]

Haha! I love the Wild ARMs music in the background! Wild ARMs 1 had a damn good opening track, and i love the first game.

[@dreadgrave3379]

Hey if you wanna try another game like this I recommend Seven: Day Long Gone. It's comically similar to Weird West but imo much better executed. It's a little more Dishonored than WW is and it's got that verticality and map design you were looking for. All open world and afaik hand crafted from shore to shore.

[@samreddig8819]

And miracleofsound did the theme

[@wareforcoin5780]

My brain automatically said "Wind Waker" and not "Wild West."

[@Jolfgard]

How dare you let his [Invalid Object1RelationToSelf] out of there, you monster!

[@SuperCoreyBlack]

Good game, i hope they release a sequel or something like that

[@dyingstar24]

Huh... Didn't know weird West had aliens but that abduction in the intro proves it... Cool!

[@NatonJolyBotogoske]

Let's raise the engagement for this great content!

[@frankwest3233]

Great video man!! Also if anyone wants to skip the hefty fee, game pass has it!

[@NickAndWolf]

I’m trying to place the song at 13:00 but I can’t. I wanna say Time Splitters?

[@Majuular]

You got it! Time Splitters 2 - Wild West

[@someoneelse1534]

Best presentation of Dark Messiah!

[@danantonio9618]

I played this with a controller on PS5. Inventory management and UI was super tedious without keyboard and mouse, I'm wondering if there's not a better way to have adapted it for consoles.

[@davethezanno3782]

Btw u can craft a golden pickaxe and shovel, unlimited uses

[@trueneese8080]

The Earth is indeed flat, I mean it may very well be a circle, but still a flat circle. Otherwise fighter jet radar wouldn’t work, naval vessels wouldn’t be able to laser pin point another vessel 100 miles away, even a simple periscope wouldn’t work because the physical horizon from even 3ft would be around 2.5 miles or so, but a periscope can see about 11 miles +. A little bit of trigonometry shows this impossible. Planes navigate assuming a stationary plane, because the earth doesn’t spin for artillery or planes or anything else. Pilots use the level horizon to navigate and if an object at any distance is above or below the horizon, it is above or below the pilot. That’s impossible on a globe. No one has ever recorded circumnavigating Antarctica in modern times, nor has anyone ever crossed Antarctica and come out on the other side. The only recorded journey around Antarctica was Captain Cook and it was about 60k miles because Antarctica surround the continents (the arctic being the center) named appropriately since from the arctic the sun arcs around you and from the Antarctic the sun anti-arcs away from you. If outer space was a vacuum it would rip the atmosphere off the Earth. I could explain thoroughly why relativity is so entirely impractical, but suffice it to say it is a distraction from the real elemental forces of nature (electricity and magnetism) that’s why no one has really advanced Teslas patents in 100 years. Well, that’s the best I can do for now, good luck people, it’s a wild world.

Great review of a great game

[@omikeyursofine]

Okay what’s the song in the opening from?? It’s driving me nuts and I can’t put my finger on it!!!

[@omikeyursofine]

Found it, it’s Shadow’s Theme from FFVI, I knew it was a FF song but couldn’t place it

[@analogmoz]

Good day, everyone! Can anyone please tell me the name of the song in the very, very beginning of the video? It's familiar but I cannot quite place it. Thanks!

[@Majuular]

Shadow's theme from FF6!

[@analogmoz]

_That's it!_ I have not heard that song in 20+ years but I kinda remembered! Thank you!

[@Kammereer]

I have very mixed feelings on Weird West. I played the Bounty Hunter campaign, and it was great fun, and I was happy. And then the game kept going. And going. And going... And it had nothing new to show that wasn't already in the Bounty Hunter campaign. I would genuinely like Weird West much better if it was just 1/5th of its size and ended when you save your husband.

[@davethezanno3782]

After each new character u get u can Just get the previous one as a companion to get all your shit back

[@MuradBeybalaev]

Why is this one unlisted?

[@YakiAttaki]

Majuular YiiK review when?

[@dudeskeela]

i was here the day the thumbnails changed

[@justinkroboth360]

You know, I'm with you - I can't call this an immersive sim. Perspective matters - I don't see my life from a topdown view, so it does take me out of it, if only minutely. I get that their heart is in the right place, and that's not a judgment on the game itself, it's just *not* an immersive sim.

[@nickelakon5369]

I don't see random cinematic angles while I talk to people, nor does a list of possible responses appear in front of me. I guess days ex isn't an immersive Sim either.

[@lucascoval828]

​@@nickelakon5369 🤣🤣🤣

[@Rick_Dixon]

just put your best weapons and some goldbars in the bank all characters can use the bank's stash

[@Gukoh]

hi

[@Majuular]

hey

[@BraveAbandon]

I binged all your videos and then watched this last because i was expecting a 30 year like old game because of the thumbnail. Thats probably the reason why the views are so low compared to your other videos

[@user-ju1du2sm6b]

Dishonored waa too easy and the models were weird

[@cupriferouscatalyst3708]

Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one who doesn't like unlockable abilities in games that aren't typical RPGs. It's the reason I can't get into System Shock 2 even though I love the first game; it's why I didn't really enjoy the two recent Doom games even though the old ones are some of my absolute all-time favorites. It's just annoying to me to know that I can't do all the cool stuff yet because I haven't collected enough doohickeys, and that the game might become too hard or too easy if I pick the wrong abilities (not to mention starting a new game always just sucks). The worst part is that it just breaks all the immersion for me: if I'm not playing a highly abstract class building game with experience points, then why am I collecting upgrade tokens to make my skin 5% thicker? It's like, just give me the fun abilities from the start and remove all the useless incremental bonuses that only serve to give me dopamine while making the developer's job of balancing the difficulty ten times harder.

[@bluefacestan1826]

I dislike the ending a lot lol

[@Vulpas]

OHHH THEY CONSULTED WITH INDIANS WEEEEEEW IM SOYFACING!!!!!!!!!!

[@Ike_of_pyke]

I mean if you are going to represent French men in your game are you going to consult polish or the French ?

[@StormWatcher313]

Soy is gay lol

[@Majuular]

Please don't soyface in my comments, thank you.

[@Fahrenheit38]

I see you using wild arms music

[@TheTogoRojo]

Thanks for the new game I'm definitely going to play
