00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:02.520
Today, we're talking fire -breathing demons,

00:00:02.779 --> 00:00:05.679
six crests of unimaginable power, and one of

00:00:05.679 --> 00:00:07.639
the most infuriating boss fights ever created,

00:00:07.780 --> 00:00:41.149
it's Demon's Crest for SNES. Hello everyone,

00:00:41.369 --> 00:00:43.229
welcome to Retro Gaming Beyond Presents Retro

00:00:43.229 --> 00:00:45.429
Game Club, the self -proclaimed brothers grim

00:00:45.429 --> 00:00:47.890
of video games. We're your hosts Joe, Eric, Ryan,

00:00:47.990 --> 00:00:50.289
and Jacob Vanderloski, and today we are talking

00:00:50.289 --> 00:00:52.310
Demon's Crest for the Super Nintendo Entertainment

00:00:52.310 --> 00:00:54.890
System. But before we get to that, just a few

00:00:54.890 --> 00:00:58.670
quick things. We've had videos out and down for

00:00:58.670 --> 00:01:01.210
a couple weeks, and the YouTube views have been

00:01:01.210 --> 00:01:02.929
pretty good. We've got a few hundred views on

00:01:02.929 --> 00:01:05.010
our stuff, so thank you to everyone who's watching.

00:01:05.670 --> 00:01:07.549
We hope you stick around, we hope you're playing

00:01:07.549 --> 00:01:09.510
the games with us, so just a big thanks there,

00:01:09.569 --> 00:01:12.239
that's cool. We have a couple of socials we'd

00:01:12.239 --> 00:01:15.159
said last time. So we got Instagram at RGB underscore

00:01:15.159 --> 00:01:18.099
Game Club. We're working on a Discord. Ryan,

00:01:18.140 --> 00:01:21.680
do you know if the Discord's about ready? Yeah,

00:01:21.939 --> 00:01:27.159
I mean, it's close. It's operational, but it's

00:01:27.159 --> 00:01:29.280
just not polished yet. Yeah, all right. Well,

00:01:29.379 --> 00:01:30.959
we'll probably have links for all this stuff

00:01:30.959 --> 00:01:32.519
in the description. So check the description

00:01:32.519 --> 00:01:35.459
out. We also have the YouTube at Retro Gaming

00:01:35.459 --> 00:01:38.579
Beyond HD. There's also like a... Full gameplay

00:01:38.579 --> 00:01:41.519
walkthroughs up there as well. And then also

00:01:41.519 --> 00:01:42.980
you can just check us out on Apple and Spotify.

00:01:43.200 --> 00:01:44.599
That's where the podcast is going to be as well.

00:01:44.780 --> 00:01:47.200
So yeah, just come check us out. Come join the

00:01:47.200 --> 00:01:49.459
community. Come talk and have some fun, play

00:01:49.459 --> 00:01:51.299
some games. So we look forward to seeing you

00:01:51.299 --> 00:01:54.459
guys. All right. With that being said, let's

00:01:54.459 --> 00:01:57.200
go ahead and move over to our Word of the Nerd

00:01:57.200 --> 00:01:59.700
section here. What have you guys been doing this

00:01:59.700 --> 00:02:04.379
past few weeks? I started playing the Resident

00:02:04.379 --> 00:02:08.050
Evils. I'm playing the remasters right now, but

00:02:08.050 --> 00:02:13.909
I beat 2 and 3. So I beat 2 and 3, and I'm on

00:02:13.909 --> 00:02:16.250
4 right now. Did they remaster the first one?

00:02:17.129 --> 00:02:20.789
Not a modern one. They remastered it, but they

00:02:20.789 --> 00:02:25.509
didn't remake it. So 2, 3, and 4 remakes. They're

00:02:25.509 --> 00:02:29.490
not really remastered. The first game was remade

00:02:29.490 --> 00:02:32.590
for the GameCube, but it still has the fixed

00:02:32.590 --> 00:02:35.680
angle stuff. I know what you're saying. They

00:02:35.680 --> 00:02:38.460
have one on the PC, but it's not remade. Why

00:02:38.460 --> 00:02:40.039
did they always skip the first one? What is up

00:02:40.039 --> 00:02:42.580
with that? I don't know. Oh, actually, did you

00:02:42.580 --> 00:02:44.800
see that the new Silent Hill is getting remastered?

00:02:44.800 --> 00:02:46.800
The first one? Yeah, yeah. Me and Jacob were

00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:48.439
just talking about that earlier. That's crazy.

00:02:48.919 --> 00:02:50.479
I don't know why they went to the second one

00:02:50.479 --> 00:02:52.360
first. I don't understand what the idea behind

00:02:52.360 --> 00:02:53.780
all that is, but whatever. Anyway. Yeah, I said

00:02:53.780 --> 00:02:55.379
the same thing. I thought it was weird. It's

00:02:55.379 --> 00:02:58.939
so weird. Whatever. So you've said you beat the

00:02:58.939 --> 00:03:01.879
second and third one, you said? Yeah. I'm on

00:03:01.879 --> 00:03:04.939
the fourth one right now. Nice. Third? pretty

00:03:04.939 --> 00:03:09.039
good so far but uh dude for whatever reason two

00:03:09.039 --> 00:03:11.319
i didn't have this problem with three but two

00:03:11.319 --> 00:03:14.180
and four the i don't know what's wrong with it

00:03:14.180 --> 00:03:17.379
it's if it's an engine problem or how they're

00:03:17.379 --> 00:03:22.780
coded but dude they they crash so much the games

00:03:22.780 --> 00:03:27.680
you mean yeah dude so for resident evil 2 i had

00:03:27.680 --> 00:03:31.240
to go back to dx11 and it never crashed after

00:03:31.240 --> 00:03:35.699
that But for whatever reason, DX12 on these games

00:03:35.699 --> 00:03:41.280
is just god -awful. It's weird. So, I don't know.

00:03:41.479 --> 00:03:43.340
I had to do it. 3 was the only one I didn't have

00:03:43.340 --> 00:03:45.840
a problem with. I think it crashed like once.

00:03:46.919 --> 00:03:51.240
And then 4, I rolled that back to DX11 and I'm

00:03:51.240 --> 00:03:53.219
still getting crashes, but just not as much.

00:03:53.560 --> 00:03:57.939
And I don't know what to do. Everybody's also

00:03:57.939 --> 00:04:02.379
a fucking doctor on the internet. But everybody's

00:04:02.379 --> 00:04:04.800
like, you got your graphics, your settings are

00:04:04.800 --> 00:04:08.139
too high. Like, dude, I have a 16 or an 8 gig

00:04:08.139 --> 00:04:11.939
GPU and I'm using like 3 gigs of it on this game.

00:04:12.139 --> 00:04:15.199
Yeah, I know. Because the games, now modern games

00:04:15.199 --> 00:04:17.220
tell you how much you're using and stuff. Yeah,

00:04:17.220 --> 00:04:19.639
yeah. I'm even using half of my GPU and it's

00:04:19.639 --> 00:04:22.040
crashing. You can't tell me that I'm using too

00:04:22.040 --> 00:04:25.160
much of my GPU. And then half of everybody's

00:04:25.160 --> 00:04:27.259
like, yeah, it's just a DirectX. It's all shit.

00:04:28.019 --> 00:04:30.899
I don't know. I just have to crawl. through it

00:04:30.899 --> 00:04:32.980
and yeah i guess sounds like you've been having

00:04:32.980 --> 00:04:37.620
a fun week i don't the crashes i don't care too

00:04:37.620 --> 00:04:40.139
much i mean i do i don't care if it does it every

00:04:40.139 --> 00:04:43.040
now and again but it's just a fact of this game

00:04:43.040 --> 00:04:45.899
it's like you make progress and then i don't

00:04:45.899 --> 00:04:48.040
know if i'm just scared that's the problem yeah

00:04:48.040 --> 00:04:50.740
like i go make progress and then i do something

00:04:50.740 --> 00:04:52.920
hard or i find something hidden or something

00:04:52.920 --> 00:04:54.899
and then it crashes and i have to do it all over

00:04:54.899 --> 00:04:57.259
again oh yeah bro you preaching the choir playing

00:04:57.259 --> 00:05:01.089
these old games here yeah But at least they work.

00:05:01.689 --> 00:05:05.550
True. These are brand new video games that don't

00:05:05.550 --> 00:05:11.269
work. Yeah, I know. By a AAA studio that they

00:05:11.269 --> 00:05:13.629
were running perfectly fine. I'm sure they run

00:05:13.629 --> 00:05:16.829
fine on the consoles. I'm sure they run fine.

00:05:17.430 --> 00:05:21.649
Yeah, I'm sure they do. Of course, looking it

00:05:21.649 --> 00:05:23.920
up online, there's... 20 different problems.

00:05:24.139 --> 00:05:25.879
Well, dude, that's just PC gaming in general.

00:05:26.660 --> 00:05:30.360
Yeah, I know. I just can't figure it out. Everybody's

00:05:30.360 --> 00:05:32.339
telling me to turn off ray tracing, which I did.

00:05:32.399 --> 00:05:35.819
It still crashes. It's just such a pain, man.

00:05:36.399 --> 00:05:39.079
But once I fixed two, it was perfectly fine.

00:05:39.180 --> 00:05:42.160
Two and three were really good. But I'm enjoying

00:05:42.160 --> 00:05:45.360
four. That's just the only downside. They run

00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:49.720
good. I'm getting 120 frames constantly. They

00:05:49.720 --> 00:05:52.430
run... Smooth, but it's just a crashing and I

00:05:52.430 --> 00:05:55.009
don't understand you're playing the for remake.

00:05:55.610 --> 00:05:59.310
Yeah. Okay. Yep Yeah, I bought that one. I need

00:05:59.310 --> 00:06:02.769
to put it Good luck. Yeah, hopefully you don't

00:06:02.769 --> 00:06:05.110
have that problem Some people do some people

00:06:05.110 --> 00:06:07.470
don't Jacob was saying he had no problem with

00:06:07.470 --> 00:06:11.470
two. So okay. I don't I don't know Yeah, I've

00:06:11.470 --> 00:06:13.589
I've actually never played a Resident Evil. We

00:06:13.589 --> 00:06:17.250
need to I need to fix that. So Yeah, we have

00:06:17.250 --> 00:06:20.779
to play some show for sure I got them because

00:06:20.779 --> 00:06:23.920
they were on sale because they announced the

00:06:23.920 --> 00:06:27.160
ninth one coming out. I was like, oh shit, I

00:06:27.160 --> 00:06:29.500
got three and four for like 40 bucks. I was like,

00:06:29.519 --> 00:06:32.939
that's good. Because I played five, we played

00:06:32.939 --> 00:06:35.160
five a lot, and then I played seven and eight,

00:06:35.259 --> 00:06:37.879
which I liked all three of them. And then I played

00:06:37.879 --> 00:06:41.220
the first one a long time ago. and then I was

00:06:41.220 --> 00:06:43.779
like I had two I bought three years ago and never

00:06:43.779 --> 00:06:46.000
beat it because I just I couldn't get into it

00:06:46.000 --> 00:06:47.879
so I tried playing it again I was like okay this

00:06:47.879 --> 00:06:50.060
is pretty good so I just bought the other two

00:06:50.060 --> 00:06:52.600
but they're all pretty good games man they really

00:06:52.600 --> 00:06:55.379
are well yeah obviously I mean there's so many

00:06:55.379 --> 00:06:58.220
of them people obviously like them so yeah yeah

00:06:58.220 --> 00:07:00.819
I've been so excited for four because I know

00:07:00.819 --> 00:07:03.560
everybody loves four it's really good so far

00:07:03.560 --> 00:07:08.160
but god damn it man why Why can't it just not

00:07:08.160 --> 00:07:11.160
crash? It's just something I just don't understand.

00:07:12.199 --> 00:07:15.759
It's just how it goes sometimes, man. Yeah, I

00:07:15.759 --> 00:07:18.199
don't know. And apparently it's been a problem

00:07:18.199 --> 00:07:22.120
for over a year and hasn't been fixed. I don't

00:07:22.120 --> 00:07:25.519
know. Thanks, Capcom. Speaking of Capcom, bet

00:07:25.519 --> 00:07:28.199
you made this game, but we'll get to that. Anything

00:07:28.199 --> 00:07:32.000
else? Anybody else? Just reading my berserks.

00:07:32.000 --> 00:07:34.540
Got one more book left. Almost done. Getting

00:07:34.540 --> 00:07:36.779
towards the end there. I went through and played

00:07:36.779 --> 00:07:40.180
some Streets of Rage 2. I mastered that. Went

00:07:40.180 --> 00:07:43.300
back and played some TMNT Shredder's Revenge

00:07:43.300 --> 00:07:46.899
for a little bit. Nice. And as you guys know,

00:07:46.939 --> 00:07:50.680
I was playing some Need for Speed Hopper 2. There's

00:07:50.680 --> 00:07:52.740
new content for the Shredder's Revenge, right?

00:07:53.019 --> 00:07:55.819
Yeah, they had like DLC for... Is there like

00:07:55.819 --> 00:07:57.100
new story stuff or is it just... They had Mondo

00:07:57.100 --> 00:08:00.139
Gecko and who else did they have? I don't remember.

00:08:00.740 --> 00:08:04.649
Isn't it Usagi? Usagi Yojimbo? Yeah, Usagi. Is

00:08:04.649 --> 00:08:06.670
it just characters though? Is there like new

00:08:06.670 --> 00:08:09.329
story or levels or anything? I think there's

00:08:09.329 --> 00:08:12.689
like an attack mode or something. Oh, okay. Yeah,

00:08:12.790 --> 00:08:14.290
I don't remember. I didn't look into it too much.

00:08:14.370 --> 00:08:16.829
I don't have it. We need to play that Power Rangers

00:08:16.829 --> 00:08:19.589
one. Yeah, dude, that Power Rangers one. Yeah,

00:08:19.610 --> 00:08:22.170
that one looks cool. I want to play that. I heard

00:08:22.170 --> 00:08:25.370
that got some mixed reviews. I don't care. Yeah,

00:08:25.449 --> 00:08:27.170
I know. As long as it doesn't crash all the time.

00:08:27.850 --> 00:08:32.090
Yeah. Yeah, good luck. Yeah, that one does look

00:08:32.090 --> 00:08:35.879
cool though. Yeah, that's cool. Modern gaming

00:08:35.879 --> 00:08:39.080
is just... Bro, go hook up a Sega CD to a Sega

00:08:39.080 --> 00:08:41.100
Genesis and you'll see that it's always been

00:08:41.100 --> 00:08:44.820
that way. Yeah, but once the game starts running,

00:08:44.960 --> 00:08:47.659
you know it won't crash. I don't know about that.

00:08:47.879 --> 00:08:52.080
I have a $2 ,000 computer and I can't run a game.

00:08:54.100 --> 00:08:56.440
And then everybody blames you for having either

00:08:56.440 --> 00:08:59.679
a shit setup or you want your graphics too high.

00:09:00.419 --> 00:09:03.409
Can't be the game's fault. No, it's never the

00:09:03.409 --> 00:09:07.470
game's fault. Jacob, what do you got going on?

00:09:08.389 --> 00:09:12.250
Getting a little away from video games. What,

00:09:12.350 --> 00:09:15.470
bro? Are you crazy? It's worth the nerve. We

00:09:15.470 --> 00:09:18.250
can do whatever. Getting a little away from video

00:09:18.250 --> 00:09:20.990
games. Last week, I finished up a book series

00:09:20.990 --> 00:09:25.289
known as The Books of Elsewhere. There's only

00:09:25.289 --> 00:09:27.409
like five books. They're only about, I don't

00:09:27.409 --> 00:09:30.700
know, a little less than 200 pages. I really

00:09:30.700 --> 00:09:34.500
enjoyed those books. They're like slightly fantasy

00:09:34.500 --> 00:09:36.340
books. They have like a little bit of magic and

00:09:36.340 --> 00:09:39.340
stuff like that. They're fairly easy to read,

00:09:39.399 --> 00:09:41.019
but they were really nice to go through. The

00:09:41.019 --> 00:09:43.320
characters were all, I mean, I love the characters

00:09:43.320 --> 00:09:45.299
in the books. They were all just so well written

00:09:45.299 --> 00:09:49.019
and the plots and the environment. It was all

00:09:49.019 --> 00:09:50.360
just really good, I think. I don't know if you

00:09:50.360 --> 00:09:52.879
guys have ever heard of it. No. What's like a

00:09:52.879 --> 00:09:56.120
quick synopsis of it? um so a family of three

00:09:56.120 --> 00:09:59.379
moves into like a really old house and this house

00:09:59.379 --> 00:10:01.779
has a lot of uh secrets to it because it was

00:10:01.779 --> 00:10:03.940
owned by um someone that can make like magical

00:10:03.940 --> 00:10:07.100
paintings you could like go inside the paintings

00:10:07.100 --> 00:10:09.759
there's like an entire world in there oh so super

00:10:09.759 --> 00:10:14.240
mario 64 yeah exactly but the person that did

00:10:14.240 --> 00:10:17.639
that is like um they want the house back but

00:10:17.639 --> 00:10:20.299
they're like not completely human they're like

00:10:20.299 --> 00:10:23.450
dead but not dead so They want to get the house

00:10:23.450 --> 00:10:25.450
back from the family of three, but the daughter

00:10:25.450 --> 00:10:28.409
stops that because she really starts to get attached

00:10:28.409 --> 00:10:31.470
to the house. All right. Sounds interesting.

00:10:32.190 --> 00:10:34.309
It's pretty good. I might have to check those

00:10:34.309 --> 00:10:39.610
out. All right, cool. I finished that footfall

00:10:39.610 --> 00:10:42.169
book. It was pretty good. The ending kind of

00:10:42.169 --> 00:10:45.610
just fell flat, but overall, I enjoyed it. It's

00:10:45.610 --> 00:10:48.830
just an invasion of intelligent elephant people

00:10:48.830 --> 00:10:52.200
on Earth. It's pretty crazy. yeah that sounds

00:10:52.200 --> 00:10:55.100
weird yeah it was different um like i said it

00:10:55.100 --> 00:10:57.139
took forever to get started but once it did it

00:10:57.139 --> 00:10:58.960
did pretty good and then the ending was kind

00:10:58.960 --> 00:11:01.399
of it was mediocre but i enjoyed it it was a

00:11:01.399 --> 00:11:04.879
decent book and then uh since eric's been talking

00:11:04.879 --> 00:11:06.700

00:11:36.820 --> 00:11:40.460
but yeah so i need to i need to read them i haven't

00:11:40.460 --> 00:11:42.679
actually read them yet but oh and then i bought

00:11:42.679 --> 00:11:45.779
one called the walking cat It's about zombie

00:11:45.779 --> 00:11:48.000
apocalypse from like the eyes of a cat or something.

00:11:48.320 --> 00:11:50.519
I don't know. That sounds awesome. Yeah, it was

00:11:50.519 --> 00:11:51.659
cheap and it looked pretty good. That is pretty

00:11:51.659 --> 00:11:53.100
cool. Yeah, I was like, all right, I'll buy that.

00:11:53.159 --> 00:11:55.379
It looks cool. You haven't read that one yet?

00:11:55.539 --> 00:11:56.720
No, I haven't read any of them yet because I

00:11:56.720 --> 00:11:58.960
was finishing the footfall book, but I'll probably

00:11:58.960 --> 00:12:01.259
start sometime this week or something. Yeah,

00:12:01.299 --> 00:12:02.799
let me know because I might check that one out

00:12:02.799 --> 00:12:04.220
because it sounds cool. Yeah, that one sounded

00:12:04.220 --> 00:12:07.340
cool. I actually also started Dr. Zhivago. I

00:12:07.340 --> 00:12:09.240
don't know how to pronounce that, but I just

00:12:09.240 --> 00:12:11.639
started that book. It's interesting. I think

00:12:11.639 --> 00:12:14.360
it's about like the Russian Revolution. Like

00:12:14.360 --> 00:12:17.600
the early, I think 1900s, I think it is. Okay.

00:12:17.720 --> 00:12:19.000
So I've heard of it. I don't think I heard of

00:12:19.000 --> 00:12:20.960
that one. Yeah, it's like, it's not like a super

00:12:20.960 --> 00:12:24.500
classic, but it's a well -known book, you know.

00:12:25.279 --> 00:12:26.960
There's like movies and stuff based off of it.

00:12:28.019 --> 00:12:31.240
Okay. Yeah, that's books. I've been doing books.

00:12:31.299 --> 00:12:33.559
And then I've actually been like listening to

00:12:33.559 --> 00:12:36.340
other podcasts just since now that we're doing

00:12:36.340 --> 00:12:37.799
it. I just kind of see what else is going on

00:12:37.799 --> 00:12:39.200
out there. I didn't really listen to a lot of

00:12:39.200 --> 00:12:42.519
podcasts before, but I've been trying to. just

00:12:42.519 --> 00:12:44.659
delving into them more recently. And I actually

00:12:44.659 --> 00:12:46.720
found one called The History of the English Language.

00:12:47.000 --> 00:12:50.659
It is so fascinating, dude. He just goes over

00:12:50.659 --> 00:12:54.240
how our English started and the languages before

00:12:54.240 --> 00:12:56.460
that that became our English. And it's just pretty

00:12:56.460 --> 00:13:01.220
crazy how long words have been around and that

00:13:01.220 --> 00:13:03.500
we still use words and stuff and just where they

00:13:03.500 --> 00:13:05.100
came from. I don't know. I find that shit fascinating.

00:13:05.340 --> 00:13:09.820
And how the evolution of people and the communities

00:13:09.820 --> 00:13:12.460
helped shape all that stuff. I don't know. It's

00:13:12.460 --> 00:13:14.059
just a really cool, interesting podcast. I like

00:13:14.059 --> 00:13:17.279
it a lot. Yeah, that sounds pretty dope. Yeah,

00:13:17.299 --> 00:13:19.080
but let's do it at work. It helps work go by

00:13:19.080 --> 00:13:23.539
faster. For sure. Yeah. But yeah, if you're into

00:13:23.539 --> 00:13:25.159
any of that history or English stuff or anything,

00:13:25.200 --> 00:13:29.779
it's really cool. Check it out. And then me and

00:13:29.779 --> 00:13:31.860
my friends started watching a show called Warrior.

00:13:32.519 --> 00:13:33.580
It's pretty good. I don't know if you guys ever

00:13:33.580 --> 00:13:35.980
heard of that show or not. No, I don't think

00:13:35.980 --> 00:13:37.580
so. It's pretty good. I don't know if anybody

00:13:37.580 --> 00:13:41.500
knows Kung Fu. It's kind of like a Kung Fu. type

00:13:41.500 --> 00:13:45.179
of show but this uh guy comes over to I think

00:13:45.179 --> 00:13:46.960
it's like San Diego or something from Chicago

00:13:46.960 --> 00:13:49.759
um China and he's just it's just about him like

00:13:49.759 --> 00:13:51.500
he gets caught up in gangsters and he's just

00:13:51.500 --> 00:13:53.879
trying to make his way over here so it's pretty

00:13:53.879 --> 00:13:55.860
good it's pretty interesting I like it gotcha

00:13:55.860 --> 00:13:58.559
yeah that's pretty much all I got I haven't played

00:13:58.559 --> 00:14:00.240
too many other games I don't think just still

00:14:00.240 --> 00:14:02.700
playing shadows finishing that game up I was

00:14:02.700 --> 00:14:07.070
like I can finish that up soon no no that game's

00:14:07.070 --> 00:14:09.230
so much shit in that game jesus christ video

00:14:09.230 --> 00:14:12.090
games have gotten too big yeah that game is rather

00:14:12.090 --> 00:14:14.029
large and i don't even think it's the other two

00:14:14.029 --> 00:14:16.470
before it i think were even bigger so they actually

00:14:16.470 --> 00:14:18.350
they actually toned this one down and it's still

00:14:18.350 --> 00:14:22.309
this one yeah but i could never play that game

00:14:22.309 --> 00:14:25.590
you might have to bro in 20 years no be on the

00:14:25.590 --> 00:14:31.429
podcast i mean i need like a year to record yeah

00:14:31.429 --> 00:14:33.860
you need a year to play it not to record You'll

00:14:33.860 --> 00:14:35.600
be retired at that point. You'll have plenty

00:14:35.600 --> 00:14:37.679
of time. So yeah, that's just what I've been

00:14:37.679 --> 00:14:39.299
doing. I don't know. Anybody else got anything

00:14:39.299 --> 00:14:42.519
else? Nope. Nope. Alright. Working around stupid

00:14:42.519 --> 00:14:46.460
cars. Yeah. Yeah. Still? What do you want, dude?

00:14:46.519 --> 00:14:48.700
What do you want from me? I told you, it's not

00:14:48.700 --> 00:14:54.179
easy. Yeah, I know. Alright. Okay, let's jump

00:14:54.179 --> 00:15:20.639
over to our game. All right, so we're playing

00:15:20.639 --> 00:15:23.779
Demon's Crest for the Super Nintendo Entertainment

00:15:23.779 --> 00:15:26.340
System. It was developed and published by Capcom

00:15:26.340 --> 00:15:30.980
in 1994. It's kind of a, I don't know, spiritual

00:15:30.980 --> 00:15:33.279
successor. There's two games before this called

00:15:33.279 --> 00:15:36.019
Gargoyle's Quest 1 and 2, which were on the Game

00:15:36.019 --> 00:15:38.100
Boy, and then the second one was on the NES and

00:15:38.100 --> 00:15:40.779
the Game Boy. I don't think they're directly

00:15:40.779 --> 00:15:42.679
related. I think it's just the same character.

00:15:43.139 --> 00:15:44.879
I don't think there's any story or anything related

00:15:44.879 --> 00:15:48.419
to the two, or between the three. So were you

00:15:48.419 --> 00:15:53.340
guys able to complete this game? Yes. Did everybody

00:15:53.340 --> 00:15:56.940
beat the secret ending, the secret boss? I did.

00:15:58.659 --> 00:16:02.419
What's the secret boss? The dark demon. Oh, yeah.

00:16:02.580 --> 00:16:07.159
Yeah, I did too. I think we all did it. Jacob,

00:16:07.200 --> 00:16:08.919
you did do it? You said you beat the dark demon?

00:16:09.039 --> 00:16:12.879
No, I just got the, I guess the bad ending. Oh,

00:16:12.899 --> 00:16:15.980
you just got the bad ending? You didn't fight

00:16:15.980 --> 00:16:18.600
phalanx or anything? Yeah, I fought him. Oh.

00:16:18.679 --> 00:16:20.759
Just the once. You didn't do his second form

00:16:20.759 --> 00:16:23.200
or third form or anything? Mm -mm. Oh, okay.

00:16:23.320 --> 00:16:25.259
All right. You only played like half the game,

00:16:25.340 --> 00:16:28.580
bro. Yeah, I know. You can do that in like 10

00:16:28.580 --> 00:16:31.080
minutes. Yeah. All right. Well, that's fine.

00:16:31.799 --> 00:16:34.039
Yeah, so the idea... So I guess we'll go over

00:16:34.039 --> 00:16:37.220
quick. The Demon's Crest, there's two worlds.

00:16:37.279 --> 00:16:40.620
There's the humans and the demons. And then one

00:16:40.620 --> 00:16:44.000
day there's this crest, these crest of... power

00:16:44.000 --> 00:16:45.960
just fall from the sky i don't really say where

00:16:45.960 --> 00:16:49.620
they come from and firebrand uh goes through

00:16:49.620 --> 00:16:52.059
and defeats everyone uh and then gets all of

00:16:52.059 --> 00:16:54.240
them and then when he gets the final one his

00:16:54.240 --> 00:16:57.320
i guess that battle made him weak and phalanx

00:16:57.320 --> 00:16:59.240
comes by and attacks him and then takes them

00:16:59.240 --> 00:17:02.279
all from him and you have to start over again

00:17:02.279 --> 00:17:04.140
to get them all which this is so weird to me

00:17:04.140 --> 00:17:07.619
why did they write it that way why did you get

00:17:07.619 --> 00:17:09.279
them all lose them and then i had to go back

00:17:09.279 --> 00:17:11.299
and get them all why didn't you just start with

00:17:11.299 --> 00:17:13.640
you getting them all Right? Yeah. What was the

00:17:13.640 --> 00:17:16.460
point of that? That's so weird to me. Yeah, I

00:17:16.460 --> 00:17:19.099
didn't follow that too well. It's just weird.

00:17:19.160 --> 00:17:21.839
Why didn't they just start with, hey, these crests

00:17:21.839 --> 00:17:23.880
fall down, go and gather them. But you already

00:17:23.880 --> 00:17:25.720
gathered them, lost them, and now you're going

00:17:25.720 --> 00:17:27.420
back to get them again? Okay, I don't know. Yeah,

00:17:27.480 --> 00:17:29.940
you're just doing the same thing. Just a convoluted

00:17:29.940 --> 00:17:32.660
story for no reason to me. I don't know. I wonder

00:17:32.660 --> 00:17:34.880
if there's some translation stuff there. Who

00:17:34.880 --> 00:17:37.539
knows back then in these days. But anyway, which

00:17:37.539 --> 00:17:39.279
is pretty cool, actually, because it has this

00:17:39.279 --> 00:17:42.430
cutscene. of that kind of showing that real quickly

00:17:42.430 --> 00:17:44.349
and then it goes straight into the gameplay which

00:17:44.349 --> 00:17:45.849
i thought was pretty cool for an older game like

00:17:45.849 --> 00:17:47.650
this it kind of just throws you right in the

00:17:47.650 --> 00:17:50.890
action when the solemn solemn mule solemn something

00:17:50.890 --> 00:17:53.190
like that that big dragon guy comes out of the

00:17:53.190 --> 00:17:55.890
coliseum and starts attacking you which dude

00:17:55.890 --> 00:17:57.869
what an opening for a game that was so cool yeah

00:17:57.869 --> 00:18:00.869
that was that was awesome yeah such an awesome

00:18:00.869 --> 00:18:03.690
opening yeah And then even like the title screen

00:18:03.690 --> 00:18:05.549
before it too, man, the animation in that title

00:18:05.549 --> 00:18:08.430
screen was sick with the way the fire showed

00:18:08.430 --> 00:18:11.349
up and the parchment. Like, oh man, I wonder

00:18:11.349 --> 00:18:12.829
how long it took them to make that intro because

00:18:12.829 --> 00:18:16.369
it was so awesome. Yeah. I sat there and I was

00:18:16.369 --> 00:18:18.549
like, whoa. Yeah, dude. I was like, this game

00:18:18.549 --> 00:18:20.509
is going to be sick. Yeah. Oh yeah. I can't wait

00:18:20.509 --> 00:18:23.430
to play this. Yeah. So yeah. So then you, uh,

00:18:23.650 --> 00:18:26.569
you, you fight Solomon, whatever his name is.

00:18:26.589 --> 00:18:28.329
I keep, I forgot how he said his name, but you

00:18:28.329 --> 00:18:31.509
fight him. And then, um, you're basically into

00:18:31.509 --> 00:18:34.390
the game after that and it's it's an action platformer

00:18:34.390 --> 00:18:37.329
uh it's got some i guess some rpg elements to

00:18:37.329 --> 00:18:41.990
it um you play as firebrand which i like i like

00:18:41.990 --> 00:18:43.849
the movement in this game because you can uh

00:18:43.849 --> 00:18:45.769
you can jump but then you can also fly around

00:18:45.769 --> 00:18:47.150
which is pretty cool i mean you can only fly

00:18:47.150 --> 00:18:49.309
like to the left and the right but i thought

00:18:49.309 --> 00:18:50.589
that was pretty cool there's not a lot of games

00:18:50.589 --> 00:18:53.009
that i can think of where you actually uh can

00:18:53.009 --> 00:18:55.849
just fly around like that it's pretty cool you

00:18:55.849 --> 00:18:58.750
also have an attack you have a fire shot which

00:18:58.750 --> 00:19:01.069
can get upgraded later on and then you can like

00:19:01.069 --> 00:19:02.869
attack statues and stuff in the background and

00:19:02.869 --> 00:19:05.829
stuff too so and then so later on in the game

00:19:05.829 --> 00:19:08.190
you get like uh power -ups you can like upgrade

00:19:08.190 --> 00:19:11.170
your shot you can uh even get like a when you

00:19:11.170 --> 00:19:13.869
get the crests the power crests they give you

00:19:13.869 --> 00:19:16.069
like a new form which i thought it was pretty

00:19:16.069 --> 00:19:18.750
cool that every form every form wasn't just like

00:19:18.750 --> 00:19:21.309
a palette swap it was actually like a whole new

00:19:21.309 --> 00:19:24.410
uh sprite which i thought was pretty cool this

00:19:24.410 --> 00:19:26.960
game kind of reminds me of like megaman It had

00:19:26.960 --> 00:19:28.980
like Mega Man vibes to me because you get like

00:19:28.980 --> 00:19:30.380
upgrades and stuff and then you can like switch

00:19:30.380 --> 00:19:32.839
between them. I don't know if you guys felt that

00:19:32.839 --> 00:19:34.619
at all. And certain ones do a little bit more

00:19:34.619 --> 00:19:36.880
damage than other. Yeah, you had to use like

00:19:36.880 --> 00:19:38.720
certain ones and certain bosses and stuff. Yeah.

00:19:39.039 --> 00:19:42.500
I don't know why because I think Mega Man X had

00:19:42.500 --> 00:19:45.000
come out at this point and had this. Why was

00:19:45.000 --> 00:19:47.559
there no way to change those forms with the L

00:19:47.559 --> 00:19:49.519
and R buttons? They're not used at all in this

00:19:49.519 --> 00:19:51.759
game. Why did they not map that to those to those

00:19:51.759 --> 00:19:54.660
buttons? Yeah, I'm not sure that they had no

00:19:54.660 --> 00:19:57.319
purpose. Yeah, it wasn't used for anything. They

00:19:57.319 --> 00:19:58.640
could have just made it to where you could change

00:19:58.640 --> 00:20:01.359
your power with those buttons. Like I said, I'm

00:20:01.359 --> 00:20:03.819
pretty sure Mega Man X did that. So, I don't

00:20:03.819 --> 00:20:06.400
know. That was a weird choice, I thought. Maybe

00:20:06.400 --> 00:20:09.559
they just didn't have the coding or knowledge

00:20:09.559 --> 00:20:12.859
or physical capability. Who knows? I'm sure there's

00:20:12.859 --> 00:20:16.599
a reason. It's just a weird choice. This is Capcom,

00:20:16.680 --> 00:20:17.799
though, so they should know. Yeah, it's the same

00:20:17.799 --> 00:20:19.779
company. That's what I'm saying, yeah. Yeah.

00:20:20.700 --> 00:20:22.750
Yeah, I don't know. Maybe they didn't want to,

00:20:22.769 --> 00:20:25.410
like, make animations or something to change

00:20:25.410 --> 00:20:27.390
from form to form. I don't know. Just swap the

00:20:27.390 --> 00:20:30.309
sprite out. That's all you gotta do. Yeah. Maybe

00:20:30.309 --> 00:20:31.869
because it was a different sprite and not just

00:20:31.869 --> 00:20:33.769
a palette swap. Maybe that's why. I don't know.

00:20:34.390 --> 00:20:36.349
Maybe. I don't know. I guess, too, because some

00:20:36.349 --> 00:20:38.049
of the forms have different powers, I guess,

00:20:38.150 --> 00:20:40.009
because, like, the one couldn't fly. So maybe

00:20:40.009 --> 00:20:42.329
that was one of the reasons why, too, but...

00:20:42.329 --> 00:20:45.029
Yeah. Who knows? I mean, it was an incredibly...

00:20:45.339 --> 00:20:48.039
No, it's just... Like a pain to change. Yeah,

00:20:48.119 --> 00:20:49.519
it's just one of those old school things that's

00:20:49.519 --> 00:20:51.180
just kind of annoying that we don't really have

00:20:51.180 --> 00:20:53.720
to deal with anymore. That's nice. Yeah. Because

00:20:53.720 --> 00:20:55.480
anytime you want to change a form or upgrade

00:20:55.480 --> 00:20:57.880
your power or whatever, you have to pause the

00:20:57.880 --> 00:21:00.420
game and select it and then unpause the game,

00:21:00.500 --> 00:21:02.539
which, like I said, it's not a big deal, but

00:21:02.539 --> 00:21:05.140
it can kind of interrupt the flow of the gameplay

00:21:05.140 --> 00:21:07.779
a little bit. Yeah. I mean, you don't really

00:21:07.779 --> 00:21:10.920
do it too often anyway, so... No, and that's

00:21:10.920 --> 00:21:13.480
one of the things is, like... You don't really,

00:21:13.660 --> 00:21:15.740
there's no really reason to use a bunch of the

00:21:15.740 --> 00:21:17.619
power -ups. Like, you use them one time to get

00:21:17.619 --> 00:21:19.140
through the section, and then you're just kind

00:21:19.140 --> 00:21:21.960
of back to the strongest shot that you have,

00:21:22.039 --> 00:21:25.720
you know. That's how I played a lot of the game

00:21:25.720 --> 00:21:28.160
anyway. One thing that I really like, though,

00:21:28.200 --> 00:21:31.059
is when you're, like, changing in between forms,

00:21:31.180 --> 00:21:35.400
it keeps you, like, where you were. Like, if

00:21:35.400 --> 00:21:37.839
you're flying, you stay flying. Oh, yeah, yeah,

00:21:37.859 --> 00:21:39.599
you don't, like, yeah, fall or whatever. Yeah,

00:21:39.619 --> 00:21:41.420
that was pretty cool. Yeah, I thought that was

00:21:41.420 --> 00:21:44.420
pretty nice. Yeah, and then there was some collectibles

00:21:44.420 --> 00:21:47.299
you had to find, too. There was Valums that you

00:21:47.299 --> 00:21:49.460
could put spells on, and then the bottles you

00:21:49.460 --> 00:21:52.460
could put potions in and stuff, which I don't

00:21:52.460 --> 00:21:55.279
think I even used a spell once in this game.

00:21:55.559 --> 00:21:57.920
Yeah, I don't even know what they do, honestly.

00:21:57.960 --> 00:22:01.420
Yeah. I didn't even look at them. And then I

00:22:01.420 --> 00:22:03.759
didn't use the potions at all until the final,

00:22:03.799 --> 00:22:05.420
that Dark Demon boss. That's the only time I

00:22:05.420 --> 00:22:10.200
used potions. Yep. Yeah. Which is probably why

00:22:10.200 --> 00:22:13.920
I thought this game was so hard, but... Honestly,

00:22:14.180 --> 00:22:16.819
this game really isn't that difficult. No, it's

00:22:16.819 --> 00:22:19.980
not too bad. It kind of reminds me of the Castlevania

00:22:19.980 --> 00:22:22.599
we played where going through the game is not

00:22:22.599 --> 00:22:24.220
hard. It's just figuring out the stupid bosses.

00:22:24.440 --> 00:22:27.099
The boss fights are tough. Dude, these bosses

00:22:27.099 --> 00:22:33.279
are like some of the most random generated bosses.

00:22:33.859 --> 00:22:36.460
Bullshit, yeah, for sure. It reminds me again

00:22:36.460 --> 00:22:39.730
where in Castlevania I said that... It feels

00:22:39.730 --> 00:22:41.210
like some of these bosses, you're just trying

00:22:41.210 --> 00:22:43.089
to do more damage to them faster than they are

00:22:43.089 --> 00:22:45.450
to you. There's no, like, strategy. You just

00:22:45.450 --> 00:22:48.829
hit them as fast as possible. Well, most games

00:22:48.829 --> 00:22:51.670
you can, like, cheese bosses, but they were pretty

00:22:51.670 --> 00:22:55.049
difficult to do in this game. Yeah. Well, and

00:22:55.049 --> 00:22:57.069
then a lot of things, too. A lot of bosses sometimes...

00:22:57.069 --> 00:23:00.509
Yeah. Well, they'll have, like, tells, you know?

00:23:00.549 --> 00:23:01.950
Like, they'll do something right before they're

00:23:01.950 --> 00:23:03.890
about to do their giant attack or something,

00:23:03.990 --> 00:23:05.490
you know? There wasn't a lot of that in this

00:23:05.490 --> 00:23:08.069
game. No. So you would just randomly be getting

00:23:08.069 --> 00:23:10.329
hits by crapping. You're like, dude, God damn

00:23:10.329 --> 00:23:12.150
it. And then they just get more and more tough

00:23:12.150 --> 00:23:15.569
because that frigging lava boss. Dude. Oh my

00:23:15.569 --> 00:23:19.170
God, bro. That is one of the hardest bosses that

00:23:19.170 --> 00:23:21.890
I've had to fight in a long time. Yeah. Yeah,

00:23:21.950 --> 00:23:23.569
for sure. Definitely one of the hardest on the

00:23:23.569 --> 00:23:25.589
SNES. Probably one of the hardest of all time.

00:23:25.750 --> 00:23:29.589
It's infuriating. So obviously there's going

00:23:29.589 --> 00:23:30.829
to be some spoilers when we talk about these

00:23:30.829 --> 00:23:34.089
games, but the final boss, Phalanx, if you find

00:23:34.089 --> 00:23:37.769
all of the pieces, actually, So this kind of

00:23:37.769 --> 00:23:40.730
annoyed me a little bit. You have to find all

00:23:40.730 --> 00:23:43.589
the pieces. There's five potion things. There's

00:23:43.589 --> 00:23:47.130
five spell things. And then there's five talismans,

00:23:47.130 --> 00:23:49.769
which the talismans give you like a quick upgrade.

00:23:49.970 --> 00:23:52.450
Like they make you take less damage. They make

00:23:52.450 --> 00:23:56.670
your weapon do more damage, which I didn't realize

00:23:56.670 --> 00:23:59.630
at first that those are not passive. I thought

00:23:59.630 --> 00:24:01.170
you just got them. You actually have to turn

00:24:01.170 --> 00:24:03.200
them on. Yeah, you gotta select them. I didn't

00:24:03.200 --> 00:24:04.579
realize that until I was almost done with the

00:24:04.579 --> 00:24:06.480
game. Again, same freaking thing that happened

00:24:06.480 --> 00:24:09.140
in Castlevania. So annoying. And you can only

00:24:09.140 --> 00:24:10.700
have one on at a time, which is kind of annoying,

00:24:10.799 --> 00:24:14.900
too. Yeah. Well, you beat so OP with all of them

00:24:14.900 --> 00:24:18.180
on. It's true, I guess. So, you have to get all

00:24:18.180 --> 00:24:21.980
the talismans, the potions, and the spells to

00:24:21.980 --> 00:24:25.160
get the good ending. But Retro Achievement doesn't

00:24:25.160 --> 00:24:27.039
give you the good ending unless you get all of

00:24:27.039 --> 00:24:29.059
the health upgrades, too, which is not required

00:24:29.059 --> 00:24:32.009
for the good ending. I'm not really sure why

00:24:32.009 --> 00:24:33.650
they did that. That was weird. I guess it's just

00:24:33.650 --> 00:24:35.650
for the password thing. I don't know. Oh, you

00:24:35.650 --> 00:24:37.970
can get the good ending without the health upgrade?

00:24:38.150 --> 00:24:39.410
Yeah, that's why I couldn't figure out what the

00:24:39.410 --> 00:24:41.509
fuck I was doing wrong, because I was getting

00:24:41.509 --> 00:24:44.549
the good ending. Oh, okay. But I didn't have

00:24:44.549 --> 00:24:46.250
all the health upgrades, so it doesn't give you

00:24:46.250 --> 00:24:49.470
the password. Yeah. So I guess they have it hooked

00:24:49.470 --> 00:24:51.930
up to the password, I guess? Yeah, it's probably

00:24:51.930 --> 00:24:53.849
password. Dude, that was annoying the shit out

00:24:53.849 --> 00:24:54.890
of me. Because that achievement doesn't pop up

00:24:54.890 --> 00:24:57.190
until pretty late. Well, I think they should

00:24:57.190 --> 00:24:59.769
fix that. I think it should be when you... get

00:24:59.769 --> 00:25:01.849
the good ending, not when you get the password.

00:25:02.750 --> 00:25:04.690
I didn't know you could get the good ending without

00:25:04.690 --> 00:25:07.809
getting everything. Well, I had everything except

00:25:07.809 --> 00:25:09.390
my health upgrades. It's the only thing I didn't

00:25:09.390 --> 00:25:12.349
have. Yeah. I still had all the other stuff,

00:25:12.410 --> 00:25:14.390
the potions and all that stuff. Which ones were...

00:25:14.390 --> 00:25:18.289
Were you just missing one or a couple? I think

00:25:18.289 --> 00:25:21.509
I was missing like four of them. Oh, okay. So...

00:25:21.509 --> 00:25:24.049
Yeah, it was just... I couldn't figure out what

00:25:24.049 --> 00:25:25.829
I was doing wrong. That was annoying the shit

00:25:25.829 --> 00:25:28.140
out of me. Yeah, so that's another thing, too.

00:25:28.180 --> 00:25:29.559
There's three different endings in this game,

00:25:29.660 --> 00:25:33.519
which, Jacob, you only got the bad ending. Technically,

00:25:33.519 --> 00:25:36.900
four. I guess so. A secret ending, I guess, yeah.

00:25:37.460 --> 00:25:39.079
What happened, Jacob? You just didn't want to

00:25:39.079 --> 00:25:40.519
look for stuff, or you couldn't figure it out,

00:25:40.640 --> 00:25:43.119
or what? Yeah, I don't know. I mean, I don't

00:25:43.119 --> 00:25:45.599
dislike this game. It just wasn't really my cup

00:25:45.599 --> 00:25:48.140
of tea. That's it. I just kind of got done with

00:25:48.140 --> 00:25:50.559
it, and I was like, okay. You just didn't feel

00:25:50.559 --> 00:25:53.480
the drive to continue on? Yeah, that's about

00:25:53.480 --> 00:25:56.789
it. Yeah, it's kind of... because i did the same

00:25:56.789 --> 00:25:59.170
thing too well not that but i i went to the phalanx

00:25:59.170 --> 00:26:02.049
boss kind of early i didn't realize you know

00:26:02.049 --> 00:26:03.450
that i wasn't supposed to fight him yet and i

00:26:03.450 --> 00:26:05.210
beat the game and i was like what what happened

00:26:05.210 --> 00:26:07.589
there i already beat this but then you gotta

00:26:07.589 --> 00:26:09.890
go the first time i got the bad ending yeah i

00:26:09.890 --> 00:26:13.069
didn't even realize what i did i tried going

00:26:13.069 --> 00:26:15.369
i thought i was going into that town level but

00:26:15.369 --> 00:26:17.549
i actually i guess i went to the boss level so

00:26:17.549 --> 00:26:23.009
i was like oh he shows up here oh and that you

00:26:23.009 --> 00:26:25.579
thought it was the town yeah Yeah, and I beat

00:26:25.579 --> 00:26:27.400
him. I'm like, oh, I didn't even know that was

00:26:27.400 --> 00:26:29.819
the end of the game. Yeah, that was a funny little

00:26:29.819 --> 00:26:31.339
thing. I'm not sure why they did it that way.

00:26:31.799 --> 00:26:33.960
I wonder how many people bought this game back

00:26:33.960 --> 00:26:36.640
in the day for whatever it was, 80 bucks, and

00:26:36.640 --> 00:26:38.599
then beat it like that, and they're like, okay.

00:26:39.180 --> 00:26:42.519
That was fun. I mean, you can literally do that

00:26:42.519 --> 00:26:45.259
in like 10 minutes. Yeah, I know. Unless you

00:26:45.259 --> 00:26:46.839
go back and start looking at everything again,

00:26:47.019 --> 00:26:50.089
which... Yeah. It has a little bit of a Metroidvania

00:26:50.089 --> 00:26:51.750
stuff to it, too, because there are parts of

00:26:51.750 --> 00:26:53.470
the maps that you have to go back to after you

00:26:53.470 --> 00:26:55.809
get upgrades, and then you can continue to new

00:26:55.809 --> 00:26:58.829
areas. There was a couple spots where I was like,

00:26:58.869 --> 00:27:01.369
where am I supposed to go? Yeah, that happened

00:27:01.369 --> 00:27:03.789
a few times, too. Especially that water level.

00:27:03.950 --> 00:27:05.990
That took me a minute to figure out. Yeah, that

00:27:05.990 --> 00:27:07.529
one's a pain in the butt. This game's not too

00:27:07.529 --> 00:27:09.890
bad, though, because you just need to go back

00:27:09.890 --> 00:27:11.490
and just kind of go over the level real quick.

00:27:11.869 --> 00:27:13.789
There's nothing that's super hidden or anything

00:27:13.789 --> 00:27:16.069
in this game. No, you just gotta kind of pay

00:27:16.069 --> 00:27:19.279
attention. A couple of the potion things or the

00:27:19.279 --> 00:27:22.619
spell things are a little bit hidden, but I wouldn't

00:27:22.619 --> 00:27:25.720
say anything too crazy in this game. No, not

00:27:25.720 --> 00:27:29.160
tremendously crazy. But yeah, like I said, I

00:27:29.160 --> 00:27:30.619
think most of the difficulty comes from the boss

00:27:30.619 --> 00:27:33.400
fights in this game. Honestly, they're not too

00:27:33.400 --> 00:27:36.119
bad. Once you start getting into the achievements

00:27:36.119 --> 00:27:39.940
and the no hits. Yeah, that's different. The

00:27:39.940 --> 00:27:43.880
no hits are tough on this one. Yeah, I bet. Some

00:27:43.880 --> 00:27:46.599
of those I had to go through, like, I don't know.

00:27:47.750 --> 00:27:51.410
40 or 50 freaking tries. Yeah, I know. Because

00:27:51.410 --> 00:27:53.390
again, these bosses just, like you said, they

00:27:53.390 --> 00:27:55.710
have no tell. I don't know how many times I died.

00:27:55.710 --> 00:27:57.210
It's just so random. I don't know how many times

00:27:57.210 --> 00:28:00.930
I died in that lava boss. Dude. It took me a

00:28:00.930 --> 00:28:02.730
couple hours the first time just to beat him.

00:28:03.150 --> 00:28:05.190
Yeah, I was trying to do that achievement where

00:28:05.190 --> 00:28:07.849
you don't use the potions and I gave up. Yeah,

00:28:07.849 --> 00:28:11.309
yeah. He was tough. Yeah. He was tough. I was

00:28:11.309 --> 00:28:14.690
getting so mad. Yeah, me too, bro. I almost broke

00:28:14.690 --> 00:28:18.359
my controller for sure. It was a pain in the

00:28:18.359 --> 00:28:21.220
ass. Yeah. Well, the game doesn't help either.

00:28:21.359 --> 00:28:24.019
The freaking slowdown. Yeah, there's a lot of

00:28:24.019 --> 00:28:28.039
slowdown. It's terrible. Yeah, this game lags

00:28:28.039 --> 00:28:31.839
a lot. Yeah. So the game's lagging and you're

00:28:31.839 --> 00:28:34.920
trying to put input, but it doesn't work. Yeah,

00:28:34.960 --> 00:28:36.700
there's definitely a couple of times I got dropped

00:28:36.700 --> 00:28:39.740
inputs for sure. The controls just fall apart

00:28:39.740 --> 00:28:43.480
on that last part. For a boss, it's already annoying.

00:28:43.599 --> 00:28:47.069
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Dude, there was times where

00:28:47.069 --> 00:28:52.289
I couldn't even move. Yeah, dude. Annoying. One

00:28:52.289 --> 00:28:56.130
wrong button placement or just one wrong lag

00:28:56.130 --> 00:28:58.670
and you get misplaced so bad. Yeah, and then

00:28:58.670 --> 00:29:00.809
that whole fight's over, yeah. One of the things,

00:29:00.809 --> 00:29:03.490
though, that does make this game much, much easier

00:29:03.490 --> 00:29:05.970
is that you can just continue on the screen.

00:29:06.009 --> 00:29:09.250
There's no life, so to speak. So if you die,

00:29:09.410 --> 00:29:11.569
you can just start over on that same screen that

00:29:11.569 --> 00:29:14.329
you were on. If it wasn't for that, I don't know

00:29:14.329 --> 00:29:16.009
that I would have beat this game, honestly. No.

00:29:16.089 --> 00:29:18.569
If I had to go through the freaking level like

00:29:18.569 --> 00:29:23.150
Crusader or Sancti. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. There's

00:29:23.150 --> 00:29:24.829
no way I probably would have done this. Yeah.

00:29:25.109 --> 00:29:27.670
Yeah. But since you start right before the boss,

00:29:27.829 --> 00:29:33.009
it's pretty easy to restart. It's not even a

00:29:33.009 --> 00:29:35.990
difficulty thing either. It's just a time thing.

00:29:36.250 --> 00:29:39.170
The levels really aren't that hard. They're actually

00:29:39.170 --> 00:29:41.990
pretty easy. Yeah, you can fly through them pretty

00:29:41.990 --> 00:29:45.490
easily. Yeah, the bosses are what makes this

00:29:45.490 --> 00:29:48.829
game hard. Really, nothing else does. The levels

00:29:48.829 --> 00:29:53.329
are just so easy. It's true, yeah. But the boss

00:29:53.329 --> 00:29:57.029
spikes, dude, it's a night and day difference.

00:29:57.450 --> 00:29:59.009
Yeah, they were pain in the ass. A couple of

00:29:59.009 --> 00:30:01.630
them were really tough. Yeah, I feel like there's

00:30:01.630 --> 00:30:04.109
not getting good at some of them. Like I said,

00:30:04.150 --> 00:30:05.730
some of them are luck -based, it seems like.

00:30:06.450 --> 00:30:11.009
Yeah, absolutely. dude gray one oh my god the

00:30:11.009 --> 00:30:14.130
first time i fought him yeah oh that dude was

00:30:14.130 --> 00:30:16.970
tough he's still tough uh you can choose him

00:30:16.970 --> 00:30:19.690
pretty easy now i figured that one out but yeah

00:30:19.690 --> 00:30:22.230
he's still tough yeah and then let's see what

00:30:22.230 --> 00:30:27.230
else uh so this game has um it's like i said

00:30:27.230 --> 00:30:29.910
it's pretty tough but you can also you know you

00:30:29.910 --> 00:30:31.609
have the continues in the staging and then you

00:30:31.609 --> 00:30:33.809
can also use it it has a password system as well

00:30:33.809 --> 00:30:36.470
so anytime you get collect something or beat

00:30:36.470 --> 00:30:38.940
something you can uh Put in the password. The

00:30:38.940 --> 00:30:40.539
password's not too bad for this game. Some of

00:30:40.539 --> 00:30:42.279
those old games with their passwords are a pain

00:30:42.279 --> 00:30:44.319
in the butt, dude. This one's actually pretty

00:30:44.319 --> 00:30:46.759
straightforward and pretty easy. The only thing

00:30:46.759 --> 00:30:48.559
that sucks about that is that if you want to

00:30:48.559 --> 00:30:51.339
get the password, you have to die and end the

00:30:51.339 --> 00:30:54.240
game. Yeah, you have to end the game. Yeah, that

00:30:54.240 --> 00:30:57.500
part's annoying. You can't just get it and then

00:30:57.500 --> 00:30:58.980
go back to playing. You have to end the game,

00:30:59.180 --> 00:31:01.539
write it down, and then restart the game. Luckily,

00:31:01.640 --> 00:31:03.220
when you restart it right away, it keeps that

00:31:03.220 --> 00:31:04.579
password in there, so you don't have to enter

00:31:04.579 --> 00:31:05.599
it every time. Yeah, the password is in there.

00:31:06.829 --> 00:31:08.650
So technically you just have to go through the

00:31:08.650 --> 00:31:13.490
level again. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So it's not too

00:31:13.490 --> 00:31:16.410
bad. No, it's not the worst. It's definitely

00:31:16.410 --> 00:31:18.950
not the worst. But it does suck when you try

00:31:18.950 --> 00:31:20.789
to take a picture of it and the picture's all

00:31:20.789 --> 00:31:23.109
blurry. I don't know what you did with that.

00:31:23.650 --> 00:31:25.970
That's modern problems. You didn't have that

00:31:25.970 --> 00:31:28.150
problem back then. Don't you look at your pictures

00:31:28.150 --> 00:31:32.190
before you... Dude, I was on the last boss. It

00:31:32.190 --> 00:31:34.289
was like 2 o 'clock in the morning. I was so

00:31:34.289 --> 00:31:36.900
frustrated. Bro, you should have seen the picture

00:31:36.900 --> 00:31:38.720
he sent me. I couldn't even see. Oh, I've seen

00:31:38.720 --> 00:31:40.420
it. I couldn't even see the letters. He showed

00:31:40.420 --> 00:31:43.460
it to me. Yeah. I've seen it. Dude, I was so...

00:31:43.460 --> 00:31:45.220
And that, of course, that's the good ending when

00:31:45.220 --> 00:31:48.079
I had to collect everything. Yeah. And I couldn't

00:31:48.079 --> 00:31:53.579
continue off from there. Oh, I was so mad. When

00:31:53.579 --> 00:31:55.619
I went to go back and look at it, my heart sank.

00:31:55.799 --> 00:32:00.279
Yeah, I bet. I bet. Well, my phone... Yeah, whatever.

00:32:00.420 --> 00:32:04.000
I don't want to get into it. Yeah. Yeah. Because

00:32:04.000 --> 00:32:06.160
that's another 15 minute rant right there. Yeah.

00:32:06.400 --> 00:32:11.940
Yeah. Yeah. We only have one rant per episode.

00:32:12.160 --> 00:32:15.799
Yeah. Yeah. Ryan already took that one. Yeah.

00:32:15.799 --> 00:32:19.000
He already took it right off the bat there. I

00:32:19.000 --> 00:32:21.940
had to. The sprite work in this game is awesome,

00:32:22.059 --> 00:32:25.000
dude. The sprites look good. The enemies are

00:32:25.000 --> 00:32:27.819
cool. The backgrounds were freaking awesome,

00:32:27.960 --> 00:32:29.019
bro. Some of those backgrounds. Yeah, they were

00:32:29.019 --> 00:32:30.759
awesome. The images back there were so cool.

00:32:31.299 --> 00:32:34.420
Super vibrant, super colorful. Yeah, just cool

00:32:34.420 --> 00:32:36.059
imagery. Everything looked awesome. The first

00:32:36.059 --> 00:32:39.220
level has that giant demon statue in the background.

00:32:39.359 --> 00:32:42.500
That was so cool. There's the dragon thing in

00:32:42.500 --> 00:32:44.460
the underwater one. Wasn't there a dragon statue

00:32:44.460 --> 00:32:47.339
or something under there? That was cool. Yeah,

00:32:47.339 --> 00:32:50.160
yeah. Which I hate that level. Yeah, but I think

00:32:50.160 --> 00:32:51.660
that's part of why there's so much slowdown.

00:32:51.779 --> 00:32:54.240
There's just so much stuff on the screen. The

00:32:54.240 --> 00:32:58.160
game's having a bit of trouble keeping up. Yeah.

00:32:58.960 --> 00:33:01.099
Everything's like... nice too i think that's

00:33:01.099 --> 00:33:03.339
the problem yeah it's kind of a give and take

00:33:03.339 --> 00:33:06.240
in those old games graphically like this game

00:33:06.240 --> 00:33:10.119
is so so good looking yeah it looks great yeah

00:33:10.119 --> 00:33:12.900
it also uses the mode 7 which is cool for the

00:33:12.900 --> 00:33:14.940
map when you're like flying around so there's

00:33:14.940 --> 00:33:18.359
also stages um you pick a stage and then you

00:33:18.359 --> 00:33:21.099
know uh the the map that you go to when you pick

00:33:21.099 --> 00:33:23.980
a stage is uh It's similar to, like, Final Fantasy.

00:33:24.059 --> 00:33:25.779
It's just a world map, and then you can fly around

00:33:25.779 --> 00:33:28.039
it, and then you can, like, dive down onto levels

00:33:28.039 --> 00:33:29.460
and stuff and everything. But it uses, like,

00:33:29.519 --> 00:33:31.359
a mode 7, which is pretty cool. You just fly

00:33:31.359 --> 00:33:34.259
over. Which is a pain in the ass sometimes, because,

00:33:34.319 --> 00:33:37.839
like, you have to, like, fly down into it, but

00:33:37.839 --> 00:33:39.539
you, like, go at, like, a diagonal. Yeah, sometimes

00:33:39.539 --> 00:33:41.559
you miss. Yeah, so you have to be, like, behind

00:33:41.559 --> 00:33:44.799
it because you go forward and down. Yeah, it's

00:33:44.799 --> 00:33:49.660
weird. I kept not going into it. It's so weird.

00:33:49.819 --> 00:33:51.339
And then you're, like, spinning it around and,

00:33:51.400 --> 00:33:53.160
like, trying to line it up. It takes a second

00:33:53.160 --> 00:33:56.400
to get used to, yeah. It kind of reminds me of,

00:33:56.480 --> 00:33:58.859
like, the Act Racer when you, like, go into the

00:33:58.859 --> 00:34:01.519
level, like, spins and... Yeah, that's Mode 7

00:34:01.519 --> 00:34:04.380
too, yeah. Yeah. That one gets you dizzy, bro,

00:34:04.440 --> 00:34:08.099
if you stare at that too much. Yeah. Yeah, and

00:34:08.099 --> 00:34:11.099
then there's a couple little minigames on there

00:34:11.099 --> 00:34:13.119
too to find as well. So they had the levels and

00:34:13.119 --> 00:34:16.099
then they had the minigame, which, man, that

00:34:16.099 --> 00:34:18.829
thing was a pain in the ass. Yeah. We have to

00:34:18.829 --> 00:34:21.650
crack skulls. So there's a mini game where you

00:34:21.650 --> 00:34:23.590
have to, there's these skulls that pop out of

00:34:23.590 --> 00:34:26.309
the wall and you do this attack up against them.

00:34:26.690 --> 00:34:29.349
Um, but you have to jump and attack and there's

00:34:29.349 --> 00:34:32.409
like this, such this weird delay on the way he

00:34:32.409 --> 00:34:34.829
jumps and then attacks that it gets, it's really

00:34:34.829 --> 00:34:36.730
challenging. It's really annoying. It's like

00:34:36.730 --> 00:34:39.210
whack -a -mole, but kind of, but like up against

00:34:39.210 --> 00:34:42.929
the wall. Yeah. But it's just the way that, cause

00:34:42.929 --> 00:34:45.019
there's, You jump and then do the attack, but

00:34:45.019 --> 00:34:47.400
sometimes depending on how high you jump is how

00:34:47.400 --> 00:34:50.800
quick he does. It's just weird. Yeah. It takes

00:34:50.800 --> 00:34:54.099
some getting used to. And that last one is tough.

00:34:54.280 --> 00:34:57.460
It's tough. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It is hard. It

00:34:57.460 --> 00:34:59.239
took me a couple of tries to get that one. I've

00:34:59.239 --> 00:35:01.860
learned that the second row from the bottom was

00:35:01.860 --> 00:35:03.840
the hardest one for me. So I just tried to avoid

00:35:03.840 --> 00:35:05.780
those ones as much as possible. Yeah. Yeah. There

00:35:05.780 --> 00:35:08.710
was. There was someone that I just didn't even

00:35:08.710 --> 00:35:10.969
try. Yeah, like the first row and the top row

00:35:10.969 --> 00:35:12.909
were easy, and then the third row was not too

00:35:12.909 --> 00:35:16.449
bad, but that second row, dude, Jesus. I got

00:35:16.449 --> 00:35:20.550
lucky on the one that I got. It's just RNG, but

00:35:20.550 --> 00:35:24.710
there was like 10 that just showed up on the

00:35:24.710 --> 00:35:26.750
bottom row. Yeah, that's definitely part of it.

00:35:27.329 --> 00:35:30.550
Did you do any of those, Jacob? Did you play

00:35:30.550 --> 00:35:34.750
that minigame at all? No. I didn't want to spend

00:35:34.750 --> 00:35:37.849
money. Bro, you didn't even play this game at

00:35:37.849 --> 00:35:39.969
all. Yeah, I know. You played like five minutes

00:35:39.969 --> 00:35:43.389
of this game. You were too busy reading your

00:35:43.389 --> 00:35:46.050
lost away books or whatever they were. Books

00:35:46.050 --> 00:35:49.389
of elsewhere. Yeah. Yeah, you were elsewhere.

00:35:49.849 --> 00:35:54.730
Yeah. We said there were different endings. So

00:35:54.730 --> 00:35:57.170
the first ending, you don't really find anything.

00:35:57.369 --> 00:35:58.989
You just kind of go straight to, you can kind

00:35:58.989 --> 00:36:00.489
of just go straight to the boss and then you

00:36:00.489 --> 00:36:03.070
fight him. And then he just, what? I don't remember

00:36:03.070 --> 00:36:05.219
what happens. He just kind of. You just kind

00:36:05.219 --> 00:36:07.840
of leave, right? Doesn't he just kind of disappear

00:36:07.840 --> 00:36:11.139
and you just leave? After the first boss? Yeah,

00:36:11.260 --> 00:36:13.980
on the bad ending. Oh, on the bad ending? Yeah.

00:36:14.079 --> 00:36:17.800
I think he just accepts defeat and you just win.

00:36:18.000 --> 00:36:20.659
I think that's really it. But you don't get any

00:36:20.659 --> 00:36:22.239
of his crest or anything, right? I think he just

00:36:22.239 --> 00:36:24.980
kind of... I think he said something about he

00:36:24.980 --> 00:36:27.760
didn't have enough power to use the crest. Oh,

00:36:27.820 --> 00:36:31.170
something like that. Like, he wasn't worthy of

00:36:31.170 --> 00:36:32.949
using it? Oh, something like that, that's right.

00:36:33.050 --> 00:36:34.250
And then you could just kind of fly away. So

00:36:34.250 --> 00:36:35.769
I think it, like, flew away? Yeah. Because I

00:36:35.769 --> 00:36:37.349
think it flew away from you, so you couldn't

00:36:37.349 --> 00:36:41.250
even get it. Yeah, okay. Oh, okay, yeah. Yeah,

00:36:41.389 --> 00:36:43.269
because you have to have all of them to get that

00:36:43.269 --> 00:36:46.829
last one. Yeah, so you can go back and find all

00:36:46.829 --> 00:36:48.590
of the crests. So if you find all the crests

00:36:48.590 --> 00:36:50.190
without finding all the other collectibles, you

00:36:50.190 --> 00:36:53.050
get the normal ending, which you defeat Phalanx,

00:36:53.170 --> 00:36:56.489
but this time he disappears into another dimension

00:36:56.489 --> 00:36:59.260
or something. He kind of protects himself. So

00:36:59.260 --> 00:37:02.059
you don't actually defeat him, but then you just

00:37:02.059 --> 00:37:05.119
kind of, again, just kind of fly off. And then

00:37:05.119 --> 00:37:09.920
on the good ending, that's after you find everything,

00:37:10.079 --> 00:37:12.800
not all the health power -ups, which we have

00:37:12.800 --> 00:37:18.099
learned. You can get the good ending, which you

00:37:18.099 --> 00:37:21.500
defeat him. He turns into his annoying final

00:37:21.500 --> 00:37:23.980
boss form, and you defeat that. And then that's

00:37:23.980 --> 00:37:26.889
when you're like... These crests are too powerful

00:37:26.889 --> 00:37:29.170
and you just kind of throw them back in the ground.

00:37:30.030 --> 00:37:32.570
Yeah, they fall from the sky. Yeah, exactly.

00:37:32.889 --> 00:37:37.150
What a crazy game, bro. The story is just so

00:37:37.150 --> 00:37:40.510
stupid. They fall from the sky, you get them.

00:37:40.670 --> 00:37:43.650
Yeah, it's just like the circular thing. That's

00:37:43.650 --> 00:37:48.789
true. He just throws them back down so now there's

00:37:48.789 --> 00:37:51.190
probably some human that found them. yeah it

00:37:51.190 --> 00:37:53.929
just doesn't make any sense and then yeah and

00:37:53.929 --> 00:37:57.170
then he's like he flies away but then so if you

00:37:57.170 --> 00:38:00.090
do have all the health upgrades you get the password

00:38:00.090 --> 00:38:04.030
and you get a new you get the time uh crest that

00:38:04.030 --> 00:38:06.989
phalanx had that you can use now which basically

00:38:06.989 --> 00:38:09.150
just gives you all the powers in one which is

00:38:09.150 --> 00:38:13.230
pretty cool you can fly swim uh and then uh slide

00:38:13.230 --> 00:38:16.710
yeah slide as well which yeah which is a combination

00:38:16.710 --> 00:38:19.969
of all the other crests at the same time And

00:38:19.969 --> 00:38:22.590
then you also get to go and fight the secret

00:38:22.590 --> 00:38:25.969
boss, which is the dark demon. And he is a pain

00:38:25.969 --> 00:38:29.989
in the ass as well. Yeah, he's tough. Yeah. I

00:38:29.989 --> 00:38:33.769
don't know. Eric, you said, well, there's an

00:38:33.769 --> 00:38:35.949
achievement to beat him without using any potions

00:38:35.949 --> 00:38:37.929
or any ginseng potions, which gives you full

00:38:37.929 --> 00:38:41.050
health. I wonder if you could even beat him without

00:38:41.050 --> 00:38:45.150
the potions. Somebody has. I'm sure somebody

00:38:45.150 --> 00:38:49.719
has, yeah. But not me. Yeah, dude. I could not

00:38:49.719 --> 00:38:51.820
beat that boss without the ginsengs. That was

00:38:51.820 --> 00:38:54.380
so tough. I tried so hard. Yeah, dude. That was

00:38:54.380 --> 00:38:57.519
crazy. That boss fight's tough. But then I watched,

00:38:57.619 --> 00:38:59.380
somebody posted a video on that achievement.

00:38:59.699 --> 00:39:02.599
Yeah. And I was watching it, and he started using

00:39:02.599 --> 00:39:05.519
a potion. I'm like, what? Yeah, yeah, yeah. So

00:39:05.519 --> 00:39:08.559
I went back and I read the thing, and I'm like,

00:39:08.639 --> 00:39:11.679
oh. Yeah, yeah, that makes sense. Okay. So it

00:39:11.679 --> 00:39:13.659
makes it a little bit easier. It's still a tough

00:39:13.659 --> 00:39:16.239
achievement. It is, yeah. Because this boss has

00:39:16.239 --> 00:39:18.500
two modes. He has a flying around mode. Where

00:39:18.500 --> 00:39:20.420
he's just throwing sickles at you and that annoying,

00:39:20.559 --> 00:39:23.260
stupid thing that follows you around. The other

00:39:23.260 --> 00:39:25.139
boss had that too, the Phalanx third form. He

00:39:25.139 --> 00:39:26.659
had those stupid things. If it wasn't for those

00:39:26.659 --> 00:39:28.639
things, I don't think those bosses would be that

00:39:28.639 --> 00:39:31.219
bad. No, those things are such a pain in the

00:39:31.219 --> 00:39:33.800
ass. Stupid orbs follow you around all over the

00:39:33.800 --> 00:39:35.559
screen and they're annoying to kill and they're

00:39:35.559 --> 00:39:39.000
so fast and they make the bosses so hard. If

00:39:39.000 --> 00:39:40.739
it wasn't for those things, those bosses would

00:39:40.739 --> 00:39:43.800
be nowhere near as bad. Luckily, they only do

00:39:43.800 --> 00:39:45.760
like... Yeah, they don't do much damage, but

00:39:45.760 --> 00:39:47.880
they mess your flow up, so you can't friggin'

00:39:47.880 --> 00:39:49.599
attack anything. That's the annoying part. You

00:39:49.599 --> 00:39:51.159
gotta kind of, like, use them to your advantage.

00:39:51.519 --> 00:39:54.059
Yeah. Like, if you're about to get hit by him,

00:39:54.139 --> 00:39:56.440
try to get hit by that thing so you don't take

00:39:56.440 --> 00:39:58.800
as much damage. Yeah, I guess so, yeah. So...

00:39:58.800 --> 00:40:01.019
But... Because you have, like, a little window

00:40:01.019 --> 00:40:04.260
where you don't take any damage. And then he

00:40:04.260 --> 00:40:07.019
has a second form where, um... He just kind of

00:40:07.019 --> 00:40:09.800
throws sickles all over the place. And it's so

00:40:09.800 --> 00:40:11.719
hard to get away from him. And then he's slowly

00:40:11.719 --> 00:40:15.440
turning the floor into spikes. So if you take

00:40:15.440 --> 00:40:17.280
too long in the boss fight, then you won't even

00:40:17.280 --> 00:40:20.400
be able to touch anything. It's so annoying.

00:40:21.179 --> 00:40:23.900
It's tough, dude. That was a tough battle. But

00:40:23.900 --> 00:40:25.800
eventually, if you beat him, you get another

00:40:25.800 --> 00:40:28.599
ending where... I don't even remember what happens.

00:40:28.639 --> 00:40:31.320
You do basically the same exact thing. You throw

00:40:31.320 --> 00:40:34.139
the crest away. And then you're like, I'm going

00:40:34.139 --> 00:40:35.880
to go find other demons to fight or something.

00:40:36.429 --> 00:40:37.909
I can't remember. Yeah. You're going to like

00:40:37.909 --> 00:40:40.889
find somebody worthy of your power or something

00:40:40.889 --> 00:40:43.550
without the power. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know.

00:40:43.650 --> 00:40:45.809
Weird endings. Weird endings in this game. The

00:40:45.809 --> 00:40:47.989
good ending and like the secret ending are pretty

00:40:47.989 --> 00:40:49.409
much the same thing. Yeah. They're pretty much

00:40:49.409 --> 00:40:51.210
the same thing. I think it's just a secret one.

00:40:51.269 --> 00:40:55.210
You just become fucking arrogant. Yeah. That's

00:40:55.210 --> 00:40:57.550
it. You just want to fight somebody stronger

00:40:57.550 --> 00:41:00.050
and now you have an inflated ego. I mean, he's

00:41:00.050 --> 00:41:03.329
a demon, so it makes sense. Yeah, that's true.

00:41:03.730 --> 00:41:06.630
But yeah, that was. That was pretty cool, though,

00:41:06.670 --> 00:41:09.849
that they added an extra boss fight in there

00:41:09.849 --> 00:41:11.650
at the end. They kind of like, oh, you beat the

00:41:11.650 --> 00:41:14.389
game? Well, here's an extra mode. Here's a new

00:41:14.389 --> 00:41:16.289
power -up, and then here's a new boss for you

00:41:16.289 --> 00:41:18.289
to fight, which I thought was pretty cool. And

00:41:18.289 --> 00:41:21.929
then I read that there's a boss rush mode or

00:41:21.929 --> 00:41:23.550
something for one of the passwords. I didn't

00:41:23.550 --> 00:41:26.090
try it, so I don't know how that worked at all.

00:41:26.289 --> 00:41:28.150
Yeah, I didn't look into the passwords too much

00:41:28.150 --> 00:41:29.469
for this one, because I think there's a couple

00:41:29.469 --> 00:41:32.760
cheats and stuff. Yeah, yep. but there's like

00:41:32.760 --> 00:41:34.840
a bosh rush as well i wonder if that gives you

00:41:34.840 --> 00:41:37.280
anything probably not but just the satisfaction

00:41:37.280 --> 00:41:40.280
of being good at this game yeah all right so

00:41:40.280 --> 00:41:42.219
we've tucked on we touched on graphics a little

00:41:42.219 --> 00:41:44.679
bit uh it's it looks pretty good this game look

00:41:44.679 --> 00:41:47.119
pretty dope true yeah the sprite works pretty

00:41:47.119 --> 00:41:48.880
cool i like the enemies some cool enemies in

00:41:48.880 --> 00:41:51.579
here like i said i like how each each uh crest

00:41:51.579 --> 00:41:54.760
you get like a new it's not just a color swap

00:41:54.760 --> 00:41:57.679
it's a whole new uh sprite for the for the character

00:41:57.679 --> 00:41:59.360
which is pretty cool which they were all pretty

00:41:59.360 --> 00:42:01.659
sick looking too Yeah, they were dope looking.

00:42:01.880 --> 00:42:06.360
Yeah. And they corresponded pretty good with

00:42:06.360 --> 00:42:10.840
what power they gave you. Yeah, true. Like the

00:42:10.840 --> 00:42:13.139
flying one, you get those big wings. Yeah, you

00:42:13.139 --> 00:42:17.000
look like a bird. Yeah. Big bird. With the swimming

00:42:17.000 --> 00:42:19.019
one, you look like the monster from the Black

00:42:19.019 --> 00:42:23.260
Lagoon. Yeah. The swamp monster. The swamp monster.

00:42:23.599 --> 00:42:29.190
He in the swamp now. 350. That's a Loch Ness

00:42:29.190 --> 00:42:30.630
monster. Yeah, that's a Loch Ness. About 350.

00:42:32.570 --> 00:42:37.130
The swamp monster just want onions. What does

00:42:37.130 --> 00:42:38.949
he want with those? Isn't that what Shrek wants?

00:42:39.750 --> 00:42:44.130
Oh. Anyway. So yeah, pretty good looking game.

00:42:44.210 --> 00:42:46.929
I think we talked about that enough. So let's

00:42:46.929 --> 00:42:49.050
talk about the sound. The soundtrack was pretty

00:42:49.050 --> 00:42:51.110
good. I mean, it's just kind of like an orchestral,

00:42:51.329 --> 00:42:55.030
moody soundtrack. Nothing really stuck out to

00:42:55.030 --> 00:42:57.329
me too much. I don't know if you guys heard anything.

00:42:57.900 --> 00:43:00.239
yeah i didn't pay much attention to it honestly

00:43:00.239 --> 00:43:04.079
yeah really this this soundtrack is more of a

00:43:04.079 --> 00:43:06.820
like i mean that's what it is but it sounds like

00:43:06.820 --> 00:43:08.940
background music to me yeah it's definitely just

00:43:08.940 --> 00:43:11.239
more background music doesn't really add much

00:43:11.239 --> 00:43:14.119
to the game yeah i mean it's good it fits with

00:43:14.119 --> 00:43:16.239
it it's moody you know it's got that yeah exactly

00:43:16.239 --> 00:43:19.300
yeah it fits the vibe for the for the game definitely

00:43:19.300 --> 00:43:22.280
yeah it didn't really stick out but i mean it

00:43:22.280 --> 00:43:25.880
did its job so yeah yeah but you weren't gonna

00:43:25.880 --> 00:43:28.590
be like jamming out to this stuff. Yeah, I don't

00:43:28.590 --> 00:43:30.070
know if this one's going to be added to my playlist

00:43:30.070 --> 00:43:33.809
or not. Yeah. Yeah, and then sound effects were

00:43:33.809 --> 00:43:35.789
pretty good. Everything sounded pretty cool.

00:43:36.090 --> 00:43:38.829
This ain't no Mega Man 2. No, it's not. It's

00:43:38.829 --> 00:43:41.610
not. Dude, there's very few games that are Mega

00:43:41.610 --> 00:43:44.369
Man 2. Yeah. There's very few games that are

00:43:44.369 --> 00:43:48.150
Mega Man 2. Mega Man 6. Yeah, those are the two

00:43:48.150 --> 00:43:51.860
good ones. All right. Yeah. Not much. Not much

00:43:51.860 --> 00:43:53.800
to really say about the sound. No, it's good.

00:43:54.300 --> 00:43:57.880
Nothing crazy, but it's good. It fits. I will

00:43:57.880 --> 00:44:00.719
say, dude, I don't know what it is, but that

00:44:00.719 --> 00:44:04.219
Capcom jingle at the beginning of the game, bro,

00:44:04.300 --> 00:44:06.059
that does something to me. I don't know what

00:44:06.059 --> 00:44:09.960
it is. That's like the PS1 boot up for me. Yeah,

00:44:09.960 --> 00:44:11.699
yeah, yeah. Which is funny because I didn't really

00:44:11.699 --> 00:44:13.559
play that many Capcom games when I was younger,

00:44:13.599 --> 00:44:16.610
but I don't know, man. It's just such a... I

00:44:16.610 --> 00:44:18.849
think it's because it's just such a Super Nintendo

00:44:18.849 --> 00:44:22.429
sound. It's just such a representation of that

00:44:22.429 --> 00:44:26.030
system's sound chip. It just, I don't know, gives

00:44:26.030 --> 00:44:33.730
me feels, bro. Understandable. Alright, that's

00:44:33.730 --> 00:44:35.510
pretty much Demon's Crest there, so let's go

00:44:35.510 --> 00:44:37.590
ahead and jump over to the achievements, because

00:44:37.590 --> 00:44:38.909
we like talking about the achievements here,

00:44:39.010 --> 00:44:41.190
which we've done a little bit of. Have you guys

00:44:41.190 --> 00:44:45.010
mastered this game yet? Nah. Nope. Yeah, I haven't

00:44:45.010 --> 00:44:48.849
either. uh eric you're pretty close right i only

00:44:48.849 --> 00:44:53.070
got three left they're just like extremely time

00:44:53.070 --> 00:44:57.869
consuming yeah yeah and well for me to fucking

00:44:57.869 --> 00:45:00.590
play video games uninterrupted for 10 minutes

00:45:00.590 --> 00:45:04.650
is difficult so for me to do that what two hours

00:45:04.650 --> 00:45:07.070
yeah well that's what you have your pocket for

00:45:07.070 --> 00:45:12.090
right put it to sleep or whatever yeah i I don't

00:45:12.090 --> 00:45:15.389
trust the achievements to stay connected, dude.

00:45:15.550 --> 00:45:18.170
I get so worried. I guess so. You got to keep

00:45:18.170 --> 00:45:21.750
that momentum, too. Yeah, true that. These achievements

00:45:21.750 --> 00:45:25.869
gave me Castlevania vibes, although not as ridiculous

00:45:25.869 --> 00:45:30.989
as those ones. No, not really. Some of them are

00:45:30.989 --> 00:45:33.610
kind of crazy. Yeah, they're similar. Don't get

00:45:33.610 --> 00:45:37.239
hit. Not way out there, though. No, not as bad

00:45:37.239 --> 00:45:39.139
as Castlevania. Plus, this game is way, way,

00:45:39.159 --> 00:45:42.159
way shorter, so it's much more doable. Yeah,

00:45:42.239 --> 00:45:46.480
just a lot more straightforward, too. I just...

00:45:46.480 --> 00:45:50.940
I don't know if anybody else thinks the same

00:45:50.940 --> 00:45:55.940
way, but I hate achievements that did no hit

00:45:55.940 --> 00:45:58.519
for bosses. I hate when they do that when it's

00:45:58.519 --> 00:46:03.239
mostly RNG -based. I think that's just a stupid...

00:46:03.789 --> 00:46:06.730
concept for an achievement because that's not

00:46:06.730 --> 00:46:11.250
really being skillful you know yeah because you

00:46:11.250 --> 00:46:14.510
can get really lucky on a boss fight and get

00:46:14.510 --> 00:46:18.190
an achievement for not getting hit but then you

00:46:18.190 --> 00:46:20.250
can get really unlucky and work your ass off

00:46:20.250 --> 00:46:23.329
and still get that same achievement so yeah yeah

00:46:23.329 --> 00:46:25.929
but the good gamer can deal with that bro yeah

00:46:25.929 --> 00:46:28.079
that's the thing like i I don't have a problem

00:46:28.079 --> 00:46:30.380
with no hits. It just takes time. You have to

00:46:30.380 --> 00:46:33.980
learn. I don't either. For bosses like this game,

00:46:33.980 --> 00:46:36.920
though, where everything is always different

00:46:36.920 --> 00:46:40.400
and it's just RNG bullshit, I don't think that's

00:46:40.400 --> 00:46:43.460
a test of skill. I think that's just you either

00:46:43.460 --> 00:46:46.519
getting lucky or, on the other hand, it could

00:46:46.519 --> 00:46:48.659
be you're really good at this game and you just

00:46:48.659 --> 00:46:51.579
can take whatever's thrown at you. It's one hand

00:46:51.579 --> 00:46:54.250
or the other. Yeah, I mean, it's just a little

00:46:54.250 --> 00:46:55.929
bit of both. How well can you handle the RNG,

00:46:56.050 --> 00:46:59.909
and do you get good RNG? That's what it is. There's

00:46:59.909 --> 00:47:02.150
only two bosses that I really had problems with.

00:47:02.869 --> 00:47:05.269
Yeah, those last two. Flamelord is a pain in

00:47:05.269 --> 00:47:08.750
the ass. Yeah. I hate when he shoots the little

00:47:08.750 --> 00:47:11.989
fireballs down. When he shoots the fireballs

00:47:11.989 --> 00:47:16.010
down, dude, I could not avoid that. Yeah. Yeah,

00:47:16.269 --> 00:47:19.510
he was a pain. But every other attack was just

00:47:19.510 --> 00:47:22.579
a joke. Yeah, yeah, I'm just saying. That's the

00:47:22.579 --> 00:47:25.039
thing, though. I know we talked a little bit

00:47:25.039 --> 00:47:26.980
about it earlier, but that's why they call it

00:47:26.980 --> 00:47:28.840
mastering the game, though. You know what I mean?

00:47:28.840 --> 00:47:31.579
Yeah, true. They're not just going to give these

00:47:31.579 --> 00:47:34.079
away. Yeah, no, and I completely understand that.

00:47:34.119 --> 00:47:36.440
I'm not looking for just free achievements or

00:47:36.440 --> 00:47:40.699
free points or something, but I don't know. No,

00:47:41.079 --> 00:47:43.079
he was complaining about the ridiculousness of

00:47:43.079 --> 00:47:44.619
this game, which I get. I thought you already

00:47:44.619 --> 00:47:47.400
had a rant earlier. Yeah, no, that wasn't a rant.

00:47:47.440 --> 00:47:49.550
That was just a complaint. It's an unpopular

00:47:49.550 --> 00:47:52.389
opinion. Yeah, yeah. But I don't know. If boss

00:47:52.389 --> 00:47:55.690
fights just have just a little too much RNG,

00:47:55.809 --> 00:47:59.409
I don't think that's mastering it, in my opinion.

00:47:59.690 --> 00:48:01.690
I mean, you have to be good at this game to get

00:48:01.690 --> 00:48:06.510
to no hits, for sure. Yeah. I don't know. That's

00:48:06.510 --> 00:48:08.429
where this game's difficulty comes from, is the

00:48:08.429 --> 00:48:11.050
no hits. Yeah. Yeah. Because you can run through

00:48:11.050 --> 00:48:14.269
these bosses no problem and get hit, but man.

00:48:14.369 --> 00:48:16.190
Especially if you have the potions and stuff,

00:48:16.250 --> 00:48:19.610
too. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Which you can't use magic.

00:48:20.889 --> 00:48:22.769
No, I'm just saying if you're not worried about

00:48:22.769 --> 00:48:24.130
the achievements, that makes the game even easier.

00:48:24.750 --> 00:48:28.550
Oh, yeah. Like I said, I don't think this game's

00:48:28.550 --> 00:48:30.650
actually... I don't think this game's really

00:48:30.650 --> 00:48:32.949
that difficult. No, it's not. It's not that bad.

00:48:33.550 --> 00:48:36.369
Like you said, you just have to put some time

00:48:36.369 --> 00:48:38.110
into it, really, and then this game becomes pretty

00:48:38.110 --> 00:48:42.989
easy. Yeah. The only really big spike is the

00:48:42.989 --> 00:48:46.710
bosses. That's it. Yeah. The level is so easy.

00:48:47.030 --> 00:48:48.309
Your first playthrough of this game, you're going

00:48:48.309 --> 00:48:50.929
to struggle for sure. It's funny because I think

00:48:50.929 --> 00:48:54.829
the two strongest people in this game, besides

00:48:54.829 --> 00:48:59.510
the last form of Phalanx, they are a joke. Arma

00:48:59.510 --> 00:49:02.489
and Phalanx's first form are... Oh, yeah. They

00:49:02.489 --> 00:49:05.030
are the easiest people in this game. Yeah, once

00:49:05.030 --> 00:49:06.510
you learn that pattern, yeah, and it's a pretty

00:49:06.510 --> 00:49:09.139
easy pattern. Yeah. Yeah. That's what I'm saying.

00:49:09.179 --> 00:49:11.139
They have a pattern, and you can cheese them

00:49:11.139 --> 00:49:12.840
pretty easily. Yeah, see, that's what Ryan and

00:49:12.840 --> 00:49:14.519
I were talking about, or kind of talking about,

00:49:14.579 --> 00:49:17.699
yeah. Yeah. I don't know. It's just funny because

00:49:17.699 --> 00:49:19.440
they're supposed to be like the strong ones in

00:49:19.440 --> 00:49:22.000
that game. But they have tells, and so it's not

00:49:22.000 --> 00:49:25.019
all RNG, so their stuff's not too bad. Yeah.

00:49:25.119 --> 00:49:27.420
That's what we're getting at. But yeah. Yep.

00:49:28.039 --> 00:49:31.539
But yeah, I don't think this one's... Huh? Yeah.

00:49:31.920 --> 00:49:35.019
I don't think this one's too bad. I mean... Anything

00:49:35.019 --> 00:49:37.559
after Castlevania, I'm going to say, isn't too

00:49:37.559 --> 00:49:40.500
bad. Dude, those are some of the worst achievements

00:49:40.500 --> 00:49:43.480
I've seen in my life. I'm sorry. Those were terrible.

00:49:43.739 --> 00:49:49.380
That list is just work. It's not even fun. That's

00:49:49.380 --> 00:49:51.920
just work. Yeah, this one's got some challenge.

00:49:52.059 --> 00:49:53.480
It's definitely hard. It's definitely going to

00:49:53.480 --> 00:49:55.199
make you put some work and time into it, but

00:49:55.199 --> 00:49:58.159
I don't think this one's infuriating for the

00:49:58.159 --> 00:50:00.460
most part. We haven't done the no -hit bosses

00:50:00.460 --> 00:50:05.230
yet. I've done a few of them. Yeah. Did you do

00:50:05.230 --> 00:50:08.110
Grey one? No, I haven't done him yet, no. He's

00:50:08.110 --> 00:50:12.550
tough. I'm sure part of it is infuriating. I'm

00:50:12.550 --> 00:50:15.210
saying the overall list of looking at it is not

00:50:15.210 --> 00:50:20.710
going to infuriate you. I know we keep shitting

00:50:20.710 --> 00:50:22.630
on it, but just looking at that list makes me

00:50:22.630 --> 00:50:27.630
mad. I know, it's tough. There's also 70 -something

00:50:27.630 --> 00:50:29.829
achievements of all that crap. This one only

00:50:29.829 --> 00:50:33.159
has 40. Yeah, and there's 70 achievements in

00:50:33.159 --> 00:50:34.960
the Castlevania just for bosses. That's what

00:50:34.960 --> 00:50:37.119
I'm saying, I know, yeah. It's too much, man.

00:50:37.139 --> 00:50:39.219
It's crazy. Way too much. This is more along

00:50:39.219 --> 00:50:42.039
the lines of what it should be, I think. Yeah.

00:50:42.139 --> 00:50:45.119
It shouldn't be an achievement to not get hit

00:50:45.119 --> 00:50:48.679
by the boss and then use a specific weapon or

00:50:48.679 --> 00:50:52.360
whatever set to fight the boss without getting

00:50:52.360 --> 00:50:55.500
hit. It's too much. It is, I agree. So this one's

00:50:55.500 --> 00:50:57.599
more, I think... I mean, there is one achievement

00:50:57.599 --> 00:51:00.550
to beat the whole game without dying, so... That

00:51:00.550 --> 00:51:04.170
one's going to be a pain in the butt. You can

00:51:04.170 --> 00:51:08.130
just use Jinxing, bro. This game's not super

00:51:08.130 --> 00:51:11.949
long. Thank God for the fast forward button.

00:51:12.170 --> 00:51:17.590
I agree 100%. If it wasn't for that and no continues,

00:51:17.849 --> 00:51:20.750
I probably wouldn't have beat this game. I would

00:51:20.750 --> 00:51:22.469
have gave up like Jacob did. Way too much time.

00:51:22.789 --> 00:51:24.570
Way too much time. I would have gave up like

00:51:24.570 --> 00:51:28.119
Jacob did. I wouldn't have gotten 999 gold. Yeah,

00:51:28.159 --> 00:51:30.159
I wouldn't have done that either. Which, I gotta

00:51:30.159 --> 00:51:32.300
say, it's weird. You lose all your money when

00:51:32.300 --> 00:51:36.000
you quit the game. Yeah, that's annoying. That's

00:51:36.000 --> 00:51:38.420
annoying that they don't save that. I guess there

00:51:38.420 --> 00:51:39.980
was no way for them to do that. I don't see why.

00:51:40.820 --> 00:51:44.119
Again, same with potions, elixirs, all that stuff.

00:51:44.219 --> 00:51:46.599
If you have that stuff, it's gone. Oh, you lose

00:51:46.599 --> 00:51:49.480
that too? I didn't know that. Yeah, I guess there

00:51:49.480 --> 00:51:50.880
was no way for them to put that in the password,

00:51:50.980 --> 00:51:53.460
I guess. Yeah, I don't know. I don't understand

00:51:53.460 --> 00:51:55.539
how that stuff works. You figured they could

00:51:55.539 --> 00:51:59.079
change a character or something. I don't know.

00:51:59.500 --> 00:52:03.019
My guess is that the password length, as long

00:52:03.019 --> 00:52:05.739
as it is now, can only save what they save. And

00:52:05.739 --> 00:52:07.280
if they wanted to add more to it, they'd have

00:52:07.280 --> 00:52:10.239
to make it even longer. Yeah. But then it gets

00:52:10.239 --> 00:52:12.199
to the point of those passwords are too complicated.

00:52:12.360 --> 00:52:14.519
I'm sure it was a balancing game that they had

00:52:14.519 --> 00:52:18.960
to figure out. Yeah, probably. Yeah, I mean,

00:52:18.980 --> 00:52:20.119
it's not a big deal. I mean, you don't really

00:52:20.119 --> 00:52:22.380
use money that much anyway, just to buy potions

00:52:22.380 --> 00:52:24.940
and stuff. So it's not a huge deal. Yeah. Alright,

00:52:24.980 --> 00:52:27.559
you guys gonna master this game? Are you going

00:52:27.559 --> 00:52:31.119
to try and master this game? I'm trying. I'm

00:52:31.119 --> 00:52:33.980
on the fence about it. We'll see. I'm gonna try.

00:52:34.980 --> 00:52:38.880
Yeah, I mean, I don't know. I liked it, but I

00:52:38.880 --> 00:52:41.099
just don't feel like doing the bosses. Yeah,

00:52:41.239 --> 00:52:43.780
I'll probably, I want to, so I'm gonna probably

00:52:43.780 --> 00:52:45.360
go back and try, and then I'll probably hit some

00:52:45.360 --> 00:52:49.159
point and just be like, alright, I'm done. you

00:52:49.159 --> 00:52:51.579
can do it that's understandable bro i know you

00:52:51.579 --> 00:52:54.059
can do it yeah i i think this one you're an achievement

00:52:54.059 --> 00:52:56.599
hunter so yeah and like i said i've been really

00:52:56.599 --> 00:52:58.579
focused on shadows lately so once i get that

00:52:58.579 --> 00:53:01.460
done i'll probably circle back and i'll probably

00:53:01.460 --> 00:53:03.539
go back and uh finish some of this stuff but

00:53:03.539 --> 00:53:07.199
i always try to do no hit bosses on my first

00:53:07.199 --> 00:53:10.460
run yeah that way when i go back and do some

00:53:10.460 --> 00:53:12.300
of these other achievements and just makes everything

00:53:12.300 --> 00:53:16.199
so much easier yeah for sure yeah I don't know.

00:53:16.239 --> 00:53:18.920
I go the other way. I don't worry about the achievements

00:53:18.920 --> 00:53:20.340
too much the first time. I just want to play

00:53:20.340 --> 00:53:23.440
the game and get through the game. Yeah, I understand

00:53:23.440 --> 00:53:25.599
that. But I don't want to play the game more

00:53:25.599 --> 00:53:28.159
than I have to. Yeah. Well, that's the thing.

00:53:28.219 --> 00:53:29.679
I always try and see if there's any missable

00:53:29.679 --> 00:53:32.820
ones. I always check that first and keep an eye

00:53:32.820 --> 00:53:37.000
out for those. Otherwise, I don't care. I just

00:53:37.000 --> 00:53:40.119
play through the game. Yeah. Well, that's if

00:53:40.119 --> 00:53:42.829
the set. labels them as missable well that's

00:53:42.829 --> 00:53:45.449
part of it too but but so like i said this game's

00:53:45.449 --> 00:53:49.030
no more rants no more rants yeah yeah yeah it's

00:53:49.030 --> 00:53:51.250
just like bro we could rant about anything it

00:53:51.250 --> 00:53:54.449
doesn't matter it's just a little bit yeah i

00:53:54.449 --> 00:53:57.070
mean yeah what was i gonna say i don't remember

00:53:57.070 --> 00:53:59.690
oh yeah that's even if you miss stuff in this

00:53:59.690 --> 00:54:01.210
one it's not too bad because this game is pretty

00:54:01.210 --> 00:54:04.829
short it's not that long and once you like find

00:54:04.829 --> 00:54:08.420
all the talismans and stuff like it's They're

00:54:08.420 --> 00:54:11.199
not really hidden. You can find them pretty easily,

00:54:11.320 --> 00:54:13.280
remember where they are. Yeah, if you do just

00:54:13.280 --> 00:54:14.739
a little sleuthing, they're not too hard to find.

00:54:14.960 --> 00:54:18.139
No. It's not really anything hidden in this game.

00:54:18.320 --> 00:54:21.480
Yeah, I think I used the guide one time to find

00:54:21.480 --> 00:54:23.800
one of the potion things, I think, because it's

00:54:23.800 --> 00:54:27.780
behind the skull mounds or whatever. I didn't

00:54:27.780 --> 00:54:31.719
know you could break those. Yeah. I didn't know

00:54:31.719 --> 00:54:34.280
you could headbutt for the first 10 minutes of

00:54:34.280 --> 00:54:36.780
the game. Bro, it shows you that you can do that.

00:54:37.869 --> 00:54:40.750
Dude, I don't know. As soon as you beat the dragon,

00:54:40.989 --> 00:54:42.909
he goes and headbutts a statue trying to show

00:54:42.909 --> 00:54:44.610
you that. Which I thought was weird. I don't

00:54:44.610 --> 00:54:46.650
know why he did that. It's teaching you that

00:54:46.650 --> 00:54:52.570
you can do that. I guess. You're a goober, dude.

00:54:53.210 --> 00:54:56.250
I don't know. You can pause on the overworld.

00:54:56.289 --> 00:55:01.829
I had no idea which level was what. As soon as

00:55:01.829 --> 00:55:03.750
I beat the dragon and got out of the first world,

00:55:03.789 --> 00:55:06.929
I was in the third one. So, I had no idea what

00:55:06.929 --> 00:55:10.670
I was doing at first. Which, I mean, you can

00:55:10.670 --> 00:55:12.750
play this game in any order. Yeah, it's not a

00:55:12.750 --> 00:55:16.449
huge deal. Yeah, you can. It tells you in the

00:55:16.449 --> 00:55:20.369
manual all this stuff. Yeah. Yeah, we don't read.

00:55:22.650 --> 00:55:26.030
It's got pictures in there, though. I ain't gonna

00:55:26.030 --> 00:55:28.489
read to play a video game, bro. It's got pictures,

00:55:28.550 --> 00:55:30.510
like comic books. You gotta go in there blind.

00:55:30.710 --> 00:55:33.150
You gotta figure it out. Alright, so that's the

00:55:33.150 --> 00:55:35.929
achievements. It seems like we like them. don't

00:55:35.929 --> 00:55:37.670
hate them too much it's not the worst we've seen

00:55:37.670 --> 00:55:40.750
they're tough but they're doable right yeah just

00:55:40.750 --> 00:55:43.969
like this game that's the that's the yeah all

00:55:43.969 --> 00:56:05.000
right so let's get to the reviews Okay, so just

00:56:05.000 --> 00:56:07.260
a quick explanation. We're not doing numbers

00:56:07.260 --> 00:56:09.019
or all that stuff. It's just a quick, did you

00:56:09.019 --> 00:56:11.039
like this game and would you recommend this game?

00:56:12.159 --> 00:56:14.420
So I'll hand it over to you guys. Who wants to

00:56:14.420 --> 00:56:20.159
go first? 10 out of 10. Yeah. Really? No, I'm

00:56:20.159 --> 00:56:22.039
just saying. Yeah, no, I thought it was pretty

00:56:22.039 --> 00:56:24.980
good. I definitely enjoyed this game. I had a

00:56:24.980 --> 00:56:27.119
lot of fun with it. I've been wanting to play

00:56:27.119 --> 00:56:30.440
this game for a long time. I don't know, the

00:56:30.440 --> 00:56:33.460
vibe's cool. Like, I like that, like, hell. demon

00:56:33.460 --> 00:56:36.079
you know all that kind of stuff is is pretty

00:56:36.079 --> 00:56:40.280
cool so the bosses were dope looking the artwork

00:56:40.280 --> 00:56:43.880
was cool and the the gameplay is fun so and i

00:56:43.880 --> 00:56:46.800
definitely enjoyed it so would you recommend

00:56:46.800 --> 00:56:52.280
it yeah i would it's uh it's pretty easy to pick

00:56:52.280 --> 00:56:55.619
up and kind of run through so i think anybody

00:56:55.619 --> 00:56:58.630
can pretty much pick this up and play it All

00:56:58.630 --> 00:57:02.070
right. Except for one of us. Yeah. Yeah, apparently.

00:57:02.309 --> 00:57:05.670
Yeah. I mean, he did play it. He just didn't

00:57:05.670 --> 00:57:08.250
finish it. Yeah, that's true. He should beat

00:57:08.250 --> 00:57:12.110
one ending. Yeah. Ryan, what do you think? Yeah,

00:57:12.150 --> 00:57:16.469
I enjoyed this game. The artwork in this game

00:57:16.469 --> 00:57:21.230
is what I like the best. It's just so good, man.

00:57:22.030 --> 00:57:26.050
For a SNES game, it looks so goddamn good. Just

00:57:26.050 --> 00:57:28.530
the colors. There's a lot of games that look

00:57:28.530 --> 00:57:30.210
good on the SNES, but this is definitely one

00:57:30.210 --> 00:57:32.750
of the better ones for sure. Yeah, this is up

00:57:32.750 --> 00:57:37.570
there for sure. All the bosses are just so badass

00:57:37.570 --> 00:57:41.570
looking. You're playing as a demon that can shift

00:57:41.570 --> 00:57:46.989
into air and water. There's just so much variety

00:57:46.989 --> 00:57:50.449
to the enemies too. Capcom was on the top of

00:57:50.449 --> 00:57:52.050
their game at this point, and they were masters

00:57:52.050 --> 00:57:56.400
of the SNES, man. They were good. Yeah, the artwork

00:57:56.400 --> 00:57:59.619
and everything in this game is so good to me.

00:57:59.900 --> 00:58:04.000
The gameplay to me was, I would say, a little

00:58:04.000 --> 00:58:08.260
above average. I didn't think it blew my mind

00:58:08.260 --> 00:58:12.059
or anything, but it wasn't horrible either. It

00:58:12.059 --> 00:58:15.960
just wasn't crazy to me. I thought it was just

00:58:15.960 --> 00:58:21.780
average at best. But, I mean, this game is pretty

00:58:21.780 --> 00:58:25.079
dope, though. just the shit you do and what you

00:58:25.079 --> 00:58:28.699
fight and everything it's was pretty cool and

00:58:28.699 --> 00:58:32.139
just the beginning of this game was so awesome

00:58:32.139 --> 00:58:34.719
that's one of like the best intros to the game

00:58:34.719 --> 00:58:38.980
i've ever seen oh it's so good yeah agreed it's

00:58:38.980 --> 00:58:41.519
it stands up with like new stuff today with all

00:58:41.519 --> 00:58:43.920
their fancy fmvs and shit for sure absolutely

00:58:43.920 --> 00:58:45.539
dude because i thought it was just gonna be a

00:58:45.539 --> 00:58:47.599
cut scene it throws you into it like oh what

00:58:47.599 --> 00:58:51.199
the hell yeah that was sick so Right after that

00:58:51.199 --> 00:58:55.000
cool intro screen, too. Yeah. I was like, hell

00:58:55.000 --> 00:58:56.420
yeah, dude. This game's going to be awesome.

00:58:57.159 --> 00:59:01.239
Cool. Would you recommend it? Yeah. I think this

00:59:01.239 --> 00:59:05.039
is a really good SNES game. I would say, like

00:59:05.039 --> 00:59:09.199
I said, I don't think gameplay is anything crazy.

00:59:09.400 --> 00:59:13.260
I mean, it's decent, but just for the artwork,

00:59:13.460 --> 00:59:17.389
man. Just to experience all the art. The demons

00:59:17.389 --> 00:59:21.610
and ghosts and bosses that you fight, yeah. That's

00:59:21.610 --> 00:59:25.869
such a cool sight, man. Cool. I agree with that.

00:59:26.170 --> 00:59:29.630
Jacob, what do you got? You know, I actually

00:59:29.630 --> 00:59:32.389
did enjoy this game. Like, going through the

00:59:32.389 --> 00:59:35.349
levels and beating the bosses and, you know,

00:59:35.349 --> 00:59:37.289
getting new upgrades and everything, that was

00:59:37.289 --> 00:59:39.030
pretty cool. And as you guys keep mentioning,

00:59:39.170 --> 00:59:42.369
the visuals were awesome, too. I just, I don't

00:59:42.369 --> 00:59:43.750
know. I don't know why. I just didn't really

00:59:43.750 --> 00:59:45.449
want to progress that much. I just don't think

00:59:45.449 --> 00:59:49.530
I was really jiving with, like, how things unfolded.

00:59:49.530 --> 00:59:51.889
I think, like, my number one thing about it is,

00:59:51.909 --> 00:59:54.349
like, in my opinion, it just gives you too much

00:59:54.349 --> 00:59:58.869
freedom. And, like, I don't know. I just, I wish

00:59:58.869 --> 01:00:01.349
there was, like, maybe, like, even the smallest

01:00:01.349 --> 01:00:03.570
of pointers. And maybe there was, and I just

01:00:03.570 --> 01:00:05.690
didn't pick it up, but I don't know. Yeah, I

01:00:05.690 --> 01:00:07.010
mean, that's what I said about the Castlevania

01:00:07.010 --> 01:00:10.090
games. There was no direction. Right. I don't

01:00:10.090 --> 01:00:13.650
know. I get that. too much you know just too

01:00:13.650 --> 01:00:16.550
much things all at once you know it feels a little

01:00:16.550 --> 01:00:19.230
more linear i think i would have been like really

01:00:19.230 --> 01:00:22.329
really wanted to get into it but i mean i did

01:00:22.329 --> 01:00:25.230
enjoy it it's just i didn't really want to finish

01:00:25.230 --> 01:00:28.150
it though that's it right i mean that's fine

01:00:28.150 --> 01:00:30.710
didn't enjoy it enough yeah i guess you could

01:00:30.710 --> 01:00:32.829
say that hey that's gonna happen you can't like

01:00:32.829 --> 01:00:35.329
every freaking thing we're gonna play so true

01:00:35.929 --> 01:00:38.090
I mean, you go from left to right. I don't know

01:00:38.090 --> 01:00:40.829
how much linear you can get. That's not what

01:00:40.829 --> 01:00:46.650
I meant. For the progression. Yeah. So would

01:00:46.650 --> 01:00:48.250
you recommend it, Jacob? What level you have

01:00:48.250 --> 01:00:51.190
played? Honestly, yeah. I just think it's me.

01:00:52.889 --> 01:00:56.590
Again, the gameplay is fun. And the game does

01:00:56.590 --> 01:01:00.050
look great. I just wasn't really a fan of the

01:01:00.050 --> 01:01:03.780
progression and how it goes. And it's just that

01:01:03.780 --> 01:01:06.599
I wasn't really driving with. And I was just

01:01:06.599 --> 01:01:08.199
like, well, I don't really want to beat it. But

01:01:08.199 --> 01:01:10.579
I think a lot of other gamers are going to pick

01:01:10.579 --> 01:01:12.559
this up. I think they would like get over that

01:01:12.559 --> 01:01:14.920
and they would really enjoy it. So I actually

01:01:14.920 --> 01:01:18.340
would recommend this game. Cool. Yeah. Maybe

01:01:18.340 --> 01:01:20.340
someday you'll come back to it and play it again.

01:01:20.400 --> 01:01:23.780
Who knows? True that, fam. Yeah. Yeah. We the

01:01:23.780 --> 01:01:28.079
fam. All right. Yeah. I mean, I agree. I enjoy

01:01:28.079 --> 01:01:31.460
this game. Like you said, the game is difficult,

01:01:31.579 --> 01:01:33.780
but it's not it's not. I mean, the boss fights

01:01:33.780 --> 01:01:35.699
can be, but it's not annoying. If you keep playing

01:01:35.699 --> 01:01:39.679
it, you'll get through them. It's not to the

01:01:39.679 --> 01:01:41.659
point where you want to freaking break your controller.

01:01:41.800 --> 01:01:43.079
Eventually, you'll be like, all right, I got

01:01:43.079 --> 01:01:46.059
through this. I got this. It's visually stunning.

01:01:46.219 --> 01:01:47.920
It's such a good -looking game. The music sets

01:01:47.920 --> 01:01:52.760
the mood. It's crazy to see that Capcom was able

01:01:52.760 --> 01:01:55.519
to take a side character from another. popular

01:01:55.519 --> 01:01:58.099
game and make him make a pretty good game for

01:01:58.099 --> 01:02:00.159
him but like I said this is just Capcom at their

01:02:00.159 --> 01:02:02.639
best man they they were they were at the top

01:02:02.639 --> 01:02:05.019
of their game at this time and they they knew

01:02:05.019 --> 01:02:06.880
how to work that SNES man they were they were

01:02:06.880 --> 01:02:10.619
good at it uh so yeah I enjoyed this game and

01:02:10.619 --> 01:02:12.579
I would I would recommend it too I think anybody

01:02:12.579 --> 01:02:16.000
who likes old SNES games or or just old action

01:02:16.000 --> 01:02:17.880
platformers or anything like that check this

01:02:17.880 --> 01:02:20.019
game out because I think you'll like it It's

01:02:20.019 --> 01:02:22.760
got some depth to it, but it's not overcomplicated.

01:02:22.900 --> 01:02:27.139
It's pretty simple once you get into it. Alright,

01:02:27.260 --> 01:02:29.500
so the next game we're going to be playing is

01:02:29.500 --> 01:02:34.139
Rule of Rose for the PS2. Do you guys know anything

01:02:34.139 --> 01:02:38.579
about this game? Nope. Never heard of it. Really?

01:02:38.619 --> 01:02:40.599
You've never heard of it? Jacob, you know anything

01:02:40.599 --> 01:02:43.260
about it? I've heard of it before. The only other

01:02:43.260 --> 01:02:45.280
thing I know about it is that it has an ultra

01:02:45.280 --> 01:02:48.440
-wide patch for PCSX2, which is the PS2 emulator

01:02:48.440 --> 01:02:51.039
for anybody that doesn't know. Okay, fair enough.

01:02:51.559 --> 01:02:54.019
Ultra -wide. Yeah, I don't know anything about

01:02:54.019 --> 01:02:57.260
the game itself. I also collect, I collect games,

01:02:57.400 --> 01:03:00.119
and I know that this one is super expensive.

01:03:00.219 --> 01:03:03.300
It's a pretty rare one. Pretty much any of these

01:03:03.300 --> 01:03:06.659
PS2 horror games are expensive. That's about

01:03:06.659 --> 01:03:09.119
all I know. I know it's like a horror game. I

01:03:09.119 --> 01:03:11.380
think it's got like a Resident Evil kind of style

01:03:11.380 --> 01:03:14.239
and stuff to it. But that's about all I know.

01:03:15.280 --> 01:03:18.219
Fitting. Yeah, right. As long as it's not made

01:03:18.219 --> 01:03:22.519
by Capcom. Yeah. Well, no, this one's not. This

01:03:22.519 --> 01:03:25.059
is actually imported. I don't think they developed

01:03:25.059 --> 01:03:27.019
it, but it's Atlas again, which they did the

01:03:27.019 --> 01:03:29.380
Crusader of Centi game, Eric. So hopefully. Oh,

01:03:29.400 --> 01:03:33.679
no. Yeah. But they only they just do publishing.

01:03:33.800 --> 01:03:36.420
They're not developers. So the developer is completely

01:03:36.420 --> 01:03:39.280
different, I think. You might be good. Yeah,

01:03:39.440 --> 01:03:41.780
you might be good. These are the same guys that

01:03:41.780 --> 01:03:45.119
made Chulip. Oh, really? Chuplip? Chuplip. I

01:03:45.119 --> 01:03:46.579
think it's Chuplip. Chuplip? Something like that.

01:03:47.179 --> 01:03:50.000
I don't know. The developers? The developers

01:03:50.000 --> 01:03:55.019
did? Yeah. Okay. Punchline? Yeah. Yeah. Alright,

01:03:55.119 --> 01:03:57.079
so this is the front of the box. It's just, it

01:03:57.079 --> 01:03:59.019
looks like a piece of parchment paper with like

01:03:59.019 --> 01:04:02.519
a, I mean, it looks like a, like a tramp stamp

01:04:02.519 --> 01:04:05.940
to me. Yeah, kind of. Right? Does it look like

01:04:05.940 --> 01:04:09.659
a tramp stamp? Yeah, it does. It's got like tattoo

01:04:09.659 --> 01:04:13.260
vines with a bunch of feminine animal portraits

01:04:13.260 --> 01:04:15.760
on you. Hanging dog by vines. What's going on

01:04:15.760 --> 01:04:17.219
with that dog? Yeah, I don't know. He's just

01:04:17.219 --> 01:04:19.500
chilling, I guess. And a butterfly, which is

01:04:19.500 --> 01:04:21.119
a classic. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Tramp

01:04:21.119 --> 01:04:23.719
stamp, bro. Then you got the rose. The rose.

01:04:24.360 --> 01:04:27.639
Then I'm assuming Rose is a person and this is

01:04:27.639 --> 01:04:29.960
the game's her rules or something. I don't know.

01:04:30.820 --> 01:04:33.500
Couldn't tell you. No idea. I'm not getting much

01:04:33.500 --> 01:04:37.059
from the front here. Yeah. I think this game...

01:04:37.059 --> 01:04:39.360
Take a look at the back, yeah. Yeah. Alright,

01:04:39.440 --> 01:04:43.400
so... A story too cruel, too beautiful, to go

01:04:43.400 --> 01:04:46.820
untold. Set in 1930s England, the game follows

01:04:46.820 --> 01:04:48.940
the terrifying tale of a young girl, Jennifer,

01:04:49.199 --> 01:04:51.679
who wanders unknowingly into a bizarre world

01:04:51.679 --> 01:04:54.619
not governed by rational adults, but by misguided

01:04:54.619 --> 01:04:57.610
children. innocence can give rise to absurd rules

01:04:57.610 --> 01:05:00.369
and cruel behaviors as poor jennifer soon discovers

01:05:00.369 --> 01:05:02.630
the children's desire to preserve their secret

01:05:02.630 --> 01:05:04.769
society quickly leads them down the path to the

01:05:04.769 --> 01:05:07.289
unthinkable how did jennifer end up in this surreal

01:05:07.289 --> 01:05:10.030
world will the nightmare ever end the unimaginable

01:05:10.030 --> 01:05:12.489
truth gradually comes to light as forgotten memories

01:05:12.489 --> 01:05:15.289
are violently awakened assume the role of jennifer

01:05:15.289 --> 01:05:17.889
and with the help of her loyal dog brown escape

01:05:17.889 --> 01:05:20.989
the clutches of the aristocrats of the red crayon

01:05:22.139 --> 01:05:24.280
This game, packed with shocking mysteries waiting

01:05:24.280 --> 01:05:26.280
to be unraveled, will challenge your nerves and

01:05:26.280 --> 01:05:29.900
wits like never before. I like that. Aristocrats

01:05:29.900 --> 01:05:32.599
of the Red Crayon. What happened to the Green

01:05:32.599 --> 01:05:37.579
Crayon? They got eaten. Yeah, they kept it red.

01:05:38.320 --> 01:05:41.380
What's up with the hand -drawn stray dog there?

01:05:41.599 --> 01:05:44.039
And then it looks like an actual picture of...

01:05:44.039 --> 01:05:49.420
What's going on with that? This back cover is

01:05:49.420 --> 01:05:52.360
very weird. What's with the upside down mouth

01:05:52.360 --> 01:05:54.980
on the bottom half of this part? What is that

01:05:54.980 --> 01:05:58.300
about? Why is someone sucking on a finger on

01:05:58.300 --> 01:06:02.119
the top? This game is getting crazy. Very odd

01:06:02.119 --> 01:06:05.460
back cover. Is she carrying a cross? Is that

01:06:05.460 --> 01:06:07.320
what she's carrying? It's a revolver it looks

01:06:07.320 --> 01:06:12.119
like. It looks like a gun. I don't know. I'm

01:06:12.119 --> 01:06:13.840
meaning this picture on the right here. The bottom.

01:06:14.739 --> 01:06:17.760
Right. Oh, they look like hedge trimmers. Yeah.

01:06:18.420 --> 01:06:20.099
The other one looks like he's carrying a cross

01:06:20.099 --> 01:06:21.980
like a sickly child with a cross or something.

01:06:22.199 --> 01:06:24.380
Yeah. And the one in the middle looks like a

01:06:24.380 --> 01:06:27.320
disfigured like monkey. Yeah. What the hell is

01:06:27.320 --> 01:06:30.179
going on here? What is this game? It's giving

01:06:30.179 --> 01:06:33.179
off like Silent Hill vibes, dude. Yeah. The Silent

01:06:33.179 --> 01:06:35.619
Hill 3 is weird. I don't know if you know what

01:06:35.619 --> 01:06:38.019
the ending of Silent Hill 3 is like, but. No.

01:06:38.280 --> 01:06:41.880
Does it got dogs and ants? Dude. In Ladybug?

01:06:41.940 --> 01:06:44.340
You don't even know. Yeah, no spoilers, no spoilers.

01:06:45.559 --> 01:06:47.539
Why is there ants on the back? I don't know.

01:06:48.840 --> 01:06:51.039
I'm curious to see what the dog mechanic is,

01:06:51.079 --> 01:06:53.880
though. That sounds cool. Yeah, I want to play

01:06:53.880 --> 01:06:56.480
as that dog. Yeah, brown, big brown. I wonder

01:06:56.480 --> 01:07:00.059
if Jennifer has a tramp stamp. She might. Maybe

01:07:00.059 --> 01:07:04.260
that's the twist of this game. That's the twist.

01:07:04.820 --> 01:07:06.599
That's the rule. Everyone has to have a tramp

01:07:06.599 --> 01:07:10.369
stamp. That's the rule. She has a magical tram

01:07:10.369 --> 01:07:13.110
stamp that transported her to the world. Just

01:07:13.110 --> 01:07:20.110
like Tattoo Man from DC. Anything else anybody

01:07:20.110 --> 01:07:22.250
wants to say about this? I think we're all getting

01:07:22.250 --> 01:07:26.369
loopy from lack of sleep. Probably. One player

01:07:26.369 --> 01:07:30.489
memory card for PS2. It's got digital analog.

01:07:31.489 --> 01:07:36.269
Nice. And vibrational function. Hopefully it's

01:07:36.269 --> 01:07:39.260
not tank controls. Blood. Intensive violence

01:07:39.260 --> 01:07:42.920
and suggestive themes. This game looks very fucking

01:07:42.920 --> 01:07:45.699
weird. It does. So you guys excited to play this

01:07:45.699 --> 01:07:49.920
game? Yeah. I've been trained. Yeah. It's been

01:07:49.920 --> 01:07:53.159
on my list. I want to play as that dog. Yeah.

01:07:53.519 --> 01:07:55.599
Yeah, I'm excited. That's kind of what I'm curious

01:07:55.599 --> 01:07:57.079

01:07:57.079 --> 01:08:01.199
like. Yeah. But, yeah. I want to see some crayons.

01:08:01.900 --> 01:08:05.039
Yeah, I want to see some crayons. The finger

01:08:05.039 --> 01:08:08.300
sucking mechanics. Yeah. Whatever the hell that

01:08:08.300 --> 01:08:12.659
is. Suck on the crayons. Didn't you eat enough

01:08:12.659 --> 01:08:15.239
in the Air Force? No, that's a marine thing.

01:08:15.840 --> 01:08:20.399
Yeah, same thing. Close enough. Debatable. Debatable.
