I mean, when you think about it, "I am known for playing bad games and not being a total drama queen" is kind of a sad statement. I wouldn't want that to be my day job either. No wonder the guy is burning out.

I'd just be constantly stressing about chasing this industry that puts out so much garbage, and hoping that it's not too terrible that it actively draws people away from you. Having to trawl every source of indie horror hoping to find something you can use in a video with enough content, the constant need to put these things out daily, and that's just when you're not on camera, ugh. What a grind that'd be on your spirit.

Now that you say it, I do not think I've seen many games other than Bioshock 2 use it, even though it worked so well in that game also.

Yeah, the only ones that spring to mind are Undying and the Bioshock games (although I've not played 1 for so long I don't know if that was even the controls for it).

You can more generally dual-wield anything in Skyrim, so I suppose that would count.

No wonder the guy is burning out. that's not really anything he's ever said though, he's not feeling burnt out because that's his reputation and it's 'sad', he's just saying he's finding it tedious playing these long-form indie horror games that basically are all identical. he's not against playing 'bad games' and giving commentary, he made it pretty clear it's just these hour + long vids that just involve walking around an old manor reading notes about deep dark family secrets etc. just don't inspire him to make good content.

King's Field games had a dedicated attack button and a dedicated magic button. This was important because some of the game's swords had secret magic in them where if you pressed the magic button while mid-swing, you'd do a special magic attack like launching a giant boulder at the enemy or things like that.

This may not be the place for it, but I’m trying to remember a PC game I owned late 90s/early 2000s and Google has failed me. If I remember correctly you played a film noir-style detective investigating paranormal/horror(?) themed storylines. I’m pretty sure I remember there being a werewolf involved in one of the missions somewhere. I don’t really remember anything else except that it was super difficult, at least for me back then. Been trying to track it down for awhile. Figured I’d see if anyone else remembered it.

Yeah, Rayne was originally Svetlana. Castle in Bloodrayne is supposed to be the one from Nocturne's first chapter. I need to see if it works on my current computer, I was partway through the Frankenstein's Mobster chapter.

According to this guy on the GOG forums, it's doable, but you need to get rid of the intro movie and watch it in a separate viewer or something. That is not an uncommon issue, I recently tried playing Wizardry 8 again and the game would crash whenever I started a new game. The solution was to just remove all the video files, the game runs perfectly fine in every other regard. Cardiovorax fucked around with this message at 00:25 on Nov 11, 2019 |
