@@OmegaMusicYT I consider Bloodborne as an RPG, and I am almost sure Sekiro is similar XD (I don't have that complex to define exactly what is or not rpg) Those are good points, yeah I get the idea, actually that is another thing I don't like at all, the kind of progression with weapons, you get into a new town and you need to prepare the wallet for new gear, it becomes trivial (this happens in many many RPGs)

@@valletas haven't played newer FF since I left the series in 7 but I get the idea with Mario an Luigi. That is interesting, I liked those games because of those dynamics, I found them interesting going through the bottoms like when you use a copy flower in "partners in time" But yeah I get that they can be frustrating at moments.

@gamingodyssey5633 its not that i find them frustrating its just that bro... I dont want any action I love action games and i am actually developing an action platformer myself i just dont think turn based combat and action is a good mixture at all Thats like putting cereal into your coffe you either end with a bad turn based combat system or a bad action combat system few games have managed to find an in between

@@valletas 😯 now I get you, that is a new. Seems like a enjoy my cereal with coffee 😋. No, in all seriousness I never felt that while playing those games. Best of luck with your game o7

@@Adrian-xn3ss hahaha this reminds me a lot to the first donkey Kong and MegaMan X games, there were a couple of items literally to your lefts side while starting some stages XD

@@commissarsteele5852 yeh they are annoying, you are running against the clock all the time, I hate those moments when you cannot really enjoy every aspect of the game. It feels like they are forcing their way, so players dive into a second or more rounds playing those 100hr+ games XD

oh the classic RNG, i am in something like a middle point there, because for example if you play with dices and stuff like that, that is pure RNG, but there has been many discussions and the ways it works in games to encourage players to enjoy the system. There are some vids about that within Fire Emblem executions, old ones being true percentage, and newer games like a whased down version of RNG. But Yeh, i Get it, it is frustraiting when that 99% fails XD been there

Yeah BD2 is an odd ball, I liked the game, but I have heard it turns worse as time pass (did not see that but oh well), what i can say, is that some late bosses are a bit random, tough and weak, but what takes places the cherry on top are the Ba'als, be prepared, those bosses are pure hell (side story ones) Glad you enjoyed the vid, thanks a lot for the comment :D

Legend of Grimrock 2

@@GooseYASH Thank you for the recommendation, I have actually played LoG2. Would you have any to recommend in the turn based style?

@@TenguXD hey glad you liked the video. It depends, within this "sub-sub" genre, undernauts has a really good story and it is a good beginning. If you wanna have something much more "childish" but brutal, etrian odyssey V A kind of modern approach, between wizardry/Isekai - stranger of sword city, and saviors of sapphire wings I would ask more about the kind of setting you want, if you are into western ideas, star crawlers. A bit more old school, legends of amberland, or even much more old school labyrinth of zangetsu (around 20 hrs, and same ideas as the original wizardry) I have a video named five reason why you should and shouldn't play drpgs, there is a small section where I just share different ideas, plus the whole description is filled with entries

Demon Gaze Extra is a good entry point until you want to try other Wizardy-like titles like Mary Skelter.

true, true, both demon gaze are good options if you don't mind anime and some fan service here and there. You can also set the difficulty, if you are having issues. And the second entry is way friendlier, but you can't make your characters, so they have defined tasks, unless you start to farm some skills, but it is better to save them till the very end of the game.

@@KazeMemaryu hahaha that is a classic, in every effin etrian Odyssey those last bosses are just nerve wrecking. Probably the most unfair was EO 1 the 6th stratum was just a horrible experience, it is so slow. A lot of portals, really unfair normal enemies, plus FOEs that can blast your entire team, EO 5 with all the portals and annoying binds in every corner, let's not talk about the last boss XD The 3500 floors in galleria, yeh all the post content bosses here are just mental in one way or another hahaha

@@734ch3r there are plenty of drpgs where you can continue, and yeah, they have interesting creative ideas. But most of the time people simply abandon them as they are unforgiving and old school. XD

@@soratheorangejuicemascot5809 oh yeh, those marvelous estarían odyssey end game stages XD they are lovely, the imperial bridge, those hollows, the mazes from the 3rd entry, I despise them all the same hahahah

Hey Glad you found it interesting. Yeh, drpgs have acquired that popularity, In some cases it works fine, except when there is a cap or something like that.

I know the game, but tbh I haven't play the entry, all i know is that it is a good RPG with solid ideas, but yeh, it is not a DRPG on its own, nothing like Etrian odyssey or something like that. on that front it looks rather simple. I guess it depends, i have played Yggdra and Blaze Union, so I would chose Touhou to expand the horizons, and check if it is effectively that good. otherwise a safe choice is Yggdra Next year most likely I will talk about some of their RPGs XD

@gamingodyssey5633 I havent played Blaze Union since I I kinda doubt on how it takes the route choices. I also played Gloria Union on emu. The game is good and got a nice maps that made it very fun. Although it does have some stuff I am not a big fan of like everyone has a signature card.

Blaze Union tells a good story about Gulcasa, antagonist that you find in Yggdra, and if memory works well, there were 3 sides on the story, but yeh it is easier than Yggdra, with some mechanics that let you know if you things will work out or neh. Havent played gloria, so not sure about changes on that one XD. I would look for the touhou gameplay and check if it is what i am kinda expecting, otherwise look back at the backlog :'p

I can chime in for Labyrinth of Touhou. You're right, it's not first-person but I would still consider it DRPG-adjacent since there's exploration and mapping, puzzle solving, and an occasional F.O.E. Visually it's kind of meh, but the combat and party building is where LoT shines, which might have sparked the Etrian Odyssey comparisons (I wouldn't call them that similar). You have a party size of 12 and can recruit around 50 members each filling their own niche, such as Reimu being a healer/buffer or Wriggle specializing in poison. This coupled with the fact that KO'd party members are out for the rest of the battle makes for some truly interesting fights where regularly swapping out front-liners is critical. Technically you can still out-grind the challenge, but you can level down your party. It's a well thought out system but some info is esoteric, so having the Touhou Wiki on hand can be useful. HOWEVER, if you're looking for a true Touhou first-person DRPG then may I suggest Touhou: Artificial Dream in Arcadia? That game is a masterclass love letter to both Touhou and Shin Megami Tensei. Highly recommend, plus it has a demo if you wanna try before buying.

@Dreaxslar ohh I already tried Artificial Dreams Arcadia. The bullet hell hacking is just too slow for my taste. It felt like a euroshmup for some reason.

@@PrettyHappy7 haven't played re7. Ditched the series after 6 XD But I know his background a little

@@FredFunk-h1k hahahah sounds like it took a while to find them XD There is a funny comment down there saying that I have no idea what a first person dungeon crawler is :'p

@@soratheorangejuicemascot5809 nope, I didn't know that one, XD but reading about it sounds intriguing, it's rare to see those "many in one" these days.

@@soratheorangejuicemascot5809 Glad to see you here XD Yeh, Knights in the nightmare, is an amazing game, lots of little details, but that learning curve :'p

@@jeffcourty6321 hey there !!! Yeh IF/CH are niche in multiple ways. They have improved XD, compared to the oldest approaches And thanks a lot for the support, really appreciated :D

@@planescaped 🤕, so the second game did not improve, I guess lucky me that I did not even try XD Hahah I mean if paying is not owning then ... :'p

@@thedude7319 hahaha I know right?? It has happened to me a good number of times too. Some are still holding quite well, but others.... What can I say XD

@@Nareas hahaha I had a really bad experience with that one, so, I am just going after that peculiar way to play it, probably the original version is amazing. Idk tbh, but I tried to play that thing and spent a decent amount of time. But the 4th time... losing my stuff after like 20hr pffft I was furious, because I had evolved a couple of denjus (if I remember they were named like that) that were not easy to befriend and the many items to evolve them XD

@@professorpenne9962 yep, there are plenty with bat voice acting XD The first resident evil, rogue warrior, house of the dead, oblivion, back in the day I was not that fond of MegaMan X4, two worlds and the list could go on and on :'p At least some of them were so bad that it was hilarious 😂

Hey yeh, I was not fond of Eternal Sonata, it had an amazing gameplay, but its story did not sit well XD the thing with Mario RPGs is that seems like Miyamoto wanted to leave that kind of idea in the "Saga/partners in time/BIS/etc" and paper Mario was in the way, so that is the reason as far as I know. but yeh the other ones are good games. Playing bad games is a double edge sword, sometimes you find a lot of potential wasted and it is sad, but also as you said, I appreciate good games much more.

I wanted to like eternal sonata, I liked the combat, but at some boss areas there would be a big spike in difficulty. And yeah bosses are supposed to be tougher, but compared to the damage area enemies were putting out they were straight up broken. Which made grinding and leveling up so much more tedious. It got so frustrating!

@@ranruun hahahah yeh, I will XD But that back log is just suffering T-T

@@sketchbookprimero that was the idea XD wacky and dumb Glad you had a laugh :D

@@734ch3r I have always found entertaining that Spanish speaking people can understand Portuguese by listening to it, at least by read and wild guess it sounds like (juegos mortales) XD And yeh, that is the most annoying thing tbh, at the end of the day I can live with some wacky translations/localization here and there, but when they change things just because.... Meh 😕

@@Shamanteng yeh I get you I had not heard that about pokemon, I mean... It is just a turn base RPG, I kinda get where people wanna go with "strategy" but neh, otherwise pretty much any turn base RPG would be "strategy" to some extent. With turn base strategy I mean (the same): Disgaea/FE/Othercide/Limit Breaker the kind of chess game.

@@professorpenne9962 I really liked Unicorn but it can be a bit random at times too XD. But yeh, mood is a big factor. However most people don't really like turn base strategic/tactical games, as they are usually slow.

I like strategy games a lot but it certainly doesn't help in this day and age where people watch shorts, toks and put videos on 2X speed. almost zero attention span.

@@professorpenne9962 yup agree with that, there are also other ways to play them. At least with emulation, sometimes you can increase the speed, reducing the action times, just to keep with the flow. FFT a2 was a good experience because of that, because the Original version was a bit too slow tbh XD

@@gamingodyssey5633 FFT a2...makes sense why you would want to fast forward through that one lol

@@gamingodyssey5633 the FFT game on GBA blows imo. the dialogue taking 10 years is one of the least of its problems lol. how did they go from FFT which is amazing, then dump that out? same handheld that has golden sun and yggdra union.

@@734ch3r Nice!!! I haven't played the Disgaea games T-T kinda itchy to play one or two, perhaps later down the line, will give them a check.

@@gamingodyssey5633 they have tons of mechanics and good humour. 5 I can recommend, and 7 is also supposed to be very good. 6 is supposed to be avoided, and the others are from the PS3, PS2 and PSP days.

@@734ch3r nice to know. I had heard that the 4th entry was considered as the best one, and yeh the same to avoid 6 XD will definitely give them a look later later, back log 🪵 has not been that friendly lately T-T

​@@gamingodyssey5633 I would say leave D5 for one of the last you play. if you play D5 then D6...you'll see why most disgaea fans hate that game lol. the quality dropped like ton of bricks.

@@professorpenne9962 😯 oooh, hahaha oka then avoid that one, or perhaps start with that and then be surprised XD

@@roguerifter9724 I prefer the system like that, because some backtracking or some farming would be a bit tedious. But yeh I get you, it gets mid one in one and the another can get a similar treatment

@@musang4437 the story behind each case is quite amazing, there was a book or something that (as far as I know) explained the kind of relationship between the different factions and all of that. But yeh, it is a really unfriendly game XD

@@gamingodyssey5633 Yes! There was an artbook which went into more detail into the relationships which gave you hints into which pairs would get mutual bonuses or debuffs. I remember getting hold of a scanned pdf of that book for reference for my project lol...

@@skyeshi3570 Duavlie, trails of cold steel 4 XD oh common I reviewed the game hahaha not proud of how I did it back then but meh I gotta learn

@@gamingodyssey5633 cool, and subbed

@@beewell1600 you are right, confused the scripts with another thing and mixed titan fall assault. My bad.

@@Outmind01 Not sure about Amalur tho. As far as I knew it was like so so, back in the day no one looked at it, and tbh I did not deeply check with this revisited edition. With grim dawn I knew I was stretching things, that is why I mentioned it.

@@gamingodyssey5633 People LOVE Amalur and as someone who wound up with it around launch I don't get it. It was like a somehow more generic and less soulfull Fable, nice visuals, that was about it. But people LOOOOVE that game.

@@malonshammer 🤔 not sure that is within the active community, at least the side I knew about is that it was like " aaah it is an ok game, nothing new," I mean putting it into perspective with Neptunia games, they are ok games but fans will always be fans. However if that is the case then my bad XD I knew the other side of the coin hahaha. Thanks a lot for the insight o7

@@Hravokh hahahah as it has to be XD

@@734ch3r Hey!! Glad you found the video interesting. o7 And yep folklore is really interesting, quite unique and wacky in many moments.

@@MBulldog1979 I get you, sometimes flea markets (garage sales) are the best options, but yeah, finding these games are not that common as Mario/Zelda/Fifa/RE/MH. Perhaps emulation if you can save for a PC, the one I had from 10 years ago (updated this year), was able to run PSP/switch games with no issues (was kinda randomly assy with spare parts, quite cheap) Or straight up console emulation/patch, same thing, you can find, PSP/PS4 relatively cheap. Those are the ideas on top of mind, to play these games. As they are not that heavy on resources. Or discounts as you say, but tbh I haven't seen that many on eBay or other places.

Then phisical is difficult for you, the printed copies are few and most people that buy are die hard fans that arent going to resell it. But, in the digital space, there are sometimes good prices on the Playstation Network or steam.

@@jmporkbob so it was a new engine?? Oooh that explains a lot, my bad there, despite that yeh I like that part much more, previous entries were good, but the engine was running a bit out of steam. Personally I don't mind a 6 (score) as minimum (reason why I still get several switch games XD), but I have to be consistent, so most of times they were like 7.

@@gamingodyssey5633 If you are interested in action games, Ys 10 releasing in a couple of weeks is their 3rd game on this engine. (It came after Daybreak 2.) The animation work looks much improved from what I've seen compared to Daybreak 1, and especially previous games.

@@734ch3r Hey, I believe it is safe to watch, I did not jump into "wows" parts, some random and nice scenes here and there tho XD But yep, it was an enjoyable journey. Waiting for the next one to continue.

@@tacioob2337 Thanks a lot for the support!! The channel is a bit of a mix between, reviews/Tops/analysis and stuff like that. And I upload something new every Sunday.
