looking back at gen 6 and that shit looked good! what happened?

The osts for sh2 dm3 and ffx are easily in my top5 albums

Mid 90s to mid 2000s games aesthetics, atmosphere and graphics will never be equalled. Perfect balance between realism and art style

How the fuck does someone just steal ThegamingBrits video word for word and somehow people eat it up.

Imagine fighting Majima and then after that there's a skipable cutscene after that Kiryu just starts singing Baka Mitai

Wow, this brings me back to the old times of playing the n64 with my cousin back in 98-99-01, i remember a game where i was a fox in a ship fighting, then we played star wars, south park, turok!!!!.... amazing freaking games and times.... then i moved onto ps1 playing silent hill, dino crisis, wip3out..... holy shit, this was absolute PEAK GAMING, wont be better than this.

This video is good but a little too bias in favor of Japanese games. GTA 3 and GTA Vice were released during that time and deserved a mention imo.

Some games from the 2000's looked great like Half Life 2, but then you get the piss filter later that decade..

This is the reason I still play PS3!

Nishki's whole story is probably the best written story in the series. The actor also goes above and beyond and shows how the Japanese attitude of voice acting can give some Oscar actors a run for their money. The car scene in 0 is probably my favorite dramatic scene in any story and fun fact, doing the additional new scenes for kiwami as well as doing the redub over the original scenes (he was in the first game as well) was so emotionally traumatizing for him, he swore to never look at the script again. Clearly sega saw talent when they rehired him to now lead the series with ichiban.

9:56 in the video and I just wanna say good job on this video & now I know why I like drum & bass so much 💀

anyone know the game at 1:36?

Golden age of gaming ❤

Really appreciate the good balance over the background music and voice over audio, this was enjoyable.

I’m late to the party here, a little, but replaying MGS4 on pc emulated and upscaled makes me realize this game is PEAAAAAAK 2000’s aesthetic! Upscaling shows how good this game has aged graphically but it still contains some pretty MGS2-era looking assets for certain objects making it such a joy to behold right now.

Reload always looked...strange to me. Like, its as extremely faithful as it gets, even though it’s a nearly one to one remake of FES, there's something off about it, it still doesn’t give the same vibes. Perhaps it's trying to resemble the movie adaptation more than the original game, i don't quite know how to describe it properly, but the art direction never really felt the same, something about it just doesn't look right. Like the vibes aren't Its not as uniquely "2000s" as it should be, it looks like the anime adaptation, but at what cost, wildly differing from the atmosphere FES had. It's impressive on a technical level but artistically it's simply not as "edgy". I came to the conclusion that, Persona 3 FES looked like that because it was a Shin Megami Tensei game, while Persona 3 Reload looks like a modern Persona game in the more colorful style of Persona 4 and Persona 5. This why it doesn't hit the same feels, the art direction and overall mood used to be darker and bleaker. I can see the heavy inspiration from the movies, I liked them but I wasn’t expecting the remake to use that as the baseline for the aesthetic.

Every time I see the price argument, I wonder if I'm the only one who played Reload through gamepass

love the vaporwave editing aesthetic, tho it is a bit visually overwhelming at times. i think something the original tartarus had over reload is the way you approach enemies. the original tartarus had arches to juke enemies and choke points where enemies would enter an alert state and more aggressively block your path if you got detected at a bad time. that plus the weapon diversity for the protagonist allowing for different approaches to ambushing enemies made the experience more varied and engaging. you could even split your party up to find the exit faster but at the cost of EXP gains since you'd be avoiding enemy confrontation. reload tartarus is a mixed bag. blocks 1, 3, and 5 feel more compact leaving a little room for error while blocks 2, 4, and 6 are more spacious and there's no way you're getting caught. ambushing enemies is as simple as sprinting into them.

The Tomb Raider Legend footage you used is from the xbox 360. The PS2 graphics were definitely a little janky, and still looked like a PS2 game.

That intro transition was clean

I agree definitely flawed but good. I don't understand why they removed the ability to use different weapons making the sword standard but they removed the kendo class as an option to take. The game should not be this easy I have the same issues with P5R and KH3 before Crit mode came out. The color palette to me is to bright for the subject matter. Not including femc obviously, and the removal of the stamina system. And a few other things I didn't enjoy. This is a good remake but I'd still choose fes or even portable, this remake didn't hit like RE1R did when that released.

When it comes to Theurgy and their speed iirc your team of Mits, Yuka and Aigis are all on the slower end of Theurgy speed (though Aigis might just be because she doesn’t get Theurgy while in Orgia Mode). The faster characters are Aragaki Ken and Aki. You were experiencing Theurgy at its weaker side both in terms of speed and in general dps.

I think the general consensus is, Reload is still an excellent game, however when compared to certain aspects of the OG, it delivers on a different note. The mood isn’t as dark, combat is free as hell and ridiculously easy, and the choice to explain things instead of being discrete really hurt the game for me

the editing on this is so good oml

make a fortnite video I LOVE THAT GAME!!!!! NOWNOWNOWWWW!!!!!

IVE BEEN WAITING FOR MONTHSSS!!!!

The editing in this goes HARD. Great work!

well done video love it!

The original Persona 3 was already my favorite game in the series and Reload actually made the story hit even harder for me. I agree that it's extremely easy and some of the cutscenes aren't as good. However all the positives like extra character scenes you mentioned, fully voiced social links, quality of life updates, etc. far outweigh the negatives for me

Holy shit

P5 characters are social outcasts. They simply weren't going to be great at bonding compared to the other casts in the series. The P5 cast had to come together out of severe necessity. Before that, they couldn't open up to literally anyone. Joker had to be the one to break down their walls, he understood their loneliness better than anyone else ever could. Even outside of the main party, all the confidants are at their lowest points when you meet them due to the oppressive systems they're compelled to fight against. It's why the Fool arcana isn't mapped to the main party as it is with the rest of the Hashino era games. P5 is the only exception to this for a reason. Another youtuber said it best in regards to the P3 cast. The P3 cast aren't friends, they're family. P5 cast were friends, mainly because of their shared enmity against the society that abandoned them. Once their fight was done, they went their separate ways because they're just accustomed to being loners. As we see in P5Strikers, they'll still be meeting up every now and then, but they still have goals to follow that supersede their friend group. Only one that stays with Joker at the end was Morgana because that was literally what he was created for.

I love that intro bro

pumpo I love you but unfortunately I can't currently watch this since I'm playing Persona 3 FES... To compensate I'll binge your other videos again

Each game had its own unique personality and mood back then. No two games were alike. The way the graphic design of each game varied made it feel as though you were altering dimensions each time you changed the disc, or cartridge.

pumpo uploading is a national holiday

huge fan of this

The beginning is edited like a tonami commercial good stuff

hi

This game literally changed me and my life ❤❤❤🐉

SSX Tricky is a snowboarding game, and even that had a beach level.. 😅

Well we appreciate things like it because it's temporary. Whenever a series it's best and brightest it's temporary. Whenever all the original cast and crew and people are there that's temporary. But most important of all we appreciate it because we know we're temporary. To say that it could quite reclaim the throne like it did back in the day is not likely. What will gaming be like in the upcoming years or decades only the mysteriously enigmatic arrow of time going forward will show that answer. But as Dr Seuss said don't cry because it ended smile because it happened. Not everything has always done it proud but more than enough of gaming from the early 2000s has been done to be remembered for a long time to come!

Why you didn't mention Misnight Club 3 in Music? It has one of the best soundtracks ever!

You identified the main reason why we can't make games like before. It is too expensive. All big companies should take a page out of Nintendo's book and not chase after graphics so hard.

Can you upload again please lol

The aesthetic of 1999 to September 10th, 2001 was amazing. In retrospect it feels like we were gearing up for a really nice culture that we ultimately never got.

good stuff! does any1 know the name of game at 05.14?

pre-internet era was a all different creative era

Love the dnb playing throughout the video

2000 - 2005 is the greatest era, 5 years that defined SOOOOOOOO much of current days
