Join Johnny Millenium The Happy Console Gamer as he discusses new video game news and reviews forgotten games that not many people know about but should! - เกม
"How can the game based on the anime that I've never seen be bad!?" had me cracking up :)
Andrew is not only an iconic character through all your stories and lore, but he's also such a natural on camera. The charisma and chemistry between both of you is unreal.
It's no wonder how you've remained such great friends after all these years. Congrats on your friendship.
Yeah, you would have thought he had had his own show as well considering ow relaxed he seems.
Years of watching Johnny makes it a lot easier for me than it otherwise would have been!
@@hippolewis2513 Always so excellent to have you. Hopefully Johnny's doing better these days!
He’s cool, but he’s no Bob Cornhole. Lol
I loved his full faced grin and laughing at Johnny. He needs to be on more!!! Love the chemistry
Andrew's beard has a beard...
andrew should grow out his full beard
WHAT!!?? My friends and I looking back LOVE all that generations Lord of The Rings hack and slash's...legit that was a staple game for my friends and I in elementary school
"Despite the rumors" haha Andrew became the rich kid. Thank you so much Johnny ...
Those Lord of the Rings movie tie in games were my childhood! I can’t tell you how many hours I’ve put in to both the Two Towers and Return of the King! How dare you have an opinion different than mine 😆 guys you broke my heart!
Me too, I loved the games.
Return Of The King is probably one of the best 2 player games on PS2 in my opinion.
Great games
Two towers! 🤘
n_e_e_t I recently played Return of the King on GameCube. It’s rough, but for me it still kept its charm. The good thing about those games is that they only take a day to finish. So for a quick trip down memory lane the replay value is there
When Andrew said Johnny knocked him off ledges, my brain jumped to the old Garfield cartoons.
I enjoyed both Lord of the Rings games. It captured that 'against all odds' feel of the movies. Frustrating at times no doubt,but fun.
Johnny, I absolutely loved the Two Towers video game. Played it when I was 10 years old. I enjoyed it so much I did all the bonus content at the end of the game lol
Same, loved it.
I love the GameCube lord of the ring games.......😭
They are still awesome games still
Here-here
The ps2 ports were good too, felt real when Gandalf jumped into polygons 😂
Most people do
@@Thoushaltplaymore ROTK was the best
When you guys started talking about selling your collections to get a system and a game, it struck a nerve. Back in 96 I sold my SNES and the 75 games I had for it in order to buy the N64 and Mario, while it was good I hated that system and regretted getting rid of SNES collection. In order to play one game.
I did the same thing! Biggest regret of my gaming life. I did enjoy the N64, but the two games I got for it at launch did not make up for the 40 SNES games I had to trade in. But they sold me on the marketing: "It's 64 Bits!!" And my immature brain thought: '64 is four times as much as 16, so it must be four times as good.'
Derek Padula Sorry lad more for what I did and I hoped no one else did. At least some can be recovered these day, by digital means, yet some are lost to the ages or eBay.
I enjoyed the N64 but man, the releases were slow as fuuuuu compared to the ps1. I was so jealous of the sheer amount of games in the play station section.
Dude I loved Two Towers! I thought it was fun. But Return of the King was way better.
Same
Likewise
I have to agree!
Aww man I loved those EA LOTR games when I was 10 when they came out hahah. Played it a lot with my friends co-op back then, because we were just way into those movies.
Hey, I liked two towers. Return of the King was much better though. You get to play as gandald, the hobbitses, and the main three in aragorn, legolas and gimli.
Man, that talk about selling your whole collection for a game/system, oof. I remember doing that, but I was lucky and hit it out of the park getting Goldeneye :p
I actually really enjoyed both the Two Towers and ROTK games on the PS2. Maybe I just have my nostalgia goggles on from when I was younger lol, but I definitely had a good time when it first came out.
It's not just nostalgia. Those games were highly praised as some of the best games of their respective years. I don't know what their beef is, but Johnny and Andrew's opinion is unpopular to the point i've never seen it before.
@@albertzinger7132 Yeah, both are excellent. If you like hack & slash and LOTR, there is none better. I'm guessing John just doesn't like games like GOLDEN AXE, or just wasn't in the mood for a slick hack & slash game.
@@albertzinger7132 I guess Johnny is not flawless like we thought. He called orcs "demons" and then says there's "no elegance" even though there's tons of combos and characters, parrying and countering, specific match ups for light and heavy attacks, melee and ranged attacks... All with smooth controls and decent graphics. Impressive for a licensed game
Gotta love those christmas lights reflecting in that genesis unit!
I saved my allowance for spiderman and xmen for the snes. I was so disappointed 😑
it was great to see the story that you have told a long time ago about getting a friend agitated in Double Dragon by attacking his character in it and now have your buddy here to give his reaction from it. This type of video is great and reminds us of what makes video games so much fun. Keep up the good work.
Lol Johnny I loved The Two Towers game, it actually gets better later into the game when you start unlocking new moves and abilities not to mention different characters and levels. I remember way back then first playing it not knowing if I'd like it because they just throw you in an epic battle and you don't know what to do. When you beat the game you unlock one of my favorite modes and its Sauron's Tower, it's an endurance mode up Sauron's Tower fighting wave after wave of enemies picking up small items as you go and it gets harder and harder, if you make it to the top you fight Sauron apparently but I've never made it, fun two player co op
This video is really heart warming. You can tell there is real history between you guys. It’s so fun watching you guys reminisce. Makes me miss the friends I grew up with. This video shows it’s not just talking about games it’s the passion and HCG has it! Can’t wait to see what your channel has in 2020.
I'm glad you have concent where you talk organically and genuinely, showing that you are not only friends but actually gamers. Nothing here is just being said for the sake of saying it. Love your videos.
Another fantastic episode with Andrew! Love the Douoble Dragon story so much. I was smiling throughout the video.
Zelda also misspelled "knight" to "nut": Dark Nut, anyone?
This is a good duo. Fun episode!
Omg, Johhny I have so much fun when Andrew, Rob-Man or other guests are around and talking stories, messing with each other, I love and adore it! ❤
Really love seeing your guests, your childhood friends are awesome people!
I had the ps2 version of the Lord of the ring games from EA and had an absolute blast with them, ashame you guys had such a bad time.
I loved the two towers game! I loved return of the king even more
Thats so interesting you didn't like Lord of the Rings Two Towers. I have very fond memories of that game in my first apartment back in the day. Also has a 87% Metacritic.
Yeah I'm surprised anyone has THAT negative reaction towards the Two Towers game. I can get not liking it because its simple hack & slash but I don't see whats so torturous about it.
@@spawncalibur1022 It was that we couldn't get past that auto-death-if-you're-not-fast-enough escape level! And once the music latched in our brains as its own theme song, the game was forever encoded into our gamer DNA as something we hate (justifiably or not).
@@hippolewis2513 I don't even remember an autodeath level in Two Towers
Man, I still love the LotR movie games. Take me right back to those days
Lunar 1&2 on PS One are gorgeous!!! Tell your friend to try this versions!!! On of the best memories of my childhood with my best friend!!!
bah. too childish. if you re over 18, its difficult to play them anymore.
John
I'd just like to say, as a long term viewer who rarely comments, I love your work and really appreciate what you've done here over the years. You're a staple of my daily entertainment and your overall positivity (apart from this video 😂) is very refreshing in the community and really gives off a humble vibe that means a lot to me. All the best for 2020, and thank you again.
Lol 10:53 - 12:04 Johnny is still doing this today to his subscribers!! To many must buy positive review recommendations for modern games on this channel, but I’ve learned to just watch this channel for johnnys reactions and feel good vibes, not to take what he says or his recommendations so seriously...
I used to play The Two Towers on the original Xbox back in the day and I remember loving it hahaha
Oh man I remember the Two Towers on the Gamecube. Pretty sure my parents considered putting me in an anger management class after hearing the amount of swearing coming from my room back then lol. Just thinking of that Helm's Deep part where you have to defend this huge gate while getting constantly beaten up by enemies coming in from out of frame still makes my blood boil a bit
Such an annoying mission
Just thinking about that section still pisses me off.
That was one of my fav missions. Maybe you guys just weren't very good lol
I don’t know man I like the Lord of The Rings game
Really on SNES it's terrible imo
Same here!
I had The ps2 versions of those games and me and my brother had a absolute blast playing them, oh good times
Me too
I love this chemistry. It's so pure. Thanks for having Andrew on, this was awesome! Happy New Year guys. :D
And to you and yours as well!
That laugh Johnny does when he asks Andrew how mad he was about selling his collection to buy Lunar!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love when Andrew is at your place telling stories with you! Always super entertaining!!
That’s hilarious. I had great memories playing two towers and return of the king with friends as a kid. It’s been years since I’ve played them. I wonder if they where actually any good or not lol.
Hilarious recounts and song! 😂
Great to see Andrew swing by.
Can’t remotely agree on The Two Towers being a “cheap cash in”, but thanks for sharing the memories...always a fun watch.
The Return of the King game is great!
Lord of the Rings: The Third Age is where it’s at on PS2. I will say I like the movie adaptations as well
Once I beat that game, I thought "Well, I will never play this again," and immediately sold it or traded it in. It was a fine LOTR version of Final Fantasy X, but all the story beats were cliché and the characters were pretty shallow LOTR main storyline clones. The Balrog fight was amazing though, and still the only real fond memory I have of the game.
Rocky_Persinger I remember playing the hell out of that game on the Xbox, finished it. Absolutely loved it, very cool game.
One of the most underrated games of all time imo. Nobody ever talks about it but ilo it's brilliant. Sure its a copy of FFX, but what the hell. If you're gonna copy, take from the greats! It had an even better leveling and combat system imo. So fun to learn skills. I despise grinding but the Third Age is one of those 1 in a 1000 games that I will grind just for the sake of it, cause it's so fun
Man, I can't wait to be doing this with my friends in a couple years.
I had LotR Return of the King in PS2 and thought it was awesome.
I used to love Zillion II on my wonderful Master System, i never ever played Zillion I, might get it in the future:-))
Also enjoyed Zillion II and was a sucker for hard/difficult games, so such as first levels they talk about wasn't bothering me
@@sergeleon1163 MeToo
Me too. I thought it's decent.
Zillion 2 was not nearly as bad as they said. Zillion 1 is very Metroid like and worth playing.
I liked Zillion II as well, although I did have to persevere the first level too. After that you just get the game and there is fun to be had. The first Zillion though is better.
Randomly watching some HCG episodes and stumbled across this one. Before watching, figured I’d mention that I own both those shirts you guys are wearing. Awesome lol
That's how we got stuff back then ^_^ Music, Movies, Games.. Look at box, read title, look at price.. "yeah that sounds and looks cool".. That's how I got my youthanasia album with megadeth, boy was my intuition spot on! :D
Favorite megadeth album!
Loved this episode lol if anyone brought games back then they would understand the pain lol 👍❤️
Hey Johnny and Andrew. I spent hours drawing out and mapping all of the world of Simons Quest, i loved that game. But, like you I literally confronted a brick wall ( or rock cliff in this instance) and was unable to proceed. I evently got the idea of going into Coles bookstore and searching through a Nintendo hint book. "Oh yeah, equip the red crystal and kneel in front of a cliff for 10 sec", why didn't I think of that, how obvious. Still love the game to this day though, very nostalgic.
Cryptic af
That was funny. I have a few of these games, I'm sure we all do lol!
And that song at the end... loved it ;)
I loved that LoTR game! Haha
OMG seriously!? I felt you on Lunar after you discussed selling your collection to get it, but the Lord of the Rings hack n' slash games were some of my favorites from back when I was younger lol
that lotr game is one of my favorites lol me and my brother put 100+ hours in the third one
@3:20...”you knew within 30 seconds...”
😂🤣😂 omg guys I can TOTALLY relate! I’m the same age as you and I can’t think of an example off hand because I’m laughing so hard. But the frustration and bitterness in that quote is so damned funny and sincere!! Lmao
Great video!
The two Towers is the video game of my childhood haha I love it so much
All your friends are nice and friendly talkers Johnny such a lucky you have in have them :) cheers
I fixed the battery in my copy of Lagoon on SNES with paperclips and electrical tape, and I still feel like I put too much effort into it.
I had to have a go at Zillion 2 after hearing this. I actually acquired both Zillion games, gifts from a friend, in the late 1990s, but never put much time into them. First, I'll say it was probably the wrong choice to have one of those scrolling bike levels to be stage one. It's definitely tough at first, though easily exploitable. I can definitely see it being tougher for kids to figure out. As for the game, overall, it's okay. It's quite simple. And I can understand why it would be disappointing to those who liked the first Zillion. However, I can see how some people might have found the first Zillion to be too complicated, with all the symbols, searching, and ID card stuff. So I can see why Sega wanted to try something different as well. I am surprised to hear that Andrew hated the game almost right away. Back in those days, when getting games was somewhat rare, it was common to go back to playing after a poor first impression to find something fun in it, or to just adapt to what it requires. I've had plenty of occasions when I'd get games and would think it was not so good or too hard as a first impression, but going back to it later in the day or the next day provided a different experience. Then again, I definitely owned and rented games that I never liked, so that happens too.
Reminds me of when I lent out TMNT 2 The Arcade Game (NES) for Millon's Secret Castle. Instant regret.
Am I tripping or.... isn’t there a good LOTR game on the GameCube or Xbox? I remember playing one and loving it so much. It can’t be the one they’re talking about can it? 🤔🤔🤔🤔
All the LotR games of the PS2 era were amazing. Two Towers, Return of the King and Third Age. Plus if you played on PC you had Battle for Middle Earth 1 & 2. Even Tactics was kinda fun. The only sucky one was the Fellowship of the Ring.
Monster Madness: Battle for Suburbia was thrown, plus the controller was smashed.
wow didn't expect LOTR on here!
Just out of curiosity, why did you get the CDX if you already had the Genesis? Or was the price back then about the same for the CDX as for the Sega CD add-on?
I just realized we’ve never seen Andrew and Rob in the same video…yet. I loved this episode!
Woohoo me and the kids were waiting for an episode. We were eating porridge watcing an old episode and a new one popped up. Cheers man!
@@InnerRise She's down in the dungeon dude
I remember going to Texas and everyone ripping into me for not saying oatmeal! Good times. I'm from England, here that's how you say it!
Lunar Silver Star Story Complete for the PS is one of the greatest RPGs of all time! As with the sequel!
Dude.... lord of the rings two towers and return of the king on the ps2 was a good game for me. I loved the fire arrows from legolas and when he shot two arrows at a time.
I Own Lunar from back in the day I loved it, but if I had to sell my collection at time to be able to get and play I would have such disdain if not hate for it then. (however I was in Jr High when Lunar came out so spare money was more plentiful cause I had a job)
I loved our sub to Nintendo power and I was lucky never having to call the hotline, My Dad was a big gamer and called it himself for those games LOL. (my dad is now in 70's and still plays all the old games)
couldnt get Final Fantasy
I know i KNOW!?
heres da frikkin prob! After dude builds the Giant Tank, stops!? Why, you had da frikkin room!! Lunar 2 same thing!!
Your dad is a legend!
@@Alucah Thank you I love and respect him (more so cause he is actually my adoptive father) even with his issues I love that man.
@@priestmorrison6564 uhm not part of my comment but I do understand lol.
Tactics Ogre "We all Cling together?". Brutally hard and frustrating. Ironic because Final Fantasy Tactics is one of my favorite games ever.
Now I have to rethink every recommendation Johnny has ever given, LOL! ;)
I just wanted to say that because of this video I sat down and tried playing Zillion II, I've had the game since 09 and never really gave it a chance. After a few hours with it I can say it's a pretty good game, I actually beat it, it's not a very long game only 8 stages long. You need to play it untill stage 5 at least, you can turn into a flying mecha kinda thing and the game has some cool shmup sections.
best channel Holidays 2019
The Return of the King game was awesome, and The Two Towers wasn't that bad...There are so many worse move tie-ins!
But wow that story had me in tears 😂😂😂
'My Hero' on the SMS.
'Hyperlight Drifter'
'H1Z1'
'RE3'
'FF2'
'Castlevania 2'
hyperlight drifter?? thats probably one of my fave games lol
pez im going to give it another go but with a controller this time.
Was a fucking nightmare with mouse & keyboard
I died laughing about double Dragon because I was the exact same way! I realized that was the first time trolling was in my DNA lol!
I also got a sega for christmas in '89. Was only 6 yrs old at the time.
Once you read up about the cryptic puzzles, Simon’s Quest is a great game
The Zillion series has some of the best music of all time; Zillion 1 was epic and underated.
So cool the Sega light phaser was modeled after the Zillion gun.
Would love to see the series revitalized.
Just cleaned out a closet today and I found all of my old Sega Genesis stuff!! 1st edition console, 2 controllers, 32X adapter and 30 games!! It all still works!! eBay, here I come!! Maybe.....
This is a great gaming channeling. Not just always negative and angry but................not just loving everything because you're supposed to. Just like news: we need things that just keep it down the middle.
I LOVED the two towers game back in the day
I finally beat my childhood favorite NES game a few days ago.. The Guardian Legend!!! Through the miracle of save-states i no longer have to deal with those over complex passwords that rarely ever seemed to work..lol
Thats one of my favourite games aswell to me its just as fun playing it now as back then, im so happy for you to beat it.
Those damn over complex passwords was a curse back then hehe.
@@DRock7977 Hell yeah.. Especially trying to copy them from an old 13in crt tv. lol
Thank you for mentioning the Nintendo hotline. I was just reminiscing about that the other day. Great memories!
My friends and I actually enjoyed Zillion back in the day.
Such an amazing duet! When is the album coming out? ;)
I'm pretty sure that would be one of the signs of the apocalypse...
Great stuff - So genuine - I dig it
Reminds me of a quest I am on. Has anyone ever come across the "Script-book" that the 1-900 NINTENDO help line operators had? I have seen clips of the binder with FAQs and solutions for all NES games but I have never even heard of one coming up on the open market.
Does anyone have a lead here?
Simons quest has its flaws but I love it. Definitely in my top 5 on the nes. Simons Quest and Zelda 2 were the games that sparked my interest in action role playing games.
I didn't own the two towers. But I had Return of the King on the PS2 and I always thought this game was awesome. I get nostalgic about how cool this game was! The combos, and upgrades, etc. Maybe it plays different (looks the same!) but I enjoyed it, personally. It's interesting to see a whole different take on this one.
Zillion had my laughing so hard. Games back then... you didn’t really know till you try.
Holy crap… The first thing I thought of after seeing that zillion game footage was, this looks like moon patrol for the 2600.
Bro, I've been watching you for years! Let us know if you ever do a fan get-together in San Diego! I'll totally be there to meet ya!
Working at the Nintendo 1800 help number would of been such a cool fucking job
Legend of Dragoon. Got to the disc 3(?) final battle with Lloyd. Got my ass handed, because didn't know he had 'counter-trigger' for Dragoon form (and the Buster.)
It's not the battle, or that I lost what frustrated me so much because I have played A LOT of RPG's at that point.
It was the game itself that pissed me off.
So after I lost to Lloyd I finally asked myself "Do I really care about what is beyond this fight?" the answer was "No", After that I have never touched the Legend of Dragoon again.
Barry: Hello Johnny, Master of Knocking Off Ledges
it would be great if he opened that wallet and there was a zillion dollars in there
Wow as a kid I loved Two Towers on the PS2 lol
Andrew's smug face at the last game says it all.
