Wow. An here I thought ps1 was the worst looking thing ever an ps2 was slight upgrades placing it at maybe 4th worst looking console during that an previous decade
@@myopiniongoodyouropinionbad I'm lucky,I have a tv that was just before losing the cable inputs for older consoles,so I can play my ps4 and ps2 easy on it
A lot of talk in the comments about resellers and ebay prices. I release these videos EARLY on Patreon, if that's a concern for you....So sign up! I have plenty more hidden gems videos coming soon! ;) www.Patreon.com/MetalJesusRocks
love the ps2. that psx backwards compatibility is -HUGE-, we're never getting that kind of treatment again. great games in all genres plus tons of wacky titles. It was the final system before gaming turned into milking customers as much as possible with dlc, add ons, skins. *shakes angry old man cane*
Same here man, only gem of theirs I have is ATL. I love the Working Designs collection of original Trilogy plus spec features/monster arena disc....I still gotta finish 2 and 3 there before I move on to PS2! Dam backlogs-never enough time!
It's so great to see a channel that isn't afraid to let people from other channels take center stage. I know it gives you your views but you are not afraid to shout out others and help them with their own channels. So refreshing and rare on TH-cam anymore.
Tsugunai: Atonement, Dual Hearts, Shadow of Rome, Kya: Dark Lineage, and I-Ninja are incredible hidden gems on the PS2 I never hear get the love they deserve. Would love to see some of those in future videos.
The Red Star was lesser known for a few reasons. The bankruptcy of Acclaim caused it to be delayed so long that it came out after the PS3 had already been released. Also it was never available in retail stores, only from the website, mail order from ads in the comic book it was based on, and at comic book conventions, etc. But it did actually sell well enough that it should not be considered rare.
It was definitely available at retail stores. I bought it at a Best Buy in Tulsa (they had a bin full of copies) and I also saw it at more than one Game Stop. It looked to me like they made too many copies to sell, since last-gen games weren't exactly flying off the shelves. I believe it was priced as a budget game.
There also a version for the original Xbox. It was never officially released because the company went bankrupt, but you can find the iso for the complete game on the net.
I absolutely adore my PS2, it was the first console I ever got for my 10th birthday and I still play it to this date, along side PS3 & 4. Such a marvelous console, would be cool to see you guys covering some more obscure PS2 titles, considering it has well over 3, 874 games so I doubt you would run out of games to talk about for year to come.
Damn I love this channel. I just can't say how much I love it, but it's a lot. Thank you Reggie and MetalJesus. :Hidden Gems: 1.(Kings Field IV; The Ancient City) 2.(Armored Core: 9 Breaker) 3. (Jade Cacoon 2)
I actually got SEVERE motion sickness playing Way of the Samurai 3 on PS3! It was so bad I had to go to the hospital. It was a part of the game where the screen was filled with enemies all around you, and as I was playing my room started spinning and I felt very ill. Took about a week for my vision to get back to normal. So strange because I’ve played hundreds of different video games in my life and that’s the ONLY time that ever happened to me. Sucks cause it was a fun silly game but no way am I ever playing any of those again lol. It’s like when you get really sick after eating a certain food then never want to eat that again.
I sorta loved the game The Bouncer even though people talk bad about it to me it was a hidden gem cause it had good graphics and it had a cool story as well as great gameplay.
I remember some of these games in this episode. The Van Helsing game was the first PS2 game that I played back in 2005 and finished it many times. GrimGrimoire was my favorite PS2 game at the time it came out and Lillet Blan is my favorite character from that game (it was an RTS actually). I remember The Red Star on PS2 (this game was also going to be on Xbox as well, and was to be published by Acclaim). Next episode I wanna see Army Men RTS,
Another cool one is Project Eden. You control multiple characters and constantly move down deeper into the depths of this futuristic city, and it gets darker as you go down.
PS2 hidden gem: Bombastic. A great puzzle game, where you have align dices by their digits to make them explode and then connect them into chains. You do it with use of Aqui, who rolls the dice by walking on top of it. The game has a high learning curve, especially the trial modes, but it can suck you in once you know how to roll dices.
this is why I love Metal Jesus and his friends... they truly love games. I am the same way. So many times people only point out the poorer aspects of a game (magazine/website reviews, etc) but these otherwise mediocre games have great moments that make them all worth playing. Love you guys.
17:52 Renderware is a game engine that was licensed out allot during the PS2 era to developers as the engine made it very easy to stream in open worlds, it's known for its use in the PS2 era GTA games as well as the Burnout series. The developers of Endgame are Cunning Developments.
Drakan: The Ancients' Gates gets no love. It was a great action rpg only on the PS2. Check it out. Medieval weaponry, magic, and aerial dragon combat. The only downsides are that it is short and takes up half a memory card.
Sidney_L drakken was the shit i remember having a glitch in my original play through where the final boss gliched dead and the end credits rolled my friends and i had a blast with it
Loved the more Ps2 hidden gems games video! Always enjoy watching you Metal Jesus and Reggie! I actually work at a small business video game that is 5 minutes from my house. We actually have copies of The Red Star and the Arc the Lad games for Ps2. I might think about buying them now. Keep it up guys!
Cold Sniper well that's a conundrum because if you care about these games so much then you'd likely already have them. If you don't then you never knew what you were missing. (Which is the whole point of the video)
Also I think people are exaggerating somewhat. I got Splash down under 10 dollars. Ju on for the wii I found for 2 bucks in a pawn shop. So sometimes it's just a matter of where you look. Ps2 games are definitely not rare. Furthermore, I had someone give me a genesis and multiple 40+ dollar games for free. I've got a ps2 and a sega cd and a saturn all for free. The whole point of game collecting in my mind is the fun in finding the best deals. Not just sitting on amazon and ebay hoping to buy things for 5 dollars.
Way of the Samurai was one of the first games I played on the PS2. Definitely one of my favourites for the system, it’s fairly short but it’s meant for multiple playthrough’s to unlock all the costumes and swords. If you can find it for a decent price don’t think about it just buy it!
Never judge a game by it's cover. I purchased God Hand when I was younger but was afraid it would be some generic game because the cover was corny looking I guess u can say. Man was I wrong about that. God Hand another hidden gem
Hey, one detail you guys missed is that Spy Fiction was directed by Swery65, the same dude who went on to make Deadly Premonition, D4 and is now working on a kickstarter project called The Good Life. He''s pretty cool! He's also got Extermination on the PS2, which is another hidden gem, IMO.
Arc the Lad: Twilight of the Spirits is absolutely amazing. It's just such a shame that the sequel End of Darkness sucks so damn bad. Or does it suck so bad because Twilight of the Spirits was so good and made it look worse by default? Either way, Twilight of the Spirits is a great game. Always wanted to pick up Seven Samurai as it came out around the same time the amine Samurai Seven did. Nice to hear it's a good game, I might have to pick it up still. Another game that never seems to get any love is MS Saga: A New Dawn. It's a Gundam turn based RPG. I know it's not the best game I played but I love it anyway. I find myself going back to it and Twilight of the Spirits every so often.
Yes, I absolutely loved Arc the Lad: TOTS, I literally DM'd Reggie almost two weeks ago and asked him about ATL and he sent a picture (along with a few other games for this video) with Twilight of the Spirits sitting near the top. It made me really happy lol. Reggie is a really awesome dude!
Metal Jesus I love your videos that you do. It’s awesome that you share old games. I recently picked up a Nintendo DS lite & I was wondering if you could go over some games with the Nintendo DS because I want to expand my collection and I wanted your opinion on the games. Thanks again for the awesome uploads keep up the good work.
Recently discovered your channel. You guys are so fun to watch. Hope to see Predator Concrete Jungle in your next hidden gems. Another actually good licensed game. Thanks!
Way of the Samurai and Red Star are fantastic picks. I had no idea that there was an arc the dal game for ps2. Spy Fiction and Shox look interesting. Thanks for the vid!
Another great video; looks like I have to expand my backlog again. Have you ever considered doing a hidden gems video for the Famicom Disk System? I've recently been checking out the library, and there are some neat, quirky little titles for it.
Long time follower, first time poster - Interested to know more about Radicle Reggie’s time and experience in the military. Recommendation for a future Reggie video... (all the best!!!)
Sammy is a pachinko manufacturer in Japan. They merged with SEGA during the noughties when SEGA was having finicial troubles. The parent company they formed was (and still is) known as 'SEGA Sammy'.
Reggie! I was totally into Spy Fiction because the character designs were by a famous artist called Range Murata. He also did the designs for Groove on Fight for Saturn and the Power Instinct series. You also have convinced me to play my copy of GrimGrimoire now. I’ve been needing an excuse to finally play and you got me curious!
Lifeline.... really dude? Literally the most uncontrollable game that I have ever seen in my entire life, how you got it to work for the clip is beyond me unless you have amazing superpowers :)
Like I said, I was shocked that you got it to work for you so I am going to have to try it again, see if some of your superpowers rub off on me. The one thing I do remember working disturbingly enough was the easter egg of "Bark like a dog" So weird...
Just last night I unwrapped my copy of Dai Senryaku VII Exceed that I had had for some time. It's a hex-grid, turn-based military strategy game that is very deep but easy to play, control-wise. There are hundreds of units to choose from, including ground forces like tanks and mobile artillery, to air and naval forces. It's all in English and is very fun if you're into tactical modern warfare games. Definitely a hidden gem, I doubt many people will have heard of the series itself let alone this particular entry =)
I still dont know what wrong with you people. If it goes up its not metal jesus fault. Its stupid resellers and scalpers that are aware of the popularity of this channel and try to take advantange because they know people might look out for this games. I think reggie and metal jesus are just trying to share their love and passion for games, just like I do and thousands of gamers on the internet. Thanks. I respect other people opinions but i still think this channel should not be made guilty. If do lets blame pat the nes punk or avgn or any other popular youtuber.
Terrell Sparvier that may be true. but what im saying is that they dont do it on purpose. i mean like hey reggie lets make a video to spike some prices on game!!! Reggie: hell yeah!!! Right?
It's more annoying that they are so defensive and staunchly deny that they have any impact on price rises, than it is that the prices rise. It's easy to look up and find pretty clear correlation between prices rises of games immediately after being featured in one of their video's They aren't the cause of the price raise, but they are a contributing factor for sure.
Love these videos. A lot of these games got panned critically but i still managed to get a lot of fun out of some of them. Good to see someone giving a different perspective
I love all the Way of the Samurai games. I've been fiending for a samurai game this gen. I really have my hopes up for Ghosts of Tsushima on ps4. Also, the Red Star is a rad game!!! I still play it from time to time.
These videos are great. Even though I played a lot of these titles some time ago, watching the videos and hearing Reggie's commentary makes me want to unearth them. Good stuff.
Hope you don't mind me adding a couple. 1. Maximo. Great game. You play as a guy called Maximo and kill demons and goblins. 2. Brave. You play as a young Indian boy who goes on an adventure in search of the world beyond.
MetalJesusRocks, fellow metalhead here and love your channel. Been bingwatching all of your videos the last week. Question on the theme song you have, did you record the guitars without a cab sim on? Just wondering because it sounds like it is all haha.
Another awesome video, just so you know, SEGA bought Sammy and own them outright now, and distributed all their games for a few years beforehand in Europe, and some of them in America.
I'm so happy that I'm finally seeing Seven Samurai 20XX getting some love! I got it in English a while back because I was stuck playing an import when I was really young and didn't know how to advance after a certain part of the game haha -Matt
Man, I love this videos so much. I played the crap out of my ps2 (didn't have a ps3, I felt no need for it) and it's incredible to see all these weird games I didn't know about. It seems similar to the indie scene nowadays. I do love the ps2
Yooo! Van Helsing!!! I ayed the hell outta that game and just recently got it on an emulator. It's easier to pl lay now but man I remember playing this game and loving it. Definitley a hidden gem.
I believe the 2d fighting game you guys were thinking of in the same art style as "Grimgrimoire" was "Battle Fantasia" by ArcSystem Works. Great fighting game and definitely another "Hidden Gem" in my book
PS2-Xbox-GameCube period was definitely the best time to be a gamer. Love PS2 and all the great memories it gave me.
Agreed! I still play my PS2 more than any other system I own.
I agree, yet PS1 era is truly authentic.
I agree, even the sports game during that generation were really fun to play
Dont forget dreamcast
90-98 was a golden age, but 2000-2008 was nearly as good. after the early 360 years its never been the same.
Great job editing this video Jason. After watching this video I realized that I have mass knowledge of games that know one has heard off.
Radical Reggie ever heard of hybrid heaven?
Anthony Tosh N 64 that game was such a gem
Radical Reggie I feel as though once you read game pro you ended up knowing alot of hidden gems
Radical Reggie where's monster hunter and the wild arms games
Team Gilgame I don’t know. Where are they?
The PS2 never ceases to amazing me with how good the games STILL look to this day
Wow. An here I thought ps1 was the worst looking thing ever an ps2 was slight upgrades placing it at maybe 4th worst looking console during that an previous decade
Especially with a Retrotink and component cables!
Especially with a good set of component cables!
They look better when I play them on an old 13inch CRT. When I play em on my big TV they look like crap
@@myopiniongoodyouropinionbad I'm lucky,I have a tv that was just before losing the cable inputs for older consoles,so I can play my ps4 and ps2 easy on it
Reggie is such a likable person, I always look forward when you have him on the episode. Love what you do MJR.
me too
He always seems so happy. How could you not smile when you see him?
Im waiting for Joe from Gamesack to make a cameo in his Metal Jesus outfit saying "Did you say Hidden Gems".
A lot of talk in the comments about resellers and ebay prices. I release these videos EARLY on Patreon, if that's a concern for you....So sign up! I have plenty more hidden gems videos coming soon! ;) www.Patreon.com/MetalJesusRocks

It was the final system before gaming turned into milking customers as much as possible with dlc, add ons, skins. *shakes angry old man cane*
Ps3 plays PsX games, but not ps2 for some reason. Ps5 plays Ps4 games but not Ps3, Ps2 or PsX -.-
Arc of the Lad is still on my backlog of PS2 RPGS on my shelf..
Thanks for the nudge, Reg.
Same here man, only gem of theirs I have is ATL. I love the Working Designs collection of original Trilogy plus spec features/monster arena disc....I still gotta finish 2 and 3 there before I move on to PS2! Dam backlogs-never enough time!
twilight is a great game, too bad end of darkness was one of the worst ps2 games ever made.
Same
Play it! For real its one of my favorite games ever.
I always love Reggie's enthusiasm. It's infectious! Thanks for these recommendations!
It's so great to see a channel that isn't afraid to let people from other channels take center stage. I know it gives you your views but you are not afraid to shout out others and help them with their own channels. So refreshing and rare on TH-cam anymore.
Way of the Samurai is seriously a good game.
Drowmerc yep
Waiting for WOTS 5
That era of gaming was experimental, fun, pushed hardware and ideas, and I absolutely LOVED the GameCube in the launch phase. Exciting times
Lifeline looks SOOOO creative and unique!!! I wish more developers would take creative chances like that!
Reggie looks like a god in this thumbnail I love him
wait he isnt a god?
Superhero Game Squad looks like? You mean is?
Teh great Buddha
He looked like a big fat bulldog to me LOL.
@@DVDfeverGames What about Kinsey?? Not to Bad or All the others?!
Tsugunai: Atonement, Dual Hearts, Shadow of Rome, Kya: Dark Lineage, and I-Ninja are incredible hidden gems on the PS2 I never hear get the love they deserve. Would love to see some of those in future videos.
I LOVE THE PLAYSTATION 2
warrior jack Yeah, it's amazing. Tons of games in every genre.
warrior jack what about that guy that legally changed his name to PlayStation2
best console ever
♥️
@@johnlawful2272 That's real
3:48 YEAH DUDE!!

Radical Reggie Ninja Turtles and Pizza! !
Retro Game Players answer your phone!
I came here just to comment this; Reggies love for veterans fills me with so much joy😁
Best reaction ever haha
I love the ps2 hidden gems keep it up
Pretty much the PS2 just has plenty of 💎
J Runn it sure does
Awesome system no wonder it has so many games.
3000 games dont count much for nothing...
Jared Genesis love the PS2 it's my second fav console ever, but PS1 is my fav and is the best console ever made games wise imo
My nephew was born in 1999 and he still plays ps2 titles, thanks to his uncle 😉
I don't have much time for gaming these days, but nothing chills me out more than listening to a couple dudes talk about video games.
The Red Star was lesser known for a few reasons.
The bankruptcy of Acclaim caused it to be delayed so long that it came out after the PS3 had already been released.
Also it was never available in retail stores, only from the website, mail order from ads in the comic book it was based on, and at comic book conventions, etc.
But it did actually sell well enough that it should not be considered rare.
It was definitely available at retail stores. I bought it at a Best Buy in Tulsa (they had a bin full of copies) and I also saw it at more than one Game Stop. It looked to me like they made too many copies to sell, since last-gen games weren't exactly flying off the shelves. I believe it was priced as a budget game.
There also a version for the original Xbox. It was never officially released because the company went bankrupt, but you can find the iso for the complete game on the net.
I absolutely adore my PS2, it was the first console I ever got for my 10th birthday and I still play it to this date, along side PS3 & 4. Such a marvelous console, would be cool to see you guys covering some more obscure PS2 titles, considering it has well over 3, 874 games so I doubt you would run out of games to talk about for year to come.
Do a PS3 hidden gems with Reggie
Damn I love this channel. I just can't say how much I love it, but it's a lot. Thank you Reggie and MetalJesus.

Should get more 👍
yesssss these hidden gem videos are honestly your best content imho.
Good job including Arc the Lad: Twilight of the Spirits. One of my all time favorite games and a def overlooked gem!
Way of the samurai is one of my favorite games of all time.
for samurai fans like me, the PS2 was really awesome
I actually got SEVERE motion sickness playing Way of the Samurai 3 on PS3! It was so bad I had to go to the hospital. It was a part of the game where the screen was filled with enemies all around you, and as I was playing my room started spinning and I felt very ill.

Love the console, keep these gem videos coming
Salokin we will dude!
I love Reggie. He has so much love for games that fly under the radar. I always find something that I've never tried from his hidden gem vids.
I sorta loved the game The Bouncer even though people talk bad about it to me it was a hidden gem cause it had good graphics and it had a cool story as well as great gameplay.
I dont know about story lol but the rest was one of the best on PS2. The bouncer is one of my favorite beat'em ups
Castle Shikigami 2 & Spy Fiction two of my favorite games from years ago - still have them today!
That Dishonored shirt
SUCH ROCKING VIDS BRO! nostalgic games at their best always fun to go back and play some great gems , you guys are amazing !
Reggie: My moms got abducted by aliens, man! Quick, we gotta barricade the house!
MJ: Huh.
Jason is right about Shox. A great game which didn't get enough fame. So entertaining to watch these videos! Keep them coming!
No Shadow of Rome again, sad that you guys are missing one hell of a game
that game was awesome!
Shhh, let the price for that one stay as it is!
Also no genji
Haha, yeah Shadow of Rome is the best. I've gotten more replay value from that game than literally any other game that I've ever played.
Rygar or Gladius? Too much lol
Always glad to see a new MetalJesusRocks video up!
I remember some of these games in this episode. The Van Helsing game was the first PS2 game that I played back in 2005 and finished it many times. GrimGrimoire was my favorite PS2 game at the time it came out and Lillet Blan is my favorite character from that game (it was an RTS actually). I remember The Red Star on PS2 (this game was also going to be on Xbox as well, and was to be published by Acclaim). Next episode I wanna see Army Men RTS,
Sophie Neuenmuller Arbeith XII I wish there was more games about her. Such a great character.
Arc the Lad (PS2) was a great one, thanks for the shout out. Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction would be one I'd love to see you guys cover.
Another cool one is Project Eden. You control multiple characters and constantly move down deeper into the depths of this futuristic city, and it gets darker as you go down.
I saw the first video and had to watch this one too. Thank you for great selections of hidden gems!
PS2 hidden gem: Bombastic. A great puzzle game, where you have align dices by their digits to make them explode and then connect them into chains. You do it with use of Aqui, who rolls the dice by walking on top of it. The game has a high learning curve, especially the trial modes, but it can suck you in once you know how to roll dices.
Great video! PS2 is my go-to console and Reggie's hidden gems videos are killer!
Dragon's Crown is what u were thinking of
J C thanks 🙏🏿
Check out Muramasa Rebirth on the Vita if you haven't already
Could of sworn it was Odin Sphere but theyre both VanillaWare beatemups so w/e
lots of big titty animes in these games
I thought Odin Sphere too but then you mentioned Odin Sphere later on.Is it Princess Crown for the Sega Saturn you were thinking of?
way of the samurai was one of my FAVOURITE games growing up. That and the Tenchu games.
Prepare to have your eBay search open before the prices increase
Edmundo studios if prices raised, that probably happened already as Jason’s Patreons have early access to videos
Radical Reggie Maybe
better be quick
Jerome VV we've seen Reggies house dude. He's not exactly living like Jenna Marbles.
the problem is actualy People rushing on 3bay this is why the price go up as hell .
Man van helsing is one of my favorite movies ever just picked up a copy at a thrift store. Prolly watched it 100 times as a kid.
this is why I love Metal Jesus and his friends... they truly love games. I am the same way. So many times people only point out the poorer aspects of a game (magazine/website reviews, etc) but these otherwise mediocre games have great moments that make them all worth playing. Love you guys.
I very much like the informative mustache'd black man, and the enthusiastic long haired, goatee'd white man! I also very much enjoyed this video!

how is it racist? reggie is black, metal jesus is white. these are facts.

Yes that is one game I used to love that no one talks about as far as I can tell....maybe it hasn't aged so well.
Wasnt easy drakan
Loved the more Ps2 hidden gems games video! Always enjoy watching you Metal Jesus and Reggie! I actually work at a small business video game that is 5 minutes from my house. We actually have copies of The Red Star and the Arc the Lad games for Ps2. I might think about buying them now. Keep it up guys!
The only game I've heard of on this list was Lifeline. I remember reading about it in a old EGM magazine and loved the premise of it.
Behold! Price risings
Suxumski Maxo That's why people who actually play the games and don't want to just stack it hate that hidden gem bullshit.
Cold Sniper well that's a conundrum because if you care about these games so much then you'd likely already have them. If you don't then you never knew what you were missing. (Which is the whole point of the video)
ataridc These games are not hidden. They are well known.
Cold Sniper and the ps2 is like 18 years old so I assume you have these well known (to you) games already
Also I think people are exaggerating somewhat. I got Splash down under 10 dollars. Ju on for the wii I found for 2 bucks in a pawn shop. So sometimes it's just a matter of where you look. Ps2 games are definitely not rare.

Never judge a game by it's cover. I purchased God Hand when I was younger but was afraid it would be some generic game because the cover was corny looking I guess u can say. Man was I wrong about that. God Hand another hidden gem
"Now" it's a common game though, not hidden. Easily purchased for years on PS Store too.
Always a pleasure watching Metal Jesus and Reggie on the show. Keep up the good work!
Love it guys. Always a great viewing with you two.
cambo125 glad you love us
Hey, one detail you guys missed is that Spy Fiction was directed by Swery65, the same dude who went on to make Deadly Premonition, D4 and is now working on a kickstarter project called The Good Life. He''s pretty cool!
He's also got Extermination on the PS2, which is another hidden gem, IMO.
Arc the Lad: Twilight of the Spirits is absolutely amazing. It's just such a shame that the sequel End of Darkness sucks so damn bad. Or does it suck so bad because Twilight of the Spirits was so good and made it look worse by default? Either way, Twilight of the Spirits is a great game.

I’ve got a sealed copy of Arc the Lad. Not because I collect sealed; it just ended up in the backlog and wasn’t played. Maybe someday...
You better get on that then real soon. You won't regret it.
Way of the Samurai is freaking awesome. The 2nd one is my favorite though as they added more weapons and I really liked Sayo's storyline.
Metal Jesus I love your videos that you do. It’s awesome that you share old games.

Thanks Reggie for showing those hidden gems looks like I'll pick up Van Helsing and End Game for sure Definitely looking foward to more 👍

Cir5000 ugh
It's a ps2 game that I feel is a gem. I don't think it saw enough light of day but was a rather fun game.
Reggie is more excited about video games than I will ever be.
And there go the prices.
were you really planning on buying one tho lol
Reggie! I was totally into Spy Fiction because the character designs were by a famous artist called Range Murata. He also did the designs for Groove on Fight for Saturn and the Power Instinct series. You also have convinced me to play my copy of GrimGrimoire now. I’ve been needing an excuse to finally play and you got me curious!
I love Reggies taste in games. I was hoping He mentioned Seven Samurai and Spy Fiction, and he did! thank you ^-^
Lifeline.... really dude? Literally the most uncontrollable game that I have ever seen in my entire life, how you got it to work for the clip is beyond me unless you have amazing superpowers :)
Ken Williams cool well you can save yourself the money and trouble 😆
Like I said, I was shocked that you got it to work for you so I am going to have to try it again, see if some of your superpowers rub off on me. The one thing I do remember working disturbingly enough was the easter egg of "Bark like a dog" So weird...
Maybe your English isn't the best? Perhaps work on your enunciation.
Radical Reggie
You're friggin awesome Reggie.
My English is just fine as is the rest of the languages I speak. This game is known for not controlling too well.
Just last night I unwrapped my copy of Dai Senryaku VII Exceed that I had had for some time. It's a hex-grid, turn-based military strategy game that is very deep but easy to play, control-wise. There are hundreds of units to choose from, including ground forces like tanks and mobile artillery, to air and naval forces. It's all in English and is very fun if you're into tactical modern warfare games. Definitely a hidden gem, I doubt many people will have heard of the series itself let alone this particular entry =)
I still dont know what wrong with you people. If it goes up its not metal jesus fault. Its stupid resellers and scalpers that are aware of the popularity of this channel and try to take advantange because they know people might look out for this games. I think reggie and metal jesus are just trying to share their love and passion for games, just like I do and thousands of gamers on the internet. Thanks. I respect other people opinions but i still think this channel should not be made guilty. If do lets blame pat the nes punk or avgn or any other popular youtuber.
Terrell Sparvier that may be true. but what im saying is that they dont do it on purpose. i mean like hey reggie lets make a video to spike some prices on game!!! Reggie: hell yeah!!!
Right?
It's more annoying that they are so defensive and staunchly deny that they have any impact on price rises, than it is that the prices rise. It's easy to look up and find pretty clear correlation between prices rises of games immediately after being featured in one of their video's They aren't the cause of the price raise, but they are a contributing factor for sure.
Shox was the first racing game i ever played, glad to see it getting some attention!!
Another great list. Thanks guys, I hadn't heard of any of these
Lifeline or mansplaining: the game, triggered feminists would be foaming from their mouths and this game would never get released today.
bad "joke", bud. yikes.
Haha I never thought of that before, nice one
Maybe, but not as triggered or mouth frothing as feminists make you.
Love these videos. A lot of these games got panned critically but i still managed to get a lot of fun out of some of them. Good to see someone giving a different perspective
OMG the castle shikigami clip you showed is featured in a song i love and i thought i'd never find the sample ahaha
I love all the Way of the Samurai games. I've been fiending for a samurai game this gen. I really have my hopes up for Ghosts of Tsushima on ps4. Also, the Red Star is a rad game!!! I still play it from time to time.
These videos are great. Even though I played a lot of these titles some time ago, watching the videos and hearing Reggie's commentary makes me want to unearth them. Good stuff.
The PS2, SNES, and the NES are my favorite consoles ever. The PS2 has tons of great games in every genre.
Ps2 was such an interesting era. Id do anything to relive those moments again
Hope you don't mind me adding a couple.
1. Maximo. Great game. You play as a guy called Maximo and kill demons and goblins.
2. Brave. You play as a young Indian boy who goes on an adventure in search of the world beyond.
This video is legit, all those are authentic hidden gems. I was expecting less, you actually nailed it here.
MetalJesusRocks, fellow metalhead here and love your channel. Been bingwatching all of your videos the last week.
Question on the theme song you have, did you record the guitars without a cab sim on? Just wondering because it sounds like it is all haha.
i could never imagine reggie getting mad 4:04 . Great stuff as usual with this duo
Love these vids. Gives me new ideas on what to get.
Please mention The Getaway!! Such a great game! Awesome video guys keep it up!
Another awesome video, just so you know, SEGA bought Sammy and own them outright now, and distributed all their games for a few years beforehand in Europe, and some of them in America.
I'm so happy that I'm finally seeing Seven Samurai 20XX getting some love! I got it in English a while back because I was stuck playing an import when I was really young and didn't know how to advance after a certain part of the game haha -Matt
Man, I love this videos so much. I played the crap out of my ps2 (didn't have a ps3, I felt no need for it) and it's incredible to see all these weird games I didn't know about. It seems similar to the indie scene nowadays.
I do love the ps2
Yooo! Van Helsing!!! I ayed the hell outta that game and just recently got it on an emulator. It's easier to pl lay now but man I remember playing this game and loving it. Definitley a hidden gem.
I believe the 2d fighting game you guys were thinking of in the same art style as "Grimgrimoire" was "Battle Fantasia" by ArcSystem Works. Great fighting game and definitely another "Hidden Gem" in my book
