reminds me when i was a kid and i would play call of duty campaign and multiplayer on ds and i also remember starwars: force unleashed too on the ds it tried to pull the epicness of the story but the hardware was just not powerful enough to give the true experience it wanted to produce like the psp or ps2 version

I loved this game back in the day. What a shame it went under the rada but I get why. The difficulty is just all over the place I liked to imagine that Stan's voice would've sounded like Chili Con carne's brain character

might be a lot unrelated but i'm both sad and furious that the arts of optimizing is dying in video games these days. computers getting faster? okay let's put thousands of vfx and polygons. not only for aesthetic's sake, but also people with comparatively poor computers like me can't even run them for 5 seconds.

A limited budget means the game companies focus on story and gameplay... or just being crazy. So instead of a pretty but vapid game... Like final fantasy X... Wow. I did NOT expect to be that much on the same wavelength.

another banger of a video

My all-time favorite video game! I first played it when I was 8 and I immediately fell in love with it. I've 100% completed the game dozens of times

Things like this is what makes me roll my eyes when folks act like it's a dire necessity that we get AI-generated voices and AI-made textures and supercomputers that can load quadrillion mile long worlds and ensure every aspiring dev starts using Unreal Engine 11.

okage is one of my favorite games

This is one of the games I wish had steam port. Used to play this and Phantom Brave all the time on the PS2.

absolutely loving the amusement in your voice. this game obviously brought pure delight and it made for a fun to watch video in turn. the dungeon at the end was very unexpected lol also the mc kinda reminds me of michael/ryuto from pokemon colosseum...

Okage was one of the few games I rented, because I could never find it in stores at the time. I love it to death, and regret not finishing it. Shoulda just kept the disc from Blockbuster...

I mean... if I was to polish ONE thing, it would be the dungeon design.

Omg the whole explanation and the whole video is so good and so pure and so cute It kinda breaks my heart that I see you being so grateful for every effort that puted in the game, so many kids these days just don't care how it's made and how hard it was, they just watch play and forget idk i feel like these days kids won't understand the true meaning of these, the sad part is i don't even think they would truly enjoy they just got distracted everything is a let's-time-get-past to them, it's sad to think about it but but- but when I saw you actually caring about this stuff, it really rise my hopes in people I think there might still be people who experience and enjoy the things in the world the different way In the end I AM I'm glad to be a game dev and I'm glad that there are people who will enjoy the things I will be making in later on I'm making my game not just for myself, but for you and your happiness

as a game dev I can confirm That I have very little patience for my game and I want to make it as fast and as laziest as possible but I'm not gonna get ai assistance or someshit. I'm gonna make low poly model instead of high poly one and trying to make a new art style out of it. btw my game is racing and with zero budget I want to compete with EA Games and crush their nfs games make something 100x better

Main character isn't that gross and nasty come on

man i fuckin love okage shadow king, glad to see more people talk about it! its just good to hear people talk about obscure shit i know about or hell don't know about, if i could reccomend a game or game franchise that'd be worth checking out.. The Denpa Men series, its an RPG about little humanoid creatures you catch, you form teams with them and get the heroes Gal back. its simple but it has its charm.

I fucking love Okage: Shadow King. I still have a sealed copy of it. It's sense of aesthetics is so good. A nightmarishly cute Tim Burton-esque style fever dream.

I never beat this because my save corrupted. Twice.

Had a n64 first, and at our rental store they always had Okage on the shelf. I loved the look of the cover. Few years later, my now husband got it for my bday, I 100% it, still hate the water dungeon though. Got lost in it for 2 days

nice little video about goofy game I like it

It may have been less about the budget and more because it was developed on early versions of ps2 hardware since it was originally intended for a different system that was cancelled. They had to completely redesign the game for the ps2, so new system and time constraints may be the main contributing factors.

Okage and GHM in the same video? :D

Okage is the GOAT and I've been playing it since it came out. If there is one true hidden gem jrpg, it isn't earthbound, it's Okage!

When most people weren't weeb enough so 70% of the people who had played this game back in the day pronounced it "Oak-ij" lol Also the first time I played it I got 1/3rd of the way through and my memory card wasn't entirely plugged in (since my friend and I were sharing my ps2 in college) and it wouldn't let me save so I had to start all the way over, haha. If I were an animator, a Stanley Parable narrator and Okage crossover bit would be so fun.

Okage is my favorite game of all time i am so soooo happy to see it get acknowledged.

I am almost certain this game had an effect on A Hat in Time. Snatcher looks so much like Stan that it I think it MUST be an homage.

I never heard of this game but I absolutly love how it looks, and it seems the exact type of game I'd love to play. I'll definitly try to find a way to play it someday !

Makes me think of Tim Burton from what little of his stuff I'm aware of. Basically I've walked through a room when Coraline was on and I've played KH1 and a bit of 2.

Limits give determined to seek for a breakthrough.

Awesome channel man, just binge watched all your videos!

Okage is my all time favorite game, I'm glad for any recognition it receives.

My wife introduced me to this game lol loved every moment

I'm so glad someone mentioned this game. I always mention how great it is. I agree with you the game is perfect. The humour is great. You forgot the humour. I have never found such a quirky fun game since.

What a sweet surprise recommend from the algo! I love your barely-contained fits of laughter! Awesome video~ ✨

So glad Okagi got a PS4/5 port, absolutely loved that game.

DUDE YOU WOULD NOT BELIEVE HOW LONG I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO REMEBER THE FUGGIN NAME OF THAT GAME WITH MY ONLY MEMORY BEING SHADOW BRO! rented it from a local rental place WAAAY back in the day when blockbuster was a thing lol. but never managed to find a copy anywhere outside that rental place. time to boot up pcsx2 :D

i'm so glad the algorithm showed me your videos, i just love the format and the topics on games i barley know about, it's very relaxing cause life's been stressful for me recently thank you
