- The tenth episode.
It's been a while since I've talked about Live A Live, my newest "one of my favourite games ever" from the olden days of yore. Sundown and the Old West chapter haven't got much of a look-in until now...
Time limits. I don't know about anyone else, but they terrify me. I like to take my time when playing video games, enjoying the experience at my own pace. But the moment I'm told that I'm going to be working against a timer, I can't help panicking. I'm thrown out of my comfort zone, and even the easiest tasks become tough to accomplish. Sure, it's good to be thrown out of a loop from time to time, and there's nothing wrong with a variety of challenges, but I always want the scary timer section cleared as soon as possible and move onto something else a little tense. In this series, I take a look at timer sequences in games that got to me the most.
NOTE: In cases where bad endings and scary timers overlap, (Example: Bad ending requires a timer to run out) Creepy Bad Endings will win out, and the video will be a CBE video. - Hry
"Reckon it might be a good idea to save now, don't you think?"
I love how Mad dog casually breaks the fourth wall.
Also, Wild Arms is a classic Western RPG.
Most characters in RPG do that all the time tbh:D But yeah, so upfrontXD
The remake's dialogue doesn'r break it, or at least not directly. Mad Dog says something along the lines of 'Should things turn for the worst, "save" this moment in your head.'
@@ubermenschmexait could work in the context of Mad Dog telling you to save the memory of potentially the last time they’ll ever see a lively place.
Another thing to consider about the chapter is that the story they say about the 7th and the Sioux at the end of the chapter (the one where they only spared a single horse) is true. The game creators had clearly done their homework. Also Sundown's optional dungeon at the end-game chapter also has a creepy time limit, but you actually want it to end because you get a cool piece of armor at the end of the battle that follows it.
What is the Sioux and how does it relate to this?
Granted, you really should make sure your party is strong though, as you have to fight a really tough optional boss quartet at once in order to get that armor (which getting the other pieces of from other optional battles is vital for a less painful final boss)
Nekonomicon Indians. (Or native americans)
Nekonomicon Google "Battle of the Little Bighorn" to get what happened. It's the battle where the 7th Cavalry, lead by General Custer, was defeated. If you're too bored to do that, here's the short version: General Custer dun goofed and the alliance formed between the Cheyenne and the Sioux massacred everyone. And, yes, they really did only spare a horse. As for what it has to do with the game go to 16:31.
Seaside Doe I don't know, the battle was a breeze for me... Then again, I DID get the Cola Bottle from Pogo's Chapter.
When I saw that LIVE A LIVE is being remastered for the switch, you’re the first person I thought of. On that topic, anyone else hyped for that?
hyped 100%
Same.
Ooh ho hooo, I am watching someone called joshscorcher playing the game, & he played Cowboy 1st, & Mad Dog says the b word.
No censorship there! That's a good sign. 😄
Plus the music is amazing & it uses sprites.
Yep, definitely no censorship in the remake. Annie b-slaps Pike the Outlaw, & they're very potty mouthed. It's not PG for sure, so it looks like the game is intact. 😆
Edit: Some things have been censored, but not too much I hope. There's still potty mouthing going on, but O.Dio is less angry about Pike's death or something. The Caveman doesn't say "Love" anymore though, he says "AIII", which is love in early Caveman speech. They also renamed "P--sed Fist"
@taaroan Only censorship I found is that they renamed alcohol and malatov cocktail.
Ever since you showed this game to me for the very first time long ago, I finished the game 100% halfway through 2017, was impressed by it, and now I have another favorite JRPG to add to my list of favorite video games. Thank you so much for showing me it! The influence really means a lot to me!
On a side note, could you please mention again that the composer of this game's music is the same one behind the music of the Kingdom Hearts series Mario & Luigi series, and Super Mario RPG, named Yoko Shimomura?
Yep. She's an RPG music composing legend!
Final Fantasy 15?! NANI?!
I was not a fan of this game's music tbh. I love her works for Legend of Mana and the Mario and Luigi games.
I will bite a bone here. I am not a fan of Live a Live, but I did like Sundown as a character and Oersted. That was about it.
Oh well, not everyone is going to enjoy what a single person likes, that's just how life goes. Nice to hear that you enjoyed Sundown's character for the little time he had. There were some aspects I didn't like about the game either, but that's the glory of Live-A-Live's structure; with the great variety of things there is in it, there's at least one thing for any kind of person to enjoy! I have to say, I did not expect that plot twist with Sundown's backstory at the end. That's what really made the Wild West Chapter one of my personal best, even if shortest Chapters in the game. My other favorite Chapter in Live-A-Live was the Feudal Japan one, especially with how long and epic it felt!
The Qwertynator I like wild west type characters. TBH, he and others in the game could use some more development. I just like his chapter as well due to it was more of a puzzle and trial and error.
Which was pretty good. The second best chapter would be Cube's due to the eerie setting, random game in a game and just you are a small robot.
2:40 _"What in tarnation!?"_
12:18
Oh no! Watch out for that *Gating* Gun!
Yeah, Whois has consistent typoes, especially now with a video a day coming out. I can't blame him. we still get what he's saying, so it's all good.
I was just trying to help out so that he could correct it with an annotation.
The annotations are dead my boy
ShyGuyAnimatedGaming :o WATCH THOSE WRIST ROCKETS!
avoidng and gating at 15:06
13:00 Looks like Live-A-Live predicted Steel Ball Run
XD I watch Jojo/JJBA!
How fitting the character stalked by time limits in both his main chapter and his dungeon in the final chapter (dubbed the Dungeon of Time, natch) is called the SUNDOWN Kid, eh?
Marco Polo Do you have anything relevant to say to their comment, or do you have to shit up this comment sections with your petty bullshit?
Pretty fitting.
Reminds me of Zero Time Dilemma as well and Danganronpa 3 Future Arc. Both had time limits where you had to kill people (well not so much for ZTD)
@@XelchanTheBrave I don't know, your comment seems pretty petty too
@@theminionmemer8603 He's merely pointing out the hypocrisy.
@@danielhernandez2575 understood
There was one time in this chapter I got an extra scene at the beginning of the showdown where Mad Dog seemingly abandons you, but comes back in time and saying something about trying to take off with the town's profits but it wouldn't sit easy with him so he fights anyway. I only got it once and I don't know how I did it
PegasusBrill (Tick Tock) I got that to happen on my second attempt. My first attempt I learned the hard way about the diagonal thing.
Don't you need to lose the battle?
oh shut it.
as if we don't have bigger problems than a "bronytard".
Marco Polo do you have anything relevant to say to that comment or no? If not, please fuck off. You’re insulting average people who happen to like my little pony (such as me). If you have some fucked up opinion, at least take time and realize they’re fucking human beings as well just like you. Fucking scumbag.
It's sad to know that there's people out there that are so angry about the mere presence of a profile pic and/or preference that they suddenly go into a fit of behavior that's far less stable than the very person they're insulting ever will be. Sorry that you had to get bothered by that annoying "Marco Polo" guy, +PegasusBrill (Tick Tock)
Just fight Sundown as O. Dio via Oersteads final story.
SPAM THE GATALING GUN
And said Gattling gun attack was Buffed in the remake.
Yeah, when I fought that guy, I lost Mad Dog to that attack.
I know you don't usually take requests but in Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number there's a "creepy" countdown or timelimit while playing as "Beard" where you are to pick up your fellow friend and run through what seems to be a tunnel. If you don't make it in time you end up exploding in a facility you were planning to take over. The worst part is while going through the tunnel you never really know where to go and it ends up in memory. I remember my stomach twisting when I saw the timer. I thought that'd be cool.
When I did this chapter first time, I couldn't work the traps. I HAD to fight them all off. It wasn't to hard, just wearing.
Dante Clarke Me too. (I didn't know how to set up traps.)
Me too
lol happened to me. It wasn't very obvious how you had to make them set up the traps and I thought it would come automatically.
What you have to do is that you have to talk to the sheriff to tell him you're ready (make sure to talk to Billy first), then you need to talk to the townsfolk who will then set up the traps you tell them to, with each taking a certain amount of time to complete one trap (the sheriff, barkeep, and Annie are the quickest, so I recommend pushing most of the work onto them).
Just to add to the horse being a supposed manifestation of hatred, O. Dio might be a play on the word "odio" which tranlsates into "hatred", but it was most likely just a coincidence.
It's not a coincidence. Odio the Demon King is the final boss, and the final bosses of every chapter are manifestations of him. They all have names that are references to Odio.
Nah, since all the bosses contain the word Odio, which its the spanish word for Hate, and since the final boss its the manifestation of hatred and also the encarnation of the other bosses, i think its pretty intentional
Speaking of the name Odio, i also wonder if the name might not have been meant as a pun. Since "ō" can mean God or King depending on Japanese Spelling, and "Dio" is Italian for God.
And Japan sure loves it's wordplay.
Spoilers Below
Not a coincidence at all. Like others have stated, the final bosses for each Chapter manifest hatred is some way. In fact, near the end of the game, at least in the deluxe translation that Whoisthisgit uses, Oersted describes the power of Odio as "It is hatred! It is Odio!"
No.....Tinker Knight has no idea, does he........ Dont spoil it to him.
You should do a full playthrough of this game one day. Or just show all the boss battles.
jinnoripperroo he has played the full game, if he played oisterd story which is only unlocked after beating all other chapters
Blake Blast I think he meant like, a walkthrough or LP
He made a CBE with everything the game had to offer in it, which is basically just the same thing with all the grindy parts cut out.
It's high noon.
When i saw the thumbnail, I honestly thought it was McCree.
Actually, its 12:30. (An Smg4 meme from the video wild wild mario, for those who dont get it.)
Muk lopatho It's not from SMG4. It's from asdfmovie.
It's not High Noon!
It's Sundown!
No, that's if somebody asked what time it was, and somebody else yelled "It's muffin time!"
3:40 How dare you... You know my mama was an' anima' breeder...
xD_Dani_xD Gaming Ooh sorry wrong person
I thought you were Capn cinnamon bun(They allways appear in NicoB comment) xD
Reno Kyrie89 i didn t know whoisthisgit shared fans with NicoB
Junichiro Yamashita Capn? No they dont watch Git
Me? Yeah
I agree with everyone below; WIld Arms is a good series for your WIld West RPG fix. :)
Git speaks like a ol' western cowboy and it is awesome
9:30 This moment was recreated perfectly in the remake.
Hey there.
Crazy Live a Live theory:
Kato from "Mechanical Heart" is the same person as the taiyaki kid from "Flow." The taiyaki kid became inspired to build robots after listening to Akira's story.
4:58 *Gasp!, DIO*
DAVID4GAMER Yeah every boss of every chapter has the name O-D-I
MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA
WONO DIO DA!!!
ZA WARUDO
WRYYYYYY
HINJAKU HINJAKU, MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA!
N-NANI?
Holy *Shit* , O.Dio's battle sprite is fucking terrifying!
In the remake, they made it so billy can gove the slingshot after confirming you have everything
I've never played it before, but Boot Hill Heroes is a western-themed SNES-style RPG.
I like to think these events inspired Annie to take up guns and become the Annie from Wild Guns.
Dude, if you want a wild west RPG, play wild arms, like now!
I love the goofy cowboy charm of this chapter. And yeah, bells signifying time really do have this ominous feel to them
Thanks man, you made me play and love this game :)
In my opinion the time limit on the last stage to get sundown's final weapon was the creepiest one because you had no idea what you were about to find at the end of it. Speaking about the last stage there is also this "Run limit" mechanic that only allowed to run from battles up to 100 times before battling an overpowered boss which also gave me the creeps. What do you think?
The bandit was felled by a carrot...
Wild ARMs 3 would probably qualify as a Wild West turn-based RPG. Maybe the rest of the series, too, but 3 is the only one I've actually played.
I freaking love that you fell into classic spaghetti western speak. It's great.
Hey Git ! There's a Wild West Themed RPG Game that reminded me of you, it's called Wild Arms, be sure to check it out later okay ?
Wild ARMS is amazing.
Ah man I love wild arms the third one is my favorite
mrsora16 I WA3.
Tidal Yacht Praise Knight Blazer.
(sees the main protagonist)
Me: don't say it! Don't say it!
Me 10 seconds later: IT'S HIGH NOON!
Its nice when games give you a room of time where you can make your life easier
It would be even better if there was a timer
We need something like this back
11:33 and it’s probably for this reason why in the remake, the Gattling Gun can shoot not only sideways, but also across from O. Dio.
When I played this scenario for the first time, I had literally no idea of how to set the traps, and I've had to fight Dio's and his fully gang. It wasn't that hard; I made it in the first try. As always, awesome video, Git.
this boss fight is much harder in the remake..gatling shots is far less avoidable since he can now fire it to his sides and directly below him
Merry Christmas Git ! Nice video as usual.
If I can suggest you one game for the Creepy Time Limit series, it would be the first Narnia game from PSONE. It's a game mainly created for the movie so certainly not a high-quality one. Yet, it features a very effective time limit in the very first level called The Air Raid. Not only the level is tense (throwing you into the action directly) with a great threatening time limit music, it's also frightening because it happened really in history (the unfamous London Blitz).
I wish you wonderful winter celebrations to you and your kin ;)
since it was remade the game does that mean this episode will be remade?
I need to pick up this game. it looks fantastic.
Surprised you didn't talk about the Trial of Time and the whole Jaggedy Jack thing
don't you just love it when your playing a game and you get into character similar to the game's speech
in this game i was very bad with this part so i only got to get 1 or 2 traps done,
but somehow i managed to win
I have to admit that (maybe) this was the best chapter of the game and i really liked the idea of an old-west-based rpg and i certainly wish this chapter was longer, but nonetheless, sundown was an awesome character and this was the best chapter of live-a-live
this game has a lot of my my jams
When I was a kid, I used to face them all at once...
I used to have a lot of free time back then too *XD*
Whoisthisgit doing a video? Check.
Whoisthisgit doing a Live A Live video? Check.
Whoisthisgit doing a Live A Live video on your favorite chapter in the game? Double Check.
It really is Christmas.
I really wanna play Live A Live, it looks real interesting
Because this game was never released outside of Japan, all you have to do is download the game off somewhere online and apply the "deluxe" translation patch, which is the one that Whoisthisgit has been using this whole time! I prefer the Snes9x emulator for it, because ZSNES makes some of the game's noises sound weird and therefore grating to the ears. You can even play the game on console if you have a homebrew Wii...
The Qwertynator thanks! I will try to get it too now!
Play it,you dont will get dissapointed.
You're in luck. We'll be getting a remake.
So the guy just turns into a horse and runs away?
....ooookay
The bosses in this game are pretty heavy on symbolism
You seem to have had a might lot of fun wiv this one!
Damn, I was wondering when you'd do a video on this game again, I love this game :3
If i had a quarter every time a cowboy gets nicknamed DIO i'd have two quarters,Which isn't a lot but its weird that its happened twice.
I just finished live a live 100%(I did 0 kills Oboro)
And all of the optional boss are not hard except King mammoth
And i died a lot during Pure Odio fight
Team 1:Sundown(Leader),Cube,Pogo,Oboro
Im doing my 2nd team which is
Team 2:Cube(Leader),Yuan,Sundown,Akari(Why the fuck not?)
I hate Masaru in final chapter he allways at level 2
During my playthrough everyone besides Masaru died in the battle and he just killed Pure Odio via Tsuda spamming
Next one should be Rampage World Tour. It’s gotta pretty creepy time limit in every level (literally).
This is nice! Really really nice!
Ok, taking on the whole gang without traps is just badass. Most players would take one look at that battlefield and go home.
When I first played this chapter, I could get the Duo de Chico out of the way plus three or four gang members. Later, I could get all of the items but I accidentally set Annie to use another trap other than the Frying Pan, so I had to fight O. Dio plus one Dutton Brother. But just one of them isn't hard to defeat. Got them and finised the chapter, even though I was using a cheat to level up every battle (this caused some glitches with characters that weren't supposed to level up later, but who cares)
3:30
He won't drink the milk because it's green. If it's green, it's not milk.
You have Westerado, a pixelart Western game with multiple routes and a lot of replayability. Maybe you should check that game in the Steam sales. You should check that one! :)
Despite is not a RPG, Call of Juarez Bound on blood is a very good shooter with a good story, and if you like it you should check the first game in the series: Call of Juarez. Bound on blood is the precuel of the first one, and the first one feels very different, more like you are on your own.
Maybe Wasteland 2 should be interesting for you too, but a little I know about that game.
In Bravely Second you have a class that is, in the occidental versions, a Cowboy, with a rifle and sniper skills.
sundown is my favorite character of the game after pogo
me:i see you are a man of culture
3:33-3:40
Sundown: I'm lactose intolerant.
Crazy gang member: What!?
This game makes me think of LISA: THE POINTLESS.
That's probably because of Joel. Joel is probably still the neatest character in terms of concept imo. I hope he gets more development in the next update. That man deserves it.
Bloom love your profile pic.
Yes! That's exactly why! Haha.
In the Switch remake, O. Dio can use Gatling Barrage if you stand directly in ANY diagonal OR cardinal direction from him when his turn comes, meaning nowhere is safe.
There’s a few blind spots, but you have to remember where they are and pray that he doesn’t attack you immediately and gives you a chance to move at least one of your guys outta the way.
I think the more creeper time limit is in Sundown's trial in the final chapter (even though it isn't required)
More Live-A-Live is always welcome
At least Sundown is better than a certain y'knowwhatthathadareallydrawnoutstory.
What
Don’t you mean Akira, the character of the mecha chapter?
XxN1TR0FUS1ONS Mega Man and More The miserable pile of secrets?
@@Dystnine Symphony of the Night?
The Live-A-Live remake is out, I'm excited!
Do you remember that Time dungeon, this optional dungeon also have a creepy time limit.
i probably owe you my entire videogame knowledge
Whenever u make a vid on Live a Live I gotta drop everything I love this game far too much
So, when I first played this chapter, I had little idea of what I was doing, and had no idea little tidbits of things to find and trap with. I managed to kill off all but 7 (Dio included) of the gang. It was a heck of a fight, but luckily his goons were in the way, allowing me to trap Dio and pepper him with Piercing Shots and such. But I soon found out very quickly just how powerful a Gatling Gun can be. And honestly, the 7 was the 2nd attempt, attempt #1 was 9 goons, and I had a heck of a time doing it.
Still, I KNEW there had to be more traps, I just didn't bother looking for 'em, I guess.
If you're looking for a wild-west themed RPG then I'd have to suggest the WILD ARMS series. The first two games were on the PS1 and the games after that were on the PS2. I really recommend the original WILD ARMS and Wild Arms 3. The first game is solid, a mix of fantasy and wild west aesthetics. However Wild Arms 3 really embraces the Wild West atmosphere and is all the better for it.
However I'd suggest avoiding Wild Arms 4 and onwards if you're in a wild west mood. The wild west theme in those games barely feels like it's there and the game mechanics take a turn for the worst in my opinion.
Though you should try whatever you feel you'd like. If you find any other Wild West themed RPGs then make sure to let me know, I'd love to play some as well.
Oh! And West of Loathing is a great western RPG. It's goofy and the art style is all in stick figures, but don't let that fool you. It's a great game with a kickass soundtrack and a beautiful western feel.
Wild Arms Alter Code F (basically a remodeled Wild Arms 1) is definitely a good one.
17:00 You've seriously never heard of Wild Arms? It fits all of those criteria and more, and the 3rd in the series is one of my all-time favourites. Very pretty for a PS2 game as well, definitely recommended.
Almost as shocking is the use of nipples, whorehouse, nude posters, alcohol and more in a SNES game! Whoa nelly!
No wonder this game is Japan-only.
'MUST PROTECT THE CHILDRENNNN'
Back on point, this scenario looks pretty neat. Kind of like a combination of Home Alone and the timed diplomacy sequence in Final Fantasy VI where you speak to 24 Imperial soldiers in the palace to convince them to agree to the truce before dinner starts.
WhiteFangofWhoa this could definitely pass as a M rated game for Xbox One, PC, and PS4. Nowadays it would gladly fit an M, while back then it would have been banned.
Is Git uploading daily now? Talk about a Christmas gift!
I don't know if you have covered it, if so, maybe link it, but if not, easily the creepiest time limit I have come across is in Pokemon ranger shadows of almia, you are supposed to escape from a sinking ship, and have ample time to do so, but if you don't escape, you actually die! Not black out, die, it has a different screen and everything! For whatever reason, no one ever talks about it.
Guess who just got Remaked
Nice vid!
lol, the last video i saw from your channel was the creepy moments of Live a Live, and now Live a Live XD
My first time playing this level I had no idea how to set traps so I ended up fighting the entire gang. Fortunately I had 2 Molotov cocktails so I was able to beat them.
the first time i played this chapter, i didn't know how to set up traps, so i ended up facing the whole gang... i lost, obviously.
RDR3 looks like it went back for the classic 64 bit style!
Can you do one of the game Zuma? In this game, the chain of balls is the timer ticking to your death. The timer can be stopped, accelerated (due to player stupidity), and even be slowed down or reversed. The main thing is to get rid of the ballchain before it reaches the skull. At that point the timer hits 0 and you lose a life. When a level starts, the timer is between 20 and 30 to 35 seconds. So try Zuma.
13:52
Looks harder than it actually is; provided you picked up all the healing items you could and spammed both piercing shot and texas jitterbug, the entire gang can go down pretty easily.
DIOs is so fast at shooting that its like he stopped time
wait is one of the characters named mad dog
brb cracking open an md
Worthless Narrator hope you didn’t use the pedestrians fight each other cheat, or else he’ll kill himself
*P E D E S T R I A N R I O T*
Worthless Narrator Linus of the brothers reed would like to talk with him
And possibly slit his throat
Don't crack open my MaDdOg
That time limit at the start of the video made me piss myself, no joke
Look for Wild Arms... Best suggestion I got.
I think there was a fangame made out if the first fallout as a wild west rpg, but i saw it many years ago, could be a modded game back then. My father played it all day long after work and i cant remember the name
What about getting Sundown's best weapon in the final chapter? It sure was creepy there with its own time limit.
If you want creepy time limits, try S.O.S., Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, and Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter, all three of which have full-game time limits (well...only *technically* in the case of Majora's Mask, as you can reset time).
S.O.S. is probably the scariest of the three. You play as one of three playable characters on a luxury cruise ship that gets capsized in a storm. Your goal is to escape the ship through the boiler room while rescuing as many other passengers as you can within one real hour. Every time you die, you lose 5 minutes and respawn (though other passengers who die are gone for good). As time passes, the ship rotates more violently and the water level rises. Creepy music starts when you have, like...30 seconds left or so, and the water level rises completely. When time runs out, the ship sinks with everyone inside.
Majora's Mask gives you 3 in-game days until the moon falls and destroys everything. With 6 bours left, everything begins to shake violently, the clock at the bottom changes to a timer, and perhaps the scariest music you will ever hear in a Legend of Zelda game plays.
In Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter, even if you don't take into account that you can save your game a limited number of times through the Save Coin system, you have the Dragon Counter to deal with. It increases even as you walk...and increases faster with other actions. It's impossible to decrease it or pause it...only to speed it up. At 100%, the dragon inside Ryu rips out of him in a very painful-looking silhouette scene.
Westerado: Double Barreled, West of Loathing or SteamWorld Heist, 3 awesome western games. And maybe Fallout New Vegas?
the field was in your advantage XD
West of Loathing is out now if you want to play a western-style RPG. Also Wild Arms.
5:32
*JAZZ MUSIC STOPS*
4:00
calm down hagrid
I know there is an action samurai vs cowboy game out there, but not many wild west rpg off the top of my head.
For a turn-based RPG in western style, you should have a look at the Wild Arms series ;)
well super robot taisen og for ds has a wild west vibe to it
@whoisthisgit Like somebody else commented, the Wild Arms games are good, or so I hear. Never actually got to play any of them. Heard great things about Wild Arms 2
Nice intro
If you get Mad Dog close enough to O.Dio and use Texas Jitterbug it does pretty serious damage against him. Be careful not to target any rocks or those get hit as well reducing the damage O.Dio takes.
Why doesn't Mad Dog use Texas Jitterbug against Sundown?
