    I was just informed that Sinatar (whose clip I briefly used when discussing NOB) passed away in late 2021. I wasn't previously familiar with his work, but like Pete Dorr, his streams ALWAYS came up while I was doing research for this video, and I always took a 10 minute break to watch him play. He seemed like a real likable guy and I admire his dedication in grinding through these arcane 3DO games. I just wanted to give my condolences to his family, friends & fans if any of them happen across this video. May he rest in peace.

      ​@@discountfecesprobably has a lot to do with the fact that PC gaming kind of fell off in Japan.
      The lower licensing costs in comparison to Nintendo, Sega and Sony probably made it very attractive to smaller studios who would previously have been focused on developing games for the the MSX and Sharp PCs that fell by the wayside after Windows was pre-installed on most new PCs in the 90s.
      It was also intended to be able to play video CDs, though I don't think that the add-on ever came out, so it was proposed as a really good CD player, home video player and games console all in one package (which was a big deal when Japanese homes are so small and space is at a premium).

    For AD&D Slayer, the reason why you can just choose whatever stats you want is so that players can import the characters of themselves or friends from either tabletop AD&D or one of the other AD&D-based video games.
    ...Alternatively, you can use it as sort of difficulty setting.

    • @EmeraldLavigne
      @EmeraldLavigne Před rokem +58

      anyway, as there's no actual other person, you could just keep rerolling, resetting the game and rerolling or whatever anyway, so it kinda saves time. but here's a thing, some games kind of just assumed you'd have full stats on top of top gear to fight 20 umber hulks at a time 20 times in a row while mapping out, I wouldn't recommend anyone play the goldbox games without full statting everything - also as the computer is the gm and the program is fixed, it doesn't adjust anything to player characters ability - and the players have savegames to work with anyway and the difficulty and all is adjusted to that.
      the goldbox games also let you import your character from game to game as files too. and iirc start over with the same characters(edit: retaining the character levels).

      While I hadn’t heard of any of these games before, as someone who watches Mandalore, I pegged immediately that it was from the Ring people. Like, every time I saw the video thumbnail before actually watching this, I was like “…was there a port of Ring for 3DO? Maybe just Ring 2?”
      Let’s be honest, though: the 3DO is better off for getting Dragon Lore over Ring. Ring is a cursed duology of games that almost should not be.

  • @Hwyadylaw
    @Hwyadylaw Před rokem +263

    Just from the clips in the video, your take on Blue Forest Story is basically correct, but bringing the offerings to the shrine isn't a coming of age thing, and the girl (Suzuna) is his little sister.
    I'll translate the bits that the translation app mangled, with some notes:
    Temuzen: "Hmph, so you're finally awake. Seriously, when it comes to you... you should be a little more like Suzuna."
    Varuerusu: "Yes..." - - (A Latin alphabet spelling of his name could be anything from Varuerus to Varuels to Varwells to Val-Eluth)
    Temuzen: "Good enough. There is something I need you to do."
    "Go to the shrine and deliver offerings for the Forest God" - - (The "and ride" probably comes from the auxiliary verb "kuru" that really means "and come back", or literally just "come")
    "I'm just saying this to make sure: Do not eat the offerings." - - (Literally it would be "steal and eat" or "steal-eat", which is a bit like "sneak a bite")
    "(Helps) Bad" -> (Explanation) 1/1 - - (At the shop you can buy, sell, or ask for an explanation about the items)
    "Fang extraction" -> Defanging (i.e. weakening) powder
    "Easy" -> Simple/crude/convenient/single-use tent
    To wrap up the "go to the shrine" arc: The priest tells you that someone stole ornaments from the statue of the goddess.

      You could argue that CS itself is fairly obscure, so I don't think it would be out of the realm of possibility... that being said, I think you're right and its aesthetic just fired off the same neurons in my monkey brain as the vomitcore aesthetic of cs (and I mean that in the most positive way possible, for both)

      ​@@filip7133I would say that CS definitely pulls from stuff like Immercenary and NOB (and some similarly strange PS1 games. I don't know if they looked at these games specifically, but in terms of actually released commercial products these experimental and fairly inscrutable titles, the 3DO and PS1 are a very good source for inspiration), but also I would imagine that there's a bit of a callback to the experience of downloading custom multiplayer maps and conversion mods for games like quake, unreal and half life and discovering something made by a complete novice that was made mostly to mess around with the toolset with a bunch of custom textures that don't fit and a bunch of odd bits of level design that present interesting ideas in a very unpolished way and feel a bit disconnected from the core concept of the game.

    I also used to be absolutely obsessed with Robinson's Requiem (on PC/DOS port, obviously) back in the day, because I read the Crusoe book way too many times, and this also had sci-fi and horrible drawbacks and deaths added into the mix. You can lose your limbs and still keep going, within limits. Now that the market is oversaturated with survival games, remembering this feels kinda silly, but back then Requiem was big woah among DOS pundits.

      @@Nat3_H1gg3rs Tbh, I wouldn't really try to play a machine translated JRPG or a sound novella, those are story focused games, and when the main experience on the menu is a word salad, the whole meal gets staler than it's probably is.
      As for N.O.B, translation glasses can't do much against a game that gives you the majority of info via a disembodied voice that has absolutely zero subtitles. I guess the best shot would be transcribing by ear and going from there. It also just drops your ass into the game without any tutorials, which means that it's probably following the "read the manual first" design. Too bad that there's no manual anywhere, or even a scrap of info on the Japanese interweb about the thing, besides "it exists", and a few expired auctions.

    This was truly the most bizzare fever dream I have ever experienced. I started out thinking, there is no way I can watch a 1.5h video on the history of RPGs on a dead console. The first few games were so bad in a charming way that I stuck around. When we got to titles 4-7, I thought we're heading in the direction of exploring some legitimately good games on an underrated system.
    What followed was a slow descent into madness that had me asking questions like "what even is reality?", "did this actually happen?", "is this a psyop being played on me to make me believe these games existed?", "surely this is some satanic subliminal message and I will end up murdering my long-dead dog before we get to the end of the video?".
    At this point, I don't know if reality exists. I have been committed to an asylum, but that will not stop me. I need to play every RPG on the 3DO to find the answers.

Instead of requiring player to level up some kind of lockpicking skill (where usually jrpgs don't have levelling up abilities), instead I could give these as a property to weapons, or even equippable items. It is not unreasonable that e.g. a thieve's dagger could be used for opening a door, for example.

    I have watched this episode... about 15 times. It has been the best decision I have ever made. (It has not been the worst decision I had ever made.) I hope you have great success, man! Love your humor and style. I haven't caught or watched any livestreams, though, that's never really been my bag, baby. But I love your work, keep it up! :) I have watched all of your Retrospectives and Reviews, though. :) I hope to see you continue to grow for years to come!

    FYI, Kurokishi no Kamen is the 3rd game in the Ghost Hunter series. Laplace no Ma is the first, however there's two games, the PC Engine game (which was also ported to x68k/MSX/PC-88/PC-98) and the Super Famicom game and they're quite different from each other. Then followed by the 2nd game, Paracelsus no Maken which was only released on PC-98.

    how the hell does your workflow make this kind of content output possible and when did I become the kind of adult that phrases a question like this

    Great video! I'm surprised Star Control 2 wasn't included. It's one of those games that's hard to classify, but at a stretch you could call it an RPG. Many consider it the best game on the system.

      Well, it's a legitimate classic on PC and has been available as a freeware title for years. Incorporating the best elements that were added for the 3D0 port.

    A strange, strange video, that appeared in my early morning (well, very late at night..*) suggestions. Yes I clicked and watched a bit through, but had to sleep. I usually ignore these YT suggestions to lesser known channels etc but, just randomly opted to give it a shot. Fascinating work. The "best/worst decision" bit was quite charming; I'll definitely be finishing this. :) My friends dad had a 3DO very early on and all I really remember was watching him play the og Need for Speed, and no, we were never allowed to touch it or even breathe near it. Probably because it cost him their entire family life savings to get the console and some games and accessories etc. Still, strange youthful memories all the same. Thanks for the strange nostalgia trip into some more lesser known (or, completely unknown*) games.
