Join Johnny Millenium The Happy Console Gamer as he discusses new video games and reviews forgotten games that not many people know about but should! - Hry
RIP Yoshitaka Murayama, creator of Suikoden. ❤ So many lasting memories thanks to his works. Really enjoying Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes so far.
supposed to be a good spiritual sequal to suikoden .. the localisation is aparently somewhat janky in places
Finally busted out the PSP and started the first Trails in the Sky game. 40 hours in; wish me luck on the Trails journey!
Are you going to play all of them? How do you like it so far?
@snowenn Goal is to eventually play them all, though it may take a few years to catch up!
I am enjoying the first one's world building and story, especially knowing that it sets the stage. A little dated mechanically, but it's nothing I haven't pushed through before.
@@retromillennialgamer93 We're kind of in the same boat then! I started my Trails journey last year and played the 3 Sky games. I bought all of the other ones (up to Reverie), but then I needed a small break and somehow other games have pushed Trails further and further into the backlog. But I do plan to play at least Zero (and knowing Trails and its cliffhangers, probably Azure as well) this year.
@snowenn It has been an on and off journey for me as well, but I do still keep finding myself coming back. Best of luck on your Trails journey too!
I'm 80 hours into Unicorn Overlord and lovin' it.
I just started playing Stellar Blade and I am really enjoying it. After hearing how much you liked Sand Land I want to get around to playing that as well.
I'm loving Eiyuden Chronicle so far.
Suikoden II became one of my all-time favorite games when I first played it back in the early 00s.
So glad to see this game after so many years.
Final Fantasy Crisis Core Reunion finally clicked for me and I have been blasting through it getting everything done. Having so much fun revisiting this old game.
I’m playing panzer dragoon remake, Tears of the Kingdom, Vandal Hearts, Sonic Superstars snd Cybershadow
Cybershadow is such an excellent game. I am not much into retro pixelart games but i had such a great time finishing Cybershadow.
I wish they'd port the Panzer Dragoon Remake over to PSVR2, including the latest House of the Dead remake. The latter doesn't play properly with the Duel Sense's Gyro motion, since there's no reference/sensor bar. The Cross hair always drifts and loses accuracy, which forces you to press a stupid button to realign the cross hair, which breaks the experience.
Sure you can play it with an analog stick, but it's terrible compared to using a light gun or a Wii remote, so why even bother? VR however would totally rectify that and then some! ;)
@@80sHolic7 I wish they would I can’t play it VR makes me sick but I would love them to remake I’d buy it to support them so they could remake Zwei and Saga and Orta, we need more from that series, bring it out on everything.
Playing Granblue Fantasy Relink. What an absolute gem. The time and care they put into this game really shows. I almost passed this one by and now it is a contender for my GOTY. If you haven’t already played it, I think you’d love this one Johnny.
He made a video around it's release date
Got a physical copy of granblue fantasy. I heard the physical is going to end up becoming a rare game to find. Although I haven't gotten more than about an hour or so into it, I can tell it's truly going to be a special game and want to give it the proper attention it deserves. I'll probably be diving into it right after playing Eiyuden Chronicle :D
@@jb0258jrMight even want to pick up that collector’s edition then as this one is likely to be very collectible.
@@velosiped135what makes you think it will be highly collectible? Very interested in that take.
Just starting it today, super excited.
Well, I just finished FF7. I know I'm way late to this game but it was one of the most remarkable experiences I've ever had playing a video game.
The OG or the Remake?
@@rogerx1258 The original. I have the remake but I'mma give the game some space before I play the remakes.
@@TFAHound I played FF7 for the first time back in 1998 (and yep, still one of the most memorable gaming experiences I've ever had), but I'm going to play FF9 for the first time tonight, so I can't say I'm really ahead of you.
@@TFAHound FF7 is a very special game and from what I can see the Remake didn't capture that at all. That is why I played the Original instead again and loved it.
Playing Persona 3 Reload on the PS5, Nearly finished Xenoblade 3 on the switch. Loving both. I love the sound of sand land
Reminds me of 2021 when covid was still a problem. Got to play persona 3 psp and xenoblade chronicles on wii that Spring. One of my greatest gaming years!
Im a dad of two and just got back from my lads 4th birthday party. Booted up my consoles and saw tour video was uploaded. Bloody Love you and Kim, Johnny. Love from a 48 yo gamer in Ireland 💚
Happy birthday to your son. 👍
@@meatball5336 very kind sir. I will be sure to tell him 👍
Every time I watch your episodes I learn something new. I didn't even know the Polymega existed or what it could do. After watching your episode, it's clear that this is a revolution in preserving physical media to play.
Wow, this episode was great.
I can't wait to see what type of footage you capture with the Polymega.
Thank you for another wonderful episode and Sunday morning.
Grateful.
yeah, not very good marketing, this is the first i'm hearing of it as well. i think i broke my retron 5s ability to play NES games so maybe this is something i should look into. (i put a game in that for some reason had tinfoil stuffed in the end of it! it destroyed the contacts of the retron5 :( i dont think i can repair them)
The Polymega is extremely overpriced for what it does.
@@linkvagar2336 yeah....its truly expensive imo, 600 Euro here..ppfffff
Same...before this video, never heard about Polymega ....
How is the Polymega doing anything (much less a revolution) to preserve physical media?
I am approx 80 Hours into Dragon Age Inquisition. Taking on side quests means I am only halfway through the game.
It's quite a while since I played it, but you find some of the High Dragons tougher than the final boss, if you are hunting them down, like I did.
@@paulkinder8440 So far had my ass kicked by Dragons. I am playing on Hard mode however.
@MrMattyG Some of the high dragons will give you quite a challenge on hard mode, because some are pretty tough, much harder than the final boss.
I sure don't regret backing Eiyuden Chronicle on Kickstarter!
Playing Helldivers 2, Genshin Impact, amd finishing up Rebirth before moving on to Unicorn Overlord and Eiyuden Chronicle.
My 4 yo son is loving Sandland, and I've been watching him play.
This is where I’m kind of at too. Playing Honkai Star Rail, just finished rebirth, next I might play Eiyuden or Unicorn Overlord… I still have BG3 and Cyberpunk on my ps5 though that I’ve barely played though
@@CubicleJ0ckey I ordered the second wave of BG3 physical copies, so I'm still waiting on that one.
Mario+Rabbids Sparks of Hope. Surprisingly solid tactical rpg.
First one is such a pleasure to play, especially with the OST from grant kirkhope
It's in the backlog
It is a MASTER Piece
Best Ubisoft series imo!
On my backlog!
300 hrs in Dragons Dogma 2. I'm still awe and barely strach the surfaced.
This is still on my must play list. I will get around to finally buying it at some point. Just been putting myself on a budget as of late due to some life stuff happening
You wanna know what you been doing for 300 hrs to have not at least scratched the surface lol. Sounds like your in orbit 😂 sheesh
Yo i*
@@iamlittylee multiple playthroughs, trying all the classes, different scenarios and experimenting how to break the game and once you unlock the other world, you'll in for a surprise.
@@spapa9292 other world???? Awww shit
I just finished ys VI so my weekend was an awesome one with my steam deck ❤
Hi Johnny, my 5 month old baby loves watching your videos. The moment I turn on your video she is completely still and watching. Just wanted to let you know!
I hope the next Dragon Quest game is being made! I’ve loved those games for 35 years❤
the beeps and boops of the old console games give me a dopamine hit of nostalgia like no other
Due to lack of time working too much, I've been rolling a dice every day to play 15-30 minutes of random 6 games trying to finish them.
1. Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 Deluxe,
2. Live A Live
3. Golf Story
4. Mario and Rabbits:Kingdom Battle
5. Axium Verge
6. The main storyline of Smash Brothers
Holy cow! That's a quite varied handful of games! I like it man 😎
You're playing Mario Party IRL 😂 your short gaming time is the mini-games. At least you have plenty of coins, hopefully.
Axiom Verge was excellent. Great environments, secrets, bosses, enemies, guns, etc.
That's an interesting way to pick which game to play!
wish they would release RCT 3 Deluxe for series x or ps 5
I'm so happy to hear more praise for the Polymega. I was also waiting years for mine, but having recently received it, I am loving the ability to switch between libraries on the fly. It's also reinvigorated my love for the PS1 library with games like Ridge Racer R4, and being able to pause and just swap over to something like Sonic 3D Blast before diving into Road Rash all on the same machine is amazing! Glad you dig yours, Johnny!
@Happy Console Johnny you always make me smile on my Sundays thank you
Johnny, your enthusiasm for gaming is such a refreshing ray of positivity! Reading people’s reactions across your videos it’s clear that you help a lot of people tune into a bit of joy when life gets tough, and that’s a beautiful thing. I know you’ve been through some of your own stuff lately, and I’m glad you’re back sharing your passion with us!
Playing through Eiyuden and having a blast
Right now I’m on a strategy/tactical binge- playing manor lords, and I have a multiplayer game going with my brother in WH40k Rogue Trader and Wartales.
I bought the other Eiyuden game on sale, but I’ll check out the new one for sure.
I remember playing Suikoden back around 95/96. My best friend (and next door neighbor) had it. It blew our minds- so many party members to mix-and-match your team, the “base management” aspect of the game was new, and there were so many mini games (like gambling) that you could play! It was ridiculously ambitious for its time and utterly fantastic.
That era was a great time for JRPGs- games like FF6 and Chrono Trigger really broadened the perception of what an RPG could be, and Suikoden was definitely a game that delivered in the following generation.
Beautifully put about Eiyuden Chronicle John! I am playing it and I feel like I am playing a new Suikoden entry rather than just a spiritual successor. The game isn't without its technical issues such as the lighting flickering and some of the shadows behaving weird and the gameplay does need some rebalancing; however, the ambition that this game has and how much it lived up to it is astonishing. Rest in peace Yoshitaka Murayama. You and your team created a true gem.
Playing Eiyuden Chronicles got me back to my youth. Loving the game a true spiritual succesor to Suikoden.
Sand land got my attention might try later. Thanks as always
At the moment, I'm playing Terry Pratchett's Discworld (PS1). It's a point-and-click game, but a pretty good one.
I've been playing Breath of Fire III again, looking forward to Sea of Stars and Eiyuden Chronicles.
I’m currently in the process of installing a bunch of Saturn and PS1 games onto my Polymega. Glad to see you’ve got one too, it’s been great so far!
Hoping to get started on Sand Land soon when my pre order finally arrives 😅
Johnny, i feel ur pain installing a ton of games at once.
I filled up a pair of 4TB HDD for PS4 last year,
and the trauma lingers, lol.
Most were downloads at 1GB/1min, and took forever.
Finally got round to playing Return to Monkey Island which is a huge nostalgia blast for me as I grew up on that series. But as soon as I finish that I'll be diving into Eiyuden, so it was good to see you smitten with that game!
Thanks for another great episode! I also am having a fantastic time reliving my gaming memories on the polymega. I mainly purchased it to replay all of my old light gun games on a modern TV. I have been having a blast re-playing Time Crisis, Duck Hunt, House of the Dead, point blank, Hogans Alley, and so many others. I havent had the time to install my entire collection yet, but I am going to take a week off this summer and hopefully get it done. Take Care!!
I played the first few hours of Eiyiden Chronicles. I was surprised at the slow start and heavy dialogue at the start of the game. Great music and combat! I do like it, but I’ll go back to it. I’m near the end of Sea of Stars right now. As a collector of many different older systems the Polymega is very tempting. I’m looking forward to your deeper dives of older games. Great video! Sundays are always better with your content.
I’m playing vampire hunter D on ps1, sin and punishment on Wii, and street fighter 6 still lol
Nice! I love VHD on PSX, I play through it 1-2 times a year. Kinda jank but pretty solid once you get the controls down.
I found VHD unplayable so settled for watching a CZcams playthrough, as a huge fan of VHD had to be done 👍🏻
When will we get another anime!?
Woah! I didn’t know Johnny was int Poly-Mega-amory!
HOW HAVE I NOT HEARD OF Eiyuden Chronicles!!!! That game looks amazing.
I am currently working through Shenmue 3. Still in the village. Came close to quitting but I’m going to stick it out.
I just started the original FF7 for the very first time and loving it so far! It holds up so well even after 27 years, it released the year I was also born 1997 which was funny to me 😄 Wanted to experience the OG before playing the Remakes later on ☺️ Thank you for the amazing videos as always! Big fan 😊
Ah that Suikoden music takes me straight back
Love your videos! You are the definition of a real gamer. Keep it up!
Finally getting into Tsushima directors cut. Beautiful!
Thanks, John. Great video as always. Wearing my Happy Console Gamer shirt today!
Looking forward to Eiyuden. Thanks for the quick review.
Ive been back on FF16 with that DLC. As for old games, finally giving Popful Mail a go after I kept it on my shelf for years.
Ended up finishing rebirth this past week and LOVED it. And Stellar Blade has me rn. And a little side game for me is RE 3 original playing on and off. So currently enjoying my games rn. Hope you and the family are well Johnny! 🙏🏽
STAARRRSSSSS 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thanks for the great video once again, Johnny! Sundays are always extra special thanks to you 😊🤘🏼
I’m currently playing through Tears of the Kingdom and FF7 Rebirth. Looking forward to playing all sorts of games next, but perhaps Unicorn Overlord to name just one.
Great video! Funny enough I just sent my Polymega base unit back to playmaji last week because while I had the base unit for 2 years now, and loving it, the modules I just bought didn’t work at all, wouldn’t recognize them! Otherwise it plays my disc games great. And I am also playing Eiyuden Chronicles, it’s making my old school jrpg heart swell, it’s so good.
Great video. Playing a lot of Game Gear lately. Finished Castle of Illusion, Land of Illusion and working on Sonic 1.
Finally getting close to finishing Unicorn Overlord. It’s been a blast. Slowly working through Skies of Arcadia and loving it, but my CRT shares a wall with my kid’s room so I don’t like to play it when they’re sleeping which really cuts down on my play time. Trying to decide what to play next on modern console!
Playing through Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth right now. Thanks to your video I just added Eiyuden Chronicle to my wishlist on steam and hope to play it soon
Take a shot every time Johnny says Suikoden 🥃
Its always fun to see what other people are playing. Thanks for the video. As for me, I have been knee deep in the Game Pass Universe. Let me tell you with Quick resume and the Achievement system, I'm hooked harder than Pavlovs Dog. I got over 20,000 gamerscore this month. From games like Skyforce Reloaded, Mantis Burn Racing, Cloudpunk and dozens of other smaller games like that.
I finished Ys VIII, and started Ys IX... then went back to playing Trails from Zero.
I also got back into playing some Xenoblade 3 to start my postgame adventure. The side quests are some of the best in gaming history, and I didn't get to experience the postgame ones until now, and it is glorious.
I love JRPGs, and yet have many on the go at once. I still have DQXI and Like a Dragon 7 to finish too.
I am addicted to Helldivers 2 😄
I have been playing Harvestella, having a blast!
I'm looking forward to the episodes about older games. I love when you have those stories of older times.
I'm not that much younger than you but when kids that makes a difference, not to mention English is not my first language, so it took me a while to get access to games where I would have to rely on more text.
ive been playing eiyuden (and i big fan of suikoden who also still owns the og copies) im loving it so far, its like i was transported back to those times and then im aslo playing stellarblade and planning to pick up sandland sometime soon
Granblue Relink for me, damn the character progression and unlocks are insanity and I LOVE it, all MonHun and PSO2 fans should def check it out!
Happy Sunday morning! Recently began and just finished yesterday Final Fantasy 6 for the 30-year anniversary.
Also, thank you for explaining the polymega! I had no idea such a thing existed!
But do I pursue that or a PS5 first!? 😅
Thank you for being one of my favorite parts of Sunday for another week, Johnny
Big fan - thank you for all the content and staying genuine with your input!
Playing Borderlands: Pre-Sequel from the Switch Trilogy. Only have 10 games left on my backlog, then I can finally rest knowing I got my moneys worth of the crippling debt I’ve accumulated collecting games
10 hours into Chrono Trigger. It's a game I have been wanting to play for a long time. Thanks to Horii, Uematsu, Sakaguchi and Toriyama. This game is everything I have heard about and more, a classic for a reason.
Chrono Trigger is absolutely incredible. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did
@@spacelion4763 The art is superb. The sprites are so expressive and charming, the gameplay and mechanics are so addicting. It's so fascinating the way the story connects all the eras together, and places you were so familiar with like Guardia 1.000 A.C become exiting with just a perspective approach in the middle ages. This game man, when am not playing, am always thinking about it and when I finally get to do it, it's almost impossible to put it down.
@@leandrabarros3582 There are a bunch of alternate endings to find as well and the soundtrack....it's my favorite gaming soundtrack of all time
@@spacelion4763 Oh the music! Sometimes I stop playing just to hear it.
playedthe last couple of days Elex 2 and Spyro on the Xbox and Mario Kart Double Dash on the Game Cube again..
you have still a very excellent channel. keep it up and thanks a lot for your uploads
Keep em coming, Johnny! Great video
Thats me just started Mario RPG and it's been great so far. Somehow missed it on the SNES all those years ago but so glad i'm finally getting to go through it.
when i saw eiyuden chronicle in the thumbnail and suikoden music upon the video starting, i knew it was going to be my type of HCG content
Johnny is a true gamer. He is not one of those console warriors that defend a particular console tooth and nail. We enjoy all games feom all platforms. It's usually the older gamers who grew up in the 1970s and 1980s who appreciate all games because we have seen all generations of consoles.
I'm currently playing Infamous 1, and after that Infamous 2, and Infamous Second Son. Also I'm playing Horizon Forbidden West (after i beat Zero Dawn months ago), Rise of the Tomb Raider, Uncharted 4, Jedi Fallen Order, i can't get enough of Fight'n Rage, Bioshock Trilogy on ps4, Huntdown, etc... too many games Johnny. I have a considerable backlog of games.
great Video like always!! Im still playing Star Ocean-remaster on Switch....i wish i would have more time..haha..damn it..., Great Video, keep it up, love ur show!!
I'm waiting for Sandland to arrive, I always wait for the reviews nowadays, your review got me hooked. Currently (re)playing Shogo Mobile Armor Division on my retro PC.
Recently I've been playing ff7 rebirth and skies of Arcadia on dreamcast so definitely a combo of old and new
Thanks for the great content as always
RIP... I didn't know. Thank you for the information. The game is great... graphics are fantastic.
Playing Helldivers 2 on PC, Yakuza 0 on PS4, and Dave the Diver on PS5.
I intend to play EC.
Currently I'm playing old and new as well. Recently finished the first 3 MGS games again.
At the moment I am fully engrossed in Unicorn Overlord. Hope to see your thoughts on it for sure.
All I've been playing the past few weeks is Dragon Quest 10! Johnny if you weren't actively avoiding MMORPGs you would LOVE DQ10!
It’s on japanese my dude
@@XeikZone nah there is ways to play it in English. Not to mention Johnny has played plenty of Japanese titles like Far East of Eden and such.
I almost got the polymega a couple years ago, but I honestly don't have the collection needed to warrant getting one. I bet it must've been so satisfying getting all those games you own saved onto that single device though.
Started playing demon crest on the snes on Sunday. Great game.
When you first talked about the polymega I looked it up because it sounds cool but then I saw it was emulation and not FPGA. So I wrote it off, but you talking about how you can install your old games onto it has me interested again. I love that It can keep a backup of your personal library.
Enjoying Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes on PS4 and Stella Glow on 3DS.
Nothing on Switch right now.
Just played through Y’s book 1 and 2. Trying to decide what to play next.
I started Hollow Knight again, it's been a while since 2017. Such a great game, I hope we will see Silksong someday. 🤣
I was installing my PS1 games on my Polymega already when I started watching this episode! What a great surprise! I felt exactly the same about my Polymega, that it was made just for me! lol
I have already installed ALL of my games on the other consoles and I'm a mad collector to be honest... Many games couldn't be installed on mine, mostly unlicensed and newer games too for older consoles. Hope an update fixes all of these soon. Keep those great videos up!
I was waiting on you to talk about the Polymega. I wouldn't mind having it. Playing Final Fantasy 1 pixel remaster and loving it.
Been playing Stellar Blade and is pretty good! Hours fly by and I'm so immersed I barely even notice
What a fantastic machine. I'm made up for you that you finally got it!
My weekend has been devoted to sand land. I'm loving how it's expanded on the series while keeping the major story beats. Such wonderful character design 😔
I am currently playing Yakuza Like a Dragon! Loving it! Also playing Pocky and Rocky because of you! So hard so fun! For chill times I’m playing Pokémon Y again. Great for some ing out ❤️
Great video! I'm still trucking through Final Fantasy VII Rebirth but am getting close to the end! Have been having a great time going through it and am going to finish my first playthrough of FFX afterwards.
I am *so* tempted to grab this one. Like you, played Suikoden on the PS1 back in the day. …oh man, but my backlog! In other news, currently re-visiting FF 15.
Only been playing my PSVR2 its amazing! Slowly getting a collection going. Love Puzzling Places and Angry Birds is fun
Hope you feeling ok Johnny, great video. Dying to play stellar blade
Still slowly working on Dragon's Dogma 2. Dude i don't know how you guys beat these games so quickly. Both Sandland AND Stellar Blade? Bless you for rocking them and having fun! At least i can watch your videos if i never get around them.
Man, gotta ty for the super old Xenoblade review with Kim. I finally picked up a switch in January while in Japan and couldn't decide on RPG's. Let's just say we got back Jan 15th and I'm now on the last part of Xenoblade 3. I LOVE the series! Right up there with playing FF7 through first time
Destiny 2's Onslaught horde mode has been getting alot of my time lately. As well as Tiny Tina's Wonderlands.
One thing that has held my attention far more than I thought it would was the built in Randomizer for Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night. Its easily my favorite game of the last ten years and I just happened to get someone doing rando runs of it in my CZcams feed.
Playing Fallout 4 with the new update and having a blast. The performance mode is perfect so far. Haven't had any issues.
I just back into Horizon Forbidden West. Still have to finish the Burning Shores expansion. I always forget how much I love that game
Playing Eiyuden Chronicle and loving it so far. Haven't played the originals, but I am glad the remakes are coming.
I'm working my way through Armored Core 6. I really like it, but am struggling with some of the bosses.
Man AC6 was my GOTY. Just get shotgun. Two song bird cannons and you obliterate every boss. If you feel more confident take a piledriver.
Awesome game.
Just finished FF16, started FF7 Rebirth. Dabbled with Double Dragon Gaiden and Samurai Shodown and now just ordered Eiyuden Chronicles having seen your video
