    I just subscribed to u!! I just really like ur attitude and enjoyment u get with doing these videos. I can tell u really enjoy it and I love that about ur channel!!
    It also is great to see and hear the history of these games. I like watchign these types of videos for the nostalgic feeling it gives me. Especially to see what the old games were like

    What about the remake of A Boy and His Blob on Wii? That game was pretty good IMO

  • @jordangotosleep
    @jordangotosleep Před 10 lety +1

    This was pretty detailed and damn complete. One of your best reviews, Balrog! I'm actually happy you went with the original as opposed to the remake. I love the remake, but I'd say it takes a lot more curiosity and dedication to review the ancient one. Heh.

  • @TheGreenman919
    @TheGreenman919 Před 10 lety

    This was so amazing! The into and outro were aweaome, and the review its self was hilarious. This is a good sing of great things to come.

  • @Dilbert1999
    @Dilbert1999 Před 10 lety +15

    I have similar feelings towards the original Metroid game, I can sort of see how it would've been good back in the day, but playing it now it's really frustrating.

    • @animedude639
      @animedude639 Před 10 lety +1

      I actually plan to get the original Metroid soon. So did it age that badly?

    • @Dilbert1999
      @Dilbert1999 Před 10 lety +1

      animedude639 Yeah, fortunately I got it for the 3DS ambassadorship thing, the main issue with the game is that you can't duck and shoot, and so many enemies attack your legs. On top of that there are no recharge stations, so you have to find a spot where an enemy continually spawns and shoot it until you build your health back up. Say what you want about Other M, but I'd personally rather play a well-made game with a crappy story than a game where you can't duck and shoot.

    • @animedude639
      @animedude639 Před 10 lety +2

      robertsfunny1995 Why have enemies that attack your legs. then again this is Nes were talking about so its excusable I suppose.

    • @Dilbert1999
      @Dilbert1999 Před 10 lety

      animedude639 Yeah, but it's still frustrating, the only way to kill them is when you get the mine upgrade, you have to plant it in the area where you think it'll explode when an enemy's nearby, and it's really tedious and awkward to use.

    • @animedude639
      @animedude639 Před 10 lety +1

      Is super Metroid any good?

    Really solid review Balrog! I feel like this one was extremely polished and you did a good job of introducing yourself to an audience of people who may not know who you are or what you do.

  • @TVlord5
    @TVlord5 Před 10 lety

    I gotta say, it's amazing how the channel changed the entire feel of the experience...but I still love it. The first season was fun because you were just a guy who loved video games who knows how to make a fun video that still teaches quite a bit and doesn't get ridiculously sidetracked. But the new videos are about someone sharing his passion for games and it's STILL just as good.

  • @DATyphlosion
    @DATyphlosion Před 10 lety

    Great job! I actually liked the intro even though apparently it's "too long." I felt it was just right, and I loved how you kept that last pitch from your original intro as sort of a memento.
    Where did the scene of you licking the ketchup go? o.o

  • @uanime1
    @uanime1 Před 10 lety +1

    The ketchup jelly beans help the blob "catch up" with you.
    When I played this game as a kid I had a manual to explain how you were meant to play the game and what the jelly beans did. So it didn't take me long to figure everything out. Just because you don't have the manual doesn't make this a bad game.

    • @JazGalaxy
      @JazGalaxy Před 10 lety

      Well, I kind of a agree with you, but it's being a bad game is what makes it a bad game. Seriously you can't defend A Boy And His Blog. It did a lot of AWESOME things, but it was a poor game all around.

  • @Iponamann
    @Iponamann Před 10 lety +5

    "What is it with games these days and bad partner AI?" Um.... A Boy And His Blob is not a game from 'these days'.

  • @LavvyWuff
    @LavvyWuff Před 10 lety

    Great review! :) I have to admit, I had TONS of fun with this game when I was a child. I didn't care about the story or beating the game; just the blob himself (and his different forms) was enough to keep me entertained. On the topic of reviews, do you plan to review the remake? I never played the remake or saw any gameplay, though I heard it wasn't that great either.

    I wished you touched on the reMake version a bit too. At least that one told you what each bean did and you had unlimited of them. I did enjoy playing that one, but this one like you said I got stuck in the first 5 mins of playing. Gave up and it hasn't come off my shelf since. I only keep it because I like the cover art. ha

    You know Balrog... WayForward made a remake of A Boy and His Blob. Also, they're having a KickStarter for they're Original IP, Shantae! You should check it out.
    There's about 20 days left and this game rocks. It has a Metroidvania style and the music is top notch! I encourage anyone reading this to check out the KickStarter, and if it looks interesting to you, please help back it. They need all the help they can get!

    I beat this game when I owned it on the NES. I was about 4 or 5, and I figured it out by trial and error and my five-year-old intuition. According to this review I must have been a genius. Or maybe it wasn't quite as tough as this made it out to be. It was a solid puzzle game. Key word there: puzzle.
