First entry: "This game is really known for being an epic co op game...", also the Ooze was generally panned by the critics for being awful. I stopped the video after that.

I haven't watched a Kim Justice video since Kim's character assassination of poor Birdo.

I've started playing Grandia 2 anniversary edition.
My biggest gripe is that they've improved the visuals slightly.. AND NOTHING ELSE!!
Grandia 2 is possibly the best RPG ever made.. certainly up there with Secret of Mana and final fantasy 7.

And it wasn't a BAD looking game to begin with. But in this world of HD remakes within a year of the original release This is hugely disappointing.
Before simply redoing graphics, here is a list of things they should have done:
Full voice acting for every line of dialogue
Improve and expand upon sound effects
... Well that's it.. That's all the game needed for a remake!

So basically, they added an extra GB to the size, and didn't improve the game at all.

so basically.. FUCK YOUR REMAKES YOU FUCKING COMPANIES, THEY ARE FUCKING USELESS!!!!

There seems to be a lot of old console JRPGs coming out on the PC with only minor upgrades. And sometimes they are worse due to bugs being added.

They were released within a day or two of each other. Nice timing!

Ian's dreamcast is dead :(
Took it out of the wardrobe, played a bunch of Virtua Tennis and crazy Taxi, moved on to shenmue and it started resetting itself.

so after 15 years, it's gone. :frown:

so now I have to decide do I want another one, try and fix it or just get rid of it all :ocry:

The reset thing? That happens when you don't use your DC for a long time, you can fix that.

Yeah I think I had that problem as well and fixed it. It was a while ago though.
