Ed123's Retro Reviews

[Curratum]

I wish I encountered Dune 1 when I was a bit older. I was a kid and couldn't figure out the gameplay and interactions and what to do, so I just went to Dune 2 because you could point and click stuff and it was much more accessible.

Never got to play Dune 1 properly after this.

I suspect that I'd be easier to play today for the first time than Dune 2 would, just for its uniqueness and idiosyncrasy whereas Dune 2 was followed by 30 years of RTSs building off it.

And just as an idea, it really is something that fits Dune. Now if someone took it, added depth to its global strategic layer, added playeble battles, added role playing dimension to its adventure layer, that'd be something.

Dune is still fucking fantastic to this day. Not long played through a full Harkonen campaign and loved it.

Had the exact same experience!

Good stuff man

Interesting, yes. Lady Jessica is, erm, carrying awful lot of water there.
With such artwork, I've a suspicion as to what's so "unusual" about that fan remake.

Just you wait, pal.

One eventually establishes a routine, one's time becomes homogenous repetition of the same. Without qualitative distinctions your days, weeks, years melt into one another. Perhaps, as T.S. Elliot wrote, old men ought become explorers.

Never even heard about this "spiritual" follow up to Alone in the Dark 3; good stuff!

I was always worried I was missing out on something by not playing this to the end, because at least it was trying to be creative. Good to learn that I made the right choice.

What the kurwa? 5 hours? Chasing the trends, are we? I've been actually binging your content a bit lately, so I think I'm going to bite that one too.

It's a one-off. I felt like if I was going to do a video on a topic everyone else has done already, it should be fairly chonky.

I was planning to watch Better Call Saul this weekend, but that's nothing compared to a British man whispering sweet nothings into your ear about your favorite game ever.

good job edward i put this shit on before sleep and literally slumbered by the time you started talking about locked resolution options for licenced infinity engine

 

[Jvegi]

Finished it yesterday. Sorry for dissing you on political grounds before, this video was excellent, and I hope it blows up, you deserve it.

It could be longer though.

1. Ed not knowing Bodhi wallpaper was painted bu Justin Sweet - a very fuckin' recognizable artist.
2. "Permadeath is not a thing in BG2 on Normal" - Ed is a Beamdog scum. Or maybe I remember something wrong... Nah, I'm almost always right.

No nie? Ale sprawdziłem szybko w google na reddicie i core rules było przed premierą (chyba) bgee.

The polish version of bg, one 80% of us are familiar with, had the difficulty settings named insane-difficult-normal-easy-easiest. The core rules thing appeared in wnw. Is it possible the "core rules" settings were always present in all versions, but not translated? Is Ed a phony playing on EE and recording over a stock original versions footage? WTH?

 

[A horse of course]

"Core Rules" is the default difficulty in BG1 - 100% damage, permadeath etc.
"Normal" is the default on BG2 - damage reduction on player, instant max hp, instant learn spells, and kills that would perma/annihilate a party member simply kill them (greyed portrait).

Kill yourselves you retarded weekenders
