Hey, welcome to the Game Dungeon.

Today we are going to be looking at Heartbound

i hate his voice

I love his voice

Weird-ass games like Spider-Bot are my jam.
Also the Bip-bop saga is great.
Old-ass PC games just hit differently.

Awards time

First award: Fake voice
2nd award: Nepotism
3rd award: Ferret fucker

>>715632628
Spider-Bot!

>>715632056 (OP)
The real Game Dungeon video would be on Breakfast Champions.

Post your most wanted game dungeon.
For me pic related. Star control 2

Let's talk about the music.
More on THAT later.
Awards time!
Awards!

So I reached out to the composer and he actually sent me CD quality audio of the soundtrack, link down in the description

Bump

More on that award later!

>>715635006
Does he even have a list somewhere? I remember Mandalore had a list years ago.

>>715633459
Ross wouldn't be so vulgar.
>3rd award: 'I worked at Blizzard'

AGGGGGH! No!

>>715635006

>>715632628
My jam are boring-ass slav-jank with nothing interesting about it.

>>715635006
another Sonic game

>>715632056 (OP)
What does he put on a hot dog? Or does he only eat Polish kielbasa now?

>>715632056 (OP)
When SKG is done he needs to give it awards like something on a game dungeon

>>715632056 (OP)
>Apparently there's some ARG where we have to fix some bad code, but honestly, I haven't been able to find it

well elderbros our respond??

>>715638720
>game is borderline non-functional, takes hours of screwing with files to even get to launch, gameplay is irredeemably horrible when it does work, may as well have been coded by a literal monkey
>but the atmosphere in this one spot was kind of cool so overall I rate it 7/10 its alright

It's kind of nuts how often the themes of SKG come up in earlier Game Dungeon vids

>>715639214
the jank part is pretty pc/cpu bound because i never had camera failure or dialogue failure when playing the first gothic. gothic 2 had those but very rare
combat is good, why didn't he mention combat animation change with the trainer? was he trying to safe few graces for elder shit games because if he did then it would obliterate elder phonies out of proportions? the jank part were geometrical design though.

>>715632056 (OP)
>rpg maker looking game with so little gameplay it might as well be a visual novel
>in development for over 8 years
>current content can be finished in less than 2 hours
Amazing.

>>715639854
Well yeah, he didn't just wake up one morning and have the idea come out of nowhere while eating breakfast.

love his voice
love his mold

>>715632056 (OP)
Don't forget about the polymorphic on the code cave, you are talking to the real blizzard employee hacker with 20 years of experience

>>715635006
dawn of war, titan quest, grim dawn, serious sam (series).

>>715638102
on his website there's a huge list of games he is/was interested in

>>715639214
i dont think enemy respawning is bad

>>715643969
wtf I thought ross had awful taste but this is pretty based actually

>>715639214
>music
>couple good tracks, rest is forgettable
is he out of his fucking mind

>>715644295
i think it's atrocious
gothic does it best because in each new chapter new quantity enemies appear not every 2 second

>>715641340
Wtf is wrong with mold? My room has mold
It's perfectly normal

>>715645173
nta but I think it's fine in games with huge open worlds since it's very easy to imagine monsters/bandits migrating around and repopulating while your character is spending weeks or months hundreds of miles away. It would be a lot more weird if big chunks of the country just stayed entirely empty forever

>>715638503
That would be pretty cool.

>>715645603
kind understand your point, gothic's world is quite small so it fits.
still only retards play shitty huge open world games.

>>715632056 (OP)
That would be pretty funny too bad Ross is too nice to ever do that. I bet despite how much of an asshole nepo software has been he still feels bad he's getting all that harassment after the SKG video.

*pulls out the cheat engine*

>>715639214
>players can screw themselves in morrowind
there's literally like 2 mobs this applies to in the entirety of morrowind.

>>715639214
>combat: very clunky

You can beat the game with the starting club if you're good enough.

ross is a gothichad

>>715646407
exactly, for some reason ross didn't honorary mention combat animation change in gothic. very very odd

>>715638284
>AGGGGGH! No!

>>715638843
I have a feeling he would have an interesting experience with Sonic Forces

>>715632056 (OP)
I wish he wasn't so bad at games. Adventures he can bumble his way through, but RPGs? God help him.

>>715646407
not in gothic 1

>>715646808
he's less BAD and more extremely set in his outlandish ways and expecting the game to accommodate him

>deadset on playing revenant without magic
>game fully expects you to use ALL the tools
>AAAGGGHHH, why is it so hard?!? WHY?

>>715647478
Sometimes that games are just shit, though, like Clans.
>game gives you the option of having an axe focused build
>your character geared toward using axes is still doing more damage when you just use the sword instead

>>715646282
I know of the faggot wood elf in the tribunal expansion, who's the other one?

>>715647185
not in gothic 1 at level 1 that is

>>715646094
Which game?

>>715635006
See the problem is Star Control 2 is too big. I get that alot of zoom zooms haven't played it, but a game dungeon game has to be unpopular.

>>715646529
gothic controls take like 2 minutes to get used to

>>715649078
>Deus Ex

>>715635006
>IVAN
>Iter Vehemens ad Necem
I think he would get a kick out of it and maybe all 12 of the remaining fans would enjoy the company of newfags.

>>715649496
I agree, that was a bad one.

>>715649182
not if it's your childhood game

>>715649513

Point and Click adventure games make for the best Game Dungeons because most of them are weird and he can riff off of the weirdness, like Armed and Delirious.
That said, Baldies is still my number 1 with his tangent of how to look good bald.

In the timeline he did do a game dungeon on it without any of the SKG drama, he probably still wouldn't like it. Ross likes "weird" and "atmosphere", not "quirky".

>>715635006
not out yet but this

>>715649513
Used to play this during middle school on my laptop. Could only just barely get out of the first underwater tunnel area. I'm twenty five now.

Sup everybody,

Most of you probably already watch my streams, but for those of you that don't I have an announcement to make. After a long period of inner conflict, I have come to the realization that I am transgender. This will of course mean that any further harassment of my person, via YouTube videos, comments in chat, or reviews of my game, will henceforth be transphobia.

I'm not going to beg for you to accept or approve of who I am. This is about me, not you. Those of you that want to spew vile hate can eat my entire ass.

Oh. And by the way, it's Samanthor now.

>>715632056 (OP)
I love his autism

>>715646529
You're the chosen one in Gothic as well
>muh G3 isn't canon!
Was already revealed to be a thing halfway through G2

>>715639214
I'm glad he also doesn't like enemy scaling. I hate that shit, and it never feels good. It just feels like gaining a level is practically pointless in any game that has it.

>>715654756
With Ross's boner for worlds, it probably kills his immersion that he could be fighting dangerous monsters but bandits still fuck him up.

>>715639214
Ross is based and knows Gothic has always been superior to toddshit.

>>715652929
That looks cool, and it actually fixed these kind of resident evil games shitty aiming.

I enjoyed playing Gothic for several hours but the bugs ruined these games for me. I just hate playing with fear that a game can crash or bug out.

He also made me want to play the Crew but the game is dead.

>>715654080
>using comfy game dungeon thread to spread piratesoft drama
Weak.

>>715656525
Yeah this thread was really made in good faith.

I hate his smooth candor

I hate his music videos

>>715657132
insane behavior dude

>>715641340
>A mold spore crawled up my arm and rested on my neck. When he whispered into my ear, I felt a tingle... He told me how to make a weapon to help us against our enemies. And here's the thing... it's made of mold... it even fires mold... but it stings like you wouldn't believe.

First episode of game dungeon is same high quality as the last episode and that shit goes a decade back.

>>715639214
He HATES Jeremy Soule

Me and my current girlfriend met in college because we both loved Ross. Personally I don't care about that as much as the fact she has really really really huge tits despite not being fat.

>>715659871
rule 31

>>715656525
its literally in the op

>>715659871
How do you meet because of Ross? Did you both study biology specifying in mold?

>>715660039
I'd post them if this site wasn't 80% reddit crossposters now. Sorry but you didn't gatekeep hard enough to see my girlfriend's great tatas.

>>715660149
It was a criminal justice class going over how the judicial system operates. I cannot even remember how Ross was brought up I was focused on other things.

it's like you didn't read the OP at all, or if you did, it leaked out of your other ear by the time you read that post.

>>715659150
Ross is autistic about his video quality, even going back to Freeman's Mind. The dude was recording footage at a MUCH higher framerate just so he could add his own custom motion blur in post.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Rtqm8U7CC8

I will re-watch every Game Dungeon AGAIN and you can't stop me!

>>715646808
What mechanic did he miss exactly? Seeing him kill a boss and not get anything for it doesn't make him look bad, but the game.

>>715632056 (OP)
does anyone know if the missing episodes of this are archived anywhere? there's a few ross' game dungeon episodes that reference other ones that don't seem to exist.

>>715666124
Sengoku Rance episode seems to be lost for good.

>>715665521
it's super comfy

>>715635006
I like it the most when he does shit I have never even heard about before.

>>715666124
Check his website.

>>715666341

>>715638843
Sonic heros was such a random but comfy episode

>>715649078
Sonic Heros?

>>715635006
Another fantasy game following WoW based combat. I love him losing his mind when that happenes

>>715666436
Which is surprisingly often. He plays tons of mid PC games.

>>715644741
The man said the first dungeon siege was good he has pretty awful taste

>>715664707
He asked for video editors and like 50 people including me applied and said none of else "feel right"

>>715659871
I used to watch Game Dungeon with my ex. I miss her so much bros

The tangents are always the best parts.
>that whole "are you really astronaut material" segment in Rama

>>715667569
Fuck off normalfag

>>715666436
I think the best ones are when the game is obscure but genuinely good

>>715667616
She was into beastiality if that helps

>>715667518
I like how when describing his fixation on game maps, he describes it as "probably indicative of a medical disorder I'm not even aware of." Like yeah buddy, I think you're on to something there.

I truly am jealous of his ability to become immersed in just about any game he plays. These days I can't even get immersed in the world around me.

>>715667845
>his girlfriend left him for a dog

>>715667845
you already said she was your gf, no need to repeat yourself

>>715667116
The game looked so fucking bad. Like playing a necromancer in Diablo with nothing that makes a necromancer fun.

>>715646282
I think he means it in regards to endurance not applying retroactively to your health values, so if you want to max out your life, you need to have endurance at the highest possible level asap. But even if you play the entire game with 40 endurance, I don't think it's that bad or important, or could be considered a screwup. I think he's being too harsh on Morrowind.

>>715635006
Earthbound for the insane alien conspiracy and americana tangents.

>>715635006
A System Shock 1 or 2 video would be nice. The most popular ones on youtube currently are all a tranny propaganda echochamber and I think Ross probably wouldn't even know where to begin if he wanted to pander to trannies in a video. I'd like to see his takes on the series in the same style as his Deus Ex videos.

>>715668761
Mother 1 would be FAAAAR better for that material.
It opens like an urban legend. EB is more typical jrpg fare

>>715667942
I'm not quite on Ross's autism level (or rather my autism is more focused on mechanics if anything) but I can still immerse myself by learning to appreciate the actual human work that goes into environmental detail
It's actually why I don't care for modern games that are so high fidelity, everything is just realistic slop and all the work is in details that are literally impossible to discern naturally when playing the game
in older games you can actually see individual animated or visual effects in the environment and visualize the human being who thought about that effect and put the time into implementing it and getting it right
playing a bunch of games with the same staff and actually paying attention if they're the same staff and how elements have been carried over or improved also can help increase your appreciation or enjoyment a lot

for example I'm personally interested in the new DK game solely because that internal Nintendo dev studio originally started with DK jungle beat, and then they went on to make future 3d mario games and seeing elements in stuff like the galaxy games lifted from jungle beat was really cool to me when I finally figured out why I was getting weird deja vu when I originally played it and now it's almost come full circle since they're doing DK again 20ish years later
I'm not autistic enough to read every single name in the credits with a fine toothed comb but the japanese seem pretty good at passing talent down to younger developers and giving them a chance to do their own thing too, which lines up with what I've read about the quality of working at Nintendo as a first party developer compared to basically every western studio which drops talented staff as soon as they find a brown person who takes a smaller paycheck

or you could just cheat and use weed, that makes you feel like a kid playing games again and you basically get immersed for free

>>715635006
xenoblade would probably blow his fucking mind
especially X

>>715669007
If he played 2 he wouldn't understand why the swords become women

>>715669007
He would hate it. Xenoblade games are offline MMOs, the type of game he hates the most.

>>715635006
Spellforce: The Order of Dawn.

>>715668761
I think ross has mentioned offhandedly somewhere that he has played earthbound

>>715669132
well monolithsoft are the best environmental designers in the industry
if he can get through fucking sonic heroes because he likes the worlds and scale that much he could get through xenoblade

>>715669132
>the type of game he hates the most
but they're not games as a service

>>715669430
The crew was only short off of being one of his favorite games of all time. I can't count how often he has said how much he hates anything MMO like.

>>715644875
He's right tho.
Also Morrowind's music system implementation is worse than Daggerfall's.
Having random tracks play in a constant loop is not good. Always end up turning it off.

>>715669749
morrowind's music is whatever but oblivion and skyrim have consistently amazing soundtracks

>>715639214
>gothic story
>pretty good
fucking what

>>715639214
>Gothic over ES in terms of music
I prefer Gothic over ES but Ross is off his meds saying this shit

>>715668924
>that makes you feel like a kid playing games again and you basically get immersed for free
I think I've just got a dissociative disorder and hardcore ADHD and they may be related. I haven't felt "alive" or "present" in my surroundings in eons, not just in vidya.

>>715669224
He mentions in one video that Earthbound, Chrono Trigger, and Fallout 1 and 2 are the only turn-based RPGs he's beaten.

>>715670270
I liked that cute little gag in Dungeon Siege where he says "can you imagine in any other RPG where you can just kick the main character out and keep going" while and Chrono is one of the characters who disappear.

>>715666475
they're not there either

>>715671117
I think it's only phantasmagoria

>>715671190
I could have sworn there were some episodes that were sequels to episodes that aren't around anymore?

>it's one of those episodes where it feels like the game doesn't change at all from start to finish

>>715669657
his loss

>>715671246
Could you be thinking about some episodes that cover multiple games that are not referenced in the title? I really don't remember a single episode missing (other than phantosmagoria 2). Do you remember what the game was like, anon?

>>715670260
well I've got adhd, which means I bounce around and lose interest in things on a dime but when I DO manage to be interested in something I become so engrossed I end up literally dreaming about the game because it's all I'm thinking about for weeks

>>715669132
He would 100% deal with the combat and quests for the world and environments. Not like those games are hard anyways like DS where he had to cheat.

>>715638968

I like his dad coming to the rescue with a working floppy disk drive wearing a Civil Protection shirt.

>>715672267
Yeah, I know all about getting fixated on things, though it's not necessarily always on a game. Imagine stumbling around like a zombie unable to think, do, or care about much of anything until you bumble into some game nobody's heard of or you get a retarded idea for a video and suddenly it consumes weeks/months of your life and you start neglecting everything else even harder. I mean, you probably don't have to imagine but I'm going to die living this way if I don't get things under control on either side of the problem.

>>715672551
By DS you mean Dark Souls or something else? When was he talking about it?

>>715673283
That shit rocked. Makes you wonder what his story is. He's gotta be a pretty cool guy.

>>715673617
Pretty sure he's mentioned on multiple video chats that he's run through Dark Souls in godmode because he likes the setting and environments.

>>715660963
Have you watched Armed & Delirious yet?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vrd3YJrW-7U

>>715670072
maybe gothic 1 not so much but gothic 2 and 3 have a great soundtrack

>>715639214
>>715669985
I'm more confused about Morrowind story being "so-so".
Or that Oblivion's soundtrack is "couple good tracks, rest is forgettable", since people usually either find it all forgettable because generic orchestra, or wonderful from start to end, maybe partly because of nostalgia (that would be me).

>>715667587
The best one of all has to be the Hell Insurance part of Go To Hell.

>>715639214
>Enemy respawning
Ross, that takes like 3 days to happen in Oblivion and Morrowind for non-named NPCs (which are like 90% of the dungeon inhabitants in morrowind), and Skyrim has it set to 30 days.
You can also change this to your tastes if you aren't batshit afraid of the console.

I...WANT THIEST. WHERE. IS HE.

>>715674354
>90% of NPCs are named in Morrowind Dungeons
Jesus, I'm bad at writing the thing I actually mean

>>715673386
well uh, yeah, that's why my brother takes ritalin and that's probably why he has a job and is married living on his own and I'm still stuck in the same shitty house with my parents and unemployed
I mean there's probably other reasons but uhhhh
>idea for a video
god I wish I lived alone, all I want to do is yell at a camera about video games and anime but my parents would kill me

>>715635006
I enjoy game dungeons much more when they're about games I've never played and/or heard of.

>>715674964
>videos
You can do a lot of fun and stupid shit with just a video editor, some text and a copy of photoshop mixed in with some gameplay or chopped up footage of your favorite/most hated TV shows. Look at the videos people used to make in the 2004 - 2010 era of Youtube, it's basically just curious and autistic kids playing in a pirated video editor. I'll bet half of them got actual careers out of that dumb shit.

>>715674795
I have one diagnosis on depersonalization/derealization and another on ADHD which others in my family have to varying extents. I wound up looking online to see if there's any kind of comorbidity between the two and it looks like there is which would make sense given factors of how my mind works (always 'bored,' always ""thinking,"") and problems that come with growing up with unchecked ADHD (constant lectures/getting yelled at, constant introspection on why I can't do what everyone else does, intense social anxiety, etc). Kind of just trained to either zone out or obsess over something.

I don't like trying to play pseudo-self doctor here but I've also come to realize that 90% of doctors will throw their hands in the air and go "Gee, I dunno what's wrong with you. Have you tried just being normal" unless you bring something to the table other than just your symptoms.

About to go on stimulants once my health insurance comes back online which worked VERY GOOD for one family member.

>It is that easy
There's a difference between acting normal and being normal. I can act normal just fine, that's not going to help with the realities behind executive dysfunction, constant physical and mental fatigue, focus, etc. And then because you seem normal your problems and experiences are dismissed by the people around you.

>passcode to understanding what and why you are the way you are
Yeah it's mostly being born into and growing up with an undiagnosed neurodevelopmental disorder and suffering the internal and external factors that come with it, then having to pick up the pieces on my own as an adult where people care/understand even less about the issue. There are things I can do to help myself in some ways but no amount of moxie or "get up and go" or "sunlight and hard work" or "think positive" is going to just magically solve my problems or fix the physical wiring of my brain.

Wait what? That sounds out of left field. Are you VH with the black and red title screens on your videos?

Darkstone. Seems like it would be up his alley.

Far Cry 5
A Doomsday cult that has taken over an entire US county via legal bullshit vs Doomsday preppers is a dichotomy thats right up his alley

It's a guy that used to jerk off onto women on public transit. He used to post a lot on /gif/ back in the day.

>Critical Mass by Sean O'Connor
I bet HE could piece together the lore of the series

Will he ever address the fact that he played Revenant without ever using the basic combat mechanics

>Today we are going to be looking at Heartbound
That would be the worst Game Dungeon episode either, because Heartbound isn't even a videogame. It's 99% walking simulator and furry dialog, and 1% "gameplay". Compared to the game it's copying, it's actual trash. There are no words to do it justice. I don't even recommend pirating it out of morbid curiousity. It's a waste of time, a waste of bandwidth, and a waste of universal entropy.

I don't get it

He kind of already did. He went on a tangent in the original video about how convoluted the magic system was. Whether or not you agree with him is up to you, but he made it pretty clear that the magic was too complicated for his liking; I don't blame him.

I think he makes a decent point about how the enemies respawn and the combos drain stamina like nobody's business

>>715684528
Respawning enemies is bullshit
