Unskippable: Lost Odyssey

[Flukey]

Amazing episode. The best so far, in my opinion. Loved the binary analogy, but this whole episode is gold

On a side note, what does it say about 2001 when I get the reference without having seen the film?

 

[Samman]

Ok, yeah, so what was with the lava raining down from the sky?

This is why I don't like RPGs, they make no sense.

The event in the cutscene is referred to throughout the game as a meteor falling on the battlefield (through the use of magic!).

Really, you should hate most games and a number of movies for pulling shit you don't immediatey understand which is eventually explained, as it's a fairly common concept.

It's eventually explained that said magic meteor lava thing was done by the main villian, although i don't recall the exact reason off-hand. It's been a while since i played it, i never actually finished it, and i seldom pay attention to reasoning in plotlines, anyhow.

Very good one, though from the opening view I was expecting people wearing stovepipes for a line, but One's and Zero's works even better! There does seem to be a heavier portion of JRPG scenes, but that's quite possibly to be expected. I would say let's do one for the original Half Life opening, but might be hard to beat Machinima.com's one in Freeman's Mind. Are you up to the challenge, G&P?

I not sure everyone would remember back to Eternal sonata to get one of the jokes...but excellent none the less!

You talking about the puddle joke?

That's the one!

The Reboot references would've been enough to get laughs out of me. Throwing in HAL, Firefox and continuous silly-hat jokes? Bonus. This one's a keeper, guys.

And man, really, who designed those helmets? Did Japan forget that metal is very dense and therefore very heavy? But then again, if you're throwing broadswords like they're javelins then I suppose twenty pounds of steel on top of your noggin doesn't faze you much.

 

[Ryuzaki]

Great episode, it had me laughing all the way through.

 

[toasterslayer]

who would take the time to put a volcano in the sky? lol.

 

[Neesa]

Ahahaa. This was so classic. "This is what happens in your computer when you start up Firefox." Got a couple giggles outta me. Good job, guys.

 

[Aleol]

WAit a second, you can't cut through guys in full metal armor! No matter how overcompensatory your sword is.

 

[Snipingkid]

I would have said, "The sky is falling!" when the lava came out.

 

[Generator]

I'm just loving this show more and more. Probably my favorite series on the site.

 

[Dragonblade146]

Hah.
Loved the whole computer thing.
I died laughing on this one.

 

[Stabby Joe]

Well it seems not only has Lost Odyssey continued the tradition in JRPGs with overly long cut scenes that make the actually gameplay look like a snail race, complete with really unusually designs... but this has got to take the cake thus far for me personally... I mean really, what the hell is going on!?

 

[yeah_so_no]

HA! The binary thing and computer references cracked me up, as did the 2001 bits.

 

[Yayaplives]

yep, ausome vid. one of there better ones.

 

[Pharas]

Awesome.

 

[Leorex]

this one wasnt that funny, perhaps because i played it, and the darkness throwbacks are getting kinda old.

 

[maddawg IAJI]

Well if you count Far cry 2 It's actually the 5th time you died.. or sixth. I think I lost count. Basically you die a lot.

 

[Sageeth]

I was waiting for the fouth time he died and it finally came... though I guess it didn't since it was retracted. The game this was taken from is great but I have to agree that the opening cutscene is a little weird. Loved the Reboot references.
