Unskippable: Lost Odyssey

[FSS-Zilla]

Long time watcher, first time poster (ranted on Yahtzee's Brawl review once, that doesn't count).

This was one of the best Unskippables yet. I don't know if the lack of dialogue helped, since that allowed a lot of free room for interpretation, but this one seemed a lot richer than the others. The ReBoot bits really made my day.

10/10 would watch again. Keep it up!

Edit: Also, I should add that Unskippable is thoroughly more enjoyable now than Zero Punctuation. That's both a compliment to Unskippable and a jab at ZP, which lost it's spunk some time around Spore in my opinion.

Awesome job guys! You are what got me to visit the Escapist in the first place, and you are what keep me coming back. Keep up the good work!

I loved the computer references.

I like of all the impossible things this game had, (the guy not dying from lava, blocking fire blasters with a sword...ect) You pick that he can't cut through the armor!

 

[TreasonOTM]

Analogy to computers = the win.

 

[Goremocker]

lol i love when they bring up the "that was the # time i died" jokes.

water wave tanks. heh

[WrightJustice]

I find this very much amusing, I loved watching it

OK, I admit I have not been liking this series of late. It seems to have gotten stale a couple months back. The last thing I distinctly remember laughing at was the Giant Artichoke not being "lightly simmered", which still gets me every time. But this... this was good. I laughed again, finally. It helps that this cutscene was thoroughly ludicrous all by itself -- I mean, what the hell HAPPENED anyway? -- but the running gag about ones and zeroes and the HAL references really made this. Also, "the fourth time I died." Pfffff!

I love the game, but like the opening of Eternal Sonata, this was one DAMN silly cutscene. The good thing about Lost Odyssey though, is once you can take control of the main character he's still just as powerful.

So fuckin' ridiculous cutscene, that's what I hate about Japanese games. Yes, of course you can block a twin-linked flamethrower with a sword *rolleyes*

Twin-linked? Warhammer 40k reference? 'Cuz I don't remember any twin-linked flamers in that game.

As for this one, I agree. That has to be the most ridiculous looking battle I've ever seen. The silly hats (ZP anyone?) just had me laughing.

And yes, those siege weapons are quite impractical. Then again, all siege weapons are impractical unless being used for a, oh, I dunno, SIEGE.

Can't wait for next week's Unskippable.

 

[Duh]

One of your guys' best, I must say!

 

[neolode]

Oh noes poor 1's and 0's...
... on the other hand those bastards make may computer crash !!DIE BITCHES!!

 

[Ursus Astrorum]

I will never look at my computer the same way again... Great vid, guys.

 

[Mephisteus]

In my humble opinion, one of the best yet Maybe cause I actually knew the game

Awesome work

 

[dalek sec]

The reboot jokes were the best, nice touch guys!
