Unskippable: Radiata Stories

[Archemetis]

Great Episode, but I really loved the first joke:
"Hey Kettle! You're black!"
"So are you!"

EDIT:

Ok I couldn't watch the whole thing, it was too corny and the animation was was last, last gen. Also it was yet another JRPG. If you guys have to review those kinds of games at least review current ones not ones that were on the Gamecube or PS1

As someone else mentioned: Unskippable isn't a review show or segment. It's a just a mockery of bad cutscenes. And, oh shock of shocks, many JRPGs have terrible cutscenes, hence the many JRPGs used. And how cares about the graphics? You're watching it. You aren't playing it (Even though I would say graphics don't make a game).
And it was obviously in engine, not a pre-rendered cutscene.

Ok, fine. If you guys have to make funny videos about those games, at least make fun of current ones.

Someone else probably picked up on this, but it's becoming a trend now that while Games are slowly becoming itneractive movies it's become neceassary for cut scenes to be more competetantly portrayed (admittedly some still fail horribly at it but mostly they're the games no one buys or gives a damn about).

So making fun of older games from the days when "cinematic gaming" was still a new concept is much easier and heralds much finer results.

Not saying I disagree with your previous statement that they should try and focus on recent games, but if they wanna do older games, then that's perfectly fine to, They're the oens who do it for a LIVING, When you start getting paid to mock video games, then maybe your opinion (as well as mine) might mean squat (although in fairness just because you get paid to do it, doesn't mean you're an authority on it.)

Aaaaaanyway!

Great video this week, even if I had no idea what game it was...
Was a bit weird that she would insist on refering to THEIR father are his and his alone...

I sense a "Your sister is really your mother... somehow." plot twist...

Or at the very least "You're adopted."

Enjoyed the Grandia III reference.

If this game was actually a parody of the teens saving the world RPG genre the background music would be a perfect fit.

Hilarious episode. The cutscenes gave you a lot to work with, huh? Not that you needed it, but they were funny.

"Must chicken dance!"

 

[maddawg IAJI]

I never get tired of these vids.

 

[Lukirre]

"FEET."

It wouldn't be funny anywhere else.

I played this game thinking it would live up to Star Ocean: Till the End of Time (made by the same company), but seriously, the animation and cutscenes suck. They should mock the endings too, because they were terrible. As for the JRPG craze these guys are on, I'm enjoying it, since X-Play and the rest of the world seem to go ape*** for WoW, Fallout 3, Gears, etc, so seeing JRPGs, even being mocked, is a nice change of pace. It's also thanks to these guys that I got to see how totally horrible some of the voice acting in the Last Hope is.

Re: Games and Their Current-ness

We choose games based on how funny we can make them. Simple as that. We just did Resident Evil 5, Star Ocean 4 and X-Blades, all released in the last 6 months for 360. This happens to be an older PS2 title.

Basically, we mix it up, and we use games that work. We don't want to do a certain game merely because it's current and end up with a bad video.

Also, I point out again: We've done 16 episodes, with a mere 5 JRPGs among them.
Y'all be hatin' the JRPGs, dawgs.

 

[Eruanno]

My goodness, there are even more JRPGS out there? *Dies*

 

[TheDoctor455]

Great episode. Well done.

 

[Sable Gear]

So many Metroid jokes! Love it. Yes, the JRPGs tend to have the strangest cutscenes and conversations due to culture-gap and translation bugs, so they're good candidates for mocking commentary. I actually want to play a lot of these games now (Grandia III most notably)

<<;

".............FEET." (edit- ninja'd!)

 

[hopeneverdies]

Thank God they established the brother sister thing early, not like Grandia 3. In the words of Roamin the great crime solving Rank 11 Palain "All those jokes I made about your mother seem a whole lot less funny now."

 

[Hithlain]

That was so funny I almost died. I think my liver DID die. Thanks guys ^_^

 

[The Great JT]

I woulda liked Ridley from Metroid more. At least he would've gotten a better crowd.

"So are you!"

Me too, as soon as I heard it, I thought "Oh man, it's gonna be good this week." I love when they play on old adages like the pot calling the kettle black.

Also loved the Grandia reference.

...wait, X-blades was released in the last 6 months? Damn, I thought they'd become stricter about quality control recently.

 

[brodie21]

didnt like this one as much as the others. had its funny points, but the suckiness of the cinematic overpowered everything else. WTF was with the soundtrack?

 

[Sewblon]

Something is very familiar about that cutscene, they must have hired someone who worked at 4kids to make it.

You mean the bad sound effects? Or the quality of the voice acting?

The voice acting and the inappropriate music, better than the usual hip hop, but it still hearts my ears.

 

[Fuhjem]

ha ha ha..

I haven't laughed that hard in a long ass time

 

[RTR]

That was whacky!

 

[Yerocha]

This was good. Oh, and for those of you wondering, Ridley beats the crap out of Jack in the fight. He still gets to be a knight, though...for some reason.

They do and will do more current ones, stop your bitching besides they go with whats funny

also i prefer when they do old games because it gets me interested in games i would of never played before or even heard of or games I've had for a long time and forgotten about, its a blast from the past man, gonna try and rent this one out myself now

also why watch half of the video find it funny but leave halfway through? that's like eating half a tasty meal, getting up, telling the chief to do newer cuisines and then fucking off, what the hell like? patience man patience

Good Video Lulz were had
