I have the maps on the wall, are they collectable?

All these games look boring as fuck

Thanks for posting this. This is my favorite game of all time. I played this when I was 10 years old (1990)and had no clue what I was doing to progress in the game. However it was a great sand box game. Not like any others I’ve seen at the time. I was rearranging the castle and I grinded sherry to level 8 killing guards.

Best voice acting ever. Just incredible.

Another Origin banger. Too bad the studio got the same fate as Westwood and Maxis.

I remember playing a demo of Soul Rever on another game disk that I rented. I then awaited its release. One of my favorite PS1 titles.

10x better than your first. def see the difference in script

It seems you took a lot of jokes/quotes from spoony

Thank you for this review. I have fond memories of this game from my teenage years.

Amazing game.

I liked this game a lot!

Outrageous that this only has 12,000 views

This time, I don't have a light hearted comment for you, Finn - so instead I would like to thank you for providing this video to your audience. :-)

lol u started here picture ultima online 2 when it was fresh out the gate pking everyone and diablo was new with bnet lol

24:15 sick reference, toobs!

My experience with the in-game music: my GUS Max was not 100% compatible with the game (although it should have been), and the MIDI music crashed the game in random positions. This forced me to set off the music and I would argue that although the MIDI music had its own appeal, the quieter experience was more intense and scary, when only audio being the sound FX and the audio logs.

About physics engine and throwing objects: often not mentioned interesting feature of this game was the ability to throw objects (mainly grenades) at an arc. If I remember correctly, the manual explains this. You have the object in hand, right-click and hold. Then release the button at some other point. I don’t remember exactly how it works but the game then calculates "a vector arc" between these two points. It enables you to throw the grenade down to a lower level over an edge (or up and higher, or possibly a bit around the corner?), as if you were throwing with underhanded motion. Someone could verify this. What I do remember is that throwing this way was quite difficult and often resulted in many accidental deaths and swear words.

Is that good smelling gothic boi you mentioned called KingCobra by any chance? :)

If you play this game, do yourself a big favor whenever you come across a staircase. Label on your map U or D for up or down on the staircase, as it's not clear which way they go on the map. Also, whenever you take a staircase, turn around and look at the staircase to get it on your map, then mark the direction on your map

You can use right click to look at things. Right click and drag to use/pick up things, without having to switch icons. Keyboard movement is best to use, instead of trying to move with the mouse. Especially for jumping puzzles. J key is jump. Shift+J is a standing forward jump, which most jumps in the game are designed around

One of my Favorite games thanks for this vid❤❤

I love that UI, its so immersive it just pulled me right in to the game world. At the time I could not afford a PC so I got to experience it well after the release. I did see it at a friends place and was mesmerized. Thank you for the video!

Nosgoth was fantastic, I was actually depressed when it was shut down.

I’m so glad people are realizing the genius of the first game that started all immersive sims, I been obsessing over it for a year now

There was an interview after this game came out where the developers admitted this wasn’t originally meant to be an Ultima game. So that is why there are so many odd things not related to Ultima.

“Whats a PALADIN!?” Play it again…. AGAIN!”

Skipped the magnus battle

Your content is tops, which there was more of this style of content. Yours is special tho

"Finntrovert"? Torille? Good stuff about classic. Tbh I've never quite finished original title. Maybe about 3/4 through. But I played through the remake and gotta say it's very solid remake, though visual style isn't quite what I wanted from it. But replicates original very well imo. Nightdive og modernization (what a cluster f wording :) ) made original controls quite a bit better for ones wanting to try original SS. The new remake is for one who think og looks too dated. I can personally recommend both versions.

Alternative title: "The Legacy of Kain - or: Why I don't like letterboxed mode". ;-)

Faustus: Faustian Bargain, Magnus: Magnus Carlsen

Thanks for the great content again! Although I was a fan of UW1 (and UW2), I did fail to get pass the steeper learning curve of this title back when this was released. Thanks to your video, I may now try again! PS. Vintage PC sound card trivia: This title is one of the few games that support the shortly lived Sound Blaster Pro 1 card with dual OPL2 chips for stereo music.

No mention of the Nightdive remaster?

This game looks good, tho. Idk seems badass. I've been looking these games up a lot latlynafter finding out about them about a month ago, and I know this one got a lot of shit. But still, the ultima series interests me. What's th best one. 5 or 6?? I might try to see if I can download one maybe.

Also, you can double click an object to pickup items within without having to drag the item from the side window.

Sometimes I just turn on the "movie" version of Soul Reaver (All cutscenes, little gameplay) and kinda use it as an audio book. The voice acting is just that legendary.

Thimbs up and the obligatory comment, but won't watch yet as I plan to play it over this summer (the remake).

The way you talk sounds like a perfect cross of Richie and Eddie from the British sictom Bottom. 😊

Awesome work as always. Wasn't expecting this to pop up on my feed

Still one of my alltime favorite games despite the jank, but I will say that System Shock Enhanced and the 2023 Remake are both much more accessible and fun ways to play the game nowadays. Another great nostalgia bomb video here :D

13:21 Well, Earth is your home too.

I'm incredibly glad for enhanced edition, playing it with (more or less) modern controls, it's much easier to appreciate how amazing this game is even today. And the remake is fantastic, only thing I miss there is how in original, you could write notes in the map and they would be displayed in the environment- with all the doors and secret panels opening with lessening security it was incredible useful tool.

Always appreciate your fairness, Finn. You clearly love this game and it definitely had an impact on you, but you don't suck it's butt in praise. Nor do you lambast it, over critiquing it's faults. And just enough humor without undermining your opinion. It reminds me a lot of Total Biscuit in that way. Keep up the great work and I look forward to SS2!

I like the idea of SHODAN being referred to as "it" and "he" by Citadel staff and wish it wasn't changed. It showed that SHODAN was only semi-intelligent with no self-awareness until the Hacker tampered with her, and she chooses a feminine persona for herself after becoming self-aware, later seeing herself as a mother figure to all the horrific mutants and cyborgs she's created.

warren specter said 451 had nothing to with Fahrenheit 451 and it was in fact the code to get to the offices of the company.

Great video as always. Any chance of offering Steady besides Patreon? Trying to get rid of Patreon in favor of it.

The controls were indeed awful by modern standards. That being said, gamers back then were well acquainted with arcane keymaps. If someone tells you they didn't like this game 'cuz contrulz' check their id. Posers abound.

My dood, I've been binging your vids for a while now, love the work and how you frame things. Looking forward to more!

Noni, oonki odottanu tätä. Ei sil et oisin tienny et teet videon system shockista, mut jotenkin arvasin😅 onnea 5k seuraajasta!
