    This for me was the first Metroidvania that was neither Metroid or Castlevania. It will always hold a special place in my heart and it brings memories of my youth playing it and getting immersed in this unique world. So happy Nightdive Studios remastered this but also went the extra mile of including the cut content that couldn’t fit on either a cartridge, CD-ROM, or even a GD-ROM. Kudos to those fine programmers. 👍❤️😃

  • @ClaymoreLinx

    The sword is relevant, but it is symbolic. I go through the intro video on my channel, where I try to explained the intro cinematic from a mythological lens.

  • @ClaymoreLinx
    @ClaymoreLinx Месяц назад

    Lazarus did shatter the soulstone. That is why the warrior has to keep the demon contained within himself. Otherwise, the stone would be sufficient to keep Diablo at bay. The manuel is excellent I read the whole thing in a video on my channel, glad to see another manuel enjoyer. As I think, you've only scratched the surface of the mythological significance of Diablo 1.

    • @HeyBlondieGamer
      @HeyBlondieGamer Месяц назад

      The soulstone was inadequate, as Diablo was able to corrupt mortals from his prison which resulted in his release. I wouldn’t use that as the reason for the warrior’s decision, though it was certainly to try to contain the evil until he could offload it somewhere safe. Still an interesting gamble considering how easily others were corrupted, even when they had no direct contact with the soulstone. I love old Blizzard manuals, I used to read them cover to cover when I was a kid. The art made the elements pop in an evocative way. Oh, for sure, the video was never about the overarching mythology of Diablo, though that would be an interesting video. I’d be surprised if no-one has done it already.

    • @HeyBlondieGamer
      @HeyBlondieGamer Месяц назад

      Further to this, I’ve always liked the idea that Diablo’s final act was a subtle compulsion which causes the warrior to jam the stone into his forehead. Even in a fantasy setting, this act would be highly illogical and probably fatal unless you had explicit knowledge of what you were doing. Humans aren’t typically built to be receptacles for large foreign objects.

    • @ClaymoreLinx
      @ClaymoreLinx Месяц назад

      @HeyBlondieGamer no one yet has done it justice. It is no fault of yours though, your video is amoung the best i've seen. Though I will admit that my standard for analysis is very high, you have a great intuition for the mythology of the game. To your point about the soulstone, it would have been adequate given a few missing pieces. One of those pieces is the strength to spirit of Lazarus. The spirit of evil cannot be destroyed, and must be contained by vigilant sacrifice. The lack of Lazarus' will is a sign of the sin of the land. To your point about Diablo's action, I'd say it is apparant that the soulstone is broken and therefore something must be done to contain the demon. In this case it is a call to a higher order of being with self saceifice being the ultimate answer to Evil itself. I am about to record a video about Diablo 3 and then I would be honored to talk about this sometime, lets plan it out. I have a mic, please accept it.

    22:55 - What do i think happens ? The same thing that happens in the beginning - you pass out and you go to the brainwashing room - every fake ending is just a psy attack that aims to knock you out so that the monolith troops can capture you and take you to the room where they do brainwashing with tv's (as seen in Clear Sky). If you listen to the jokes about controllers the stalkers talk around campfires - it's the same thing like with every fake ending. The controller makes you hallucinate so much in order to come close to you and kill you so that he can eat you or whatever. None of the faux endings are literal, it's just a extremely intense psy attack and illusion because the actual monolith is also a psy emitter. And it's also not wise for the Monolith faction to kill or completely brainwash potential new recruits, all the psy emitters are optimally trying to create new monolith recruits that are just conscious a bit more than the zombies. Strelok was already brainwashed so maybe he dies in this process or the c-consciousness just cranks that mind flayer setting to 10 because Strelok goes from being a small inconvenience to a man that almost exposes them and destroys them - so we don't see him being brainwashed again because the psy attacks from the monolith actually kill him - so the hallucination he sees is like a dream he gets to have - it's the last thing he experiences before he dies. It would go against the theme of - the humens where the real mutants all along, cane canis lupus or whatever - if suddenly theres magical stuff like golden doubloons turning into screws and the monolith has the ability to succ your soul out your pee pee. You know this is easy stuff and for a stalker master you claim to be you seem to be opening your ingame inventory to use healing items instead of using hotkeys - and your Sidorovich impression is quite bad so im gonna have to give you a 9/10 for this 3 part retrospective interview, sorry not sorry git gud scrub.

And the fun part is I had no Idea the guy is making wine nowadays, it's one of my hobbies since a decade back. 😂 Need to check his products out.

    I love how if you find a location you like, you can make a base work there. I didn't care for it at first, but I've come to realize the best part of the brainstorming mini-game was that it brings new items to your attention. I changed the settings to turn it off, and found I was overlooking new items, so turned it back on. I definitely got strong HL, Deus Ex and System Shock vibes with it. It's a great game, worth every cent, and I'm really looking forward to future updates, as well as the potential mod scene.

    • @HeyBlondieGamer

    OG games are the best games, back when developers werent corrupt money grinders all stammering around for our attention and disposable income, games were sold in a more or less, complete state, and DLC's cost a small fraction of the actual game price. It was truely the greatest era for gaming. What we have now is half assed, money grabs, poorly put together, rushed to market after having chopped up the final product, so that DLCs could be sold later, without any additional development. -e I cannot stand the current era of gaming. I am so glad i kept all my old consoles and games from the old days.

    • @HeyBlondieGamer

      This is why AAA will eventually fall. The business model is outdated, and indie studios offer great experiences for a fraction of the price. The competition is steep now, and the big studios haven’t recognized the danger.

      Capitalism & an unbiased Free Market created Diablo & no one should mind others profiting off great creations. It's not the profit that bothers me it's the lack of passion creators have for there creations & there Motivations or Agendas in mind when making these Games. Leftist political agendas have infected everything. It's not just Games its Sports & Entertainment realm & even Comic Book characters. The Mainstream Media plays a huge rule in this because they've all been infected & they promote agendas by lobbying for funding for Games no one wants. This is why there's many Game Developers that don't even like Gaming. They've either made it in because of Gender or Ethnicity. If the Gaming Realm was left to pure Capitalism & the Free Market you'd see Games being made the way they were in the 1990s & early 2000s.

      It’s nice to see that newer generations are able to appreciate what these games meant to industry when they released (or, in some cases, well after release).

      @HeyBlondieGamer it helps that I had 2 older brothers and my dad who was very much into those kinds of games. As a result, I grew up on some tom Clancy games and always hearing about the OG Resident evil series. I got into UT99 back in 2013, especially with mods, after watching your video I'm now thinking of grabbing this game to do a playthrough.

      @nickysimi9866 You’ll need to get your skull-and-bones on as Epic yanked it from digital storefronts. I did find a site which still hosted it as abandonware but can’t remember the name of it now. I’m sure you’ll have a blast if you can get your hands on a copy.

    Probably my favourite marathon video mate, well made and it got me through work today I'd be keen to see more highly detailed videos on myth, halo or oni. Course you don't have to but I'd enjoy em all the same, especially m2 and infinity vids. Hope your years been a good one

    I recently played half-life for the first time I'm a huge portal fan Read the comcs Played Mel and reloaded and qube when I was a dumb kid and thought it was portal 3 I'm also a pretty huge Doom fan so a synthesis of Doom and portal piqued my interest Needless to say I was extremely disappointed I did not like Half-Life at all it was extremely sloppy unpolished and most importantly unfun please let me know what you love about half life if you are a fan because I'm really struggling to find the appeal even though I want to enjoy half-life

      There were many things about Half-Life which were innovative for the time and include: AI, presentation (the intro sequence is a great example of the ‘show, don’t tell’ tenet of storytelling), and map design. Comparing it to Portal or Doom won’t give you a 1-to-1 fit, even when combined, they are all vastly different. You don’t have to *like* something, but knowing the conditions of the industry at the time might let you appreciate it more. Consider that it was built on the Quake 2 engine. Comparing what was done in Quake 2 vs Half-Life is a better comparison and more indicative of HL’s ‘wow’ factor for the time.

    I really enjoy your videos. I turned this one on and fell asleep and was treated to the ongoing audio while I was dreaming! Very surreal

    I watched all three videos and I quite like them. However, I have to say something about this Noosphere. It is merely a philosophical concept; not a theory. It's not even a hypothesis. A hypothesis has to be able to be studied, reproduced and checked if it is unfalsifiable. Right now, it is simply a metaphysical concept trying to marry a god and human consciousness together. Until a god is proven to exist and a noosphere exists, it is nothing but metaphysical, religious pseudo-science.

      That’s my mistake for poor choice of word. I understand what you’re saying and agree. In no way shape or form do I believe in a noosphere. It is a fascinating concept though, and fertile grounds for storytelling.

    I would argue that the bleak and claustrophobic horrific atmosphere of Diablo is not only unrivalled at the series but gaming as a whole. I appreciate there is subjectivity to that though.

    • @HeyBlondieGamer
      @HeyBlondieGamer Месяц назад

      Fallout does a bang-up job of that too in its own way, but I get what you’re saying. The gameplay mechanics of D1 complement the oppressive atmosphere well.

    Alexander Brandon is to be commended for his masterful work in this game's soundtrack.

      He managed to capture the mystery and whimsy of an alien world, imparting the gravity of a beautiful environment as much as the impact Unreal had on the industry.

    As simple as the story was, I've always been a fan of Jason Court's performance as Kyle Katarn. My only regret is, that unless Disney comes to its senses, Jedi Knight will remain his only performance as this iconic character. I'm not blind, by now is unfortunately too old to play a young Katarn. But I can always see him as an old Jedi master. Great video which deserves more views and likes. Insta-subcribe.

      It’s been incredible to see in the comments how many people loved Jason’s performance. I feel as though he captured the spirit of Star Wars perfectly, managing a nice balance of loveable rogue and a man struggling with his darkness. As much as I’d love to see him portray Katarn again, I think that window has well and truly closed. We can be thankful that he lives on through Jedi Knight and that indelible spot in our hearts. Cheers, I appreciate it.
