  • An overview of the Japan Only JoJo: Phantom Blood PS2 game published by Bandai Namco released on the PlayStation 2.
    Continuing on from my last video on the Golden Wind PS2 game, I was pleasantly surprised by what is the lowest selling JoJo game to date. While it lacks a lot of what made Golden Wind interesting, it has it's own charm and silliness that kept me going throughout the whole experience.
    This game also predates its more popular anime adaptation which began in 2012, but it also came out a year before the Phantom Blood OVA film which is now considered lost media.
    I am open to suggestions on new games to cover. While I am not planning at the moment to cover any other JoJo game, let me know if you would be interested in seeing a video on any of them as I would be open to revisiting/seeing what else they have to offer.
    Also for some reason this game is not on the RUclips Game list...

    Hey, I loved your golden wind video and this one is just as good. It's nice to have these often forgotten pieces of jojo media talked about, especially this game since I think it's the one people know about the least. Good job!

      It’s easy to forget about all the jojo media before the anime popularised the series outside of Japan but it’s been real fun and got me interested in seeing more of what’s out there.

    I like the way you play this game to find everything interesting about it. Your descriptions also made me chuckle quite a while I was pretty surprised to look down and see that this video only has 6k views. This video is definitely much better than the average "game retrospective" videos on youtube.

    I'm probably just shouting into the void here but I think you should try bleach soul resurreccion, it's a game that came out on the PS3 and i've heard basically nobody talk about it.
    It has a surprising amount of playable characters and also sticks to the story well.

    I think a cool idea for a next video would be on the Berserk game exclusive to the Dreamcast. I've never played It, but apparently its story deviates from the manga, and was rated pretty fairly when it first released. I haven't seen many people talk about this game so it would be cool if you made a video on it.

    • @TephraDan
      @TephraDan  Месяц назад +2

      Thanks for the recommendation! :D I was thinking of covering a Berserk game at some point though I need to catch up on my Berserk reading first to do it justice. It does seem like a really interesting game from the bits I've read.

      Bamco only published the Dark Souls games worldwide and Demon's Souls in Europe. From Software made them. Bloodborne is Sony's IP despite being made by From Soft (plus Demon's Souls although Sony refused to publish outside of Japan at first which is why Bamco published in Europe and Atlus in the US). If Bamco owned Bloodborne, that game would've been on everything and not a PS4 exclusive. Besides letting Fromsoft doing what they want after DS2, they are a pretty trash publisher and developer if they even make games at this point and not just rely on subsidiaries and publishing deals.
