Indeed. Better yet, he got some time to about "Summertime High School: A Young Man's Notes How a New Exchange Student Like Myself Ran Into His Childhood Friend on the School Tour, Then for Some Reason Became Super-Popular with the Girls for His Daily Scoops on the School Photography Club Even Though He Only Takes Panty Shots, and What He Thinks as He Goes on Dates During His Summer of Island School Life" game
City Shrouded in Shadow takes me back to the Twitch marathon of Power Rangers and chat spamming "MILLIONS DEAD" after every zord/monster attack. That was fun.
Kyoei Toshi is essentially my dream Kaiju game, and one of the few PS4 titles I've imported. Most devs seem to think people only want to *be* the Kaiju, which I get, but I always wanted to play one of the humans on the ground trying to survive. The disaster element is my favorite aspect of Kaiju films in the first place. I would love for it to be localized one day, but I'd settle for a spiritual follow up that uses only the Godzilla or another single IP to avoid the copyright nightmare.
Or an aesametric multiplayer game where 1 person is the kaisu and there's 4 particular survivors it has to go for. Or maybe something a little crazy where there's 101 people and one gets randomly selected as the kaisu and the last to survive wins the game.
@@logiclunacy606 I see why some would want that, and I don't mind if it's a *mode*, but I'd prefer single-player at first please. Not a fan of match-based multiplayer-only games like that, I always get bored so fast.
That first game where you survive in a kaiju battle city looks super cool, will definitely check that out! A warning for anyone interested in the last game with the long name (just called "Natsuiro" for short): that game is absolutely not beatable without the strategy guide even if you read moon runes. The events are all day and time of day sensitive, and due to how short the day night cycle is and how big the island is and how many npcs there are to talk to you can't just walk around and talk to everyone until you trigger an event. Also the game is filled with "how was I supposed to figure that out on my own?!" moments. The game doesn't have any mission markers, and dose nothing to guide you as to what you should be doing. Beating that game is a quest itself. Also the strategy guide is not well organized either. Cool game though if the horny doesn't bother you.
I don't want to bring drama here, the most chill YT channel I know, but... Isn't this the same game that a certain Yandev has been trying to copypaste in the past 100 years? Like damn, the similarities are way too on the nose lmao
@@Bane_Amesta He makes no illusion of it. I only know about the game from when he brought it out to show which features he wanted to crib from it. ruclips.net/video/T9P7-9quicg/видео.html
Reminds me of Mizzurna Falls (the "Twin Peaks with the serial numbers filed off" PS1 Japan exclusive). It's absolutely fucking impossible for mostly the same reasons, you have to be in the right place at the right time at pretty much every hour of the day (with mere minutes of IRL time to spare) for the story to move. Even following a guide to the letter, I had to reset every once in a while because I drove too slow to the random park I was supposed to be in.
The funny thing about this game on PS4 and PS4 Pro is that the framerate is very bad like around 10fps when things going insane. PS5 definitely helps a lot, but it's still not lock 60fps. Sometimes, it can still drop frames to around 30 when there are too many things on screens in once. Besides being not optimized well, the game only offers 1080p with no PS4 Pro mode lol
@Ken1003-ケンさん "Thank you so much, I do actually have a psn account in which I purchase games that don't come to America, and I didn't know about this game, gonna purchase it for sure.
I dont know if this comes up later in the video but when you said "Games with many licensed IP's" my first thought went to the SRW series. Which was Japan only for decades but during the PS4 era the games started getting localized. A Fire emblem esque game where instead of knights and magic your units are made up of giant robots and vehicles, both original characters and characters licensed from various IP's, the newest game featured Ultraman, Gridman, some Transformers offshoots, Victory Gundam, Sakura Taisen and various others. It's a good game series.
I once saw City Shrouded in Shadow a LONG time ago as a youtube video and forgot about it Years later, the memory haunted me as I thought it was super cool but could never find it! Only recently after getting into Patlabor did I rediscover it, and then of course lo and behold, this video comes out shortly after! Amazing timing! Also, I really appreciate you giving every game its deserved time instead of going "Panty shot game? Waste of time" and then playing the game while looking down on it like any other RUclipsr would for Summertime High School. It looks really nice honestly, I wish I could play it!
Same. I swear I've seen someone else talk about City of Shadow, but forgot all about it in the meantime. Funny thing about pervy panty shot games, is that ClementJ642 did a review on the Gal*Gun series recently, and he got legitimately upset to the point of hilarity, of how he thought it was condesending, ridiculous, and "not funny at all" how unapologetically pervy the game was, with how you undress these girls without consent, despite him knowing it's a videogame where no actual real life people get hurt. I was like, chill dude! You are making waaay more of an issue out of this than you should.
way less famous in other part of the world In italy we are big on manga and we still only have worst with a never finished edition of Crows, in other part of the world is basically non existant, never officially traslated to english and not even in french
That lead producer quote is so bad it spins round and becomes kind of wholesome in a hilarious kind of way. The honesty gets me man. It's like he is trying to pitch his fetish to a room full of artists.
I love these Japan only videos you make. I’d love to see more videos about Japan only games from different consoles, if that’s something you’re interested in of course
I'm a girl and even I want to try it out. The idea of there's being a peaceful open world Japanese land where demons aren't sucking the world into their dimension and the vibe is "meet cute girls and looks around" just sounds relaxing and fun.
@@PikaLink91 It's a good start at least. Finding a way to learn organic Japanese is difficult. A variety of sources is the best, as with any language learning
Depressing Sunday afternoon BUT with a Thor video? GIVE IT TO MEEE! Also, Thor, have you played GHOSTWIRE TOKYO? The creepy but cool liminal space energy is strong with that one 🖤
I knew about Jinrui no Minasama e aka To All of Humanity by accidentally seeing it on Play-Asia, but most the rest of these games were new to me and look legit interesting. I love these types of games where you go on adventures in a slice-of-life down to Earth Japanese setting. Thanks for the recommendations, Thor! These will be added to the ebay wishlist. To hell with the fact that my Japanese is beginner level!
I absolutely loved Disaster Report 4. All the weird bits give it charm, but it actually (right up until the finale) had an amazingly powerful story and with my sound system turned up, almost felt authentic... I would love for us to get a translated version of City Shouded in Shadows. Fingers crossed one day it will happen...
As my first Disaster Report game I loved it too. I actually reviewed it over on SwitchWatch when it released :3 And I agree on the weak ending. That seems to be a theme with the Japanese though. Great stories with weak endings.
@@PikaLink91 very strange game. Thought the rape gang in the train station was weird until I got to the bridge near the end and oh... foreshadowing, lol.
Yeah I enjoyed it too I played the switch version thought it was pretty funny how the title of the game changed based on one of the decisions you made in the game always loved the different dialogue choices in this series - but the second game in the series raw danger is still my favourite as I loved how you played as multiples protagonists whose stories interconnected throughout the adventure. I plan to import city shrouded in shadow soon as I found a great 237 page guide online which I will follow along with when I play the game it includes pretty much all the dialogue choices and conversations
So what you are saying is that "Summertime High School: A Young Man's Notes How a New Exchange Student Like Myself Ran Into His Childhood Friend on the School Tour, Then for Some Reason Became Super-Popular with the Girls for His Daily Scoops on the School Photography Club Even Though He Only Takes Panty Shots, and What He Thinks as He Goes on Dates During His Summer of Island School Life" is the dark souls of kinky games?
I gotta say, I may be in the strange side of RUclips when a bunch of people I'm subscribed to are in the veins of THH and couldn't be any happier for it. Great video as always.
Wow, as a fan of the Raw Danger games, I'm sad that City Shrouded in Shadow didn't ever make it over here. 😢 Summer Time High has an alure as well. I will add it to my some day wish list.
Thank you for adding the names in the video! 👍 12:33 "Confirm is already X, so half of the localisation is already done." Bloody brilliant and hilarious, so many great one-liners in your videos, as usual. Aww, the video ended....
If that last game took out the main gimmick, and it was just about a photography club student who took, y'know, regular photos? I'd play the shit out of that. I know that probably sounds boring to a lot of people, but I think that'd be hella neat and cosy. It could be like a hidden object game where you have to explore the map and find particular locations/people/objects. I realise this game probably already does stuff like that, but I'd just like a game where that's the actual goal lmao. Kind of like Eastshade I guess.
Dark Cloud 2 is action RPG but still cozy and cute and very much like that. You find hidden objects and take pics and then you can craft new stuff with it. My buddy showed it to me about 5 years back. Good game.
You know Thor, have you ever thought about doing a video covering PC FX titles? That 2d only 1995 console is a goldmine for bizarre titles that never left Japan (mainly because the console itself never left Japan, but even then those titles that did get ported to other consoles also never left Japan.) The fact that the system's killer apps at launch were a first person anime fmv fighting game and a survival horror style game with tank controls but it's possibly the only game that does 2d sprites on pre rendered 3d backgrounds should be enough to get you interested to dig deeper.
I love the shitty depth of field and weird graphics overall in the second game, I'm sure it was an unintentional choice but I like the vibe it brings. Great vid man, I love your style and music always.
Man I've wanted to play City Shrouded in Shadow since it was first announced... but it'll probably never get a fan patch let alone offical localisation
I didn't know Crows had a game, let alone a ps4 game, but the way you described the characters as "Street punks who don't give a fuck" is pretty much accurate to the manga XD The first manga has my favorite death in all of manga (that I've read :p ) It really impacts the characters and story, and the one getting death'd really does look like they're realistically scared of dying, jeez, I get goosebumps just remembering.
true but i didnt wanna use a actual skyrim npc or let alone a actual person as a example of "ugly" nor do i know who he coulda been talking about i havent played skyrim so i used the "rediculous option" that would hopefully be more universally seen as a joke n not as anything potentially offensive but yes vegeta is giving many things in that image and i do approve
honestly after watching this video it is my opinion that Summertime Highschool: A Young Man's Notes ☆ How a New Exchange Student Like Myself Ran Into His Childhood Friend on the School Tour, Then for Some Reason Became Super-Popular with the
That last game, I respect the dude for being honest lol. It's kinda like making a really busty character and instead of making some crazy ass reason why they are like that (looking at Quiet), the creator goes "I just like the t+a"
Yo, new addition to the THH SHINY FAMILY : THE SHINY JACKET 😌 Kinda missed not having the gag here, but I get that it probably would too redundant at this point. Certainly elicited a great big smile on my part !
Thor, you ever check out Steambot Chronicles? Irem made the series. I adore the original and the PSP spinoff. I was so disappointed the PS3 one was canceled, but since Disaster Report 4 came out...maybe one day. I think they'd be up your alley.
recently beat disaster report 3 through the completed fan translation last year and it was awesome. I completely forgot city shrouded in shadow existed but I remember the trailer when it was announced. Hopefully one day we'll have a complete translation of it I need it lol
Yeah I also played through the fan translation of the third game it was awesome being able to understand everything, I actually found a great online guide for city shrouded in shadow which is 237 pages long but it will be really useful as it includes all the dialogue choices and conversations in the game so I know what will be happening with all the Japanese text - I am from uk but plan to import the game from Japan as I loved the disaster report game especially raw danger apparently this made by the same game dev
HEY HAVE TOU TRIED CROWS BATTLE ACTION ON THE SATURN?!? Is beatem up. I meant to throw that out to you years ago and kept forgetting and then I was going back through and re watching your videos. Also Thanks for your work. I dig your style and the entire body of your work is used on the rev by me to chill and relax and remove stress. You’re a great content creator and I’d honestly be worse off had I never found you. Thank you.
Not sure how I didn't realize until a rewatch but that crows game is based off of an obscure forgotten manga of the same name that only got two episodes of an anime adaptation in the 90s. It's crazy to think that they'd even think about making a game based off the series.
I legit get so excited every time you upload. You know exactly how to activate my autism. Really wish it was easier to find and play a lot of the games you talk about though, keep up the good work!
Halfway through the video I decided to turn on auto-generated Spanish closed captions and I kid you not it's the funniest shit ever. It struggles a lot with the japanese names but also a lot of the slang and it outright gives up with the "hella"s and "hecka"s and writes them as-is in the middle of and otherwise spanish sentence. Also it translates "bitches" in a REALLY aggressive tone.
City Shrouded in Shadow rules and I wish it would get localized so badly. It's probably not really possible to make sense of without knowing the language right? But it'll run on a European PS4?
There is a great 237 page guide online which includes pretty much all the dialogue options and conversations in the game it will come in very useful when I import the game from Japan
I love those games with flirty dialog written for a male protagonist but left untouched for a female protagonist. Maybe a mark of lazy writing, but there's something about it, man
The game the guy gave you is Zettai Anzen Toshi = totally safe city, and the game description is that some guy is on his way home when... nothing happens and he goes home safely and takes a bath. Fun!
I'm very excited for Hugo. I would actually be interested in a video talking about the show. I find it really interesting that it was played on a telephone.
@@somniloquous0 I did see that. Sean is pretty great, however he only did the ps1 games. I know theres ps2 games which would interesting as I dont really see much info on them.

The Disaster Report series is known as 絶体絶命都市 in Japan.
The box here says 絶対安全都市 meaning something like 'Totally Safe City' so it's a parody.
A parody of a game series that is about a city in total destruction clearly not taking itself too serious to being with?

I never knew how much I needed a game about being a civilian in a city that is being attacked by mecha-godzilla.
Kyoei Toshi might be the only game that allows you to yell "Goddammit, Ultraman dropkicked Neon Genesis Evangelion"
That high-school games open world looks better than the latest Pokémon attempts at worldbuilding/graphics.
Wow, as a fan of the Raw Danger games, I'm sad that City Shrouded in Shadow didn't ever make it over here. 😢 Summer Time High has an alure as well. I will add it to my some day wish list.
As someone who watched Hugo on TV as a kid but never managed to get a call to connect I'm actually looking forward to whatever you're cooking next
Makes me so happy you covered City Shrouded in Shadows!
Thank you for adding the names in the video! 👍
12:33 "Confirm is already X, so half of the localisation is already done."
Bloody brilliant and hilarious, so many great one-liners in your videos, as usual.
Aww, the video ended....
If that last game took out the main gimmick, and it was just about a photography club student who took, y'know, regular photos? I'd play the shit out of that. I know that probably sounds boring to a lot of people, but I think that'd be hella neat and cosy. It could be like a hidden object game where you have to explore the map and find particular locations/people/objects. I realise this game probably already does stuff like that, but I'd just like a game where that's the actual goal lmao. Kind of like Eastshade I guess.
@@davemoore7808 I have been meaning to check that game out! thank you for reminding me that it exists 🙏
Dark Cloud 2 is action RPG but still cozy and cute and very much like that. You find hidden objects and take pics and then you can craft new stuff with it. My buddy showed it to me about 5 years back. Good game.
@@taylorhill6027 oooh that sounds interesting! Thank you, I'll check it out 👀
You always upload the moment I want a new upload.
I never despair the end of a video. I'm always looking forward to the next banger. Stay beautiful.
You know Thor, have you ever thought about doing a video covering PC FX titles? That 2d only 1995 console is a goldmine for bizarre titles that never left Japan (mainly because the console itself never left Japan, but even then those titles that did get ported to other consoles also never left Japan.) The fact that the system's killer apps at launch were a first person anime fmv fighting game and a survival horror style game with tank controls but it's possibly the only game that does 2d sprites on pre rendered 3d backgrounds should be enough to get you interested to dig deeper.
Holy shit I was so excited to see the little Legion bugs from Gamera. That song from the Lake Texarkana dub popped right into my head.
This video is driving me on to learn japanese so i can hopefully someday play these because almost all of them look cool and would be worth it. sweet
I love the shitty depth of field and weird graphics overall in the second game, I'm sure it was an unintentional choice but I like the vibe it brings. Great vid man, I love your style and music always.
Man I've wanted to play City Shrouded in Shadow since it was first announced... but it'll probably never get a fan patch let alone offical localisation
I didn't know Crows had a game, let alone a ps4 game, but the way you described the characters as "Street punks who don't give a fuck" is pretty much accurate to the manga XD
The first manga has my favorite death in all of manga (that I've read :p ) It really impacts the characters and story, and the one getting death'd really does look like they're realistically scared of dying, jeez, I get goosebumps just remembering.
You know the channel os God tier when the credits time is a abstract chill break from the abstract chill video.
Editing in the photo of Vegeta With a Fat Ass has to be a mistake because she is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen.
true but i didnt wanna use a actual skyrim npc or let alone a actual person as a example of "ugly" nor do i know who he coulda been talking about i havent played skyrim so i used the "rediculous option" that would hopefully be more universally seen as a joke n not as anything potentially offensive but yes vegeta is giving many things in that image and i do approve
the whole world stops and listens when thorhighheels talks about niche video game environments
honestly after watching this video it is my opinion that Summertime Highschool: A Young Man's Notes ☆ How a New Exchange Student Like Myself Ran Into His Childhood Friend on the School Tour, Then for Some Reason Became Super-Popular with the
Agreed.
You might be one the best creators on youtube tbh. Always a great time watching your videos! Thanks for all the great work!!
crows has both improved and ruined my fashion sense
sold me on silk bomber jackets
but also sold me on wallet chains
i dress like a yakuza npc
What a precious concept for a game in City Shrouded in Shadows! Games must expand not only in terms of subjects, but also in points-of-view!
low budget crows ps4 game i didnt know existed over some sweet cruelty squad music? i love you man
That last game, I respect the dude for being honest lol. It's kinda like making a really busty character and instead of making some crazy ass reason why they are like that (looking at Quiet), the creator goes "I just like the t+a"
Just the warm hug I needed right now. Thank you.
Yo, new addition to the THH SHINY FAMILY :
THE SHINY JACKET 😌
Kinda missed not having the gag here, but I get that it probably would too redundant at this point. Certainly elicited a great big smile on my part !
Thor, you ever check out Steambot Chronicles? Irem made the series. I adore the original and the PSP spinoff. I was so disappointed the PS3 one was canceled, but since Disaster Report 4 came out...maybe one day.
I think they'd be up your alley.
i was literally binging your excrements this morning and now this dropped, gamers rise up
Frog Minutes continues to have the deepest Suda lore.
Akira Yamaoka was one of the game's supervisors
Neither here nor there, but I heard the forbidden archives track thorhigheels (aka you) made for Lunacid, and that shit slaps.
I remember an interview where Tarantino pitched the idea of a Godzilla movie about civilian life and that's something I've wanted to see ever since.
Thorpogged at this like the highpilled heelcel I am
recently beat disaster report 3 through the completed fan translation last year and it was awesome. I completely forgot city shrouded in shadow existed but I remember the trailer when it was announced. Hopefully one day we'll have a complete translation of it I need it lol
Yeah I also played through the fan translation of the third game it was awesome being able to understand everything, I actually found a great online guide for city shrouded in shadow which is 237 pages long but it will be really useful as it includes all the dialogue choices and conversations in the game so I know what will be happening with all the Japanese text - I am from uk but plan to import the game from Japan as I loved the disaster report game especially raw danger apparently this made by the same game dev
Holy shit Thor I can’t wait for the Hugo video. I watched that TV show religiously
i found this channel because my friend said I sound like you and now im binging it
ThorHH appearing on Insert Credit is the crossover we all needed.
Just finished reading Crows and had no idea there was a recent game for it to try, thanks for the tip lol!
When cloud ran up to barett, only to get a shitload of text dropped on him. *chef’s kiss*
HEY HAVE TOU TRIED CROWS BATTLE ACTION ON THE SATURN?!? Is beatem up. I meant to throw that out to you years ago and kept forgetting and then I was going back through and re watching your videos.
Also Thanks for your work. I dig your style and the entire body of your work is used on the rev by me to chill and relax and remove stress.
You’re a great content creator and I’d honestly be worse off had I never found you. Thank you.
Don't get me wrong, your videos always make me chuckle but this one is like... REALLY funny 👍😂
Not sure how I didn't realize until a rewatch but that crows game is based off of an obscure forgotten manga of the same name that only got two episodes of an anime adaptation in the 90s. It's crazy to think that they'd even think about making a game based off the series.
That new song over the pataronie thanks is just stunning.
I legit get so excited every time you upload. You know exactly how to activate my autism. Really wish it was easier to find and play a lot of the games you talk about though, keep up the good work!
20:31 best part of this whole video. pure art. also, make a video about the another code remake!
Halfway through the video I decided to turn on auto-generated Spanish closed captions and I kid you not it's the funniest shit ever. It struggles a lot with the japanese names but also a lot of the slang and it outright gives up with the "hella"s and "hecka"s and writes them as-is in the middle of and otherwise spanish sentence. Also it translates "bitches" in a REALLY aggressive tone.
"Simple-series-ian" is such a beautiful description.
Using it now.
Wow I've never knew Crows came out with a game, thanks to you I am gonna check it out!
Loved that manga
3:59 S H I N Y W O O D D D D
What's fantastical about this premise?
In the modern day copyright is causing me grief every second of my day
"This Is Definitely Exactly What It Is 'Em Ups" is my new favorite genre.
City Shrouded in Shadow rules and I wish it would get localized so badly.
It's probably not really possible to make sense of without knowing the language right? But it'll run on a European PS4?
PS4 is region free so any game from any country can run.
There is a great 237 page guide online which includes pretty much all the dialogue options and conversations in the game it will come in very useful when I import the game from Japan
Starting off with a Natsuiro clip is sending me
I love those games with flirty dialog written for a male protagonist but left untouched for a female protagonist. Maybe a mark of lazy writing, but there's something about it, man
Yo this video was good fun. You get a like and a sub. Now Imma binge all the videos
Seeing Kekan Banchou Otome being mentioned here of all places gave me whiplash. I want that localized sooo much
Man, I love the Crows manga series and it's sequel, Worst. If you really liked the early Kenka Banchou games, then I'd recommend reading them 100%
The game the guy gave you is Zettai Anzen Toshi = totally safe city, and the game description is that some guy is on his way home when... nothing happens and he goes home safely and takes a bath. Fun!
I'm very excited for Hugo. I would actually be interested in a video talking about the show. I find it really interesting that it was played on a telephone.
Sean Seanson did a pretty great video on the Hugo games :)
@@somniloquous0 I did see that. Sean is pretty great, however he only did the ps1 games. I know theres ps2 games which would interesting as I dont really see much info on them.
"That Evangelion thing people keep telling me I'm influenced by" pfffsshhhahaha
