Thanks for watching!
I was lucky enough to meet Suda at PAX East years ago and I told him (through his translator) how Flower, Sun, and Rain is my favorite game even though I hate math lol
What did he say?
@@yehuda8589 He laughed and if I remember right his translator just said he said 'thanks' lol
@@yehuda8589 aa
Why isn't travis strikes again just called suda all-Stars?
Because it was supposed to be a surprise.
The best part about suda games, especially this one. Is you get to look into the mind of the creator at full length. His oddities and passion all come full force. It sucks that as usual most reviewers just dump it under the bus and call it boring. But of course it's the same kinda people who review call of duty and fortnite and give it a 9/10.
How are you so underappreciated on this platform???? (And on bandcamp too) God, I love you and all that you do musically and on RUclips.
Great Video bb.
It's usually if someone is new on the platform, relax.
Ah yes, nothing like a fresh, energizing injection of Thorium.
When I first saw your videos I was like, "I bet this guy loves Suda51".
So yeah.
love your work.
I want you to know that I read that whole title card and I commend the Linda Cubed reference.
Same
This channel is my gucci -zone
Suda is like a more chill and actually a good writer version of Kojima lmao. That's at least how I see it.
i enjoy kojima's writing, but yea, suda is kojima but without the pretentious "fuck you i want it to FEEL deep" shit
@KentuckyFriedSnake He's pretttty pretentious
(You)
SUDA is better at writing than Kojima, no doubt, Kojima best writer just left him after MGS3 and look what happened to MGS4, huge downgrade on writing department, Suda is actually really underrated.
@@BB0ysGames I agree with your comment Nd the OG comment. I feel like if Suda and Kojima sat down, agreed on a concept that they both deeply cared about, we might get a gem for all gamers. They both like to play on satire of games. Certain ques and beats of their games hit for all players.
I will never have the time or the patience for all of these games you review, but you make them all sound fascinating. Even this one, that looks like a pain in the ass to play (by my standards) looks interesting once you start talking about all the meta shit.
Lately I've been more uninterested in videogames but I always come back to your channel because of your choices for games and your perspective.
El mundo de Suda51 es maravilloso. Un universo donde otakus, luchadores de lucha libre, asesinos, alegorías sobre la violencia, anime, punk británico convergen en un tema en particular KILL THE PAST.
Hey, youre my favorite youtuber rn!!! Im 17 and Im taking a huge interest in older and more out there video games, and your videos really open up my horizons!! Ive been thinking of even buying some older counsels so I can play these games!!
Your channel talks about the same obscure stuff I've always been into, even when it was shit. You seem to even be into the same art. I'm convinced you're literally my doppleganger and I'm gonna die.
Wow it's sad how all those developers (minus Chunsoft) you named in the beginning are no longer around.
Just found this channel and we share nearly the exact same interests and tastes, bless
I spit out my soda in laughter at the “TOOL OF THE OPPRESSOR” bit lmfao. Good shit.
Thank you for this. Travis for Smash!
Death drive is THE jam
Behold, the wild creature in its natural habitat.
The wild mammal known as the Thorius High Heelius.
It consistantly produces dank videos and draws in prey with his unique sense of style and humor.
*CLICK* Oh my... the prey has subscribed to his channel. The prey has been devoured once again.
I have to say I miss Suda games like Killer 7 when it was serious wacky Suda instead only wacky Suda like in No more heroes, lollipop chainsaw. I like all his games but that killer 7 tone is amazing. Thanks k you Thor I can die now in peace
I really enjoyed this game, especially the writing. If this game was just the text adventure I would have arguably loved it even more. The gameplay didn’t do it for me though. Without the spectacle of the of doing shadow steps or wrestling moves, it made many segments wear out their welcome fast. I’ve never played Hotline Miami and it’s never really appealed to me. The fighting felt like just a roadblock to the dialogue bits I really wanted. Though this game is something cool because it’s the game that Suda wanted to make, and I could feel his enthusiasm through the game. I’m glad Travis and Mondo got to meet. I always thought Travis (or some analog to him if there were legal issues) should have been a secret Boss in Killer is Dead. Great vid.
You are the only person on this platform who can put a wall of text on title screen and I'll pause and read no questions asked
Killer 7 was supposed to be what Travis Strikes Again was, lot of callbacks to his previous work.
It was actually. Various characters from his past games show up, it's just that no one outside Japan knew who they were at the time (and most still don't tbh).
@@thorhighheels At the time yes. Now he has the ability to cameo as much as he wants due to many of his previous work being playable as rereleases. Though I don't think I want to play Flower Sun and Rain just due to that game being released in the west as a DS game.
This is a super well made video, and I enjoy the editing and the attention this video got, Keep working on this sorta stuff my dude!
You have quickly become my favourite RUclips since I subscribed in 2017. Thanks for looking at all these spicy games that make me proud to be a gamer:)
Nice, thanks for still doing videos. I have been waiting for your thoughts on this game.
Love your videos! I think I’ve seen all of them 2 or 3 times.
Writing in TSA was so fucking captivating. The gameplay may have been a little repetitive, but damn is it worth it to see all the game has to offer.
I've been making my way through all your video's and, damn, your channels great. A real hidden gem.
Bro I love your fucking content. You have a unique, engaging style to your videos that keep me entertained all the way through. Keep up the good work!
Also, you excited for the next Suda release? :^)
Dude i really love the Suda 51 style, and of course i love your videos, i only hope this was not the last game for travis and later realese no more heroes 3
He said he would make one, and this game teases sequels like it's nobodies business, so I think it's safe to say we'll see a NMH3 soon enough.
Christ, this channel is fucking amazing. Keep it real my man, I love your work.
That's bullshit I didnt get a notification for this video I'm thankful for your analysis to the style that suda displays in his stories his abstract aesthetic is truly unique in his storytelling
youtube bad
@@thorhighheels youtube needs to step the fuck up and actually learn how to make a profit cause content like yours that takes time to get deep into abstract meanings of art is the only reason I still come on this site
I love your videos and the awesome Japanese games you review.
Almost like the Takashi Miike of video games.
I didn't know that you knew about dubfire or richie, things like that make this my fav channel
I highly recommend listening to Watch Dogs 2 OST if you want more video game trap music .
NMH is one of my favorites
You should take a look at the bloody roar series, boyo. But seeing as you have played most of the crap I played when I was a kid, you probably already played it, tho I'd like to see your take on it.
Suda games feel like the way an old Adult Swim bumper looks and sounds like.
I’m glad your took this angle, Thoro. I think it’s way too easy to rip TSA a new asshole. There is something redeeming and special in this game and it is the writing and presentation; I’ve never had a game so directly speak to me. It’s just that it’s usually not the thing you go looking for in...ya know, an interactive video game.
Could you do a ''so I've been playing'' on clock tower the struggle within please. Love your reviews I can't believe how undiscovered this channel is.
I'm sure I will one day, but don't really have any plans for it yet.
@@thorhighheels have you played Nocturne by terminal reality and their other games blair witch project volume 1 2 and 3, those games are pretty obscure and good too.
Man, way to make me understand how much I'm missing out on. I've never touched a Suda game, sadly. And I do not own a console for them, and I do not wish to pirate. Alas, my life will be Suda free.
The Silver Case, killer7 and The 25th Ward are on steam! killer7 is more of an action heavy game so if you don't like VNs you could just play that.
Late to the party or your channel. Your tastes are different than mine and it's interesting figuring out how certain mechanics can cause some to react. Good video.
P.s., had to explain to my girlfriend why the words "hacking and jacking off" came out of my phone, fun times
1 minute in and I'm already jizzing. I need your japanese game history knowledge and experience in my life
i never understand what the fuck you are referencing but i watch all the vids and love the aesthetics. there is something strangely poetic about your writing style and the way you deliver it in these very musical phrases both in tonality and articulation. the sentenses are always going in circles with a lot of rhymes and down played puns, very enjoyable. you also seem to be the only gamer who can identify electronic music styles. i also like your music but not so much the rick & morty bits lol
I stumbled upon your chanel bu chance, and I can't stress how much I love your content. Have you thought of making videos of The Evil Within, Alien: Isolation and perhaps the Obscure games? Love your stuff man, keep it up!
"Overcome and Shine On like the Crazy Diamond you are"
I'm gonna tip my thicc as fuck fedora to that excellent writing my lad.
Cheers to that.
The spunky yet funky funk yeah I cant say that 5 times fast
this is my favorite nmh game
you get a chip that lets you drop a healing field
I watched through your older reviews of the KTP games--I love running into anyone who really appreciates Suda's older works. And whenever I do, I always have to ask what your favorite is--with some caveats (I'd do it on ask FM if there wasn't a character limit). Usually I classify core Kill The Past games as Silver Case, FSR, and 25th Ward, with Killer 7 being more of a side-story, and Twilight/Moonlight Syndrome being too inaccessible. Though now I guess there's Travis Strikes Again, too ... It is way more related to the core three, possibly more so than FSR, but I'm not entirely sure about it. Anyway, of the core three, how do you rank them? Where does Travis Strikes Again rank if it's included? What do you consider to be the "core" of Kill The Past?
(Apologies if you've answered any of these before, I'm going to be working through the backlog of your other vids for a while :b)
I think my favorite is the 25th Ward. That game's style and tone and characters REALLY resonated with me. I guess I could say the same for FSR or Silver Case, but those both had some pretty tedious gameplay which held them back for me some what. As for Travis, I'm not sure if it is a kill the past game, but it certainly felt like one, more so then the actual No More Heroes games did. It's definitely up there with my favorite Suda games, as my favorite aspect of his games is always the writing, which this game had plenty of.
As for what I consider the "core" of kill the past, I'd say that it's a certain dark tone. Kinda like how I describe in this video. That tone isn't really there in NMH or Killer is Dead, but it's present in anything from Moonlight Syndrome to FSR. Also put the moon in everything lol.
that fucking donut lvl though
Suda51 sounds like a online name for a channel or account
you should play icey, cool chinese indie game with similarly meta content, quite short (and cheap) too
As of this month Suda 51 is no longer 51 :(
HELP!!!
IM LISTENING TO THESE TRACKS:

“Silver Face Theme”
ON MY 100th REPLAY!!! SEND HELP!!!
SHIT’S FIRE, AND SO IS MY HOUSE!!!
I'm so damn hype
I love the Y2K aesthetic. I think it's all part of this 'the past was better' vibe the entirety of culture seems to be going through right now. I had no clue what the YIIK game was until I youtubed it for reviews. Man, that game is cringy. I completely thought the postmodern RPG subtitle was what others had put in their video description, but no, that's its actual title. Yep. The writing is cringy af from what I've seen but so is some of the criticism of it. Makes me think of the Sonic dynamic that you raised well in your Sonic Advance Review. Cringy cringy cringy. I love that word. Maybe that's the thing culture is going through right now. Anyway, I love it, I'll always love it, and I love FFVIII. Esthar is like the ultimate Y2K city. The whole thing looks like it's made out of iMacs!
Anyway, I'm finally commenting on this video just now, but watched it ages ago when you first of all uploaded it, and am trying to remember all what you said. So sorry if this seems long and off topic! For me No More Heroes 1 and 2 got more credit than they deserved, whereas Suda's earlier and lesser-known works that you mentioned are better and more innovative, IMO (the one's I've played, anyway). Still, he has a range of styles and tones, which is to his credit, and Travis seems like a good fit for Smash, as I'm sure many have said. Folk have taken to him more than, say Sumio Mondo, Mask de Smith, or the likes. But those interfaces in Travis Strikes Again do look funky. I'd totally buy this if I had a Switch. Hopefully it'll come to other formats. Thanks for the vid!
Great video ! I really want to play some suda games but my country bans everything that has religion or sexual stuff in it ):
I know a dope game you should fuck with for PSX, it's called Gungage.
I WAITED SO LONG
That monkey brain eating sequence you use to highlight Suda's writing is actually written by Masahi Ooka of Placebo routes fame. I mean, it has a point, but I just wanna comment this to be a huge fuckin nerd here, thank you.
shhh don't tell anyone
Well damn, thanks for this, a damn good RUclips channel, who'd have thought.
Lol @UKGAYMER
Cold Rice is a pretty cool song. Sounds all depressing n shit, probably tricked some weebs into thinking they were deep but its just a dude talking about food.
I think it's not entirely right to use Badman VN as an example of Suda51's style because it's written by the author of Transmitter, not Suda himself. Otherwise great video.
*Placebo writer
I did not know this, why must you do this to me. The point still stands otherwise though.
@@thorhighheels yeah, just wanted to point out. Thanks for your videos, been watching for more than a year now!
Cool video but why was the killer7 footage so low quality? Gotta pick up that PC remaster ^___^
I had PS2 footage laying around and am lazy
@ThorHighHeels Thoughts on this video being 6 days before the DLC drop? Have you played it since then? I have honestly thought of getting it.
Same thing happens in a new game by the developers of Cat Lady called Loralie. In it there are so many references not only to video games but other things in popular culture. It does it so much that it ends up taking away from the overal creepy/surreal tone the game sets up and its a shame cause its a huge blemish on a otherwise interesting game. l
Do I hear you sprinkling German through out the video?
Have you been listening to Ramstein's new song or something.
*shameful dab* 👋🙌🤷🏻♂️
the best kind of dab second only to "dab to hide the tears"
“Over alles” mixing up you Dutch and English eh. Sounded funny tho
I said "uber alles" which is a reference to some creepo ass german phrase where they pretend that they're the best country. I would never mix up my dutch en engels.
ThorHighHeels hahaha alright it just sounded like “over alles”
Did you played Frog Fractions? I think Jim is the nearest to Suda that a western indie game dev can be. I like Pope but Jim is more crazyshit than him.
burger king gave me mad diarrhea
Straight up trap shit? Damn that's the best song you piece of... just kidding, love your videos. Love that song though.
I meant shit as in like stuff not shit as in like bad. I love trap music.
@@thorhighheels oh, my bad. I thought it was strange though, usually our tastes are pretty similar. Once again, love your videos.
There are almost no devs that are baby boomers. There's a lot of gen x but certainly not boomers
I know lol but I meant like boomers in spirit.
@@thorhighheels Liked the text wall, MDE inspired?
The fact that there aren't PC ports of every suda game makes me very sad.
i mean atleast Killer 7 is ported to Steam
Gameplay-wise, I kinda hate this game. But as a No More Heroes experience, it definitely fills the void before a possible NMH 3. I really liked the story and crazy Suda shit; I just wish the game was more fun.
What's the animation or game at 1:19, is it from travis strikes again?
Short Peace
What game is at 1:21?
Short Peace
Watching these videos almost makes me want to bring back my shitty Jontron-ripoff review channel from like 5 years ago just so "Dutch Loser Talks About Weeb Shit" can become a sub-genre.
Review no more heroes 2
what is the game with the giant dog chasing the person with the sword?
Moon RPG
No it's not
Do NMH 3 AAAAAAAH
holy fuck you are my age??? nice
I'm hitting a wall where I want to appreciate Suda's style but can't stand the crappy gameplay. Like, I was stoked to play Killer 7 when it came out on steam, only to immediately dislike the controls. What can I do?
This game got a lot of flack, unfortunately from reviewers. R.I.P. No More Heroes...
suda still wants to make nmh3
The end credits scene begs to differ
He wants to announce it at e3
@@daddyavocado5809 Wait, really?!
@@faidou9954 yeah, he's said it a few times in recent interviews
You talk more than Suda
First! Jk
WTF?! I'm 2 seconds in and Thor is already so cool on his own terms. BASED!
(I played YIIK and i didn't enjoyed. Now to the video.)
You're 26? I thought you were born in 2004?
Also, I say Soyboy and am most certainly not alt right. It's just funny.
