I'm addicted to unicorn overlord right now, highly recommend.
Same. Stuck on who to pick to give maidens ring to. Only have Yahna as an option now. I want an elf chick.
Same here, also Ocean Star 2 is great as well.
Gamecube was such a great console. It was a crime that it didn't move at least Wii-level units back when. That whole era of consoles in fact (Dreamcast, Playstation 2, Gamecube, Xbox) was the golden era as far as I'm concerned. Thanks for reminding me about The Quarry. Forgot all about it.
Perfect example of you never truly grow up. So cool you are a gamer and collector too. Subscribed to both channels
I appreciate that!
The game you bought, is the second game of the second arc! The best thing to do is to start from the beginning (Trails in the sky). But you are a very busy dad and entrepreneur so... Start at trails from zero. Some things concerning returning characters will fly other your head but you won't be lost !
Trails, either start with Trails in the Sky 1 (Sky trilogy), Trails from Zero (Crossbell duology, Azure that you picked up is its second part), or Trails of Cold Steel 1 (4 Cold Steel games) all related stories but pick from those 3 substories and play whichever subseries in order then go to the other ones in order. Also Turbografx-16 has a precursor to Trails called Legend of Heroes Dragon Slayer
It's so odd and refreshing to see Clayton talk about current events AND video games, lmao!
Trails to Azure is the fifth game in the series, and they're all interconnected. If you want to experience Trails in its fullest, then start with Trails in the Sky FC (First Chapter). You will not regret it! Here is the order of the games: Liberl Arc: Trails in the Sky FC Trails in the Sky SC Trails in the Sky the 3rd Crossbell Duology: Trails from Zero Trails to Azure (I highly recommend you at least play Zero before this one) Erebonia Arc: Trails of Cold Steel Trails of Cold Steel 2 Trails of Cold Steel 3 Trails of Cold Steel 4 Trails into Reverie
The cold steel games really appeal to me but the earlier games just don't inspire me. They just don't look or feel good to me and I love playing older games. I'm sure they are amazing games, everybody raves about them. I end up just moving on but I really want to check that series out
You should definitely give them a chance. I went in with extremely low expectations (after hearing people say how amazing the series is) and throughly enjoyed them. I beat one game and jumped straight into the next one, i couldn't put it down. Just remember that the first could of games are old and things are obviously outdated but they are extremely enjoyable
Kena was an incredible game! I was expecting just a fun little Pixar looking adventure from a new indie studio, but man was I surprised! Beautiful world, great music, graphics, story and excellent and challenging gameplay. I couldn't believe how good the game was when I played it two years ago.
This channel is the positivity I needed in my day. Thanks for your lovely commentary as usual. ✨
As for the Trails series, start with Trails in the Sky. I'm a new Trails player myself and I started with Sky FC and then finished Sky SC some time later. I plan on continuing with the series. Sky trilogy can be played on any PC or a PSP. Or a Vita, where you can even install English translation patch for the Evolution versions (which are basically remasters with new character portraits, new versions of the music tracks, new UI etc.)
Retro gamer is a fun informative magazine
The older i get the more I appreciate beautiful art like games
I adore Gris. It's one of the most beautiful games I've played.
I love the Trails series! They have great characters, music, art, and some of the best world-building in gaming. I started with the Trails in the Sky trilogy, then went into the Cold Steel arc (4 games), and finally imported the Crossbell duology before the official releases in the US. Nihon Falcom actually used the fan translation from The Geofront mod team as the base for those official English releases too. By starting in Trails to Azure, you'll probably be missing some context for a few things, like who some characters are and previous story events, but it shouldn't be too bad.
Yay the volume is a bit louder, thank you! I love absolutely that you're a gamer and talk about them along with Redacted, work and then play. Based content creator/journalist.
I’m still of the firm belief that we’re in a golden age for gaming. Wow - Y’s and Sol-Deace… awesome! Sol-Deace (which, I ‘think’ was also Sol-Feace… with an F; naming conflict, I beleive) was a shooter I’d always wanted to try… Shmups are amongst my favorites. As for Y’s; if you’ve never tried “Y’s & the Vanished Omens” on the Sega Master System, it was tons of fun. Great haul, and great video! (Belated) Happy Birthday, of course! …always looking forward to your next vids. Cheers! 😊
Sol feace is the same game but it's the CD version of the game. It's got cutscenes and enhanced music.
Drainus looks really beautiful, i love to play my Switch in handheld mode
Wicked haul!! That Polymega sounds pretty rad as well. Might have to check that out🤙
The quarry is a really cool game! Reminded me of being a teenager staying up late watching horror movies
The quarry? Really? The wokest piece of crap when it comes to adventure horror games? I seriously hope he does not take your advice. That is the worst purchase I have made in a while. And I could not even return it.
Sol deace/feace is absolutely fantastic. I was gifted it by my uncle as a very small child for genesis. Always loved it. Never finished it. Maybe one day. Still got the same cartridge
I had Star Ocean 2nd Story for the PS1 back in the day. I enjoyed the game; the battle system was unique vs traditional JRPGs or up until that time at least. But Star Ocean has so much customization & so many story directions, I know I didn't finish the game. Still, it's not a bad game; Star Ocean was a victim of release timing & Square's success w the Final Fantasy franchise. FFVII dropped in NA ~Sept. of 1997 & work on FFVIII had already started before FFVII was released. Following the success of FFVII, the hype that would eventually build for FFVIII was tremendous, & it dropped in ~Feb. of 1999. Star Ocean carried the Square name, it was going to be compared to FFVII & they could have dropped Star Ocean in NA in 1998 if they had pushed it. Instead, Star Ocean wouldn't be released until the Summer of 1999 in NA. It was still compared to FFVII & FFVIII, but those were the first mainstream JRPGs to take off like that in NA. Star Ocean is a JRPG, but it's not like the Final Fantasy Franchise, nor was it headed in the same direction Final Fantasy was going. So, the game was considered just an "average" RPG when it was released in NA back in 1999. However, I would imagine Star Ocean today would be considered well above average by a Retro Gamer.
For trails games you should REALLY start with trails in the sky and work up from there. It's extremely recommended to play them in order of release as it is one big continuous story. You could start with trails from zero but you would miss a lot of story and context and certains things would not be very impactfull. Its not recommended to start with cold steel as that spoils major events from trails to zero/azure and you wont really know what's going as it's expected for you to know what's happening up to that point.
Gris is so good. I loved my experience with it. Absolutely beautiful, moving, and also fun gameplay. I have recently started Trails in the Sky (finished FC and half way through SC). I have loved starting at the beginning. I hear you CAN start at any first game of an arc (Trails in the Sky FC, Trails from Zero, or Trails of Cold Steel 1) but I have to echo the majority and say that starting with Sky has been a brilliant experience so far.
If you’re gonna start with the trails series you should start with Trails in the sky FC (first chapter). It’s the very start of the whole thing, and the games get progressively more user friendly as the series progresses (so it’s hard to go BACK to an antiquated game after having the quality of life that the newer ones provide) Besides, the first one is amazing. You should really get a steam deck if you don’t have one dude. The base OLED model would suit you well. And the whole trails series is on PC
Introduce your kids to two PC games - Trailmakers and Astroneer. Very good for logic, creation, planning, organisation, etc. Every kid should play Astroneer especially.
I highly recommend to begin to with the "Trails in the Sky" series. All Trails games have a own story but the universes are somewhat connected to each other. The Sky series has some very important details you might want to see in the other series later on. Everything has a meaning and the different plots demand on something you've might noticed in one of the previous games already. All I can say the Trails series in general is one of the best JRPG ever made.
The Trails games are very long games, lots of reading involved. I've never played one, but everyone says to start from the beginning as you will spoil the story for the previous games.
I remember Ninja Spirit having a notorious, hard-to-get-through drop just before the end of the game. Awesome game, though.
yeah, I was playing it wrong until I figured out the secondary weapons like molotov cocktails, whips, etc, then got all the way to the last level and could never beat it on that infamous final drop. But that was before YT showed me the way
I’m really happy about the update Star Ocean 2 R got. It’s an amazing game, but it’s biggest problem was how easy it is to get way overpowered and be unstoppable. I’m not going to replay it so soon, but when i do I look forward to the new difficulty, and content. I’ve been replaying my favorite Larian game Divine Divinity. It was their first game, and is an isometric action RPG. Sort of like Diablo, but an open world, and you can multi class all the abilities and spells. It’s seriously one of the best RPGs ever made, and is so overlooked. I hope Larian makes another one like it, and takes a break from the CRPGs after Baldurs Gate 3
Thanks for the heads up on Gris. It's on offer right now on the ps5. It definitely has that "Journey" vibe, one of the best Indie games ever made, I might add.
I just can't imagine playing the full sized Switch in handheld mode - just too big and too heavy for me. Switch is always played docked for me. You have an interesting bunch of games listed here - loved a lot of the Gamecube library. So cool that you were at E3 for the 3DS announcement - that is still my favorite console.
I use the Satisfye grip and feels like a legit controller playing handheld. I get it tho.
Octopath Traveler 2 slaps!
Ah Clayton i am so glad you picked up a Legend of Heroes game. Trails from Zero is the first one in the duo-logy of games then move on to play Trails to Azure. If you want the full chronology in order to play the series then here it goes and where to play them. Trails in the Sky (Available on Steam / PC with English translations) Trails in the Sky Second Chapter (Available on Steam / PC with English translations or PS Vita digital store front) Trails in the Sky the 3rd (Available on Steam / PC with English translations) Trails from Zero (Available on PC, PS4 or Switch) Trails to Azure (Available on PC, PS4 or Switch) Trails of Cold Steel (Available on PC, PS Vita, PS3, PS4, PS5 & Switch) Trails of Cold Steel II (Available on PC, PS Vita, PS3, PS4, PS5 & Switch) Trails of Cold Steel III (Available on PC, PS4, PS5 & Switch) Trails of Cold Steel IV (Available on PC, PS4, PS5 & Switch) Trails into Reverie (Available on PC, PS4, PS5 & Switch) Trails Through Daybreak (Available on PC, PS4, PS5 & Switch coming Summer 2024) If you play the series on dedicated hardware you gain bonus rewards with the save data. For the older versions of the games like Legend of Heroes Trails of Cold Steel I & II if you play these on PlayStation Vita and PlayStation 3 you can freely cross-save your data between the two systems in and out of the house. You can cross-save to PS4 or PS5 as well but its only done one time and is not retroactive. If you own a PlayStation Vita you can also play Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky 1-3 on one dedicated system so long as you've hacked your console and downloaded the fan-translated patches. I hope this helps and welcome to the Falcom universe of Legend of Heroes :D
If you love games like Until Dawn or The Quarry, you would love The Dark Picture series. or heavy Rain, Beyond two souls, and Detroit become human. those are good games that have multiple ending based on your chose.
Ys, one of my favorite series of all time. Music, gameplay, characters. Just love it. Cant wait for ys nordics to come out in the US.
Trails from Zero, then Azure, then the sky games.
Wow! What a haul. Congrats on the Polymega. I love the idea of it but I heard there were some bugs. Some of the games had some hiccups in gameplay or sound. Hopefully when you are able to set it up and dive into the games, there will be some software updates to fix the issues. Because I have my retro consoles up and running, the Polymega is not for me but I definitely can see the appeal of it. A modern multi-system console I have been really enjoying and highly recommend is the Analogue Pocket. I don't have all the adapters to it but I have the system, the dock and the Sega Game Gear adapter. All the games work flawlessly and I am able to play Game Boy, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance and Sega Game Gear on the amazing screen of the system and docked to my TV. There was just a simplicity and fun factor associated with those early 8 and 16-bit games and that greatness was just continued with all those portable systems of the time. The only downside was the limited screen technology but the Analogue Pocket fixes all that. The next 3 adapters were just released which allows you to play Neo Geo Pocket, Atari Lynx and Turbografx-16 but you have the Tubografx-16 covered with your Analogue Duo that is if you can find them in stock. The Analogue Pock has to be one of the best retro game systems ever made. Don't know how I missed Kena, but that game looks outstanding. It does remind me of what Pixar used to be and the fact what you see are in game graphics is insane. I see it is Deck Verified so I will be picking it up for my Steam Deck. Thanks for the video and continue to enjoy those games! It is an amazing time to be a gamer and just in time to help provide a break from all the craziness we have to face in the day to day.
For the switch look at the Binbok controllers. Very comfortable for hand held. Also double as a pro controller for docked mode.
Thanks for your additional time! Going over video games! Also love other talk show! Happy late birthday!
Gris is a beautiful game with amazing music! I'm jealous that you get to play Metroid Prime 2 for the first time, because it's amazing! It's hard, has dark atmosphere and the world is very labyrinthine. There's some really interesting looking areas in the game. Paper Mario TTYD is amazing too, so enjoy! I never finished SMT IV: Apocalypse, but I played through SMT IV and it's one of the best JRPG's I've played.
Hori pad is a game changer. I love it.
Such great pickups , mega thumbs up
I got those joycon pros just for Metroid Prime Remaster.., so I could assign the extra back triggers for jumping.., so I never have to take my thumbs off the sticks when jumping, looking, exploring.., love them
SMT Apocalypse was also my first one in the series. Very dark and some mature subjects. Hope you like it.
The Split Pad Pro is a pretty good accessory. Unfortunately, I bought the one that doesn't have vibration. Oh well. I still love it.
Your the man brother. Thanks for the world news and my other favorite past time. ❤
I love the HORI controller for switch, its my most comfortable controller. However I prefer the look and compact ability of the Nitro Deck. It also has a pretty nice case. I have the HORI case as well I just find it makes the switch look unusually long. Great music selection by the way.
The TurboGrafx the best 8 bit console around. Until about 3 years ago I always thought it was a 16 bit CPU. But nope just the same 6502 as in the commodore vic20 and NES and so many others. They offloaded the graphics to a 16 bit gpu but still it’s incredible that it looks and feel so much like the X68000. Which I wish I would own 😂
I hate to tell you but it looks like they are just shrink wrapped which is something I know for a fact that Electronics Boutique/EB Games/Game Stop used to do in the past or maybe even still does. There should be a Y-fold seal in the wrap which is done by a special machine that is done in factory packaging.
Love the video, feel more in common with you for both news and gaming, your awesome!
I catch a lot of heat but I think Prime 2 is better than the first. I think Prime 2 is the best Then Prime 1 And then Prime 3. Also GameCube games must have titles. It's the second console I bought with my own money so I know a lot about it. Eternal Darkness , Rouge squadron 2, Billy hatcher and the giant egg, metroid prime 1 and 2, Zelda the wind waker, zelda twilight princess , zelda collectors edition, zelda ocarina of time master quest. Mario sunshine , Gladius, resident evil 0 , 1 , 4. Skies of Arcadia legends , soul caliber 2 ( best version) links a fighter. Man it has a ton.
Wow. Great to hear that. I LOVED Prime 1 so I'm excited to play 2.
Game Sack just did an episode on the Polymega. It seems the Genesis module is really tight on cartridges (like the Retron 5), so be careful with that if you get the module. I was thinking of getting one, but maybe they'll do one with a more powerful chipset for better emulation...Madlittlepixel upgraded its chip and improved some performance.
i have star ocean for Switch
I got it for PS5 and loving it but something inside me kinda wished that I got it for the switch games like this are just perfect and made to play handheld. Also the same for Unicorn Overlord.
That thumbnail 😂 I see what you did.
You should probably start at "Trails of Cold Steel".
Great reviews Clayton. Cheers.
It's nice to see you during content like this Clayton. I am a fan and I do like redacted it's nice to do content that isn't always doom and gloom
Great vid man thnx. I also get Retro Gamer mag, it is v good. Also still play on my OG RE4 Gamecube. You gotta get the Spiderman games, and ofc Simpsons Hit n Run. Love the idea and design of the Polymega too. Does it use emulation or does each component use OG hardware?
It plays original cartridges so it’s similar to the Analogue systems, no emulation.
@@ClaytonMorris ok excellent. Thanks for the info.
Star Ocean 2 is good have the original for the PS1 and the remaster for the PS4. The first star Ocean takes place with Claudes father it's also worth playing you can get it physically for the superfamicom or PSP or download on PS4.
Wow this is weird. I’m a Palestinian American video game collector & I watch your news updates on YT but yet I’m seeing you here with a video game collecting channel?!? Haha this is so cool man & you never know who is also a video game collector/gamer out there! The whole Gaza “war” has stopped me from hunting for games & making videos since last November tbh it’s very depressing & I didn’t have it in me to keep doing my hobbies while crazy stuff is happening in Gaza. But I’m loving your channel & plz keep up the good work on both channels man & thank you for being a real one 👍.
Yep. Knew Redacted before this. He was even on the same game I was on, Xenoblade.
@@jaredwtaylor that’s really cool. I’m still surprised he has a gaming channel haha, time to start watching all of his older videos on this channel.
My blessing and my heart go out to you and your people. What they are doing to them in Gaza isn't right. No matter what the media says. Just know, some of us know the truth. God bless man
@@cuddybang screw Allah he's a kiddy fiddler diddler😂
@@dannyd4339 thank you for the kind words Danny I really appreciate that ❤️🙏. It’s people like Clayton that are spreading the truth & facts that the main stream won’t dare talk about and I can’t thank him enough. Let’s keep Gaza in our prayers & pray the carnage stops asap. Those kids in Gaza should be playing video games with their friends instead of playing real life survival. I would like to start a video game drive for the children of Gaza once this hell their going thru is over, I’m hoping video games with help them forgot what they just went thru.
Those are some nice pickups Clayton.
Clayton, what a haul! I just completed my first endings on Star Ocean today! I’m gonna say Star Ocean Second Story R has a ton for you to like. The Star Ocean series is basically Star Trek the jrpg. A federation with a prime directive? My favorites are 2 and 6 with 2 being my favorite jrpg of all so far in my 51 years lol. I hope you have a blast with all those game gems you got there. Thanks for another great video.
Picked up Yoshis story recently for the 64 looks like a sequel to Yoshi's Island 🤔 enjoying it so far.
Weird, I'm literally playing Gris right now, on Game Pass! Fantastic game!! 😊
the first game reminds me or ori.... i think it is ori and the forest or something .Ori and the Blind Forest... happy easter dude!!! ima go switch shopping today..... blah.... i would start at 1 and move up... just me. and u went and got a fancy emulator! gratz!!!
I really enjoy your content and the way you relate and articulate your love for games and the like I have to say me personally I only play a handful of games. You ever played any Tom Clancy games?
I want to play Star Ocean Divine Force
We’re literally the same person awesome to see a fellow gamer. We need get tucker into gaming lol
Incredible video, I want to ask you so much. Star Ocean 2 is Enix's baby so the remaster is incredible. I'm not sure about Polymega, are they available in the UK and EU? If not then I'm sticking with emulation.
It is! I ordered mine and received the Polymega here in Portugal.
What do you think of VR I have the quest 2 but I only play on it for 6 hour and I had it for 3 months.
I have to try out the Hori switch pad. The switch just feels too Jinky with joy cons.
Great pickups I can’t wait I’ll be in the Philippines next month and I love game hunting there the prices are significantly lower then in Canada and there’s lots of physical games you can’t get here.
I like your emphasis on original hardware. I have a tote full of consoles. I do want to checkout the new Tomb Raider remaster. I did begin new playthroughs on PS2 slim last year w/ a decent upscaler.
Clayton you should check out The Messenger and its prequel Sea of Stars, one of the best indies out there with amazing storytelling.
The system I never played with neo Geo
Kena is on my list . Thanks for your review . 😊
Prim 4 can't wait for it 🙌
Nice pickups. I love The Quarry. Have you tried the Dark Pictures anthology? Some great, similar games there. My daughter is into (and got me into) retro gaming. We looked everywhere for 1,000 year door before finally finding one 70 miles away.
Also, the Trails series has multiple arcs. I agree with others that you should start at the beginning with Trails in the Sky.
Yeah i can't find first game online to buy it . What name of it .
didn't get Ys 3 Wanderers from Ys on the Turbografx-16 yet? Or maybe the remake Ys Oath in Felghana which is on Steam and PSP and is even better.
How much was that poly mega setup? Thousands?
Have you played the last of us? Im not a big story gamer tbh but thats one of the very few games i didnt skip the cutscenes. Characters and voice acting is insanely good
Very nice!! Enjoy your gaming and see you during the week in Redacted.
Clayton you should really check out the Dark Pictures anthology games! I think you'd like them. Same makers of until dawn.
Have you been playing Final Fantasy Rebirth?
Ayo, you're a gamer that's what's up. Did you play the demo of Stellar Blade??
And happy related birthday too u as well Mr Clayton Morris man you enjoy your evening and night and a awesome start too your workweek 😁😃🖐️😄🙌😁👏👋.
This guy looks too be my age but probably looks alot better. I still love games but when life gets crappy and your health goes to hell I find them hard to play now but games help me at time to get my brain into gear. Just some advice for people out there don't smoke. It gets you in the end.
Hey Mr Clayton sir good evening too you and happy Sunday too you and your family as well I remember playing most of these fun games as a kid in middle school good times of my childhood of the past of growing up video games was the fun times of my kid life growing up and all of the Nintendo video games and gaming consoles too fun exciting ways too explore and tour a lot of fun games and make some friends and fight enemies and all save the day like Mario games the first paper Mario game #1 and paper Mario #2 which is the thousand year door that one was my most favorite and saving the crystal stars on the 2ND paper Mario game and super paper Mario part #3 great awesome games of the day and past and exploring Mario games a lot too. I enjoy all of awesome video games of the day and past and Nintendo switch system greatest games ever. I am going too get them all back one day and play them all again and wonderful video games. I appreciate you so much Clayton man for always sharing these awesome videos and everything you a great man and friend and husbands too your wife and dad too your kids you a wonderful man I enjoy the greatest videos all the time you enjoy your evening and night Clayton man and happy april 1 early tomorrow morning😁😃🖐️😄🙌🙏👏👋.
Another great video! Any chance you have a discord or similar going? I somehow feel your viewers might be an intelligent bunch who could provide some fun chats to mix up your every day life at the office and family life. We all need some escapism, don’t we? :)
My biggest problem with the switch is that it’s a potato. I really would like to play TOTK at more than 25fps, I’m sure it would make the game feel better than it does. Otherwise it just plays like poo. Some ergonomic controllers that don’t suck would be nice as well, those Hori split pads are actually bad ergonomically and the wake feature they try to sell doesn’t even work (the thing most people buy them for) I guess once an Xbox guy always an Xbox guy.
You're awesome.
comfy video :D
Didn't know you had a gaming channel.
F the Polymega. I ain’t spending $550 for glitchy software emulation.
I wish you were my neighbor
The guy that looks like a Fall out 3 civilian plays vvideo games.
Don't agree with your politics, but I do like the Xenoblade music in the background.
Dude, get a steam deck. You will never look back. You can wirelessly play your ps5 and you can put switch games and basically any other console's games on it to take on the go or play in bed
Steam Deck is trash compared to Rog Ally or Legion Go. Mine oled steam deck could not run Dragons Dogma 2 while my other Rog and Legion run it pretty well. There are lots of games that the steam deck can't run or have trouble running like indie titles.
@@mosthated8848 that's a lie. You chose an interesting day to be so hateful but since you wanna go down that road, there are plenty of issues with the legion go and ROG ally. Which is why the steam deck still greatly outsells them. Not to mention that is just a pc in handheld form. Only the steam deck gives you the quote on quote "console experience" now you can keep coping with your purchase and bad decisions, but for non pc people and console fans, the steam deck keeps being the superior option and the best bang for your buck.
The Legend of Nayuta: Boundless Trails (Chrono Cross/Reset World) The Legend of Heroes: Trails from Zero The Legend of Heroes: Trails to Azure The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel 1-4 The Legend of Heroes: Trails into Reverie No need to play The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky 1-3 because it is so boring. The female lead is the worst in Trails in the Sky.
