Well, at least the informational parts are good
I like how closely it sticks to the proper roguelike formula with a lot of mechanics. It's clear the devs have spent time playing tradahsxitional roguelikes
I hate that people actually waste their lives and ruin their personalities watching shit like this just so they can regurgitate everything they hear. Youtube slop has been a disaster for humankind.

There's a world of difference between folk tales that enrich culture and some soulless youtube drone reading off wikipedia while his parasocially addicted audience repeats everything he says as if it's the word of God despite never having played the game themselves. Watching youtube essays is the behavior of an utter husk of a human being.
I think the people that talk about games here actually play them tbh. Zoomers also can't rip off Ganker as a personality or a talking point, it's too antiBlack person for them.
there aren't any buzzwords in this post. good job proving his point

Literally everything was buzzwords and assertions laced with the emotional angst a 16yo goth girl. No substance or logical argument, which is rather ironic considering the context.

oh you don't know what a buzzword is and you're just getting emotional and defense because he nailed you 100%. okay anon.
tbf i watched the video and it's not just wikipedia stuff. it's the blog stuff too so at least he's informed. ik what you mean though, i hate those frickers too

what was the angel guy's fricking problem
The game specifically tells you to use it on God and the 'simulation' even teleports you to the bottom level and gives you a fresh gun to show you what you're supposed to do once you get there in reality. Did you not play the game?
Because the economy of every part of the internet including this website and this very thread is attention, and everyone tries to dogpile on what's getting even the slightest bit more attention. Content is so easy to make today because standards are so low that any small blip in the algorithm gets ridden to hell and back.
Yes, as [...] links it, it got finished just a few months ago, the same guy translated the Playstation version a year ago, but I the Saturn version is just too beloved by purists who see it as a definitive version, the fact it is the original version how the textures look make it the original author's vision.
freakin' sweet. why did they choose third-person for the PS2 remake? they did that with maken x too.
now that I think of it, smt and persona shifted into third-person in gen 6 as well.

The most impressive thing about Baroque is that the original devs are still around somehow, Sting is the exact kind of japanese developer from the nineties you would expect died as soon the early 2000's rolled around.
anyone got any other recommendations for youtubers that do janky japanese games?
marsh is whatever but he's a little too "lmao im so ironic" it's annoying. his fanbase is hella annoying too.
Watching vidya essays for shit you'll never play is fine. It gives you an insight into something without having to actually experience it. Using it as an excuse to spread word of a game to others is fine too, just don't be a homosexual about it.
I always really like watching videos about really obscure, weird or even charming gly bad games. I liked reading about that stuff when. I was younger and less games were localized, and that feeling of finding a secret and strange piece of work still remains.
Stuff like "Athena - Awakening from an Ordinary Life" and the like still spark my sense of wonder about games.
>It gives you an insight into something without having to actually experience it
No, it doesn't. The fact that you think it does is exactly the problem that people have with you. You think you have insight when you don't, which is worse than being in complete ignorance. I would rather you know nothing about a subject than for you to think that you do while having a head full of wrong information, and all information you get from a youtuber about how a video game plays is by necessity wrong.
What makes you think I'm bitter about anything? You're projecting that onto me because you don't like what I'm saying. I'm just stating an objective fact. You can't get insight about a game, movie or book from somebody telling you about it. That's always going to be a false sense of insight that leads to you making a fool of yourself if you rely on it.
how well does this emulate? I understand saturn emulation is troublesome but I'm not spending 500$ on a shit old console, scam ass premium cables and a stupid fricking upscaler like OSSC just to play this piece of shit. nor am I gonna overpay for a CRT because everyone 'knows what I got' nowadays
>eceleb brings attention to a good video game >gains traction >suddenly zoomers and shitposters alike ruin any and all discussion
first it was serani poji and now this. why can't we just have nice things
>first
There's been a pretty long line of games, movies, even cartoons and plenty of other shit whose discussion has been (non-permanently) ruined by some e-celeb drawing attention to it. The upside is people are talking about it, the downside is that people are talking about it and that means morons and attentionprostitutes alike will be butting in. The latter in particular around here.
Someone already did a video on Baroque a year ago with half a million views and nothing changed, the game still remained obscure. Same thing will happen this time.
nope, not yet
Mid shiren clone
Shadow tower owns this shit
never played the game btw
Shadow Tower isn't a roguelike.
Are you selling copies of this game on EBay or something?
It's just trannies trying to change the narrative
Some random fricker posted a video about it a few days ago on Youtube, so it's gaining some shitpost traction.

>4k views
Truthfully I only watched the SomaSpice video so I thought these threads was just him and his friend group shilling the game
Shills hunt in packs.
Never mind ignore me I didn't know another niche micro celebrity also made a shitty review on a game no one has ever heard of
>I've not heard about something so nobody has
This fricking site.
>he guy is a posterchild for that one forum where the Dead Internet Theory came from
QRD? How is this person related to that at all?
Baroque is based but you need to stop making these threads.
I got that on wii, but never played it. Should I?
Play the saturn version instead pls.
Not that anon but why the Saturn version?
Best aesthetic/visuals, ps1 version has a few decent additions but ruins the visuals a bit. and ps2/wii remake is just completely different.
here's a site that shows some comparison shots, and version differences: https://nervetower.neocities.org/lore5_versions
Holy fricking kino
>https://nervetower.neocities.org/lore5_versions
Alright this site is fricking amazing
I miss this internet
>explore site, absolutely loving it

God fricking dammit why this happen all the fricking time?
>massive obsession for someone else's labor
gee
You will never be a Baroque
the Wii game killed the original aesthetic, turned it into Anime (and made it easy I think?)
I like how closely it sticks to the proper roguelike formula with a lot of mechanics. It's clear the devs have spent time playing tradahsxitional roguelikes
Quit it with the GOD DAMN BAROQUE THREADS!
buck baroquen
Are we all in the same YT algorithm?

Anon you are on Ganker you have no room to talk, we do the same thing but with less effort and more ego.
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
thats you, you're reeing yeah you just did that WOW you just did that yeah you kinda do that now
I think the people that talk about games here actually play them tbh. Zoomers also can't rip off Ganker as a personality or a talking point, it's too antiBlack person for them.

BROKE homieS
BAROQUE homieS
Board stand for Baroque
>zoomers finally got to baroque
at least dept heaven is still too based for them...
>dept heaven
thanks bro, my next video will be on this
>is still shit for them
ftfy
love me sum Tobe's designs tho
Honestly, it feels like it's a matter of time.
I ALMOST BAROQUE MY PECKER IN YOUR MOMS ASS, YOU FRICKING homosexual!
I felt like this game was too obtuse for the time but honestly it would probably be tolerated much better now.
It's ludo kino
I like the boba beast cover art
Was there ever a fan translation for the saturn version?

Cool soundtrack.
Are we supposed to hate this now that people know of it?

did some youtuber talk about it?

Then I'll recommend Marrow to ya. It's a super obscure (for a good reason) horror Metroidvania.

My dude, you've earned this (You) for being so irascibly bitter. Color me impressed.
he's right you vicarious homosexual, you probably watch streamers play new releases then come post in threads like you played the game too

homies getting pretentious over knowing about sting games that they only knew about in the first place because they were on the Ganker wiki
Looks like you failed at not being a homosexual.
Most unfortunate. :^)
>homies getting pretentious over knowing about sting games that they only knew about in the first place because they were on the Ganker wiki
Stale meme
so trve he should've said "based" and something that ends with "oomer" instead
how well does this emulate? I understand saturn emulation is troublesome but I'm not spending 500$ on a shit old console, scam ass premium cables and a stupid fricking upscaler like OSSC just to play this piece of shit. nor am I gonna overpay for a CRT because everyone 'knows what I got' nowadays
>game is mentioned
>immediately melt down over CRTs, cables and consoles
rent free
I'll probably still get one of your pointlessly overpriced upscalers but for my ps2, fricking saturn ain't worth it
so how well does it emulate
That's a good reaction, anon
Mednafen is pretty good for Saturn games, although I haven't tried this one.
Baroque x Dokapon when?
After Baroque x Puyo Puyo
