Later this day I will get back to Final Fantasy X International on PS2 live on Owncast. 16 hours into the game, I haven't played and streamed this one for over a year yet. 🎥FFX International is an updated version released in Japan in 2002. It's my first and only import so far. I decided to import this version because it runs in 60 fps and it offers the same extended features like the PAL release. Luckily my modded PS2 runs import games. 🇯🇵freestreamers.btfree.org/event#Owncast #retrogaming #gaming

 

Spent this morning looking offstream for the stamp in Super Mario 3D World I couldn't find during yesterday's stream. Snapshot mode is a very handy tool here. 📸 Also now seem to know what the 8bit sprites from the game's characters in some of the levels indicate: You need another character here to reach the secret. In this case Luigi who can jump higher than Mario. ⬆️Will stream the further playthrough later this day, 3pm CET. Seems like we already reached the final world. 🏰#Owncast #gaming

 

"Could have been the best Western Silent Hill title but fails due to lacking investment in technical optimization."I wrote down my thoughts on my first playthrough of Silent Hill: Downpour on PlayStation 3.That one escalated a bit, but the Silent Hill series bears a special meaning for me and therefore deserved a proper and detailed assessment. 📝questlog.app/games/silent-hill#gaming #retrogaming #videogames #games #horror #horrorgames #SilentHill #review #blog #writing #PS3

...Secret of Evermore is not an entry in the Mana series. ⚔️It was released in North America in 1995 and in Europe in 1996. A Japanese release was planned to follow the North American release by a few months but was ultimately cancelled. 🗾The game received positive reviews for its graphics and gameplay but was criticized for not being up to the expectations based upon the developer's previous Japanese role-playing games. 🤔🧵 2/2#RetroTrivia #retrogaming #gaming #videogames #games #rpg

Beginning of the intro in the German version of Secret of Evermore on Super Nintendo. The story begins with a black and white flashback to 1965, in a small town called Großostheim, Germany. In a laboratory situated on the roof of a mansion, a malfunction occurs which causes the area to flood with a white flash of light. Thirty years later, the game's young protagonist is leaving a theater when his pet dog chases after a cat on the street, the boy hurriedly following him.

    In early 1994, the development of Secret of Evermore began at SquareSoft, the Redmond, Washington, office of the Japanese parent company Square. The concept of an "American-flavored Secret-of-Mana-like" game was dictated from overseas. 🫵Many elements of Secret of Evermore were copied from Secret of Mana because they had proven to be effective. Despite the similar game mechanics and a similar title...🧵 1/2#RetroTrivia #retrogaming #gaming #videogames #games #rpg

    @dylenar I also played and enjoyed, but never finished that one.But I actually fully played through Divinity II: Ego Draconis.I got into both these games because they reminded of the Gothic series, offering a non-handholding gaming experience where you have to find out things by yourself.

    @dylenar I played Original Sin II much more. Nearly finished it but canceled in the last chapter. This was before they redesigned the final chapter after the critics about it being worse than all the other chapters.

    I have to rely on mobile gaming these days and therefore decided to start into 2014 Divinity: Original Sin on my Tuxedo laptop again. I already played the game during its initial release but stopped after maybe ~40%. 🧙While I rely on the digital version of the game, of course I had to go for the retail box to add it to my physical collection. The box is unopened, came for a decent price and coincidentally with a sealed copy of Desperados III. 📦#gaming #games #game #videogames #Linux #tuxedo

    @nazokiyoubinbou I'm really impressed by the fact that with all those cuts SoM nevertheless became such a masterpiece. Hard to imagine what could have been when the developers didn't have to deal with the cartridge limitations.

    Secret of Mana was originally planned to be a launch title for the canceled SNES-CD add-on. 💿To fit the storage space of a SNES cartridge up to forty percent of the planned game needed to be dropped. ❌One of the most significant changes was the removal of the option to take multiple routes through the game that led to several possible endings. The plot that remained was different from the original story that had a much darker tone. 🎞️#RetroTrivia #retrogaming #gaming #games #videogames #rpg

    Again, Wario Land 4 is peak puzzle platforming. 🏆In every level of the game there are four jewel piece boxes hidden. I needed one hour to find the last box of today's level, while also in this case there have been fair indicators pointing you in the right direction. You just have to find and read them properly. 🔍Video shows how I find the entrance to the jewel piece box and how I manage to access the entrance during the levels escape sequence. 💡 #retrogaming #gaming #game #games #Owncast

    Me playing the level Doodle Woods in Wario Land 4 for Game Boy Advance during today's stream. Video consists of two scenes: The first one is about how I find the entrance to the last jewel piece box in the level and the second is about how I manage to access the entrance during the levels escape sequence.

    ...in the series to feature an open world called Bayview, which itself is based on the U.S. cities of San Francisco and Los Angeles. 🌆The game sold around 11 million copies and is widely regarded as one of the best games of the series due to the quality of the gameplay, the length, the endless customization, the interesting side-missions, the graphics, and the addition of open-world free roam. 🚗🧵2/2#RetroTrivia #retrogaming #gaming #games #videogames #cars #auto

    After more than two weeks I got back into Owncast streaming and continued my Wind Waker playthrough. 🌬️We defeated the first boss of the game but then were immediately stuck when we reached the next island. There we needed to help the Deku Tree get rid of the creatures stuck to him. While considering that we still miss items to do so and even need to get back to the previous island to find them, rolling against the tree did the job... 🪾#Owncast #retrogaming #gaming #videogames #games #Zelda
