Zero reader interest, eh? And only four people watched the last video. I guess I'll just post the next boss fight vid once I have the time, and consider this LP done with.

I can only hope that all those 45 people who watched the first video decided to play the game themselves. :P The action is pretty good in this one.

Yeah, I've actually been playing this game little by little. Yesterday I defeated the boss you are about to face (btw, do you get the weird glitch where its textures don't show up?). I went a little bit further and the game crashed.

Anyway, playing the game made me realise how its gameplay is similar to TWitcher 2... except better. You don't mind if I use your videos to troll initiate serious and :monocle: discussion on TW2 forumns? :smug:

I'm interested, I just don't have the time to watch videos so I only read your written updates.

I see, the Codex cannot into video/hybrid LPs. All the more reason to call it a day.

Yes, unfortunately... I'm trying to find a way to fix that, but it seems to have something to do with the English patch, since I'm getting it on both my PC and my laptop. Weird.

Naturally it's better than Witcher 2's combat. This is a good fast-paced action game, while W2 fails at good action combat. And yeah, go ahead, sure. I believe there must be some better videos on Youtube, though -- some later bosses should be even more fun!

Also, there's just one thing I wanna say to all those who're still considering whether they should play Ys Origin or not:

If you enjoyed Oath in Felghana, you're bound to enjoy Ys Origin!!

That's all, Bee out.

It's not lack of interest, really.

:love:

Like, once I noticed I would enjoy the game I had to stop reading, otherwise I would totally spoil it.

Though I have to give you SA's LP community thingie is much more active and participative and stuffies.

@ Azira

Asking my dad to autorize credit card payment to SA would be about as much of a bad idea as asking him to autorize credit card payment to KKKodex. Like, really bad. Awful, even. So if someday I pack I'll just make an LPing blog thingie or some stuffie like that and be done with it.

@ ChiBee

Awww, you were LPing sentinel worlds and didn't told me! :cry:

*coughes and points to the sig* Both of my earthbound lps had videos, you know :roll:

I... I was trying to get some combat experience! And I even got permission from the Reverend.

Apparently characters here are aware of their leveling up mechanics.


Continue your good fight, miss Bee (or should I say mother Bee?). Too bad that you're wasting your talents (and good lps) with something so awful :M

Did I miss the part when it turned out that Y's Origin was awful?

Haha, no, by "awful" lightbane meant the Something Awful boards, not this game.

:lol:

No, thankfully. My current avatar is simply meant to represent the "get back to the kitchen" meme. Or some such.

Oh yeah. In case anyone's wondering about the fate of this LP...

I'm still trying to get around that no-texture bug. It's... well, bugging me. It must have something to do with the translation patch... I've recorded a video of the 2nd boss fight (without the textures) already, but, well, why post it in that form? There are plenty of vids on Yewtube already anyway.

I think it may have more to do with the new gereation of graphic card drivers, Bee.

I just want to say this game's bloody awesome on Nightmare. Even the first boss can kill you in about three strikes, which makes the battle totally awesome.

@ Miss Bee

In case you haven't yet fixed the texture problem, I found you need to either run the game with your system in Japanese Locale or use AppLocale to emulate it. Most problems with Japanese games are solved by either, or both, as the game can't find some of it's resources otherwise.

Hmm, didn't I use Applocale? :? I thought I did. Thanks, KT, I'll give it a try anyway once I'm done with whatever games I'm playing/LPing at the moment!

But thanks for the heads-up.
