Quote from: NightWolve on 05/23/2015, 12:48 AMLast I heard of Chris, he was thinking of deactivating his Facebook account citing a "broken heart..." I and others commented thumbs down on the idea and I think he just deleted the thread later. Anyway, doubt he's thinking about a new episode as of late.
But there's still half the library to review :(  I just recently got hooked on Turbo Views with that catchy rocking theme song intro.  If I had to make one complaint I'd say spida is too kind to the bad games.
No, everybody is so quick to trash a game.

A truly wonderful aspect of Bucci is that he tries to find something to appreciate.

It's so easy to trash. Especially when you don't even beat a game.

Bucci actually plays these games. And completes them. That's why I respect him more than 99.99% of everyone else. In the universe.

The last thing we need is for Bucci to get lazy and trendy and just trash a game.

I think he only reviews games that he actually beats (he beat Darkwing Suck and Deep Flu). Maybe reviews take long time to come out because the man is out there trying to beat those games.

Nice review.  I like Cyber Core, maybe not the greatest game, but It's fun.  And as far as Music goes I always felt this game was under-appreciated.

AM I only one who will now spend the day playing cyber core. . . and probably ever other game that;s chatted about on here
NW: Hey, I made it on this psycho's Enemies' List, how about that ?? ;)
BT: Look at how the fake SFII' carts instantly sold out and were immediately listed on eBay before the flippers even took possession. Look at Nintendo's overpriced bricks. Look at the typical forum discussions elsewhere. You can't tell most retro gamers anything!

Cyber Core.

I really enjoy your views on turbo games. It is nice since I know you grew up playing them and have ever since. I'm looking forward to your next episode.

Well, now I want to play Cyber Core too.  Nice review!

I love bugs, and I love shmups, but there's something lackluster about this game that I can't quite place...maybe it's the size of the player sprite? I hate shmups with an unnecessarily large player ship...unless it's a mech.  Then, it's somehow excusable...

It appears to be a mediocre game...but the more you play it, you realize that some of it is nicely crafted.

I still enjoy going back and playing through it.

It grows on you. It never "wows" audiences with anything completely unique, but it won me over for simply being an honest, decent shootemup using the Xevious formula (air-to-air main gun, air-to-ground bombs for ground targets). I consider it an under-appreciated shootemup. DISCLAIMER: I love Dragon Spirit, which uses the same formula, so I have a soft spot for these games.

I have grown to love CyberCore.

I hope to make it my bride.

BONUS: This game has a neat sound test. :)

Hm.  With that in mind, I may have to give it a shot.  The prospect of owning another turbografx shewtie (with a mutant cicada on the cover, no less) is pretty appealing.  Cicadas are my favorite ^-^

Esteban ... No drama at all.  On a side note ... Did you find out anything on that screen you were taking about??   I am curious now for sure.

CGQuarterly

It isn't really "drama", but I've just never seen someone get worked up over the fact that a YT creator bleeped out their own swear-word.  I think I've used a swear-word maybe twice on my channel, and bleeped it both times.  Honestly, I just think it sounds funnier that way.  I'll leave the swearing to all of the angry video game reviewers.

Alt-Nintega

 =D> spida1a never fails to disappoint!!! Top Notch review! Bravo! Still the best gamer show on youtube!!!

ChrisBucci

#671
I think the "bleep" properly placed is funnier as well.   And there are some older videos where I DID swear a bit more.   But ... I just don't feel it is necessary really.   A lot of YOUNG kids watch my series (and their parents have told me so).  I'm not totally PG but it's all just a personal choice and ... it doesn't add a thing to it.

And honestly ... In the end ... It's my channel.   So I can do what I want.  Nyah Nyah Nyah, right?   Lol. 

And thanks everyone.  Truly!

I don't know enough about YouTube to know if it helps you or not, but after watching about 15-20 of these last night for the first time, I went ahead and subscribed to your channel.  you have some REALLY good stuff here.

What? how have you missed these until now??? For what it's worth I always thought it was REALLY good because Chris REALLY cares and loves the games/system. (well maybe not all the games - I'm looking at you falcon - okay this is just me)

I just haven't really been much of a YouTube watcher (or a watcher of much anything), I would rather play a game than watch others do so.  That said, these videos are short enough to be able to watch one when I have 10 spare minutes, so I've been watching them, and I really enjoy them.

Valis 4

Good to see more import reviews!

ClodBusted

Chris, thanks for your entertaining Valis 4 review and sharing your thoughts about the PCE Valis 1 remake. I enjoyed it a lot.

esteban

Bucci! :)

Great video. I won't get into a discussion now about the games, except to say III tops my list.

There have been many discussions over the years about how to rank (1) PCE Valis games and (2) all Valis games across all platforms.

So,  comrade, before your skills/memories  atrophy, I know you will happily play Valis IV (SNES) and Valis I + III (Genesis)...and tells us about the nuances.

Wait, what's that? You need a break from the Valis series?

Dammit!

:)

BOTTOM LINE:
At least I'm not asking you to play all the PC versions. And I am sparing you from the awful Syd of Valis, too.

I enjoyed your recent video on Valis 4 and the remake of Valis. These games look interesting. As someone that enjoys these types of games I was wondering one thing. I don't have any of these games in the series. What would be a good one to track down and start with?

It doesn't matter what order you play them in, really.

I played II, III, IV, I and was happy....Valis II is easy and short, so that may or may lot matter to you.

I say: grab the cheap and convenient games first. If PCE versions of II and III are significantly cheaper than TG-CD, grab the Japanese versions (because you can always watch the English cinemas on YouTube).

It was awesome, the same day I watched Chris's Valis IV cool review is the same day I finally meet him in person in Toronto. I'll have to see if I can find Valis IV now someday.

The PCE versions can all be found under $30 on eBay.

I love the Turbo Views series, spida! It is without a doubt my favorite gaming review series on You Tube!  :D
I purchased Final Lap Twin after seeing your review of it. I would normally avoid most sports games, but the way you showed how it mixes racing and RPG elements I knew it was something I should try out.
I hope you are doing well and look forward to your new episodes!

Oh, also, you mentioned in one of your earlier videos that the sound was starting to go out some in your TurboDuo. Have you had it upgrade since then with a cap job or have you started using something else like a Duo-R or RX?

Just wanted to pop in and say that I didn't even realize you were on these forums, but your reviews were some of the first things I saw on YouTube about the Turbografx and were extremely helpful in pointing me towards some good games.  I definitely appreciate it and hope you'll keep doing more in the future.

MattJ

I'm personally looking forward to a Turbo Views episode that covers Legend of Hero Tonma, or one dedicated to the Arcade Card titles, similar to what Chris did when he talked about the Super System Card.
I'm happy for him to work at his own pace though. Chris' reviews are so top notch it is well worth the wait when a new episode arrives.  :D

I'm waiting for DRAGON'S CURSE, DYNASTIC HERO, SOLDIER BLADE, VEIGUES TACTICAL GLADIATOR, TIME CRUISE (since he's such a fan of pinball games), SAMURAI GHOST, DOUBLE DUNGEONS, FINAL ZONE II and as a guilty pleasure, NIGHT CREATURES.
