When Ghost Dad appears there's a mishmash of sound effects of evil laughter.
I hear it used loads of times in other stuff but I wish I knew where it came from.

It's because the game never ever gives in to the joke. It is played completely serious all the way through.

incan gold is top tier, though the get a job song is probably my favorite.

Soul vs soullless

Completely agree with this, something about the setting and writing made all the stupid bullshit work

Has anyone finished the Barkley 2 demo? Any thoughts? Does it live up to the expectations?

YOU SICK MOTHERFUCKING GODDAMN BAKA!

Too bad X-Kaliber is such a shitty game

Favorite boos fight? Favorite character to use? Barkley's ball-fu is still my favorite

At least the music is good.

>while completely misunderstanding our appreciation for japanese culture

ahahahahahaha

favorite boss was ghost dad, favorite character was barkley.

This is one thing that I find really hilarious about the game, how serious everything takes itself. Like Barkely's regret and pain over his past

>Dr Allard diagnoses you with aspergers as an attack

finding the beer items and finding out that it cured Aspergers got me good

Why was the music so fucking GOOD?

And that aspergers doesn't actually do anything. It makes you think it's a confusion state cause you're character gets turned around but it's only what it says on the tin, makes social situations awkward.

I thought it was a poison aliment

>applebottoms

That's diabetes

This is true, but there's a lot of fine tone balancing at work too. Something that's just really aggressively stupid without a trace of self-reference can easily just be annoying and tiresome instead of funny; here I'm thinking of a lot of romhacks. SUAJG looks and acts really low-effort, but that's just a facade since it's run through with a clarity and consistency that obviously required a lot of effort. Once you've played the entire game it's obvious that with the effort they put in they could have gotten better player portraits than SNES rips modified in MSPaint, but they didn't because the bad art was a deliberate aesthetic choice. It's not just stupid; it's a whole thought-out stupid world and storyline, so you can actually get more out of it than five minutes of "haha this is stupid". The deadpan is just a delivery vehicle.

And a lot of it is in the fine details and hard to quantify. Game has a lot of immensely memorable lines and it's hard to explain exactly why, it's real talent at work and it's a shame that Barkley 2 turned out like it did. I really think they could have done great work without relying so much on references and borrowed art, if they didn't take on such a ridiculous scope, among other things.

It has it's moments. I haven't finished it though, partially due to being JANK and getting permanently stuck sometimes, but also because there's some sort of world time limit based on quest progression, so like, if you set off to do all the side quests you come across first (like most 1337 gamers would) you'll get to mortgage office too late to pay the mortgage of the old dwarf that finds you and mess up that quest. It's pretty impressive but it definitely shows me their problems with feature creep.

To be honest that track annoys me because of the beginning.
My favorite is probably the T-Rex Barkley theme.

this, there's a ton of good ideas but it was all too complex for such a small team to manage. The setting, writing, and art are all exceptional but the gameplay is too janky to actually be a fun experience, plus you run out of ammo way too fast.

love this game, ended up cracking up out loud very often during it. its a shame the sequel will (probably) never be finished, those sprites are killer.

because the setting is so stupid it allows the absurdity of it's events seem more grounded in it's comedic world as opposed to simply being lolsorandumb
Like the idea of a B-Ball Catacombs or the "shard of a mystical b-ball" is ridiculous in our world, but that's how it is in Barkley's

I think part of the reason it works is because the actual plot beats aren't too far off from an actual JRPG (at least from that era). Barkley angsting about his mysterious past is par for the course for a JRPG, the showdown between the protagonist and the former-friend-turned-antagonist near the end of the game, etc. Same for tons of the writing (how many times have you heard the characters try to be serious and dramatic while the actors struggle through made-up terminology? Situations like are all over the FF13 script, for example.) By changing the subject matter slightly, but taking the ridiculous world as seriously as JRPGs already take their own ridiculous world, that's what helps keep the tone so specific.

It's not really a cash grab until he's asking for more money, and he's not exactly pre-maturely rushing to get it up for sale.

Attached: 1421890453746.png (160x193, 52K)

I agree. Barkleys greatest strenght is that it always takes itself completely seriously at all times.

>Double dribble is the best move
>It is also the first move
Was is a joke or some mistake? I don't really think the payoff is worth it considering all the other moves that are never shown off.

They didn't the game to be too challenging from what I've read

It's something people should learn from. I hate how nowadays people think that to be funny you have to be ironic all the time without taking anything seriously at all.

The very first line in Barkley 1 is "The game you are about to play is canon" or something like that

Do you mean sealing the deal of it not being kino, or assured you that it would be kino?

I don't think I'll ever get over Kevin Garnett calling Barkley swine because he's possessed by an evil headband

So is Incan Gold a Ducktales reference?

Also I know i'm being autistic here, but is Incan Gold funny because Barkley has a genuine thing he can be tempted with but it's sidelined for something he should have no in-universe desire for?

IRL Barkley would go for some Krispy Kreme

It was appealing to anime fans
It was shitting on weebs

pretty sure the joke is that it came outta fucking nowhere and considering the context and the story to that point you'd think the treasure would be like his dead wife or something

It's funny because its a character flaw that is completely unrelated to anything we know about him up to that point, is heavily exaggerated, and is never mentioned again afterwards.

The game takes place in the future.

wrong question, the real question is why Barkley looks the exact same even if he is 84 years old during the year the game takes palce

They burned through their Kickstarter budget. He's going to be asking for more money very soon if he isn't already.

and has a son that's like 12

He's the only one to fall for the temptation and he wants fucking Inca gold of all things.

Oldest trick in the book!

I love the little inputs you have to do before attacks in this game. It kind of reminds me of paper mario and sabin and cyan's attacks in ff6.
I genuinely wish other rpgs would do that more.

didn't he work on katana zero

So X114JAM9 is supposed to be Hoopz in the future right?

Yeah, timed hits and inputs are pretty fun in RPGs. It sucks that only Mario and a few one-offs do them.

this is unironically the best JRPG I've played since FF6/7.

What about U M A M I ?

Did you guys know that you if you save the game while having played for exactly 44:44 you can re-recruit Vinceborg during the square-enix factory section?

FF5 best

6 is the worst of the snes final fantasies (not counting MQ), but it's still pretty decent.
My biggest problem is the mechanics, but that one romhack turns it into the best game in the series mechanically

I'll make another one tomorrow. :)

jesus christ- wait like 3 other people said that already.

But that message appears before the game has begun, outside of the context of the game. Not from two characters IN game talking to you.

Brave New World
It rebalances pretty much everything, and changes how espers work entirely.
The long and short of it is better enemy AI and each character being more restricted in spells they can learn and what stats they can increase, giving each character a more defined role that can be further altered by equipment and bonus stats from esper levels.

How's the demo for 2?

Rule of thumb for SUAJG's humor is that if it seems like a reference you don't get, you're probably just overthinking something intended to be really stupid.

Joker, you don't have time for that. You should really go to bed.

what happened to the incan gold?

it was an illusion made by Cuchulainn, and once barkley gave in to his desires it broke the seal keeping him in
once he was out, there was no reason to continue the guise and he flew out

Is he still alive?
