Let's Play Daikatana 03: Knock Knock!

[dartagnanv]

It looked awesome in the screenshot, but after I watched you play, it just sound like a very lame game.

[anothga]

Daikatana LP? I feel sorry for you..

[murkki018]

It's all so green!

[Wulfiebaby]

If you're going to make fun of the technical specs in the game, you should do so from within the context of when it was released. You sound like a 10-year-old who doesn't realize video games didn't come into existence at the PS3 level.

Goddamnit, I sound like I'm defending this PoS, and it's your fault for being such a shitty player/commentator.

[dartagnanv]

@Wulfiebaby Oh, come'on. Deus Ex had the same technology and it was an awesome game.

[slidefacekill]

@Wulfiebaby As he states repeatedly in ep 1, this game came out at the same time as Quake 3 and Unreal Tournament. It's shitty by the standards of the time.

[Taeryth]

You're a tad whingy in this LP. =s

[TheBlackSpiral]

I was expecting you to go "Thank God, it's over! I can stop now." when you got the 'Game Over' screen :p

[masticina]

Robotic Bugs do not ask for a pay check that is why... see romero was right.

[DGMRuadeil]

what's that really low sound it's constantly making? Is that actually in the game? It's horrible xD

[bloodrunsclear]

DIE FROG!

That made my afternoon :)

[HypaSonicDeathMonkey]

Your "I eat fruit" voice really sounds like Rimmer.

[Zellig]

Yeah man when you're in a post apocalyptic robo-poison-swamp wasteland nothing like chowing down on mutant fungus to magically heal your bullet wounds. o.O

[SuperDerekShort]

great video review of a trash game. lol for you, and an award for doing it and actually surviving it. this game was unbearably bad and even at this, unwatchably bad

[MrNicktheparakeet]

your like the guy version of manga mix, you both even do the same AH AH HA, exept she does horror stuff and you do shooters :)

[jokerstrike]

haha love the count reference at 5:59

[cwilla321]

Well I just found a means of exploiting history to make myself ungodly wealthy. I think I'll build an army of robot vermin, just because there that much more difficult to maintain, and I hate my technical staff. Yea I know this is an old video but I can't resist; and further more how does a sword travel through anything let alone time? They should have said "It allows it's wielder to travel through time".

[kazuyaheihachi1]

God i really love your coments to the game, it makes me laugh:)) Funny man keep on going:)

[demollyon]

die frog!

[MrIAMNOTANOOB]

I think I know why they have a robot bug army instead of a human army.

They don't care about robots.

[aschris87]

if i actully download this game from torrent id still feel riped off ..

[leauxbert]

Yesterday was this vid's one year anniversary. If only I had known, I would've brought cake.

[inmonkeyness]

@leauxbert THE CAKE IS A LIE.

[leauxbert]

@inmonkeyness It is.

[inmonkeyness]

@leauxbert No reply. LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

[printz150]

Marvelous!

[xtruder02]

jesus christ so the next time im buying a game about saving the world ill be preparing myself to deal with ordinary frogs, bugs and crocodiles... jesus . was john romero doing drugs??

[thedragonb0y]

Who is this castle owned by?! Robotnick?!

[psychicspacecats]

Haha, thanks so much for LPing this because frankly I wouldn't touch this game with a ten foot pole. ... and yet my sadistic curiosity enjoys watching others suffer playing it :)

[Racunae]

I've got a lovely bunch of crocodiles, there they are a standing in a row...

[Racunae]

I think before daikatana was born it had some agent orange.

[Archie4]

7:40 lol

[KittyweeeeeeeIK]

"Die frog!!" XDD so funny

[TheSpyChecker]

@KittyweeeeeeeIK if a single sentence like Die frog makes you laugh, you should fucking get a sense of humor!

[Jackal2991]

If you think about it, the robotic animals and insects were probably just experiments that were thrown out after the badguys got bored of them or something. Now, I'll probably eat those words when I see the bugs and animals in the later videos used by them.

[tok291]

wow bugs and crocodile robots, feels like a Disney game or maybe, ah hell i dunno, it's almost childish

[Animefan90000]

3 episodes and i already think its the worst game ever!

[Drakusatheon]

I've been watching the Ultima VII LPs, and can't help thinking "Ah very tasty" whenever you find fruit

[Yomarson]

"Really, the first seven videos are just going to be-uh BLEH!"

[Ankheel]

Human armys are expensive! Bugs are small, annoying, and cheep to produce.

[RPW20]

Did that robo frog roar?! :|

[Koseiku]

hilarious jumping sounds

[DrakeHerder]

Exactly. :P I know, I messed the quote up, but I thought it fitting, in more ways than one... :P

[CAMAROCHIC416]

Bugs!! Ha! Ha! Ha!!

[Arppis]

Hah! I'm surprised that the water doesn't kill you too... :p

No wonder people don't like this game, who does want to fight endless hordes of bugs and frogs?! I can do that home if I want to do that!

[BoomlalaMetrotab]

- Knock Knock!

- Who's there?

- John Romero. Suck it down.

[phantomcorral]

Oh, I get it. It's October, so you're going to play this as a trick AND a treat rolled into one. On one hand, it's Daikatana. On the other hand, you're the one LPing it....

Clever, Kikoskia. Very clever indeed.

[Kikoskia]

You give me far too much credit. It's just chance that it started when it did.

[crowroadawma]

Wow. I mean, I've heard all the stories about Daikatana, but ... they don't really prepare you for the crushing stupidity of the actual game, do they? I'm waiting for Kikoskia's mental breakdown, myself ...

[gwbushsucksballs]

one cannot simply walk into .. swampy.. fortress........

[CelingKat]

It's not entirely Jack's (Or whatever the name of the creator was) fault. The blame also lands on the shoulders of those who said to him "Hey! That sounds like a really good idea!"

[TheZPCI]

Kiko, you're awesome. I can say that. However, some of the games you LP can be a bit dull. If it wasn't for you, NO ONE would even give a crap about these games. How does that make you feel? Important? Or am I just being a dick? Your choice.

[DrakeHerder]

A deadly Bee weapon. My God.

Sorry, had to do it. :P

[Mikato1]

lol your first death yay we are very special hahaha.

[hiddengnome]

what is he doing to that poor cow!!

[number999999999]

i like all your lets play you make it so lively evn with a game like this ^^

[fizzybob]

imagine the developer's room: "so, the enemies in the first area will be dragonflys and frogs, basically creatures found in swamps" "and why would we want these as enemies?" "because... they... um... are evil robot swamp creatures..."

"remind me again why we hired you?"

[digitised]

'Wait...who are you?'

'...How did you get into this building??'

click! 'Security...please...'

[DasMischungBaby]

"Because I'm John Romero, and I'm going make you my Bitch!"

[EmperorAtahualpa]

What kind of stupid game is this? LOL...fighting frogs and bees, what the hell...

I'd rather have the Angry Video Game Nerd make a review of this game. :P

[bonino87]

oooohyeah! that would been awesome! and grusomme! :P AVGN would have slaughtered it :P

[TheThreadWeaver]

Hey, at least he didn't make robotic inbred swampdwellers...

[flamedance58]

Cyber Hillbillies?

[TheThreadWeaver]

The very same.

[Maverynthia]

How do the frogs damage you again? I'm just not being scared of robotic frogs and dragonflies... :P

[Pein310]

I noticed that when Kiko picked up the health kit, he didn't just use it, he "needed the health kit."

I think what he needs is to not fight robotic frogs and dragonflies, and to be able to save where ever he wants. Suck on that people who made this game!

[MartinX333]

I he a cow? XD

[PwnzorBob]

Where did you get that odd armor you are in anyways?

In the beginning cutscene you wear white robes, then when you exit the casket WEEEEEEE I GOT SOME METAL ARMOR.

[Maverynthia]

He stole it from the dead guy?

[PwnzorBob]

And it happens to fit that well?

Considering the dead guy (I assume you mean the old man) was old, decrepit and very much more shorter than our fancy Mr. Blocky-Macho-Protagonist guy.

[Maverynthia]

HEY You can do a lot with blocky! What they didn't show was the chisel he kept on him for such an occasion as having to steal some kind of armor from an old dead guy while in a coffin.

Then again I'm probably thinking too hard for this... xD

[ryufrombreathoffire]

hey Kiko...once you get back to the giant robot bees near the fortress, couldn't you just blast the alarm system and the robot bees then run in?

[Adenin98]

Did I get this right

In this 'game' your playing a teacher who's running around in a swamp with a plasma gun, fighting robotic insects in search for an old (and probably rusty) sword because a weird old man told him to do so.

-Yes?

-Yes!

-Because everything else would just be ridiculous.

[Xirbtt]

A sword that controls time and was thrown in a volcano no less.

[ArcticArchon]

Well, yes. But there is one thing that can still redeem this game. A giant robotic barbie rampaging through tokyo, that you will have to fight.

[franciscosuperdeluxe]

Oh no! He set off the alarm! Quick, send the robotic dragonflies after him!

[ScreamingDoom]

Why does shooting your gun cause green shards of energy to fly right at your face? What are those? Is it just that the Dystopian future is so terrible that guns end up shooting the person wielding them as well as whatever they're aiming at? SO CONFUSED.

That bell sound whenever you kill an enemy makes me think the Monty Python music is about to start.

[CPCGamer]

Surely the whole daikatana thing is rendered moot by the fact you're given a superpowered ion cannon within seconds of beginning the game. All you have to do is play keep away with the guy who owns the sword and you win.

So I'll take your "Did John think that sound effect through" remark and up the ante, sir.

Did John think ANYTHING through? Like, at all?

[Crowley9]

My hypothesis is he thought details like sound effects were too small for a project leader like him to bother with.

[latuman]

Just leave this game be. Its not worth it. Play a good game, like Grim Fandango or Monkey Island 3. That would be hoot!

[Kijikun]

Maybe he doesn't want to?

[latuman]

I dont know that at all. Do you? It was just a suggestion.

[Darthhelmet86]

One of the most annoying things about games is when they put signs in, but fail to make them readable. While the sign adds to the atmosphere the lack of the ability to read the sign detracts form the realism they are trying to build.

[ScreamingDoom]

Yeah, no kidding. If you're going for realism, you have to go whole-hog, or the little details begin to break suspension of disbelief.

Like... why are there health packs stuffed around the Evil Overlord's base? It's not like he has any guards who might use them. So the only possible reason is so people who try to break in have a decent shot at getting inside.

Mighty sporting of the Evil Overlord, I say!

Also: why is the control mechanism for the rock guns right within easy shooting?

[20ds08]

Ugh, these save gems which they included here, makes the game unneccessary frustraiting, I think.
