  • Do a "Gettin' Super Nerdy!" on the Half Life 2 Beta, while not a retro game, alot of people aren't too aware of the changes made (Which are alot!)

  • well its the demo... u can say whatever you want about it. its just for testing.

  • I just wanted to note that Barret refers to it as the North Makoro plant, not the North Maroko plant. Unless I don't understand Japanese pronunciation (and I don't pretend that I DO) I think you did something like a spoonerism and swapped the location of the K and R.

    Anyway, that's the part I'm at in the video. This is the second video I've seen from you (the other being the "Gettin' Super Nerdy: Rygar" video) and I must say, you are being added to my VERY select "Check Daily" bookmark folder.

  • I have a demo that was released under the name "jump pack" and it has a different demo of FFVII, you had barret tifa and cloud and it was basically the final game version run through of the reactor. Also summons were Irfrit and Titan. Also you fought the guardian scorpion

  • Wasn't there another ff7 demo? I remember playing a demo that basicly put you through this valley. Can't remember the name but its before the amusement park place. This demo gave you a powerful summon and a lot of other things. Where did that demo go?

  • FF6 FTW dawg

  • is it Aerith or Aeris??

  • You know, I might get that demo just for the free fighting game

  • Ah the Pizza Hut Demo Disc...those were the Shit....good times..good times

  • What a cool idea for a review! I had a Saturn when FF7 came out so I've never seen this demo before.

  • Any chance of an FF8 demo review or is it practically the same as the final version?

  • This video reminded me how great Tobal No. 1 was! That quest/adventure mode is something I haven't seen in fighting games since.

  • If you wont review FF7 then how about the Chinese Pirated 2D FF7?

    Its in chinese granted, but its so broken-hard that you wont make it past the 1st or 2nd fight. Still cool to check it out if you can

  • Hey derek maybe you could have calvin review for april fools day! that would be hilarious

  • @shmoozii that's what happened last year. Calvin reviewed Chrono Trigger thinking the entire time it was a crappy beat-em-up.

    And it was hilarious.

  • @yahooeny i know thats what i want him to do for ff7 that would be really funny.

  • i didn`t know what seminal meant so i looked it up. apparently it means it contains semen. maybe thats due to the scene with don corano

  • 'ehrgeiz' and 'einhänder' are german words and mean 'ambition' and 'one-hand' ;)

  • I prefer peanut butter sammies without the jelly!

  • I remember playing a demo of FF7 in the stores. Instead of Aeris, Tifa was actually in your party. And if I remember, there were more summons and magic for all the characters. I remember playing it and thinking it was so easy (since they handed you such powerful stuff off the bat), but there was a group of other kids around that were stunned at how well I was doing. :P Also, I always read GP as "Gold Pieces" not "Gold Points" personally.

  • @ryanphoenix Oh that demo, I got that one with my first ps1.

  • I actually like the Demo's battle theme better than the final version - that little bit of extra emphasis on the drums, especially those toms, makes it sound a bit more intense.

  • wat huge twist is he talking about i have the orignal game im half way through the end of disc 1 and i don't know wat he's talking about

  • I think you should make a video about FFVI. I know it isn't exactly an underrated classic, but I still would like to hear your thoughts.

  • “...and even comes with a free fighting game, that’s preety good!” LOL !!!

  • 00:30 I don't know why, but I'm getting tired of him bashing Mega Man 10 everytime it gets mentioned. The only reason he bashed it, is because he expected WAY too much.

  • @vnisanianisback i think you have your pantys in a bunch and need to shh it his opinion let him live with it

  • @GamersNeverSayDie He bitched and moaned about the "so bad it's good vibe". Name one other diehard Mega Man fan that cares about such a nuisance thing.

    And I challenge you to name one other diehard Mega Man fan that has always thought of the plotlines as "a little cheesy". If you can't, then I feel sorry for you.

    Bottom line, Derek complained about a lot of nuisance things, including the extra challenges (like as if he wanted MM10 to be totally bland and boring)

  • @vnisanianisback I understand but still his opinion

  • @vnisanianisback I totally agree with you.

  • @vnisanianisback Opposite of that. He expected too little. He didn't want all of this crap DLC, all these trials, all these extra characters. He felt like all of the damn add-ons were so damn unnecessary. In reality, it was unnecessary, its just a damn 8-Bit Megaman game, but the producers wanted to have an EPIC STORY about an APOCALYPTIC EPIDEMIC UPON ROBOTS! In reality Capcom took Megaman too seriously.

    And even so, he still thinks its an awesome game worth downloading but not as much as 9.

  • @TheBadShaman Just to clarify, I don't mind his occasional criticisms. I totally saw where he was coming from with his Zoda's Revenge review. But I like the game, and I happen to be the proud owner of both titles in the Startropics series.

    But it was his MM10 review that made me go "Really? Those are you reasons for considering it a letdown? I never thought of them as such."

    See where I'm getting at here.

  • @vnisanianisback Gotta understand that he's a Megaman fan, and he never really expected it to be taken this serious. And I agree, Megaman has always been just a simple shooter with great controls and awesome powers ups with a good amount of challenge.

    Megaman 10 just parodies itself in terms of challenge. Capcom knows the fans know that Megaman is hard, so they stereotyped themselves. And all these silly add-ons are cool, but just not worth it. But like he said, Megaman 10 is a must have.

  • I loved Final Fantasy 7, but I would have loved it just as much if not a little more in the classic SNES style (I would prefer sprites with pixels for mouths over anatomically inaccurate blobs with minimal texture and no mouths). It's sad the series never made it to the n64, but I can understand why when at the time a CD would have had many times the storage of a cartridge, and costs less to mass produce. There would be less textures, and those FMV scenes would likely have to be rendered in-game

  • I would also like to add, that the console games were Final Fantasy at its best. I haven't played XIV, but it saddened me inside when I saw a video of this armored man hitting an unarmored rat with a pike for 10 minutes, and it saddened me even more when the accusations of copying/pasting terrain came up, no re-texturing, no innovation, just skill-less copy and paste. My fiance showed me those saddening videos, and I showed her videos of summon spells such as "Knights of the Round".

  • Im one of the 8 that havent played this game.

  • @Wilmon9 Wonder if the other 6 have seen this video? (Yeah, I'm another one of the 8)

  • Wow I still the have the 2000 collector's CD 3.. such nostalgia.

  • My heart belongs to FF4, FF6 and especially FF9 :)

  • @EliroX904 Its funny how there seems to be 2 brands of FF fans. The games u mentioned are the first one (the classic style) and the others are FF7 FF8 and FF10. Im of the latter.

  • That one HUGE FFVII spoiler is probably the most spoiled spoiler in all of gaming, except for a "certain line" from Portal

  • @perun1nj How about "Samus is a girl?"

    Or, "it really WAS Dr. Wily all along!"

  • Im one of those 8!

  • Did ya know that Einhänder is a german word and means: One Hander and Ehrgeiz is a german word too. It Means: ambiton.Just wanted to tell :P.

  • Comment removed

  • einhenda

  • einhenda

  • awesome review for such a classic game!

  • I agree with you Derek. My heart will always love FFVI more than VII, but that does not diminish from VII's greatness.

  • Yes! I am seriously reading this!

  • I had FF7 (Don't know what happend to it) and I DID play a demo of it from Playstation Underground Vol. ?? (Don't know what number it is), In that demo you had a party of Cloud, Barret, and Tifa, Also you were armed to the teeth with Materia and Summons! Great demo.

  • @MikeArcade07 I got that demo when I got my first playstation.

  • well if you want to immerse your self in ps1 fighting games id recommend the classic Rival Schools or maybe give Star Gladiator a try. both made by capcom and you know how they love to spend money on fighting games :)

    but yeah i dont see why people want to see a review of FF7 from you...i dont think its needed.

  • I think Cloud image on lvl up scene at 9:57 is different too. If my memory serve me correctly, the one in demo is the Cloud's character image on flashback.

  • @Skywalker00777 Your are correct.

  • i saw u at Loopin Louie

    

  • i never liked FF7 for some reason. i got for $7.50 from goodwill and tested it but really haven't played it though. i have the bouncer and watched brother beat it. i need to play it some time. really it isn't a bad game.

  • @james42519 also have parasite eve i got for $2.50 i need to play too.

  • never heard of bobs burgers. you actually like adventure time? yeah i really don't get the ponies things. how did it get like this? i have to have jelly with my sandwich.what is the wire? . who is chef mccloud? i don't know about goldfish and m&m but pretzels and icecream is good. yes i read it : p

  • i seriously read it all, simpsons has been on forever its bound to change:P, Bob's burgers rocks:D, jelly is LEET:D, maybe try gold fish crackers and m&ms:/ , japa u classy bastardsQ_Q, R.I.P my social life:(, i'll definetly play sweet home:)

  • The reason you wont review FFVII is cause' it's not underrated, right? Because pretty much EVERYONE has played it, hehe.

  • I always thought "GP" meant gold pieces.

  • Phantasy Star Series, PLEASE!

  • Damn right Adventure time is one of the best shows on TV!

  • You lucky bastard, you got to play Loupin' Louie! XD

  • I really did not care for FF7 at all. The music was great but story,gameplay, and characters really didn't appeal, with the exception of Red XIII. Please don't try to kill me FF7 cause its my opinion. Great video Derek.

  • Tag

  • The Deus Ex games are awesome. That is all.

  • An excerpt from the super fast super credits:

    "You're not seriously reading this, are you? Stay classy, Japan.  R.I.P. Nekbone. On the real, you need to play Sweet Home."

  • One review I could totally see you do is Mega Man Legends. You could talk about MML1 and MML2 and Capcom's (extremely dumb) decision to cancel MML3.

    That's only if you like them of course.... (which I hope you do)

  • I'm one of those 8 people.....

  • though adventure time might be the greatest show on tv whats with all the love for ponies.

  • I thought GP stood for Gold Pieces. =S

    I liked FF6 best myself.

  • I loved ff7 so much, I have a very soft spot for it

  • FF6 is my favorite FF also :D

  • To the hell Final Fantasy VII. I completed and enjoyed this game, but man how much it's overrated gets me on my nerves.

    On the other, I'd really like to try this oddity known as Saga Frontier I, someday. It allows much more liberty with its free scenario system. And you have the possibility to stick with your favorite protagonist, unlike some game where you gotta bear with a lot of emo crap, whether you like it or not.

  • Anyone else read the super fast credits?

  • @TenDropChris He mentioned me too,yay!

  • It's funny how much use you still get out of Love x1000

  • lol you said the demo comes with a free fighting game! Also you should do a comparison of the pc demo, I remember downloading it along time ago.

  • "For the eight of you out there that haven't played FF7"

    Hey-the HVGN mentioned me!

  • Chief? MCCloud!!!

    Fan of MST3K I see.

  • For a possible game, PLEASE review Marathon and/or it's sequels by Bungie. The second is on Xbox Arcade for 600 points(I think), the first one is free for iPad and all three are free for download on the Internet on a site called The Marathon Trilogy. it's very underrated and deserves a full video review.

  • I Got A FF7 Demo Disc At A Garage Sale, It Looked Like It Was Given Out By Square, It Wasn't The Tobal No.1 Demo, it Was In A Little Sleeve With The Boxart On It And Also A Bushudo Blade Demo. It's Basiclly The Same As This One But With A BB Demo, A Diffrent Menu At The Start, And Was A More Updated Version Of The Game.

  • @EWJOEtv I got that one with my first playstation. The demo that has TIfa instead of Aeris in the battles.

  • My favorite demo is "24 The Game". A challenge to play after you get used to the controls of the actual game.

  • Yo Derek, I bought an original copy of earth bound witht he box and players guide intact with the scratch and sniff stickers for $400 off ebay. Something like this may have never happened with out watching your videos. I'am still in shock I spent that but am a die hard fan of it now. As much as Resident Evil or Silent Hill franchises.

  • I could be mistaken, but according the website Lost Levels "Final Fantasy 64" was not intended for the N64. You can find the full story on their site by Googling "Final Fantasy 64".

  • I really regret that I sold Final Fantasy VII however it's a relief that I get to borrow it by the person who I sold the game to.

  • Ok guys, HVGN cannot do review FF7 because he reviews UNDERRATED GAMES, FF7 is the exact opposite of underrated. (at least i think thats why)

  • u forgot to mention the "Final Fantasy VIII Preview Disc" that came with some versions of FF7. While its not an actual demo it does include some of the CGI cutscenes from 8.

  • I bought FFVII from PSN Store. It was the first Final Fantasy game I had ever played and it was freaking awesome!

  • @TheLegendofFail dont worry, im one of the few who didn't get a chance to play Banjo Kazooie and just recently beat it. its one of my favorite games now...ahhh, the golden days of Rare.

  • awesome video Derek =)

  • @lophatjello R.I.P neckbone 

  • thumbs up if you seriously read it

  • my most favorite game ever.....

  • Hey HVGN

    I watch all you videos and think their pretty dam good :)

    However a few comments you make regarding ever making a review about Final Fantasy 7 itself make you sound like a pretentious douche.

    Seriously, i have great respect but in all honesty its not the first time I've heard this rhetoric in your videos.

    Again I think your videos are great but maybe keep an eye on that.

    :)

  • @lophatjello

    I Honestly cant tell if your a douche or just a turd sandwich.

    Either way, keep up the videos.

  • @lophatjello Well of course you're grumpy if people keep asking for a review of it. You review old UNDER RATED games...I think. If I'm wrong man I guess I've been watching the wrong show.

  • "to all of you who prefer peanutbutter sandwiches without jelly: HOLLA!

    Goldfish crackers and plain M&M's, seriously, try it.

    You're not seriously reading this, are you?"

    "R.I.P. Nekbone"

    LOL beginning credits

  • wait don't you mean a fighting game comes with a free demo.... OH WAIT! e_e I see what you did there

  • Eihander was a badass game that never got a sequel it deserved. :(

  • Security: Bimmy and Jimmy

    Hugs and High-Fives from Scoops the Robot

  • Wheres the FF6 review?

  • Hey Happy Nerd, since we're talking demos here, can you do a Gettin' Super Nerdy on the Metal Gear Solid 2 demo that came with Zone of the Enders?

  • Anyone else try to pause the video at 00:29 and read what it said?

  • @SpaceScreaminJohn during that one of the things it says is R.I.P neckbone :'(

  • Comment removed

  • Wild Guns review!??

  • you should review threads of fate

  • Argh, I want to play FF6 again, but I forget where I was, and I'm too far along to bother restarting.

  • Not sure if you are a fan or not, but doing one of these on RE2 would be great. It completely changed from early previews.

  • That was the golden age of gaming. 1985 - 2005.

  • R.I.P. Nekbone ;_;

  • @NostalgicSince2005

    Ah, yes, elitists... the shit I like is better than the shit you like because I like it... so that makes it better, right? Gotta love ignorant attitudes.

  • you should review a very obscure playstaion game called poy poy, it kinda like a 90s version of smash brothers, kinda, but not really

  • what is you intro from, is it a varient from a megaman game, pls tell me!

  • LOL I love how you said at the end that the demo comes with "a free fighting game." :P

  • FFX all the way!!! :P

  • EHRGEIZ IS SO AWESOME!

  • Final Fantasy VII is the best game of all time

  • Dude, that was a great video

  • I believe you said ''Maroko'' instead of ''Makoro''

    Anyway, very nice video, I love those GETTING SUPER NERDY ones :)

  • FFX <3

  • Really got nerdy huh?

    I always love VII most. Quite a few developers like to compile previews like Resident Evil. It's called preview piggybacking. Dragon Quest VIII came with the demo of FFXII and Unlimited Saga had FFX.

    How many know FFVII demo from Tobal No. 1?, since it flopped in the US and No.2 remained unreleased.

  • Squaresoft FTW. granted Enix had its awesome titles to but once they joined it just fell apart

  • Excellent. I'm glad I'm not the only one who holds Final Fantasy VI/III as the best in the franchise. Seriously, it was getting kind of depressing there for a bit, lol.

  • De Lex with another solid review, keep up the good work homie :)

  • My heart belongs to parts 1, 3, and 5.

  • Who else tried to read the credits at 0:28?

  • Speaking of Squaresoft demo disks on PS1 games, the PAL version of Final Fantasy VI came with the demo for Final Fantasy X, seeing that the FF VI port was released later in the PS1's life-cycle :P

  • I did an LP to this game Derek. I think you would like it. :D

  • "It even comes with a fighting game!"

  • @NostalgicSince2005 the general public dislikes 2? I thought 13 was pretty hated by the general public.

  • likey likey

  • Oh, also Derek, have you heard that Firebrand will be in the new Marvel VS. Capcom 3 game?

  • So Derek, speaking of RPGs, what are your top 5 most favorite RPGs of all time?

  • Every time I watch one of your videos Derek, I'm reminded of why I love video games! Thanks man.

  • you should totally do a review of xenogears, brave fencer mushashi, and threads of fate

  • Am I the only person who didn't think FF7 was that amazing?

  • I'm one of those eight people. But I watched my brother play the hell out of that game when I was a kid so there are no surprises for me. Also, he says I should skip to FF VIII.

  • You should do this with more demos like Final Fantasy 8. Very interesting for nerdy reasons lol.

  • SO AWESOME! Even if this is the closest we'll get to an FFVII HVGN, it's excellent!

  • I assume the demo was a mixture of everything the game had to offer and put it into the beginning scene... with magic, summons and aeries of course... only makes sense the demo would be so much different form the final game...

  • Calvin should do the FFVII review.

  • @TimOfficialChannel Or a FFVI review.

  • @TimOfficialChannel RIP HANKo

  • @lophatjello Did the train get him?

  • @lophatjello Are you serious? Hes gone ='(?!

  • @lophatjello thanks for uploading this :) I have some of the squaresoft demos. Before FF XIII came out people on ebay were paying $60 just for an hour demo geez... I'd rather spend that much on the final game granted it's much cheaper now $29.99

  • my heart belongs to FFIX lol

  • the copy of FFVI I had brought a FFX Demo for PS2. But I didn't own a PS2 until recently, I was more of a PC gamer back then =P after the PS1 had died out.

  • wait a second....the Demo of Final Fantasy VII had Tifa in it rather than Aerith....Also, I don't remember exactly, but the demo my cousins managed to get may have had a little bit of green on the cover of the disc holder.

  • @NostalgicSince2005 *sigh* Sorry, I'll continue thus tomorrow. I'm too tired to read right now.

  • @Bastiest

    Giving up and getting drunk because you've been proven wrong. Good job.

  • @Nemesis986 Nope, getting drunk because I feel like getting drunk. Yet again you are jumping in to your own little conclutions.

  • @Bastiest I didn't care for FF 4, 5, or 6. Games weren't bad just didn't do it for me. Maybe its a nostalgic thing since this was the very first FF I ever played. But people are entitled to their opinions.

  • Cool video, maybe we'll get a super nerdy video on the RE4 demo some time. I've been wanting to track that thing down but with my current finanaces I just can't seem to justify the purchase of a fraction of a game. But I'd still love to play it/see it.

  • I wanna play the FF7 demo, all day and all night :D great reivew

  • 14:24 APE ESCAPE!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Awesome

  • @NostalgicSince2005 Stop continuing stuff damn it! and sorry, I'm getting really drunk. I'll answer you tomorrow. Also, what I've read your comment, all I can say for now is, wrong, wrong and wrong.

    Stop jumping in to conclutions.

  • @NostalgicSince2005 500 characters is very little indeed.

    But when I start to arque about something is what I expect out of the most of the morons is a reasonable argument which I don't most of the times get. It would bring their point of view and their point of argument more valid. But they just don't do it. Because they can't. They know that they are suckers but are unwilling to admit it. If someone really has a really good point then yeah, I have no difficulties to agree with it.

  • "What? Are they cloning people here *cough cough cough*"

    Hahahaha. That was too funny.

  • @NostalgicSince2005 You can see it on people's reactions. I base my opinion on arguments when most of the people base them on "OMG, ur stoopid." or "Why don't u make game of ure on then?"

    While majority of people cannot really even descripe what they like in the game, I can.

    While majority of people cannot descripe what they don't like in the game, I will.

    The game is good because it's good.

    Okay, what makes it so good then?

    Well, it's just good.

    What's so good about it?

    It's just good.

  • I never cared for Final Fantasy VII, then again I never really cared for RPG's to begin with. ;p Although, Chrono Trigger is probably the most enjoyable RPG I've ever played...The 8 hours i put into it before calling it quits do to gradually getting sick and tired of the turn based Combat system.

    As awesome as Chrono Trigger is, i wish the battles were in the style of a 2D Zelda game, like ALTTP, Minish Cap and LA. Turn based combat just doesn't float my mega boat. ;p
