HVGN - D (aka D's Diner / D no Shokutaku)

[jacobholdcroft]

if anyone is interested in d's diner directors cut there is a longplay by cubex55

[GoodFriendsForever]

LOL penetrate 

[omastar444]

Weird. I always saw this game and thought it was a Vampire Hunter D game... Man was I wrong.

[TiMMYSQUibbLES]

LAURA!!!!!!

[shmoozii]

i remeber gameinformer saying this was one of the worst horror games ever made only a few monthes ago. It actually looks really good

[MrMacGrungy]

@shmoozii I've heard a bad rap about this game too (just this one thought not the other two). Seems you needs to know exactly what your in for to truly enjoy or appreciate it.

[uzay2000]

"D"racula

[anarcangelpi]

@uzay2000 no "Dr." Acula

[uzay2000]

@anarcangelpi I told a spoiler, D is for Dracula.

[TheNintendo101]

SOOPER ULTRA MEGA DIRECTORS CUT LOLOLOLOLOLOL

[1991doomsday]

D no Shokutaku. Well um I say Enemy Zero's the best.

[CobraVegeta]

fucker! I was so into the video i was close to the screen and BAM 10:15...made me jump

[PHILPANDA]

the creator of that game has an account here in youtube.

[IMMAEDEDDNEDDY]

@PHILPANDA what is it?

[PHILPANDA]

@IMMAEDEDDNEDDY kenjienotube

[Locomamonk]

your intro song f*ing owns, I love it. I usually load an old video just to listen to it

[wdcain1]

After watching your video, I went on ebay and bought me a copy of this $25. It was really enjoyable and definitely a good fright. Thank you, HVGN, for reccomending this little unknown gem. I was hoping it would have arrived before Halloween but even now a week later, I still got some good shivers playing this. Thank you for the recommendation!

[felphero]

i really really wanted to like this game, but is just sooooooooooooooo slow it's crazy

[TheNintendo101]

Only 2 ways to "die" in this game: Take too long, as mentioned in the video, or make a bad ending choice, of which I won't spoil. Those are the only ways as far as I know to die.

[Cryxo93]

Hey Derek, whilst I was at the MCM Expo in London today (yes you have British fans, Starship Amazing fans no less) I saw D for sale on the PSX and instantly grabbed it due to your shining review. Really looking forward to playing it on Halloween. Keep up the music and videos man, you're awesome!

[TheNintendo101]

@hypergunkid YOU JUST REALIZED ONE YEAR AFTER?!

[vaxick]

I just found D for the PSOne today at my local classic video game store. I bought it immediately because I was a huge fan of D2 back in the day and had a enjoyable time with Enemy Zero as well. I can't wait to finally experience D. I remember looking at it so many times at the store when I was a teenager, but just always blew it off for something else.

[hypergunkid]

Holy crap, did you hear sbout the Splatterhouse remake!?!

[maxacorn]

@hypergunkid

lets file this bit of important comment away in a little file i like to call "shit everyone already knew!"

[benmanperelsztein]

reminds me kind of amnesia the dark decent

[tgwpUtube]

@benmanperelsztein

lol newfag

[Scarlet1992Kille]

What is a digital actress?

[PhantosTheHedgehog]

@Scarlet1992Kille A digital actress is a game chracter who acts like a real person

[Scarlet1992Kille]

@PhantosTheHedgehog Now that you mention it, somethigncame up on my mind.

Could you call the charachter in the later Metal Gear Solid games digital actrors?

[spideyman2099]

What if you have to take a sh*t while playing?

[PhantosTheHedgehog]

@spideyman2099 That's tough shit, you've gotta take a quick shit, you've gotta have turbo turds!

[spideyman2099]

@PhantosTheHedgehog Ahhh someone got the reference!

[Scarlet1992Kille]

@spideyman2099 Do it before you play the game or be prepared to take a sh*t when you get scarred out of your mind.

[spideyman2099]

@Scarlet1992Kille I played it with a friend at about 2:00 in the morning It really wasn't that scary then again I wasn't playing it's like RE2 scary to play but not really to watch.

[Scarlet1992Kille]

@spideyman2099 Okay but remember folks, go to the bathroom before you start playing a game that can't be paused. XD

[retrogamingfanatic]

i actually played this game at a friends house. was a great game, but wasnt as scary as id hoped.

[retrogamingfanatic]

im off to get a saturn and D, ill be right back....

[MartinSaurMusic]

lol stupid youtube player wont let me click on the annotation for the Enemy Zero review, just keeps bringing up the progress bar instead. Damn newer youtube player lol

[yhmmot]

OHHHH I KNOW WHY ITS CALLED D NOW

im a dumbass

[Dogboy2709]

I actually watched this review at night with the lights off. and now im going to bed. scary dreams tonight? you bet.

[TurningJappanesse]

NOOOOOO DON'T GOOOOOO!!!!!

[werotus]

@pasadertasi

Please, I know it can be tempting to advertise stuff like that on a website like this, but for the love of god STOP.

Nobody's falling for it, you just make yourself look desperate.

[psyhodelik]

You done an Awesome works for all your HVGN. Thanks you for your show !

[aglewi41]

when are you going to review demoncrest!

[64yoyodude]

no enemies? that sucks... MAXIMUM CARNAGE REVIEW!!!!!!

[Kashikimi]

I was stoned and played through it. FUCK

[MrUberDeDuber]

@Aleanization

Play the game and find out....

[davistoa]

whats the music at 07:44 i really like it

[zhazha23]

7:25 Damn you, Derek! You read my mind!

[shinjanaytor]

What is the music used when you first showed the game?

[SchlossRitter]

A main character named Laura in a murder mystery? Who would've thought?

Ugh, another horror game sequel pigeonholed into Survival Horror, just like what happened to Parasite Eve.

[JackMetJill]

I still have this game and play it on my playstation on halloween at times :)

[applemetatin1]

what a stupid irate gamer rip off

[ST0PM0SS]

@applemetatin1 hahahhahahahahahahaha you can spell. High FIVE you earn 1 cookie. and a bj from john mathews or kesha

[blank21121]

@applemetatin1 you fucking serious!? ...you mean angry video game nerd? ...atleast this guy gives credit to avgn unlike irate gamer who just copies james all the fucking time.

[Nemesis986]

Quoted from Wikipedia--"One of the first games released by the company,[5] it featured 3D CGI, and introduced the star of Enemy Zero and D2, Laura.

they LIE

[yhmmot]

This is hvgn saying stop emailing me about the splatterhouse remake lol

[mesuki5]

hm....

i say....

irated gamer doesnt have much volint... < my bad

but my personal think is that irate gamer and you tied while avgn is just to mad

carzy...

guy who do think is nmore better?

[tonyAJ420]

Most violent T rated game? Try playing Snatcher. 

[davidhass3lh0ff]

i just want to say i am a huge fan of your show, and d is an awesome game yesterday i did my halloween specail and i did a review on this game. keep them great review coming man

[JTpombo]

@YuriLuvinAnarchist He only reviews underrated games, Goldeneye was the complete opposite

[YuriLuvinAnarchist]

@JTpombo I'm I know, my brother posted that comment.

[smithcm14]

@YuriLuvinAnarchist It's too well known.

[Bylga]

How many have played D? Was it god?

[Deepfree29]

@Bylga it's pretty weird nonetheless it is nice and it draws you in and is also somewhat scary, you should'nt miss the game if you can still buy it, however today the game is extremely rare and expensive!

[Bylga]

@Deepfree29 I agree. I just played the game and i was to scared to play this game alone in the dark. Even if the game is like ?15 years? old it is still scary and fun. I got my 2 copies of D for free (Playstation)

[Deepfree29]

@Bylga Lucky on getting it for nothing, I bought mine back in the days, many years ago actually, thinking I might do a review of it sometime soon, think it's time recollection past memories!

[Bylga]

@Deepfree29 Do that. Send me a link when you are done.

[Deepfree29]

@Bylga I will somewhere in november, I have a lot of c64 reviews coming up so in november...

[Bylga]

@Deepfree29 ok =)

[OrinjFlames24]

hey, did you hear about the splatter house remake? just kidding

[XJVHS]

This game reminds me of Heavy Rain to PS3. It's interactive movie, just go around the environment, do the actions that you can do, and it's off the next act. Even though there is alternate ways to go through the game, the same scenes repeat no matter what. It's only purpose is to collect trophys!

[Dilbez]

I would love to try this game at some point, but I don't think that'll happen.

Also, I lol'd at the end. Haha.

[thenintendogamer]

Whatever it is it's getting closer...

[Phirone123]

I've been follwoing your videos pretty much from the start and rewatched all of them several times. This is definitely my favorite episode. I don't know why... I guess it has something to do with the game. It was different than the other games you've reviewed and I'm a huge fan of horror games. I also liked the atmosphere of the whole review.

[silentzombie161]

all in all i still say both fatal frame and silent hill r infact the kings of horror games d for me reminds me of the calling for some reason.

[Ukraineianduck]

Scariest game... I would say no. Scariest game in my opinion is Call of Cthulu. Based on an H.P. Lovecraft story, you constantly have visions of dead people and a mutilated little girl. You have flashbacks leading back to your days in the insane asylum, where the most common thing seen is BLOOD RAINING FROM THE CEILING. Phychological horror, where instead of getting a weapon and killing all your enemies at the beginning, you sneak until you get to a prison. oh and lets not forget CREEPY MONSTERS

[shadydawg555]

@Ukraineianduck I am a horror game slut, Im mad at myself for not knowing about this game, D, and Call of C. Ive gotten Fear Effect, Dino Crisis *Trying to get both of the sequels* all the RE-Silent Hills-Fatal Frames, Clocktower 3 *1-2, I CANT FIND!*

So Now, I look for D, which I ALSO cant find. Also, I only got NES-N64-PS2-PS1-SNES, and ive never heard of Call of Cthulu! Im gonna guess that ISNT for those, hmph!

[vacts25]

@shadydawg555 Call of Cuthulu (or what ever it its called) was an Xbox only budget title. I never got to play it but I heard it was a pretty decent horror game.

[thenintendogamer]

lol! Paisanos XD

[airheads98]

i got that game for my friend when it came out and he fell out of his chair from being scared

[yukyuu0]

Hmm...actually I owned this game (Japanese version, since I understand Japanese too). But I didn't like this at all back in that time, and I regret it now. I think it's time to get it back.

[RkoWrestlingfan228]

This is why I'm scared of hospitals. One minute while your having surgery, who knows, the doctor could kill you and you would never know 0_0

[TheRiuchando]

Ive watched all of your reviews....twice and a couple 3 times I hope to see more!!!

[MartialHorror]

I like that you review games I've mostly never heard of. So cool.

[809Ollie]

@WhiteDarkness740 yea it says that at 1:08

[rockPanties69]

You should do Rule of Rose or Evil Twin or even Shadow Man; I heard that these are good games, and very cool. Rule of Rose & Evil Twin I haven't been able to find, and I haven't been able to get through Shadow Man, mostly because I don't know what the hell to do.

[OneTrueBelmont]

@rockPanties69 Actually, a guy named Mazer on Gametrailers did a review of Rule of Rose under his "WTF Games you've never played" series if you're interested. It is WEIRD looking game.

[bunnyhatclub]

i need to know the song at the start of this review it is realy fucking good

[jambi880]

Apparently Game Informer called this one of the worst horror games of all time, which is strange, because it looks pretty damn scary to me.

[halo123456]

@jambi880 Don't believe all those stupid writers on the GI issues.

i bet there told what to write and i even bet more that they never even get a chance to play those games. there Pathetic

[MasterMike44]

I had the same shit with silent hill 1 that was one heck of a scary game (then) too bad they messed up the others

[ov4kill]

The game sound like some illbient or gitch sounds. But It's a fucking dark game. My Eyes are bleeding it's to hard to look.

[Chaosscouter137]

Holy s**t! No sleep for me tonight

[gaminggoddess85]

I read something interesting about D.

Kenji Eno knew D would never get released in the US without some heavy censoring, so he sent the American publisher a no creepy shit/no gore version but then later switched the CD of the clean version he'd submitted with a CD of the original gory scary version, and the publisher was none the wiser :)

[gaminggoddess85]

Also, when Enemy Zero was being made it was originally supposed to be for the PSX, but Eno was mad at Sony for failing to produce enough copies of PSX D to meet the preorder numbers so at a conference with Sony he unveiled a video preview of Enemy Zero and at the end when the Playstation logo appeared it then slowly changed to the Sega Saturn logo and basically pwnd the crap out of Sony.

Kenji Eno is my hero :)

[rtv05]

@xtremepowercomputers

Yeah i miss these times, today you only get XYXYX Shooters, firstperson, thirdperson, ballsperson...serious i want some new games with scary elements and stuff.

[xtremepowercomputers]

Holy $&!%!! I had this game, I got it from Funco Land when I was about 15 or 16. Remember Funco Land? LoL I played this game over and over just so I could stare at the graphics but something happened to the second disc and I couldn't finish it! I decided to play it again when I was 18 and miraculously the second disc worked and I was able to finally finish the game.

[xtremepowercomputers]

It was the original "D", for the Sega Saturn. Games back then were so new and exciting.

[grandtheftauto5555]

D IS KINDA LAME, just because D is dracula

[JayDee284]

are you going too review D2

[DanteDMCry]

@ACCFJeremiah  actually he was inspired by da avgn and hounors him (or at least gives him some credit) in every episode even his song is a reference to him hes not coping him he reviews underated games while avgn reviews shity ones i like both hvgn and avgn u cud say dat every video game reviewer copies avgn cause hes so popular :)

[DanteDMCry]

@ACCFJeremiah 0:52 see it says "inspired by the work of James Rolfe" the avgns real name  lol sry 4 ranting about this 2 u its just its a bit unfair no 1 can review games any more because every 1 just brands them as a avgn knock off u see the new avgn review on the pong consoles HILARIOUS! :D nice review hvgn

[shadowfax273k]

I had a dream many years ago which involved going to the city, in a flea market somewhere and picking up a box or something which was labelled 'D' and had a strange picture of a woman's face. For years I assumed it was just a dream and meant to be some strange film thing, but now I realise that it may have been real and that I once saw a copy of this game. Weird.

[UnicornPow3r]

@shadowfax273k

Haha! What a trip

[Gretgor666]

"STOP MAILING ME ABOUT THE SPLATTERHOUSE REMAKE".

I lol'd so hard my cheeks started to shake.

4/5 (Y)

[therealmetroidmaniac]

That intro about the classics I think is rubbish. Can we just have the HVGN theme song?

[GooberGamer]

I don't know if I would consider Blue Stinger "crap." If you can get past the bad lip-syncing and voice-acting, then it is an enjoyable experience. It's kind of like the first Resident Evil on the Playstation: It's so bad that it is good.

Either way, I respect your opinion.

(If no one knows what I'm talking about here, then watch the intro to this video.)

[mshake64]

@GooberGamer FUCK YEAH! Blue Stinger kicked ASS!!! I don't care what anyone says haha!

[mdwivedi]

This review took me back ... Thanks!

[indigo1384]

Wow D...i remember this from when io was in middle school...scary it was.

[doomkillerz]

Good review and good game.

There is more ways to die in this game ?

I was thinking you can die only by the time limit.

[MatticusFinch1820]

i was going to email you about the splatterhouse remake lol.

[troutshooter]

lol...*raises glass...BECAUSE I ALREADY KNOW ABOUT IT!

[RetroGameWalkthroug1]

on the you know about crap not to play list, why did you put blue stinger i like that game and many people also love that game. well its your opinion but its a good game not perfect but good

[Kickboxer848]

Heya Derek (HVGN!) lol

May i just say big fan great vid!

I was wondering where Did on earth did you find "D" ?

Because I'm a big horror fan and "D" is my sort of game i love playing, but, i live in the UK and i can't find this Game anywhere! you wouldn't happen to know if it was released in the UK would you?

Also if i bought an import of the game would it be able to play on the Sega Saturn and PS1 ?

Regards Kickboxer848

Keep Making gr8 vids!

[thedarkfiredragon]

the sega saturn doesnt have region loking so you could buy an import for that but you would need special aoftware for the ps1

[Kickboxer848]

Ooo ok I'll have to find a cheap saturn then well lucky me i'v just won D! on ebay the Pal Region Version so i can't wait to play it! thanks!

[thedarkfiredragon]

your welcome i hope you enjoy it ^^

[TheSmallFish1]

man I have never heard of these games before they sound great shame I will probably never be able to play them

[flaguy34]

Game..awesome..need..more..>Ga­g>

[Nemesis986]

are there any actual enemies in D? and can i download this somewhere? not an ISO for playstation emulator, (stupid bit torrent) i mean an actual like PC version download

[tom1810]

it's very very hard to find one, but i think where i can find it

[iGodNano]

in regards to this, I have been on the lookout for a rom package of this game for the psx ever since I saw this review. I still haven't found anything. Searching for a game called "D" is a real bitch.. If anyone else has been lucky on this, please message me. I'd greatly appreciate it.

[shadowfax273k]

Try emuparadise, they may have an ISO for it in their PSX section. I've not looked myself, since I've not really sorted out my PSX emulator yet.

[iGodNano]

Thanks for the advice, my friend. I think I'd already checked emuparadise, and not sure if I had any luck. It doesn't really matter at this point. I've already buckled down and bought myself a copy off eBay. Found a real good deal and went for it.

[sozaj]

my only complaint about the game is that she moves so lethargicly (slowly).

[zergvsgenin]

Who votes that an HD remix of any of the games shown here would make you shit yourself through your roof?

[smokngamer]

AGREED!!!

[MrMMO97]

@zergvsgenin the D collection wit like PSN move COmpatible

And its D, Enemy zero and D2

[AfrojacX]

@zergvsgenin More like through the stratosphere.

...I have a low fear tolerance.

[SD91]

Now I feel bad, because I sent a message to you about the Splatterhouse remake after watching the video, and I hadnt seen this one yet...

[foamyfan231]

SUPER ULTRA MEGA DEVIL DIRECTORS CUT! xD

[paranoidude]

I did actually know Unique Began with a capital D!

[JackRed666]

If I had the chance to complete D2 on Sega Dreamcast I would.

It has four disc while Shenmue also comes with four disc though three of them are required to complete the game.

I never played the first two game though I might give them a try due to how interesting you made them in your review.

[xiocx1]

awesome***

[loadofpoopoo]

this is PS2 graphics on a PS1 awesome

[BreakerdeGodot]

Well, really bad PS2 graphics, but fair enough.

[kibjohn]

This is one of the games what could've made FMV-based games a bit more popularized. Though, it's a good game.

[sozaj]

I now have this game for the saturn now, and it is quite nice. I really like it.

[theunderminor92]

oh jesus. i was about 8 years old when my brother got this game for sega saturn. THIS GAME GAVE ME NIGHTMARES. only now do i actually see how badass it is.

[joeandbubbles]

The game looks pretty to this day. Back then I would have wanted games to look like this. and no Quake 3 does not still look good.

[OmegaBlades]

wow, D, this game used to scare me when I watched my brother play it. My brother sold the Saturn by the time I ever felt like playing it.

[AdamJaffer]

looks like a spooky game, i gotta check that out

[xMissMariiex]

It IS spooky. LOL. I hate NIGHTMARES up until my teen years because of this game XD

[RobbyRaiAshtray1122]

Things were going fine untill "But Please, Don't go watch video's of "D" online. Your only cheating yourself" and then BAM! I shut the video off because I took your advice so I don't ruin it for myself. So, now can somebody tell me what happens afterwords? haha

Good video, I like well put togeather spoofs of James. Makes me feel like I'm watching a new video of his (ignoring the lack of the shits and fucks, ofcourse).

[Vkmies]

Thanks for the spoiler there, man! hehe :P Sounds like a shitty ending. IS dracular like a dracula spin-off?

[ReviewPlayR]

not really, the multuple endings were nice, and the game itself is pretty solid, but trust me, your only going to bother to play D once.

[Vkmies]

Multiple endings? wow, sounds nice. But every ending is about this "dracular" isnt it? :P

[ReviewPlayR]

yup, but you learn that "D" is "dracular" before the part were what you do efects the ending.

[Vkmies]

oh, ok. I must say there are alot of other cooler stuff D could mean. Too bad they did the dracular thingy... Like a "Death-trap" where the character dies no matter what. or... or... "demolition", where the main characters dad would blow the hospital with the character and his dad inside...

[zuzpe]

Nice spoiling

[johnrock882]

AWSUM GAME!!!

[alaterale]

Great review! He forgot to mention the incessant "Laura!" repeating over and over, as well as the D2 sequel where she was pregnant from her "father" in this game, at least that's what I read about anyway.

[Aur0rah]

I liked garbriel knight 3 ! you will love it!

[Supperdude9]

WOW.  Enemy Zero sounds dope.

[KrokodylPiotr]

so now i don't know what to play - 'd' or 'd's diner dc' .. (or maybe d no shokotukomotokoto) i think i'll try all

[ShitCrap]

"come to d's diner, come over to d's" @ primus

[JerryTerrifying]

I'm sure the Playstation version would be the best looking if you're playing on a ps3 on an LCD tv. I played the Saturn version too but it looked pretty bad on my LCD screen.

[ninjaboyz101]

this is a weird ass hospital.

and i have to watch it online!

[Touya82TT]

Wow, seriously, I like the fact that you give credit to James Rolfe for the format and that you are doing something fresh with it. Love it, will be watching from now on.

[Decklocation]

Hey guys I just heard! There is going to be a Splatterhouse remake! fancy that!

[Decklocation]

You like guys sucking your cock then you gay faggot :)

[ReviewPlayR]

duh, everyone has known since 2008

[Decklocation]

OMG OMG OMG REALLY????

[loadofpoopoo]

wait can i find it at an old arcade store

[tigerwoman]

D was an old classic. It was the most daunting experience.

[HazenMustaine]

I've only played D2 on my Dreamcast. But now I have to track this baby down on Ebay.

I have D on the PC - and I have yet to beat Resident Evil 1, I'll start on that very soon!
