Let's Play - Chakan: The Forever Man (GEN) - Part 01

Well this is my very first video ever, so don't expect much out of it. I'll show a bit more personality in the coming videos and I'll eventually find a way to get the BGM and SFX in there, right now that's pretty much impossible. So, bare with me and try not to fall asleep. lol

A pity you never continued this.

I like your detailed commentary to it.

LPs are often a lot more shallow with no attention towards the finer details of a game.

Also a pity to play it without featuring its music, though.

As you said, it was its most noteworthy element.

I think it was what motivated me to finish the game, back then. The atmosphere was brilliantly set up by the background story and music. Mysterious and enchanting.

I finished it twice, to tape the music on the 2nd run.

@Kijinn I agree it is a shame it never continued, but I still might -way- down the line when my equipment improves. I figure without the ability to offer that create audio from the game, and without a RELIABLE computer, the project will suffer in the long-run. So I think I will probably just cancel this one, wait until I get better opportunities for it, and deliver a much better final product later on that people can really feel stands out from other Let's Play of this amazing game.

@Poeden

Thanks for the somewhat delayed reply! XD

You make it sound like one of those plans we come up with throughout our lives, that'll never see execution.

Don't feel bad about it, though. How about any other LPs? You didn't seem overly active here, recently. =)

@Kijinn Well right now with my limitation on audio... I doubt I will be doing a Let's Play any time soon, but it is possible. The reason I started Chakan was because of how much love I have for it, but I jumped into the deep end without even tipping into the shallow by picking a very difficult, moderately long game. It was not a good idea for my first project. If I DO make a Let's Play soon, it will likely be on something shorter, or at least easier like Beyond Oasis or SoulBlazer.

[Poeden]

@Kijinn But even then? Do not expect it. I think I will be jumping into film and video game -reviews- before the longer projects, since those can be released in one or two parts easily, without worrying about a -long- process that could die early.

My dad use to have this game & when I was a child I usually play it, even though I didn't know much of it... I never got the hang of it either ^^;

@0AllForNaught0 This is really important to you, isn't it? o_O Chakan does not work how many old-school games did. It was very unusual, especially the layout and potion system. It can be very confusing to watch it without any explanation if you never played it before.

But... if it is really that important to you and bothers you that much... watch a different video. :)

@Poeden "Explain" how everything works?!? ExPlAiN?!?!? Do you know how many people own video game consoles in 2011?!? We have a pretty firm grasp of what's going on without you narrating it, I think!
