This game was suggested by a viewer (thanks!) but we had already planned to do it. My girlfriend owns it actually.
I should say, it's an awesome game, and a ton of fun if you like the JRPG style.
It's just got a VERY weird plot.
If anyone wants to suggest games, please do: graham@loadingreadyrun.com
Put "unskippable" in the subject line though.
Also, we've looked at Devil May Cry, and it's good, but a little short. We may still do it, but not right now.

My library isn't boring at all. I just listed some of the more popular games off the top of my head. In fact I have games from a lot of different genres. A lot more diverse than many people's. And my list doesn't have a lot of shooters, unless you're counting every single war game as a shooter. I don't see how you could say that just because I don't have a lot of Japanese games I don't have many games, or interesting ones. In fact, if anything Japanese games seem more confined to specific genres than other ones.Vlane said:
Now I remember.
The quote, when he's running: "Motion Blurrrrr!" Sounds strangely familiar. I mean, on Homestarrunner.com, Strong Bad answered an email about web comics, and how photoshop effect-laden some can become... "Ocean Ripple!" "Find Edges!" "Sharpen More!" "Erm...! Nudge!"
"Motion blur" fit in, though I could just be connecting them in my mind.

Seriously. I'm surprised they haven't referanced how many voices he has done in the games they've riffed on so far.Mariena said:

Sorry, I don't like the style of the Japanese games that I have encountered. It's a very subtle thing about the pacing that frustrates the hell out of me. There's a few thematic things that I'm not much of a fan of either. (Eternal Sonata's little monologue about how much humans suck and how the moon is so beautiful made me want to strangle myself.) I get bugged to no end by poor translations as well, so it colors my vision of them. They are pretty seldom matched as far as setting up a creepy situation, though...
I personally have plenty of perfectly interesting games that do not happen to be Japanese. Do you really believe that almost all good games come from Japan?
Planescape: Torment... Baldur's Gate. Psychonauts. Hitman. The Witcher. (HA! That one isn't even American!) Deus Ex. Mass Effect, you called a shooter. A shooter? Everything with guns is not a flat shooter. *shrugs* You seem to be selectively mentally blotting out a really large selection of games.
*end Pet Peeve*
Digital Devil Saga has a fairly complicated story. You'd never make sense of it just by watching the intro.
Anyway, good video, but I think there's far worse games than this you guys could be targeting.

Man, so many references, I've lost count. The space balls one was well executed, awesome job. Keep the lol's a rollin'!
I mostly play games from the US (various shooters, RPGs and RTSes as well as my all-time favorite Sacrifice which is something inbetween), Germany (like Gothic and Spellforce) or other European countries (Silver is from France I believe).
I'm not really into Japanese games either. Otoh, those are mostly for consoles and the only console I have back home is the PS One... Huh, Medievil and Worms World Party aren't Japanese, are they? I think the only Japanese game I own is Tekken 3.

It's worth mentioning that DDS borrows heavily from Hindu culture and mythology, so there's not much that's 'Japanese' about it shy of having been developed there.
The Embryon's base is called Muladhara, for example, and most of the bosses you fight are straight out of Hindu lore.
Mythology references are all over the place in most most SMT games, but DDS is especially focused on Hinduism.
