Underrated or Hidden gems, *** or awesome, I will talk about all kinds of games.
Hope this will be entertaining for you guys! Let's start!
What are we playing today? LSD for the japanese Playstation 1.
Pretty weird game... first time I played this was like 10 years ago and even back then I thought it sucked...
So, I will out once again and see if it passed the test of time... Let's start this!
It was published by Asmik Ace entrertainment Inc.
and it was developped by O.S.D. Outside directors company limited. Never heard of them before...
Here's the cd cover, I kinda like it. It reminds me of old rave flyers that we add, back in the days...
So this LSD game is technicaly a Dream Emulator.
What you are seeing right now is a montage of all the introduction videos from LSD.
Because if you wait for a while at the title screen, a intro vid will play.
Once its over it brings you back to the title screen and if you're patient and wait again eventually it will show other vids and there is like 7 or 8 differents into vids.
Check this out!
Man... that could be a killer infomercial/publicity to sell LSD, the kind of commercial that loops on TV very late at night...
Finally the title screen! The way this games works is each game/dream that you play it considered a day. Usually last from 5 to 10 mins and then it will folow with day2, day3... ect.
... so I'm already climbing stairs, I think Im in my house. It a location that you will see often in this game.
... but the areas are always kind of different even if at first glance they look very similar.
So the roof looks like a parking lot??? Check this out, Im gonna hit the wall and it teleports me...
Check this water out! They didint bother with animating water, instead they wanted to give the players a epileptic seizures.
Ok, so the geisha teleports me... I have no clue what the hell is going on here...
Ok, where am I?
Hey, this is some ugly *** right here... have you guys even seen something a pretty as this ***? Look at that polygonal tree...
Those visuals are horrible. Its one of those Ps1 game that didint age too well. Theres plenty of Ps1 games that didint age well, but this one win the cake.
Horses? intressting, lets see... ok, *** wall! In this game everytime you hit a wall or anything solid it teleports you somewhere else.
Where am I? Still lost I guess, here's a tunnel. Its dark, very dark, at least I can imagine cool stuff instead of seeing crappy *** graphx...
My god... Its like *** green everywhere. Were colors on strike when they made this? What kind of joke is this?
A turtle, let's see... wooaah, what the hell...it shrunk. Is this some kind of glitch?
Ok, where am I now? Throne room, with a star over it. I'll try to sit on it... *** that I just passed throught it...
I'll go this way instead.
Lots of chairs, stacked up like a tower. I will settle with this then, I kind of like that.
Still here!!! I guess they don't feel like teleporting me somewhere else...
Ok, a geisha playing alone with a ball. Who the hell is throwing the ball back at her?
What is her story, well its quite the polygonal story indeed. Did you see this... its painful to watch.
Ok, now my head is in the ceilling... ok let's try to get to the end of this corridor and see what is going on over there.
this place looks like its going to break apart... what, it is...
Now I'm in the desert, with our old buddy the green radioactive sky. Isint that pretty!
Now Im in ***... with the *** pyramid on the horizon. Oh and a door on top of the *** pyramid, where will this bring me?
Emptiness... with floating cubes... wooaaa Im falling!! bye bye
At least that's realistic, like in real dreams when you fall down you always wake up before hitting the ground.
So that is the evaluation screen of my dream. As you can see its right in the middle, so I guess this means it was a boring dream...
Day 2, I need a break...
Seriously, I can't believe this. Nothing makes any sense... do I really need to take some real Lsd to understand what the hell is going on in this ***?
Few moments later... what a horrible night to have a curse.
This time I'll try the basement. Usually gamer like basements, seems good place to start.
Now into the sky... where will this bring me? somewhere random since anything goes in this freaking game.
Looks like I'm in the ocean, that giant fish is modeled like a piece of ***...
Small attacking demons...
Even flying pink elephants... I never thought that I would ever see a flying pink elephant. But yeah I can finally say that I saw flying pink elephants.
This reminds me of another game... I'm looking for some sailors (Shenmue), let's hear what he as to say... he's gone and a plane crash WTF.
Its one of those game that you should play while you're brain is fried or wasted. And its a great example since you don't need it in this game.
Now in a old japanese village, with some big Godzilla/Minotaur monster in the background. I'm almost scared...
... well not really since up close he looks more like a gerbil or giant racoon. What a joke!
This is just to show you how amazing cars look in this game. No wheels or anything, just a ugly block that fell of the sky, BIG ***! Maybe it's the futur?
Damn that little girl is pretty creepy... what is she playing? Now that is almost scary I guess...
Who is this, he's approching me? yeah get out of my face, man! He reminds me of someone... I know, its...
Darkman, there was a movie. Well the first movie was pretty good, but the sequels were just plain ***...
I'll try to get around him... *** it, didint work since I saw a white flash. That means I touched him...
That zone is a *** mess... him again... leave me alone.
Now, small soldiers in a parade? I'll join them... you never know where this will send me.
Cool, Moai stone statues... reminds me of Gradius everytime! Oh the Effel tower, where will this bring me?
The house of Love... obviously!
All kinds of hallucinations, like drums playing by itself
Hallucinating eagles in the desert... maybe its real?
Nice a temple, let's check it out. Ok, sumo wreslers on popcicle sticks... and the background looks like spagetti... more like puke acctually.
I'll try to wressal with'em, aaarrrrggg Im inside the sumo's *** lol.
Ok, theres a bunch of dough boys in the sumo's ***. WTF, let's party, they look pretty cool tho... I guess Im gonna hang out with them for now...
Each day is getting weirder and weirder...
At least there lots of japanese environement, cool if you like that kind of stuff. Now that's a pretty moon!
If you like geisha's theres lots of geisha's in this fuckfest. And they all look blocky and stiff. Those 2 are kinda scaring me...
Even GIANT geisha's, move over Godzilla here comes the GIANT geisha!!! Taller than those houses...
Birds? Oh ***, are they trying to make me badtrip.... wwwoooooaaahhhh, its working I guess...
Him again, that *** wont ever leave you alone. He'a always after you, wherever you are always waiting around the corner...
Darkman might look scary like that, but look a him now... not really scary is he? he dosent even walk he just slides like he's on some rollerskates.
Is that him again... not sure. Looks like he's got a hostage... he killed him. Man...got this big shotgun Aaaaahhhh... he killed me, now that's cool. Usually that dosent happen in real dreams.
Ok, am I in paradise now? That cool man, reminds me of a movie I saw... I'll go in the mouth of my friend the sun.
Wow and all that for hallucinating pixelated ugly camel textures...
Huge rockets comming out of nowhere, going into that *** brown sky... make me want to vomit...
WTF is up with that head with arms and legs... bodyless. Ridiculous
That big face is pretty weird, it just spits out a japanese sign and leaves. Ciao...
As the game progress, the colors get worse and worse... after a while its like a ''free for all'' texture fuckfest. Japanese signs on every texture and all kinds of randomness...
Cute flower hey? That floor really is gonna make me sick, just looking at it is making me dizzy.
Overall this game is a rotten piece of ***... I don't get why some people dig this game and act like its some hidden gem... I understand that its a cult game funny to have just for show...
... its boring as hell, makes no sense. I dunno for how many hours Ive been playing this... I fell like a moron wasting my braincells on that ***.
I remember that corridor... why it is rewinding my to the begining? This also reminds me of some dream...
There is always a bad dream where you try to run, and it seems like you're stuck in mud or just not moving at all... its annoying as hell...
Seriously!!!! holy *** this is really a pain in the ***, no *** joke! Man, I want the see the end of that corridor... whats is the problem with this...
What kind of sick joke is this...? No, no don't tell me.... aaarrrrrgg Mannn... I think I'm going crazy, I really need to stop this asap.
Finally LSD... I really don't recomend this game, its boring as hell... Maybe intresting for collectors only, just to say that you have this game or for show. At least its a intresting concept
Other than having this just for talk about it, I don't see any other good reasons to own it. So boring that now I need to purify myself from this *** and play something good.
And since I'm in the right state of mind I know exactly what I'm gonna play. See you soon for my next review, Internal Section.
