Title: Hybris vs Xenon 2 (Amiga) - Which Is The Best Shooter?
Post by: ZEUSDAZ on 22:33, 20 January 16
Hi everyone and welcome to a new chapter / section on the Zeusdaz Youtube channel entitled "WHICH IS BEST?".
Following the great response of my test-run compare video "Double Dragon III - Amiga vs DOS title music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PlxinrdccUc (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PlxinrdccUc) to which even Andrew Barnabas himself jokingly voted for the Dos version..., I decided to carry on with the idea of comparing certain games / music and letting you decide which is best in a vote.
Once a month I will do one of these videos and if popular like the last one I will keep doing them otherwise I will end them, It's all down to you (http://www.lemonamiga.com/forum/images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif)

Anyway, this time It's 1 on 1 with Hybris and Xenon 2,...which is the best?

Happy voting!!! (http://www.lemonamiga.com/forum/images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif)

Zeus.

Hybris does the job.
Xenon 2 has low framerate and it's all about that intro.

+1 for Hybris. It's super smooth, very playable and has a kick-ass chiptune-like sound track. It's only fault is that it borrows so much from Terra Cresta that it kind of enters 'unofficial conversion' territory. But who cares if it's as good as it is.
With Xenon 2 I always get very annoyed by the inertia-heavy controls. I'm also not that much of a fan of that Bomb the Bass music. It's cool for the intro, but as in-game music it gets on my nerves pretty fast.

Your channel is cool but to be honest, I couldn't stand the 5 mins of just talking - no video part of this vid. Why? :)

And if I didn't put commentary on that video I would of had several other viewers complaing that I should have, so obviuosly I cannot please everyone.
Also that is what the time bar is for,...to move ahead and skip things in a video.
I also made it clear that as it was a new section, the commentary would only be in that 1 video to explain the purpose of the new section, in other words any new "which is best?" videos will not have commentary,...only "let's plays" and "shit game time" videos will have commentary.
Try to be a little more patient!!!  :P

I think Hybris is the better shooter if you look at the mechanics. But, come on, who wasn't blown away by Xenon 2 back in the day? Ok, maybe 1% :D
