7 Ambitious Games That Were Too Ambitious For Their Own Good

- Any Slytherin will tell you ambition is an admirable quality. But like Mrs Weasley fighting Bellatrix Lestrange, ambition sometimes goes too far, as in the case with these ambitious videogames that overpromised, under-delivered, and ended in disappointment.

"We're not bad at games, we're exploring the area beneath the difficulty curve." Is an amazing phrase and I'm gonna use it everywhere.
Jane's little "no one's gonna high-five me" was adorable.
That's how she gets you.
I high fived my phone for Jane 💜
@KS I high fived my phone lol
I know, I was like "Please GOD someone high-five her, the Loki pun slew me"
@@BlueHierophant I spit up the soda I was drinking and then high fived her lol
I am resistant to Jane's charm. Ellen however. ....
Too Human was very much ambitious and had tons of failings but i would be lying if i did not admit that i played this game religiously for many many months. I enjoyed the story and liked the spin, wish someone would remake it and do it right.
Aye, I vaguely remember enjoying the game at some point, many years ago. I think I own a Digital Copy on my 360, because it's not here with my Physicals.
i loved that game and it was the first game that i had played where in game armor was in the videos
This was how I was with Two Worlds. God was it an awful game, especially for what it was hyped to be. But I'd be lying if I didn't say I didn't play the hell out of it and still manage to enjoy it. For some reason.
@@Bigj089 Two Worlds 2 too. The alchemy alone.. I must've spent thirty hours of my life just experimenting with it.
Yeah, this whole thing made me wonder if my old disc is somewhere in my parent's attic. That game had some cool ideas.
„We all have ambitions. . .“
Me: _lazy snort_
Yeah, pretty bold of Andy to speak for all of us like that, eh?
Very surprised not to see Spore mentioned here. It promised the universe long before No Man's Sky. Instead we got a living genitalia creation simulator.
Is that not the universe?
How about 7 times we wanted to kill our in-game character?
Maybe the top 7 characters who were the main protagonist but were complete jerks? Top 7 jerks you were forced to play as?
Would Raiden in MGS2 count? He redeems himself later in the series... but still...
Also, now I want to see a continuation of the adventures of 'Space Jerk Ryder' in Mass Effect: Andromeda...
Literally anytime you see a cliff. Doesn't matter who you are. Doesn't matter what game. You see a cliff, you're gonna try and jump off it
With the state of protagonists nowadays... I'd need more like 70 slots to feel satisfied...
Not kill, perhaps slap sense into? Oh yeah. I can think of 7.
My vote for this category is Spore. From the very first concept video, of this velociraptor-type beast stalking around a dark world, I was hooked. As the months and years wore on, the videos got more cutesy, but I didn't care. I pre-ordered at the first opportunity... and I think that's probably the most disillusioned I've ever been with a game.
The stages were so simple that each one was only fun for about five minutes, and the whole game could be finished in a little over an hour. I had visions of walking around as a lone creature, seeing stars in the nigh sky. Naming those stars, and then visiting them when I got to the Space stage.
Erm... ja. That didn't happen. Neither did religion, economy, or any other mark of a complex, developed society.
I'm still sore. :-P
I love spore, but admittedly the space stage was not the funniest
That would be my top pic, too. I was waiting for that game for so long & it was such a letdown.
I'm not sure if I've ever heard a more spot on description of John Carmack.
"God" probably is a better description
And now God of War has tackled Norse Mythology in the funniest screw you to Too Human possible.
Yep
So did Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice and Max Payne.
(Spoilers for 2018's God of War) Helps that the protagonis of Too Human is Baldur while the main antagonis of 2018's God of War has Baldur as the main antagonist and Kratos snaps Baldur's neck in the end as hard as Epic Games puts a nail on the coffin for Too Human.
For real too human is kinda fun, I have a friend on XBL that literally 100% the fucking thing
@@theglitchexplorer3488 too human was dope
Too ambitious for their own good. Pretty sure my therapist said something like that once.
But I'll show her, when I build my own helicopter...
As long as your subsequent parachuting out goes better than Jane's in GTA Online...
Funny how it turns out that first your therapist and after that your ergo therapist can tell you the exact same thing.
I believe in you. Go on, you can do it.
Bailey Alexis Snow May I suggest the Tryggvason from IKEA? I assembled mine over the weekend.
If you have a Switch, might I suggest checking out Ellen and Luke's latest video. They may be able to assist with the scheme.
No mention of Spore? It was the No Man's Sky before No Man's Sky. It's actually decently fun... until the last stage, which is as pointless as it is endless
Actually I played spore before knowing all the things that were behind it as I was too young to know them and I really enjoyed the game. Hype really changes everything
I think spore actually was extremely ambitious, in a good way, and set forth lots of mobile games that are based around the "grow" model. Not nece with bacteria or anything, but yeah.
Spore is considered a game design milestone, so no
Zachary Fontes I spend my entire time colonising the entire galaxy and then wiping aforementioned colonies with another save, kinda fun
Spore! So much was made of the evolution side of it. In the end it was 3% evolving into a city dwelling species, 97% trying to run a Galactic empire... From ONE (ONE!!!) spaceship.
Fable 1 was AMAZING, growing trees or not
That is sorta the problem. It was an amazing game without all the promised stuff. Imagine how much cooler it would have been if technology were at Peter's level of thought,
It is very barebones, specially compared to other RPGs of their time
No one was saying it wasn't.
It was a great game, but still seriously under delivered. The issue with THAT Fable isn't that it was a bad game, it was that the marketing was very misleading. Something that Peter went on to do over and over again. So the criticism is less about the game and more about how even though the end product was good we were still essentially sold a lie.
Now Fable 3 and The Journey... well lets just say my opinion is that the franchise had a serious issue with regression rather than progression with each of the entries. From great, to good, to horrifically awful, to I can't say because 3 literally made me lose all interest in the series because of how bad it was but I feel justified in assuming Journey was bad since it used the unbelievably crappy Kinect which didn't work right.
Trespasser sold 50,000 copies. Meaning there were 49,999 disappointed people and Luke, who was just happy to have a game with dinosaurs in it.
"Development helhiem"
"Its been loki" hahaha those are great
Jane I know I’m late but every time you put your hand up i high fives you
Me 2
Same
Ok
14:57 - I love the way Mike delivers this line, especially the end. His accent really drives home the finisher.
That’s Mike, not Luke.
@@DylanGarcia1619 Thanks for that, not sure what i was thinking.
OutsideXbox promised Andy would do 1000 back flips and they disappointed us. I can't wait to see how Mike spins this.
I'm sure Andy dislocated something and was seriously injured at the end. Can't we let him off?.... Maybe just 999
It's not so much that they made a promise and then didn't deliver on it, but rather that they presented an alternate scenario which defied expectations.
To be fair, she said it was a 'Jane Douglas' promise. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that just Prudence's D&D character? Seems like poor judgement, accepting a promise from someone fictional.
Jane didn't say what YEAR Andy would do the backflips or if he'd do them in real life IIRC.
David Witheridge it's ok. He can give us one free backflip dlc as a form of apology everyday. All the gullible supporters of him, like me, will forgave him.
Can we get "7 Characters we didn't expect to warm up to but I'll be damned, we did"?
I was inspired by Teddie from Persona 4: Golden. That adorable jerk.
Now that I think about it, you could fill that whole list with social links from the Persona series...
Solid list idea mate. I didn't expect to like you at first, but I'll be damned that I did.
Vicious Zero everybody wins 😊
Or heck, the rabbids in Kingdom Battle.
Morgana and Yusuke from Persona 5 for me.
"it started at fable one, because that's how numbers work" yeah xbox
just because that's how numbers work, doesn't mean that's how naming conventions HAVE to work, either.
It’s a big step for Microsoft I don’t think they know how to count
Can't you count? It go's...
(nothing), 360, 360 S, 360 E, One, One S, One X, Series X and so on
@@FLITT not to mention 1, 2, 3, 95, 4, 98, 2000, XP, Vista, 7, 8, 10. They often have difficulties with numbers
I didn’t know Mike was married! Good for you! Your partner must love explosions...and cars...and general gaming recklessness
Come on, Jane -- of course Thor and his buddies existed before the movies. They were based on COMIC BOOKS, remember?
What were the comic books based on then?
They were based on Stone Tablets, which were based on ideas
*Andy sobbing intensifies*
Bad joke
Kevin Sundelin I’m pretty sure that’s what your dad said when your mom told him she was pregnant.
The Brits have such great words like "tosh" and "knackered". The best I can think of that the US have given is "cattywampus" which 99% of the people I've said it to don't believe is a real word, which led me to believe for most of my life that my grandfather had made it up. I swear it's real.
I just looked it up. Real word, confirmed. And thanks for introducing it to my vocabulary!
nightsong81 It's one of my favorite words! It's fun to say and the looks on people's faces are awesome. It's also a little nostalgic for me.
Recurvess I believe you.
Both the people of the U.S.A. and the U.K. really love making a contest out of their own weird words, huh?
"Not many people bought Trespasser"
*Turns and sees it on the shelf next to me, guess I'm one of the lucky few?
Those Norse mythology puns were definitely high-five worthy
Is 3 things going wrong in the intro a new record because it's the highest number, or the lowest?
The highest number of intentional hiccups, oh no wait I don't think that's right either..
Way he says it, sounds like a new high.
Yes.
joe momma low
that intro was hilarious
Oh hey I remember Duke Nukem Forever...Wish I didn't though
Slayer Runefrost
I got it for free and now I wish I could refund time and memory
Oh u remember a recent game. Clap clap
Unforgettable, but not in a good way lol
volvo145
2011 isn't recent
I remember saying...... I'll pass
I remember playing all campaigns of Resident Evil 6 with a friend when it came out, and it was one of the best gaming-experiences I have ever had. It might not be the greatest game to play alone, but it definitely is one of the greatest co-op experiences this genre has to offer.
The game's 10 anniversary just came out, and I 600% agree. It's gotten more love since this video AS a co-op game. Twitch has also helped!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA no it isn't
"It started with number 1 because that's how numbers work?"
Someone time travel back to 1977 and tell George Lucas before he makes Star Wars IV: A New Hope.
the story started at 1. not his fault he started with the second trilogy story.
It was released as Star Wars. The episodes thing came up later.
The amount of people who don't understand a joke...
@@tiacat11 people understood, it was just a shit joke
@@spacejesus6581 Mm, no to both. Some people genuinely didn't get it, and also it was a funny joke.
Don't worry, Jane, I high-fived you via my screen.
On an unrelated note, does anybody know a good place to get cracked PC screens fixed?
I don't think you can fix them. You probably have to buy another one.
Michael Science Woosh
@@michaelscience9461 Duct tape.
heh
Ah trespasser, don't you hate it when you lose control of your right arm
Octodad Vs dinosaurs
I lost it when that raptor tripped on the rock.
The acorn thing was in fable two. It's called the golden acorn and you plant it after getting the hero of strength at her father's funeral.
Fable seems to have a habit of things promised in one game, showing up in the next. Maybe if they'd just gagged Peter Molyneux for one game, they could have caught up...
And if you're anything like me you laughed at the funeral and got shushed by the monks. XD
Honestly, I can forgive Fable because it was still a pretty revolutionary game.
Most ambitious action I saw?
Andy Farrant attempting a backflip
I'm with Jane. All three (and *ONLY* three) Fable games were still quite enjoyable, once you scaled back the Molyneux-ness.
but there are only 3
@@yohnnyjames I think Amaranth is referring to Fable Heroes, that spinoff that didn't really work out.
@@sharkhammr Those are the dark places, never talk of them.
Fable hero's was alright in my opinion
@@sharkhammr I think he's referring to Fable: The Journey, actually. Heroes was surprisingly good but suddenly cancelled due to Lionhead's reorganization.
RE:6: slightly improved graphics and voice acting.
RE:7: basically a fucking brilliant movie.
Well at least they tried.
You guys are great, really entertaining stuff, keep up the good work!
I love how Andy doesn't even try to get off the chair when it's on fire. That's dedication!
Jane's hair is beautiful. I totally doesn't notice the horns.
I think it's like Hellboy and she buffers them down perhaps?
Neither of you are supposed to mention them at all
Fable 1 was amazing. I spent so many hours in it.
Also, Resident Evil 6 isn't a good RE game but it's a fun game overall. Especially co-op.
Platinum'd the game on PS4 with a friend.
Even the youtube algorhythm recognised the cyberpunk 2077 fiasco that they recommended this 2yo video to me.
Yay, they talked about my favorite game, Tresspasser! Would love to see you guys do a Let's Play of it.
I still have my original disc and have kept a note to myself in the case to turn on cheat codes because the dinosaurs were so aggressive (even the herbivores or "veggiesaurus") And I remember using AOL online to search for walkthroughs while having to pause Napster because downloading a song would make browsing go so slow (while hoping no one tries to make a phone call).
Thanks for all the great content you guys!
This comment is so 90's that I tried to run in it.
I still have mine too!!😁 They need to VR a modern version of this, with motion control... The concept of a Jurassic Park action game with *no HUD*, no ammo counter, (maybe not the bewb health thing, but similar) being able to bludgeon the poop outta anything with your empty gun... Totally b'dass!! 😝
Sorry, never had to use AOL... God that sucked! 😉 Hi-Five! 🙋
*ME:* But Jane, what about Fable Fortune or Fable Heroes?
*JANE:* ...
And that noob was never heard from again 🦑
You forgot Fable: The Journey...I wish I could forget it though
Altdorf Kalle Oh come on, now you’re just making things up.
I'm pretty sure there is a kinect game by that name.
Wow... call myself a gamer... I can't even get 'got' properly. Mayb'e i'll just get off with a beating instead of complete disappearance.
Altdorf, for bringing it up, on the other hand...
Check your sinks / showers / toilets for squid attack 🦑
I will just repeat my earlier comment:
Those were all the Fable games. Anybody who thinks differently is badly mistaken, and _should be ashamed_ of themselves.
Now go be ashamed.
lmao @ Patrik Hjorth
All I thought of was a procession of people doing a GOT style walk of atonement through London behind Cersei.
DING... DING... *SHAME* ... DING... DING... *SHAME* ...
You guys forgot Two Worlds from this list. It was marketed as the Oblivion killer with more sidequests, bigger world and more features which of course weren't there.
Anyone else hi-five Jane when she made the norse mythology reference?
Literally thought 7 was just going to be "Everything by Peter Molyneux"
Ouch. Even if the first two Fable games are great, just... ouch.
Next time, don't make promises when you know it's not likely to happen.
Remember Mighty No. 9.?A kickstarter that was supposed to be the spiritual successor of Megaman. Yeah, that didn't happen. It was probably worse for the people who actually funded it.
Sovash Chetty yup. Unfortunately.
It had potential
What's ironic is that Inti Creates, one of the co-developers, made their own version of it called Mighty Gunvolt Burst which is a crossover with their own IP Azure Striker Gunvolt and it is far more better and on a lower budget.
Umer Mahmood a reason i heard was that inti creates can't do 3d games
It actually did feature everything it promised (so far as I'm aware) it just did so in the most boring and derivative ways imaginable.
I expected Too Human, and was pleasantly surprised to see it first. I still have my copy, and I actually love the game. It’s unfortunate we’ll never see the full trilogy.
This just happened to come up on autoplay while I had CZcams on in the background...
... while on an Expedition in No Man's Sky. Really makes that particular entry hit different. Lol
Oxtra is an example of ambitions done RIGHT.
Best expansion pack ever.
Oh, you say that NOW, but one day Luke’s hubris will be his undoing. That, or Ellen will see a very cute kitten and die on the spot.
Terry9135 no one was promised anything, and we got slightly more.
smnoy23 who would last the longest if we stuck both Ellen and Luke in a petting zoo surrounded by adorable variants of different animals?
I actually think behind that cold hard exterior. Luke would crack first.
Or you know, BotW.
What about the somewhat recent ME : Andromeda? Their original idea included insane ambitions that only led to an unrealized vision, little development time for the actual released product, the critically acclaimed series turned into a joke, and the whole team getting dissolved even before patches were done rolling out.
Loveunit Good example.
I loved trespasser so much! It was so difficult in the most buggy way that I couldn’t stop laughing. But I still wanted to complete the puzzle with tripping clumsy raptors chasing me.
Also you’re amazing Jane.
I watched a video of someone playing trespasser a while ago. I had no idea it was a "finished" product, I thought it was a crappy work in progress indie game. Thanks for educating me Oxbox!
Spore was like this. So much potential. But then there were creature stages missing; big, empty worlds; big, empty space; simplified creature creation; and a choice between the very limited developer content populating your galaxy, or a mess of random user created content spoiling everything.
You mean a choice between developer content or straight up dicks
It was all I heard about before it came out, after it came out everyone forgot about it. Good ol’ case of too much hype for a bad game.
Part of the problem is we got to see a demo that was looking amazing but then EA told Will "not kid friendly enough" and gutted the hell out of it. So yeah, there is a demo that exists that is arguably better than the released spore.
02whurdlea blame EA for forcing will and maxis to gut the game to make it ‘more kid friendly’
I feel Spore was a big miss on this list. I was SO excited for that coming out. I even got a new laptop so I could play it. Turns out it was basically 4 minigames
Fable: the lost chapters. If the trees grew over time the wood sky would look amazing
I actually own Too Human and thought about getting rid of it but, knowing I have a the game with its original case in good condition feels too cool to part with.
Jane's puns have Surtur-nly brought me to Tyrs.
szbnahl Ha ha.
szbnahl You need Hel-p
Please stop Thor-menting me
Odin't tell me you're not enjoying them.
OK, you win my Freyja-nd, I'm really Loki-ng forward to more
A possible idea for a list that just came to me, somewhat in the spirit of this one: how about games that were ahead of its time, never getting the recognition they deserved during their release, but grew in popularity much LATER, when gamers "wised up" to what was offered to them?
Not sure how to classify entries to such a list, but games like "Planescape: Torment" or original "Beyond Good and Evil" comes to mind for me.
Kewryn Kingdoms of Amalur: The Reckoning. It deserves a sequel.😄
@gml0504: well, I never played it nor do I know much about it, so casting judgement here is out of my hands... but I have a weird that if outsidexbox actually does the list I proposed, Ellen won't allow that title to be left out :D
"Jake! Hurry!"
"Hell ya!!" *thumbs up*
I still remember the E3 reveal of No Man's Sky and me saying it was going to be a massive flop, then getting completely bad-mouthed and told I was salty.
And I still regret never being able to find my comment on that video to show everyone how right I was for useless CZcams likes... *sigh* I need better things to do.
and i still remember the consistent updates, like multiplayer and race customization, that made the game so much better.
it's actually fine now
Tbf NMS actually really good now.
I was banned from a facebook fan group just for asking what that shit even was about and then not being impressed
Yay Trespasser! The sound of my Voodoo card screaming in agony as the framerate dips is writ in my memory forever.
I remember playing it, and it being soooo hard to control!
Gakk 86 The sound of your Voodoo card? I assume you meant to type "video"?
Turning the graphics settings to high and watching my computer freeze and crash Lol.
And the struggle of trying to type in a code on a keypad, only for your hand to mash all the buttons on the last one. haha but I still love the game.
I think they meant Voodoo not video, with 3Dfx's Voodoo Graphics card with a whole 4MB at 50 MHz or the VooDoo2 with 12MB and 135MHz.
What about Activision's "American Chopper", which implicitly promised it would not be entirely dull?
Waaaay too ambitious.
well... same could be said for a lot of Activision games, and yet they decided no sequel for the game Singularity, ahhh I don't understand the world sometimes.
Tbh fable 1 is one of my favorite games of all time.
9:45 That raptor face planting (neckplanting?) was too much. xD
So... Finally, we unveiled the mystery of 'who let the dogs out'.
Jane did.
or rather, who let the dogs *in*
Jaaaaaane!
I'm so glad I went into the Fable series, (Fable: The Lost Chapters, PC) at thirteen, with no preconceptions or expectations beyond the box. I loved the first one, still in many ways my favorite RPG. The second one disappointed me with it's simplified magic system and somewhat less deep plot, though was otherwise just as good. The third simplified the magic system even further, though I feel I should note, in both cases there is a good in-universe explanation (left unsaid in-game) for this, and required multiplayer for full completion, a downside for any primarily single-player game IMO, but brought back a more engaging plot than two, if more railroaded than I felt the previous two were, largely due to feeling a lack of anything real to do outside of the main plot. The characters remained, aside from main characters, fairly shallow across the series, though again I think one and three fleshed out secondary characters better, and had a larger cast of them. A great series, ruined in the eyes of many by unfulfilled promises.
Ah, the benefits of not being born at the game's release time. Talk about "Vindicated by History".
My only gripe with Fable: TLC was replacing Jack of Blades voice actor, which I hated, it went from a nuanced creepy voice in Fable 1 to a bad Batman impression in TLC. Still loved the game though, especially the 3 Heroes Questline. Briar Rose and Thunder are both douches, lol. Fable 2 was a lot of fun but yeah, they did simplify the magic for sure. Did you ever get the Diachi? Arguably one of if not the best weapon in the game, so much fun to use. As for Fable 3, the voice cast was really good, Reaver was overused, the weapons adapting to how you use them was cool, as was spell weaving. But overall the game was a big disappointment imo, it felt like a downgrade from Fable 2 in most ways and getting rid of the expression wheel was a stupid choice. I can go back to Fable 1 and 2 any time and have a blast, as for Fable 3, I can barely make it 2 hours into it before I give up and play a better game instead.
I have 2 copies of Too Human. I enjoyed the idea, control was a little difficult. I was excited to see the story finish though
I didn't know that about too human!! I have a copy, but havnt played it yet. Guess I should give it a play!
Hey, let's appreciate one thing that Resident Evil 6 did with it's AI companions...invincible, infinite ammo, NO MANAGING ITEMS WITH THEM. Dumb they may have been, but at least they were dumb and invincible and didn't need ammo. *glares at RE5*
Uzume OrangeHeart And they could get out of otherwise fatal enemy grab attacks pretty easily, like those regenerating things.
Yeah in my opinion I really hate the hate on RE6 just because it's not a good re game doesn't mean it ain't a good game
So truuuuuue!!! RE6 may not have been resident evil in its style, but i LOVED IT nonetheless.
I think that RE6 is a very fun game, especially if you play it in multiplayer mode. It's not fantastic but, it is very enjoyable.
The Kinect. Not sure if it counts, but it was ambitious as heck.
For that matter, the Wii. Most games treated motion effectively as a button and the Wii Motion Plus was too little, too late. Probably my most regretted video game purchase of all time.
and worked better as a ghost detector than a fine movement detector lol. Lol she asks if we knew Thor was a thing before the movie... waht a shallow question. My cats names are Loki Baldur and Thor lol
And the Wii U
Ryan Navin You realize that was a joke, right?
@@albertgore7435 Hard to catch sarcasm in type this is one of the reason chatting online can never replace face to face conversation.
17:07 I love this channel and their sense of humor so much. THOSE ARE ALL THE FABLE GAMES. Agreed!
That description of John Carmack is frighteningly accurate. Well done.
Honestly the main failing of Too Human was to think that Baldur, the essence of all that is good and beautiful in this world, would make a good hardcore sci fi hero.
(edited for spelling)
hmm he'd be better as the good cop in a team of heroes.
Well, the game's actually set post-mistletoe and whole lot of Baldur's conversations with the other gods are him trying to get them to tell him the truth about "the accident" he was in and has no memory of. He also sort of IS the good cop among the pantheon, he's the one who reminds the others that humans are their responsibility to protect, rather than extras/redshirts/props in the epic conflict the aesir and jotunns are engaged in (and he's still pretty casual about bringing his soldiers into the parts of fights they aren't capable of handling). He's completely furious with them when he eventually finds out the truth about his "accident" and the underhanded shit the aesir engaged in to get him back from Hel.
Oh, I think Mass Effect Andromeda should totally be on this list.
Nika0Zabka No it can't because there is no such game
No, it wasn’t too ambitious. It was just bad. The developers totally could have done a good job after showing us the previous mass effects. They just got lazy. But it was totally possible.
with that they just outsourced it to b team to meet a deadline
17:12 i mean. i wouldn't cosider myself a fan, but it was one of the first games i played back in the days. and i liked it well enough to continue playing and watching my brothers play as well. i stand with you on this one.
Damn it! I just learned about the too human dispute, I actually quite liked that game and have been looking for a way to play it. That sucks
If you want to know about Jon Romero, John Carmack, Doom and Daikatana read "Masters of Doom", yes, a book.
"We're not bad at games; we're just exploring the area underneath the difficulty curve." ...Dude what do I need to do to be allowed to use that one. I mean I'll beg, I'm not proud. Er, or rather... I'll ask very nicely, I'm not... bound by ego?
I very much liked the helheim reference to north mithology, well done
You guys are the best. Really!
This gave me a thought; how about a video about games that came incomplete, but ended up becoming more fleshed out later on?
Like almost every Battlefield, No Man's Sky, or GTA online etc
YouIndeedSuck it was nice when games came out and they were actually finished.
Oh Jane, how i love you...
I high fived my screen for you.
I need a new laptop...
Typing this on my phone bc goddammit
The wife and I actually enjoyed RE6, but we know we are alone in that
I loved 6. From start to finish.
Probably because u like action games and the bulk of the fan base likes horror
Not much of action game peoolr though we've liked a few over our many years. Admittedly it is not as survival oriented, but it was still enjoyable.
Glad you enjoyed it.
I enjoyed Leons part, the others...not so much.
Still I'm one of those people who didn't appreciate the change the series made even at RE4 (although I did love the game to death - I just thought they should've made a new series..) Also RE3 is my favourite, which is another very unpopular opinion - "old school" RE fans always prefer Remake or 2. So I guess, each to their own :)
Is either you like and appreciate it for what it is, or you don't. Love survival horror, but that does not mean their stories cannot or should not evolve. Glad to see the wife and I were not there only ones to enjoy RE6.
This is the first time I see Tresspasser mentioned on CZcams! I have such a weird memory of this game my dad played. I was 6 and shamefully admit that I was too scared to get past the tutorial level. o.o My dad never finished it either - he says he got stuck on a level/area where a T-Rex (unkillable I think) chased you the whole time and Raptors kept jumping out of bushes, that you had to shoot - but for that you had to stop to pick up guns and the T-Rex would catch up to you.
Still, I'm impressed to learn that it was the first game to have open world, ragdoll physics and AI-based behavior. O.O I gotta find me a Windows95-version and a copy of this XD
Did anyone else check the time when Mike said Andy talked about RDR2 every 15 minutes and expect it to be the end gag? Curse you and your backflips, Jane!
Another promise of something to come that never panned out.
I believe the video needed to be another 20 seconds longer before another "RDR2" shout was to be made... (that's how far I went into checking!)
Andy said he was okay
*Andy wasn't okay*
I still have my copy of Too Human, I LOVED that game beat it a couple times so I could unlock all the powers and secret areas.
I still would want to play 'Too Human" it looks pretty cool IMO
It's free in the Xbox Live store.
Plenty of interesting ideas, terrible execution. For instance, the deep, complex upgrade/customisation system is stapled onto a terrible combat system, which leads to a lot of unfair feeling deaths, when Baldur treats your inputs as vague suggestions at best, and that's not mentioning the INCREDIBLY annoying unskippable Valkyrie coming to retrieve your body sequence which is nice to watch maybe 2 or 3 times, and then blights the rest of the game by breaking all flow. You also come to realise that the devs used enemy spam as a substitute for competent level and enemy design way too quickly. There's the makings of a good game in there somewhere, but it's buried under way too many poor design decisions, and the Epic lawsuit
I'm so happy that Jane, someone with such good taste in games and fashion, likes all three Fable games.
Okay, I'm gonna say it.
Resident Evil 6 was fun
Too Human was one of my favourite games as a kid, the story was amazing, gutted to hear about its recall
It's now free in the Xbox Live store.
11:43 What are you talking about Andy, this is some of the best voice acting I've heard in my life smh
How about EYE: Divine Cybermancy, the incredibly opaque game where psychic alien monsters that manifested people's fears destabilized a nice healthy cyberpunk dystopia and led to your amnesiac avatar becoming the centerpiece of a shadow war? To this day I still have no idea what the plot was about, although I do remember having to walk across a vast military complex to activate research topics that would progress in real time while I went on missions. Also, you definitely needed at least two more hands to be able to activate all the hotkeys for your cybernetics and psionics while you were in combat.
Freedom's Flame hmmm
Also, Fable.... I want more Fable, but let me romance story characters!!!! Ben Finn! Cailyn! Come on!
pfff Let me romance Reaver. That's all I ask
Fun list and never heard of two of these. Least I will give credit to No Man's Sky Development team for working on it and getting it recently far far closer to their own vision of what the game should of been at launch.
I really liked Too Human. I loved the story it was great. It needed some gameplay tweaks, but it had a lot more promise then a lot of people thought so. I bought it new, and them again used when the GameStop I was working at, at the time, received a used copy.
I'm just going to go ahead and add Half-Life 3 to this list. Your move Valve...Your move.
lisquidsnake that’s probably why they aren’t going to make it. They probably know no matter what comes out won’t be good enough.
"Began with Fable 1. Because that's how numbers work."
Looking at you, Microsoft
Fable 2 starts with your character as a kid and then does a time skip. I always wished they'd poked fun at themselves by having a quest in the first part where you plant an acorn and then you see the tree during the second part.
"I would have been REALLY upset if you didn't include what you included" - me, and also everyone else
