What's the worst game you've played on Steam? 🚫
The Underground Man, but I finished it so the joke's on me really
Anything with the misfortune to have been "developed" by the ex(?) mobile gambling app devs and tobacco industry enthusiasts, 343 Industries....so every halo made since Bungie surrendered their miracle genius child to the weird guy in a van down by the river because they had to "go buy milk and smokes".
Series stopped at 3 as far as I'm concerned and the real Chief is dead in a gutter.
sadly i made that game by myself
Resident Evil 3 Remake. That was the first game ever I just straight up refunded.
What's the gimmick around your name? Do you actually dress like an adult baby and have someone pretend to be your dad?
Wife, wake up. Our favorite son uploaded a video
Hope you enjoy!
I'm so proud of him
ride wife, life good
“He’s YOUR favorite son. I like the other one better!”
- the wife
all one-hundred-and-eight thousand dads love this son the best.
When a shovelware publisher names themselves "Game Mill", I think they know exactly what they are.
And that makes it worse really.
Was so sad to see Knights of Pen and Paper get such a disappointing sequel in 3. I played the second one for hours and hours when I was younger on my tablet, since I didn’t even have a laptop or a pc. It was a joy to play on long rides or when I was at home. Was excited to see where the 3rd one would go, but...yeah.
Big disappointment for me to be honest.
Yeah I also played the mobile version a huge amount as a kid :(
I didn’t know there was a 3 and i wish that remained the same
i remember the first one so much, i saw a bit of the second and was kinda eh about it but a THIRD? nah bruh
I don't like being too harsh on the Kong game because the devs were forced to make it in a year's time (from scratch) by the publisher, who apparently didn't give them much direction or assistance. The Verge has an interview with a couple of the devs. There's not much that anyone could do in that situation.
Make better business partners?
@@KyleDevy 💯🧠
We love a youtuber who calls a 41-minute video a "shorter project"
fun fact about that horse game:
I'm pretty sure it is just a very weird remaster/port of another game released back in 2008 (I think?) called my riding stables - life with horses. That one was a true childhood banger and has much more content and is a bit more in depth.
It's just so weird seeing that game basically reskinned in 3rd person considering how old it is lol especially since the old one somehow manages to look better.
horse economy 3: stable markets
buy low, sell hay!
I also played the original as a kid! i got pretty good at the foal training mini game
Really surprised to see Knights of the Pen and Paper 3 reviewed so negatively! I remember liking the first one quite a bit. It's very disappointing to see they went down the full mobile route.
Wasn't happy to see it end up there
the original knights of pen and paper on mobile (before the goofy ass rework) was such a banger and so well priced man
Thank god you posted, I was worried I’d have to spend time with my second favorite son tonight.
Back to the kennel, Trent
Yeah Trent, get outta here
21:43 Skull Island: Rise of Kong is not related to 2017's Monstervese film. The name Kong & Skull Island are in this grey area of public domain due to the original novelization, but the title 'King Kong' is copyrighted. There's multiple Kong projects out there from TV shows, board games & movies that have no relation to Warner Bros., and film rights are all over the place in terms of who owns what.
In defense of (the original) only up's dev, they removed the stolen assets quickly when called out, I don't think they ever intended for the game to get as big as it did.
I feel like there's some great emergent horror to come from something like Chinese Train Trip. what with the cars repeating ad nauseum and all. it wouldn't take much to tweak it into a subtle horror experience
Really sad to hear about KoP&P3. I really liked the first one but honestly lost track of the series, and didn't realize it had so many titles in it now. Still, sucks to have a quaint and fun game turned into schlock over time.
It's almost inevitable these days.
Son, your mom and I are hoping you don't lose yourself in your self destructive gaming habits! You deserve to play good games too!
Another great video! I wonder how much each of these games have made. I hope it's not a depressingly high amount.
I'm loving this series! I discovered your channel from your first one of these and ended up binge watching all your other videos.
Glad you've enjoyed the content!
the interesting thing with the horse game for me is that when i was younger i had the exact same game on my 3ds, just with different graphics. So the game is basically copy and paste lol
As soon as I saw My Riding Stables, I just went "Oh god, isn't this that Switch game?" It's either that or one is an asset flip of the other. The Switch version also apparently has some pretty awful input delay, I think Beat 'Em Ups covered it at some point.
Side note, "hidden travesty" was really clever. It got a good chuckle out of me
"Some licensed games give you two reasons to play them, a property you might be interested in and some new mechanics that fit that character and world...they seemingly forgot to include that second part."
Gollum, amirite?
Son, I would like it if you reviewed the worst or best of a specific subgenre, like souls like or metroidvania. But I love and support you no matter what you decide to do.
Focusing on specific genres would definitely freshen it up! Will try that next time.
You think you cant screw up the concept of kong but apparently you can
They found a way
Life Finds A Way@@YourFavoriteSon1
DGU looks to me like an unlicensed Funko Pop game.
I love that this is something you are doing.
Maybe for pateron members you should review 10 of the worst NSFW steam games lol
I think that would permanently break me
God that sounds painful seeing as all of them are almost 100% trash.
@@gucciguy3408on top of trash they are coomer hell
there is some banger breeding games there like the one sseth reviewed recently lol
@@elitereptilian200💀💀☠️☠️
Since You showed us more bad games I found out that the publisher/dev behind the Horse Game made Bibi Blocksberg games and I was pretty surprised that there are even games about German Animated Series about Witch Kid which was part of my childhood. What I read those games are pretty good. Also Revolution 60 reminds me so much about Megaman Battle Network in one Minigame to be honest.
When you said, “hey, dad, it’s me, YourFavoriteSon,” I immediately subscribed. It’s such a funny and wholesome concept for a channel, it made me smile.
Then I watched the video, and I hit the notification bell. It’s a great video!
Keep up the amazing work! I hope your channel continues to grow, you deserve a lot more subscribers!
Now, to watch your whole catalogue 😂
son, I would be proud of you if you can talk about the "fear and hunger " games😊
On a happier note, have you been playing the new RGG game Son? You are a large part of the reason I got into the series. So thanks for those reviews :)
Here and there. Haven't had a ton of time to delve into but I'm enjoying my time with it so far!
DGU seems interesting. It reminds me of Naughty Bear a bit but with Funko Pops.
its pretty much bully.... tbh the art style looks familure like one of those game engine games like rpg maker. there were figures like funko pop with more detailed eyes then the black ones for get the name though sorts like mini collector things.
After seeing the Knights of Pen and Paper mini-series review I'd love to see a look at the flash game series Sonny. Has a similar downfall with the only remnant being a sad app store remake - it just tread the same ground a few years earlier, really. Sucks when a really promising concept just gets churned through The System.
Yup, thats some shitty games u got there, but "THE WORST" steam games gives you an extra DLC called: a malware.
This is the best series.
Thanks brother!
Hey son. Still proud. Keep it up.
It's honestly refreshing to see someone call out bigger creators so bluntly trying to moralize their behavior with the Only Up thing. Like if you just want money, just say you just want money, don't try to make this a revenge thing against a product that you promoted lol.
10:48 It seems pretty obvious to me. The horse-looking thing on the compass is your horse, and the circle is the checkpoint. But I admit it is bad design for the checkpoint to seem to be moving instead of the horse.
It seems ive been buying new games less and less i very rarely purchase games at full price even good games just dont seem to justify $60-$80 I'm unsure if im just getting old or the industry is changing or perhaps both
I'm sure it's a little bit of both. I definitely am not satisfied with half of the new game purchases I make because I just can't justify the price point.
Yea same for me the only things I see worth getting newer nowadays is multiplayer strategy games and even those are slowly getting ruined by the devs/publishers. CA being a big destroyer of its IPs currently as they basiclaly forced me to boycott them for the forseeable future.
Or perhaps you were never that into gaming? And it was just something you did because those at school did and now you left you have no reason to keep the charade up?
Jeff Minter still plays games. So do people like Romero and Carmack. They are all over 50. What about Shirley Curry? Known as Skyrim granny?
As I said, sounds more like you are a poser with nobody to pose for. Gaming hasn't gotten any worse. You are an idiot if you think it has. Wii was filled with shovelware. Steam Greenlight was a shitshow. Games in the 8 and 16bit era used to lie on the boxes to get you to rent them. Don't even get me started on Arcades being as bad as F2P.
Look at it this way. Kids are bitching like little f**** babies about the cost of COD MW3... Saying "it's DLC charged full price" ... Yet MW2 back on the 360 and PS3 had 4 DLC packs costing £15 each... So the exact same... SO the industry hasn't changed that much. Age has nothing to do with it.
Maybe you will find some friends and you wont feel the need to lie and fit in. Or maybe you will find friends with a hobby you actually enjoy.
@@YourFavoriteSon1 Why? It hasn't changed? That is more on you. also that reeks of someone that has little experience... You think back in the NES days people were happy with Simons Quest? How do you thihnk youtubers like AVGN managed to make a living? If anything the quality of games is higher now.
I made the point about MW3 before. People bitch about the price and call it DLC with no hint of irony given season passes and DLC for the older MW games and black ops. The same with this... Personally some of the best games ive played in decades have come out recently!!! From Baldurs Gate 3 to the latest Zelda! Games like Chained Echoes have also made me so happy. Crossing Souls was another game I loved. I mean I am guessing you didn't game before 2015... Should I mention things like Simpsons Skateboarding? What about Sonic 06? or Godzilla from 2014? Or Charlie's Angels on ps2? Aliens Colonial Marine is pretty famous.
This is such a stupid comment... ps2 and Wii was fucking awful for the shovelware... I mean there was even a God awful Little Britain game. And what about shit like Ninjabread Man... Which was reskinned into 4 different games. What about that awful Tomb Raider game that killed the franchise and Angelina Jolie tried to sue for affecting the box office of the second movie? What about the Crash games that killed the franchise? Or Spyro? They all came out around the same time on the PS2 and you are really gonna do the old man boomer gammon thing of "back in my day!" yeah back in your day when you had to buy little cards just to save your game, if the game was broken tough shit as no patches or bug fixes for you! Can't search youtube for gameplay and had to trust journalists ... Driv3rgate anyone?
I know I know, you are both probably 23 and think that means you are now old... To which I say BS. If you think today is worse the height of ps2 and wii crapshoot of games you are an idiot. I mean look at all the Ubiplay shit on the DS aimed at girls and kids? What about all those MAry Kate and Ashley games... Yes multiple. You think Winners Circle on the game boy is a hidden gem?
Awaken life mate. The offspring brings forth tribute.
did you have to call out kongs top-surgery scars in the thumbnail?
2024 has to be one of my most observed terrible launch/just bad games year. With games like Gollum and Kong taking the cake with devs that made poor choices. Also City skylines 2 launch with tons of issues. And not even to the fact that the asset flip and awful porn games rapidly consuming steams library where if your like me with the que cleared you’d find it hard to find even a decent made recent game.
its just signs of the next major videogame crash... maybe it'll clear out some of the garbage companies to make way for decent ones
I'm pretty sure it's 2023.
I think. I can't keep track of time anymore.
@@theonlybilgeim like 90% sure its 2025 rn dude are u sure
I used to use Markiplier as an auxiliary vetting system but now that he pretty much only plays horror games I’m in the same boat 😔
2024? weve gotten some gold so far; i mean, everyone's obsessed with palworld rn
Rise of Kong is a masterpiece I will not hear otherwise.
What happened to the Knights of pen and paper series is exactly why the insult "I hope your hobby attracts mainstream audiences" is one.
wow Knights of Pen and Paper jumped out at me too
Just a question but do you have an ETA on the Alan Wake 2 vid?
I'll probably start working on it after I finish The Witcher video. I want to let the game sit for a bit before I start dissecting it. Probably January or February.
@@YourFavoriteSon1 January 27th is my birthday
I hope the devs of Skull Island didn't pay for any licensing fees.
King Kong entered public domain years ago.
Actually, while King Kong is, himself, public domain, that's because the copyright on the original novelisation expired in the 60s. Crucially, any elements that were renamed in the original film are not public domain, and that includes Skull Island.
Spent over 5 hours on the current fall sale sifting thru genres I like just to find some good stuff. I usually get lucky and enjoy most of what I purchase but there has also been tons of trash I have purchased as well.
Love how fair you are in these videos.
Sondays are strawberry sondea days.
Also son, did you look into Binary Domain?
Haven't checked it out yet, too many games lol
@@YourFavoriteSon1 oh I didn't mean playing or even trying, I meant checking out what it is, games like that or vanquish belong to that genre of japanese 3rd persons that really do well at exploring certain non standard ideas in a genre that at the time at least was full of cover shooters and gears clones.
Take care son, can't wait for the witcher videos to come out.
Moving backwards in My Riding Stables, looks like he is trying to do a moonwalk 😂
I don't know if you'd be interested at all, but there's this awful puzzle game called Rhiannon: Curse of the Four Branches. It's on Steam right now for $5, and I've played it twice to confirm that I hate it.
Think of Myst, but set in Wales, and there's a section where you have to solve some puzzles with homeopathy. It's just dumb and disappointing.
I have sifted through almost 90k steam games….and almost 100% of them are so bad its not even funny.
bruh wheres that song from playing at 14:10 it's driving me insane cuz i cant figure it out
nvm just realized it't silent hill
34:02 Damn! I thought this game was one of those ugly ass 90s-2000 first 3d animated series where the characters look bad as hell and there where no lightning at all, so everything looked overly dark and plain
about skull island: rise of kong, i didnt saw too much gameplay of it but everything the playable character does, from the walking, to the attacks, all seem to be taken straight out of the hulk game from 2003.
Kong is definitely game of all time
I cant wait to hear your thoughts on the ending of the man who erased his name
In the Kong game there is literally a part of a cutscene which is an unformatted still frame of a boss monster so badly composited you can see the landscape (and the boss) behind it! That’s a new level of bad…
6:12 how does a a publisher an developer keep changing? Did the devs lose the IP to paradox, and Galaxy is technically seperate?
i love this type of vids! Steam has so many "games" on it, that is incredible, is like the same population on humans on earth , Steam has it on games
ps: love the Tekken 4 soundtrack at the background
Just when we needed you most
I like Revolution 60, the style reminds me of “Code Lyoko”
29:11 just so everyone knows midnight works bought this game. Then released it under the same name. They released this on PS5 and bought out several games like animalistic hooligan simulator among others and are putting it on ps5 as well. LIKE MY FAV SON SAID JUST DONT BUY.
Thank you for another banger video son
Hey, are you going to cover the new like a dragon yakuza games?
KoP&P2 was like one of my fav games I played ever. Simple but engaging, humorous (I did like the references). It's really sad that they took all bad parts and ran with it...
23:05
that does licensed games of that era a disservice, at least they had the potential to be fun
Knights of Pen and Paper and the sci-fi version I loved! I can see though how the concept would run out of steam fast
why the hell Alan Wake Soundtrack: 04 - Petri Alanko - The Clicker is playing realy silent in the background ?
Imagine "My riding stables" being someone's first "chill farming simulation" game and then he never picks up Stardew Valley because of how terrible it was.
Knights of Pen and Paper were such good mobile games... What happened?
I kinda like Revolution 60's visual, it would have been fitting for a weird y2k horror ish experimental game
That Hacker.exe game needs a photosensitivity warning IMHO.
omg the motion blur in that game "WAT?" was INSANE. It's such a disgusting effect, I don't understand why it's a thing.
Hey for the second game it kind of looks like it took a lot of stuff from Star Stable Online. If anyone here wants a horse game that’s infinitely better I recommend SSO! It’s So fun and has way more to do + it’s open world and I’ve been playing since I was 8 :). They’ve updated many times and so it’s more modern and has better horse models/animations. It also has magic horses that get released for special events you can buy and competitions you can compete in with over 30 players :>
lol @ grandpa getting charges for collecting rain water. Guess grandpa needs to invest in better camo for his water-bootlegging still.
Son, take some time and play a good game after all this. But I'm very proud of you for playing these
24:50 It was made in a year apparently... Also I plan to buy a copy of this and gollum for one of my friends birthdays
Why do you hate your friend so much
@@inalienswetrust4220 Imma get them real gifts, but they know I plan to get this for them. They told me if I did get them this they'll come over to my house and beat me up & find a way to destroy the game key.
Thanks for the video :)
10:57 logic would say that you have to put the horse on the circle and follow it.
HAHAHA I had to pause the video because I couldn't handle the opening menu of Legends of Persia. WTF!
"Hidden travesties" - almost. We call them "hidden phlegms". Well, I do, but now you can, too!
DGU actually looks pretty cute! It’s sort of like Yandere Simulator without all the ick.
Revolution 60 is really nostalgic for me? It looks like its heavily inspired by the look of the old REBOOT cg cartoon series.
Which was primitive as hell and was the first full cg animated show, so it looks like absolute garbage, iconic but still like CG cave paintings
I’m glad you did another
15 seconds in and all I can think is "Oh, Paradox, we loved you once."
I have two daughters didnt even know i also had a son and wow he is my favorite. Great video!
37:10 ironically the visuals are the only thing about that game that has any value imo. It's so weird and unique that it just loops back into being that memorable kind of bad. That plastic shaded flat look with over-saturated colors kind of looks like that "ReBoot" show from the 90s and I'm all about it
Please make this a new series
My thoughts on this entry in the series: Have a good road!
do i hear legacy of kain theme
Are ya winning, son? 🤠👍
Kong Skull Island reminds me of the werehog setions in Sonic Unleashed. That is not a good thing.
Son, echoing what others have said - as interesting and well made as these dives are, make sure for moderation and breaks for fun between these.
Also as others have said, I was not ready to see knights of pen and paper 3 here. I have good memories of playing the first one some years ago now... I can't say I'm surprised it could go the way it did, but certainly disappointed to find out.
While I am disappointed, I'm honestly not surprised. There were two different versions of knights of pen and paper 2, at least on Android. One was paid and the other was add supported with IAPs. I believe the paid version got quietly delisted with a "remove adds" microtransaction put into the fremium version as a replacement. They tried going back to the buy to play model with Galaxy but they found there was more money in nickel and diming the whales than there was in actually creating a good game. Imho Galaxy of pen and paper was the last half decent one, and even then, 1 and 2 still beat the crap out of it for most fans, myself included. I didn't even know 3 existed until today.
The original going up looks pretty detailed
Sad to see that first game be part of a series that degraded in quality, though I should definitely play the first game. That seems like the most polished and inviting by far (unlike the third game, which is the exact opposite from what I’ve seen)
I knew Skull Island: Rise of Kong was gonna be on here
Son, I don't know how to tell you this. I was never your dad. I was your mother this whole time
I love how bad the graphics are for Revolution 60.
Kyy in Finnish means Viper and there's a snake in that logo. Just wanted to leave this small bit of info here.
In one of your previous videos, do you really believe Uriel's Chasm isn't worthy of its reputation and you do you actually defend it?
4:30 how does such a small game change devs?
0:59 Wasn't CoD: Modern Warfare II received well enough? Or do its reviews suck now, because MWIII is DLC for it, so by default all MWIII reviews end up under MWII?
Mw3 is a separate game from mw2, mw2 has around a 16% on steam and mw3 has a 27%
@@101lwx How the heck does the recent MWIII have better reviews than MWII?
OK quick look and it seems I was right, they are review bombing MWII, because of MWIII. Yet MWIII on Steam has better reviews somehow, lol.
On consoles at least, MWIII is listed as a DLC addon for MWII.
@@EarthboundXoh really?? I had no idea it was listed like that on console I guess that's cause of the call of duty hub stuff they're doing
I'm an artist and it would take me a long time to make those pixel graphics in knights of pen 3, so kinda sad to see you call it generic and bland. Also they animated enemies which is also cool and takes a long time
Also an artist, uh, unfortunately, art taking a long time to produce doesn't always translate to better quality, and that's sorta the case there.
Also yeah, it's animated, but from the looks of it, appears to be produced using mostly puppet translation, which wouldn't take someone who's experienced with it as long as traditional animation would.
