I started laughing uncontrollable at the Big Rigs part. "We need to go faster!" "Okay, put it in reverse. You'll go an octillion times faster than the speed of light."
I remember playing that South Park game when I was younger and being afraid to move in the very beginning because of the turkeys. Then I was stuck on one level when you have to shoot a large worm-like monster coming out of a church, i think, and kept on dying
Not a fan of you using so much spoiler-rich footage of Deadly Premonition, though. That game was a lot of fun and no matter how old, it's a shame if someone new to the game feels like the game is ruined, even slightly, because they recognize the "demon" in your footage. Small complaint, I guess, but it just seems stupid.
+Dipshit McIrishpants a game where a man from the future returns to the Middle Ages to light the black knight on fire with a futuristic flamethrower doesn't sound serious
My first game was a "shit game" in the style of a side on space shooter. You played as the head of Adam Sandler floating through space firing tins of beans out of his mouth at an army of Barbra Streisand's. You had to dodge George Foreman grills and portable DVD players.
***** Never released it, it just sits in on my development hard drive as a Unity folder. If I get back to it I'll be back with a link, maybe it'd make a good mobile game, come to think of it I did recently purchase a great mobile control kit for Unity. Hmmmm...
***** Hell maybe this is my big break! I have another project I did in my final year at uni, a mario style post apocalyptic platformer, I need to get this shit on Google Play!
TimeSplitters didn't really do famous battles or bringing futuristic weapons to past environments. Everything was of-the-period. If you found yourself in prohibition-era Chicago, you'd fight with sawed-offs and Tommy guns. If you found yourself in modern-day Siberia you'd fight with top-of-the-line sniper rifles, 12-Gauges and flamethrowers. And if you went to the distant future, you'd fight with handguns that shoot bouncy lasers all over the place. Ah, such chaotic fun, even if the Scifi Handgun wasn't the most effective weapon. But hey, at least it's not the utterly atrocious Laser Gun. That thing is about as clunky to fire as Star Fox Zero is to control
Engines equipped with quantum phasing molecular mechanics to pass through solid objects so as not to interrupt the racing experience. Nothing stands in your way when your......BIG RIGS!
thats rly bad indeed... but I see no awesomeness here... I think it´s just terrible and tottaly fails as a game in general. after seeing all the bugs for a couple laughs theres no point in playing that shit o_0 only thing awesome about it was the avgn episode (especially the fake commercial) and that was because of the nerd, not the game ;->
100% agree. I thought it was fun. Im sure it doesn't hold up well, but 3 generations of removal will do that. Also, it had the feature where you could piss on your snowball.
It's not but there is no way a pinball game beats an adventure FPS so the pinball game can take 3rd place, the N64 South park gets 2nd, when "The Fractured But Whole" comes out it'll take 3rd.
This was one of my first pc games I played on an overpriced year 2000 or pre laptop toshiba that barely played it with low frame rate. this game was bad ass online. I used to glitch through the fence and shoot people
Was literally about to say the same thing. It's true that it's graphics are shit and the story is hard to get through if you don't want to do it. But I'd say it's more than worth it if you can. Deadly Prem is one of my favorite games now. I also don't think it needed to be right behind Big rigs :p. They had interesting ideas for terrible games then just went for the obvious "gimme"
Yang Shen exactly, one of my all time favorites, the story is so so so good, great soundtrack and relaxing locations, and yeah, it doesnt deserve a second place in this list, i mean, its even considered a game as an art form!
I agree, I completed it fully (all trophies even) and I won't deny it, it's actually great. Don't get me wrong it's a totally weird game that makes you think "wtf" a lot but when all ends you go "that was actually good, is there a sequel?". Still waiting for that sequel by the way.
***** I loved it but I don't want a sequel. Then you'll get those franchises that wont die even though they are begging for it. Also the ending kinda stops the option for a valid sequel.
LSD Dream Emulator looks like an absolutely amazing game, I'd love to see it remade for today's computers and gaming systems, that could be an unbelievably brilliant game if done correctly, the idea of dreams/psychedelic experiences could provide next level worlds and visuals, if a great story was behind it, it could be something amazing yet something almost completely unique too!
Here's a fun fact about Two Worlds: once you get past the Obligatory Starting Village, you can completely ignore the main plotline. There's a guy waiting for you just outside of town, and as long as you don't get too close to him the story doesn't advance. You're free to explore the entire game, doing nothing but side quests.
God lord, did you have to spoil Deadly Premonition so hard? The game's plot is genuinely enjoyable. You didn't spoil the rest of the games. Deadly Premonition is a murder mystery and you flat out showed all of the stages of the final boss fight.
But he ever said that’s the final boss so anyone who hadn’t played it wouldn’t know that so I think you spoiled the game more than anyone here... also if this sounded kinda rude wasn’t trying to just joking about
Wha... how... whoa!? You actually sang Pendulum's "Through the loop"? There's no earthly way of knowing, Which direction we are going, There's no knowing where we're rowing, Or which way the river's flowing, Is it raining? Is it snowing? Is a hurricane a-blowing? Not a speck of light is showing so the danger must be growing, Are the fires of hell A-glowing? Is the grisly reaper mowing? YES! The danger must be growing, for the rowers keep on rowing, And they're certainly not showing, any signs that they are slowing!
I still have the South Park turkey sound vividly in my mind. Sometimes I use it to mimic a turkey, or a group of loud talking females. Collegues must think I'm mentally ill...
The multi player in that southpark game was awesome. It had tons of characters to choose from with different abilities but not every character was unlocked, you had to play the game to unlock them all
thats Deacon Stone, the most badass jawa that ever lived, the only one to ever fly into the deep cosmos and find the other side. (wtf am I talking about, that isnt even a jawa, jfc my mind can make a story out of a face.)
+Fat Crackhead me too! I love it! and still play it! no joke! I still got my little PS1damn! I still play Metal Slug 1-3 too! I'm feeling nostalgic right now!!
The thing about Shower With Your Dad Simulator 2015: Do You Still Shower With Your Dad? is that it was never built to be a cynical "Simulator" game that so many "developers" shovel onto Steam like so much triceratops cack. It was built from the ground up to be a total mickey-take on the entire premise, and didn't build itself up as a one-note joke. You had flying bathtub segments, moments with dad ninjas, and so much else besides. Basically, it's very easily comparable with The Stanley Parable
Two Worlds is actually really really really fun. If you have the Xbox360 version, be sure to turn off grass and shadows if you want a reasonable frame rate. The game itself isn't bad, but there are some features that make it better than average. The dodge button makes you rapidly jump backwards. It makes it possible to fight enemies that are well beyond your level. The customizable weapons are essentially infinitely stackable. The game has a spell that allows you to resurrect any character in the entire game. A whole village gets destroyed? Cast the spell and everyone comes back friendly. 50 cent: BotS is just a legit good game
4:35 Hey! I played that game when I was... 5? 7? I can't remember. I thought I looked a lot better then this though... Then again I was super young and I only played as Kenny.
That's something you wouldn't know if you'd only played single player. Locking onto an enemy's head in multi treats 'em to an inside view of a cow's anus.
Yeah, it was a legit good game. The people who didn't like it sucked at it... Every complaint I have heard is they couldn't get past a certain level. For some it was the alien ship level, others it was the final boss ultra mega mega-man.
how is southpark bad? its close to the series, especially for its time, it has 2nd fire mode with every weapon and a great story (soutpark story)....wtf?
Limaksaurus Xd Why did you tell yourself to "fuck off"? (It doesn't show you talking to anyone on my screen so it looks like you're insulting yourself)
00:07 Some video games are so bad that they become entertaining. 01:04 Games that are so bad they're awesome 02:05 Early 90s digitized games graphics 03:05 Oblivion clone with abysmal voice acting and game-breaking bugs 04:02 South Park shooter game with unique humor 05:30 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand is surprisingly entertaining 06:35 Deadly Premonition is a unique gaming experience 07:41 Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing is infamous for its absurd gameplay mechanics and glitches.
Growing up, I loved south park. Killing evil turkeys (not the jive type) with snowballs was fun... Back when my ps1 was new and I had yet to play metal gear solid, tomba, oddworld, discworld, and chrono trigger. Yup. Before I knew what good games on ps1 were
That's my point. The game haves terrible game breaking glitches, weird physics, and it was made with by a not-to-professional team. The game is, what would be considered in today's gaming standards, absolutely unplayable. And we all love it like that. I never get tired of playing it.
+Alex Healy watch NerdCubed's complete series on that game. He goes in with good memories and enjoys it at the start. By the end..........oh by the end it's one of his most hated games, it's an amazing transformation to watch. The moment he realised its not as good as he remembers is when he notices it's not an "open world" game.
Before watching this channel I thought I was the only one crazy enough to have enjoyed Deadly Premonitions. I miss that game, yet probably best I keep it tucked away as a strangely fond memory.
I actually played Two Worlds back when it was still new, and let me tell you it was anything but pleasant. Where the game was enjoyable at first to explore around and such, it was shoddy but charming. After a month or so post-launch, people started making these things called "Unicorn Potions" which were made from 10 Unicorn Horns, which were extremely rare (key word, 'were'). Using just one would permanently boost your character's stats to be several levels above what it was. People used a duplication glitch on these Unicorn Horns/Potions to become so goddamned powerful they were literally untouchable. Not to mention there would be scams left and right to trick those whom lusted for such power out of their rarest items, so of course people got screwed over, but that's the price of reckless greed. Greed literally ruled the game, there wasn't even any reason to quest when you could just make yourself out like a clown to impress a glitcher to be rewarded with Unicorn Potions, or otherwise had friends that did. But it wasn't just an Oblivion clone by environment, even the 'saves' took a little snapshot of your game state like Elder Scrolls did. ....And somehow they managed to make a sequel to the game, Two Worlds 2. No idea how good or bad it turned out though.
Being a huge horror survival fan, Deadly Premonition is one of the best games I ever played. The show it is based off of is amazing too, Twin Peaks. It also gives you a handgun with infinite ammo.
The South Park game was actually pretty cool, but it was for the fans and remember the date it was released. I really liked it. It took a different stance, just like the show. Looking back, you can comment on it negatively, but the day it was released, for a fan, it was pretty fun. That Bear driving the car with one hand looks like an AMAZING idea, I will close this window and look for it.
As soon as scssoft made 18 wheels of steel, the game started to become more structurally integeral, leading into one of the best trucking games of all time, euro truck sim
I rented South Park way back when, and it was AWESOME. My favorite weapons were the Cow Launcher and the Alien Device. Get a headshot with the former and the cow land butt first on their head, blinding them for a few seconds. The later made them sing and dance lol
If you didn't play South Park on multiplayer in the UFO and spam a first time player with the piranha/laser gun and watch them freak out while dozens of pink lasers bounce around while in near zero gravity... Did you really even enjoy your N64..?!
One of my favourite "bad games that are so bad they're awesome" has to be Conker's bad fur day, even though I don't consider it bad, more like just so weird it's actually good, the game is just so weird and bizarre and it controls really awkwardly but once you get used to the controls the game is just I don't know very, very weird, I don't ever think that they'll make another game like that again.
Timesplitters: "You are an unnamed scientist with a hidden past who's been brought on to advance a secret time travel project." That's the backstory. It's an FPS with some interesting time manipulation powers, but the actual FPS elements and story are... how do I put this lightly... Abominable?
I realize that the game in question came out recently, but Maize. The game is on Steam and the plot is basically this: a missinnterpreted government memo leads to the creation of sentient corn. Believe it or not, the game gets even more insane from there, aside from the utterly insane plot it's a fairly easy adventure game that never takes itself seriously.
When I was younger and asked for a Nintendo 64 for Christmas back in the day, I originally asked for South Park. At the last minute, I changed my mind and asked for Diddy Kong Racing instead. Needless to say it was a great decision.
loved the references. especially that Charlie and the chocolate factory boat song. well done, you make it sound even creepier then when gene wilder first sang it.
WWE Crush Hour should've made this list. The controls suck, the Jim Ross commentary is laughably robotic and dead, the single-player mode is awful, and the concept itself is beyond stupid. Yet it's multiplayer mode is surprisingly fun and addicting, making it the perfect game to play with your friends if you're all stoned or something.
Dantel: AUUUUGH!! (evil spirits released) Hitler: Thank you, mein freund, I thought I'd be stuck in Dantel forever with Stalin's bad cooking, and Pol Pot's hideous poetry. Pol Pot: Hitler you fiend! You told me my poetry was wonderful! Mussolini: MY HEAD IS EVEN MORE BEAUTIFUL AS A SPIRIT!!!
Deadly Premonition was fantastic and I praised it for being "terrible" whenever I tell people about it but thats because I originally thought the game was a satire of old horror games. I never realized it was actually bad.
This list is my jam man. Adore it all. Deadly premonition is like my fave game ever after the first silent hills it's really not even comparable though. It's my number one on a list of its own. There is so much going on in that game. It's way out there but can get really creepy and it's quirky as hell and wow just took me to another planet. Never wanted it to end. So charming and surreal and intriguing and strange and funny.
I kinda want to play 50 Cent: Blood On The Sand. It looks kind of fun somehow, plus i want to see if Eminem has a cameo like he did in 50 Cent: Bulletproof for the PSP.
Two Worlds 2 has been long out. I tried to do a Let's Play but even on the easiest difficulty, the only strategy is to hit'n'run, or be an archer, which also doesn't work out too well if you miss ever.
