101 in 1 is actually one of the worst games of all time according to metacritic. Good on atlus for having variety with their achievements, got persona 5 royal in the top 100 games of all time and 101 on the other end.
@@cliffturbo2146 fair. i only really have casual knowledge of persona 3, especially compared to 5, but 5 dancing is nowhere near as good as 3. atlus either should have waited for royal, or made 3 and 5 dancing the one game.
@@ant9027 There were sources that says that Atlus could had made them into one game. But yes, if there aren't many musics yet, then they could had waited.
I honestly don't think it's anywhere near as bad as the others listed, but still, if you can put up with Monster Hunter and Dynasty Warriors, then World Mode gives you your money's worth... Or because lawyers say you can't get it for money anymore, then, your piracy's worth... But then again, the legally available PS4 ones are definitely an upgrade... I say this even though I haven't played them yet.
@@FromBeyondTheGrave1 ...except he did say on the start that the list is about, and i quote, "the worst possible games _either developed or published by Atlus",_ sooo
So, it's all possible enough for a Sonic/Attack on Titan Collab to happen, all thanks to the people who brought us Shin Megami Tensei, Persona and stuff. And of course, we need to see Bryce Papenbrook as Good!Eren and Silver talking in a Bar too.
While not a bad game, there's a VERY obscure PS1 Horror game published by Atlus only in JP and PAL regions. It's called Hellnight (Dark Messiah in JP). It's really hard to get your hands on, even in ISO/ROM form, but if you can, it's fascinating. The art team that made it also did a lot of the art for Persona 1 iirc, though I'm pretty sure they went uncredited. The monster design is very reminiscent, though.
@@jinhunterslay1638 TL;DP it's a First Person Amnesia-style Horror Game. The conceit is that you're taking a subway train in Tokyo after a run-in with some Y2K nuts (the game was made in 1999), and the train suddenly derails when it hits a man on the tracks. The man turns out to be some sort of escaped test subject, and morphs into a skeletal monster that chases you through the subway and connected sewers. You find refuge in a hidden community in an underground city called the Tokyo Mesh, a world of social outcasts, on-the-run criminals, and other odd folks. The game eventually evolves, as well as the monster, into an exploration of a 90's Japan take on HP Lovecraft, with elements of non-euclidean space, and a global conspiracy. It's one of the most compelling hidden gems I've ever had the pleasure of playing.
Europe got the game thanks to Konami Localising and Publishing it. See also another Atlus game call Road Rage 3 on PS2 that was published by Phoenix games in PAL regions.
@@giantdad1661 The team, Dennou-Eizou, was not credited for the work on Persona 1, though the individual members were, iirc. The team was still together, though, and wound up making an RPG for the Dreamcast called DeSpiria. It's very reminiscent of SMT's monster catching motif. I believe they were responsible for a lot of the 3D renders.
@@Mehstatus Bruuh I remember those commercials. They were running for years straight it was crazy. I probably stopped watching TV before they stopped running and I haven't watched TV in years.
I finished that game... Like... its performance is fucking horrible but if you can get past that... and the wierd controls and.some wierd gameplay decisions.... it has some potential behind it. Its a bad game but its not the worst
@@sethdeath888 I saw it at one of the awful games done quick and thought it was pretty hilarious that like pulling up the map was used to increase fps. Im sure its probably a pretty cool game performance aside.
Let the purists talk. They're screaming into the void. It's not the games' fault they appeal more to the majority. Best to leave them in their little echo chambers to drown in their own piss, shit and tears
101-in-1 (Wii version) remained one of Atlus USA's top-selling games for years precisely *because* it was garbage shovelware with no niche. There was made a deal with QVC to sell a Wii+101 bundle on live tv that made record sales numbers (for them, so we're talking in the 100k+ range), and because it wasn't threateningly demonic even Wal-Mart was willing to stock it. This, in addition to usually non-gaming department stores looking for Wii games to sell, led to 101 getting on more shelves and into more hands than any other Atlus-published game before. This is the quintessential "Grandma bought this for Xmas, bless her for trying" game. It's cheap, it's very bad, and the concept is only interesting to those who have no frame of reference to what determines quality in games. To reiterate: it's an awful, awful "game" compilation. Don't go looking for it or the sequel (Sports Megamix) or the DS games trying to discover a hidden gem, because it really is just terrible. But it did sell like no other game because of the Wii bubble and getting into the awareness of first-time system buyers and the non-"gamer" audience.
It was a European developed game that Atlus in the US published it wasn't published by Altlus in any other region than US. Also the DS original was pretty much done all by a single person as well. I doubt many other DS games are like that.
@@WraxTV Those 50 movie ones take less effort to make though since everything already finished to begin with.There also a US only thing since most places in the world you cant sell movies with a unrated version and it costs money to rate them.
There's also: Jump Super Stars/Jump Ultimate Stars on NDS X-Men Konami Arcade Simpsons Konami Arcade Every X-Men/Marvel game put out by Capcom Actually most Capcom licensed games are good, even Harvey Birdman was good Licensed games can definitely be good, it's just a matter of whether the developers care to make it good or the developers are given enough time to make it good. I'd imagine a lot of licensed games are on a time-table to get them out to coincident with the release of a movie/TV series and that's a part of why they tend to be bad even from good developers.
@@WraxTV Not sure if this fit into what you already listed, but X-Men Legends was pretty cool despite its rather simple gameplay. The early Playstation/Playstation 2 Spider-man games as well as the new Insomniac one were pretty great as well
Humanity in Chains was a game I unironically liked when it released, played it recently and I suddenly knew exactly why the infinitely better sequel "Future Coordinates" never got localised
I remember the hype behind that 3DS attack on titan game. There was already a fantastic online fan game on PC and everyone thought the official game would be just as good. Urgh nope
Virtual Hydlide, despite having being overall a bad experience, is not entirely a terrible game. At least it has a unique gameplay experience that prevents you to enjoy the same gameplay twice... which adds some uniqueness in a way.
Watch his Megaten tierlist, he only disliked 3 and 5 dancing for their scummy DLC and sales practices, he actually put P4D on the same tier as Persona 5. There is no excuse for Star Fox.
@@chromefunction6567 why because of the controls? Literally I can't think of anything they could've done to make a better starfox game. (Maybe running sections like in assault). Go watch The Completionists video on it
@@clashmanthethird Makes sense. Those games are nice but atlus can't stop shoving their annoying business practices in them. Even getting the full collection of games doesn't give you any of the dlc.
@@RaidenTheRipper88 They are fun if you're a fan. But it has way too many scummy dlcs. They are dirt cheap, but dividing your game in parts isn't good advertisement.
You start to understand how wretched this platform is when the name of the virus, that's getting in the way of everyone's lives, is banned. Like people who earn a living from content creation on youtube must fell like slaves sometimes.
@Manek Iridius RU-vid is bad though. It's already hard to monetize for good content creators. Censoring speech on a central issue in people's lives surely isn't a good thing. If only we could get people really on board for an alternative. Using RU-vid is just convenience at this point.
@@Koyomi_xiv 14:52 when he has to put a fucking virus to the same level as the name of a god (Its the same sound used when characters say YHVH's name in apocalypse) you know youtube's stupid.
I'm pretty new to the fandom, so I'm not sure if I've earned my right to have an opinion here yet, but I feel like persona 4 and 5 get a lot of shit. The stories might have issues but the gameplay is solid and case persona 4 wasn't even that anime that was golden that did it.
You're completely in the right. The ragging on P4/P5 is from mostly salty SMT fans upset because of the game's popularity, it's best to just ignore those people.
R.I.P.D actually became a cult classic later on (I even feel this deserved better reviews) but honestly Atlus really dropped the ball on this. They should have made it an action adventure game with many missions related to arresting or killing souls of the damned
Holy shit I remember watching ripd a few times as a kid with my neighbours kid who was 2 or 3 years older than me and I remember both of us enjoying it but I totally forgot about it I should go back and watch it again see what my shitty taste was like as a kid thanks for reminding me dude lmao
I have heard of Stella Glow, and I agree it was an absolute delight to play! It’s not a perfect game by any means, but it’s certainly one of Atlus’s underrated gems. It’s nice to see someone else who’s heard of it
wow... so my first Atlus game is "my disney kitchen" XD lol i mean i enjoy it when i was a kid, but i never thought it would be atlus that published this game
Holy crap I forgot about the RIPD movie, I saw a tiny bit of it when it can out on dvd and my high school girlfriends parents where watching it....for what I saw it was bad....but the game looks horrid...
I actually had a bit of fun with AOT chains of humanity when it came out; sure it had it’s problems with the janky camera angles and limited gameplay, but it definitely provided a challenge when it came to the various missions you took. I do felt like they could have implemented more stuff with character customization and the story campaign, ‘cause there were some missions where you actually get fight along side the main characters. Waste that it was only for the multiplayer mode.
I actually really liked 101 in 1 when I was younger. I thought the artstyle was unique. I had some favourite minigames, like the one where you're a man in a rabbit suit escaping from an elevator or the one where you play as Cupid.
People that say Persona 4 sucks are just... Why. Even if you don't like it, the story is consistent. It doesn't drag too much. The combat is enjoyable, especially in comparison to Persona 3's. Y'know. The game held in such high esteem. No diss to P3.
Surprised you didn't mention Ronde, considering it was a spinoff of the SMT series. It may not be as bad, but it has pedigree in a way that the three mentioned here don't.
lol I remember playing RIPD on PS3 a long time ago, I think it was just a demo. I don't remember it running that badly on PS3, but I also remember being thoroughly unimpressed with the gameplay. Had no idea Atlus was responsible, which I guess goes to show how proud of it they were.
I feel like the zombies was a last second decision to capitalize on the zombie craze as for "zombies", they handled a slew of weapons just fine to fight back.
Wanted to point out with AoT I think it would have been fair to mention this was developed by spikechunsoft and not Atlus...oh yeah and buy p3/5d you coward the games are dirt cheap!!
Spencer Pressly It’s still insulting because it’s Spike Chunsoft and Atlus two companies who made two of the greatest series of all time. Danganronpa and Persona. So the AoT game is no excuse.
I do legit think SMT IV A is a terrible game full of retcons to the original game's story i really loved and a very shitty plot that has sudden deus ex machina moments and im not even gonna talk about the beach episode dlc that is just... uuugh why?.... the gameplay is something we have already seen in the original SMT IV just with some minor changes that make almost no difference not to mention the neutral ending that goes back on the core message of the series by clearly making God a mustache twerling attention seeking bad guy... the good neutral path feels so much like a chaos ending with some happy dappu shit at the end
Listen, My Disney Kitchen is a CLASSIC. legit I would be SO HYPE to play that at my friend's house when we were kids! Pizza and pickle smoothies?! HEEEELL YEAH
@@OnDavidsBrain This was super common in the 8 bit and 16 bit console era to happen to games mostly to Japanese games but some time i happened with western games getting re skined for japan. See kemco in the 8 bit and 16 biit era for the worst offenders of this.
SMT4 Apocalypse is dope, 4 fixed all my annoyances with Nocturne and Apocalypse fixed all my annoyances with 4. Story might not be as good but the gameplay is excellent and it has Dagda
The original English release of Persona is pretty bad. Terrible voice acting and the Snow Queen Quest, which makes up a third of the game, was cut entirely. And RIPD is just a reskin of a game called God Mode made by a now defunct team called Old School Games. It uses the same engine with zero in the way of optimization and is just as brainless an experience. It's also no longer available for purchase.
I wanted to buy P3D, but 60 dollars is way too much. Although at the moment I am writing this comment, both P3D and P5D are 14.99 each, so I think that's a fair price.
I kinda liked RIPD and am always in the market for a brainless (ha!) zombie vs shotgun meatgrinder but hearing that it had an ass framerate and bad optimisation just hurts.
oh god 101 in 1 megamix i know that game it's made by nordcurrent why do i know them? it's because they are from Lithuania which is where i'm from and belive me no one likes them they are horrible it really dosn't help the Lithuanian game market thankfully human fall flat (yes it's a lithuanian game) is a step in the right direction probably games will be made more in Lithuania
I hate to say it but I would never be interested in Attack on Titan video games to begin with. I watched the first season of the anime, and while I liked it, I didn’t think it was that great tbh. I’m happy others love it so much, but it’s just not for me. Anyway dumb request but have you ever considered doing a list of your guilty pleasure video games? Maybe not from Atlus, as there are only a few games they’ve made that seem to be guilty pleasure material. But games that fit into that for me are games like the Hyperdimension Neptunia games lol. Have you considered making a list like that?
the way i do have the snk game... imo it was really good and the missions had me hooked till they got hard/impossible to beat because of the high level (my character was ripped doe), its so damn funny to see you shit on it LMFAO
Didn't Atlus publish an awful Game of Thrones game in the heyday of that show's popularity? I fondly remember seeing that logo on the box and going "huh."
Who the hell doesn't like Persons 4 and 5 let alone say they're the worse lmao? I've literally never heard anyone state that unless its the snowflakes triggered by fictional characters
