Balan Wonderworld: The Complete Run 

Give us a balan speedrun

hoi

@@beanz6151 speedy cheata

You asked for what transformers the bulldozer ability reminded you of around 40:15 that was the Constructicons if I recall and the one with the Bull Dozer as an alt mode his name is Scrapper.

Balan wonder world speedrun glitchless is impossible

They could've made a movie with those cutscenes, but they made a videogame instead

I believe a different studio did the cgi cutscenes

@@Birdyboys Square Enix did the CGi cutscenes in an attempt to give SOME context to the game's story, only the motion capture dance scenes were from Balan Studio. So basically these film tier cutscnes weren't even gonna be IN the game at first.

@@stephanos6128 Neat

@@stephanos6128 oh I’m well aware! Shame such talent was wasted on this game

he always was fight me

YOURE SO RIGHT

He isnt lyin 😈

@@Courteanna He isnt, and it makes it WAY worse

Timestamp?

And just too big of ambitions.

Exactly

Not even close lmaooooooo the head guy admitted he had no clue what he was doing

@@dmdudes2 oof

But they knew how to make OK cut scenes

No control. Only chaos.

@@SquallyCoin5664 ha nice 1

​@@colehuiet4845no nice. Only chaos.

​@@evangonzalez7732no Only. *chaos.*

Lance is trying out the Chaos Emeralds he swiped.

*ST O C K H O L M*

lol CHOC FULL OF MADNESS

Funnier fact, Yuji Naka actually refused to add those cutscenes in game. Those were added after he was fired.

they couldn't just put it behind hard levels like other games, that's not painful enough

Too bad, If square had used these designs in an rpg it would have been better.

I don't feel bad. While its a shame his passion project got trashed the way it did... it was because of his misguided direction. They were debating on removing costumes to be able to reach the deadline, but for some reason they kept at it to add in all the planned costumes. Hell, outside of Balan and Lance's design, the best parts of this game were stuff he didn't have a hand in: those CGI cutscenes. That was done entirely by a different studio. Maybe he wanted to make the next Sonic game? Because those 2D games were amazing despite running on a single button. If Squsre ever decides to make Balan Wonderworld 2 without Yuji, it'd be for the better. He ruined his game because of this mindset of "children are fucking stupid" game studios are taking when making games aimed at children.

@@kyotanaka920 If there's one thing I learned is that most of these brilliant game auters are better when they don't have free reign on a project. Minamoto is great at perfecting gameplay but, he shouldn't be allowed to change the paper mario series. Just because he doesn't like rpgs mechanics doesn't mean he can ruin other people's projects. And less said of Mighty #9 the better.

The creator also made another tweet suggesting he might be considering retirement ):

@@kyotanaka920 To be fair, it was kind of doomed from the start. He was asked to make a 3D platformer, a game genre neither he nor anyone at Square Enix had any experience with, he was asked to make a compelling story for the game, which he, once again, was completely unfamiliar with, and Square Enix said this was his only chance to make a platformer for them. I think he most likely put the game to unrealistic expectations and hopes, both because of just wanting to make something grand as his return to AAA game making, and because he wanted to have Square allow him to make more platformers. It's a classic tale of devs dreaming too big with conflicting goals that they were all too nervous to cut when it became clear they weren't feasible, at least in the way they wanted. This kind of thing has happened so many times throughout all media, not just video games. Some game or movie series comes out, it does stupid well, then studios just go "Hey, you are marked as being the 'parent,' or 'main lead,' of this, so you just do everything," forgetting that massive teams go into these, leading to the person having lofty ideas and being expected to handle things they have no experience handling, all with the studio and community hyping it up because "The person who created x great thing is the head, therefore this should be great too," which is just a recipe for failure.

If you feel like being at the mercy of the game's auto camera movement, absolutely.

This is lore accurate

He's playing and Balan is pointing a gun to his head irl

"If my game you will not play, you will not live to see the next day." -Balan, probably

@@snakewithahat1588 2:13 He’s wearing this thing and pointing the cannon at his head

​@@optillian4182*wheeze*

PLS

Idk man. I’m pretty sure Square had something to do with this too

@@somethingsuperbland8829 yeah I think they hid the books or something. All I know is the book gave context and they didn't want that

@@radioactivelight2189 yeah bc it’s sabotage

And most recently, Yuji Naka getting kicked out 6 months before release

@@umi_grumz and then it was revealed Yuji Naka used his time at SE to commit corporative fraud. TWICE.

I'm at least glad that I'm not the only one who wants to save this game. I just need to, you know, learn how to make games.

Or a masochist

@@easypete7920 He's a masochist hero

@@snakewithahat1588 you basically said Apharads video title for his video of him playing Balan Wonderworld.

@@syrusgrove8682 Have you considered that it could be a coincidence?

They wernt. Best part of the game was a happy accident

They could make a movie outta those cutscenes, but they mad3 a videogame instead

They actually weren't,the cgi cutscenes were made by Square so yea if the punisher wasn't Square,there won't be any cgi cutscenes

We call it Stockholm syndrome

@@pseudo2060 POV: You are Balan's hostage and you are enjoying it

@@joanaguadomedina3060 ooooh~ harder Balan! Cover me in your terrible frame rate~!

@@jackmist 😭😭😭

@@OrigamiAhsoka 😏

Damn, didn't know a humanoid deity was relatable like that.

Highly unlikely. Square Enix only greenlit Balan Wonderworld under the strict rules that, if it failed, then it would be the first and last game of its’ kind. And clearly, it failed. So there will be no Balan Wonderworld 2. There will be no other games after this...

@@blackphoenix9000 it's almost as if a studio that mostly puts out turn based RPGs wouldn't bee good at making a 3d platformer😂😂

​@@selfloathinggameing 3d platformer RPG. HIRE ME, SQUARE, YOU COWARDS!

ikr.

Sequel/reboot?

i wish somebody takes this game and fixed it. All it needs is less costumes, actual action button, more story context, and some optimization. The potential is there, it just need someone to fix it.

The fu,l run ain't over until he reads the book

@@kyotanaka920 oh god....Hell isn't over yet....this was only limbo. Maybe the book might be descent? (I don't count on it tho)

The book is considered better then the game

​@@mlpfanboy1701THERE'S A BOOK????

@@evangonzalez7732 yeah it explains everything that happens in the game including why the Tims are important and why you're collecting heart pieces

​@@Sigismund697I'm gonna find this book, so help me God...

I believe I've seen at a GameStop for $12 though I'm sure you could find lower

They do give off NiGHTS and Reala vibes though who had their own games forever ago now

There's something about watching gamers play bad games that just makes ya wanna laugh-

To pollute

Makes you wonder which game has less problems.

Honestly, i'd probably get a refund even if it was free.

What's the first?!

@@Choctopus Your Miitopia video. I've watched it around 20 times this year, I love it so much 😁.

Morbid curiosity combined with self loathing?

Everything the game should be, is in that book.
