I cannot believe that we live in a universe where Death Stranding is on Dunkey’s list for the year. This makes it the first strand-type best of list we have ever seen
@@skateplays8880 monster hunter rise isn’t a Nintendo game it’s not even Nintendo exclusive (it’s on pc) it was just put on the switch because the switch had no monster hunter games
@@Mruck_Trop Oh man I loved it, but I knew what it was getting into it. And I also totally get why so many people dislike it; it has completely different hooks that most gamers are looking for. It's all about the exploration, vibe, and planning, and takes its time. The beautiful views, the music, the atmosphere, that feeling of lonely adventure. On the other hand, the combat sucks, the story is good but inconsistent (and hidden behind mountains of expositional text), and "survival"/realism elements in games are always *super* tedious for the people that aren't into those features.
Penguin Monk, I gotta be honest with you here. You're right. I think one of the coolest parts of Dunkey's videos is his immense ability to subvert his true thoughts, beliefs and intentions with, as you say, engrossing, rich commentary that you normally couldn't find anywhere else. Dunkey's videos all sort of have an inexplicable charm to them - a format, you could say - that can so easily reel you in as if you were navigating through a catalog of your own subconscious. I.e., he strikes exactly where he knows you're going to be enticed and where you're finally going to feel represented, or at the very least cared for by his capabilities in the craft of coordinated cinematography and personal feelings. It really just feels like he's some sort of magician, some omniscient entity who can so beautifully give you a moment to yourself in a whimsical wonderland of love, respect, and most importantly, what a lot of people have lost during these depressing times - taste. Of all conceptualizations Dunkey understands, it's taste - he knows when he sees a good video, a good game, or a good comment. He knows when he sees a bad video, a bad game, or a bad comment. His tastes are completely, absolutely, undeniably perfected to the point of which even a long, boring rant that you think is actually agreeing with you is actually just that; SUPER MARIO BROTHERS 2 BAYBEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE GAME OF THE YEAR EVERY YEAR SUPER MARIO BROTHERS 2 TALKING ABOUT SOME SUPER MARIO BROTHERS 2 OVER HERE SUPE-
"Streets of Rage 4 is out here acting like the competition is still fierce," is such a raw, well-written praise of the game Dunkley never ceases to amaze me with his writing
Can't agree more about "It takes two", I was just looking for a coop game to play with the missus, wasn't expecting much, but we're having a total blast. Blown away by the diversity and the constant reinvention the game offers. As soon as an idea starts to get just a little bit boring, it switches things up entirely, really cool.
2:46 Dunkey never ceases to surprise me with his gaming deep cuts, seamlessly adding in the music from the Stockyard Escape stage of Abe's Odyssey over footage of The Simpsons (1991) for C64
@@XAVR_ ehh.... looking at what the c64 capable of, I can pretty confidently say that you 100% did not have that exact game on the C64. The closest beat-em-up on the c64 was "stick man punches other stick man"
He showed the arcade cabinet version which is the original version of the game. It was also ported to commodore 64, but doesn't look or play nearly as well.
6:08 Dunky the type of guy to put a game that came out in 2017 that he reviewed in 2019 at spot number 3 on his list of best 2021 games in the year 2022
People can have different opinions and should try to respect them. Dunkey might think Waaahhh ia better than Beeehhh and there’s nothing wrong with that. But than again, Dunkey is nitpicking and biased, I win, bye bye
Dunkey fake became a content creator, made viral content to prove the system basically only rewards dumb fuck content, and then returned to making actual content
Honestly, it's one of my favorites. Somehow the huge dead open world with repetitive missions felt a lot better than most huge dead open worlds. I'm looking at you ubisoft. Kojima you're crazy for this one. But I don't disagree at all with anyone who says they hated it. I don't think I would recommend it to many people at all, but it was sorta my zen relaxing game for a while. except when you fall down a mountain or something.
@@amso7169 Exactly. Checkmate. Game, set, match. That's all, folks. Arrivederci. Ciao. Requiescat in pace. Sayonara. Hasta la vista, baby. Bon voyage. Auf wiedersehen. Adieu.
@@DanielRomero-xd8kw It's spanish and it means "Until I see you again", Arrivederci is basically the same, goodbye. Requiescat in pace is Rest in Peace. Everything else Sean Kane said is some form of Goodbye.
Back when his Bowser’s Fury review came out, he said it would be the best game of 2021. Dunkey proving yet again that he is an omnipresent being that can see into the future of the video games
Ikr Dunkey is galaxy brain. I mean, it obviously wouldn’t be an insane prediction if the guy that made his bowsers fury review and this video were the same person…..wait a minute
I have an annual tradition of playing whichever game you think is best each year. Just watched the video so glad I get to play super mario brothers 2 for the 9th year in a row. THANK YOU DUNKEY!!!
"It's not the scariest version of Resident Evil... until it is" is probably the best way to describe RE8. Action game, ten minutes of baby hell, action game.
@@macklbabyy It's not so much that its funny, it's more that it is so absurd that it makes you laugh. Games like that never struck me as scary, honestly I just feel bored. Walk to hiding place, stand in hiding place for waaaay too long, repeat until you escape.
I ain’t got’a nuthin funny to say but I do wanna say that Dunkey, you make me laugh out loud so consistently and bring me so much joy with each of your videos. Just, thank you.
@@Mr-XaW Hour 1: This game is so fucking stupid, I can't belive people like a walking Sim with Norman Reedus Hour 80: I have become a God of walking. Ascended to a higher plane of understanding. I will keep on keeping on.
Dunky, u have no idea how much I needed this laugh. 2022 has been the worst but I'm finding myself again after a shitty few months, and part or that was marathoning your videos. During some hard times, you lift me up. U da best. 7/9
@@milesperhour2286 - endless hand-holding - shitty super long tutorial - environment boring - pokemon render distance is awful - still no voice acting - no good music - baby difficulty Shaping up to be another failure like sw/sh
Fucking love dunkey's takes, reviews and opinions. He's honest, he speaks his mind and he has a great understanding of what he is talking about. + dunkey is a comedic genius. Even if you disagree with him, you still gotta admit he always makes a great point containing a valid argument. Videogamedunkey, once again, thank you for your great work.
I’ve been watching him for years and the more time goes on I realize that he is very biased towards Nintendo games (Mario) and doesn’t give other titles fair shakes (Returnal). On top of that, you can never tell when he’s joking or not so his opinions contradict each other (death stranding) and then recognizes great titles (it takes two) and calls out bad ones (assassin’s creed). To say he “always makes a great point containing a valid argument” is just factually wrong. Buts he’s never had a dislike on a single video so that’s worth something.
@@CrazyzzzDudezzz true, dunkey is a massive shit poster, which is also why i love him, but there usually is hidden a valid argument in the signposting somewhere. True that it isn't always the case. But might have a slightly weird approach to his videos, for example, dunkey's first death stranding video was what made buy the game, and he has nothing positive to say about it in that video. In fact, he over exaggerated a lot of the negatives BUT he did also validly describe the game, he conveyed information about it that made me wanna buy it. The thing about dunkey's videos is that he often lumps in geniuen criticism with shit and sarcasm/ irony and the sarcasm/ irony is often used to attack and criticize other dumb brains on the internet, the metroid dread video is a good example of all of this. It all becomes slightly very confusing at times which is a big pull factor for me (i love it) because, i am in fact a dumb contrarian on the internet :)
@@CrazyzzzDudezzz Honestly hes right to be biased towards nintendo... I bought switch oled ~week ago (first nintendo i ve had) ago and blasted thru odyssey and bowsers fury and now playing breath of the wild and can tell for fact that nintendo games are definitely above the rest of the mainstream shit. They work and play like a dream no lag no bullshit they just work. I have been a complete utter fkn fool and a moron for thinking: "yea nintendo games cant be that great"... "Yeah mario dont seem that good", "i probably wouldnt enjoy them" WTF i ve been thinking? Odyssey is a fkn masterpiece and bowser fury is insanely crazy with that bowser + metal combo... Literally all three games are way better than all (AAA) games i ve played in a long ass time. Doom eternal was absolute fire tho... cant say anything negative about that
It actually makes me really happy that he mentioned Mario Golf. I was a tester for that game's final patch, and I'm glad to see someone enjoying Wiggler.
I've never played or heard of the game, it is 1 year younger than me, but it still looks really good based on that snippet watched. Is that a remastered version?
@@dayman7136 Oh I definitely know! Im talking about how he subverts expectations by showing a string of questions and then for the last one actually shows the answer which sounds absurd. It caught me off guard and I wheezed.
3:26 "there is a dentist level, there is a disneyland level, there is a shenmue level of questions being asked" ok dunkey that was amazing writing i loved it
He called it at the beginning of last year, and it turned out to be true, Bowser’s Fury was his game of the year. Totally agree. Behind Super Mario Bros 2 of course.
"Pokemon Unite made League of Legends look like a masterpiece." FINALLY someone says it. For a while, everyone was acting like that game was god's gift to mobas compared to league.
oh wow. i haven't been in this channel for so long. stuff happens but here we go babyyyyyyyyyy time to marathon dunk vids again. also just realized that dunkey has another fun channel called dunkstreams. more power and fortune to you dunkey!
