Worst MMO Ever? - Inferna (and new channel announcement) 

Direct correlation between font size and time also.

Eh? that was a list of something? looked like a page of lines to me...

There is also something to do with the hair

If I can read the list it's old 😂

He should try Transport Tycoon - Josh Strife Delays

Random aside... (*waves to fellow art/mtg fren*) XD It always amuses me when different parts of my life/entertainment cross paths.

reminds me of "grey still plays", who named his Minecraft character "grey still slays".

you mean "best places to play MMOs" right? ;)

theyre the new Josh Strife Craze

yeah, its absolutely the GoT Theme with a few bits and pieces cut out or shifted slightly to avoid lawsuits insanely scummy

Definitely, kinda sounds at points like the artist just modified the a-d-f-g pattern and added some other stuff and put it on a cello. Really scummy for sure

is there a website or something. would love to get some tracks four our DnD group. like a Ride of the Valkyrie at diffrent level of competence dependent on how things go. because I can recall at least ones where we all said you know what music would fit here. Ride of the Valkyrie but its played by a drunk band.

Play Of Crowns

indeed he is

SAD TO THINK they never goin to make a sequel of the legendary Joshua and the promised land... Or we can have a remake....

YES

hope he comments on this video still Saberspark best video besides his latest one that calls RU-vid for their bs, mobile ads are cancer

@@sirmckinpants5701 actually a lot of youtubers are reanimating it

@@kyotheman69 They are really horrible. It was a great video

Oh, hey! Were you in Gems of War? I was trying it out, last week, mashing through the paint-by-numbers plot, then a single line of voice acting popped up, and my brain froze with an "is that... Dan McNeely?!" It isn't on your imdb, so it's been really bugging me.

Not as catchy.

Okayest Game Ever

Nice concept. Reviews of sleeper games.

@@lordmawkish1286 Yes lmao

The problem I can see is that it would take a lot of work for someone to care about something that’s kinda meh. If something is outstandingly good there’s an audience for it. If something is outstandingly bad there’s an audience for it. If something is mediocre, the audience is probably too bored to care.

I was really into "Of all the games that exist, this is one of them"

I am pretty sure that this same tune was REALLY USED IN GOT, but as a background travel music or something like that. Not even joking, if I am wrong it was some tune very similar to that.

It's pretty much the same song just slightly changed 😂

Call me childish, but the 69 gold part got me laughing.

Lmao same

This game is the Metin2 you have at home.

Man the first moment i saw mount on attack animation i knew it was a metin2 clone i played that game for way more than i should do when i was a kid ans when it was still popular around my country it actually quite sad that someone tried to make a fixed version of a long dead game to faill miserably

it aims ot be a spiritual successor yes. metin 2 had huge quality but was plagued by gameforge as well as low effort from the KR devs. this game always tried to solve the environment issue of Metin2 including the terrible invinsible wall that plague metin2. So far so good concidering the insanely low budget. ANd in fact it doesn't need a high budget for what it aims to be. Just a good animator and art direction.

You don't need new game to have your own Metin . There are dozens of private metin servers, where more than 90% of metin's playerbase is.

@@s.kasecky8156 private server are dogshit. they are meaningless. they add BS modified and powerup. Current metin isn't just bad because of the cash shop. It's bad because they have implemented unbalmlanced update who the RUINED the game. Private server are all "P-server" for fun for what? 1 week? non P server are corrupted as fuck, might as well go to gameforge directly eddit: + metin is a game that is played on the long run. the game is design that way: you need 150books to go from master to GM. that's 5-6 month. No private server last that long anyway. WHo would invest time in such a grind if the server can shutdown at any moment? It'sv like playing dynasty warrior with no saves

I was about to ask about that. LOTRO is considered bad now? I remember people REALLY liking it back in the day.

@@voilvelev6775 its still doing very well and has a dedicated community and developers. With regular expansions to.

@@voilvelev6775 Lotro got bounced around dev teams for a while. It certainly doesnt have the care and cohesion that it once did.

@@voilvelev6775 lotro turned into such a grindfest that i started to play runes of magic again to recover from relentless grinding.

@@voilvelev6775 it has become far too easy. which makes me sad. It used to be very well balanced. now you can pretty much solo it. I remember 10 years ago, you could not do epic quests alone, you needed a group and it was awesome. Now I solo quests 2 levels below the recommeded and I get bored.

... honestly, that sounds like something Yahtzee would say lol

Some peeps are into that, I guess...

Personally, I'm retarded so I can only learn via the judicious application of pain.

@@cynicalcitizen8315 As our lord and saviour Skeletor say: JOKES ON YOU! IM INTO THAT SHIT!!!

@@cynicalcitizen8315 yeah, they are called castrated men

You and Inferna both. And, presumably, the THREE MAN DEV TEAM.

ok

I could see "Josh Strife Slays" as either a series where he just absolutely roasts the hell out of a game from start to finish or him attempting some on point cosplay. I mean he taught himself how to leather craft sooo...

> As an oldschool metin 2 player Hello I have a question: Why

Or they succeeded, who knows.

@Rias Gremory blind nostalgia

It is tbh a fanmade Game from oldschool metin players

​@@pandeomonia Back in like 2008/2009 metin 2 was huge in Poland, every kid in school was playing it.

Because of the "Kill 3 devs" quest.

only 1 dev work on this game, only 1 ^^

@@sedrik02 It says 3 though?

@@sedrik02 das mean dont make mmo, but its say 3 thoo?

@@Jack-jp8bz what if the other 2 devs are just the first dev alternative personalities?

Maybe some of these games where made to be single player at the start but then tacked on online game play just because it was technically possible.

yeah, that makes no sense. If we take this to it's extreme, it would mean that we can't criticise something like racism. Racism is worthless, but criticising it is very important, lest people fall into it by being lied to by power hungry individuals.

@@Nerobyrne Racism is not worthless, it's socially reprehensible and shouldn't be practiced in the modern age- this doesn't mean it's without worth. Nobody would bother using racism if it didn't work.

@@actually5004 well, that's an interesting viewpoint I suppose.

@@actually5004 Whether or not racism has any type of worth very much depends on whether one is a racist or the victim of racism and this apllies to basically everything. If you can profit from a famine it's not worthless, if you can gain influence from a nuclear holocaust it's not worthless. Maybe whether or not something can have worth to someone is just not a great metric to judge it's overall quality?

@@Nerobyrne Wow. You're so incredibly brave to say "racism is bad."

LITTY 😂🔥

Yes he is XD

Don't Czechs, Poles, and Ukrainians say "kurwa?"

I tried to reinstall and replay LOTRO a couple of weeks ago, but even failed to get the game starting. Downloading / installing / patching was a pain in the turbine aera, but now it completely didnt work :(

I tried it out again last month, for the first time since like the late 2000s and I did not make it more than 3h, everything aside from it having the benefit of having the lotr name felt horrible from a modern standpoint.

@@wizardsghost876 did you try switching launcher to 64bit version?

he low-key suggested there'd be pr0n there so everyone subbed asap

@@alexreilly6121 ... What?

i quit lotro when i got to a quest giver and he told me to buy the questline in the cash shop, i said nah and uninstalled

Unfortunately, LOTRO went downhill when they went free to play around 2010 or so.

The developers are talking about completely redoing the monetization in Lord of the Rings Online. They know it's bad. And frankly I mean they were just kind of figuring out what a free-to-play system even meant in the west since they were the ones basically figuring it out.

@@pocketheart1450 If Lotro did the wow system of you buy game and a 10-15$ sub id gladly do that. Im in my 30s now and i have zero time or want to play a game thats sole purpose for existing is to milk me for more money beyond the box price and sub. Just lemme get the game, and a sub and let me play.

@@jonathansoko1085 yeah, it sucks. Lotro is not a f2p game, even if it is advertised as such. The f2p is more like a free trial and a horrible experience if you try to get on in the game. I mean technically you can grind the points to unlock stuff in the shop - but i guess you have to quit your job then. If you sub, you have all story content unlocked (as far as i sm aware) and you can clearly see, that it was designed to be a sub based mmo (with some extra stuff in the store slapped on it). Tldr., its a sub game with s horrible f2p option. Only worth playing, if you love middle earth and tolkiens works - thats the sticking point for me, as this is by far the best digital version of middle earth that exists and unfortunately it seems that its not gonna pass that torch anytime soon.

Might be a problem since it's run by the same developer as Lord of the Rings Online. If LoTRO isn't optimized for DirectX 12, I don't think DDO will be either.

@@Remianen this guy is filming on a toaster that lags in a game like Inferna... I don't see how being optimized for DX12 has anything to do with anything, his rig can't even run DX12 lmao

@@Remianen not sure. I manage with it for DDO. Still boot it up with a couple friends from time to time for a bit of a dungeon crawl run if my local tabletop group can't meet up that week. That said, I really don't recommend it for solo play. Even with hirelings you kinda *need* a party for a lot of the content. Which makes sense given its basically a pretty close 1 to 1 port of 3.5 Edition.

I hope he does, I'd imagine he would say good things about ddo

Ddo was the shit when it first came out. Back then you could find groups so fast for the content too

Or Josh Strife Tries, where he tries games develop by Developers such as yourself :D

@@UrbanSyed2904 I WOULD BE HONORED IF HE REVIEWED MY GAMES (even tho I don’t have any to show at the moment) BUT THAT WOULD BE SICK

@@mrnickhox Right!~ he can give his honest opinions to Game Devs passionate in developing their games, hey Josh, can't you do a series like that? at least try 1 episode to see if there's a viewing for it....

central/eastern european nostalgia. Metin2 was very popular back then.

its starting already!.... the clone wars

It is a important part of Slavic culture you need to drink a lot of vodka and have grown up under communism to understand.

@@belstar1128 ...this is so wrong

We patiently await the day.

And even WoW's DX12 will crap out on some people!

@@DoAGoldeneye Could that be the reason for GW2 announcing its switch to DirectX11 instead of 12?

@@aureliaaurita6498 they wrote a whole news post. It boils down to "DX11 allows us to support a wider range of operating systems, it's good enough to fix the frame issue and allows tons of upgradability." From an outside perspective upgrading from DX9 to DX11 is relatively straightforward, whereas DX9 to DX12 is akin to rewriting a program in a completely different programming language. WOW can spend the dev resources to do so that, not necessarily any other company.

@@milhousevanhoutan9235 it also potentially locks out some of the player base, I would bet a non-zero number are still on Windows 7 and MS only supported DX12 on W7 for a small list of games mainly WoW in the first place.

@@cericat Yes that's exactly a thing, which is why I said "It allows them to support a wider range of operating systems." Specifically DX11 allows them to support all the way back to Vista, though you are right that Win 7 is the overriding concern. Additionally considering the Mac client was just shut down at the same time they ended 32-bit support, they aren't afraid to EOL a client that a small portion of their userbase is running so it's probably not just 'non zero' but a 'reasonably high minority' the mac client was always buggy and difficult to work with so a lot of people just bootcamped their macs to play gw2 on windows to avoid the mac client. I also believe that even though they don't officially support it I imagine they at least thought about people who may be running Linux and running some kind of WINE setup for gaming, which DX12 is notoriously finicky for those people while DX11 runs pretty much easy breezy beautiful.

I really miss him...

@@lardosmug me too, buddy. Me too.

The quest "A Striking Absence of Boar" in Evendim has been stuck in my head for years, I don't remember what even followed it up but everything about it was so incredibly meta that I will never not laugh at it

They put the game on steam, so it's an official place to get the game. Being able to run it has got to be the bare minimum requirement, and if it only works from some sources and not from others, they have failed miserably. If this is really an issue, they'd be better off removing it from steam.

What's wrong with the steam version? edit: nvm watched the video. I never had any problems tho. But that was last year

Yea the game looked super cool to me because pipe smoking was a skill (i am not sure if this was true) but ofcourse like all good 2000s mmos i wanted to try but could not because of bad pc and no money and time it became trash just as i was getting ready to give it a try.

ikr.. i have a powerful PC and LOTRO was ez to install and runs great, dunno how Josh manage to fuck that up lol

@@jfbeland690 my pv isnt powerfulöl per say, quiet old and im about to update it piece by pioece :)

M. Night Shamalamadingdong twist: He's a zombie in a virtual reality full dive experiment that the United States Governement has used to find a way to control the population, in an effort to keep their experiments on the low they kidnapped Josh and turned him into a zombie and forced him to start reviewing bad MMO's tricking the public into thinking he's a human all along, meanwhile they feed him the brains of every MMO player who thinks Metin2 is a great MMO in order to satisfy his lust for death and bad MMO experiences. Why make him a zombie you ask...? that's the twist... YOU are the zombie.. YOU are the experiment.. JOSH is....your.....father.......

That can become "true" scp But i'm to shitty writer

You get a yikes from me bruh

Eu to esperando até hoje aparecer o "Grand Fantasia" nessa série.

@@ajmx307 joguei bastante o grand, e sim é outro q provavelmente vai aparecer por aqui

Same, i love the Middle Earth and D&D settings

Lotro was my jam almost a decade ago, at this point. Haven't played for ages, sad to hear it's gone downhill.

@@thendaggers7082 TBF it's amazing that both games are still playable and that it's their own dev team that bought them out, not Gamigo or some company like that. Asheron's Call didn't survive...

Lotro still gets plenty of content often, theres even a new expansion coming out this fall.

Lotro is still going guys! 😭 Don't pronounce it dead yet!

I mean, at this point the series is, "hey check out this random MMO I tried"

@@Makensha basically yeah

@@JoshStrifeHayes i'm eagerly waiting for your video about SC. it have free flight weekends as well as a fully functionnal cash shop (argueably moreso than the game itself), with multiple layers of things to optimised ... wait.. is the cash shop the game?
