Instead of going from liking to hating Alex Yiik over the games course, Chris just went from hating him at the beginning to absolutely despising him in the middle for him not even bothering to look at the cover of the record
After 10 minutes of starting the game you ask yourself "Wait where's the funny commentary?". 2 hours later you're doubled over crying, begging Alex Yiik to shut up.
If I had to play it getting the opportunity to lock lips with yuriofwind would be the one brightside to the whole game- sucks that you can't but a Rory-based moral system thing is also good, actually the whole game should be about Rory or whatever- there's a furry flash game about having a being stuck with a cat furry, and you have the option to be his friend, lover, or abuser depending on your choices- that is a game that i would play. It could also be like that one old new grounds game about brainwashing a girl you kidnapped- I would also be happy with a game where you do that to him, or even just a soft fluffy thing. Fuck I'm a g oddamn Rory simp
I like to imagine Ding Dong jumping up and grabbing Chris by the collar while shaking him as he shouts "DO IT" over and over again over the Kiss Rory option.
Some of my favorites that didn't make it in: "Put Buzz Lightyear on his face" "That was the android I saw in my dreams!" "NO IT WASN'T" "There were big scary men with machetes and normally those aren't out at night, so it's kind of suspicious... Also Alex tried to kiss me." "He didn't look at the cover?! I hate Alex." "NOW?!"
"Oh Chris, you're not Irish" is the sickest burn Julian has ever made and I'm sad Chris and Ding Ding didnt notice, but at the same time it makes it funnier
I remember how every other content creator trash this game for being unbearable but I would like to thank this playthrough to make this one of my best bad games I've ever seen
I genuinely am thinking about playing this game. I know the comparison is overused, but this really feels like the gaming industrys version of the Room. The people who made it genuinely thought they were making something great and it ends up being unintentionally hilarious and enjoyable in ways the creators did not intend.
Alex YIIK is my favorite series right now, I don't know why, but is like a guilty pleasure, I love the game, I love how bad it is, because without that they will be no making fun, but at the same time praising the game all the time in their series. I love how they hate the characters, but at the same time they like how bad written they are, how the incredible painful writing make them go crazy, but they just put their own ideas that just make simpler the plot. I think this game is amazing, tons of people just make it look bad, but in reality, is a bad game that if you play it to serious you just gonna take all the fun you could get from it. Better than the new formula, "Take all from the start, don't struggle with any of the game just complete it without any feeling of accomplishment", also i never see someone been harsh to Hades, that game have a fun mechanic and gameplay, but the writing is even worse than Alex YIIK.
... That's because people actually enjoy Hades's writing, however much you personally dislike it. And nobody actually enjoys YIIK's pretentious writing except ironically and for luls.
I'm all for being slightly less harsh on the game out of sympathy for the creator but you are giving it far too much credit. It's still a *full price* game that is genuinely a massive slog to play through. The writing isn't always 'so bad it's funny', I promise you, it's actually just excruciatingly boring and stupidly long 80% of the time without the funny commentary.
@@cocoapixels I know but that grow up in me, as I say is a guilty pleasure, I know is just awfully bad in many ways, but there is not day that I say "Hope Oneyplays upload Alex YIIK today" and I really think because of that is amazing even if that wasn't the intention. In case of Hades I was really into the game and I enjoy it, but after reaching the goal what follow next didn't catch me to ever play it again, as a person that love Greek Mythology (I was horrified with the writing of a cheap bad sitcom). So it hits me harder. Is a really good game don't get me wrong, but damn, a lazy fan fiction can do a better work, the quality was so far away there.
As someone who's very familiar with YIIK's shortcomings I wasn't going to watch this. Although, judging by these highlights and comments this sounds like a good series to play in the background as I work. Thanks for shedding some light on this! 3/16/22 Update: Came across this vid again and I cannot recommend this series enough for background noise. Just coherent enough to laugh at while not being at all distracting (even with ADHD!)
in one of their digimon videos I'm pretty sure they said they finished it so I think we'll be seeing it through to the end but I might also just be getting my hopes up
Me too, but every time i try to recall the the depression indie earthbound inspired game i can't recall anything other than omori and yiik. And one of those isn't even bad. I know there are others but i can't remember them lol
Someone please mod it so all of Alex’s dialogue is just “I love being in YIIK”
Over and over again no spaces
If I came across without any context I would genuinely believe I was in a creepypasta.
And make it so every one of his dialogue sprites has his hands on his head
That'd be a legit improvement over the original dialogue.
and with Oneys voice clip being used
The build up for kissing Rory made it so much better in that episode, I thought the editor added it at first it was too perfect
ding dong wanted to kiss rory for like 5 episodes before that too it was so fuckin funny
If you don't try to kiss Rory he commits suicide
In this highlight it sucks tho

I love when Chris jokingly says "Kiss Rory", it appears as an option and he's so conflicted because he didn't expect to get that far
That was Ding Dong that said it.
Never has a game been so terrible yet so interesting. Its like watching a train wreck in slow motion.
Reeeaaaally slow motion

Fun fact: The voice of Rory, YuriofWind refused to play this game cause he even knows howw awful it was and wants to be friends with Chris.
Maybe Chris *can* finally kiss Rory.
Based rory
I was wondering what the hell he was doing in this game
Holy shit, YURI voiced Rory? Sheesh, this is starting to remind me of... practically every big name RUclips VA in Hunt Down The Freeman.
Oh shit, I didn't know it was actually YuriofWind. I always thought he just sounded similar to me.

He’s in YIIK, and he loves it. You gotta respect that.

The game is named after a famous computer error code. Does 4/04 remind you of any other particular error codes?
It’s a pun, and a clue to the twist.
The moral of that Bible story being an extremely irritated DON'T TRUST ANYBODY is absolutely killing me
If it were in the bible it would make sense considering how contradictory the damn thing is.

Given that the game also got him tangled in a myriad of plagiarism allegations, I don't doubt it.

i emulated it on swatch and couldn't get past finding the cat it was so boring
The sentence “The World of YIIK™️ is mine to Reap” constantly bounces around in my head
Did Oney seriously predict the ending of the game with that one line?
How has The Old Man And The Wench not been animated yet?
Nice Planet 9 pfp, don't see that too often

4:00 “peter do you realise what this means, our sister brian griffin is dead!”
This game has been a gem for creating brilliant moments.
i love the alex yiik screaming everytime he clutches his head, which was all the time
Yiikes, the postmodern hipsterism RPG. Also, ive never seen someone hyping so much on being able to kiss Rory lmao
...It's meant to be a dive on hipsterism by the way. I know people are unusually stupid at noticing things but this game has never glorified hipsters.
@@mbsb1376 You good, my guy?

I like to imagine Ding Dong jumping up and grabbing Chris by the collar while shaking him as he shouts "DO IT" over and over again over the Kiss Rory option.
I never get tired of seeing Alex Yiik's mouth flap, vibrating with motion.
The one moment at the beginning of ep 10 where some enemy attacks Rory and they say that genuine "don't hurt him, he's Rory- NO!!!!" kills me
I actually couldn't breathe for a bit after the "No one cares about your sister right now"
That "shut up!" Ding Dong did at 1:01 sounded exactly like Zach.
Same voice actor
Some of my favorites that didn't make it in:
"Put Buzz Lightyear on his face"
"That was the android I saw in my dreams!"
"NO IT WASN'T"
"There were big scary men with machetes and normally those aren't out at night, so it's kind of suspicious... Also Alex tried to kiss me."
"He didn't look at the cover?! I hate Alex."
"NOW?!"
"I love bein in YIIK!" Alex Yiik
"The world of YIIK is mine to reap"
- God
"Oh Chris, you're not Irish" is the sickest burn Julian has ever made and I'm sad Chris and Ding Ding didnt notice, but at the same time it makes it funnier

Why is hearing "Alex YIIK" so funny?
Cuz kirboavor made super Mario rpg song
It's the fact you have to pronounce two long "e" sounds in a row
6:09 now you're learning, understanding, finally you're becoming human
1:40 I think it symbolized freedom from Hell.
That dumb Chris quote always comes to mind when someone says "symbolizes"
As a yuriofwind fan with no prior knowledge of this game, 3:46 threw me for a loop
The "dread omelette" line was really good
Im so surprised the "chondra cmon we have to go" "claudio whatre we doing here man"
The Big YIIK Tournament would consist of contestants having to run an obstacle course to be the first to reach and kiss someone dressed as Rory
I love that even though the crow says it’s pronounced why-two-Kay Chris still pronounces it as yick (rightfully so)
4:05 Yeah, thats about the time where I gave up on Alex and saw he couldn't be redeemed. Glad to see them react the same way I did.
Couldn’t be redeemed for what? Telling one of the voices in his head to shut up and stop reminding him of his own sister trauma?
Alex’s va is famous Newgrounds user Kirbopher
And sex offender, apparently
I honestly thought the last one was going to be the end. I wouldn't of blamed them really.
The game of YIIK, it make me squeak, when they upload more I must shriek
I love YIIK, it makes me shriek, it also makes my peepee leak
"There's an alternate Alex running around kissing people! We gotta investigate this guys!"
I love DingDong's humor
This game would have been great, if it wasn’t freaking terrible.

Seriously, is anything comparable to this from them?

Yiik is The Room of video games.
"Why does it keep glitching at the worst part of the game?!"
How can you even tell which part is the *worst* part of this trainwreck?
YUP, BASICALLY THIS.
Many thigh slappers from The Stink, The Long and the Meat
“Would you...
Recommend drinking *chunky soda* ?”
Does anyone know which episode he says "NO ONE CARES ABOUT YOUR DEAD SISTER" ?
If you are referring to Alex, he says it during the episode "We're just lovin' STINKTOWN in YIIK: A POST-MODERN RPG - PART 12" at 17:54.
they actually say it constantly throughout the series, it's one of the first things they say
"The YIIK tournament is coming up!"
My favourite part of yik was when ding dong yelled “there’s a bomb”
MARGE, MY YIIKING OUT!
My favorite is where Chris talks as the crow just kills me
lol at "so far". unfortunately that ending is never coming.
Plot twist: this game is the funny.
6:11 me and my GHaY DeMon arguing.
I've made my peace with this LP being abandoned right at the end, but I am absolutely losing my gourd waiting for Yiik I.V
this game would have been perfect and truly post modern if they just gave alex a glock half way through the game
Its gonna genuinely upset me when OneyPlays finally uploads YIIK (Complete series)

Yuriofwind was such a weird casting choice for Rory.
Its so amazing lmaooo
