rogue warrior holds a special place in my heart. I was around 14/15 when it came out. I walked into my local blockbuster at the time and having a subscription to rent any game I wanted for as long as I wanted I was going to rent a game. Everything I wanted was out, but I saw Rogue Warrior sitting there on the shelf and so I rented the game on a whim because there was nothing else left. I took it home and just had a blast in the worst way possible. Today on Steam I farmed every single multiplayer achievement so I dont have to play this monstrosity ever again.
“Non-functioning turd” is the new name I’m going to start using to refer to a coworker. I’m very selective of who I say the other name around so I don’t lose my job but this one seems fairly inoffensive.
I remember watching the Top 20 Worst Games Ever video, and hearing how much swearing was in this game. I was thinking it was completely the studio's idea to give him a sailor mouth, unaware that this was who Richard really was. After watching this video, I'm actually shocked that this was intentional, and Richard was completely up for it. It really shows how the production and history of a game can give you a new angle to something you'd assume was really bad.
So a couple of things...first of all I never laughed so hard when the generic ps2 Korean soldier was effortlessly thrown off the side of the bridge....twice. Second of all you did a fantastic job with research of this game and their development cycle. Really interesting stuff. Damn near a pitch to say fuck it and buy this game off steam.
I hope we get an actual good Rogue Warrior game in the future, or at least a spiritual sucessor. The idea of big player created multiplayer maps is great, and we might be able to achieve this perfectly with modern technology.
Coming from someone who is a huge fan on Marcinko's works, it's a shame how little media there is based on his books. A Rogue Warrior game if done right has a lot of potential to be a great game. Hell, even a movie based on any one of his books, if done right could be great.
This game is the definition of camp art and I absolutley love it! It's like even with the technical issues and overly linear levels, the devs scraped what they could and just decided to shove in as many voice lines for Mickey Rourke as they could, and it was well worth it!
One great review that perfectly sums up the game. Game is objectively awful but damn if it isn't one of the most entertaining games ever due to it's sheer absurdity and ridiculousness. Truly a game that's one of a kind and one everyone should play at least once. I'm glad to have finally been able to play it just a few weeks ago. That leads me unfortunately to the news that broke on Christmas, that of Richard Marcinko passing away, not long after I played the game. Rest in peace sir, your memory will live on, not just in the gaming world for your wacky adventure, but for your military work and time as an author.
17:05 Vibin' to some Dick Marcinko as he's rapping over some smooth jazz blasting this in my studio speakers "I OWN YOUR FUCKING SOUL YOU FUCKiNG COMMIE BASTARD!" Love the editing you put all of his qoutes into a sort of song LOLOL
I met Richard Marcinko at his house about 10 years ago. He hated being called Dick. I asked him about the game, he said he had absolutely nothing to do with it.
I had a friend who actually went to buy this game when it came out. We used towork together and he told me that the clerk at gamestop talked him out of buying it. 😂
"Kicking fucking ass & taking fucking names" is the phrase used to describe the music found in Doom. No, really. "Kitchen Ace (and Taking Names)" is the E1M4 theme. I have no doubt that the makers of Doom and Wolfenstein and Rise of the Triad read Rogue Warrior at the very least.
A part of me respects the game for what Zombie Studios had in mind. They ended up releasing Saw while Rebellion shipped Rogue Warrior. Today, a game of the scale and scope of Zombie's Rogue Warrior wouldn't be impossible if it wasn't for the pandemic. Yet what makes me dislike it so much is how it follows the trends of modern military shooters and how easy you can break the AI or the progression by simply running. Unlike Colonial Marines, a game built on lies, Rogue Warrior is the result of scope and development deadline being absurd at times. I actually played and finished the game on a melee-only run (on Easy) and I also got stuck at the Docks where it took me over an hour of my three hours run just to get out of the death loop. Each time I was respawning and immediately shot for dead, I was laughing to tears and it always happened during an outburst of pure rage due to the hitscan/hivemind behavior of the AI that make me sick even if a development team were to be the most competent, it got to the point where I said some profanity towards Rebellion and Bethesda. It's as if the game knew that I would laugh at how bad it is during the death loop. I think I took over 100 attempts and two resets of the level just to make sure I could exploit the enemy placement with some strategic eliminations so I could run safely. In other words, it's a goatfuck. Goats can be funny and worth taking care of but it's a goatfuck because it's just that bad.
Also DX, if you read this. Do you know anyway to fix crashing? I know of to fix the mouse lag that games like Kane and Lynch 1 and Prototype have, but I'm stuck with it constantly crashing, last time I decided to try running it off my HDD instead of my SSD and it crashed so hard it brought my nvidia drivers down, and I have a 2070. Thanks man.
I must say I just like Mickey Rourke and his voice, I am a big fan of his way back from Year of Dragon and Angel Heart! He is such a great actor honestly!
“There’s 11 weapons and their animations are all stiffer than fake tits on a zombie.” Is such an unhinged and creative insult. I had to rewind to make sure I caught that lol!
I still wonder what the hell made them put Zombies in Shellshock 2, I've only played a little bit of 1 (and seen videos on 2) but they seemlike entirely different games. Also technically the Russian Pistol also has infinite ammo, not that you have much reason to use it.
Clicked subscriptions, saw this, clicked this, YES. I remember this rap song because my friend who also loves bad things used to play it in my car all the time lol.
Someone else might have told you this, but Derby in this context, being the UK town, is pronounced "Darby". Don't worry, it's a common mistake to make.
Great video, also am I crazy or did you do a top 40 about something? I started watching you about 3-4 years ago and I remember there being a top 40 video on the channel but now it either got claimed by a company or deleted idk
I watched your entire playthough of the game a couple of years ago. The only thing more entertaining than the game was you laughter. Epic and contagions.

It sounds like Zombie Studios wanted to make a SOCOM game on a scale they couldn't handle, when they could've made a SOCOM game at a time when SOCOM wasn't SOCOM.
When a Navy Seal tells you its going to be a great game but in reality, they never even played games before so they wouldn't really know quality from trash unfortunately.
Rest In Peace, Dick Marcinko. 1940 - 2021.
The hardest motherfucker around, RIP.
He kicked fucking ass and took fucking names. Rest in peace, legend.
I finished Rogue Warrior like 7 times. It's a guilty pleasure.
This is Mickey Rourke's crowning achievement in acting. That, and The Wrestler.

Should have won the Oscar that year.

I definitely did not expect you to ever revisit this game again. Thought this was a reupload actually.
let's appretiate the fact that he still plays the game regularly

Rouge Warrior is The Room of video games. It's a guilty pleasure hearing those horrible, 80's action trope one-liners delivered by Rourke.
It’s more like a playable Steven Seagal movie, which is not a complaint.
I will never forget this game's original mini review and DX parody singing. (Assuming original credit song was even serious to begin with)
Those end credits... comedy gold right there.
I picked this one up a couple years back after watching one of your videos on it.

I once read the back of this game in GameStop. I thought the main character was an actual person that had a game made for him.
Nice intuition
The credits are an actual bop
This is like the The Room of video games
Dick Marcinko started the glory kill system before Doom 2016 got a hold of it. All under Bethesda
Rebellion would go on to redo the Sniper Elite series. An excellent series.
I feel the same way about Tomb Raider Angel Of Darkness. It's a terrible game. But I love it.
