I've talked about some of Atlus's greatest published games, but Atlus doesn't have a perfect track record; not all of Atlus's games have been good. In this video I look at a few of the worst games Atlus has ever published. 
Игры
Whenever people say SMTIV Apocalypse or Persona 4 is bad i wanna throw hands with them
persona 4 is just like persona 3 except more frustrating.
@@smilinggeneral8870 honestly for me 3 is a more frustrating 4, but I deeply love and respect both of them
@@smilinggeneral8870 nothing is more frustrating then going up tartarus hearing that same tune for 60 hours. P4 reeled that shit in.
@@NukeDaHippies but in 2/3 versions of 3 you can play background tracks
@@ziro6319 But, it's poorly intergrated and it changes back constantly. They're not very good either.
Atlus should republish these games under the "Atlus: The Worst" label.
Imagine that selling because they put low effort into the port and meme on it
It Comes With "Persona 5 Skateboarding"
@@Next-xm2dh no no no, P5R.
Persona 5: The Racing
Bonum est
Atlus: The Worst REMASTER
*then sells better than Persona 5*
101 in 1 is actually one of the worst games of all time according to metacritic. Good on atlus for having variety with their achievements, got persona 5 royal in the top 100 games of all time and 101 on the other end.
The only reason I remember R.I.P.D existed is because Cartoon Network wouldn't stop running commercials for it for some ungodly reason.
Shirley Temple little darling collection: First time?
@@Pufferscorsesestatus Bruuh I remember those commercials. They were running for years straight it was crazy. I probably stopped watching TV before they stopped running and I haven't watched TV in years.
as soon as i heard p3d music instantly i thought "hey, *i* like those games!"
aint bad games but they were marketed horribly.
It's really only P5D I dislike. There aren't so many great remixes and it used many of the original music from the first Persona 5.
@@cliffturbo2146 fair. i only really have casual knowledge of persona 3, especially compared to 5, but 5 dancing is nowhere near as good as 3. atlus either should have waited for royal, or made 3 and 5 dancing the one game.
@@ant9027 There were sources that says that Atlus could had made them into one game. But yes, if there aren't many musics yet, then they could had waited.
Same
While not a bad game, there's a VERY obscure PS1 Horror game published by Atlus only in JP and PAL regions. It's called Hellnight (Dark Messiah in JP). It's really hard to get your hands on, even in ISO/ROM form, but if you can, it's fascinating. The art team that made it also did a lot of the art for Persona 1 iirc, though I'm pretty sure they went uncredited. The monster design is very reminiscent, though.
What’s the story?
Uncredited? What the fuck?...
@@jinhunterslay1638 TL;DP it's a First Person Amnesia-style Horror Game. The conceit is that you're taking a subway train in Tokyo after a run-in with some Y2K nuts (the game was made in 1999), and the train suddenly derails when it hits a man on the tracks. The man turns out to be some sort of escaped test subject, and morphs into a skeletal monster that chases you through the subway and connected sewers.
You find refuge in a hidden community in an underground city called the Tokyo Mesh, a world of social outcasts, on-the-run criminals, and other odd folks. The game eventually evolves, as well as the monster, into an exploration of a 90's Japan take on HP Lovecraft, with elements of non-euclidean space, and a global conspiracy. It's one of the most compelling hidden gems I've ever had the pleasure of playing.
Europe got the game thanks to Konami Localising and Publishing it. See also another Atlus game call Road Rage 3 on PS2 that was published by Phoenix games in PAL regions.
@@giantdad1661 The team, Dennou-Eizou, was not credited for the work on Persona 1, though the individual members were, iirc. The team was still together, though, and wound up making an RPG for the Dreamcast called DeSpiria. It's very reminiscent of SMT's monster catching motif. I believe they were responsible for a lot of the 3D renders.
WAIT! Atlus published that attack on titan game !? Didn't know :/
I honestly don't think it's anywhere near as bad as the others listed, but still, if you can put up with Monster Hunter and Dynasty Warriors, then World Mode gives you your money's worth... Or because lawyers say you can't get it for money anymore, then, your piracy's worth... But then again, the legally available PS4 ones are definitely an upgrade... I say this even though I haven't played them yet.
That's why this vid is pointless. They didn't even develop it. Bad Atlus games? It's a Spike Chunsoft game. Come on.
@@fadedsun303 Yeah I always find it odd when people can't distinguish developer, and publishers.
@@FromBeyondTheGrave1 ...except he did say on the start that the list is about, and i quote, "the worst possible games _either developed or published by Atlus",_ sooo
So, it's all possible enough for a Sonic/Attack on Titan Collab to happen, all thanks to the people who brought us Shin Megami Tensei, Persona and stuff.
And of course, we need to see Bryce Papenbrook as Good!Eren and Silver talking in a Bar too.
Honestly I hate the part of the Fandom that says a game sucks bc its popular and they didn't like it, like its such a stupid thing to say
Let the purists talk. They're screaming into the void. It's not the games' fault they appeal more to the majority. Best to leave them in their little echo chambers to drown in their own piss, shit and tears
101-in-1 (Wii version) remained one of Atlus USA's top-selling games for years precisely *because* it was garbage shovelware with no niche. There was made a deal with QVC to sell a Wii+101 bundle on live tv that made record sales numbers (for them, so we're talking in the 100k+ range), and because it wasn't threateningly demonic even Wal-Mart was willing to stock it. This, in addition to usually non-gaming department stores looking for Wii games to sell, led to 101 getting on more shelves and into more hands than any other Atlus-published game before.
This is the quintessential "Grandma bought this for Xmas, bless her for trying" game. It's cheap, it's very bad, and the concept is only interesting to those who have no frame of reference to what determines quality in games.
To reiterate: it's an awful, awful "game" compilation. Don't go looking for it or the sequel (Sports Megamix) or the DS games trying to discover a hidden gem, because it really is just terrible. But it did sell like no other game because of the Wii bubble and getting into the awareness of first-time system buyers and the non-"gamer" audience.
Michael Meeker Don’t forget: Scott The Woz talked about it! TWICE
In the words of Erick Landon RPG, "I dub this game....HIDDEN TRASH"
It was a European developed game that Atlus in the US published it wasn't published by Altlus in any other region than US. Also the DS original was pretty much done all by a single person as well. I doubt many other DS games are like that.
These types of Wii shovelware games are the equivalent of those 50 movies for $9.99 deals they got in Wal-Mart bargain bins.
@@WraxTV Those 50 movie ones take less effort to make though since everything already finished to begin with.There also a US only thing since most places in the world you cant sell movies with a unrated version and it costs money to rate them.
*R.I.P.D.* got *ripped* apart by critics, you say?
Hahahaha 😐
The movie was very generic as well.
@@Anthony8851 :/
The name foreshadowed it
@@LazyPirate8 the trailer was cool though
I thought this was going to be games actually developed by Atlus, not just random shit they published lmao
Yeah but the games still have their Logo on it, so it certainly attracts attention
Check out Virtual Hydlide for the Saturn. Game is incredibly jank and runs at a silky smooth 6 fps.
I finished that game...
Like... its performance is fucking horrible but if you can get past that... and the wierd controls and.some wierd gameplay decisions.... it has some potential behind it. Its a bad game but its not the worst
@@sethdeath888 I saw it at one of the awful games done quick and thought it was pretty hilarious that like pulling up the map was used to increase fps.
Im sure its probably a pretty cool game performance aside.
I really think the game is bad but at the same time it's such a guilty pleasure
I mean, i saw more frames on crysis running on a potato than a game from 1995
Still runs better than Killing Time on 3d0.
Humanity in Chains was a game I unironically liked when it released, played it recently and I suddenly knew exactly why the infinitely better sequel "Future Coordinates" never got localised
persona fans be like "101 in 1 explosive megamix is canon, but the characters lost their memory after"
Moral of the story: Don’t make licensed games
Don't forget Toy Story 2 N64/PS1
There's also:
Jump Super Stars/Jump Ultimate Stars on NDS
X-Men Konami Arcade
Simpsons Konami Arcade
Every X-Men/Marvel game put out by Capcom
Actually most Capcom licensed games are good, even Harvey Birdman was good
Licensed games can definitely be good, it's just a matter of whether the developers care to make it good or the developers are given enough time to make it good. I'd imagine a lot of licensed games are on a time-table to get them out to coincident with the release of a movie/TV series and that's a part of why they tend to be bad even from good developers.
Source90000 Batman Arkham
They didnt make it, if you look up the game it was made by a different developer. Atlus simply published it
@@WraxTV Not sure if this fit into what you already listed, but X-Men Legends was pretty cool despite its rather simple gameplay. The early Playstation/Playstation 2 Spider-man games as well as the new Insomniac one were pretty great as well
R.I.P.D was just a modified much worse version of another Atlus published game called God Mode.
Bro what, I had that 101 in 1 game on Wii way back in like 2009, I can’t believe THAT was my first atlus game of all things.
I cant believe it was made by atlus tooo
Mine was fucking attack on Titan
I think in Europe it wasn't published by Atlus
I can’t believe you neglected to mention virtual hylide
Virtual Hydlide, despite having being overall a bad experience, is not entirely a terrible game. At least it has a unique gameplay experience that prevents you to enjoy the same gameplay twice... which adds some uniqueness in a way.
I remember the hype behind that 3DS attack on titan game. There was already a fantastic online fan game on PC and everyone thought the official game would be just as good. Urgh nope
That fan game was so fucking good
ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT THE ROBLOX GAME!!??
@@ThomasOwOD No not that one, it was the "Fenglee" fangame
@@Stickmanlolz hahaha you fool you fell for my trick I knew you weren't talking about roblox
@@ThomasOwOD Well, I wouldn't be surprised if there actually was a Roblox game :p
OH WOW, Atlus published an Attack On Titan game?... oh... that’s... wow.
People make choices, but that was a CHOICE.
great job Nyarly!! ily! ^^💖💖💖
The fact that you used starfox zero and persona dancing collection as the "not great" games makes me angry
Watch his Megaten tierlist, he only disliked 3 and 5 dancing for their scummy DLC and sales practices, he actually put P4D on the same tier as Persona 5.
There is no excuse for Star Fox.
@@chromefunction6567 literally it's the best starfox game imo
@@chromefunction6567 why because of the controls? Literally I can't think of anything they could've done to make a better starfox game. (Maybe running sections like in assault). Go watch The Completionists video on it
@@clashmanthethird Makes sense. Those games are nice but atlus can't stop shoving their annoying business practices in them. Even getting the full collection of games doesn't give you any of the dlc.
I REALLY wanted to like Star Fox Zero, I really did. But it sucks.
11:00 - I hope you had that spelled "Gets RIPD apart" in your script (assuming you have a script)
10:40 huh? I’ve never- oh... oh no. *Ooohhh nnooooooooo...*
I heard RIPD and I was like
Oh fuk
Can somebody tell me what the movie is, and what makes it bad other than the fact it's forgettable?
@@KazuhaEien Just think Men In Black(almost identical to it) but not funny
This is the first video I've seen in your channel, now I'm anxiously waiting for your -Maken Shao- Demon Sword review.
When you are aware of the fact that Atlus published 101 Games in 1
You: I now have the big sad
"Good luck trying to adjust the camera while moving"
*Laughs in MGS Peace Walker for the PSP*
git gud
-MHFU
We need a persona and R.I.P.D crossover game
Nah, we need an R.I.P.D dancing game
>Bad ATLUS Games
>P3D and P5D as background image
*Wonder if there's a connection* 🤔
But both are good games
@@RaidenTheRipper88 They are fun if you're a fan.
But it has way too many scummy dlcs. They are dirt cheap, but dividing your game in parts isn't good advertisement.
They're fun
P2D when?
I feel like the zombies was a last second decision to capitalize on the zombie craze as for "zombies", they handled a slew of weapons just fine to fight back.
R.I.P.D actually became a cult classic later on (I even feel this deserved better reviews) but honestly Atlus really dropped the ball on this. They should have made it an action adventure game with many missions related to arresting or killing souls of the damned
I actually really liked 101 in 1 when I was younger. I thought the artstyle was unique. I had some favourite minigames, like the one where you're a man in a rabbit suit escaping from an elevator or the one where you play as Cupid.
Wait, that AoT game got removed form the eshop? I actually still have it on my 3DS because I never bothered to delete it
My grandma got me that 101 in 1 game for 69 cents (nice) for my birthday when I was a kid. It was a obvious last minute gift and I hated it.
I actually had a bit of fun with AOT chains of humanity when it came out; sure it had it’s problems with the janky camera angles and limited gameplay, but it definitely provided a challenge when it came to the various missions you took. I do felt like they could have implemented more stuff with character customization and the story campaign, ‘cause there were some missions where you actually get fight along side the main characters. Waste that it was only for the multiplayer mode.
I had 101 in 1 on my kindle and would play it all the time when I was younger, glad to know that Altus just ported a mobile game onto the ds.
Does code of princess count? Imo the combat is okay but the story makes me have to recheck if it is actually made by Atlus
>actually liked math, even as a kid
Sees 101-1 games
See it was publish by *atlus*
**SHOVELWARE FLASHBACKS**
**Grabs shotgun**
Me: *HOW COULD U!!!* 😡
lol I remember playing RIPD on PS3 a long time ago, I think it was just a demo. I don't remember it running that badly on PS3, but I also remember being thoroughly unimpressed with the gameplay. Had no idea Atlus was responsible, which I guess goes to show how proud of it they were.
wow... so my first Atlus game is "my disney kitchen" XD lol
i mean i enjoy it when i was a kid, but i never thought it would be atlus that published this game
Games published and not developed by Atlus should not count, as they technically aren't Atlus games.
The video is about games atlus has published, check description
Matt Lava but that makes no sense lol he’s talking about “bad atlus games” and to me, that would suggest the games THEY ACTUALLY MAKE
He named Maken but he didn't find it bad for example
Including Yu Narukami from the Persona 4 Series
You mean Chad Ziodynecock from Chad Simulator 2011?
@@lucasnicodemo7385 how could I have been so blind, damn you, Neo Featherman
@@komoneon *HOLY SHIT!*
IS THAT A MOTHERFUCKING PERSONA 4 THE ANIMATION REFERENCE????
Lucas Nicodemo 2011? That's when P4A came out
when i saw the spike chunsoft on the cover of the attack on titian game, i knew it was gonna be bad.
You start to understand how wretched this platform is when the name of the virus, that's getting in the way of everyone's lives, is banned. Like people who earn a living from content creation on youtube must fell like slaves sometimes.
what does this have to do with atlus games tho
@Manek Iridius RUclips is bad though. It's already hard to monetize for good content creators. Censoring speech on a central issue in people's lives surely isn't a good thing. If only we could get people really on board for an alternative. Using RUclips is just convenience at this point.
@@Koyomi_xiv 14:52 when he has to put a fucking virus to the same level as the name of a god (Its the same sound used when characters say YHVH's name in apocalypse) you know youtube's stupid.
@Manek Iridius Sorry, it's still dumb we have to use euphemisms whenever we want to talk about the kyogre virus.
How close was Jack Bros to making the cut?
Jack bros is good
Once they said that the first game doesn’t have dub I shut off the video
Honestly the way you were talking about ripd made it feel like you were physically beating it up to the point where I felt like a bystander walking past someone blowtorching a spider.
Have you guys ever played Yggdra Union? Just asking
Listen, My Disney Kitchen is a CLASSIC. legit I would be SO HYPE to play that at my friend's house when we were kids! Pizza and pickle smoothies?! HEEEELL YEAH
I'm pretty new to the fandom, so I'm not sure if I've earned my right to have an opinion here yet, but I feel like persona 4 and 5 get a lot of shit. The stories might have issues but the gameplay is solid and case persona 4 wasn't even that anime that was golden that did it.
You're completely in the right. The ragging on P4/P5 is from mostly salty SMT fans upset because of the game's popularity, it's best to just ignore those people.
When I was walking my dog one time on the road I saw a beat up copy of 101 games for the ds.
What's the song that plays when he talks about the Attack on Titan game
101 in 1 games was literally a free game a played on my grandmothers phone when i was 6
"you probably know what I'm talking about"
No,what is this banned word ha is talking about?
Coronavirus
Holy crap I forgot about the RIPD movie, I saw a tiny bit of it when it can out on dvd and my high school girlfriends parents where watching it....for what I saw it was bad....but the game looks horrid...
I was fully expecting Virtual Hydlide to be on this thing.
At least the other attack on titan games play pretty well
Wheres geography class?
Did I just see a Healer-class zombie healing the Axe zombie via Mercy beam in RIPD?
Excuse me, what’s the music in 1:09?
Dead on Arrival. It's from the show's OST.
Most anime games now have no dub . I remember I bought The Simpsons hit and run at Kohl's
10:48 I do! Never saw it after theaters
Man you just unlocked my childhood memories of playing Mickey' s kitchen
Very good video! Although i'm surprised you did not mention that R.I.P.D The Game was a reskin of another game Atlus Published called God Mode. It's almost just as bad.
Can't believe you left out My World My Way. Shame on you.
Still love Summon Night: Swordcraft story for GBA
I absolutely adore that game
Maken: Demon Sword is really underrated and over shadowed by Maken X on Dreamcast that is the same game but in first person. I gave it a try and at first I found it hard and awkward to control, but something caught me in the game after 3 stages (the first, Hong Kong and then I made another save and went to Taj Mahal, which is pretty cool) the soundtrack is really good and it's not over used like in many budget games the only music that would repeat during stages would be the ambush theme but even that track is really energetic and doesn't overstay its welcome. Also the gameplay is really fast paced, yes I already played the dreamcast version but let me tell you although movement is easier and camera doesn't get all stuck, but in first person the game shows it's age on the control scheme a third person game is more appropriate to that control scheme my friend play both versions with me he said he liked the fast paced action but the dreamcast version doesn't feel as organic and makes dodging bullets harder because of the tiny FOV.
Some stages do look like crap (London and Greece being really dark and overtextured) when other levels look good aesthetically because of the use of vertex textures and good lighting, giving it a cleaner look, and the game has a really smooth framerate.
Also the enemy design is so good, sometimes even nightmare fuel.
The voice acting is bad but definitely more tolerable in Japanese which is the one chosen in the ps2 version.
The game has lots of flaws and I only recommend it if you like to play games like nightmare creatures because the game is really clunky when it wants to be and some enemies are really difficult to defeat, specially those with projectiles since they love to put them in tight corridors or small contained areas.
I honestly thought you were gonna talk about Game of Thrones or Virtual Hydlide
15:28 Wait, Atlus owns LJN? When and how did that happen? Various buyouts and LJN's backlog eventually fell into Atlus' lap?
Atlus made some of the games that ljn localized they didn't really own them
@@MrLagoas211 Oh, kind of like what happened with Yo Noid being an American reskin of Kamen No Ninja Hanamaru?
@@OnDavidsBrain almost but atlus actually did make the games the way they are all that ljn did was translate and publish them
@@OnDavidsBrain This was super common in the 8 bit and 16 bit console era to happen to games mostly to Japanese games but some time i happened with western games getting re skined for japan. See kemco in the 8 bit and 16 biit era for the worst offenders of this.
Acclaim technically owns LJN, just so you know
Holy shit I remember watching ripd a few times as a kid with my neighbours kid who was 2 or 3 years older than me and I remember both of us enjoying it but I totally forgot about it I should go back and watch it again see what my shitty taste was like as a kid thanks for reminding me dude lmao
What's the song at the beginning
I remember actually wanting to buy that attack on Titan game and went even more “oooo” because I saw Atlus on it 😞😞
Aw shieet, now we're going to look at crappy games.
Anybody here played Stella Glow? I Absolutely love it
Also, I do agree on the attack on Titan game. The PC games are far more better than the 3ds one
I have heard of Stella Glow, and I agree it was an absolute delight to play! It’s not a perfect game by any means, but it’s certainly one of Atlus’s underrated gems. It’s nice to see someone else who’s heard of it
I know I'm late but I really love playing Stella glow and I got both endings and I'm thinking I playing Stella glow again
you didnt mention that their are guns in the attack titan game???
Surprised you didn't mention Ronde, considering it was a spinoff of the SMT series. It may not be as bad, but it has pedigree in a way that the three mentioned here don't.
Karate Kid is the worst Atlus game. Everyone should know that. Fuck those people saying P4&5 are the worst in company history.
I remember that online attack on titan fanmade browser game and it was actually fun
Holy shit same wish i could find it again
Ever wanted to play air hockey on a 3 inch screen...WITH A PEN!
Only every moment I'm awake...said no one ever.
Atlus could have solved the AoT camera problem with a virtual dpad on the touchscreen like in monster hunter.
Don’t forget “Virtual Hydlide” even if they just published it. ;)
Why does that name seem familiar ??
Most likely either ProJared or the AVGN.
I remember having a lot of fun with the AoT game, despite it being janky as all hell. The Koei game does blow it out of the water though.
If there's one title I think you failed to mention, it's the 1997 Sega Saturn title Ronde, released exclusively in Japan as part of the Majin Tensei series within the Megami Tensei.
It's infamous for killing off the Majin Tensei series & for a demo that caused mass cancellation of pre-orders, with many calling it the worse Megami Tensei game ever to be released (Though, I think that's a bit harsh of a statement, considering that ALTUS was primarily focusing on development of Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers around the same time & the developers for Ronde [Multimedia Intelligence Transfer] had only worked on 2D titles in the series).
R.I.P.D was only 5 dollars. Removed PS store due to quality control.
I hate to say it but I would never be interested in Attack on Titan video games to begin with. I watched the first season of the anime, and while I liked it, I didn’t think it was that great tbh. I’m happy others love it so much, but it’s just not for me. Anyway dumb request but have you ever considered doing a list of your guilty pleasure video games? Maybe not from Atlus, as there are only a few games they’ve made that seem to be guilty pleasure material. But games that fit into that for me are games like the Hyperdimension Neptunia games lol. Have you considered making a list like that?
Ah, just what we all needed. Great work as always.
I thought you’d include Ronde. I heard that game killed the Majin Tensei subseries of SMT.
Yo, dude, WTF, Did I just saw "Rave party at Lucy´s" as "bad game" on the thumbnail?
(Rave party at Lucy´s= SMTIII)
Dancing games minus 4
i just downloaded persona 3 so it’s time to play an actually good atlus game
I have a physical copy of Persona 3 FEA, I haven’t played it yet. I’m busy playing Persona 5R and Persona 4 RN.
7:32
Wait a minute... Why do I feel like I recognize this? I remember playing some wack-ass mobile games from the app store YEARS ago and that game screen looks incredibly familiar.
I literally haven't thought about RIPD in at least 7 years
bruh
At least all of these games are obscure
Why is Jason on the thumbnail?
I can't believe 101 in 1 on the Wii was my first Atlus game. Funny thing about Wii and DS games being found in weird places, I got my copy from a Walgreens of all places.
category: Games - Persona 5
Something something all of them except nocturne
I would add to my list "Baroque" for Wii.
I just couldn't finish the game.
Ironically, there is a game that I think was called Wii U Club House games or something that is a collection of mini games that was considered very good. And there is a game that was revealed in the Nintendo Direct Mini that just happened which looks to be very similar. This new game prides itself on having a ton of games but people were genuinely excited for it.
