Reviewers have been getting this game all wrong. It's obviously supposed to be a horror game about a world where everyone is a Reddit user
lol nice
@@luciensanchez1200 so, Postal 4 but reversed
The hate for this game is embarrassing
🤣
@@boomerthedingo2196 Its this "game" thats embarrasing.
Justin is the kind of guy that tells a good joke then inmediately ruins it by not shutting the fuck up for the next hour
Reminds me how he did a stream with Ninja and other dude to promote Fallout 76 and most of the time he made the other 2 cringe.
The irony in it is, if you walk away mid sentence, they dont continue their dialogue like any other game, they actually comment on how rude you are and shut up.
Without Dan Harmond to keep him focused and not bouncing off the walls with 1,000 jokes per minute, this is what you get.
@@demonslayer5122 Dan Harmond is a hack
@@demonslayer5122 reminds me of the episode of harmontown where he brought roiland as a guest and he spent most of his stage time making jokes about wanting to kill himself and just generally finding other ways to make the audience uncomfortable while dan basically just kept going "dude, stop" lol
Let's not forget that Roiland's writing is aimed at high IQ individuals that stand on counters at McDonald's yelling lines from the show and screaming over a dipping sauce.
Redditors are diseased freaks
Actually plenty of minimum wage workers actually hustled boxes of it on eBay & just said they were out. *Then* the riot happens. Actually that dude had a 10 minute cut where he actually eats out of a dumpster to get to the sauce but while it's very real it's obvious he's doing it for the meme at his own detriment. Next thing he knows he's world famous but not in the good way. Good luck finding that deepcut, even roiland/Harmon avoided it
@@LabiaLicker”4chan” users are worse because they are alt right Neo Nazis and answer to their master Donald Trump.
@@cartoonvideos5 Whos 4chan?
It baffles me how many people think that clip of the guy flipping out on the McDonald's counter was real. It's well known he did it as a troll/meme and he hated how most morons took it at face value thinking it's genuine. Like OP here!
Thanks for being the first reviewer to say "Co creator of Rick and Morty" every review I've seen left our poor man Dan Harmon out and said "From the creator of Rick and Morty." lol
not that dan harmon is not a pathetic beta male though.
if you're interested in why i said that, there's a video of him delivering a monologue about how he loves watching other men do his wife and describes himself as the cuckoo word
I doubt Dan remembers where's he himself has been the past 48 weeks
Dan Harmon sucks @ss, most of the funny from the show came from Justin Roiland, and as we can see Roiland's humor isn't aging well at all. Rick and Morty has been garbage since season 3 when Roiland left.
@@puertoricanboy100 What a pointless and badly worded comment
Dan is a waste 🙄
A dedicated "shut the fuck up" button could've added an ocean of depth to this game's dialogue
There is one, it's the primary fire button. Though it doesn't always work.
There is an option to turn the chatter down. Call me crazy but I love the ranting, it’s funny how much it drives me insane which IS the joke 😂
its in the options
If you want to turn the dialogue off, Id say the game isnt for you
there is an option for that
Justin just wants to infest the world with the morty voice
@Punkrock Noir The first season was decent then it became flanderized
@@R-SXX no lmao, think of it like amy schumer
no real person thinks her jokes are funny, only the hivemind entities that somehow always attend her "comedy" shows do
@@Grandmaster-Kush flanderized is the perfect example of what happened.
@R S I personally find it hilarious. But there's enough people out there that hate it to prove to everyone that humor is subjective
@@R-SXX Justin roiland is like marmite. You love him or hate him
You know there's a thing called "drug abuse" and "alcohol abuse", well this game has "talking abuse"
The writer is guilty of all three counts.
The ole Roiland special
Yeah but the difference between the three is that drug and alcohol abuse is actually fun.
Justin abused me, talking style
@@sandercohen9712 Alcohol abuse yes. Drug abuse no.
The writing is on the same level as a bunch of friends who get together to make a comedy film. They think they're all funny enough that they can just riff & it'll be gold.
@2 Corinthians 4:7-11 it was made by a schizophrenic Karen
It's an entire game dedicated to those moments in rick and morty where the joke goes on for way too long. Yay.
I think this is why comedic games don't really work like you'd think. Games are way too long and filled with ambient downtime for it to hold up from start to finish. Most people don't watch an entire season of Rick and Morty or South Park back to back, it's tiring.
@@BlueZirnitra idk man, I think they can definitely work. The deadwood game is a good example. It's just Justin roiland sucks.
@@BlueZirnitra Stick of Truth is actually a pretty decent game, in part because it had the bones of a real video game underneath it all. Comedy can work in video games. It just has to be willing to backseat to gameplay sometimes. You can't have 24/7 jokes every second. You can wrap gameplay elements in comedic terms but they still have to ultimately contain solid gameplay.
@@TheSamuraiGoomba the best example I can think of is Armed and Dangerous for the original Xbox. The writing was a masterclass comedy and the gameplay, while very straightforward, was also great and the characters actually weren't talking non stop during gameplay plus it incorporated humor into the gameplay in interesting ways (like the shark gun which fires land swimming sharks that do about what you expect)
Silence player protag is worse missing opportunity ever!
Finally, Gearbox has a competitor when it comes to writing
Justin looks a lot like Randy Pitchford, too. Coincidence?
@@BeraltofSmivia you never see the two in the same place at the same time
Finally a worthy opponent. Our battle will be legendary!
This for people who think sausage party is funny
@@EnclavefakesoldierJustin Roiland is Illuminati confirmed.
Apparently, the phrase "brevity is the soul of wit" is something the writers never heard of.
"Rules are meant to be broken."
Did William Shakesman said that?
Brevity is … wit.
Not that this game's writing is good, but that phrase was part of a joke that was specifically about the character who said it being long-winded and rambling on for an excessive amount of time.
I couldn't even finish watching this review. How anyone finds this bullshit funny really makes me feel like the alien. Juvenile man child humour. Doesn't need to be pretentious or the "200 IQ" humour just something of actual substance with even a small amount of thought put in. Screaming and talking constantly is not humour, it's Ghostbusters 2016.
Justin's comedic timing is 'non-stop all the time'
Justin Roiland's writing style seems great for this bits in games where you just see two NPC's arguing with each other and you can ease drop in on their conversation for a quick giggle. Not an entire game though
Like the thugs in Arkham lol
Eavesdrop
This 100%
NOLF > Justin
@@alexsilva28 IT'S DA BAT‼️
It's not fair to say Roiland can only do one voice.
He can actually only do two.
ah yes.
Morty and Evil Morty
Nah Justin has range he just rarely uses it which is frustrating.
Lemongrab is that Morty voice to an extreme, shrill shrieking and creepy mumbling.
Rick Sanchez is actually unique because he does kinda sound like some drunk father figure.
Everyone forgets about Lemongrab yet he's my favorite character out of all the ones he's ever voiced. I honestly think he purposely reuses a lot of voices (Rick, Morty and that constantly used background character voice in Rick and Morty) because they're easily recognizable and the fans love em. I not only don't mind him always reusing them, it brings me this weird sense of mental comfort and makes the dialogue more funny because of my association of them with R&M. Especially that background character voice lol, it never gets old and always cracks me up.
@@jimmypeeps8471 wait wait, lemongrab as in the lemonhead guy from adventure time that shrieks 'UNACCEPTABLLLLLLLLLE'?
@@bungbananaman
Whatchu talking about. Everyone knows Rick is just old drunk Morty. You really need to look at Roiland's Morty scale by which he tunes every single performance!
I won't lie that the second I saw the sister's model, I immediately thought that her model, along with the the voice and lines, belonged in some of the games GMan has covered, and I now feel validated that he more or less thought the same.
I honestly thought she looked like spiderverse gwen stacy
some characters look like a rule 34 bait tbh
@@jayceallen6530Gwen would never
This is like that "cursed gun" quest in Borderlands 2, a gun so horrible that it drove multiple wielders to insanity. Turns out it's just a gun that screams at you. This game is like that gag gun, but done unironically, for several hours.
Bane: The Game
The most irritating part is the Justin Roiland speech pattern in every character voiced by him lol. Everyone stutters like a lobotomized Neanderthal
@Lachlan Thompson wu wu wu wull y yya you g got me th th there gg g guy!
Lol!
You need a very big brain to understand how funny babbling, poorly-delivered jokes that continue 180 seconds past the punch line are...
To write dialogue that evokes the physical sensation of slowly choking to death while a smoke alarm is going off right by your head as you're desperately crawling out of your apartment, and stretching that for 10 hours, is an achievement really. Just watching the game feels absolutely suffocating...
This got more of a laugh out of me then this shit excuse of a game ever will.
@@oldsnake7848 idk man, the game is pretty funny.
Game is funnier than you dipshits will ever try to be lmao
@@oldsnake7848 odd I liked it
Right. But... have you even played it?
The “jokes” in the game bundles down to “this thing won’t happen” and then the thing happens, swearing, and repeating the punch line of the joke over and over again.
Those RLM boys have bad luck with their celebrity friends.

It's not a Justin Roiland creative IP without the weird incest vibes
I didn't see that at all on this review
@@kenetickups6146 I mean the sister somehow gives me those vibes.
You're talking about Dan Harmon
@@MrDN83 that sounds more like an issue with you than the game, unless there are more specific examples
Yeah, no. That's Dan Harmon.
I swear this game's writing is like watching the longest conversation between two oblivion npc's ever, like they just kept asking each other for news from the other provinces.

@@BathrobeHero I am on crusade to torture this guy til Elder Scrolls 6 comes out so yeah Nazeem I am sorry nothing personal
4 NPCs by NPCs
Accurate
The more I hear/see about this game, the more it sounds like Justin Roiland doing a fandub of him playing ‘Oddworld: Stranger’s Wrath.’ Even the character designs look a lot like AI generated art that was ‘’’’’inspired’’’’’ by Oddworld.
The epitome of "More doesn't always mean better"
Also why does the shotgun doesn't have that "punch" to it? it looks like every shot is a wet blanket hit
Right? Enemies should be flying along with limbs. The screen should be shaking and that goop the enemies have should be getting sheared clean off.

I’d like to report a murder.
Ooooweeee…
thank god im not anthony burch
@@ProgEnjoyer397 if theres on christmas present we can all appreciate its definitely that.
Well except for Anthony Burch.
I think the problem with Justin’s writing boils down to the fact that it’s already run it’s course and hasn’t evolved at all, his humour style is basically a blend of “everyone’s an asshole”, stream of conscience rambling and a few well written moments. It’s like gross out humour for the cynical, it’s why I think Rick and Morty did so well in its initial seasons and slowly lost its shine over time.
It's a one trick pony thing for sure. I feel like this dude spent most of his childhood just being this goofy joker making these voices and the novelty launched his career. The problem is everything he makes seems to be basically the same. He's that funny friend who doesn't know how to stop except he's world famous and you see him everywhere.
It's the kind of thing you laugh at once but becomes obnoxious very quickly. Once you pinpoint how the gimmick works, every joke becomes entirely identical and ceases to be funny. You realize the guy is just wasting your time with inane nonsense and wink wink nudge nudging you every couple seconds in hopes you'll laugh and think he's so fucking clever.
Lost it's shine after the first season
@@TheSamuraiGoomba I’d argue he can write funny dialogue, like Gman brought up but you’re right, you can often see the joke coming a mile away. Like whenever he has a character that appears to be friendly or heroic or nice, the joke is either going to be that they’re actually really evil, disgusting or an asshole or they die in a horrific way or suffer because that’s the punchline.
He does scripted comedy like Rick and morty and solar opposites well but when it comes down to his games they all seem ad-libbed and he just drones on and on while it was funny in that VR game this time around its cringey and absolutely lost me after 30 minutes of gameplay I honestly just play it muted.
Justin's humor is like a guy telling a pretty decent joke and instead of laughing at it he just goes on and on with the bit until it becomes extremely unfunny.
THAT'S THE JOKE
@@atari2600b That's ruining a joke.
@@matturner6890 if you have a high enough iq to truly appreciate it the first time around the drawn out deconstructionist explanation of it's humour becomes funny again. You know, like the big bang theory. yeah everybody hates it. But if you're autistic & have taken apart Ubuntu a couple of times to the point where you've moved on, it starts getting pretty freaking funny again
Justin Roiland: Haha cartoon character excessively swearing funny
I really want Justin Roiland to write something without voicing in it. I think he's really good at writing animated comedy 9 times out of 10, but the delivery is destroyed by half of the script being performed by one of his two voices.
His writing is actually good but it's not fun hearing him use the same voice over and over again, I actually used to like Rick and morty, and it's immersion breaking just hearing the same voice
roiland is as funny as throat cancer
Wow, it's almost like his style of comedy has gotten stale, n this whole irony thing has been to death n we've hit a creative ceiling.
@@GloryOfBarbelo and yet here you are...
Roiland genuinely seems to understand how to write stories and characters (most of the time), but he constantly undermines his own work with "self-aware" meta bullshit. It's like he can't just a story be its own thing without smashing the 4th wall and loudly proclaiming "THIS IS FICTION".
He also needs to cut the ad-lib crap. It kills the pace, tone, and overall consistency of the work 9 times out of 10.
Justin Roiland isn’t even bad at telling jokes- they can land quite often. It’s just that in his games, for some reason he insists on 1,000 of them being told every minute, and that makes every good one a *lot* less funny.
Still, at least they were aware enough to make an option to lower all the fucking talking. Those voice actors had to have gotten a fucking massive paycheck, I swear.
nice pfp bro
I'm 4 hours into the game and i've laughed maybe 5 times, and all of those times the jokes were the least obnoxius ones. The rest of the "jokes" are the characters describing tropes or telling you what to do 50 times a second. I like some of the platforming and the gameplay is competent, if it weren't for that i'd be having a horrible time.
(I'm playing from a shared library i wouldn't pay for this)
@@empanadasfordays4324 the gameplay to me is the most boring thing about it, the dialogue and jokes are what keeps me playing lol. I love this and Rick and morty so that’s probably why
I Wish there was an option in life to make people like you shut the fuck up; go find another sus anime pfp and keep your dumbass opinions to yourselves for fucks sake you people are insufferable with your pretentious opinions
Feels like he wrote it baked and never bothered having another few drafts when he was sober to check if the ramblings were actually funny.
It's insane that the skits where you put up out-of-context punchlines from the simpsons for less than a second is funnier then the full on uninterrupted minute of swearing and awkward voice-acting trying to act like something that isn't funny is comedy gold preceding it.
My problem with the game is there’s so many points where I can see that they’re parodying an annoying/bad game mechanic like the scanning section but the punch line is just that they’re going to make you do it anyways
From the first second this game was shown I knew the talking Morty gun would have driven people insane. And it did.

@@TheManWhoTypes Thanks, I'll fix it

Portal 2 had some of the funniest dialogues, especially when Wheatley was talking at any one point. Its one of those things where you gotta understand your audience, and not baby feed them the jokes.

Shameless plug for Gman's Patreon: his report of the game on the Discord channel can be best described as Gman's descent to madness.
I'm not surprised, Justin Roiland isn't for everyone. I even get exhausted watching Rick and Morty. Smiling Friends is much better nowadays. My problem with him is the fact that his bits take over actually telling a story on his show

I think you hit the nail on the head. The game is a vehicle for this style of writing/comedy, and the gameplay is an accessory to that. In many ways, this game reminded me of the "walking sims" of a few years back. Just without the puzzles
I’m not a big fan of Rick and morty but when this game came out, oh boy I am still not a big fan of Rick and mort

It's fine, not everyone can understand such intellectual humor
To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Rick and Morty. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also Rick's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Rick & Morty truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Rick's existential catchphrase "Wubba Lubba Dub Dub," which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Dan Harmon's genius wit unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools.. how I pity them. 😂
And yes, by the way, i DO have a Rick & Morty tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel kid 😎
@@CrispyTurtl3 nice 😂
@@CrispyTurtl3 Bruh you beat me to it 🤣
The Arnold "Shut up!" was great.
I really enjoy this game. I think the put a lot of thought and care into the world, and it shows. From the start till you can free roam is a little lengthy. After that the pistol tones down the chatter, and there is even an option to determine how much it does so

@@R-SXX very good point!
I feel this should have been a Rick & Morty game with Harmon on board.
He's funny but when you say 1000 jokes an second some of them are probably funny. Just needs the right person to write down the funny ones.
@@Mockthenerd Dude! That's really insightful :) hope he sees this comment someday :)
Dan Harmon is a degenerate and a SJW dipshit.
I played through the whole game on Xbox One S, and I'd give it an 8/10. It's a very solid shooter, a very nice looking game (even on last gen) and I think the game nailed the pacing. I'm not particularly a fan of Justin Roiland and I didn't really care for Rick and Morty, but I love Justin's performance in this game. I think due to my lack of exposure with Justin, the comedy works, or it's just because I'm a total smoothbrain. I used Kenny about 80% of the time, mostly just because his mechanics are pretty simple to understand, and quite frankly, I liked his dialogue. I found myself at least a dozen times standing around and doing nothing while I listened to an NPC/Enemy talk just because I enjoyed the dialogue that much. The story is compact, but the game itself is pretty lengthy, and doesn't deal with too many themes. There's a subplot about Kenny telling the other Gatlians about how he caused the complete downfall of his entire civilization, and I believe the tonal dissonance between his actions and the plot as it unfolds is very good humor to me. Nearly every character in this game is extremely memorable, from Gene, to Kenny and the other Gatlians, to Garmantuous, Knifey, etc, and even minor characters like the two characters at the slum gates (I forgot their names), the Mackincheese brothers, to the alternate Gene Zaroothian and the guy who sells alien cum. Overall, I really enjoyed it.
the name speaks for itself. you simply MUST be high for this to work in any way whatsoever.
On crack, maybe
Tried it stoned and all I had to show for it was a raging migraine
I love that this game is perfect for Gman’s cuts to random dialogue
I think one of the major problems with Justin's writing is that his jokes could be good, like take for instance the city you destroy
That couldve been a really funny joke but he doesnt know how to pull back and let the joke hit he just keeps going on and on and it ends up killing what couldve been an actually funny joke
Like for the kid, if the kid was just annoying and shit and you just shot him, pure silence and maybe a look from your gun wouldve been infinitely more funny than the drawn out sequence they went with
Yeah, for instance the end joke where they get covered in goop. I think it would've hit more if the gun just gagged and then vomited all over the player's arm since the face is aimed backwards. That'd work because of just the spontaneity of it, and also the absurdity of a gun vomiting. If you wanted to extend it you could make it so they have to cover themselves again because of the vomit, and then the next time the player flips the gun to face the other direction while the gun vomits, possibly also including a "accidental emissions" joke where the gun fires while facing towards the player.
This is 100% right. It makes me cringe when jokes aren't allowed to land by themselves, it's like the assumption is we're stupid if they have to be explained directly afterwards, it's like you don't even get chance to hear the punch line.
@@kellalizard I feel like the dude doesn't know what even a punchline is, or to use them, so he just stretches the joke itself till HE thinks it's "funny".
@@jonatanrobledo9812 It's the classic comedic technique of telling so many jokes so rapidly that the audience doesn't have a chance to realize that none of them are funny. Contrary to what some believe the first two seasons of rick n morty were not written like that, they showed restraint and it played to Justin's strengths. He's a talented actor, he just needs to be kept far, FAR away from a keyboard.
@@kellalizard This reminds me of a great example from Leslie Nielsen in "Police Squad", where he just walks around the walls of the set, instead of going through a door.
It's solely visual, incredibly short and nobody acknowledges it - it's great.
If they did this kind of joke here, a character would have a five minute diatribe about the whole thing, thus completely ruining it.
Pretty sure telling an Aussie he can't say the C word is a hate crime.
Roiland doesn't have comedic timing, he just rambles on until something eventually sticks.
The one joke that you liked about crushing the tiny city was ripped off from, and done better in, Psychonauts
Lungfishopolis was such a great level! I love the part where Raz accidentally kills the lungfish by talking to loud.
I think Roiland is just learning the difference between writing a TV show and writing a game.
In a TV show, you can write drive-by comedy punctuated by frequent scene changes.
In a videogame, the player is there THE ENTIRE TIME.
@hamter463 eh most learning happens through experience. Now that he's written a game, he might do it differently if there's a next time.
Yeah I like RnM but when I first saw and heard the trailers for this game months ago, didn't do anything for me. Michale Scott "this is the worst" face.

Yeah it’s confirmed it was all false allegations. I knew he would never do something like that. Why would he risk his reputation over some nasty shit like that. Man is a legend and I’m glad it was all false
@@dutchmasterssss3902he’s not a legend
It's actually quite a decent entertaining shooter. And GMan, congrats on your first acting gig as knifey ... Had me in stitches
If you can ignore the constant talking it's acceptable, but for me, Journey to the Savage Planet, Borderlands (probably 3 or Wonderlands) or Desync would just do a better job at what this attempts
You can tell it's smart comedy because they keep telling you it is
When?
That’s how I feel listening to Rick & Morty bros.
This is the best interlaced editing in any gmanlives video imo. From the simpsons “and it goes on like this” (4:28), to the “SHUT UP!”s (intro, 5:02, 12:26, 22:14) I’ve been crying the whole video
If the goal of the humor was to send the player into a murderous rage for gameplay purposes it works.
I think Justin nails doing the funny voices, but he has like 4 jokes, and one is the im gonna drag this joke or situation for so long joke and they get old they get old fast.
So rather than just voice the main character, Roiland decides to make all the weapons in the game sentient creatures, voicing the most obnoxious one himself. What could possibly go wrong
The dialogue in this game made me want to perish and this is coming from someone who has Borderlands as one of their favourite game series
I'll even take BL3 over this because at least there you don't have to deal with Roiland's whiny voice shouting in your ear every three seconds
Gus and Creature are great though, love those funny little guys
Let’s be honest, we all watch Gman for the deadpanned delivered mom jokes lmao, as for the game i was playing this yesterday a few beers deep, accepted a bounty but ended up having my character idle in the living room because Tammy and the T-Rex came on the in game tv and i got pretty into it, that i gotta admit was kinda cool lol
I do think it's funny him calling the dialogue vulgar. He's the most vulgar youtuber I watch. Surprised I didn't fill out my "arsehole" bingo card on this video.
The thing is, Gman doesn't use these jokes constantly or randomly rambles. He knows when to stop, when to pause. That's what this game fails at, horribly at that
Sounds like Gus is voiced by JB Smoove who is a certified gem. Saw him irl once, and glad that dude is still dishing out great work (he was also one of the teachers in the recent spider-man movies along side martin starr)
He was so funny in Curb your Enthusiasm
@@moosepotato4116 leon is the man
Yes, only gun in the game that didn't annoy me.
Zack is the best voice in this I'm pretty sure he did this when he did smiling friends or anything
This makes me wonder and be glad that something Like the Portal series was not written and voiced by Justin Roiland
This game may as well been an episode of Rick and Morty.
"We have rick and morty at home"
The stuttering morty voice was fine for morty but I feel like the guy wants every character he voices to just be morty at this point
The coke lines on the mirror tho 1:22
Lmao
>"from the creator of Rick and Morty..."
you already lost me.
Justin Roiland is probably a very funny guy. When you hang out with him, he will probably make hilarious observations that will make you laugh hard. But if everyone in the world talks like he does it absolutely doesn’t work- and I feel that way with a lot of his work.
@Jersh’s pigeon you must have some anger issues
I don't think so. I think he is subversive in a really bad way. I could not get past the 3rd episode of Rick and Morty's first season. Why? Because in that episode the writer promotes interracial cuckolding. Morty's grandfather is cucked by his grandmother who is sleeping with a black man, and then Morty's mom and sister approve of it and chastise their father for having the normal reaction of being horrified!
its just not something you enjoy but many people do...
I don’t like Justin
"Ah you shot me im dead" lmao
This feels like a simple question of "do you enjoy Rick and Morty?" yes or no answer.
Isn't it discriminatory to ban Australians for using the c-word?
"From the creator of Rick & Morty..." and that's gonna be a no from me chief.
Go watch big mouth
@@xApplesauceFTWx No
Big mouth is fucking terrible
Rick & Morty is a bit like reverse Beavis and Butt-Head. Beavis and Butt-Head is stupid humor for people who aren't actually stupid.
@@kenetickups6146 no
Its like what Adult Swim (excluding a couple standout shows) has become nowadays encapsulated into a game's writing
I still hope Primal gets another season but I sadly doubt it. Squidbilies ended awhile back and Aqua Teen Hunger Force no longer gets new episodes (to my knowledge) but still airs thankfully. Old Adult Swim was glorious, with shows like Metalocalypse getting a few laughs outta me
The best show on Adult Swim was World Peace.
Change my mind.
The highlight of this game is watching Tammy and the T-Rex with no commentary.
1990s: Looked shit, great games.
2020s: Looks great, shit games.
This is giving me Ratchet And Clank " Remake " vibes where no-one will stfu every 7 seconds
B u y t h e p i x e l a t o r
This is what happens when a writer become successful with a show and then thinks that everything that craps out of his mouth is gold.
I will say it is kinda nice to get a somewhat linear shooter in recent times since most games that come out now especially action games are open world sandboxes with nothing to do in them
We got a rick and morty "game" but no Xavier Renegade Angel game. What an evil world we live in
I quite like Rick & Morty, but whenever I see something else from the creator I always get the feeling that the guy is a one trick pony. He pretty much only writes Rick & Morty but in a different setting.
Omfg just listening to them through your video was brutal enough. Freaking awful.
It's kind of telling that Gman's one laughing positive moment in this game's writing is the demolishing of an entire tiny civilization lol
P.s. Tammy and The T-Rex was the best lol

Gman: gets married
Pastor: *sniggers* your name is Mervin...?
This is honestly one of my biggest problems with adult animated shows we get now days. A lot of today's writers honestly think having characters contsantly swear every god damn second throwing F bombs is somehow considered funny. And they also think mature = needless, bloody & gruesome violence. It just feels like people now days working on a lot of entertainment projects don't fully understand or just don't want to understand what actually counts as mature or funny. You know someone fucked up when I find Tom & Jerry shorts from 1940's funnier then any so called modern takes on humour.
We need more adult animation like Primal.
@@michaelknox3715 Or Spawn The Animated Series. Does anyone even remember that show?
@@Asaylum117 I remember it faintly, my dad introduced it to me when I was 16 and I thought it was really cool
@@Asaylum117
I remember Spawn Series from HBO.
At times it felt very calm with the sadness and melancholy of someone who lost everything and yet the suffering doesn't end simply there.
Batman Animated Series was the same in that regard and had very mature topics in some episodes which you didn't really see nowadays.
40s Tom and jerry is timeless lmao

lol
It sounded exactly like you said, that they just went in with minimal script and improvised. All that stuttering makes me think they're making up stuff on the spot. It does happen a lot in his work though so it might just be that. Roiland works with Rick and Morty because there are other writers and people to keep it tighter. I would say that show has gone down hill too though.
I'm sure the rick and morty audience will enjoy this game lmao
This game is literally made to specifically cater to them, i'm convinced. This isn't for normal folk.
doubt it. I like Rick and Morty just fine and I could barely sit through the clips used for this review
I havent watched a single episode, and enjoyed this game, such a VIBES 🔥🔥
@@Damian_1989 lmfao go and look at pretty much ANY other comment section, 9/10 people who play think it's fun and like it, I'm starting it tomorrow... This comment section is just toxic
@@jh.f30 so, how was it?
I can't believe they got SuperStar Rich Evans to do a voice in this game, amazing!
I know! They had to have thrown massive money at him. You don't snag stars like that on a whim.
It broke new ground
They also got Susan!
This really makes that Justin Roland cameo on RLM make more sense
I can't believe Mike let him out of the pit long enough to go record
After even after just watching the game, I feel exhausted from the sheer endless amount of dialogue, it's amazing how they pulled this of.
Portal 2 is how you do humor right. The characters are well written. The humor has right timing. And all without a single swear word save for the occasional "damn" and "hell".
More importantly, the gameplay is actually fun.
This sounds like the Borderlands 3 problem. Great game play, Terrible writing like holy crap shoot me now
I mean I kinda enjoying High on Life and I'm a Borderlands 3 mega stan but I can get that. Still annoying to me when BL3's writing is booed but I still get the criticism.
@@michaelknox3715 bl2 is better
All borderlands had really obnoxious "humor", but BL1 and BL2 were atleast abit more restrained BL3 went full r*tard, never go full r*tard - Kirk Lazarus
@@paz1514 Hhaha true!!
Justin has one character and one joke, but I'm obviously just not smart enough to get it.
