I am so happy I never have to look at this game ever again. Thank all of you that hung out while I was streaming. If you want to come check out my streams in the future, then give a follow to my twitch! www.twitch.tv/jarek4gamingdragon
I don't know why, but the reviews for shitty games like this is more enjoyable than the actual game itself
Yeah seing him bash bad games is pretty entertaining. But watching actual game reviews is why i like this channel. And regardless of his frustaition i still felt like it was a reasonable review.
@@watsonwarrior8002 that's true
vietnam 2 special assignment. Made by Valuesoft It is a guilty pleasure. You will hate and love it all at once
Have you tried second sight? Would love to see your analysis on that game and the company that made it. (Free Radical?)
Your name: John Chaser, Chasemarine. Your mission: to chase.
The chaser has become the chosed
Contrary to what this pr.ick Jarek is saying *CHASER IS A GREAT GAME* I am not even kidding. I just finished it and I can say it was amazing. This guy is obviously a mor.on for calling it bad. Even IGN and Gamespot gave it 8/10 and 7.5 out of 10. Seriously if you dont believe me go look it up. This guy can not be serious.
@@za7004 ign's ratings mean nothing
@@za7004 It's an opinion calm the hell down
@Bzake You are not even competent to say that, considering the fact you haven't even been born when this game came out. Go watch your cringey tik toks kiddo

Ah one of the great Funhaus quotes.
u should play UberSoldier II (Crimes of War) .... it was good a game ....
The first one was alright never played the second one.
I second this. It’s one of the weirdest FPS games I’ve ever played (in terms of gunplay).
I watched funhause play play Uber soldier 2 it was Amazing
Holy shit, somebody remebers the Ubersoldiers series. Nice.
Can't remember your backstory and need to go to Mars...Total Recall?
Fun fact: in Russian localisation this game is literally called: "Chaser: Total Recall"
An unofficial Total Recall FPS!? Sweet, I'll grab it next sale.
@@Gruntvc Yeah... this is little strange.
Original film: Total Recall.
Russian Localisation of Film: Вспомнить всё (Remember everything or Total Recall).

This was the game that got me into insidegaming (aka Funhaus)

@@TotesMagee THE SUIT JUST MAKES ME HYPER-AWARE OF THE PAIN!
"This game also came out in 2003, so there's not really the technology behind what they wanted to do." Well... 2003 was also the year we got "Max Payne 2", a game which at the time was considered almost photorealistic. Heck, it even featured slow motion like "Chaser", but implemented with more care and love. Ugly human beings are forgivable. Ugly games have no excuse.
Spoiler alert, the plot is like this. You chaser protagonist is actually the antagonist you are chasing after. Chaser died when you the Corp agent killed him. And you made the surgery in the space station where you woke up from, and erased your memories, since you are a Corp agent wants to be an undercover in a rebel group. Every time you magically saved during the game, are actually saved quietly from Corp. In the end, after you shot rebel leader, your Corp boss shot you, since you are an expandable asset when a case is closed. You are a Corp agent is confirmed when you play the game tutorial, instead of chaser you think you are.
yeah actually this plot is not that bad is just you can see it a mile before you even finish the story
So, as Shadow Cookie says, the Bad Guy Wins and none of the whole mess even matters. Fuck this game. :)
Hello again! Excellent review of another obscure game that I myself finished years ago. It came for free with a magazine and looked kind of fun at first - admittedly, I was young and welcoming of any free game. However, once again I couldn't agree more. Every single level felt bland and took forever to beat. The weird difficulty certainly didn't help. Even worse, the story completely left me behind eventually. I kept pushing on, wandering cities, frozen wastelands, sewers and the surface of Mars - only to find myself questioning: "Why am I doing this again?" I still remember that the last mission bugged out on me, causing some sort of sequence break - but it didn't matter. When the ending played, I had absolutely no idea what was going on. I just felt cheated because they pull that bothersome 'your character dies / loses in the end' prank. So none of the whole mess even mattered. It really is a shame, I feel that this game had some potential. Instead you are just traveling from location to location, waiting for something to happen that never quite happens. Fun fact: In the German version they gave the main character the voice of Bruce Willis. The actor does a fine job, but he sounded bored throughout the whole thing, as if there was nothing to work with. Oh wait, there was none.
Chaser seems like it's a game made out of leftovers from their other projects. In order to use all these random & very different levels & assets they had to fit them into some tangible story that would make sense of why these random levels exist in this game, hence the very strange & all over type of story. I kidd you not, that's exactly what happened.
Geist (Game Cube) is a good hidden Gem
GameCube and 6th gen consoles had a lot of good shooters
I was big on EA’s 007 games
Really wish Nintendo/Japan would take a crack at another wacky FPS like Geist.
Really miss thst kind of out of the box thinking the West pretty much refuses to do now.
Personally I found Geist to be one of the worst titles on GC
Why dont devs try their game before relasing?
Don't know, that's something to ask many a AAA dev these days.
Oh wait, they got rid of playtesters and give us the honour of being unpaid beta testers. Hooray.
@@Gruntvc Lol. Thats so stupid. You are paying millions to a game yet you dont perfect it before relase, you are doing busniess yet you dont do quality control on it. So stupid.
@@Cc2DotCom isn't so stupid when dumbasses pay to be their testers, the guy above is 100% correct. People have zero standards theses days and buy everything regardless of quality.
WTH? Are you people du..mb? I played this game and it was rather good. Than I looked up the reviews and even IGN and Gamespot gave it 7.5/10 and 8/10 back in the day when it came out. No one, and I mean no one regards Chaser as a bad game except for this pr..i.ck Jarek. Why dont you just play the thing instead of blindly believing him like sheeps?
@@za7004 plenty of bad games get decent reviews when they're released. Driv3r, Perfect Dark Zero, your only defense is calling him a prick. Why are you so mad
I got a lot of obscure shooters you could look at off the top of my head: Red Steel, SWAT: Global Strike Team, Darkwatch, Land of the Dead: Road to Fiddler’s Green, Total Overdose, Project Snowblind, Geist, The Conduit, GoldenEye: Rogue Agent, Raze’s Hell, Bad Boys: Miami Takedown, Unreal Championship, Unreal Championship 2: The Liandri Conflict, Reservoir Dogs, 25 to Life, Brute Force, Coded Arms, Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, Bionicle Heroes, Breakdown, Cold Winter. Sorry if that’s a bit much for you Jarek but I think it’ll give you some good material.
...
I have 40 hours logged into this game...
I don't remember what compelled me to play it another time (Other then no internet WIFI), whats stranger is, I've met folks who openly enjoyed it, even calling it their favorite game. I mean, to each their own, eh'?
Honestly the game doesn't look too bad. I'm totally gonna play it one day.
Glam Stachee May god have mercy on your soul, child.
@@GlamStacheessnostalgialounge I enjoyed the game it was solid. This reviewer sounds like a spoiled kid, there is nothing wrong with the game.
@@djole-et9bm tbh the only complaint I would have is horrible pacing and that second mission aside from that not too bad.
i remember this game , ptsd ...
My youtube crashed and brought me tom my home screen as soon as you said im done and got up.
watsonwarrior
My RUclips app crashed at the same spot 😆
This game is seriously cursed huh
Chaser is my childhood game so it's one of my favorite games ever and i guess nostalgia carries me through the game
Yep, same for me. I actually love Chaser, it's one of those games with vibes from Total Recall. Also have some feel of danger if you play it without saving during the level. And of course glass, one of the best glass physics implementation in FPS.
Complaining about a game from 2003 not having environmental destruction? Yeah that seems fair. Call of Duty, Postal and XIII really had a lot of that.
The illusion of taking chunks out of walls=/=environmental destruction. Fear came out two years later and had this visual effect.
@@Jarekthegamingdragon Fear has better looking destruction than most games for years after it's release, including it's own sequel.
Coming Back here after Civvie also survived this dread.
I remember playing this as a kid, bought a game magazine and it came with a copy of it.
I still vaguely remember the opening stage of this game, kinda cool to see someone else talking about it so many years later.
Have you tried Cryostasis: Sleep of Reason or You are Empty? They're both spooky Russian games with interesting ideas and I think they'd fit this series well.
You Are Empty is actually Ukranian but yeah, both games are worth checking out for their atmosphere alone, although their flaws are evident (YAE being too slow and CSoR being poorly optimized)
@TheOro44 Cryostasis too 😉
The underwater section is awful. I spent an hour completely lost, even a video walkthrough didn't help me. I was unable to finish the game.
Have you tried the original Red Faction yet? The look of some of these stages remind me of it.
I liked this game, quick strafing out of cover left-right while split second reaction shooting. Plus aware of all surroundings feeling like 1 shot - you killed!
Yep, it's like a sci-fi tactical shooter. Most people will never understand it.
@@ducreat Understand that it's shit?
@George White I don't believe everything he says either. I just watch these to give me ideas on what to play.
He tried to play Soldier of Fortune 2 like a Quake-style game while it's more of tactical shooter and hated it as a result.
@George White Eh, some of his complaints are valid. Levels that are long as hell, controls not being responsive enough, etc. But, the rest is usually him just being terrible at playing/progressing. Maybe he just gets stressed while streaming or recording, idk.
@@DiegoAlanTorres96 There is a Custom difficulty which makes the weapon accuracy better and easier to play it sof1 style.
Jarek out here doin’ the lords work, going through a full play through of Chaser for a review
Since you like somewhat mediocre (or hidden gems) and somewhat obscure/lost to time games, I'd suggest playing Devastation, 2003, developed by Digitalo Studios. I have some fond memories of the game, it would be great to see you review it!
Played a lot of that, back in time.
Hi man, could u do Delta Force BHD? I love your channel! Keep it up!
The story is like someone wanted to make something similar to total recall
Chaser cliffhanger ending was a very enjoyable one, so much that i didnt realize it was cliffhanger in the firts place. Longwood voice acting was the best of the bunch.
To theirs defense, they have gun models that we really don't see often like the PM-12 and the G11 (which I only saw in bo 1)
This video was hilarious. The delivery was spot on.
I remember there was some mission in this game that was bugged out and I was never able to get past that part. Something about like an APC attacking a building... dunno... something would never trigger properly and I eventually just stopped playing it.
Sounds like you completely love it Jarek :P
I can’t imagine how happy he is that his name is Jarek and not Jared
Why? Jarek is the ga.yest fu.c.king name ever
@@djole-et9bm Ah, just shut up.
Inside Gaming showed me enough. Still played it tho
the way you describe the beginning of the game, it sounds like Jason Bourne in space, which would be awesome.
Damn that first bit about being forced into doing crime because of a death implant is literally Neuromancer
I would suggest you checking out either Rogue Warrior from the dumpster fire of developers Rebellion, or Mace Griffin Bounty Hunter from Warthog.
Hey jarek, love your videos you should try out the FPS game Darkest of Days
Great vid bro
I remember it was reviewed in one of the 1st gaming magazine I ever bought although I can't remember if they liked the game or not.
I played this a year or two ago out of curiosity and the only thing I remember is the level where I gave in frustration because I couldn't figure out how to progress any further and just stopped caring. Everything else about the game is a blank.
Hey Jarek, speaking of Chaser, could you maybe take a look at Chrome? It came out around the same time and is like Chaser eurojank, an overly ambitious game, it's basically FarCry before FarCry was a thing. If you ever feel like playing what feels like an early, unrefined version of the first FarCry with Jon St. John in it, take that one. Please.
I just finished the game. I thought this would never end. A game I missed in my teenage years but never forgot and always wanted to try. If only I knew, I'd run a bullet through my brain instead and have more fun doing it. I agree with your review.
Cold Winter for ps2 was amazing af
Send out thrusterman!!!
I liked it because I was a kid that time , but I remember some cool effects in that game and also that I finished playing this game on some ship ( under water ) , that level was terrible , no idea where to swim , and that was enough .
I was on the fence for this game for quite a while... until I saw this review (and GMan's). Thanks for saving me a few bucks :)
Is that Timesplitters music in the background? (or is it in this game?)
It’s Alpha Prime’s Heavy Assault🤦🏿♂️
you should check out a game called cryostasis
This game was lit
Shame it crashes slot and is not on steam anymore
Bruce Greene said its awesome, so its probably awesome
Dont think you gonna read this, but i remmember playing a shooter back in 2003-2004 called “Devastation something something” and back then my 7 year old me loved it.
PUPPET MASTER yes thats the one, well i guess my standarts was very low back then..
I will say this about the game, it had some good music. I loved the track Nippon Hotel (i think that was it's name).
Is that ost the track in the background?
I completed this game and now this video is bringing back bad memories.
Love your videos buddy! Keep up the great work :) Have you ever heard of the game "Frontlines: Fuel of War"? Would be sick to see a video about that 😍
I love that game! Wish it was longer, and got a sequel.
When they were still funny Funhaus did a GREAT series of riffing videos for this!
Now in my head cannon all the enemies are wearing helmets full of water just because their superiors like their practical jokes.
It's funny how the protagonist totally looks like John Tanner
The story sounds like some habhazardly thrown together DnD session storyline
Hmm ... im totally curious about a game that im still trying to get it somehow . Did you hear about Warpath ? Its made by Digital extremes ( Unreal Tournament ) and Groove games ( Pariah ). It should be a UT clone with some interesting aspects but i cant tell if thats true . Can you sonlmeday review it ? I want to know how it is.
"This is the best game they ever made"
Oof
the game is actually rather good. better play it yourself instead of blindly believing what anyone is saying
@@djole-et9bm it looks mediocre as hell
@@djole-et9bm Nostalgiatard. I’d rather play vanilla STALKER than this(and I genuinely mean it).
The Marine Sharpshooter series of games, couldn't get past the 1st level of the 1st game, never got the 2nd game to work, and the 3rd was so ludicrously easy that it was barely worth the effort of installing.
The name Chaser made me remember another shooter, that I kinda liked years ago. It´s called Chrome Specforce. You should check that out, if you don´t know it already.
Thats a great example of a game that had a lot of people playing it but was actually terrible. Regretted going back and playing it.
@@niallreid7664 I don´t know. I remember it being pretty hard, but I liked the concept with the suit you were wearing (Crysis obviously did it better). But then again, it´s been years since I played it so, my memory might be a bit hazy.
Where are the Inside Gaming/Funhaus people at?
lets not forget that Jarek is torturing himself by playing these cursed games to bring us good content!!
Try Breed, a squad-based Sci-fi fps released in 2004
He should try the explosiv re release of breed, the original was a bugfest.
Does anyone else remember when this guy made airsoft videos? Red dragon airsoft?
i liked it, dragged myself through hard mode and it was a very funny game at how eurojank it was
Geist for the GameCube! Haven’t played it since I was a kid but I used to love it
I honestly haven’t heard of this at all
Review for any Delta Force?
You should try playing exodus from the earth
2:11 "get your ass to mars" opportunity missed :(
EPILEPSY WARNING
Have you ever played ( black-site Area 51 ) it was one of my first games on the Xbox 360. I remember loving it and was sad when we had to take it back because it was a rental ( from Blockbuster ) lol
Edit: it also is not related to that ( Area 51 ) game you played
@@goosechaser13
Don't know what u talking bout tbh lol. But I thought black site area 51 was fun, gonna have to pick it up from my local vintage gaming store soon lo
You should play Fugitive Hunter: War on Terror. It's a pretty weird fps game that let you fight osama with kung fu
I loved that shit on ps2. Also Urban Chaos!
A good JoWood published game is Legend Of Kay. Played it at a friends in school and played it again few years ago still great
What's the multiplayer like?
"It fucking sucks" Well that was a short video
Timesplitters:time to split
You should play Action Quake 2, it created Counter Strike (you will see it shares models with Counter Strike). Still, it had realistic injuries while Counter Strike is much simpler. Pretty sure you can find players to play it online with you for the video in the official Quake franchise discord.
No mention of the bullet time at all?
Didn't watch the video?
Jarek is there a way to get XIII on PC in 2019? Aside from buying the disc?
Torrent I guess, that's how I got it
@@brianboniuk1072 yeah I was thinking that. It sucks GOG don't have it on there
@@PapaScho They don't have that, but have this mediocre Chaser game, makes you wonder...
I don`t know why?, but I loved this game, finished it like 4 or 5 times, even on hard difficulty, soundtrack is one of my favorites combined with atmosphere and gunplay. But i totally get it if you don`t like it.
I still cannot believe I had the patience to finish this shit... Of course, I had a visual walkthrough waiting for me when shit got too stupid. Otherwise, no way.
SEND OUT THRUSTERMAN
What about Devastation? It also came out in 2003 and looks very similar to Chaser, but it's maybe a bit better. I read about it in a printed videogames magazine back in the day, but never got the chance to play it. Another one is New World Order, which came in North America in 2003. It's also kinda bad. I remember playing the demo back in the day. It was only a multiplayer map, but the guns felt nice.
This game's greatest sin is putting a Dragunov-style scope on an AKS-74u Krinkov.
You should just go through FunHaus' library from back when they were Inside Gaming.
Can u do a rage 1 analysis
It's fps where I liked only the gameplay nothing else !!
The gunplay satisfied me and made me interested in the next id software FPS
Hey jarek, can u review Eat Lead. its a 3rd-person shooter that is very meta because everyone knows they are in a video game.
"the game doesen't look that bad for 2003" half-life 2 came out in 2004
And if you'll notice, 2004 is after 2003. I know, time is wild.
@@Jarekthegamingdragon it is, but by only a year, wich *isn't* a lot at all
From 2003 to 2004, yes that was a MASSIVE difference.
2003: OG Day Of Defeat, OG COD, Postal 2, The best looking game that year was probably Unreal 2.
2004: Far Cry 1, Half-Life 2, Doom 3, Halo 2, the graphical leap was a canyon that year and graphics advanced MUCH faster in the 2000's than today.
Yeah But Half Life 2 was..diferent..only Crysis in 2007
surpassed what half life 2 was
@@ghilliem.g.5824One year made a huge difference in graphics from the mid 90s to the mid 2000s
Ahhh.. Chaser. I've never played the campaign or owned the complete version. This game had a free multiplayer demo and I recall it was quite active. Used to play it a lot when I was young, then I switched to counter-strike.
Can you please review Grab The Auto 5?i heard its an amazing underrated gem.
TOM THRUSTERMAN!!!
So it's futuristic, but all the weapons seem to be modern
