I have SOOO much to comment here. #1. Haze went through so much trouble and publisher interference while in development. Ubisoft kept putting their nose in, forcing the devs to change their vision and direction for the game, adding features they didn't want and forcing it to be a PS3 exclusive when it was originally going to be on all 360/PS3/PC. In the end, it was nothing like the game Radical wanted to originally develop, and the whole "Halo Killer" was Ubisoft's tagline, not Radicals. #2. Azurik, like the Zelda games, is not an rpg but an Action Adventure title.. nothing else to say. #3. Phil Hartman was the heart and soul of Blasto and easily the only reason to play it. Their were plans to fix the original release with a re-release and make a sequel one day, but sadly after Phil's death, the team behind the game couldn't go on. Phil was what made the game... #4.I unironically love Resident Operation Racoon City, especially the TRUE campaign that was sold as DLC, Echo Six. I've played through most oft he games on the list, I feel Ride to Hell almost falls under so bad it's good. MindJack, I remember buying originally from a truck stop gas station. Beyond that, I don't know what to say about the game...played through ti once. As for Alien Colonial Marines, played it on max difficulty at release on Xbox 360, co-opped all the way through. Ever since then I've found it.. kind of boring and mediocre.
Also, while probably not a bad game, Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth is being considered a flop by Square-Enix. I personally feel because they changed to much when people just wanted an updated remake. Then there is the fact this is the 2nd game in a trilogy... which was originally a single game.
First really bad game I bought and played was Sierra's Outpost. It was hailed as Civilization in Space, but better, a realistic space colony simulator, with factions and all kinds of stuff. They worked together with NASA and whatnot. It was A COMPLETE TURD. So bad that Sierra got into serious trouble.
The tragedy of Aliens Colonial Marines is that the alien AI was broken because of ONE LINE OF CODE THAT HAD A TYPO! Some guy found the typo, fixed it, and the Alien AI actually starts doing stuff like running on walls and ceilings, trying to flank you, etc. Instead of just rushing you headlong mindlessly. Its still a meh game, but the AI fix makes it at least a little more fun.
The AI actually did get fixed by a patch on consoles before that big story came out so it was old news by that point, I played it on consoles post patch and the AI was just fine.
I don't recommend playing Perfect Dark Zero in general. It was not a good sequel/prequel to the original N64 Perfect Dark. You were better off playing CoD2, Condemned Criminal Origins, Peter Jackson's King Kong, or Quake 4 during the Xbox 360 launch. We almost got a legit Xbox 360 sequel to Perfect Dark 1. But Xbox torpedoed it as they already had Halo and Gears of War. Thanks Phil.
I got nearly all achievements in the game many years ago. It was a rough ride, but the game isn't THAT bad. It's not good by any means, but it's playable
That's programming. A typo in a for loop in the original Fallout caused the game to get delayed, which eventually snowballed into Fallout's creator leaving Interplay. Computers are stupid. They can only do EXACTLY what you tell them.

Here for the Haze. I was the earliest guy on the Haze Train by far. I saw it at E3 06, was in the right time and place to get in and get the pitch straight from Dave Doak and I was already a Timesplitters fanboy. I was hungry for this one for two years and the disappointment was CRUSHING.
I must say I played through half of Haze back then. Dropped it. Just played it again all the way through a few months ago. While the game is still "meh". The story in the last hour really leads to a very worthwhile life lesson at the end.
I was 12 years old when Haze came out, I don't remember being so excited for a video game in a long time, and it is still to this day my biggest disappointment in any video game I've ever played.
@@garibaldibritann1240 bullshit, LucasArts screwed over Free Radical by not paying em what they asked for to finish battlefront 3....FR made Haze to generate more money and it failed then got blamed for using SW money to make Haze which BF3 was 80-90% done....they used everything LA gave em and needed more cash.....lol free radical weren't morons, they were trying to make an easy shooter and it was just a bad move, shoulda remastered Timesplitters 1 for PS3/X360 cus at least then merely updating it for a new console and making it look nicer woulda been perfect though i think TS2 might be the better option fix the control issue add proper dual analog aiming but keep everything else the same.....remaster woulda been a hit then after BF3 say to hell with lucasarts and remaster futureperfect and make even more cash.... FR would still be in business now.... the devs who makes futureperfect and second sight does not just make absolute garbage for no reason, it was done cus they had no money and knowing that fact, the mere fact they even got a game up and running is a miracle....i hate when people on;y look at half the issue and decide incompetent cus every flop kinda comes from what they were doing before or reveals bad behavior somewhere Gearbox was caught with their hands in the cookie jar and got called out yet escaped punishment? karma has destroyed their rep though...gearbox & BL2 is an example of what taking what the publisher gave you to make their game but only enriching your own games looks like.... did Free Radical's situation at all resemble gearbox's?? no cus they never stole or skimmed off the top.....they got bled dry by big corpo....
@@garibaldibritann1240 since YT deletes crap! free radical was betrayed by lucasArts while making Battlefront 2, running out of money and denied more by LA they made haze in an attempt to generate more cash and when it failed they got blamed for using Battlefront money to enrich their own game! when you look at games like aliens colonial marines vs borderlands 2 that's what enriching your own game with the funds for a different one looks like IDK where Gman Lives got his info but judging haze and free radical for crimes they didn't commit is just criminal! Haze is merely 1 part of a longer story
@@garibaldibritann1240 part 2 just in case Rare back in the 90's after completing goldeneye pitched the next game that became perfect dark, half the company left and became free radical, we know what happened to rare but briefly PD was a hit but the rest of their Nintendo games weren't, diddy kong racing was redundant and not good, why have DKR if you have Mario Kart? but during game cube era rare get's bought by MS more for the catalogue of games than for the talent which let's face it their talent left! at the same time MS buys Rare Free Radical spent the end of the 90's making timesplitters for a then talked about PS2, TS became a mediocre hit but a big enough hit to get a sequel cus while the story was too simple the MP and map editor kept people playing, TS2 and futurperfect were bigger hits rivaling halo but not surpassing it though they deserved to you could make your own maps! choose what weapons spawned and change other parameters of the game but Halo was just too big to notice the competition Second Sight kinda got overlooked as a game that only sold what half what TS did? SW Battlefront 3 was seen as a easy slam dunk but I'm sure there's way more woes attached to the dev cycle but after the fallout of Haze Crytek bought em and every attempt to either remaster the TS series or make a 4'th game were denied for dumb reasons, there's no central character to those games cus it's a war across time starring many heroes in different times but Cortez was enough of a face by TS3 to recognize what game he came from so long as HD gfx didn't totally change how he looked but crytek just used free radical as support for crysis games and here's the shocker under crytek they got named crytek Nottingham then when the devs left without their name they opened Dambuster studio who then made or finished Dead Island 2 to a mediocre success and like TS1 it seems like big enough a hit for a new studio to build on so yeah lineage from old school Rare made dead island 2 most people didn't catch that part of DI2's story....
This is objectively untrue. Bad management has always been the reason for bad video games since they first existed. You said it yourself: you are blinded by nostalgia.
I think the only thing Perfect Dark Zero nailed was Joanna's new design. It practically became more recognizable than her original N64 look, and it sucks that such cool redesign is associated with the game that practically killed the franchise for almost 2 decades.
@@driftwoodddastardly8448 Hard disagree. Deadly Premonition is enjoyable on its own terms despite how weird it is. Then again, I played the Xbox 360 version.
@@the_panos That is exactly why I say "deadly premonition" is "the room" of videogames. Both are weird, and really "bad" in certain ways but both are still weirdly enjoyable.
Call of Juarez: Gunslinger (the fourth and last Call of Juarez game) is genuinely one of the most underrated western videogames I've ever played, I highly recommend it. You can buy a remastered version on Switch for like $3 CAD, since it's often on sale. I haven't played the original or Rondo of Blood yet, but I hear they are both pretty fun too, if a little janky with a story that falls pretty flat.
Call of Juarez, Call of Juarez: Bound In Blood, and Call of Juarez: Gunslinger are all fantastic games. I keep forgetting the bad one even exists. A bad stain on a brilliant Western franchise. Actually, my favourite Western franchise, apart from Red Dead.
I played both Perfect Dark games. My first thought when I played Perfect Dark Zero was "Hey! That's not Perfect Dark! It's an intruder!" It was a differently skinned Halo.
My fondest (i.e. only because I haven't played it) memory about Operation Raccoon City was getting dragged by my anime club buddies to the midnight release at GameStop. One of them was dressed as Vector to show how hyped he was, and we snapped a photo of him pointing his rifle at me while I was on the ground like he was gonna merc me, and the ensuing concern from my parents when he tagged me in it on Facebook. Good times, good times.
Remember Haze was supposed to topple Halo :) Love the early 2000's graphic engine aesthetics seen aroud 16:00; reminds me of the immortal 'Die Hard Arcade or Fighting Force' :D Kinda makes me miss the quality of games 'Made in Japan' in late 90's early 00's . I was so close to visiting it at one point. Had xp with MoCap and in late 2015 I was in contact with Capcom about the facial likeness role of Leon for the Resident Evil 2 Remake. I failed to mention I also have a voice acting background, in the end I lost the part and I can't forgive myself for wasting such an opportunity to visit the place that inspired artists like Toriyama and movies like 'Akira' and 'Ghost in the Shell'.
I still see so many copies of Haze floating around on the internet for like $5 a pop. Literally the most common PS3 game out there, like nearly every person who had a PS3 had this game, hated it, and have been trying to sell it on eBay for 10 years.
@@koolaid33 I enjoyed it for what it was and I honestly think it did the whole anti-war "the good guys are actually bad" message way better then the frankly overrated Spec Ops the Line did.
I’d honestly like to see a whole video of ____-killer games Because I’m quite curious if there has ever been a game that got hyped as a killer of another franchise that didn’t fail horribly The only time I even remember a game killing another one was Fortnite and PUBG but as far as I remember Fortnite never marketed itself as the PUBG-killer
There are a lot of "killer" platformer games that are pretty good. Ty the Tasmanian Tiger marketed itself as a killer of Sonic, Crash, and Spyro. While it didn't really succeed commercially, it was still a pretty damn good game.
I honestly think PDZ is underrated, course I never played the original due to never owning a N64 so I didn't have sky-high expectations like people like Austin did so I was able to judge it on it's own merits instead of endless comparing it to the orgiinal.
It’s interesting to note that Sony was going to make a sequel to Blasto, but never happened not because of the games reception. It was due to Phil Hartman’s death. I had a lot of memories playing Blasto as a kid and I still visit the game once in a while despite not beating until 2013.
I think i've never played an actual stinker . Even all those bad AAA that the internet is desesperatly trying to tell me that "They're worst video games ever" are like 4/10. Sometimes 5/10 on a good day tbh. Never experienced an actual 1/10.
@@joshshrum2764 Sonic '06 is at least somewhat functional. If you want some games that actually deserve a 1/10, may I point you to SQIJ (which literally doesn't work without hacking the game) or Hareraiser (which was nothing but a fake contest scam in video game form)?
Operation Raccoon City is unironically a dumb fun game if you play with a few friends. Sometimes, brainless fun is all you need in a game, and does it deliver.
everyone reviews it for what it is today, a crappy singleplayer game with terrible AI that makes you feel nothing but pain. But when it came out it was a great game to play with friends.
I'll take Operation Raccoon City over: Umbrella Corp, Resistance, and Reverse. Thanks to ORC being backwards compatible on Xbox One X and Xbox Series X, it will now outlive Exoprimal lmao. I think Operation Raccoon City is still available on PS3 too. It was only the pc version that got delisted thanks to the DRM known as Games For Windows Live messing it up.
I still regret losing my Blasto disc + case. I loved playing it as a kid and read that damn manual so much. I knew it was terrible but I just loved hearing Phil Hartman. Always wondered if this is what he would make Zapp Brannigan from Futurama would sound like if he had lived to record the lines.
seeing Haze's story summarized reminds me of the ending where the good guy side you were helping suddenly says the most ominous shit right before the game smash cuts to credits. had me going "thats literally what the bad guys were saying, this has to be the fastest loop in a cycle of violence ive seen."
Blasto was the first game we owned on the PSX and Bubsy was the first game I chose to rent. We were really batting a thousand on that start. and our copy of Blasto was from Blockbuster. Used, missing the booklet. I never knew it was holographic - missed out on the second best part of the game after Phil Hartman. Another great one as always, Austin.
I remember how much I enjoyed Matt McMuscles' video on Haze despite my general indifference towards FPS stuff. Guess the Korn jokes did most of the work.
This video showed up on my feed while I was playing a Harvest Moon game. I've found that I am plenty entertained by games made by smaller devs for less than $60.
Azurik has to be the first game i have ever seen where you can get a *perfect* view into the development studio. you can so easily relate to the developers in their struggle, you can effortlessly imagine the awkward and frustrating conversations when it came to building the environments. it just has that amatuer vibe that few games truly possess, like not completely broken embarrassment, but not a small indie. like an over-ambitous high school project
@@NickBLeaveIt That's true, but sometimes a poor launch is so bad the game is irredeemable. For example, Cyberpunk 2077 is one of those games that really isn't shipping copies much, simply because it was stained so hard with the jankyness and bugs, and the fact that it's now been four years and it's still a buggy mess, especially the DLC. Another example would be FNAF: Security Breach, this game released in an awful state and it turned many fans of the franchise away in a heartbeat, as it was clearly unfinished, and then once again it got DLC that like 2077 was somehow more buggy than the standard game. An example of a game that had a bad launch and actually redeemed itself would be No Mans Sky, I don't know how they did it but that game went from being hated to being loved.
@@koolaid33 actually 2077 got way better a couple of years ago with it's huge patches, 2077 absolutely redeemed itself for many people myself included.
Hold it, hold up a second. The old woman in the Blasto ad. Did she voice Tony Cipriani's mother in GTA 3? Edit: No, she's not. But yeah, Perfect Dark Zero was so forgettable that I bought it THIS YEAR, played it through to the end, thought to myself "Did this game have no achievements?" and then I checked, and I'd beaten it 13 years ago and couldn't remember a thing about it past the first level.
This is going to sound stupid but I don't care. I'm in my 40's now so there is zero anticipation to play the latest and greatest so waiting a year to see what is really worth my ever evaporating time is fine by me. It also does wonders for my disposable income budget.
Dissing Blasto is heresy!! That game is such a late 90's vibe man. I remember it being on EVERY demo disc leading up to release. I actually had high hopes for the planned sequel. It was on to something, it just felt rushed. I had hoped the sequel with more time to flesh it out would've really filled it out. Phil Hartman's murder kinda put an end to any chance at a second game.
Oh yeah, I remember Turning Point on the PC. Well, "remember" is a strong word because I had to double check if I'm not confusing it with some other "America invaded" type of game. I remember trying it and getting bored real quick, if that counts...
Reminder that the Duke Nukem Forever 2001 build is available online and constantly worked on. The first level is better than the whole gearbox garbage. Amazing how much gearbox sucks
when I was a child I spent money on a game called 'Fuse' for my xbox 360, I still feel pain when I think about it. But I was also a broke kid, so I played the heck out of it. Still didn't feel like I got my money's worth. Thanks for the reminder, I hate it :D
I actually think that game is pretty good for what it is, course I bought it not knowing about it originally being called Overstrike and looking more cartoony(kinda reminded me of hero shooters so it would've been ahead of it's time for sure)so I didn't get dissapointed like others did.
Bloody hell, wasn't expecting to see my silly dancing alien clip show up again after all these years. Add this to list of some of my favourite creators on RUclips using something of mine!
When i replay Blasto like years ago,i kinda forgot his voice. With his voice and apperance always remind me of Johnny Bravo. One thing i remember play the game in my childhood is the death animation. Idk i alwas laugh at it whne he screamor fall death and the main villains laugh with his shadow logo of him like how Bowser did in SM64.
love how technology has been more accessible as time progressed that its not limited to AAA shvoelwares and abandoned early access games in the marketplace. it just broaden ways were we can attain said good or bad quality of product distributed coming from small studios or publishers indie and AA.
fun fact about colonial marines, the aiming system in the game is programmed to miss. the modder that is currently fixing the game to be better found that in the code the devs made the accuracy so bad that it takes multiple shots to center. so if you wondering why the shooting is awful that's why.....
Wait, so all this time, the bad ai in Aliens Colonial Marines was due to a spelling error in the CODE?! And Gearbox could have fixed it long time ago, but didn't?!
This was brilliant, some of those games are still giving me nightmares many years later. How about a follow up AAA games that were almost AAA! Great show cheers
Omg I almost forgot Azurik for 20 years. Of course as a child I played the heck out of it, but never finished it, as I was too dumb for some mechanics. But had a blast with this weird game.
There was a game called Extinction or something like that for the Xbox One. The primary gameplay Loop was saving people from monsters and knocking armor off of giants so you could kill them. I was super hyped for it and when got into it the primary function of stripping the armor and killing the Giants was too janky to function. Genuinely the only game I wish I would have never bought. And I legit bought, played and, enjoyed, Section 8, operation Raccoon City, and colonial Marines.
I downloaded the demo to Haze and played that level so much. Such a good concept that i never got disappointed by poor execution, because i never bought the actual game😅
love the increasing amount of wrestling references. Really trippy to tab out of watching Scott Steiner matches only to see Scott Steiner make a cameo in a youtube video
My brother and dad would all take turns playing perfect dark when we first got our 360. The game still brings good memories of summers before we all grew up. Like a bad movie you watched at a pivotal time in your life it will always hold a special place in my heart
If you were a Gothic fan Arcania: Gothic 4 was the biggest joke you could imagine and that was the first console Gothic you could play. They even changed the name to "Arcania" and cut the gothic part for the "Complete tale" edition. Gothic 3 was meh like 6/10 but 4 was a piece of $$$$. Same goes for Sacred 3.
I had this roommate in college who wasn’t great, and for some reason he always wanted to play Perfect Dark Zero with me an our other roommate. We never understood, since the og is so much more fun in our opinion. Maybe because it was the first game we played with him?
Aliens: Colonial marines is so bad and hurt the series so much People actively avoided getting Alien Isolation a proper well made game with fondness for the franchise because they feared of being burned again, Thanks Gearbox.
I pre-ordered the Special Edition Operation Raccoon City when it came out on Xbox 360 and while it certainly wasn't perfect I remember having a blast in the multiplayer modes. I don't let jank ruin the enjoyment I have with any games nowadays but I also don't pre-order games without being completely certain on them anymore.
Honestly miss when we had not a lot of games coming out but we had quality games coming out, now there's just so much choice that i never know what I want to play
9:26 I loved those shiny graphics when I got my first 360 in 2006. 26:05 My stepmom got me this for Christmas a decade ago and I still haven’t played it.
I remember when I was a teen and for YEARS I’d regularly browse GameStops website and saw Colonial Marines up for preorder. Even if I wasn’t all the interested because I never really watched the Alien movies until later, seeing the basic black box art with white text as a temp for the cover art after forever it finally getting an actual cover and release date, was pretty surreal at the point. …..The placeholder box art was the best thing about that game.
A Blasto demo disc from Pizza Hut had Medieval, Crash Bandicoot warped,Gran Turismo,Metal Gear Solid. And Tomb Raider 3. I will never forget Blasto because of this reason alone.

Insane to think Haze was made by people who worked on Donkey Kong Country, Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, Time Splitters 1-3.
"And the only thing that killed Haze was Free Radical themselves" Gmanlives
Summed up everything about that catastrophe
@@garibaldibritann1240 bullshit, LucasArts screwed over Free Radical by not paying em what they asked for to finish battlefront 3....FR made Haze to generate more money and it failed then got blamed for using SW money to make Haze which BF3 was 80-90% done....they used everything LA gave em and needed more cash.....lol
free radical weren't morons, they were trying to make an easy shooter and it was just a bad move, shoulda remastered Timesplitters 1 for PS3/X360 cus at least then merely updating it for a new console and making it look nicer woulda been perfect though i think TS2 might be the better option fix the control issue add proper dual analog aiming but keep everything else the same.....remaster woulda been a hit then after BF3 say to hell with lucasarts and remaster futureperfect and make even more cash....
FR would still be in business now....
the devs who makes futureperfect and second sight does not just make absolute garbage for no reason, it was done cus they had no money and knowing that fact, the mere fact they even got a game up and running is a miracle....i hate when people on;y look at half the issue and decide incompetent cus every flop kinda comes from what they were doing before or reveals bad behavior somewhere
Gearbox was caught with their hands in the cookie jar and got called out yet escaped punishment? karma has destroyed their rep though...gearbox & BL2 is an example of what taking what the publisher gave you to make their game but only enriching your own games looks like....
did Free Radical's situation at all resemble gearbox's?? no cus they never stole or skimmed off the top.....they got bled dry by big corpo....
eh I liked Haze just fine
@@garibaldibritann1240 since YT deletes crap!
free radical was betrayed by lucasArts while making Battlefront 2, running out of money and denied more by LA they made haze in an attempt to generate more cash and when it failed they got blamed for using Battlefront money to enrich their own game! when you look at games like aliens colonial marines vs borderlands 2 that's what enriching your own game with the funds for a different one looks like
IDK where Gman Lives got his info but judging haze and free radical for crimes they didn't commit is just criminal!
Haze is merely 1 part of a longer story
@@garibaldibritann1240 part 2 just in case
Rare back in the 90's after completing goldeneye pitched the next game that became perfect dark, half the company left and became free radical, we know what happened to rare but briefly PD was a hit but the rest of their Nintendo games weren't, diddy kong racing was redundant and not good, why have DKR if you have Mario Kart? but during game cube era rare get's bought by MS more for the catalogue of games than for the talent which let's face it their talent left!
at the same time MS buys Rare Free Radical spent the end of the 90's making timesplitters for a then talked about PS2, TS became a mediocre hit but a big enough hit to get a sequel cus while the story was too simple the MP and map editor kept people playing, TS2 and futurperfect were bigger hits rivaling halo but not surpassing it though they deserved to you could make your own maps! choose what weapons spawned and change other parameters of the game but Halo was just too big to notice the competition
Second Sight kinda got overlooked as a game that only sold what half what TS did? SW Battlefront 3 was seen as a easy slam dunk but I'm sure there's way more woes attached to the dev cycle but after the fallout of Haze Crytek bought em and every attempt to either remaster the TS series or make a 4'th game were denied for dumb reasons, there's no central character to those games cus it's a war across time starring many heroes in different times but Cortez was enough of a face by TS3 to recognize what game he came from so long as HD gfx didn't totally change how he looked but crytek just used free radical as support for crysis games and here's the shocker under crytek they got named crytek Nottingham then when the devs left without their name they opened Dambuster studio who then made or finished Dead Island 2 to a mediocre success and like TS1 it seems like big enough a hit for a new studio to build on so yeah lineage from old school Rare made dead island 2 most people didn't catch that part of DI2's story....
Mind Jack’s main character is named Jim when they could of just named him Jack 😂

Sonic 06 was 18 years ago. Who feels old now that Austin has reminded us of that?
And we still just want a adventure three, though i can’t believe adventure two is almost 25 years old like holy shit.
@@joshshrum2764How do you feel about Sonic x Shadow Generations?
@@rafaeldeanza keep off my lawn! Ya dang kids with your hippty hop music!
I actually feel nostalgic for the failures of the Golden Age of AAA Games. Because unlike nowadays, they don't suck ass for the same reasons.
yeah back then you didn't have to worry about garbage MTXs or battle passes
This is objectively untrue. Bad management has always been the reason for bad video games since they first existed. You said it yourself: you are blinded by nostalgia.
Do you think all the issues Austin listed in his video come from some supernatural force then
I think the only thing Perfect Dark Zero nailed was Joanna's new design. It practically became more recognizable than her original N64 look, and it sucks that such cool redesign is associated with the game that practically killed the franchise for almost 2 decades.
I think it was a damn good game.
Does Rare have anything to do with the new game?
Ride to Hell is the Room of video games
I would say "deadly premonition" is "the room" of videogames.
Nah, deadly premonition is genuinely good @@driftwoodddastardly8448
I think that’s Sonic 06, and that’s not because i am a Sonic nerd.
@@driftwoodddastardly8448 Hard disagree. Deadly Premonition is enjoyable on its own terms despite how weird it is. Then again, I played the Xbox 360 version.
@@the_panos That is exactly why I say "deadly premonition" is "the room" of videogames. Both are weird, and really "bad" in certain ways but both are still weirdly enjoyable.
At least the digital only form of games these days have saved some landfills
That's the only praise I can give the digital only form of games with a straight face.
Turning point is one of those games i think of when people say "we should remake interesting bad games to make them good"
In a way, we did get a good remake for Turning Point Fall of Liberty. Wolfenstein The New Order, similar concept but better execution of it.
I didn’t even think that game was that bad, really.
Call of Juarez: Gunslinger (the fourth and last Call of Juarez game) is genuinely one of the most underrated western videogames I've ever played, I highly recommend it. You can buy a remastered version on Switch for like $3 CAD, since it's often on sale. I haven't played the original or Rondo of Blood yet, but I hear they are both pretty fun too, if a little janky with a story that falls pretty flat.
Rondo of Blood? As in, the Castlevania game?
Call of Juarez, Call of Juarez: Bound In Blood, and Call of Juarez: Gunslinger are all fantastic games. I keep forgetting the bad one even exists. A bad stain on a brilliant Western franchise. Actually, my favourite Western franchise, apart from Red Dead.
@@brando3342 I unironically like The Cartel more then the other games.
I played both Perfect Dark games. My first thought when I played Perfect Dark Zero was "Hey! That's not Perfect Dark! It's an intruder!" It was a differently skinned Halo.
My fondest (i.e. only because I haven't played it) memory about Operation Raccoon City was getting dragged by my anime club buddies to the midnight release at GameStop. One of them was dressed as Vector to show how hyped he was, and we snapped a photo of him pointing his rifle at me while I was on the ground like he was gonna merc me, and the ensuing concern from my parents when he tagged me in it on Facebook. Good times, good times.
Remember Haze was supposed to topple Halo :) Love the early 2000's graphic engine aesthetics seen aroud 16:00; reminds me of the immortal 'Die Hard Arcade or Fighting Force' :D Kinda makes me miss the quality of games 'Made in Japan' in late 90's early 00's . I was so close to visiting it at one point. Had xp with MoCap and in late 2015 I was in contact with Capcom about the facial likeness role of Leon for the Resident Evil 2 Remake. I failed to mention I also have a voice acting background, in the end I lost the part and I can't forgive myself for wasting such an opportunity to visit the place that inspired artists like Toriyama and movies like 'Akira' and 'Ghost in the Shell'.
I still see so many copies of Haze floating around on the internet for like $5 a pop. Literally the most common PS3 game out there, like nearly every person who had a PS3 had this game, hated it, and have been trying to sell it on eBay for 10 years.
@@koolaid33 I enjoyed it for what it was and I honestly think it did the whole anti-war "the good guys are actually bad" message way better then the frankly overrated Spec Ops the Line did.
I’d honestly like to see a whole video of ____-killer games
Because I’m quite curious if there has ever been a game that got hyped as a killer of another franchise that didn’t fail horribly
The only time I even remember a game killing another one was Fortnite and PUBG but as far as I remember Fortnite never marketed itself as the PUBG-killer
There are a lot of "killer" platformer games that are pretty good.
Ty the Tasmanian Tiger marketed itself as a killer of Sonic, Crash, and Spyro. While it didn't really succeed commercially, it was still a pretty damn good game.
HAZE™ (2008) completely and utterly killed HALO! 343 have only put out slop after slop! HAZE™ (2008) only needed one game to prove its superiority!
Twisted Metal 3 was the greatest Twisted Metal and I will die on that hill.

You both should avoid any hills then.

Wtf bro.
I honestly think PDZ is underrated, course I never played the original due to never owning a N64 so I didn't have sky-high expectations like people like Austin did so I was able to judge it on it's own merits instead of endless comparing it to the orgiinal.
You mean Foslerfer lol

"Griptonite" is one of those names made funny by it simply being 2024.
It’s interesting to note that Sony was going to make a sequel to Blasto, but never happened not because of the games reception. It was due to Phil Hartman’s death. I had a lot of memories playing Blasto as a kid and I still visit the game once in a while despite not beating until 2013.
I loved Blasto growing up. It was a fun and funny game.
Haze having worse feeling gameplay than coded arms on the PSP needs to be studied 🤣

I think i've never played an actual stinker . Even all those bad AAA that the internet is desesperatly trying to tell me that "They're worst video games ever" are like 4/10. Sometimes 5/10 on a good day tbh.
Never experienced an actual 1/10.
Sonic 06, though.
@@joshshrum2764 Sonic '06 is at least somewhat functional. If you want some games that actually deserve a 1/10, may I point you to SQIJ (which literally doesn't work without hacking the game) or Hareraiser (which was nothing but a fake contest scam in video game form)?
Operation Raccoon City is unironically a dumb fun game if you play with a few friends.
Sometimes, brainless fun is all you need in a game, and does it deliver.
everyone reviews it for what it is today, a crappy singleplayer game with terrible AI that makes you feel nothing but pain. But when it came out it was a great game to play with friends.
I'll take Operation Raccoon City over: Umbrella Corp, Resistance, and Reverse. Thanks to ORC being backwards compatible on Xbox One X and Xbox Series X, it will now outlive Exoprimal lmao.
I think Operation Raccoon City is still available on PS3 too. It was only the pc version that got delisted thanks to the DRM known as Games For Windows Live messing it up.
@@Gruntvc It happened with a lot of other Capcom games of the time, too.
Like Lost Planet 1 & 2 on Steam also being delisted for the same reason.
@@OpalthiraEveryone hated it when it came out.
@@Mindwalker030nah, most people didn’t give a damn about that game, it wasn’t a big deal and wasn’t a bad game either
I still regret losing my Blasto disc + case.
I loved playing it as a kid and read that damn manual so much. I knew it was terrible but I just loved hearing Phil Hartman.
Always wondered if this is what he would make Zapp Brannigan from Futurama would sound like if he had lived to record the lines.
seeing Haze's story summarized reminds me of the ending where the good guy side you were helping
suddenly says the most ominous shit right before the game smash cuts to credits.
had me going "thats literally what the bad guys were saying, this has to be the fastest loop
in a cycle of violence ive seen."
I remember Blasto because my grandpa had this game on his PS2. Haven’t finished it but I wanna go back to it and finish it
Found Fairytale Fights last month at a secondhand store and had to buy it, for the nostalgia of regretting buying it when I was 14 lmao
Blasto was the first game we owned on the PSX and Bubsy was the first game I chose to rent. We were really batting a thousand on that start.
and our copy of Blasto was from Blockbuster. Used, missing the booklet. I never knew it was holographic - missed out on the second best part of the game after Phil Hartman.
Another great one as always, Austin.
"gaming to me is a religion and haze is the shit!" - Johnathan Davis

This video showed up on my feed while I was playing a Harvest Moon game. I've found that I am plenty entertained by games made by smaller devs for less than $60.
So glad you mentioned the Halo killer, Brute Force.
ITS THE NEXT HALO!!!
@@austineruption it's a solid enough game
Azurik has to be the first game i have ever seen where you can get a *perfect* view into the development studio. you can so easily relate to the developers in their struggle, you can effortlessly imagine the awkward and frustrating conversations when it came to building the environments. it just has that amatuer vibe that few games truly possess, like not completely broken embarrassment, but not a small indie. like an over-ambitous high school project
when you got to azurik i legit thought it was a clip from the show reboot and i tripped out
I wiah Assassin's Creed Unity was on here. 😂❤I liked Blasto but then again I liked Gex series and a ps1 game you play as an Egg.
Nothing to be ashamed for! Some people like games so bad and janky that they become a special sort of good! I can count myself one of them xD.
Patched AC Unity is beloved by AC fans; broken launch =/= permanently bad game.
@@NickBLeaveIt That's true, but sometimes a poor launch is so bad the game is irredeemable. For example, Cyberpunk 2077 is one of those games that really isn't shipping copies much, simply because it was stained so hard with the jankyness and bugs, and the fact that it's now been four years and it's still a buggy mess, especially the DLC. Another example would be FNAF: Security Breach, this game released in an awful state and it turned many fans of the franchise away in a heartbeat, as it was clearly unfinished, and then once again it got DLC that like 2077 was somehow more buggy than the standard game. An example of a game that had a bad launch and actually redeemed itself would be No Mans Sky, I don't know how they did it but that game went from being hated to being loved.
What do you mean by gex everything else already was gex.
@@koolaid33 actually 2077 got way better a couple of years ago with it's huge patches, 2077 absolutely redeemed itself for many people myself included.
Hold it, hold up a second. The old woman in the Blasto ad. Did she voice Tony Cipriani's mother in GTA 3?
Edit: No, she's not. But yeah, Perfect Dark Zero was so forgettable that I bought it THIS YEAR, played it through to the end, thought to myself "Did this game have no achievements?" and then I checked, and I'd beaten it 13 years ago and couldn't remember a thing about it past the first level.
I find PDZ quite memorable.
It’s so awesome to see the kung pow enter the fist clip I haven’t thought of that movie in so many years

Best news of my life, honestly
4:50 i have an OPM magazine calling Dark Cloud 1 the 'Zelda killer' and it makes me laugh every time I see the cover
Dark Cloud is a fun action RPG, but other than sharing the genre and having a similar looking protagonist, that game is NOTHING like Zelda, lol
This is going to sound stupid but I don't care. I'm in my 40's now so there is zero anticipation to play the latest and greatest so waiting a year to see what is really worth my ever evaporating time is fine by me. It also does wonders for my disposable income budget.
Dissing Blasto is heresy!! That game is such a late 90's vibe man. I remember it being on EVERY demo disc leading up to release. I actually had high hopes for the planned sequel. It was on to something, it just felt rushed. I had hoped the sequel with more time to flesh it out would've really filled it out. Phil Hartman's murder kinda put an end to any chance at a second game.
Omg never played Blasto
But unlocked a memory
When the first time I saw Mr Incredible
I thought it was a movie adaptation of Blasto
Oh yeah, I remember Turning Point on the PC. Well, "remember" is a strong word because I had to double check if I'm not confusing it with some other "America invaded" type of game. I remember trying it and getting bored real quick, if that counts...

I couldn't get over the wild screen tearing when Ride to Hell popped up holy moly
when I was a child I spent money on a game called 'Fuse' for my xbox 360, I still feel pain when I think about it. But I was also a broke kid, so I played the heck out of it. Still didn't feel like I got my money's worth. Thanks for the reminder, I hate it :D
I actually think that game is pretty good for what it is, course I bought it not knowing about it originally being called Overstrike and looking more cartoony(kinda reminded me of hero shooters so it would've been ahead of it's time for sure)so I didn't get dissapointed like others did.
Bloody hell, wasn't expecting to see my silly dancing alien clip show up again after all these years.

When i replay Blasto like years ago,i kinda forgot his voice. With his voice and apperance always remind me of Johnny Bravo. One thing i remember play the game in my childhood is the death animation. Idk i alwas laugh at it whne he screamor fall death and the main villains laugh with his shadow logo of him like how Bowser did in SM64.
love how technology has been more accessible as time progressed that its not limited to AAA shvoelwares and abandoned early access games in the marketplace. it just broaden ways were we can attain said good or bad quality of product distributed coming from small studios or publishers indie and AA.
fun fact about colonial marines, the aiming system in the game is programmed to miss. the modder that is currently fixing the game to be better found that in the code the devs made the accuracy so bad that it takes multiple shots to center. so if you wondering why the shooting is awful that's why.....
Wait, so all this time, the bad ai in Aliens Colonial Marines was due to a spelling error in the CODE?! And Gearbox could have fixed it long time ago, but didn't?!
It’s crazy hearing my childhood consoles being called retro😢
This was brilliant, some of those games are still giving me nightmares many years later.
How about a follow up AAA games that were almost AAA!
Great show cheers
Omg I almost forgot Azurik for 20 years. Of course as a child I played the heck out of it, but never finished it, as I was too dumb for some mechanics. But had a blast with this weird game.
The literal giant grin on my face when I saw the notification for new Austin eruption video :D
There was a game called Extinction or something like that for the Xbox One. The primary gameplay Loop was saving people from monsters and knocking armor off of giants so you could kill them. I was super hyped for it and when got into it the primary function of stripping the armor and killing the Giants was too janky to function. Genuinely the only game I wish I would have never bought. And I legit bought, played and, enjoyed, Section 8, operation Raccoon City, and colonial Marines.
I downloaded the demo to Haze and played that level so much. Such a good concept that i never got disappointed by poor execution, because i never bought the actual game😅

love the increasing amount of wrestling references. Really trippy to tab out of watching Scott Steiner matches only to see Scott Steiner make a cameo in a youtube video
My brother and dad would all take turns playing perfect dark when we first got our 360. The game still brings good memories of summers before we all grew up. Like a bad movie you watched at a pivotal time in your life it will always hold a special place in my heart
Ride to Hell is truly special in the worst way.
If you were a Gothic fan Arcania: Gothic 4 was the biggest joke you could imagine and that was the first console Gothic you could play. They even changed the name to "Arcania" and cut the gothic part for the "Complete tale" edition. Gothic 3 was meh like 6/10 but 4 was a piece of $$$$. Same goes for Sacred 3.
“You can just unload into dudes and they’ll just take it” without a pause was crazy 😂
Blasto was gonna be a series, but Phil Hartman was murdered just after the first game came out. They couldn’t replace him, so the series died.
I kinda like twisted metal 3 as a kid... It was the one I played the most.
I love blasto how dare you xD
Not that I could ever really progress in it but me and the boys loved trying
"18 year dogpile" oof my back aches
Always look forward to your uploads. Topics like this remind me how wild games industry can be.
I had this roommate in college who wasn’t great, and for some reason he always wanted to play Perfect Dark Zero with me an our other roommate. We never understood, since the og is so much more fun in our opinion. Maybe because it was the first game we played with him?
Aliens: Colonial marines is so bad and hurt the series so much People actively avoided getting Alien Isolation a proper well made game with fondness for the franchise because they feared of being burned again, Thanks Gearbox.
I loved Twisted Metal 3 back in the day, infact i still have it
I hate myself for having played every game on this list. Worst I bought all of them. Pimp my ride included 😭
Haze is the Minions' favorite game btw 😂
best "Halo Killer" as advertised on the box is Tribes: Aerial Assault - A PS2 port of Tribes 2 but with a bunch of extras that nobody played.
I still have my copy of Blasto in case. Love that terrible game, rip Phil Hartman
Big ups for the Kung Pow reference lol. I personally liked Blasto a lot, but I was 6 and I think we only had the demo disc.
I pre-ordered the Special Edition Operation Raccoon City when it came out on Xbox 360 and while it certainly wasn't perfect I remember having a blast in the multiplayer modes. I don't let jank ruin the enjoyment I have with any games nowadays but I also don't pre-order games without being completely certain on them anymore.
I think you’re missing Too Human in here. A game so bad unreal used
“You can unload into dudes and they’ll just take it” was the best line. 😂
Honestly miss when we had not a lot of games coming out but we had quality games coming out, now there's just so much choice that i never know what I want to play

I love how you used the Ratchet & Clank 2 OST for Endako as the background music. Anything R&C. I’m there ❤
To this day, I still don’t understand the hate that Twisted Metal 3 gets.
I remember when I was a teen and for YEARS I’d regularly browse GameStops website and saw Colonial Marines up for preorder. Even if I wasn’t all the interested because I never really watched the Alien movies until later, seeing the basic black box art with white text as a temp for the cover art after forever it finally getting an actual cover and release date, was pretty surreal at the point. …..The placeholder box art was the best thing about that game.
The FernGully got me but it also made me realize how old I am
I don't know if I should thank you or not
A Blasto demo disc from Pizza Hut had Medieval, Crash Bandicoot warped,Gran Turismo,Metal Gear Solid. And Tomb Raider 3. I will never forget Blasto because of this reason alone.
