Kong: *"hold my banana"*
*shudders*
Hold my Woman.
This made me laugh more then it probably should 😂
"BANANA SLAMA!"
Yours was the best comment of all 2023!!!
this feels like a video game someone would be playing in the background of a sitcom.
It definitely looks like a fake movie game. wow. I cant believe someone/people made this in 2023
Maybe because we live with sitcom people now...
Fuck we really are in a simulation
Yeah I can already hear Sheldon Cooper complaining.
Or a video game one would play within another video game
“What’s insane, one of the best games we played on this channel was a King Kong game and now simultaneously, one of the worst games we’ve played is a King Kong game”
Perfectly Balanced, as all things should be.
I've neevr seen King Kong before this game so this game has genuinely been my first experience with Kong. I don't really see the appeal of a normal gorilla but whatever lol
@@fuzzyotterpaws4395monke smash. me happy
Seeing a game show up on Mind Pulp the day after it drops is like seeing a movie hit the $5 bin at Walmart a month after it leave theaters
HAHAH
Nice Analogy, there.
Best analogy for the games they review. 😂
I 100% feel like this game's target audience is very kind and well-intentioned grandmas who try to surprise their little grandchild with a fun game but have absolutely 0 idea of games at all and doesn't know what counts as a "good game"
you're not a GAMER, GRANDMA!
Im not sure why there are so many people shocked that Gamemill Entertainment put out a garbage game when 99.9% of their games are licensed garbage mobile games.
@@lutherheggs451Noones shocked about that becauae noone knows it 😂 were shocked at this shit being on a ps5 in 2023
I was in a store long, long ago when Gamestop was still the place to go and an older woman asked me about a Mortal Combat game. “Is this a good one? It’s for my grandson.” I said “How old is your grandson?” Her “Eight years old” So I told her about fatalities and the rather tough learning curve on these games. Maybe not the best for an 8 year old kid. I suggested a Crash Bandicoot game instead. Lol.
@@manboy4720gamers grandmas are the best category of gamers.
They are just so chill.
It just goes to show how beautiful Peter Jackson's PS2 King Kong game was. That game holds up so much more than this which was released in 2023. 😫😫
Just to bad it has so short.
I think of that game more as an Xbox 360 game
It was unironically good, just so short..
I still play that to this day on my ps2 amazing
Xbox 360 version of this is backwards compatible with Xbox one and series consoles!!!
Fun fact this is not based on the Monster verse Kong but a King Kong book series no one remembers. KK is in a unique area where one can pick and choose what licesance they can use and the devs here chose the cheapest one.
What book series is it? And was it a good book or even that was considered a bad series?
oHh i understand why its so weird now lol
@@cristiangomez4537My understanding is that the novelization of the '33 film is in the public domain.
@cristiangomez4537 Kong: King of Skull Island is a 160 page novel written by Brad Strickland and John Michlig and illustrated by Joe DeVito in 2005. It is an official sequel and prequel to Strickland and DeVito's 2005 rewrite of the 1932 novelization of the original 1933 film King Kong authorized by the estate of Kong's creator, Merian C. Cooper.
Bro just likes this dog water game😂
They somehow managed to make Kong look tiny.
What's better than old garbage? Modern garbage disguised as old garbage. That's literally what they were thinking about in the corporate meetings.
in the boardroom meeting, they were like, "so... people like garbage, right?"
@@manboy4720I mean if not garbage what else?
@@manboy4720"are people possums?,do they love garbage?"
"They love it as long it's nostalgic"
The game:
There was no corporate meetings, this game wasn’t made by the actual people behind the King Kong movie, it was made by a guy who wrote a public domain Kong book.
No one tell them that yet another licensed game is in the works based on killer Klowns from outer space

As a solo game dev, I'm not sure if I should be dismayed that this got funding and the rights to a major IP, or if I should be hopeful because if this can see the light of day then maybe so can my game.

It annoys me to no end that you dont even feel like a giant ape, more like an average sized sasquatch
Oh cmon, even the Sasquatchs in the Undead Nightmares DLC are better than this. ^^
Lol imagine they forget until the developing was finish 🤣

@@deepflare1028 or poisoning this kong with mushrooms.
The person who made the boxart is the only one to give 2% effort in making this game 😂🤣
That person is the only reason anyone even considered looking up the game without knowing anything about Its gameplay.
@@Martin-yh7vi true
The "popping plants" leads me to believe a dev screwed up the Level of Detail (LOD) settings for them: you've got a set of distances that govern what to show depending on how far away the camera is, right down to "show nothing" for when you're really far away. It's like they somehow got the distances for the highest and lowest LODs the wrong way round or something, so the bushes get LESS complex as you get closer.
This is so weird to me. You feel so SMALL playing as any of the Kongs. Like, the trees are towering over you, the monsters are generally your size, eve the bushes are proportionally larger than you. Like, that's WEIRD to me. King Kong, and presumably his mom are supposed to be towering giants who live in a tiny world, they should be able to look over tree tops and cross rivers in a single step, the only thing bigger than them are the monsters that want to kill them. But, everything here makes it feel like you're a normal sized gorilla, even the distance off the camera makes you feel small. WHY IS KING KONG SMALL?!
Also why is kong just getting about murdering tiny dodos what is his problem
It's Tiny Kong, the rejected brother of King Kong.
Yes that feels more like a normal sized gorilla to me.

So, here's the thing: the rights for the original King Kong novel were never renewed, so they are in the public domain. Anyone can make an adaptation of King Kong as long as they somewhat base it on the original novel. I believe the title "King Kong" itself is off limits because it belongs to the original movie, but those rights expire in 2029 too, so we're bound to see even more adaptations in the near future.
In any case, the reason this game was made on the cheap seemingly out of nowhere is because it's very likely _not_ licensed.
If I recall correctly the developers were forced to make the game from scratch in like a year.
I love that they thought doing an impression of the Dark Souls intro voice-over would make their game good.
And the furtive pygmy kong, so easily forgotten...
This feels like a college student who was slacking off all semester, realized he had a week and a half to submit his final game project. So quickly slapped whatever empty assets he had left and called it a day. Good god outright there's more than likely actual college students who could do a much better job.
Said college student has a bright future working for one of the big evil gaming companies, zero efforts and all the tweets!
The developers only had a single year to make this. So it's more like if a professor gave a college student an essay and said "Oh by the way this is due in three days"
As someone who had a year 12 major project for software design and development, I can indeed confirm that literally all of us made better projects (even the least interesting project we had was a full remake of Tetris).
I’m surprised this game didn’t have a sewer level
The game already is the sewer level

Oddly enough, this is supposed to tie-in with the original 1933 Kong movie, but, for some reason, instead of a making a cool game to explore that Kong’s universe, they made this…
I thought you were gonna say this looks like a game made in 1933 or it began development in 1933 but didn't come out until now (and yes I know vidya didn't exist in 1933)
It was a tie into a public domain book that was based on the 1933 Kong movie.
@@HenryStudioCAit looks like they started development in 1993, took the next 30 years off for holiday, and then finished development in 2023. You have to admire the determination and never give up attitude.
I’m both shocked and so glad you guys decided to play both a good example of a kong game and a terrible kong game.
As a fan of godzilla, king Kong and all things kaiju, it really hurst to see the monsterverse become popular again but for all the bad reasons : ( but I'm just glad the community is overpopulated and alive and well
Man, the PS2 Kong game was so much better AND looked better! Like, how is this possible? 😂
Maybe 20 years from now, some new RUclipsrs will play this game and trash talk it. Then they’ll get comments like “This game was my childhood” or “I loved playing this game as a kid”.
I feel bad that the devs were only given a literal year to make a game from ground up.. the executives are real monsters..
I've seen indie devs with a much smaller budget and a much smaller team create better games in a year.
@@DeanQuinn-ep2ltthose games are usually smaller in scale
@@Alshijurui-825 sure, some are, but there are also many great examples of indie developers creating full fledged video games.

GameMills Entertainment truly has a track records of broken records promises and other unpersonal standards.
Nickelodeon Kart Racers 2 was actually pretty decent. I'll give them that one. Everything else they put out has been terrible.
@@coltonwilkie241 They still didn't give out proper Interactions and once again were nothing but shouting various quotes from there own show and feel no difference for the upcoming sequel.
Companies eventually get lazy and released a game by showing any lack of what a good game is.
Complete it with a broken plot.
Now I'm afraid for Nickelodeon all stars brawl 2
@@kingkoopa8683 The kart racing game actually has decent gameplay to distract people from how lifeless the characters are. Every other game they've pushed out has terrible gameplay on top of being lifeless.
I wonder if the king kong license holders were just like "well lets try to get *something* out" and authorized this
I kept feeling a sense of deja vu with the facial animations and it's just occurred to me they remind me of the facial animations on the Hulk in Ang Lee's Hulk, except, in-comparison to this game (and newer MCU cgi... had to get a swipe in there somehow :P), that Hulk and his expressions look better and that's from a film from fucking 2003
10:18 They spent more time on this skull then the entire rest of the game....Simply fascinating.
don't be fooled, they probably just downloaded it off fuckin thingiverse
How did Kong get so much bigger then his parents? I would’ve thought they would be as big as Kong was.
Why did they brought his childhood at this point?
It could be great, but this game messed it up.
This game makes me feel kongstapated.
I refuse to believe that they DIDNT try to make it worse than Gollum
I flippin died when the worm death animation clipped through the boulder
this is making gollum look decent
That’s not Gollum in that game, my guy. That’s Howard Lovecraft all grown up from the children’s film of the same name. 😂
@@Jolis_Parsecyou misread what they said..
OP said that this kong game is making the Gollum game looking decent in comparaison.

This whole game and its cut scenes remind me of deleted scenes from movies with cgi characters that weren’t ever finished.
I love how not only is it following the PS2 licenced game formula, everything about it LOOKS like it too. Just...technically HD.
I didn't think it was possible for an actual studio to release something as bad as gollum in the same year.....but here we are.
I remember seeing a clip of this game where it was a cutscene before Kong fought a monster, but the devs forgot to make an animation for the monster for the cutscene so it's just a random png jumpscare before the cutscene continued
Honestly glad you guys post regularly. Always happy to get my weekly Mind Pulp entertainment
"It's like a dinosaur but like a bird" no really wow man, then you're gonna tell me water is wet
Yeah, these guys are sometimes a bit IQ deficient.

Yes! I was literally watching a video about this game and literally my first thought was “Oh man, I hope Mind Pulp plays this game!” And low and behold, just hopped onto RUclips and saw this! This totally brightened what has been a pretty crappy day! Love your channel! You guys are awesome and hilarious!
Hahahah dude same. I literally just commented the same thing. These guys are great 👍
This is the first time I’ve ever heard this game and judging by the thumbnail, I wish I still didn’t know 😂
I love you guys, Mind Pulp! You've gotten me through some tough and dark times in my highschool days and you're doing the same thing for my college experience. Thanks for giving a reason to smile everyday. You guys rock!
Thanks for sticking around for so long! good luck with college!
I hope developers keep making bad games like these just so we can see some more Mind Pulp.

The lake of piss is the developers of the game showing you that they are not taking the piss out, they're serious.
Personally, I don’t think it’s the worst because it’s somehow entertainingly bad. There’s some stuff to laugh at (the worm, piss lake, and Kong’s walk) and I kinda liked the leap mechanic. What I consider worst is that there is nothing good about it, no entertainment in any sense. There are minor stupid things in the game to laugh at, depending on the sense of humor.
The best thing about this game is it introduced me to this channel! Love the dynamic between you two

Thanks Mind Pulp! I was on the fence but definitely getting this now! It was this or Spider-Man 2
One of the BIG differences in care in how the Peter Jackson's King Kong and this one was made is who the publisher decided to hand the project to. Ubisoft handed it to one of its OWN subdivisions, so a lot of money would be invested tso it would be made properly. This one was handed to some subcontractor in Chile so it could be made for as cheap as humanly possible. Not saying that developers in Chilr are any less competent, but I'm willing to bet they were paid like crap and not really given what they would need to succeed.
The future will be full of games like this and the gems will be always fewer
