i love your content Alex and your humor never gets old I'm so excited for the next one and keep making these amazing videos

Hey could you do x men origin
Punisher doesn't even have powers. He's just a normal guy who's good with guns and hand to hand combat. So he seems like a hero that isn't particularly hard to adapt.
If The Punisher is a hero then I'm Queen Latifah
Yeah his only power is plot armor
@@JakNasty69 Omg hey Queen Latifah I'm a big fan!
@@JakNasty69 I am Liam Nesson

I can't think of a single time the Punisher has done anything villainous.
This man's style of editing is pure art, and will never cease to amaze me!
It's ripped off or heavily inspired by Big Boss... But nobody cares lol
I find it incredibly annoying
@@maxgemstone7257 and who inspired Big Boss's style? Internet Historian...
Stop talking nobody asked or cares. You’re a moron
It’s super annoying and unfunny to be honest. He’s way to extra
The Punisher doesn't make threats of violence, he makes promises
It would be dope if someone made a Punisher game that is semi-open world and having a Sleeping Dogs inspired hand to hand combat system along with Max Payne inspired shooter mechanics, it would be awesome seeing The Punisher pull off these John Wick styled executions while of course also performing brutal environmental ones.
john wick style wouldn't fit with punisher tho
@@cloudsombrerowhy not? The agile ness? They’re both effective terminators.
@@Divergent-ym3pydifference is tho only half the time u know John wick was at the scene punisher however we’ll I’m sure u know
they were gonna make it like that but that team went and made saints row instead
Watch dogs has a similar story in major plots to the live action show
Player gets information
Person sent to kill player’s family
Probably more similarities
It's funny how the ESRB initially thought this game deserved an adults only ratting just from the violence alone when just a few years later we started getting games like Prototype and Dead Space.
The issue was the interactivity
Those games don't have interrogations
@@Pointman11111yeah, it's not like dead space has one of the most famous interactive sequences in gaming history where the devs made a specific point of telling you to stick a needle in your eye without ever giving you specific instructions or anything 😅
@@lithuaniaball That’s in Dead Space 2.
@@TheSaxualHealer well, I've been wrong before 🤷♂️
Postal 1and 2 lol
The Punisher as a character is the definition of "God has let me live another day and I'm about to make it everyone's problem."
Despite Garth Ennis being how he is about superheroes, it's important to note that he has a high amount of respect for Superman. He always writes Superman well, compared to how dirty he does Wolverine, for example.
What's the difference between Ennis Superman and Ennis Wolverine?
Garth Ennis writes such a great Punisher and understands the character. My favorite quote however is when he said “ The Punisher is not a hero and deserves to be put down like a rabid dog in a alley “
@@DashingPunkSamuraiHe just doesn’t understand the concept of the Punisher. The Punisher is a hero, he is an anti-hero. Ennis’ Punisher is just straight up a psychopathic villain protagonist
@@simoneidson21no Ennis’s punisher isn’t a hero in the same way Travis touchdown Isn’t a hero
@@concept5631wolverine is “realistic” while Superman is an ideal.
Fun fact: during the boss fights your supposed to find and fire on exposed weak points, for example with jigsaw i believe the back of the armor issnt as protectes
I would love a Punisher game today, but with Disney owning Marvel I doubt he would ever even see another movie or series. He's a great character and would definitely fit in todays gaming landscape even if they make it a cover-shooter game like Uncharted style
I want Insomniac to make a Punisher game
Edit: fixed minor spelling error
But it needs to be violent, like doom. Don't hold back, don't make it family friendly.
@@The_Speak_EZDOOM devs + Insomnic Devs + Mortal Kombat devs made a Punisher game..
@@riot_rotMK devs would go crazy with executions
Did you read the last comics of punisher? They butchered him. No thanks
17:06 Man Alex went hard on that ending, it was pretty badass.
and that also proves how amazing the ost of this game is.
It sounds like 28 Days Later theme

i like how the video game counterpart of this man is way more threatening than his movie counterpart
The editing of these videos is just next level. It must take days to finish just one video. Hats off to you, it’s really something else.
Guess I’m ur first reply
Hi!!!11
Nice to see you cap, i love your videos and its good to see you in the comment section.
When the world needed him the most, he arrived to give us another legendary meme filled masterpiece.
In all seriousness, glad to have to you back, Alex😅😁. This game truly is something else. I miss the days when Marvel was darker during the 2000s, as in my opinion, it led to some of their most unique content. Not all successful, but unique nonetheless. This game, Marvel Nemesis, etc. What a time.😅
Even then it was rare with only Punisher and Xmen origins Wolverine being HC
Wolverine was made under activision tho bc they had the marvel game license from 2000 - 2014
Idk if Marvel would have greenlit a game like this but we have to wait and see how Insomniacs Wolverine will turn out
Rocksteadys Suicide squad will be HC as well with blood and guts and everything
I picked up this game a year or two ago and I was surprised just how well it held up in terms of graphics and gameplay. It’s by no means perfect, but it’s a hell of a fun, bloody time! And the fact that it was basically the precursor to saints row makes me love it even more!
It’s a shame that we’ll never get to see that open world punisher sequel and given how Marvel has been basically doing everything in their power to reduce him to a shell of his former glory (like come on, why remove his iconic symbol just because a bunch of idiots tend to use it and give him something worse?!), I don’t think we’ll ever see another punisher game to this quality or better again.
Watching the super best friends play this game is legit one of the best experiences I remember on yt 😂 Glad to have you back Alex 🙏🏾
Pun-pun Kill-chan definitely needs another game.
@@SomeRandomJackAssbut he has a family!!
How can it be better than playing the game yourself? Wtf ia wrong with people nowadays
@@FrogFriend3379 Family family family
@@mathinho1237 You act like its a new thing lol. Lets plays have been around since the beginning of youtube
I remember LOVING this game as a kid! Didnt have a clue who The Punisher was tho
Didnt hear about him again until several years later when I discovered the movie, and then possibly not again until the Netflix show (which is also amazing)
As a kid i thought he was just a game character, it was my favorite game.
@@Narko_Markohe has some similarities to early 2000s game characters like Claude and max payne
Knocked another video out of the park, Alex. Your videos and blink-and-you'll-miss-them gags are hilarious, and this is probably my new favorite RUclips channel
Now THIS is how you show a game’s story!
I wouldn't mind if we got another Punisher game, that would be awesome.
Only if it isn't woke, gay, family friendly or censored. When you are about to wish for something, consider the time and year you are living in.
@@IskenderCaglarM41B441 that's true.
@@IskenderCaglarM41B441Think you need to go outside and breath some fresh air get some oxygen flowing to that brain of yours because your just making stuff up to get mad about
@@IskenderCaglarM41B441yeah disney marvel killed the punisher recently because of the woke bullshit AND blue lives matter dipshits using the iconography without actually reading it.
@@IskenderCaglarM41B441Thats why i dont want cod waw remake or remaster.
I never understood or respected Ennis' hatred for superheroes. There's plenty of mature ways to tell a superhero story, but he chooses "edgy teen" almost all the time. I also believe if you hate superheroes, you hate a significant part of comics. It's wild to me that someone can get popular while rejecting a large part of the comic genre. Ennis might not even have gotten as popular as he did if he wasn't writing in the 00's, the edgelord decade.
Maybe he hates superpowered heroes?
Idk
ppl like OP will never understand that sometimes 'it isn't what it seems' a such common misconception that the Public Opinion loves to make about Ennis is that he hates Superheroes... because he hates Superheroes......😐
he doesn't hate Superheroes for the sake of it... he still likes them especially Superman, wonder woman, batman etc.
but what he hates is what's 'around' super-heroes and 'how' super-heroes came to be later throughout the ages of comics... its why in The Boys comic, he tackles on what's 'around' super-heroes and how they don't actually care about Superheroes and use them for profit which in the same way is presented in real life... the comic/superhero industry isn't sun-shine and rainbows... there's A LOT that go behind the scenes and its why Ennis wanted to deviate as much as possible but not in a hateful way in which the Public Opinion perceives The Boys comic as just the ultimate edge for the sake of edge... ppls way of thinking gets so twisted easily and thus perceiving that specific thing as Horrible and how it's just is.
@@godzillazfrictionthe boys may be the worst comic i have ever read
@Windwalker88 starts off well then gets shitter and shitter
ffs, you 2 are the epitome of never saying 'how'
This channel is amazing and always has been. So glad you posted right now, I’m just sitting here at my theatre rehearsal doing nothing right now so this is perfect timing
The saved citizen thanking him and him not even caring is the perfect distillation of that character. He genuinely is not doing this to help anyone. He's effectively a sentient gun that needs a direction to be pointed in and the general public is just lucky its criminals he goes after.
When I heard the PlayStation achievement sound at 16:12 I legitimately thought it was my PS4 updating/downloading something.
And my PlayStation is in an entirely different room.
And not even on.
Truly, we do live in a society.
When I was a kid this game fascinated me with violence and swears but after I replayed in my 20s I realised that it has a solid gameplay too, the gunplay here is better than most modern TPS
"How many bodies, Castle?"
"Not sure... there were a lot of explosions." lmao
Man this video was amazing and the editing was nuts. Gonna binge all your videos now legit
16:11 “it’s definitely playable” is the best review I’ve ever heard 😂
I would absolutely love to see an open world Punisher game made by Rockstar or maybe even Insomniac. This video was an absolute banger (pun intended) and I'll have this on repeat while doing my schoolwork
Edit: I was wrong. Naughty Dog should make the next Punisher game
Not rockstar they'll just make it super realistic with bad gameplay like they did rdr2
Yeah rockstar is the perfect choice for this type of game. They made manhunt after all.
@@IskenderCaglarM41B441yeah but that was a long time ago I doubt the team still around
@@MetricRetr0 just because rockstar makes super realistic games doesn't mean a punisher game still wouldn't be amazing if it was made by them.
@@iraford5788 The point is rdr2 has bad gameplay and isn't so fun but maybe if they did make it they might learn from rdr2
Your editing adds so freaking much great work
Great video essay, loved the editing/FX and I totally agree with all your pointers.
Happy to say you rightfully earned my sub to your channel here.
Bro. Can you imagine a Insomniac Punisher game? Set at the same universe of their Spuder Man games? That would be great!
This game was the first time I ever saw Iron Man in video media. Loved the tiny bits of wider Marvel Universe stuff in the game
That's one small critique i have for Insomniacs Spider man
There are no other superheroes at least as cameos
Back then all games had some
@@Pointman11111fair point
@@Pointman11111 I think Insomniac said they didn’t want to take away from Spider Man being the focus in the game by having other heroes appear or something
@@chandllerburse737 Yeah they did and it doesn't make sense at all
Punisher had multiple cameos and it still worked
@@Pointman11111 cameos are overdone nowadays especially marvel propertie so spiderman game not having cameo is a good thing imo
love your editing and comedy, really engaging video man :D
The editing is absolutely insane just subbed.
This game is honestly one of my all time favorite games, been playing this game since I was like 3 LOL. I wish more people knew about it, feels like a hidden gem of a game.
The soundtrack in this game is engrained into my brain IT'S SO GOOD.
This brings back so many memories, I remember buying this from my local game shop and played it on my PS2. This was all me and my friends talked about back then.
Amazing video, keep up the good work !! Great editing loved it
Glad to see you back your videos are so funny
Outside of spiderman games, this is the best marvel game
Marvel ultimate alliance
Guardians of the galaxy
@@Pointman11111 ultimate alliance & X-men legends are great games but I think the punisher game is a lot more memorable for those who have played it. Guardians of the Galaxy was good but I don’t think it does anything crazy outside of its story.
I love your editing style so much
Opened to RUclips app on my phone to comment this. Editing was really funny and I loved the ending where you showed a compilation of game clips like Pyro. Great job man keep it up 👍
Top notch editing and video 👌 youve earned a sub.
Great video. Your editing is insane, and great all at once. Really hope that last song is from the game. I may have a new OST to listen to.
I just listened to the whole OST, it's not. I gotta find that song though, it's so good.
@redflames01, I found the song. It's Frank's Choice by Tyler Bates (Johnny E cover).
My favorite part was when Patrick star dunked a guy into a toilet and said "where's the money Lebowski?"
The editing is just amazing. Also as a fellow brit and spider-man fan I just love the sense of humour. Hats off to you Alex!
your creation process is incredibly solid that ending was both incredibly cool and funny
This needs an uncensored re-release seeing as the violence is pretty tame by todays standards.
I've played through this game so many times.
I have The Punisher No Mercy and yes it's pretty damn crap.
How is this tame? This is as violent as it gets.
i dont understand how you can perceive the Punishers violence as 'tame' just because its older.... sure the extreme details like the skin being ripped off and seeing layers behind it aren't there in the Punisher... but it's the context and depictions of it which is violent... ppl say this exact thing with Manhunt 1 which is just so stupid
@@IskenderCaglarM41B441 you need to play more horror games if you think that lol
There's one game I've seen a video on that is so damn violent I don't want to play it and I love gory games.
@@Gamesta100 I played dying light and resident evil 4
Well, until then there's always the PC version with the Gore Patch.
You also forgotten another detail with special interrogation. It can trigger Frank’s PTSD then follow it with a Whitt comeback if they get spared or killed.
- I have a Family!
(Kill) - Everyone Does.
(Spare) - Then go back to them.
Alex webb hands down is my favourite youtuber. His editing is a masterpiece and his topics are extremely interesting.
this was such a good video. thank u for making so amazing content!!
I had so many memories playing this masterpiece of a game in the PS2 i wish they make another punisher game but i know it's impossible

How did you manage to play it? Emulator I presume?
@@muaddib.atreides yeah you can emulate it for pc or console, but I chose ps2

Still got my og version of this beat it so many times. Played recently again still love it
Damn dude I love how much more in depth your videos are becoming
They should put Punisher into the next Spider-man game, sort of like what they did with Taskmaster in the first one. Peter or Miles would get intel on Punisher’s next murder and they would go there to stop him.
@@mohammadtamim3843He's a guy with a gun, you expect him to do well against 2 spider men?

I got to play the unedited demo at The Punisher booth at a Long Beach comic convention in 2004 also with an early screening of the movie the same month.
WAIT WAIT WAIT

Frank isn’t a psychopath
Never forget the running gag from Super Best Friends Play. “I have a FAMILY! (Family… Family… Family…)”
it is always a good day when you upload
Wasn't there a mod to delete the censorship? I remember playing this waaaay way back and loving it, this kind of game would definitely have a hard time coming out today
There is on the PC. The only thing it doesn't censor is the one where you hang a black criminal in the prison level.
Alex you are a legend. Love your videos
Alex's videos have a nice tone and vibe to them honestly
I always feel relaxed his vids
Maybe its the voice
OH MAN.... i remember playing this game back in the day. The level where there is this funeral scene. Just epic. I loved this game. I WISH they remastered this game.
The Punisher is the SR1/SR2 to Deadpool (2013)'s SRTT/SRIV.
And now Suicide Squad kill the justice league will be the new SRIV just with 4 player coop, hordes of enemies more different and upgradeable traversal methods and at least 5 different boss fights
i would play a remaster uncensored version
hell i'd pay for it, looks dope
i wish you could upload more often bec this content is a master piece
Wait Volition made this game?!
Man good jobs on using the music and sound effects from the game❤
great video man , , my favorite childhood game.
It fucking sucks that Frank doesn't exist in the comics anymore.
Because people want feel good comics in marvel, not realistic and violent comics. Its a shame, people complain so much, and so whiny
He doesn't?
@@IskenderCaglarM41B441marvel axed any future comics with him, probably because snowflakes these days want positive hero's, not a realistic anti hero
@@thegamingcook785 that's a shame
Oh boy yeah
It's finally here
The Chad we need but we don't deserve
The game is still banned in most countries and it actually had to be censored in the US to avoid the infamous Adults only (18+) rating which sony, MS and Nintendo hates
Great vid, man!
Love any time someone makes a video about this game. It’s in my top 5 PS2 goats and I just played it a few days ago lol
It’s always a good day when the number 1 fan of Toby magurie uploads

I still have this played it the other day still holds up good story

Amazing video. Subbed.
I used to play it at the barber when I was a kid.
Good times.
That gameplay of No Mercy looks like one of those over-the-top parodies that are in other media, like "Righteous Slaughter 7." 😂
