You know, I remember there was a supplementary website for this game (it's been long since taken down), taking the form of the in universe bad guy's company's blog which had some pretty major piss-takes against AAA treatment of overworking and underpaying game developers, long before said practices became part of the standard public discourse about AAA game companies. If nothing else, I respect The Return of Matt Hazard for that.
This is most def a troll lol 1.the only ppl that think borderlands (1,2 and 3) is funny are the same ppl that not only think american idol is television but hot topic is where individuals shop,and that mall metal is emo or whatever scene your tryin to steal from and act as if you came up with it today kids as well as the same ppl that picked up a controller once it became popular and then think they have the right to dictate what direction any game (especially the ones they have no interest in and never intend to play (play as in pay full price then buy their way to 100 completion)
Sony needs to make a AAAA game consisting entirely of vending machines spitting out soda cans when shot, pianos playing sonatas with machinegun bullets, working slides, Bionicles and robocrab so that they can make Oboeshoesgames happy.
It was a good idea, just not executed with any polish or passion. Only other "spoof" video games I can think of are that Bulletstorm thing taking the piss out of CoD, Trombone Champ (clearly a spoof of Wii Music), and I guess WarioWare in a sense.

To be fair, one of the lessons you learn at the school of infantry is how effective cardboard boxes are at providing cover and concealment from handgun caliber weapons. They also drove home the tactical significance of having a catch phrase involving your own name and how it substantially increases your combat effectiveness.
It isn't. Maybe three good jokes the entire thing: A few of the reactions to "It's Hazard time", the whole QA twin bit, and Sting Sniper-Scope's last encounter has decent banter. The entire rest of the thing is bleh, at best.
At least this game is funny, high on life was funny for like an hour and then when I ran out of weed I realized how stupid the writing is and stopped playing
The funniest joke in matt hazard is probably the ending of the digital-only sequel that was made of the first one bombed where matt hazard erases himself from existence
@@crawlingchaos2811 I never said anything about buying the game. Where did I propose anyone buy High on Life ? I doubt anybody is going to buy Eat Lead, or play it for that matter.

I rented this game through gamefly back in 09, and it felt like it was designed to be a rental game that you beat in like 2-3 nights. I enjoyed it though, even if it was a lil cringe, it was maybe a tad less cringe back in 09, or maybe I just liked it cuz I was 15 and played every other shooter at the time and I appreciated the parody aspect of it.

He knows. It is just not funny at all. Self-awareness is just a step, you need to do something with it to actually be funny. "Haha guys, I am in an fps and I am addressing you the viewers specifically" is weaksauce satire.
"This is more of a Classic Game Room kind of game." Aw damn :( just checked the CGR channel and looks like its mostly music videos these days. nice that he's still uploading, but I miss those old, monotone and chill game reviews
Well, self-aware humor was more of a novelty back then. Also, I appreciate parody games. Humor is subjective after all. That's why I watch this channel.
I remember seeing this on gametrailers (rip) and being super hyped for it. Of course, it was a bog-standard nothing tps, but it still kind of holds a special place in my heart
That final boss on the hardest difficulty is the most painful frustrating crap I ever had to endure to get this platinum.I literally wanted to fling my controller into orbit.
Seriously. I've done so many games considered harder than this one, but Eat Lead still remains the worst completion experience I've ever had. It was complete and utter misery.
I actually really fucking loved this game, sure the shooting and cover is rudimentary but this is like... a Michael Bay movie in terms of action and complexity, and it's an Adam Sandler comedy in terms of... well, comedy. literally the type of game you see at a blockbuster and rent for a weekend... or in 2023 it's a game you find on a torrent site randomly and acquire it questionably
Okay, this is probably the only example where I can sincerely say that the spoof demo for Bulletstorm did it better, and not in small part due to the fact that it was just like two minutes long. I mean, I'll freely admit that I like tongue-in-cheek humor on occasion, but that's gotta be one of the most dangerous subgenres there is. Either you land the jokes and get a chuckle from the audience or you really, _really_ fuck it up. There is no in between. See also: the different Borderlands games; Conker's Bad Fur Day; the Saints Row series; Psychonauts. (not saying which are good or bad examples, point is if you know which are bad, you _really_ notice it, right?)
Or if you've played it you only remember small bits with no context. Doubting if you actually played it or if you're mashing games together without knowing.
I actually loved this game when I first played it I was 15 😭 and my humor was broken but I do remember loving the “master chef” parody at the time lmao
This game reminds me of the parody movies from the same decade. You know, the ones that tried *so hard* to clown on other movies that they accidentally circled around into parodies of themselves. Like they’re too self-aware. That’s this game. It’s trying so hard to be a parody of shooters, that it’s a parody of a shooter parody. The “Meet the Spartans” of video games.
4:43 This just broke me. I’m both laughing at the god awful animation, while also being mildly angry that somebody made this and thought it was acceptable to sell this hot garbage to an unsuspecting public for profit. It made me say fuck you to nobody in particular and I don’t know how to feel about that.
I have been unclear for a while as to whether you are playing through the game before the stream so you can discover all the bits and jokes LOL. I am going with yes. Whether it's off the cuff or rehearsed - either way you are really funny.
Wow, the only time I even remember seeing this game was from an old Game Informer magazine. I think it was this game that was on the cover or some page. Been a long time.
"It's Hazard time!"
This game was way ahead of its time.
They didn't even know the gravity of what they made
Morbin' time is ahead of every other time, any time.
A hazard male indeed

They also teach you to always bring a gun to a squirt gun battle

you get one for watching the credits too. i remember playing this just for the cheevos
I can't believe I platinumed this on PS3 so many years ago. That three kills with one grenade was a absolute nightmare to get.

It's Hazardin' time!
He has the appearance of Agent 47, the voice of Max Payne, and the personality of Duke Nukem.
Always hilarious when Oboe gets annoyed 😂
I laughed so hard the first time he said it's hazard time
glad someone else remembers battalion wars, i still keep the game case despite not having a wii just for the memories
Same honestly
Now, the true test of this video is if the youtube comments are more unfunny than the actual game itself.
This game had Matt Mercer as a voice actor of 3 side characters. Learning that is my favorite part of the video game.
I played this as a kid and thought it was an established IP
It is, indeed, as can be observed, it is logical to draw the conclusion that, as the aforementioned sources suggest, that it is, in fact, Hazard Time.
the MULTIPLAYER MASTER achievemnt was the best joke, there was no multiplayer.
I can't believe he actually said "it's hazard time" I can't even homie lmao
Im so glad you made a video about this. I know i played it as a kid but wasnt sure if it was a fever dream or not lmao
