Then, realizing that there's no hope for escape, the doctor still does the whole C.O.R.E transfer thing before they both die.
apparently the entire base game was real, it was the dlc that was "all just a dream" because the doctor needed his memories recorded so she could send the proof, so she kept him alive until it was all downloaded with all the stuff he went through in the dlc. still didn't like the ending

About the combat: They actually changed it in a patch to where the monsters line up one by one to be clobbered. On release the monsters would all mob you at once, actually making you have to block instead of just dodging, and players complaints on this had them completely retool the enemy AI to where its just dodge until you win.

Imagine living in current times, where people universally agree that a “it was a dream/hallucination” ending is the worst possible thing that can happen to a story, and still making this decision.
Impact hammers which use blanc cartridges to accelerate it's striker probably count as potential hammers, because their energy is stored as potential energy of chemicals in the cartridge.

I said it in another video about this DLC already, but: I really feel like they chose this ending specifically to drive a final stake through the game and be done with it
Crazy how the devs behind dead space looked at thier final outing with the 3rd game's dlc and was like ya know what let's make another ending that's even worse than that
So they had a chance to revive the deadspace-like genre and decided "let's just butcher this shit and then repeat the exact same top-tier mistake that happened in ds3."
The problem with the combat for people is that they over complicated stuff for themselves thinking it had more to it when in reality it was a simple rhythm mechanic where you go side to side with the joystick or two buttons.
Besides the confusingly simple dodging, it's just fundamentally broken. It's unfun, it's the exact same animations and spamming one button over and over again with little variation and almost every enemy is fought the exact same way.
@@OrionDawn15 exactly. Like it looks like some have differing abilities but their roles are never defined by their abilities instead they occasionally spit at you or turn invisible. But they all constantly run and swing their arms at you. It also doesn’t help that the tentacles thing is with every single enemy type and not just 1 type making that whole thing mundane real quick.
I paid $10 to rent it thinking it can't be that bad. I usually play games on hard but after just one big fight, I gave up and put it to easy. The combat has to be one of the worst I have seen and the story was so predictable that I was rolling my eyes every time something happened. At least Forspoken was trying to do something different, this is bad all around.
Wow, that ending. I still can't believe what a dud this game turned out to be. I remember when the game came out and people were saying it was amazing and it honestly just astonishes me how low some people's bars are.
For the price of one diablo 4 horse armor bundle, you too can play a 90 minute adventure of the exact same sifi hallways and non-gameplay from the main game!
Are you telling me that after paying 80 bucks for the "deluxe edition" You get a couple of ugly costumes and an awful DLC that is the actual ending of the game but cut off and sold separately for 16 bucks where I can dodge dodge hit hit dodge dodge over and over in the same looking dark corridors again 7 months after the release the game? It's what I breathe for!!
If Callisto gets added to gamepass, it still has to compete with every other game on the service to be worthy of your time. Considering all the Yakuza games are on there, I think that's a long shot.
Hot take, Hero Factory made better use of the CCBS than G2, and I'm not talking about the aesthetic of the parts being a better match. The entire conception of CCBS is that armor attach point and limb attach points are the same, and that means that smaller sets get to be fully posable with a basic skeleton, whereas bigger sets can make a complex lattices of flexible joints, like say building up realistic shoulder blades. Because even the smallest links still had a free ball joint, armor could still be layered on these larger woven structures, and with technic pins still accessible you could still tie in older Bionicle parts or make certain parts still rigid with classic technic lift arms and bars. Compare the Larger and non-humanoid Hero Factory sets to anything from G2 and you will see that this is exactly what they do, creating interesting non-standard skeletons and layering the existing armor pieces in interesting ways. But lets be honest here, the G2 Toa weren't badly designed, in fact they were great, the gear function was well integrated and the posability and stature of the models was good. No, the real issue is that they made next to no new armor or accent/texture pieces for the series. And that's like the whole point of that third layer, to give different series unique textures, but I guess after the mask and weapons they didn't have the budget. But if thats the case, why even bother trying? Presumably a big reason Lego dropped Bionicle is because they were shying away from series that heavily relied on new and unique molds for every season, why try again if you know that the greebly, kitbashy, texture is what made the series iconic? Regardless, I wanted to mention what CCBS SHOULD have been able to do, because while I can seriously praise the Toa, the bad guys sucked, there were barely any Rahi, and no vehicles, but Hero Factory had all of that, meaning it was not an inherent limitation of CCBS, just a total lack of confidence or ingenuity.
Honestly, Bionicle dead space sounds really good! Maybe someone could make up some sort of plot about the makuta talking over the red star or something!
my favorite part about callisto protocol is that it was supposed to originally take place in the PUBG universe until the devs found out that PUBG sucks
I wonder what's worse: this unnecessary DLC or Forspoken's DLC which tried to set up a sequel? Also, you should try Slayers X, Oboeshoes. For some reason, I think you'd like it.
I enjoyed the line about autocomplete QTEs. The accessibility push in the industry is genuinely making games better, regardless of if you have disabilities or not. I'm fully able to do this shit, but who am I trying to prove myself to by doing QTEs, taking fall damage or playing on hard mode?
I remember in certain cases, they would make me feel more invested in action scenes because I was involved in them. The indirect control of watching a glorified movie and tapping a button here and there to avoid nasty things happening could be fun, but... they're hard to get right, I suspect. Too often they become either too obvious/trivial, or too sudden and complex. I'd say Quantic Dream do them best, mostly because their whole games tend to revolve around them, which means they can set patterns like "this button usually performs a jump", "this one will be a grab/climb", etc. Instead of "Wait, why would it be B to block in this event, and X to dodge? That's the opposite of the game's usual controls!" Even worse is when the button input is random. The only skill being checked is lightning fast eye-to-finger response time... which not everyone has, and some of those of us who can mange it are like "I can do this, but it's not particularly fun, and it makes me miss the actual scene while I'm staring angrily at where the button prompt pops up".
@@hazukichanx408 The Quantic Dream stuff works sometimes and some of the controller gimmicks in the Supermassive Games games occasionally. They do those things to immerse you, though. It's the exact opposite of most games that take you out of the experience. Mashing a button to lift a door doesn't make you feel like you're actually doing it and in some instances, you can't watch the glorified movie because you're looking around for button prompts like in God Of War. I'd argue that QTEs are detrimental in 99/100 games.
@@56bturn A lot of dumb, but vocal, gamers out there. I went for trophies quite hard on the PS3 and I've beaten a lot of hellishly hard games, but I'm 28 now; why would I put myself through an objectively worse time for no reason. Get me an easy mode in Dark Souls From Software.
My favorite part was when mr colisto jumped down and said its protocol time and calistro protocalled all over the bad guy. Truely one of the games of all time
I feel that Callisto protocol is like Asura's wrath: both games ended with a cliffhanger but neither was a commercial success so they basically decided to end everything with a DLC. The difference is that Asura's DLC ending is really fucking good while this....meh
@@leviticusprime4904 On one hand the gameplay was really dull but on the other hand i was enjoying the madness and the story so much that i didn't care. Could have been an anime and i would have still loved it.
The snow is probably the one thing in this game that looks good in this game. Sure the graphical fidelity is exceptional, but it feels wasted when half of the game is grey sci-fi hallways
You missed the best part of the DLC lore, that confirms that the evil cult behind the game's events is Kallipolis, the evil cult that does the deathgames in PUBG. The entire game is literally a Battle Royale on a space prison to find the winner winner chicken dinner.
Oboe and other roast videos should be mandatory watch for devs after they put out their garbage. This will filter out those without the mental resilience to continue working in the industry and do better. Yes, I am aware that it's mostly publishers to blame for the current state of affairs. Devs, however, have demanded and gained a lot of benefits in the past. They, however, care nothing for consumers, just like their bosses, and have never demanded to be allowed to make good games. Well, it's time to change that.
This game is definitely a good example of good visuals trying to hide every other issue the game has. Truly a pinnacle of mid games. At least it's not as broken as Cyperpunk lmao

I remember when the game came out and people were saying it was amazing and it honestly just astonishes me how low some people's bars are.
For the price of one diablo 4 horse armor bundle, you too can play a 90 minute adventure of the exact same sifi hallways and non-gameplay from the main game!
Are you telling me that after paying 80 bucks for the "deluxe edition" You get a couple of ugly costumes and an awful DLC that is the actual ending of the game but cut off and sold separately for 16 bucks where I can dodge dodge hit hit dodge dodge over and over in the same looking dark corridors again 7 months after the release the game? It's what I breathe for!!
Better than horse armor
@@discoaliceyou did basically just describe dead space right there buddy
@@johndodo2062 You're really gotta compare this flop to the dead space remake? lmao (that doesn't have DLCs)
If Callisto gets added to gamepass, it still has to compete with every other game on the service to be worthy of your time. Considering all the Yakuza games are on there, I think that's a long shot.
Rather dead space on game pass
Yak only when I'm feelin weeby
New Dead Space is on gamepass, lol. But hey, if you still overpaying for ps+(like me) then you can play the hit game calisto protocol
I cant wait for the sequel where jacob comes back as darth callisto and only that other girl from the boys can talk him out of his murder trance
I always thought the Company Logo on the upgrade stations was a Hamburger!
I didn’t know they could afford to make dlc
These are the most realistic in-game Bionicles ever.
"Oh no its hero factory."
It's just like Dead Space 3, but this time it only took them one game to paywall the real ending, that's impressive!!
Calisto protocol is the prologue to the entire Bionicle universe.
Ngl you should actually play psychonauts 1 and 2 though
Hot take, Hero Factory made better use of the CCBS than G2, and I'm not talking about the aesthetic of the parts being a better match. The entire conception of CCBS is that armor attach point and limb attach points are the same, and that means that smaller sets get to be fully posable with a basic skeleton, whereas bigger sets can make a complex lattices of flexible joints, like say building up realistic shoulder blades. Because even the smallest links still had a free ball joint, armor could still be layered on these larger woven structures, and with technic pins still accessible you could still tie in older Bionicle parts or make certain parts still rigid with classic technic lift arms and bars. Compare the Larger and non-humanoid Hero Factory sets to anything from G2 and you will see that this is exactly what they do, creating interesting non-standard skeletons and layering the existing armor pieces in interesting ways.
But lets be honest here, the G2 Toa weren't badly designed, in fact they were great, the gear function was well integrated and the posability and stature of the models was good. No, the real issue is that they made next to no new armor or accent/texture pieces for the series. And that's like the whole point of that third layer, to give different series unique textures, but I guess after the mask and weapons they didn't have the budget. But if thats the case, why even bother trying? Presumably a big reason Lego dropped Bionicle is because they were shying away from series that heavily relied on new and unique molds for every season, why try again if you know that the greebly, kitbashy, texture is what made the series iconic? Regardless, I wanted to mention what CCBS SHOULD have been able to do, because while I can seriously praise the Toa, the bad guys sucked, there were barely any Rahi, and no vehicles, but Hero Factory had all of that, meaning it was not an inherent limitation of CCBS, just a total lack of confidence or ingenuity.
Honestly, Bionicle dead space sounds really good! Maybe someone could make up some sort of plot about the makuta talking over the red star or something!
Ironic that both Dead Space 3 and Callisto both have a real ending locked behind DLC
my favorite part about callisto protocol is that it was supposed to originally take place in the PUBG universe until the devs found out that PUBG sucks
they pulled a "it was all a dream", how low can you fall?
Take a shot every time he says "Callisto Protocol" challenge
Just remember to get your affairs in order first
Good thing I modeled my drinking growing up after Winston Churchill
The very existence of this game is such a tragedy. I’ve never been so deeply disappointed in a game as I was last December.
I'd legit already forgotten this game existed tbh
UA-cam age restricted the video because you said hero factory was bad. Hero factory gang forever
You have my support
Can’t believe this came out 5 months ago 😂
The crusher in the air vent reminds me of Galaxy Quest
I wonder what's worse: this unnecessary DLC or Forspoken's DLC which tried to set up a sequel?
Also, you should try Slayers X, Oboeshoes. For some reason, I think you'd like it.
I enjoyed the line about autocomplete QTEs. The accessibility push in the industry is genuinely making games better, regardless of if you have disabilities or not.
I'm fully able to do this shit, but who am I trying to prove myself to by doing QTEs, taking fall damage or playing on hard mode?
Tbh I totally take autocomplete qte's any day... I like them almost as much as complex ammo and equipment repair systems...
I remember in certain cases, they would make me feel more invested in action scenes because I was involved in them. The indirect control of watching a glorified movie and tapping a button here and there to avoid nasty things happening could be fun, but... they're hard to get right, I suspect. Too often they become either too obvious/trivial, or too sudden and complex. I'd say Quantic Dream do them best, mostly because their whole games tend to revolve around them, which means they can set patterns like "this button usually performs a jump", "this one will be a grab/climb", etc. Instead of "Wait, why would it be B to block in this event, and X to dodge? That's the opposite of the game's usual controls!"
Even worse is when the button input is random. The only skill being checked is lightning fast eye-to-finger response time... which not everyone has, and some of those of us who can mange it are like "I can do this, but it's not particularly fun, and it makes me miss the actual scene while I'm staring angrily at where the button prompt pops up".
@@hazukichanx408 The Quantic Dream stuff works sometimes and some of the controller gimmicks in the Supermassive Games games occasionally.
They do those things to immerse you, though. It's the exact opposite of most games that take you out of the experience. Mashing a button to lift a door doesn't make you feel like you're actually doing it and in some instances, you can't watch the glorified movie because you're looking around for button prompts like in God Of War.
I'd argue that QTEs are detrimental in 99/100 games.
I don't get the people that complained it makes games easier. Don't turn them on?
@@56bturn A lot of dumb, but vocal, gamers out there. I went for trophies quite hard on the PS3 and I've beaten a lot of hellishly hard games, but I'm 28 now; why would I put myself through an objectively worse time for no reason.
Get me an easy mode in Dark Souls From Software.
Wait what? The game was all in Mr Callisto’s head as he was dying from Being-a-Torso Syndrome?
But that’s stupid!
The games true ending is behind a paywall. *Asuras Wrath enters the chat*
Not only Asura, Prince of Persia (2008) did the same thing.
@@hiddenshadow2105 did not know that
@@Sithplayer Now you know
(Dead Space 3 also did the same with DLC ending)
oh my god they actually did the worse ending possible.
One of my greatest “I’ll pass” games.
My favorite part was when mr colisto jumped down and said its protocol time and calistro protocalled all over the bad guy. Truely one of the games of all time
I feel that Callisto protocol is like Asura's wrath: both games ended with a cliffhanger but neither was a commercial success so they basically decided to end everything with a DLC.
The difference is that Asura's DLC ending is really fucking good while this....meh
Also Asura’s wrath is an actual fun game
@@leviticusprime4904 On one hand the gameplay was really dull but on the other hand i was enjoying the madness and the story so much that i didn't care.
Could have been an anime and i would have still loved it.
Would Callisto Protocol qualify for the top 10 best snow in video games?
The snow is probably the one thing in this game that looks good in this game. Sure the graphical fidelity is exceptional, but it feels wasted when half of the game is grey sci-fi hallways
This is the funniest commentary ever. This video alone has dynamically added 3 extra years to my life.
This channel is my go to sleep comfort channel, but I've watched each video multiple times now. Please clone yourself
You would like pongsifu and grimbeard
You missed the best part of the DLC lore, that confirms that the evil cult behind the game's events is Kallipolis, the evil cult that does the deathgames in PUBG. The entire game is literally a Battle Royale on a space prison to find the winner winner chicken dinner.
Ngl... I was kinda expecting a jump scare at the end to make up for the ending L...
I absolutely love the hero factory bits. You rock
Thank you oboshoes for your sacrifice
Wow , I feel like everyone lost in this deal
2:27 My man, try navigating the skill tree in Kingdoms of Amalur. Nothing can beat that clusterf@ck.
Hello Mr. Oboes Hoes Games. It brings me great joy each time you mention bionicles. 🎉
Hoes. Lol
Reminder that DSP defended this game with his life XD
Now that's a name, I haven't heard in a long time. A long time.
0:52 i always knew you were a man of fine taste and culture oboe.
Oboe and other roast videos should be mandatory watch for devs after they put out their garbage. This will filter out those without the mental resilience to continue working in the industry and do better. Yes, I am aware that it's mostly publishers to blame for the current state of affairs. Devs, however, have demanded and gained a lot of benefits in the past. They, however, care nothing for consumers, just like their bosses, and have never demanded to be allowed to make good games. Well, it's time to change that.
6:15 "Unlock the hammer"
What, not going to make a Hammerlock reference? I'm disappointed.
How can I laugh at this? There's no The Dead Speak!
The Dead Speaks in this video.
The kinetic hammer unlike all those non kinetic hammers
Selling the real ending as DLC? So these ARE the same guys that worked on Dead Space 3
The true horror of Callisto Protocol: The Bionicles were really Hero Factory the whole time ...
Trying to sell dlc for the game after the game failed to reach goals and expectations is literally like beating a dead horse with a bag of money...
Picturing money bags from Spyro right now and I’m rolling
Glad to see people hating on this. I saw too many simps trying to say the ending was good and was a good redemption for him.
John Callisto had "the dream", lol.
This game is definitely a good example of good visuals trying to hide every other issue the game has. Truly a pinnacle of mid games.
At least it's not as broken as Cyperpunk lmao
how the hell did this game get a dlc???
