I am aware this was made by a small team of developers in a year, some say they were pushed into this by the publisher. I have zero sympathy for them, they willingly accepted a deal which they must have known would make a shit game and yet they still went and did it and put their company name to the title. I would never touch another product made by this team as they clearly have no standards, they could have easily told the publisher to get stuffed, I damn well would if it were my business. Many years ago I delivered a video to a client and they insisted on having their own shitty music on it, I refused as I would not allow my company name to be associated with such tripe, it cost me a job but saved my reputation so later I was able to recover from the heat and get more bank. Conclusion is I would resign before my company pumped out garbage like this game.
devs always seem to have excuses made for them. The quality of games has plummeted in the last 5 years but you're not allowed to blame the devs becoming worse but they always have an excuse
The sad thing is, this game is so bad it's become famous and trendy to play just like Gollum. So in some strange way a game as bad as this can actually do well in terms of sales. People sometime enjoy playing games that are so bad they're funny to play.
its cosmetics, mack isnt depending on the fountain of eternal wealth that is youtube, hes using patreon. a wise man gives up on the youtube munneeeeeeeeh quickly because its so so so so restrictive and bad.
@thomasgellhaus306 you should. That game was amazing for the time and I want to replay it, the levels where you play as Kong are kind of meh, but the first person levels have so much atmosphere. Really cool concepts, like no ui.. so in order to check your bullets you press a button, and Jack Driscoll says out loud "Ten bullets on backup." Which I've not seen many games do before or since. You can also swap Equipment with the NPC's in game, its one of the most slept-on movie games tbh, its up there with the LOTR Video Games for me.
Mack: Doctor, doctor! I have digital feces! Doctor: Oh yes this looks bad. Welp, you know what that means...... Mack: What, man, what? Doctor: it's time for an X-RAY Mack: *DINGDINGDINGDINGDING*
Mack's gardening corner would be a nice series, whenever you have to play a garbage game we get garden and dog updates, we should have daily reports on your vegetables before long.
WorthAGrow is it worth growing these vegetables? Gotta see the seeds contents. Seed reviews, plant reviews, gardening supply reviews, garden tool reviews
@@KoozwadGotta love how everyone knows about it, and nothing gets done. No wonder they let the good guys win in movies and books, because it certainly doesn't happen in the real world.
@@Poppa_Capinyoaz Nah the reason for good guys winning in entertainment goes deeper. This is especially relevant for games. When people see or overcome adversity themselves they feel satisfied in a way, and it reduces or outright removes any urge to do so in the real world. In a way it can put people at peace, like all is well in the world, but it also means the WEFs and such of the world will walk all over them as it makes them weaker. Being too content/comfortable makes one weak. I could go on, but you probably get me.
This looks like something that was made by 3 guys during a weekend of smoking weed and playing StarCraft:brood war LAN in mom's basement in 1998 an one dude was like: Hey, imagine we make a King Kong game and you rin around and like, dude, you're just like this giant monkey, like
This game review reminds me of a joke. Guy at his doctor: "Doc I have a problem, I always take a shit at 6:00" Doctor: "So whats the problem?" Guy: "I wake up at 7:00"
This game is equivalent to Millenials. The best way to describe it is like this. You own a small coffee shop. You can only afford to pay slightly above minimum wage. You hire a new person and they turn up with no qualifications or experience and tell you that they want £40 an hour because they feel that they are worth it. And more importantly, deserve it.
I have just completed the Quake II base campaign for the very first time. It was one of the best gaming experiences I've had this year. I needed to come watch this video to come down and remember that pain and suffering exist.
@REY2000 but then people would know it was a shitpost. It's like a studio making commentary on the state of the industry by pretending it is an actual game... but that's digging deep, in all actuality it's just a shit game lol
A monkey slightly taller than a bush is not what I was expecting from King Kong. Consider my expectations subverted. I'm sure the part where he gets captured and taken to New York is later in the game. Right?
Nope, this is an origin story. New York is slated for Kong Phase 7, about 20 years from now. This will absolutely happen given the blockbuster sales of this title.
On any other sector, crunching a whole team to get a proportionally shit product within a year out to the public would get the publishers broke and in jail. Somehow game industry gets a free pass. My 47 pounds.
This is the old 90s licensed shovel-ware raised from the dead. If you keep the development costs low enough anything can make money if you slap a license on it.
Th Peter Jacksons King Kong game in early 2000's looked and felt WAYYY better than this..made u think back then.... imagine games in future.... 20 years later and we get this shit.
What boggles my mind is that this release doesn't even coincide with a movie or some other event we'd usually associated with a flagrant cash-grab. This bile was regurgitated on us for no rational reason whatsoever . . . Why create it? Why rush it? And then-seeing the result-how dare you release it? It's as if no one involved has ANY industry insight nor touched a game themselves. Gollum, now this . . . how broke and desperate are these companies?!
we are a point that even the worst AI can do better than this? wait a second.... maybe I am onto something here.......... is this garbage there to promote more A.I. and less human devs?
Jimmy: Why does Mack keep playing these games? Why doesn't he turn back? Hayes: There's a part of him that wants to Jimmy. A part deep inside himself that sounds a warning. But there's another part that needs to know. To defeat the thing which makes him afraid. "We could not understand because we were too far and could not remember because we were traveling in the night of first ages of those ages that are gone leaving hardly a sign, and no memories. We are accustomed to look upon the shackled form of a conquered monster, but there, there you could look at a thing monstrous and free."

You also managed to keep rep as well, Mack. Good on you.
Mack, will you do a review of Pandemic Train?
The fact the beep doesnt actually censor anything is just great.. cracks me up everytime
I know right ?! It's a like a beep that says "Mack, calm down! calm down mate!!!" HAHA
its cosmetics, mack isnt depending on the fountain of eternal wealth that is youtube, hes using patreon. a wise man gives up on the youtube munneeeeeeeeh quickly because its so so so so restrictive and bad.
That's why WAB's censor bleeps are the best I've seen IMO.
Gollumlike games is the new genre of games, i love it lol
Hahah😂
@whitmanmaleman Which terrible games have succeeded sorely off the sales from online influencers?
I see you have also watched Kevduits playthrough of the game. Man WTF has gaming come to?

How’s this a 2023 game, we had King Kong for PS2 in 2005, amazing game
It was on PC too.
& 360.
LOL, I was going to comment that this game looks WORSE than a PS2 game. Maybe I should actually try PJ's King Kong: The Movie: The Game....
Wasn't that the scary first person shooter thing? This game disturbed me as a kid, but it was amazing.

it gets better after a 100 hours
once you are fully levelled up then the sh1t kicks off... lmao.......corporational booshit....... vs gamers made games.......
🤣🤣🤣
God damn you folks need to read more
Lmao, that's definitely a starfield meme, I feel bad for even mentioning starfield in the comments section of....this mess of a game.
Indeed, because you'll have died by choking on faeces
The mere fact that 'Kong' is literally just the size of a regular gorilla is absolutely hilarious.
Mack needs to make a song for digital feces, like x-ray vision song, since it's gonna be like this a lot in the future.
Mack: Doctor, doctor! I have digital feces!
Doctor: Oh yes this looks bad. Welp, you know what that means......
Mack: What, man, what?
Doctor: it's time for an X-RAY
Mack: *DINGDINGDINGDINGDING*
X-Ray Vision X-Ray Vision X - X - Χ 🤟🤟🤟

More like 15-20 years ago.
@@paulandreotti1639 But the actual Peter Jacksons King Kong was actually good.
Unironically the Peter Jackson King Kong on PS2 was pretty good.
funny because the other kong game is incredible
Ah yes, a regular sized monkey punching crabs. This is the Kong game we've been looking for.
I do love a good, empassioned Mack rant. It's like sunshine for my digital garden.
The one you fertilize with your digital feces, right?
It's as they say, a little sunshine and feces and your garden will thrive 🌻
0:28 - the laughter here is priceless. Almost as epic as your laughing fit during Dead Matter :D
I couldn't stop laughing in tears. Couldn't stop laughing when the bleep sound couldn't catch up to your cussing
Mac descent into total insanity during this video is amazing
Mack's gardening corner would be a nice series, whenever you have to play a garbage game we get garden and dog updates, we should have daily reports on your vegetables before long.
I'd watch that!
Yeah I just commented that I’d like to see that too

Videogames are just a reflection of the current society lol. So basically dogshit.
I love your list pro/cons at the end of videos like this!
Thanks Mack for providing the entertainment you do, despite going through all the misery. That “How dare you!” Killed me 😂😂😂
I bet none of the developers will list this game on their resumes when they have to go looking for a new job in a few months.
This is the best video I have ever seen on this platform - tears running down my face
"Gollum is like elden Ring compared to this"😂😂😂
Only Mack can'l come up with this kind of quote
Videos like this is why I’m subscribed here years ago.
i was not expecting Greta "how dare you" 😂😂😂
Well, Hamas-Greta going strong these days...

Is your profile pic from motorstorm?
@@dustygearhead It is and is probably my favourite racing game.
0:33
The voice crack here whilst trying to stifle a laugh already has me crying.
"Giants: Citizen Kabuto" lets you play a giant monster thing, came out 23 years ago, and was infinitely better.
Good call, yep great game.
I loved that game! 😊
Rampage came out in 1986 and was infinitely better than that. It did not, however, translate into a great film.
Classic game.
I see you never played "The Oregon Trail" otherwise you would call this Kong "game" digital dysentery instead of faeces. 🥸 ☝🏼
Nice concise review with every gameplay detail we need to know. Well reasoned, worked out arguments.
"Pros: I got a refund" lmao
i started laughing as soon as you did in the vid, that was great needed that thanks.
You know it's serious when he edits in more than just the guy from Men in Black

Bloody hell. This thing makes that dead critter… no, dead letter… that broken zombie thing look like a masterpiece.

Don't forget they expect to be tipped as well Mack!
I’ve already seen reviews and heard about the game, but soon as I saw you made a video about it I knew this would be the review to watch 🤣
holy shit... this looks straight out of 1994
Loving the return of Old Meg as a guest character in this new arc, Mack
Dang, Mac's so irate the bleep can't even catch up!
I honestly haven't laughed this much in a long time, thanks mack 🤣
I have just completed the Quake II base campaign for the very first time. It was one of the best gaming experiences I've had this year. I needed to come watch this video to come down and remember that pain and suffering exist.
Actually laughing out loud from this 😂
I couldn't stop laughing for 3 minutes after watching this video
Mackie Ol' boy, you went over the top with this one. LOVED IT
I'm going back to "Peter Jackson's King Kong: The Official Game of the Movie" on PSP
Great game
0:46 That first "faeces" got me.
Ohhhhhhh Christmas came early!!! I've been waiting for Mack to rip this apart.
I watched this on the bowl, no regrets
This makes Gollum look good
This game is ahead of its time. Shitpost games are the future.
If the main character was Harambe and $15 this game would've been semi-ok LOL.
@REY2000 but then people would know it was a shitpost. It's like a studio making commentary on the state of the industry by pretending it is an actual game... but that's digging deep, in all actuality it's just a shit game lol
Can we, by any chance, get a Digital Faeces song? Maybe?
I like how the swearing beep was just a whole second behind the actual word
Whenever I fell sad I come to this video for the doctor to get my digital faeces checked and I get out of it a complete new and happy man!
Why is he running like that! Hahahahahaha
This rant is epic and hilarious! Please find more things to get angry about! Love it!
if my little brother made this on his summer holidays from school, I would be impressed.
It looks like something from the Nintendo 64 era.

I was gonna skip this video but "Digital Faeces"?
Couldn't resist. Watched every single second of it.
But Mack, did you check the ray traycing feature?
Mack is back in all his glory! Man, I missed these "rant" reviews! :D Rabbit must be happy as ever! :P
This game is a weapon meant to give mack a cardiac episode clearly.
I didn't come here for the review but to hear Mack laugh, while destroying the bell 😂
This might be your best review yet. Quality!
"Mom i want to do a dump in the corner'
"Oh son we already have a dump in the corner"
"Kong in the corner".....
Thanks for the smile Mack made my morning
I was waiting for you to review this!!! as soon as I saw how bad it was I knew you'd make it golden!
Lord i haven't laughed this hard in years i knew Mac's review was coming but i wasn't ready.
I'm thankful for my backlog! Thanks for the laughs😂
It's almost like they know a planet killing meteorite is coming.
If I’m being honest I started crying as soon as I saw the first 30 seconds of the gameplay and graphics, I knew what was coming in a wave.
Can't wait to see a review on Return to Moria hopefully

This is comedy gold and will never be topped 😂
This looks like the best game in a Junior College videogame class that was done by one amateur student.
