Over the years I've covered a lot of games on my channel, but what you guys haven't seen are all of the cancelled videos, the games that I've tried to cover but they're either not ready, completely broken or they drain my willpower so quickly that I think the video would be too boring to release, My editor thought it'd be fun to make a video combining 6 games that've abandoned making videos about over just the past month for various different reasons.
What do you think about some of the games I tried in this video? do you think it was a good idea I cancelled making videos about them, do you think these games will improve in the future? let me know in the comments below!

MMORPG Content Struggles - Failed First Impressions
• MMORPG Content Struggl... - Ігри
I personally think it would still be nice content to show terrible ones in a humorous way :)
I agree and I think it’s important. Save people money
I don't think he cancels videos on BAD games. He cancels videos based on whether it's possible or not to make a fun video. If a game is hilariously bad (and there are quite a few ones in this channel), he still makes very fun videos about them.
Some games are just so boring you just can't make content on top of them.
@@laranjo5999 yea i think's more about the content of the game being boring more than it's a bad game, there some bad games that he played in the past but at least he had content to squeeze out of them
i agree montages of all the bad things in games are kinda funny :)
might possibly get sued too
“It feels like I’ve scraped the bottom of the MMO barrel the last few years”
I’m pretty sure you’ve gone thru it with this video lol.
This was very entertaining honestly, do more of these as long as they are genuine and not purposely made to appear as if you're having a bad time.
"I personally think I couldn't pull it off", mate you'd look fookin' badass bald
Fr I think he’ll look like Binging with banish guy and he looks good
Yeah, you would look like Kratos
McGregor vibes
Yeh, he'd look fine (maybe better) without hair tbh
Yeah dude you could definitely pull off a shaved head
I had the identical experience with Wigmund. I got to the spiders 3 feet outside the tutorial area. Think I was in the game for 4 minutes or so total, it is legit like they tried to make the controls as bad as possible just for a laugh.
They tried their best to entertain all their fans, and THEY CHANGED THEIR GAMEPLAY
Devs always fail to realise gamers leave games for the tiniest of reasons.
I leave MMOs if they have too many exclusive mounts that cant be obtained anymore.
I left Mortal online because the keybinds where shit.
You might make a great game, but if you fuck over the small details you'll lose thousands of players.
I think I stopped playing some mmos because they are confusing, or feels a bit tedious. Ironically I feel TERA, lotRO and BDO _confusing_ while keep playing GW2 that has nearly _no tutorial_ at all.
Very true. I instantly stop playing mmos with bad character customization, clunky combat, forced questing to progress, or generally boring and empty areas. Although bdo caters to my wishes most cause its open world sandbox where I am free to do what I like.
TheLazyPeon becomes a feudal lord instead of a peon. Oh the irony
a feudal horse
Starting out naked just as every other goon.
TheLazyLord
Those last 2 games look really promising once they figure themselves out.
I agree!
The game named wigmund, (I think it's the last) changed it's combat so it isn't that hard anymore
Wigmund's game-play was changed one month ago. And it can be played by using a controller. I've played it by using both XBox and PS.
Peon: "This is the first game I've seen to bind E as inventory"
Minecraft: "Am I a joke to you?"
Stardew Valley says hi
@@visoth7791 Any many other games as well...
didn't Oblivion have that too?
I bind E for inventory in a number of arpgs where WASD is not used for movement. Certainly closer than I or B (for Bags - which is my 2nd choice).
He isn't very fair/unbiased. When he decided that something is bad it's bad.
"I'm not a peon." - TheLazyFeudalLord, 2021.
you mean TheLazyFudalLord
Why didn't he pick the peon lol
Getting started in Wild Terra 2 is definitely slow, I can’t argue with you there, but once you get out onto the main Island, it really opens up. You are now able to trade with a bunch of players. There are now PvE instances that have good rewards feeling once you finish them. There are a lot of players on with player built homes all around. There are unique mounts you can try to get as well. And this is just the stuff that is currently in the game. WT2 is currently in early access and is completely crowd funded. The game is supposed to be fully released later this year (with tons of content even coming after the release) so I truly think you should maybe give it another try around then.
P.S You can always skip the tutorial Island by going to one of the beaches and hopping on an already made boat.
P.P.S If you do try this again, trade is a pretty important part of this game so unless you are fluent in (that looks like chinese but I don’t want to assume anything) I recommend switching to an english speaking server.
"I'm gonna be a dps paladin"
me: "HA no you're not."
With the right gear, you can be a dps paladin.
I have a cleric whom I call a "Zap Cleric". He's full dps, no healing. He mows mobs down.
Neverwinter is my favorite mmo. The queue dungeon unlocks are account wide. So the point in boosting a character is after you have played the leveling game at least once.
Also could have used the Random Dungeon Queue to get into one fairly fast.
Especially Skirmish Queue, even as a DPS it's almost instant
Its the most cynical, predatory f2p game ever made. And I say this as someone that played NW for quite awhile. It is needlessly forced grind that tries to compel you to the cash shop every second. Never again for me.
@@pfortunato78 Weird thing, i made my character in the first day of the open beta and am active to this day. I agree that some things in the game should not be monetized and are, but the game makes money and is not even close to be finished. Meanwhile you see arenanet starving... Build and maintain a MMORPG costs a lot, and the gmae still need to profit. Well, from me neverwinter receives 10 dolars every month as VIP.
@@AEspiral agreed. And it's far better then BDO's cash shop, or worse... Archeage...
@@AEspiral there are right and wrong ways to do cash shops and neverwinter does it the wrong way. Any game that essentially forces your hand to spend a load of cash just to keep up is trash no matter how good the gameplay is and is not a game I will ever support. ESO and GW2 are good examples of cash shops doing things fairly.
Now we want an edit of all “dont add that into the edit” video
Definitely do more videos like this, even if you have to wait awhile to throw a compilation together like your editor has here. It's entertaining to watch and at least you're not wasting your time/money entirely - plus it actually gives us viewers a good idea of what games to avoid.
Craig I watched your videos since the WoW days and gotta say the new editor really bring new energy to the channel. If you are gonna move to other genres of games with the new editor Im right there with you!
New Lazy Peon vid? I click - this content has deffo improved, and your goals inspire me to set my own. Keep up the amazing work!
I actually really enjoyed watching this, I'd love to see more if there is any
*_" And he shall walk the games unseen by most and unearth terrors only understood after you confronted them in playtesting. "_*
love that video style as well! its a nice mix up i very much do enjoy
Your rust first impression was such an enjoyable and funny video and we had a really good time watching it as a group. Don't be afraid to branch out more, we don't just watch your channel for mmo content we watch your videos because of you and anything you post I look forward to. Keep up the great work we are all here for the long haul.
Edit: You should try Dayz or Escape From Tarkov.
Thanks for the laugh. This was very entertaining. You need to have your editor put more of these together as you find more games that bomb out like these. Soooo worth it.
The “Z” hot key for moving forward is pretty standard for all French keyboards layouts, that are AZERTY instead of QWERTY like on the rest of the planet 😅
I use Dvorak. Most games automatically detect that and rebind my movement to ,AOE. The few that don't are sensibly defaulted to WASD. I don't really know what the devs were thinking when implementing the controls for a wider audience.
@@Sporrik the wider audience is the qwerty users
I honestly enjoy every video you put out. lol You’re such an entertaining person!
Loved this keep doing these in the future when you ll have like 5-6 more failed mmo video ideas
"But first, a quick word from today's sponsor: Hair loss!"
😅😂
This is such a good idea for a video! Turning unused content into useable content is perfect, keep it up!
I love your gaming videos of course, but damn I'd love to see more irl vlogs from you. Your life in thailand looks so nice!
You should try something like Josh Strife where he purposely reviews terrible MMOs, you discover some crazy ideas and executions for video game designs
+1
Love that dude
His recent coverage of Otherland is phenom
Josh Strife Hayes? Big fan. It must take a lot out of a person to intentionally review bad games, although some of them do turn out to be "not that bad." Still, like Peon said, after a while it starts to feel like you're just comparing trash to games that are slightly less trash.
@@IntegrityGames what's up man
i want a montage of peon saying stuff like 'Jumpuuh' 'bloody hell' ' Big damage'
Me too.. I actually rly enjoy this kind of content. Maybe do a weekly roundup of these?
I'm honestly a bit intrigued by the badness of some games lol. It's oddly entertaining.
Character creator content on point! "Width" haha good stuff man.
Dude I just watched your "Skyforge Beta First Impressions "Is It Worth Playing?"" video from 2015 and I got scared how different you look now. You're in really good shape, keep it up!
Lol, I'm listening to this while working at my desk and cracking up! Thanks for the laughs!
This was a fun video for sure , glad to see you trying out different ideas !!!
Kinda disappointed that only 1 person talked about Metin2 in the comments tho LuL
Great stuff man, this was a fun idea and I would love to see future compilations. Hopefully not too many though lol, dont want you to have to trudge through too many crappy games XD
This video was hilarious, Peon! Keep posting this stuff! :D
I like this video, because it shows me I'm not alone when I have these days. I try a lot of different games just for fun and because I don't like playing only one game for weeks, but some days it just feels like a chore. Then I get mad at myself because I can't seem to enjoy the very thing I've chosen as a hobby and I might even force myself through a game, which is obviously not a good thing. I really like your reviews and the way you approach new games, and to be honest up until now I thought you're just so calm and curious and well-adjusted all the fucking time. Cheers.
This is a great idea, more content for you, and we still appreciate knowing if a game is not worth it, or if it's unfinished, but we are still interested once further development is done.
with neverwinter, unless its one of the endgame high-item level dungeons, I use the random dungeon/skirmish queue, it pops almost instantly, but for a lot of the dungeons you need to have a higher gear score to access them. with abilities, neverwinter works a little differently, because you mainly use the two left and right click abilities mixed in with the other three and the occasional cult and dodge but there are also artifact and potion abilities that equip to the hotbar
100% support you going into other genres and just doing videos on anything u feel like :D If you cover a game i like or look forward to, i WILL Watch it.. doesn't matter if it's MMO or not
Bro i love your 1st impression videos and everything..i almost watch all of it, most especially your reaction to my favorite game bannerlord..i think you should make game walkthrough with your commentary it'll be fun to watch..more power bro, keep doing what your doing
@thelazypeon lookin lean and healthy my guy. keep up the good videos and hard work!
I found those videos pretty interesting even with how short those were . Honestly I would also like to see more of the cut footage to see more of the game, even if there wasn't much to comment on.
I fucking love managing my inventory... Everquest comes to mind.
Love the failed first impressions! Hope we see more of these in the future.
The Neverwinter thing, "I don't think they've thought thru the whole boost thing". you boosted but they figure you will also pay for the token to skip the low level campaigns.......... They thought it thru, and found a way to triple, quadruple dip on the monetization of a booster lol.
They create problems then solve it with macro transactions in their shop
But even if he didn't boost to 70 he would still be like maybe two/three days in most campaings by the time he would hit 70... So level boost obiovsly does not complete any of the campaings since leveling isn't that hard. Not to mention ANY lvl 70 is too weak to deal with any of the Legacy Campaigns so giving progress to campaigns would make no sense.
Skipping through the leveling process has NEVER meant skipping through quest content. This isn't some great discovery or outlier. If anything, this says more about his ability to stay focused than the game itself as he's trying to force the game to cater to his very specific need to skip through everything quickly.
@@BoogerLeader The campaigns aren't questing, per se, Tho some questing is involved. they are time gated achievement style hoops one must jump thru to get to the next stage, and they have many of them, and you can skip each one for, I believe, 30$ US a pop. To get to current end game content would require upwards of 300$ US, on top of the 45$ US for the level boost. Or if you don't pony up, you can do it in months of grinding, around 6 or so if you stay at it. Either way, doesn't lend itself to boosting up to end game and seeing the content in a few hours which is Peon's intent here.
@@BoogerLeader he tried to do something similar with ff14, he is not famous for being a good gamer lol
Nice! Please more like this! Love the content!
This editor is amazing! Had me laughing throughout the whole video
You know what truly pisses me off about these games? People spent time modeling, texturing, programming, etc. for nothing, some of those features take a lot of work to do. What all these games are lacking is proper game design.
Neverwinter is still a nice game tho.
Yeah thats why I use ninja ripper on neverwinter for all those nice models 🤣
This was a really cool style video, definitely appreciated.
This was hilarious, would love to see more!
Same experience with Neverwinter dungeon finder when I redownloaded it a few weeks ago.
And I farmed a lot of astral diamonds back then with doing dungeons with the dungeon finder for hours.
1:53 "I'm sure you're all aware i aint none Peon tho"... looking at his channel name and wondering when was the last time he checked he's channel name hahahaha
I actually love it when you cover bad games in a humorous way. One of my fav videos you have made was with Metin2, it was hilarious. So keep it up man
Peon! We need more "Life in Thailand" videos! Make sure to put out updates every week or 2, loved your last vlog!
As you are someone who has played hundreds of MMOs it would be interesting to see a video from you detailing the little things in MMOs that you liked and would like to be implemented in your 'dream MMO'. Great video, cheers
Thx Peon and great work Editor
That seems quite rough for you mate. Thanks for sharing your experience XD
18:43, so you’ve never played Minecraft?
Thanks for the laughs! I really needed that
15:36 Z was "move forward" by default because the game was made in France, and we use an AZERTY keyboard layout!
I played the heck out of Neverwinter on PS4, but I get where you are coming from on a fresh look at it. Fun video.
I'm more worried about that fact I can't think of a single MMO that doesn't sell you some sort of in-game currency.
This sort of thing is why I don't play MMOs anymore. I remember back when I used to play things like Wow and meet a player with awesome gear and think "Wow he must be pro and have had to have defeated some hard bosses for that gear".
All I can see now is "Wonder how much money they've spent on this game".
While I was super excited for ASHES OF CREATION, I was immediately put off when I went to the pre-order page.
Voyager Plus Pre-Order Pack - $375 / Don't forget after 9 months you also have $14.99 to pay every month as well.
^ Comes with $125 in Embers (in-game marketplace credits).
Yeah so you get the game (60), 9 x 15 access (135) and in-game currency (125) = $300
So what is the other 75 for?
Honestly, I would never consider pre-ordering something that isn't even remotely close to being finished and on which no reviewer has made any content.
But I would consider getting a pack of multiple hundreds of dollars if that amounted to 100% playtime with a discount, so at least two and a half years for that price.
Your editor had a great idea ! Give him a raise
*Willpower loss compilation, and hair loss ad in the same video.*
*MMO struggle bus continues!*
You should do an updated first impressions video for Skyforge; I'm interested in hearing your opinions about it in 2021!
"Never seen a game where they choose E as inventory"
Minecraft: 🥺
Indeed!
In Neverwinter, if you play as a DPS the queues take a long time to pop.
Your best bet is to try the random trial queue and hope for the best.
As for what is the point of boosting to level 70, the trials, dungeons and skirmishes are an account wide unlock.
Therefore, if you are a veteran player and want to create another character, you can purchase the level 70 boost because you already have all the content unlock.
However, if you are a new player, I do not recommend doing it.
To be honest, Neverwinter isn't your typical MMORPG. 80% of the content you can do solo, and the rest are 5 or 10 men groups.
Zones can only have 20 to 40 players at the same instance, so you don't really get the *MM* of the ORPG all that much...
The good things about the game are the *combat and the lore of D&D.* (I only play for those two reasons, and because of the *friends* that I have made over the years).
The *PVP shucks ass,* the drop chances of anything decent are *ridiculously low,* and the game is *HEAVY* pay to win. You can play for free if you want, but it will take *YEARS* to get the bis items and clear the end game dungeons and trials.
I have never put a dime in the game, nor I ever will. Just waiting for Ashes of Creation to launch, so I can play a good and true MMORPG again...
great idea, great vid, as always.👌❤
keep up on those sit ups
2:18 you need to tell your editor about the "WHY ARE YOU RUNNING?" meme thingy sound
Good stuff. You should turn this into a video series.
This video is my gaming experience in general these last couple years
15:35 Shattered was developed by a French indie studio. We have AZERTY keyboard in France, hence why Z was "forward" per default.
I suppose they could have detected your QWERTY keyboard and changed it automatically but well, can't ask too much from an indie studio.
The Dark Souls 2 Majula sound, showed you are a man of culture. Take my like.
Can't wait for your BDO Sage first impression.
I know you are running out of videos and this is a great idea. Good job man
Also, you could totally be bald. Anyone with a beard can do it
This video was a good idea Peon. It was interesting and fun with a bit of a funny twist to it.
Very nice initiative, pls give it more :-)
Amazing XD More of these kinds of videos wouldn't be bad.
click on the map to move had me wheezing I'm deceased
from one watch through, the souls references, both intended and unintended that I found were
3:02 standing in the fire like gwyn
12:09 Majula song
12:30 hollow/illusionary wall
15:11 "souls-like"
16:27: backstabs/bonfires
17:16 "we're gonna parry * followed by fail*
as well as the many utterances of DODGE DODGE DODGE from your old dark souls series'
Menzoberranzan is a city of dark elves (drows) in the D&D lore. it's where Drizzt Do'Urden is from, the main character in the books of R.A. Salvatore. Great books. must read for all D&D fans
i thought that never winter progression was shared accross charaters meaning u only need to go though the unlocking process once
Level 70 is not max level, level has nothing to do with qualifying for content, that depends on "Item Level", in order to queue for specific content, you still need to complete the "Campaigns" in order to unlock those dungeons/that content, which is a time-gated process that can take anywhere from 5 to 10 weeks to completel (unless you also purchase campaign completion tokens for 1 specific character. not account wide unlocks), so for someone who wants to give a "revisited first impression" video, there is a shit ton of money to spend, or time to invest, and it's honestly just not worth his or anyone's time. Major design flaw, but try telling that to the diehard fans who suckle upon the cock of anyone who has the rights to use the D&D franchise.
@@IntegrityGames yeah should’ve probably known that when I tried the game a couple years back it’s was so overwhelming that I just gave up
Great videos! Was hilarious!! 😅🤣
Digging the new editor xD
Biggest Issue with Never winter nights is the lack of an engaging experiance and how easy the content is, theres very few locations that you cant solo as a dps character, and even less as a paladin or Cleric. The best part is the Raids and dungeons and PvP but you cant really get on those till your in the later levels with abilitys to make you useful in them hence the games massive issue.
Bring back gaming session at some point. I still come back from time to time to watch those because of how entertaining they are.
19:05 looks like a lightsaber :) very star wars'esque
The last one looked really good. If the main gripe was the keybindings, why not just change them in the options?
Honestly, if you are starting to feel like its hard to come up with newer videos. You could try doing some retrospectives like the salt factory. I and many others love videos like that and I think you would be perfect for it. Anyways, Great vid. I always enjoy your videos!
I had to return a few seconds of the video when I saw the "click the map to move" part.
You should try Absolver its a good pvp martial artist game where you build your martial style with different moves, and it have a stance system for combo
This is a really cool video idea :) I really enjoyed it
"click on the map to move" got me good 😂
Hey man, if you record some stuff, don't be afraid to put it out. Although i do understand that editing can take more energy than the recording itself
I think showing the bad/terrible ones would be very good. Especially if you share your feedback with the developers. Besides with the select few actually good MMOs out there, what else is there to cover?
didn't know there are failed impressions , i just assumed u make the video regardless cuz u pick specific games , hmmmm , opened my eyes i must say :o
