  • Ugh. Another game by Head Games, and this time it somehow performs even worse than the others I've reviewed.

      @AndersGorling 7 років тому +17

      I remember on one of my installs of Windows 98 circa 1999 the computer would freeze whenever I launched a game requiring DirectX (i.e. any 3D game). However, if I ran Monkey Island (DOS game) first then DirectX games would run fine afterwards. Windows was filled with random bugs like that. Most likely caused by conflicting drivers. But before high-speed Internet getting drivers in any other version than the one that came on the floppy/CD when you bought your hardware was a real pain.
      So some games just wouldn't run. It wasn't really about how powerful the PC was, it was more about quirky compability issues. By no fault of your own or the machine you owned. Sometimes they didn't run just because.

    • @Seawolf.Gaming
      @Seawolf.Gaming 7 років тому

      Well look at crysis when that came out, it absolutely destroyed pc's.. So I'm guessing a lot of those games were similar.

    • @ramdrivesys1869
      @ramdrivesys1869 7 років тому +7

      Crysis is a meme, on Ultra, yes, on Low a 2006 PC can play it easily. The things is, these super low budget games do not have graphics that would justify it.

    Watching you play this game, I noticed that it looked oddly familiar. Then I realized where I had seen it before: It turns out that HeadGames recycled the snowboarding component of this game for "Tech Deck Snowboarding", which was released the following year. Everything including the controls, fonts, and snowboarders, was rehashed for that game. How lazy could they be?

    • @LGR
      @LGR  7 років тому +16

      Yep, that was a thing! There's even more to the story than that, it's amazing how many times this same basic game was recycled and re-released.

    hey LGR! I recently got my hands on an old nintendo with some games, and after toying with the games on the cartridges, I have some games that you might enjoy reviewing! They are: Bubsy 2, the first F-Zero, and The Lion King (that is the only thing said on the cartridge). If you notice this comment, please respond with a yes or no! Thanks and merry late Christmas!

    Did anyone else see the Activision logo on the tracks? Can someone explain to me please?

    I'm shocked that no one noticed that the clerk in the pro shop was still in the neutral modeling position

    Not even kidding, I was playing Forza Horizon 3 with this video running in the background, and the moment you said the word "crashing" at the beginning, the damn game froze up and reset.

    It doesn't look like you ever did a review on Extreme Paintbrawl. It was the bane of my youth...
