The stock scream they keep using is called the "Insane Tantrum Scream" or sometimes just "Tantrum Scream" It's almost my own Kurlin Nescar stock sound, it just takes me out of anything I hear it in.
I’ve heard RLM referenced that sound effect a thousand times and not being a Trek fan never worked out how to spell “Kurlin Nescar”. Thank you, now I can die.
@@Endocrom are you telling me that Rich Evans, star of stage and screen, legend in his own time, *mispronounced a word?* Man I hope you have *good* lawyers. You don’t even know what pile of shit you just stepped in.
I remember my step dad coming home with this random game as a gift for me and while I was excited and appreciated the gift it's honestly the worst game I've ever played
You're a good child. Never let them see disappointment if you can help it. Bless the good parents out there, may they always have good kids and vice versa.
The animations in the cutscenes feels like literal puppets being manipulated via string, and when she narrated the cutscenes I thought you were using the text to speech gag for a minute lol.
The only thing that could redeem this game for me is if in the end, you have to kill the president, and then you find out that the narration that's been throughout the game is you trying to explain to the police why you did it, and then they shoot you because they've been infected.
Speaking of cool PS2 games nobody played: The Red Star Weird beat'em up/shmup/RPG hybrid made by Acclaim, shmup part of that game is weirdly in-depth, there's like straight up references to other shmup games in there.
And it's based on a weird comic, which takes place in an alternate history version of the Soviet Union, where they have giant flying airships & use magic and what not. The comic's storyline was never finished.
Lmfao. That sounds like such a fun time though. Me and my boys used to do the same thing. Whole weekend of gaming and playing games we rented. F*CK those were good times. Kids don't know what they're missing these days without LAN parties and 4 player split screen games. 4 ass-hats on one monitor... 😂
"There i ran into some guy named Jim, he told me secret alien bugs had taken over the world, i didn't know if i believed him but i will do everything he asks me to do without question, i would die for Jim"
So many games are like this where you start to wonder if the main characters would freak out and become mass murderers of they saw a photoshop picture of the president as a lizardman.
I can't tell if it's an acomplishment on the dev's part that you can actually complete levels in this mess (no crashes or impossible encounters) or a damn shame because it means you had to keep playing it.
I was watching this picture in picture while in Balatro, then I hear "His name is Jim" and I take a good look who the heck has my name. Man was I disappointed.
Wow, i’m surprised i’ve never heard of or seen this. Matt, I would be that one person who would have played the obscure game that you don’t believe a person would have played but…damn, this actually snuck by me.
Your last decision on the game was the correct one. I think that's it's funny to see you playing but i understand how hard must be for you to do that decision. Bro hugs to you Matt.❤
This went from zero to aliens so fucking fast it took a few moments for the fact that it even WAS aliens to register. It's just a blindingly fast slap to your brain.
I played this way back in the day ugh...for some reason one of the things that bothered me most was that the monologues for both characters was identical in each scene...like, there's only two characters you need to go and write for with this! Not that anyone's expecting like Shakespeare.
I have played this with a buddy in highschool. This is not a brag, mourne for me. But yeah we were fans of Conspiracy because they brought Seek and Destroy, the tank spinoff of choro q, to PS2. Respectable publisbers in my opinion
Yo there's totally a fight with the President's Secret Service that ends with one of them straight up mutating into an alien monster if I remember correctly! It's, like, the only thing I remember about this game, other than the fact the male character narration is very knock off Serious Sam sounding? It's all jank in a weird, but kinda charming kinda way. It's a video game ass video game.
I saw this game in one of my local retro stores. Had ZERO idea what it was, but it looked cool and was cheap so I grabbed it. I still have my copy. I'm glad this game has cheats, it needs em. Also I have a copy of X Squad.
Never owned this gamed but the art of the lady and the title is definitely familiar. I'm pretty sure I saw an ad for it in the manual of some other game I had, I just can't remember which one. It was either that or I saw it around at like flea markets and the gamestops ya know back when they still sold old games and just never bought it cause it reminded me of Syphon Filter which I did not enjoy.
I bought a copy of this at a Hollywood Video that was going out of business. Played for about 20 minutes. I think the dude and the lady have different narratives, which is...something? If you're going to play Soul Fighters for the channel, know that you have chosen content gold, from the intro to the victory screens. Just brace yourself for the game's "controls." Speaking of gold, you gotta play Konami's Monster Maulers! It's a sentai boss rush where you DDT sea serpents and centaurs n' stuff.
That's so weird, the game has a slight shudder that caused me a little nausea and headache reaction. The only places that didn't trigger this reaction were the cutscenes and the loading screens.
No tutorial for the first mission, which is a timed mission requiring that you get the correct targets or you have to start over, is a pretty bad start. And apparently the devs were really fond of timed missions if they decided to reuse that continuously for the game. Although I will admit the story idea isn't that bad, just the atrocious game design (terrible camera, fighting game that relies heavily on guns, timers everywhere, etc) that ruins what could have been an okay game.
I played it when it was new. The only problem I had was the camera angles switching like a classic RE game and the directional control orientation getting confusing because of it.
I remember renting this from Blockbuster back in the day. And I recall X Squad bugged on me real weird with the character models frozen, floating around, still talking and fighting. Maybe the cheats broke the game?
Hidden Invasion is alright. It's no Dexterion, The Ultimate Annihilator of the evil dominion: Under Cyborg Demon's Armageddon Battle - Fate of the cryptic world in cybernetic trooper's hands. tho
Thats the type of first level where you instantly return the game if you rented it as a kid.
“Fine, you have 3 bombs left to defuse, hurry up!” Catching shade from the dang objective text!
A game can be so picky telling you what to do, and where to go next

@@ThingsOnDemand Actually I was just winging it. I looked it up and it's actually "Kurlan naiskos"

As someone who has a gaming channel, this is the kind of knowledge that i crave for.

Extremely on brand stepdad behavior.

"That bomb was load-bearing! And you DEFUSED IT?! You're off the killsquad. Turn in your badge and shotgun."
It's like someone googled "generic future sci-fi" and then made a generic punchy kicky game to go with it.
Why do we-have-major-kusanagi-and-buzz-lightyear-at-home have cheese graters on their knees?

Oh yeah, I thought I wrote about comic, but I might've deleted that on accident
Those two look like rejected Wild 9 character designs.
Omg my friend Keith and I played this when we were kids and rented it because it was the only co op game left for ps2 at blockbuster

I can say one thing: This team certainly did make a video game.

Ah yes, Jim. The most hardcore of names.
Also, I'm not sure I've ever seen a camera jump around as much as this, especially at 11:47.
The enemies' screams were also used in Dynamite Cop.
Reminds me of Bungies Oni which also tried to do too much for the time
Except, Oni was weirdly charming at least.
@@junibug6790 oh absolutely, I think it just tried to do too much for the machines of the time
Your last decision on the game was the correct one. I think that's it's funny to see you playing but i understand how hard must be for you to do that decision. Bro hugs to you Matt.❤
I think Matt's playing in widescreen and the editor squished it back in 4:3 lol anyway, impressively obscure choice here
You just unlocked an old memory. Remember playing this game and on the first level the exit disappeared on me 😂
This went from zero to aliens so fucking fast it took a few moments for the fact that it even WAS aliens to register. It's just a blindingly fast slap to your brain.

tbh The World President should have enough staff that his people can take their planned vacations.
Vimm's Lair has the manual for his game.

I played this game once on a dreamcast at a Toys R Us when I was a kid.
I bought a copy of this at a Hollywood Video that was going out of business. Played for about 20 minutes. I think the dude and the lady have different narratives, which is...something?

We are going to actuallly have some time of world ruler. Give it a few years.
i literally saw this game for the ps2 at Walmart during the very early 2010s in the bottom shelf of the game section right next to GTA PS2 trilogy
This is like the Dr. Thunder of beat em ups. It's Great Value Fighting Force.
16:45 Porkchop Sandwiches!
Did anyone else also notice that all the mobs had the same name? Like that first level Matt shotgunned 46 “Mark Y”s 😭😭😭
That's so weird, the game has a slight shudder that caused me a little nausea and headache reaction.

I feel like they almost certainly wanted to call it Secret Invasion but didn’t realise Marvel would sue them until it was too late.
It's like they were making a plain brawler game and halfway through they figured that Perfect Dark was cool and decided to rip it off
this was one if the earliest ps2 games i played so yeah someone played it.
Could always count on you to help me discover cool new games!
The timer is what kills it! Yes it's jank.... but I would have played it back in the day. But as soon as I saw the timers..... Nooooooope!!
I played it when it was new. The only problem I had was the camera angles switching like a classic RE game and the directional control orientation getting confusing because of it.
A beat-‘em-up with tank controls sounds like it’d be a hell of a thing
Not!Bruce Campbell looks like he'd be voiced by Daran Norris if this were a late 90s Canadian CG cartoon like it should've been.
I remember renting this from Blockbuster back in the day. And I recall X Squad bugged on me real weird with the character models frozen, floating around, still talking and fighting. Maybe the cheats broke the game?
Fact: whenever you say Toka you also have to say Razar. There's no way around it.
I played this. Didn't remember it being a brawler though.
The thumbnail just looks like matt is scared of the lady's size... i'd be too if her big bags of ice were the size of my skull
Hidden Invasion is alright. It's no Dexterion, The Ultimate Annihilator of the evil dominion: Under Cyborg Demon's Armageddon Battle - Fate of the cryptic world in cybernetic trooper's hands. tho
Oh lort early motion capture animations sure were wonky xD also yiss play Sudeki its pretty dope
This is someone's favourite game
Every game is.
Except Lifeline. Nobody likes Lifeline.
Interesting game! My favorite genre 👍
His name was Jim
Waiting for the day Matt plays Urban Reign

@@flophouseplays Many thanks and I beg your pardon. Wasn't aware of this. Watching now🙌
Squad X is awesome btw. This game, idk lol
Let's not send a squad of trained police officers no let's send one slightly armored person yeah that's a good idea 😂
This is the PS2's early stages of video games, and this came put 5 yrs before Final Fight Streetwise, but way worse.
Thought that woman was the woman from Oni for a minute
🎉
If only PS2 games were easier to make hack improvements.
UGH. Head spinning from PS2 era camera design
Perhaps it's better if this one remains hidden...
If you play as the guy, does the camera casually zoom past his ass whenever he enters a room?
Why is the screen shaking so much? Is this using a BOB deinterlacing or something?
This screams fake game from a TV show.
Reminds me a of a worst version of Oni (PS2), which is saying a lot lol.
Great Video. This game looks bad. I would like to see you play more Mortal Kombat 1
This looks really boring to play. Don't get why those 3d attempts always opted for massive chunks of downtime with barebones mechanics.
It reminds me a lot of "The Perfect Weapon" for PS1...god that game was terrible...
Nobody has played ? Don't say that, go deeper and you'll find that the games you play here is on the surface level.
Yeah, try to play War of the Dead on the PC Engine, see how much you appreciate this in return, ahahah.
