Browser games FTW! Play more than 500 original games at GXC, like Advise the King: opr.as/AustinEruption2 HOWDY Y'ALL. The worst of the year is here and my entire soul hurts. What are some other terrible games I missed this year? Lemme know.
Honestly I the GTA remaster was OK, for me the worst was definitely the Bloodrayne remaster, at least the GTA remaster improved on the originals in some ways, the Bloodrayne remaster improved nothing and ran worse then the GTA trilogy did on launch, with pathetically low frame-rates, frequent crashing and the removal of cheats.
Dude I'm doing my own internet sleuthing and I'm coming up with: "Final Fantasy XIV is closed to new players, game taken off the market" so again what you mean ftp?
@@psyenz8946 For a majority of this year the base game and the first expansion were completely free to play, that's several hundred hours of content anyone can access. Things are closed at the moment because the servers are swamped.
About Nick All-Stars, Nick themselves is holding the game back. Stuff like alternate costumes came in very late just because Ludosity had to get the approval for each costume and Nick is super picky about it. Heck, the lead developer praised MultiVersus' reveal while throwing shade to Nick on his tweets.
I remember that nickelodeon made a tennis game and this game has TONS of alt skins and voice acting. Alot of people started to ratioing Nick and Viacom in twitter for treating Nick All Star Brawl lol. I don't even know why Nick and Viacom doesn't allow Ludosity and Fair Play Labs to add MORE alt skins for NASB but that tennis game has ALOT of alt skins?
I kinda feel bad for Nick All Stars devs. From what I have read, they actually wanted to add more stuff to the game, as well as giving them unique dialogues, but couldn't because of restrictions given by Nickelodeon. Plus, they wanted to price the game at $20 but Gamemill decided to price it at $50 instead. I still hope the game manages to catch its footing soon. Power Rangers Battle for the Grid shows that making a major comeback is possible.
The way they phrased it ("our hands were tied") makes it seem more like a budgetary issue. After all, most of Nickelodeon's cartoons use union VA's (kinda ironic when you consider their other business practices, but I digress), not to mention that characters such as Oblina and Nigel Thornberry would have to be recast (as Cristine Cavanaugh passed away in 2014 and Tim Curry's 2012 stroke has limited his vocal range). Obviously, that kind of expense for a shovelware Smash clone would be deemed unnecessary.
Literally this week you can find a Twitter post by one of the lead devs in the game shocked after Nick announced a mobile tennis game featuring unique costumes and dialogue. It really looks like the whole situation was the perfect storm of Nick restrictions + Gamemill low budgets.
If I remember right, they said that getting voice acting for the game would've costed half of the game's whole budget. They were really, _really_ given a bad hand.
3:10 My biggest fear about the future of gaming is that all of the hilarious anime booba games have become predatory mobile gacha games instead, sort of like how tie-in movie adaptation shovelware games largely died alongside the Wii when companies realized they could spend less and make more money with phone games instead. Truly, when the PS Vita died and smartphone app sales rose past console games in Japan it was an end of an era
Nah, the thing that will _really_ kill ecchi anime games is censorship, whether it be Sony's hypocritical policies or countries like Australia denying people's freedom of speech.
Predatory, half-baked, manipulative, lazy, and disrespect your intelligence, your agency, your property, and your wallet. Gameplay is repetitive, manipulative, repetitive, or nonexistent. The one I played today just had an update that I am convinced installed a background bitcoin miner. The freaking chat box takes a minute to respond. But hey, it isn't censored like the other one. I can't be the only one who feels genuinely insulted by censored games.
When i saw the trailer i just went "if people like that good for them" For a moment i thought "They didn't JUST turn a golfing game into a racing game, there has to be something more to it" But no, apparently Nintendo failed to apply common sense No one plays golf to rush trough stuff, it is like turning a shooter into a dating sim, except shooters have a bigger demographic
Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl makes me really sad, since it seems like the devs really care and that if the game had been given more dev time it could have been amazing. They are still updating the game, and next year they're adding cross-play and soft-confirmed that they're voice acting. But the damage is done and so few people care anymore, pretty much the only thing keeping the game alive is Hungrybox.
They *just* (unofficially, mind you) announced that voice acting is coming to NASB, so you've got that to look forward to. The devs (especially the main one, Thaddeus) have been pretty open about how they *wanted* to do some of the things you had complaints with, but the game was rushed out the door and some of those requests Nickeoldeon straight up refused. They didn't let them use unique dialogue, get VA work, get unique costumes until now, etc. Honestly, it doesn't even seem to be fully GameMill's fault. The fault lies solely on Nickelodeon themselves. They still take some blame, but Nickelodeon definitely seems to be picky.
Apparently Nick just wasn't keen on the game doing well But now that the game flopped it is too late to start investing in it I doubt they care, the game was dirt cheap to make so they'll profit regardless
I can understand that Nick Brawl being disappointing, as a lot of the missing crap was because Nick/Viacom put a bunch of red red tape. So it's only a bit of gamemil fault. However, from what I heard Crossplay and Voice acting in 2022 plus more content, so even with Multiversus coming don't count NASB out just yet
People already looked at it and got dissapointed, fixing stuff now will not do much With Cartoon Network's game coming out they even lost the bonus of being the latest smash-like game Unless CN's game flops NASB is not coming back from that
@@rompevuevitos222 I mean, Power Rangers: Battle for the Grid had similar issues as well (underwhelming visuals, lack of VAs, small budget) but there was still a good game at it's core And over time the game fixed its bigger issues. If that can happen for Power Rangers, the same can happen for NASB
I saw Melee fanboys saying that Nick All Star Brawl was going to be the quote, "Smash Ultimate killer". Than when it was released and people were harshly criticize the game those same people where like, "it was made by an indie studio! Don't criticize it too much!"
I mean, I don't thing these things are contradictory tbh. The game has a really solid foundation, and has things going for it that Ultimate will never get, especially for more competitive fans. It's pretty well known that the devs were dealt a bad hand with the Project, so "deflecting" the critiscisms to those aspects isn't completly absurd because judging by the post-launch support it's pretty clear they could've done better in different circunstances. I don't disagree that the overhyping of the game did way more harm then good Lol. The game didn't need those types of comparisons.
@@masterdhegamer6661 Honestly when people say that something is going to the " *blank* killer" it opens the door for people outside that circle to judge the game more harshly than it otherwise should be.
@@edgyzackyt-edgelordzackari4889 oh definetly. But that whole discourse bothers me also because the people on the other side started to pile on a smaller game to defend Smash Ultimate, the literal best selling fighting game of all time. Either way like I said, this discourse definetly did more harm than good for the game's public perception.
@@masterdhegamer6661 I love it when people regurgitate what the devs say. The devs continuing to "support" the game is like any other unfinished game getting patches and new content because they couldn't finish the product, regardless of any reason, before launch. Yes, they had to deal with suits that just want to see dollar signs but solely pandering to a niche competitive audience doesn't mean any criticism from an average Joe is null by default. NASB is a disappointment through and through.
Popeye eating spinach to enhance his strength to absurd levels is part of his character, but I wouldn't blame you for not knowing that. It's safe to say that the character has fallen hard into obscurity.
@@557deadpool wdym? lol It is the most blatant low quality shovelware It's barely worth reviewing The Slenderman demo clones have better content than that game
@@557deadpool We are talking about the Popeye game here If you are seriously comparing it to Melee then you're either trolling or just being dumb And Melee is one of the worst smash games in my book, so i'm not even praising it
Somehow, Austin saying “Jocolby Fitzpatrick” during the Patreon calls remains as one of the major things I look forward to seeing in his videos. That name is just so fascinating and unique...
Oh thank God I wasn't the only one who could only remember Jocolby Fitzpatrick in every single Patreon mention... That's sounds like a name that's too strange to be made up.
18:45 Those are actually characters made using a software known as Comipo, aka Manga Maker (as the rights got bought by the same publisher as RPG Maker and Game Maker). I used it nearly a decade ago on my family's old computer, and even made a manga version of Huckleberry Finn for a high school English assignment.
I've heard some rumors about GTA having those issues partly because it was not supposed to even be in the radar yet, but since Rockstar didn't have anything else to release this year they decided it would be a good idea to throw this remaster under the bus to cash-in... Probably not realizing how far behind the studio responsible actually was to get the game up to par - or even just deciding cashing in the hype was worth making the team work overtime to fix a launched title.
@@austineruption Yeah, Helga’s the bully in Hey Arnold. She beats people up all the time. I actually thought it was a cool addition. One of my favorite cartoons growing up gets some recognition and it’s with a believable character too.
You quite literally have the same problems I also had with SuperRush it’s insane lol. I also thought a lot of the course design in SuperRush was very bland and forgettable compared to World Tour
Nick all stars has strong gameplay, kinda wish it got more credit for that. But the total package was rough, almost non-existent features outside of online, I get that.
Damn bro, Nick wasn't that bad. I still enjoy playing it with my friends. We were all big fans of Slap City. Its janky Smash Bros and sometimes that's more fun.
@@manamaster6 The dev team was literally limited in all aspects. They weren’t given a budget, they weren’t allowed to make unique dialogue for the arcade mode, costumes were held back because Nick wanted to sell them as cosmetic DLC, etc. And despite all that, the gameplay is till fun
My most disappointing game was Axiom Verge 2. Was waiting YEARS for a follow up, and then it finally came out... And was nothing at all like the first one. Thomas Happ, the developer, stripped out everything that made the first one great. So disheartening
I'm fortunate, I finally got my Switch this year so I spent most of the year catching up on all the goodness I missed out on while ignoring all this garbage. Then Endwalker came out and I stopped caring about the real world entirely.
The nickelodeon all star brawl opinion is straight offensive man. Why play NASB over Smash? Because the developers care about the players’ online experience and are responsive to our critiques. They even announced voices are coming soon.
The most disappointing thing about the new Dark Alliance game is how it seems to have no desire to build on the legacy of the previous two games. Yeah, we all love Drizzt, but he was never central to the plot they were building with 1 and 2, so it feels weird to see him taking over now. It's almost as if they care more about the character's name recognition, than in making a fun game that progresses the story that came before.
Yep a fantastic year for gaming - GTA 3 - Halo CE - Smash bros melee - MGS 2 - Silent Hills 2 - Max Payne - Conker’s BFD So many great games came out that year, 20 years already. I feel old
I get that NASB was really undewhelming, but I think you kinda ignored that mechanically it's actually a really appealing game. For a lot of the more hardcore platform fighter fans it's more intresting than Smash in a lot of aspects. Who knows, maybe after the next few updates it'll be a was more robust package.
Sort of surprised you didn't go into detail on Sonic Colours Ultimate. Like, the state it launched it, it was PRIME Gametuber/"Worst of 2021" content. Kind of respect that.
I've had a ton of fun with Nick All Stars. It's a very limited game, but the mechanics are great. Also I think it's weird that you think the F&F movies don't appeal to kids...it's Hot Wheels crashing together as a movie.
Moorhun is Chickenshoot and I remember playing the timed demo of it fondly... _Over 15 years ago._ I feel like boomer confessing these things... The passage of time marches ever onwards.
I'm right there with you. I just finished and I literally said, "oh wow" when he held it up. I've sank many MANY hours into the game and, outside of still not getting the wind physics, I've thoroughly enjoyed it. I frequently load it up just to play a round because it's a wonderful time killer. I get his gripes about the campaign because Speed Golf blows but I'm surprised by his disappoint. To each their own, though; some people like mayonnaise and I think that shit is gross.
Dudes is blaming a game basically for adding a extra mode to play that he does not like that he does not need to play and saying its a bad game for it.... nah it's lots of fun.
i got slightly disappointed when i realized 2001 was a typo, i think a series covering worst (maybe best too, or better yet, hidden gems) games of each year in the '00s would be really interesting, that specific time period is a bit unrepresented in this format i feel
The soul of Nick All-Star Brawl was in the Melee-inspired gameplay, not the Nickelodeon license. But even then, adding characters like Helga, Powdered Toast Man, and Reptar were genius ideas for characters that would make Sakurai proud. I think the game had one goal - provide a fun Melee-inspired experience featuring Nickelodeon characters - and personally, I think it succeeded. If Ludosity makes a sequel, they better get an actual budget this time.
I agree, but at the same time the game felt so ... lifeless. The roster is great and the game plays smoothly enough but the lack of voice acting, game modes, music... it just makes it drab to play unfortunately :/ I still give ludosity a lot of credit they did their best with the limited budget & time they had
Sadly though, it was the Nick license that got me excited. My favorite part of smash is that it's a celebration of Video games. Nick all stars does not feel like a celebration of Nick. It feels like another licenced game with no soul.
Moorhuhn? We Germans love that and hated them at the same time. In the early 2000s it was on nearly every PC in the country than the company behind them were involved in shady things and the bubble bursted. IP was sold and they do the games out now.
Wonder if I should publish something small on GXC before releasing a bigger project on Steam, as a solo indie dev. Austin, if you see this, I'd gladly hear your opinion.
@@Gatorade69 Smash Ultimate was made by Bandai Namco, aka the people known for using shitty netcode. Getting mad at Nintendo is like getting mad at Sony for Street Fighter 5's shitty netcode
i don't know why, bro, it seems like we would be friends in real life but the kind of friends who always disagree and discuss in detail things they like. I really like your videos and put them on my top priority once you release one. Good job, keep it up.
what Nintendo and EVERY company needs to do is make a "its been a year since release" edition where all the bonus content that will be gone in 10 years time when they shut down servers is on a new disc/cartridge so that way the complete version of the game can still be played. the PS3 and VITA almost got their stores shut down and thats been avoided for now, but the WiiU and 3DS are next up on the chopping block with no backing down in sight. im sure there are a good few games on those consoles that dont have a "complete version" out there. some cases that come to mind are already taken care of with being ported to the Switch with all their content, but its very few...
It's Popeye The Sailor Man, It belongs in a garbage can, It's a game that you'll never finish, Even if you eat your spinach, It's Popeye The Sailor Man!
Are we going to see a"best games of 2021" video this year? I absolutely loved the "best games of 2018' video and actually tried some of the games from that list and I'd love to see a best of list this year
Seriously though, I dont understand the business model of "release a bad game and then update it in post." Like, cool, you get money immediately, but you also get bad reviews immediately. Everyone races to review a game when it comes out. No one races to review a game for patch 2.0231b. A bad game stays bad. I didn't even know all those updates happened for Mario Golf. I heard it was bad on release, and then I never sought out more information on it because why would I? "Oh maybe this game I had vague interest in is better now that 6 months have passed"? No. Like, there *has* to be numbers somewhere that shows how bad of a business model this is. It's money upfront in exchange for a bad relationship with your playerbase. Ew.
VERY much depends on what kind of game company you are- a shovelware dev who just wants to squeeze something out can save money on final polish, squirt something out and get the sales they'd get for their fundamentally bad game no matter how much extra polish they'd have, keep a cheap skeleton crew on to drop some extra content, and then be done with it. And a company like Nintendo can rock this style because even if the reviews are bad they KNOW they'll sell well on brand alone AND they are the types who WILL keep these games around. They know their games will sell for YEARS, and so the games their future customers will buy will be the complete version and they won't get what all the early compöainers were all about. "But the servers-" My friend, this is NINTENDO- they will sell their "definitive editions" for the next consoles in perpetuity and for full price, and no one will be any wiser. Ironically, the people for whom this IS a bad business plan are thus companies who DO intend to make "full" games but can't afford the bad PR associated with a crummy launch, since those companies would be the ones who need it the most. Like.. the reason this is popular is because games get more and more expensive to make every year. If the product can be brought to the market during what was once the unprofitable "polish" phase and thus quickly recover the money that's spent on them, which by the time the game reaches "polish phase" is these days as expensive or even MORE expensive than when old games reached the "finished phase", then by God there is not a profit-minded businessman in the world rhat wouldn't take that opportunity. Ultrarich devs who can afford a delay do it to maximize profits and ignores the reputation hit because they know the only ones who care are a minority of the audience. Shovelware devs just continues to squeze out games quick as they can. But the devs who might have good intentions but really need money as fast as possible? They need this model the most. But if it goes wrong, they take the biggest hit from it.
I was confused about how you said that the Fast and the Furious game was slow since it looked fast enough for me, then I remembered that I watch UA-cam videos at double speed.
At first I thought New World was an Eternal Darkness game of some kind from the first few moments in the first trailer. Then saw it wasn't... then saw nothing again of it until this video and forgot about it. That seems to be a pattern with those trailers between it and the DnD game which I only saw one other video of.
Stick around with Nickelodeon All Star Brawl. They just dropped Garfield, who is a lot of fun to play. Then Shredder from TMNT will follow, as well as a Double Dare stage. Also, a datamine leak revealed that Tommy Pickles, Chuckie Finster, Angelica Pickles, and Susie Carmichael from the Rugrats will be playable. They're not completely off the table. At least I hope they aren't! And apparently there's gonna be more characters down the line, as well as potential voice acting. Maybe we'll still get XJ9, Timmy Turner, Jimmy Neutron, and El Tigre in the future! Like someone said below, look at what happened with Power Rangers: Battle for the Grid.
Uh.... not a lot of people have had hands on time with ps5s and series x's. And you didn't need to play the story mode in Mario Golf in order to unlock the courses. You could have just played the courses you had and after 18 holes, you would unlock the next one.
"Why not just play smash?" Because people want a platform fighter with functional online and real movement tech. I know the game wasn't in a good state at launch but Ludosity is trying their best with Nick's horrid limitations. And they've already confirmed cross-play for early next year and heavily hinted that voice acting is being added. I'm not some diehard fanboy but I think that Ludosity deserves some time to clean up the mess Nick and Gamemill made them release.
Except, you kinda are? Nick can be blamed for many things, but not for the games "real movement tech" as you so wrongly put it. I've seen flash games more fluid than this. Oh and before you go "Yea, well Gamemill shouldn't have made them release it!", they should have had a basis for characters and stages before they even started adding extra stuff. Sakurai, before he got permission to use Nintendo's characters, had a base map and base style for characters.
@Baka Ranger When I say I'm not a diehard fan I mean it I have issues with the game as well. A bunch of the characters feel samey and I dislike the fact many aerials share the same action as their grounded counterparts and I'll admit that the game is scuffed as hell but I trust that ludosity can fix it as they seem to be listening to player's critiques. But as I've noticed by your other comments that you didn't come here for meaningful conversation and debate you came here to throw shade at any game not made by Nintendo. When someone says they enjoy a platform fighter more than Smash you insult the game they enjoy or them as a person or when they talk about Smash's garbage online or the fact the joycon's have drift you deflect the blame away from Nintendo. I enjoy Smash and Nintendo but I'm at least willing to admit that they both have flaws that they could have fixed but couldn't be bothered to. If anyone here is a diehard fanboy it's you chief.
I was REALLY excited, when they announced Dark Alliance because i love the Drizzt Story. Really a shame, they don´t do anything great with than License. :(
As someone from Germany I played all Moorhuhn games. Mohrhuhn Kart 2 isn't new. It originally came out in 2004. And it was the only Kart game I played as a child, because it was on PC and I didn't have a console. Treasure of Atlantis was the first Platformer I ever played and Moorhuhn Pinball the first Pinball game... For nostalgia sake I bought all Moorhuhn games together for 10 Euro a couple of years ago. Played everyone of them once and didn't touch them again.
24:24 It wasnt their first major release crucible was which was also busted but I still had lots of fun with that game and hope they at some point bring it back actually ready to launch
Here’s a fun fact: I was working at GameStop when the Chicken Shooting game came out for ps5 and while I was filing it I noticed something; on the back of the box for the PS5 version it has joycons and the handheld Switch to show you how the controls work.
My most burned garbage bin this year is Biomutant. All that promise and then giving out a full priced skeletton of an unfinished "DMC clone" with a really badly tagged on environmental message. The fuck ?
As a German, one of my Childhood games was Moorhuhn (shooter). If you bought a standard PC in the early 2000s, it came preinstalled with Space-Pinball, Minesweeper and Moorhuhn. Before I got a PS2 and PSP I always played these. Minesweeper is even available for free for Android in the Appstore.
So actually Nickelodeon made a tennis game for the Apple arcade. And this game has TONS of alt skins and voice acting. Alot of people started to ratioing Nick and Viacom for literally treating NASB lol. I don't even know why Viacom and Nick can't allow Ludosity and Fair Play Labs to add MORE alt skins but just only ONE alt skin? And this tennis game literally has ALOT of alt skins and voice acting? what the frick Nick?
Does Popeye ever actually live in a garbage can? From the episodes I saw; it seemed like he either lived on a boat or in a house with Olyve Oyl and their fussy triplets.
It’s a play on the theme song. “I’m Popeye, the Sailor man (toot, toot)/ I’m Popeye, the Sailor man/ I’m strong to the finich/ ‘cuz I eats me spinich/ I’m Popeye, the Sailor man” In this case, replace the second line with “I live in a garbage can.” Personally, I like “I live in a moving van” a lot more. Edit: Also, those aren’t Popeye and Olive’s triplets. They’re Popeye’s nephews: Pipeye, Pupeye, Poopeye, and Papeye.
Omigosh, it literally felt like 6 months ago I watched the FF Crossroads video and that Kadokawa Jet Girls one too, dude these past years felt so samy I don't know anymore what year we are on.
Halo? Grand Theft Auto 3? Metal Gear Solid 2? Final Fantasy 10? Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3? Jak and Daxter? Devil May Cry? All overrated. Games were a lot better in the year 2000 before all the current-gen crap released to pander to people who only care about graphics. Hopefully, 2002 is better so I can justify my choice of a Gamecube over a PS2. Crossing my fingers Nintendo doesn't become like Sega
I 100% share your disappointment in Mario Golf which I was super hype for. I love Toadstool Tour & World Tour. But I would’ve been fine with trickled content if it still PLAYED like Mario Golf. Instead they removed all skill from the game. No manually aiming your shot. No manual accuracy (which was optional in past games, so there was still an easy way). These changes probably stem from the pushing of speed golf since you wouldn’t have time to set up shots, but it just takes what would be a fun side-mode and makes it the whole game, ruining the experience. And literally all they had to do was include an OPTIONAL “classic controls” for people that want to play “normal” golf. Sigh. I’m still upset.
Strongly disagree with you on Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl, I don't think the game is as souless or bad as you make it out to be. It's not Smash Ultimate, not by a mile, but I think the game is very fun. Flawed as hell but still fun. Also technically Game Mill is only the publisher of this game not the developer who is Ludocity who actually have made a really good Smash Clone in Slap City. The real problem with the game is that Nickelodeon and Viacom themselves restricted Ludocity with a very small budget. That is mostly why they didn't have voice acting this time around in fact they have said that voice acting would have cost more than half of the original budget. Thankfully they have announced that other content (And voice acting which is implied for right now) coming next year. If Power Rangers: Battle for the Grid can make a big recovery after a not good launch then the same can happen with this game so count the game out just yet. Also, Helga being in the game makes most sense since in Hey Arnold she is the character that would actually start fights.
Nickbrawl does exactly what I wanted it to do: provide a ridiculously fast paced platform fighter experience. Is it in my top 5 platform fighters? No, but it doesn't have to. I've had a lot of fun 1v1 battles and will propably continue having them for a long time. I came for gameplay, not voice acting... but hey, that's coming next year for those who care.
I’ve always liked the Mario Golf games. Camelot usually (used to?) have a good handle on golf. But Super Rush was super awful. It’s the only Mario Golf game that I have ever traded in. Like you, I played it for a few days, then lost interest and never went back- and the updates weren’t enough to make me care. Speed golf is a dumb concept to base your golf game around. It doesn’t make things fun; it removes the strategy of the game and minimizes the actual golf content. I’m not sure if Camelot’s heart is in it anymore. (But we’ll always have the older games.)
Probably Camelot doesn't want to make the Golf/Tennis series, but it makes them with the minimum effort. I don't know either if they want to make a new Golden Sun.
I'm glad someone shares my feelings on Halo Infinite. It's completely unsatisfactory to think of customization from the older games to this modern iteration
it's funny cause voice acting for Nick All-Stars was actually recently announced to be in the pipeline at last. It seems they are actually interested in making the game better!
War in the north was the only game I could get my wife to play...we spent hours playing that game! Now I'm constantly on the lookout for a cool local coop rpg, yea, good luck right?

HOWDY Y'ALL. The worst of the year is here and my entire soul hurts. What are some other terrible games I missed this year? Lemme know.
Honestly I the GTA remaster was OK, for me the worst was definitely the Bloodrayne remaster, at least the GTA remaster improved on the originals in some ways, the Bloodrayne remaster improved nothing and ran worse then the GTA trilogy did on launch, with pathetically low frame-rates, frequent crashing and the removal of cheats.
16:40 what are you talking about Final Fantasy 14 being free-to-play?
Dude I'm doing my own internet sleuthing and I'm coming up with: "Final Fantasy XIV is closed to new players, game taken off the market" so again what you mean ftp?
@@psyenz8946 For a majority of this year the base game and the first expansion were completely free to play, that's several hundred hours of content anyone can access. Things are closed at the moment because the servers are swamped.

About Nick All-Stars, Nick themselves is holding the game back. Stuff like alternate costumes came in very late just because Ludosity had to get the approval for each costume and Nick is super picky about it. Heck, the lead developer praised MultiVersus' reveal while throwing shade to Nick on his tweets.

That doesn’t change the quality of the game. Sucks for the devs, but you can’t pretend a bad game is a good game just because you feel bad for them.
@@maninblack3410 i just go u tried ur best considering who u had to work with ~glares daggers at Nickelodeon~
I kinda feel bad for Nick All Stars devs. From what I have read, they actually wanted to add more stuff to the game, as well as giving them unique dialogues, but couldn't because of restrictions given by Nickelodeon. Plus, they wanted to price the game at $20 but Gamemill decided to price it at $50 instead.
I still hope the game manages to catch its footing soon. Power Rangers Battle for the Grid shows that making a major comeback is possible.
The way they phrased it ("our hands were tied") makes it seem more like a budgetary issue. After all, most of Nickelodeon's cartoons use union VA's (kinda ironic when you consider their other business practices, but I digress), not to mention that characters such as Oblina and Nigel Thornberry would have to be recast (as Cristine Cavanaugh passed away in 2014 and Tim Curry's 2012 stroke has limited his vocal range). Obviously, that kind of expense for a shovelware Smash clone would be deemed unnecessary.
Literally this week you can find a Twitter post by one of the lead devs in the game shocked after Nick announced a mobile tennis game featuring unique costumes and dialogue. It really looks like the whole situation was the perfect storm of Nick restrictions + Gamemill low budgets.
If I remember right, they said that getting voice acting for the game would've costed half of the game's whole budget. They were really, _really_ given a bad hand.

3:10 My biggest fear about the future of gaming is that all of the hilarious anime booba games have become predatory mobile gacha games instead, sort of like how tie-in movie adaptation shovelware games largely died alongside the Wii when companies realized they could spend less and make more money with phone games instead. Truly, when the PS Vita died and smartphone app sales rose past console games in Japan it was an end of an era
The vita games had hundreds of dollars in dlc it was not much better
Nah, the thing that will _really_ kill ecchi anime games is censorship, whether it be Sony's hypocritical policies or countries like Australia denying people's freedom of speech.
@@otaking3582 Yeah. They are flooding onto the Switch eshop like the anchovies in the first episode of Spongebob for a reason.
Good.
Predatory, half-baked, manipulative, lazy, and disrespect your intelligence, your agency, your property, and your wallet. Gameplay is repetitive, manipulative, repetitive, or nonexistent.
The one I played today just had an update that I am convinced installed a background bitcoin miner. The freaking chat box takes a minute to respond. But hey, it isn't censored like the other one.
I can't be the only one who feels genuinely insulted by censored games.
I actually feel exactly the same way about Mario Golf and I am so glad I'm not alone with my disapointment.
When i saw the trailer i just went "if people like that good for them"
For a moment i thought "They didn't JUST turn a golfing game into a racing game, there has to be something more to it"
But no, apparently Nintendo failed to apply common sense
No one plays golf to rush trough stuff, it is like turning a shooter into a dating sim, except shooters have a bigger demographic
you don't have to play the story mode to unlock stuff.
Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl makes me really sad, since it seems like the devs really care and that if the game had been given more dev time it could have been amazing. They are still updating the game, and next year they're adding cross-play and soft-confirmed that they're voice acting. But the damage is done and so few people care anymore, pretty much the only thing keeping the game alive is Hungrybox.
They *just* (unofficially, mind you) announced that voice acting is coming to NASB, so you've got that to look forward to.
The devs (especially the main one, Thaddeus) have been pretty open about how they *wanted* to do some of the things you had complaints with, but the game was rushed out the door and some of those requests Nickeoldeon straight up refused. They didn't let them use unique dialogue, get VA work, get unique costumes until now, etc.
Honestly, it doesn't even seem to be fully GameMill's fault. The fault lies solely on Nickelodeon themselves. They still take some blame, but Nickelodeon definitely seems to be picky.
Pretty sure he would've mentioned that if he was aware of it while writing this video.
@@GatorRay he's literally never done that before though
Apparently Nick just wasn't keen on the game doing well
But now that the game flopped it is too late to start investing in it
I doubt they care, the game was dirt cheap to make so they'll profit regardless
@@557deadpool True
@@rompevuevitos222 since when did this game flop? Did you literally just make that up?
I can understand that Nick Brawl being disappointing, as a lot of the missing crap was because Nick/Viacom put a bunch of red red tape. So it's only a bit of gamemil fault. However, from what I heard Crossplay and Voice acting in 2022 plus more content, so even with Multiversus coming don't count NASB out just yet
People already looked at it and got dissapointed, fixing stuff now will not do much
With Cartoon Network's game coming out they even lost the bonus of being the latest smash-like game
Unless CN's game flops NASB is not coming back from that
@@rompevuevitos222 I mean, Power Rangers: Battle for the Grid had similar issues as well (underwhelming visuals, lack of VAs, small budget) but there was still a good game at it's core

I saw Melee fanboys saying that Nick All Star Brawl was going to be the quote, "Smash Ultimate killer". Than when it was released and people were harshly criticize the game those same people where like, "it was made by an indie studio! Don't criticize it too much!"
I mean, I don't thing these things are contradictory tbh.
The game has a really solid foundation, and has things going for it that Ultimate will never get, especially for more competitive fans.
It's pretty well known that the devs were dealt a bad hand with the Project, so "deflecting" the critiscisms to those aspects isn't completly absurd because judging by the post-launch support it's pretty clear they could've done better in different circunstances.
I don't disagree that the overhyping of the game did way more harm then good Lol. The game didn't need those types of comparisons.
@@masterdhegamer6661 Honestly when people say that something is going to the " *blank* killer" it opens the door for people outside that circle to judge the game more harshly than it otherwise should be.

@@masterdhegamer6661 I love it when people regurgitate what the devs say. The devs continuing to "support" the game is like any other unfinished game getting patches and new content because they couldn't finish the product, regardless of any reason, before launch.

18:45 Those are actually characters made using a software known as Comipo, aka Manga Maker (as the rights got bought by the same publisher as RPG Maker and Game Maker). I used it nearly a decade ago on my family's old computer, and even made a manga version of Huckleberry Finn for a high school English assignment.
Oh my Comipo also saved my ass when doing Comics or storyboard requirments back in my school days!
Well.. now I just want a list of worst games for 2001. Time me back in time, Austin!
Triple jump did a list.
Still waiting for Mario Strikers 3, but with the current gaming scape, I think it would be like they say, "careful what you wish for".
I've heard some rumors about GTA having those issues partly because it was not supposed to even be in the radar yet, but since Rockstar didn't have anything else to release this year they decided it would be a good idea to throw this remaster under the bus to cash-in... Probably not realizing how far behind the studio responsible actually was to get the game up to par - or even just deciding cashing in the hype was worth making the team work overtime to fix a launched title.

You quite literally have the same problems I also had with SuperRush it’s insane lol. I also thought a lot of the course design in SuperRush was very bland and forgettable compared to World Tour
The thing with Nerf legends is that after Hot Wheels unlimited made old school toys so fun I really was hoping it'd be a good game.
In 20 years, some guy who was a kid during this time will be like AVGN but Game Mill is his enemy instead of LJN.

Nick all stars has strong gameplay, kinda wish it got more credit for that. But the total package was rough, almost non-existent features outside of online, I get that.
I was also super exicted for mario golf and thought the story mode would be like the game boy advance version which i loved. Oh boy how wrong i was.

"And this crow looking thing."
... That's... that's a vulture.
Yeah I'm an idiot.
My most disappointing game was Axiom Verge 2. Was waiting YEARS for a follow up, and then it finally came out... And was nothing at all like the first one. Thomas Happ, the developer, stripped out everything that made the first one great. So disheartening
Damn I had the first on Xbox and was wondering where the sequel was.
I'm fortunate, I finally got my Switch this year so I spent most of the year catching up on all the goodness I missed out on while ignoring all this garbage. Then Endwalker came out and I stopped caring about the real world entirely.
The nickelodeon all star brawl opinion is straight offensive man. Why play NASB over Smash? Because the developers care about the players’ online experience and are responsive to our critiques. They even announced voices are coming soon.
Too little to late for me personally
The most disappointing thing about the new Dark Alliance game is how it seems to have no desire to build on the legacy of the previous two games. Yeah, we all love Drizzt, but he was never central to the plot they were building with 1 and 2, so it feels weird to see him taking over now. It's almost as if they care more about the character's name recognition, than in making a fun game that progresses the story that came before.
2001 had a lot of amazing games, it must have been hard to find bad ones
Yep a fantastic year for gaming
- GTA 3
- Halo CE
- Smash bros melee
- MGS 2
- Silent Hills 2
- Max Payne

Moorhun is Chickenshoot and I remember playing the timed demo of it fondly... _Over 15 years ago._ I feel like boomer confessing these things... The passage of time marches ever onwards.
I'm surprised to see Mario Gold on here. I thought it was a pretty decent package, and I've had loads of hours of fun with it!
I'm right there with you. I just finished and I literally said, "oh wow" when he held it up. I've sank many MANY hours into the game and, outside of still not getting the wind physics, I've thoroughly enjoyed it. I frequently load it up just to play a round because it's a wonderful time killer. I get his gripes about the campaign because Speed Golf blows but I'm surprised by his disappoint. To each their own, though; some people like mayonnaise and I think that shit is gross.
Dudes is blaming a game basically for adding a extra mode to play that he does not like that he does not need to play and saying its a bad game for it.... nah it's lots of fun.
i got slightly disappointed when i realized 2001 was a typo, i think a series covering worst (maybe best too, or better yet, hidden gems) games of each year in the '00s would be really interesting, that specific time period is a bit unrepresented in this format i feel
I agree, and the reaction to my typo has me thinking.
The soul of Nick All-Star Brawl was in the Melee-inspired gameplay, not the Nickelodeon license. But even then, adding characters like Helga, Powdered Toast Man, and Reptar were genius ideas for characters that would make Sakurai proud. I think the game had one goal - provide a fun Melee-inspired experience featuring Nickelodeon characters - and personally, I think it succeeded. If Ludosity makes a sequel, they better get an actual budget this time.
I agree, but at the same time the game felt so ... lifeless. The roster is great and the game plays smoothly enough but the lack of voice acting, game modes, music... it just makes it drab to play unfortunately :/ I still give ludosity a lot of credit they did their best with the limited budget & time they had
Sadly though, it was the Nick license that got me excited.
My favorite part of smash is that it's a celebration of Video games.
Nick all stars does not feel like a celebration of Nick. It feels like another licenced game with no soul.
Moorhuhn? We Germans love that and hated them at the same time. In the early 2000s it was on nearly every PC in the country than the company behind them were involved in shady things and the bubble bursted. IP was sold and they do the games out now.
Wonder if I should publish something small on GXC before releasing a bigger project on Steam, as a solo indie dev.
Austin, if you see this, I'd gladly hear your opinion.
"just play smash"

It's Nintendo we're talking about. Don't be ridiculous.
@@Gatorade69 Smash Ultimate was made by Bandai Namco, aka the people known for using shitty netcode. Getting mad at Nintendo is like getting mad at Sony for Street Fighter 5's shitty netcode
i don't know why, bro, it seems like we would be friends in real life but the kind of friends who always disagree and discuss in detail things they like. I really like your videos and put them on my top priority once you release one. Good job, keep it up.
what Nintendo and EVERY company needs to do is make a "its been a year since release" edition where all the bonus content that will be gone in 10 years time when they shut down servers is on a new disc/cartridge so that way the complete version of the game can still be played. the PS3 and VITA almost got their stores shut down and thats been avoided for now, but the WiiU and 3DS are next up on the chopping block with no backing down in sight. im sure there are a good few games on those consoles that dont have a "complete version" out there. some cases that come to mind are already taken care of with being ported to the Switch with all their content, but its very few...
It's Popeye The Sailor Man,
It belongs in a garbage can,
It's a game that you'll never finish,

I was disappointed in Dark Alliance and I played it free via my GamePass subscription. I can't imagine the frustration of those who bought it.

Are we going to see a"best games of 2021" video this year? I absolutely loved the "best games of 2018' video and actually tried some of the games from that list and I'd love to see a best of list this year
Seriously though, I dont understand the business model of "release a bad game and then update it in post." Like, cool, you get money immediately, but you also get bad reviews immediately. Everyone races to review a game when it comes out. No one races to review a game for patch 2.0231b. A bad game stays bad. I didn't even know all those updates happened for Mario Golf. I heard it was bad on release, and then I never sought out more information on it because why would I? "Oh maybe this game I had vague interest in is better now that 6 months have passed"? No.
Like, there *has* to be numbers somewhere that shows how bad of a business model this is. It's money upfront in exchange for a bad relationship with your playerbase. Ew.
VERY much depends on what kind of game company you are- a shovelware dev who just wants to squeeze something out can save money on final polish, squirt something out and get the sales they'd get for their fundamentally bad game no matter how much extra polish they'd have, keep a cheap skeleton crew on to drop some extra content, and then be done with it. And a company like Nintendo can rock this style because even if the reviews are bad they KNOW they'll sell well on brand alone AND they are the types who WILL keep these games around. They know their games will sell for YEARS, and so the games their future customers will buy will be the complete version and they won't get what all the early compöainers were all about.
"But the servers-"
My friend, this is NINTENDO- they will sell their "definitive editions" for the next consoles in perpetuity and for full price, and no one will be any wiser.
Ironically, the people for whom this IS a bad business plan are thus companies who DO intend to make "full" games but can't afford the bad PR associated with a crummy launch, since those companies would be the ones who need it the most. Like.. the reason this is popular is because games get more and more expensive to make every year. If the product can be brought to the market during what was once the unprofitable "polish" phase and thus quickly recover the money that's spent on them, which by the time the game reaches "polish phase" is these days as expensive or even MORE expensive than when old games reached the "finished phase", then by God there is not a profit-minded businessman in the world rhat wouldn't take that opportunity. Ultrarich devs who can afford a delay do it to maximize profits and ignores the reputation hit because they know the only ones who care are a minority of the audience. Shovelware devs just continues to squeze out games quick as they can. But the devs who might have good intentions but really need money as fast as possible? They need this model the most. But if it goes wrong, they take the biggest hit from it.
I don’t think Nick All-Star Brawl is bad as you make it sound, but it definitely could’ve been better
I was confused about how you said that the Fast and the Furious game was slow since it looked fast enough for me, then I remembered that I watch UA-cam videos at double speed.
At first I thought New World was an Eternal Darkness game of some kind from the first few moments in the first trailer.
Then saw it wasn't... then saw nothing again of it until this video and forgot about it.
That seems to be a pattern with those trailers between it and the DnD game which I only saw one other video of.
I've never even heard about that Fast & Furious kids show.
Stick around with Nickelodeon All Star Brawl. They just dropped Garfield, who is a lot of fun to play. Then Shredder from TMNT will follow, as well as a Double Dare stage.
Also, a datamine leak revealed that Tommy Pickles, Chuckie Finster, Angelica Pickles, and Susie Carmichael from the Rugrats will be playable. They're not completely off the table. At least I hope they aren't!
And apparently there's gonna be more characters down the line, as well as potential voice acting.
Maybe we'll still get XJ9, Timmy Turner, Jimmy Neutron, and El Tigre in the future!
Like someone said below, look at what happened with Power Rangers: Battle for the Grid.
Uh.... not a lot of people have had hands on time with ps5s and series x's.
And you didn't need to play the story mode in Mario Golf in order to unlock the courses. You could have just played the courses you had and after 18 holes, you would unlock the next one.
"Why not just play smash?" Because people want a platform fighter with functional online and real movement tech. I know the game wasn't in a good state at launch but Ludosity is trying their best with Nick's horrid limitations. And they've already confirmed cross-play for early next year and heavily hinted that voice acting is being added. I'm not some diehard fanboy but I think that Ludosity deserves some time to clean up the mess Nick and Gamemill made them release.
At least we have Multiversus to look forward to
Except, you kinda are? Nick can be blamed for many things, but not for the games "real movement tech" as you so wrongly put it. I've seen flash games more fluid than this. Oh and before you go "Yea, well Gamemill shouldn't have made them release it!", they should have had a basis for characters and stages before they even started adding extra stuff. Sakurai, before he got permission to use Nintendo's characters, had a base map and base style for characters.
@Baka Ranger When I say I'm not a diehard fan I mean it I have issues with the game as well. A bunch of the characters feel samey and I dislike the fact many aerials share the same action as their grounded counterparts and I'll admit that the game is scuffed as hell but I trust that ludosity can fix it as they seem to be listening to player's critiques. But as I've noticed by your other comments that you didn't come here for meaningful conversation and debate you came here to throw shade at any game not made by Nintendo. When someone says they enjoy a platform fighter more than Smash you insult the game they enjoy or them as a person or when they talk about Smash's garbage online or the fact the joycon's have drift you deflect the blame away from Nintendo. I enjoy Smash and Nintendo but I'm at least willing to admit that they both have flaws that they could have fixed but couldn't be bothered to. If anyone here is a diehard fanboy it's you chief.
I was REALLY excited, when they announced Dark Alliance because i love the Drizzt Story.

As someone from Germany I played all Moorhuhn games. Mohrhuhn Kart 2 isn't new. It originally came out in 2004. And it was the only Kart game I played as a child, because it was on PC and I didn't have a console. Treasure of Atlantis was the first Platformer I ever played and Moorhuhn Pinball the first Pinball game... For nostalgia sake I bought all Moorhuhn games together for 10 Euro a couple of years ago. Played everyone of them once and didn't touch them again.
I loved you Balan Wonderworld Video, thank you so much for giving us a full picture of what that game was meant to, and could have been.

Here’s a fun fact: I was working at GameStop when the Chicken Shooting game came out for ps5 and while I was filing it I noticed something; on the back of the box for the PS5 version it has joycons and the handheld Switch to show you how the controls work.
Me and my family had a lot of fun playing Mario golf and it didn’t disappoint me
They announced the voices (and online crossplay) for the nicklodeon smash clone now, that's something.

As a German, one of my Childhood games was Moorhuhn (shooter). If you bought a standard PC in the early 2000s, it came preinstalled with Space-Pinball, Minesweeper and Moorhuhn.
Before I got a PS2 and PSP I always played these.
Minesweeper is even available for free for Android in the Appstore.

Does Popeye ever actually live in a garbage can? From the episodes I saw; it seemed like he either lived on a boat or in a house with Olyve Oyl and their fussy triplets.
It’s a play on the theme song. “I’m Popeye, the Sailor man (toot, toot)/ I’m Popeye, the Sailor man/ I’m strong to the finich/ ‘cuz I eats me spinich/ I’m Popeye, the Sailor man”
In this case, replace the second line with “I live in a garbage can.”

I 100% share your disappointment in Mario Golf which I was super hype for. I love Toadstool Tour & World Tour. But I would’ve been fine with trickled content if it still PLAYED like Mario Golf. Instead they removed all skill from the game. No manually aiming your shot. No manual accuracy (which was optional in past games, so there was still an easy way). These changes probably stem from the pushing of speed golf since you wouldn’t have time to set up shots, but it just takes what would be a fun side-mode and makes it the whole game, ruining the experience. And literally all they had to do was include an OPTIONAL “classic controls” for people that want to play “normal” golf. Sigh. I’m still upset.
When I first saw Super Rush I wanted to try real life golfing, and it didn't disappoint.
Strongly disagree with you on Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl, I don't think the game is as souless or bad as you make it out to be. It's not Smash Ultimate, not by a mile, but I think the game is very fun. Flawed as hell but still fun.
Also technically Game Mill is only the publisher of this game not the developer who is Ludocity who actually have made a really good Smash Clone in Slap City.
The real problem with the game is that Nickelodeon and Viacom themselves restricted Ludocity with a very small budget. That is mostly why they didn't have voice acting this time around in fact they have said that voice acting would have cost more than half of the original budget. Thankfully they have announced that other content (And voice acting which is implied for right now) coming next year.
If Power Rangers: Battle for the Grid can make a big recovery after a not good launch then the same can happen with this game so count the game out just yet.
Also, Helga being in the game makes most sense since in Hey Arnold she is the character that would actually start fights.
Nickbrawl does exactly what I wanted it to do: provide a ridiculously fast paced platform fighter experience. Is it in my top 5 platform fighters? No, but it doesn't have to. I've had a lot of fun 1v1 battles and will propably continue having them for a long time. I came for gameplay, not voice acting... but hey, that's coming next year for those who care.
I’ve always liked the Mario Golf games. Camelot usually (used to?) have a good handle on golf. But Super Rush was super awful. It’s the only Mario Golf game that I have ever traded in. Like you, I played it for a few days, then lost interest and never went back- and the updates weren’t enough to make me care.
Speed golf is a dumb concept to base your golf game around. It doesn’t make things fun; it removes the strategy of the game and minimizes the actual golf content.
I’m not sure if Camelot’s heart is in it anymore. (But we’ll always have the older games.)
Probably Camelot doesn't want to make the Golf/Tennis series, but it makes them with the minimum effort.
I don't know either if they want to make a new Golden Sun.
