Wait, a corporate conspiracy to try and sell secretly dangerous animals as pets to the public? That's... Ratchet and Clank: Going Commando's plot. Like, word for word.
Yep is soon as i heard that i was lime protopets plus wtf on the wearwolf thing the guy is already a freaking dog and the rank to unlock weapons is a bad mechanic just make them expencive
I'm kind of surprised you didn't mention that the idea of a corporation selling cute, cuddly creatures that eventually transform into bloodthirsty hellbeasts is *l i t e r a l l y* the plot of Going Commando. THEY WEREN'T EVEN TRYING TO HIDE IT
I don't think saying "hell" is because they wanted the game to be more edgy, the developers (just like me) are from Italy and "hell" and "damn" are actually very common words here and we use them a lot in kids shows, cartoons and games... it's literally just poor translation from Italian language.
I find it funny how they made a wolf character into a werewolf... a wolf that turns into a wolf. Which is even more ridiculous when you consider that the particle 'were' actually means 'man'
This game reminds me of ratchet and clank merged with sonic unleashed mixed with jak and daxter and I'm sure I will enjoy it, plus I love games with hilariously bad voice acting 😆😆
Not even joking: when I first discovered your channel and realized we [apparently] share a love for 3D platformers, I thought to myself, "I wish he'd review Ruff Trigger." So imagine my excitement when this popped up today! Thanks, NitroRad!
NitroRad well, if you run out of stuff for reviewing, do jak & daxter, jak II and jak 3 sometime. i practically spent my childhood with them and i think they're all really, really well done 3D platformers. if you get into the right kind of mood (as in feel like a prepubescent 13 year old) even the cutscenes are bearable. other than that, go for it
***** i think at the point where the werewolf gained the power to just clear all enemies in the room it very much reminded me of dark jak's "superpower" moves, Dark Bomb etc. or maybe its the super long extended claws when attacking that were also 'stolen'. didnt want to step on anyones feet tho.
If a game has barely any r34, that should be an instant way to tell it sucks. Unless it's like a horror game like outlast or an rpg maker horror game, because that would just be gore and i don't count gore as r34
RictalEye No, there's outlast porn and it's existed before you even commented. 134 images dating as far back as 2013 to be exact. As for RPG maker horror, I tried the ones I know. Yume Nikki: 253 dating as far back as 2008. Ib: 194 dating back to 2012. Mad Father: 10 dating back to 2013 but it's still there. Lisa: Can't find any r34 on it. The Witch's House: The least of the bunch with 7 dating back to 2011, but again, it still exists. That's 4/5 And all of them weren't gore, some were but not all. Overall I rate the journey I went on to prove somebody's hypothesis about porn wrong on the internet a 3/10, my least favorite part of this was one of the images I was forced to look at to research this reply was a picture of Uboa sucking a large pink dick and it was horrible and bad.
You know this is really like a cheap knock off of Rachet and Clank. They stole the plot from Going commando. Kind of reminds you of those terrible CGI Ripoffs that come out around the time as the actual movies come out.
Elick Ashcroft I know exactly what you mean, like that studio "The Asylum" that made "Transmorphers" and "Paranormal Entity". Their filmography is nothing but putrid, low budget films made to capitalize on the current popular movie.
I remember playing this game when I was a kid, after it was gotten from Blockbuster, along with Looney Tunes Back in Action and I think a couple of other PS2 games. I remember playing this game to death and wishing that there was more to it, as I felt it was really short and not that much of a challenge (for the most part, the bike levels and the guardian boss in the metropolis like level were a pain in the rear end!) I even read an article online ages ago saying that it was a poor man's version of Ratchet and Clank and at the time, I was unaware of what they meant as I hadn't played any of the Ratchet and Clank games at that point, but now, I can definitely see why people would think this, especially after playing Ratchet and Clank 2! I think I mainly liked the game because it had a wolf/werewolf as a playable character more than anything else if I stop to think about it!
The boss battles where you pick the Piglots up and put them down reminded me of that Planet Fitness commercial from a few years ago where they were asking the guy questions about himself and he was answering everything by saying "I pick things up and put them down", before they kicked him out.
he's been over this, what he really means is that platformers that try to have an actual combat system as opposed to enemies that die in a couple of hits don't, like the Legend of Spyro games, Sonic Unleashed, Vexx and as he oh so loves to bring up, Ty 3 while i don't agree with that statement and think games that make combat its own unique challenge are interesting (such as giving the enemy a way to break out of repetitive combos, a small wind up and wind down that prevents spam, or just flooding the player with just enough so that they can't just mash, just to name a few), such as the examples you listed or Rayman 3 (which he actually reviewed)

It only looks shoddy now that we've been spoiled with all the advanced software and hardware for artists, but for the time this was pretty okay art quality for a B-grade platformer. The SNES era wishes it had box covers like this, especially when it came to non-AAA titles.
@@NotRay1995 Are they all from AAA titles? Because it would be unfair to compare big budget SNES release covers to a B-grade low profile title like this, and even then many big hits on SNES had questionable box art. I'm not arguing that nothing better exists on SNES, the point is that even Ruff Trigger's box art looks better than most SNES/Genesis boxes from US/EU regions. Japan's were more tasteful on average even in the SNES era but their covers were also on average better in the GC/PS2/Xbox era.
Funnily enough, If I am correct, The voice actor for Ruff also voiced Goku In the Big Green Dub of Dragonball Z... Which wasn't very good. And that Is being generous. You can find videos of It on UA-cam. His name Is David Gasman.
I had to pause and look at the game subtitles because hearing you say "giving them a treatment and a final solution" out of context gave me a heart attack, because it's 2021 and I'm used to everything being terrible.
Well actually there have been quite a few 3D platforms that have incorporated combat well: Kameo: Elements of Power, Jak 2 and 3, the Tak games, the Ratchet and Clank series (what this abomination is trying to rip-off), the Sly Cooper series, and the 3D Rayman games (games you have already reviewed and given positive comments on)
"Ruff" around the edges seems too easy a joke to make so instead i'll say that Ruff Trigger sounds like a mod for Chrono Trigger that replaces every character with puppies. From what i've seen in this review, I think most people would gladly play that over this dribble. That or a new Chrono game. It's been 15 years Square, make a new one already!
NitroRad Still wasn't as bad as The World Ends With You: Solo Remix's countdown. But yeah, it was pretty disappointing. Expected from Square, but still disappointing.
edit: i hate this comment ignore it "most people" as someone who is pretty biased when it comes to turn-based RPGs, and thinks CT is overrated as hell, i would probably actually play this instead, despite CT obviously being far above in quality -but also doesn't have the advantage of playable werewolf- but i'm not most people so that's still accurate
@@mdalsted forgot i made that cringy comment my main problems with it are that its slow, that it isn't very challenging (a few exceptions like the guardian and final boss exist), a character that can mostly heal someone for 2 MP because square is dumb, bad game over sends you back to the title which never happens in modern games for a reason, still a great game but it took me forever to finish because of these problems (and the final boss is bs if you don't prepare but that's arguably my fault)
The plot even kinda reminds me of the second Ratchet and Clank game, where we have to save this small cute creature only to find out it's a dangerous monster.
1:37 I can confirm that the 110MB typo was not corrected for the UK market. The Wikipedia page has also been updated and Ruff's voice actor is the voice of Rayman, so you were right on that.
Is it just me or does the cover art look way better than the actual game itself does, never mind that the protagonist looks like a fusion between Ratchet and Fox McCloud. Even though I've never actually played the Ratchet and Clank games (though I might play them sometime), I'd have to say that this game looks terrible and boring.
I played this game WAY BACK when I was little and I LOVED the game for some reason reason why guns,monster,and the werewolf thing but that was just 3 year old me.
You know, when I watch these videos, I like to imagine how to remake them, what would need to be changed for modern audiences and actually decent standards. The only change I would make to this game is throwing it in the paper shredder, along with the PS2 unfortunate enough to read it.
Ruff; “WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?” (Drinks) Me; Aaaaaannnnddd explode from the inside. That’s the only logical conclusion here. (Ruff becomes a werewolf) Me; Oh, I forgot, this game is where logic goes to die.
It does seem to defeat the point of gameplay revolving around saving the piglots (spelling) when there are exploding ones you use for basic progression. They're being used in place of basic explosives, but unlike a respawning mine or bomb you'd run over to the wall, it's a living thing that you're otherwise going out of your way to rescue. It'd be one thing if you had an alternative that would be more difficult to use or something, which could trigger a good/bad ending scenario, but this makes no sense.
How hard is it to write in a way for Ruff to get splashed by the liquid? And then write in a thing where he has to keep drinking the liquid to keep him from losing control of his werewolf form? It's not clever writing but it's better than making him the biggest idiot on the block.
Not even the game's plot can be bothered to try something original. The whole thing about the Piglots being cute little pets that turn into monsters is a ripoff of Ratchet and Clank 2's plot about the Protopets.
Natsume has unfortunately become a little soulless. You know how Harvest Moon suddenly became Story of Seasons while there are still Harvest Moon games being pumped out? It’s because they fired most of the Harvest Moon team while retaining rights to the name to try to make it cheaper, so now the team makes Story of Seasons which is the true continuation of the series. Weird, huh?
I actually was quite surprised that the game wasn't as bad as I thought it would when testing it on emulator tho it's way far from perfect. Oh, and also: in France he's voiced by Emmanuel Garijo, who is the French voice for Rayman!
I see Ruff took inspirations from Alice from Alice in Wonderland when it came to drinking random substances. I'm surprised the the beakers didn't have "Drink me" labeled on them!
You know a boss is really bad when it's as easy or easier than Wispy Woods, the first chapter boss that can't even move in most of the games he appears in.
remember back when shitty games were just painfully bad games and that was the end of it? Nowdays the worst games are actively out to scam you out of your money on top of being shitty. How can an industry get so bad as technology improves?
Simple, with each new tool we create to enrich our lives, people will find new ways to misuse it for their own ends of even out of sadism. Hammers are tools that are supposed to be used to drive nails into wood to keep structures together, yet some people decide to use them to beat the crap out of other people, sometimes to death. Only way it's going to stop is it you somehow lobotomize everyone on earth at once regardless of status because everyone is liable to do that. And for obvious reasons, that's not going to happen.
Literally the only part of the game that is memorable: Ruff: OwO What's this? _notices mysterious, potentially dangerous liquid in a test tube_ *takes a drink* Ruff: werewuff now UwU
The voice actor for Ruff was David Gasman who did indeed voice Rayman in Rayman 3 as well as a most other Rayman games and some other notable appearances.
Nearly bought this on Sunday. I'm collecting the ratchet games, the digital copies, and I was seriously considering it. It would be awesome to see what it's like. Sure it's probably crap, but that's why I'd love it
I actually had this game when I was really young it feels weird seeing it in a youtube video, like "oh yeah I had that game I'm surprised someone came across it". thats what this video makes me feel
I assume there was an annotation around the 3:52 mark that corrects your loss and says "he was voiced by David Gasman" or something, before annotations got wiped for being "useless"? Also, if Ruff Trigger is Italian, and so is Titanic: The Legend Goes On, does that mean that Ruff is the Rapping Dog's descendant?
It honestly sounds like the voice actor for Ruff sounds like he's trying to do a Jerry Seinfeld impression but can't quite get it right. So he sounds just a little bit like a douchebag but not as much as Jerry's character in pretty much everything he's in.
Rachet and Clank did the combat right in Platforming, and the Wench only challenge didn't have much as that issue. Legend of Kay did it fine. Sly Cooper 2 and 3 did it perfectly... Boss fights aren't a pain. The problem in the combination lies in the execution and focus.
Btw this is an european game so thats why they can get away with swearing alot since hell and damn arent exactly seen as any major swearwords over here and they arent seen as edgy when compared to American culture were being offended is an regular part of life. For example the game Evil Twin has characters say Damn, Hell, Shit and High On Drugs and its rated 12.
You know whats the greatest sin of this game? The massive use of *_C o m i c - F u c k i n g - S a n s_* And with that freeze frame intro, the boss' name is pronounced as "threeoss".
I hoped there would be a sequel to this called Ruff Cross, but the future refused to change.
I wish I could like this comment more than once.

1:37 I can confirm that the 110MB typo was not corrected for the UK market.
The Wikipedia page has also been updated and Ruff's voice actor is the voice of Rayman, so you were right on that.
3:46 "He sounds a little bit like Rayman", because they are both voiced by David Gasman
How unfortunate to have the name gasman
I SERIOUSLY thought it said Butt Trigger on the thumbnail
ahmedyasirkamal HAHAHAHA GOOD
Thats what I thought when I played it
Pixel Lord
Why did you even play it..?
SuperUltraHyperBlaze I played it because It was on sale and my dad bought it
Is it just me or does the cover art look way better than the actual game itself does, never mind that the protagonist looks like a fusion between Ratchet and Fox McCloud. Even though I've never actually played the Ratchet and Clank games (though I might play them sometime), I'd have to say that this game looks terrible and boring.
You play Ratchet and Clank yet?
I played this game WAY BACK when I was little and I LOVED the game for some reason reason why guns,monster,and the werewolf thing but that was just 3 year old me.
0:39 I'm glad that you specified Low-End Deviantart, because there's also High-End Deviantart.
You know, when I watch these videos, I like to imagine how to remake them, what would need to be changed for modern audiences and actually decent standards. The only change I would make to this game is throwing it in the paper shredder, along with the PS2 unfortunate enough to read it.
Ruff; “WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?” (Drinks)
Me; Aaaaaannnnddd explode from the inside. That’s the only logical conclusion here.
(Ruff becomes a werewolf)
Me; Oh, I forgot, this game is where logic goes to die.
It does seem to defeat the point of gameplay revolving around saving the piglots (spelling) when there are exploding ones you use for basic progression. They're being used in place of basic explosives, but unlike a respawning mine or bomb you'd run over to the wall, it's a living thing that you're otherwise going out of your way to rescue. It'd be one thing if you had an alternative that would be more difficult to use or something, which could trigger a good/bad ending scenario, but this makes no sense.
How hard is it to write in a way for Ruff to get splashed by the liquid? And then write in a thing where he has to keep drinking the liquid to keep him from losing control of his werewolf form? It's not clever writing but it's better than making him the biggest idiot on the block.
I wish I could find strange liquids and ask myself "What the hell is this?" before gulping it down with no hesitation.
Ruff is like Sonic’s edginess with the humble tone of Mario’s voice.
It sounds like Roger Craig Smith's Sonic voice but with none of the direction, like, at all.
9:26 Wow, even the design of the weapons shop menu is straight up ripped off from Ratchet & Clank 2, just with some different colors.
Not even the game's plot can be bothered to try something original. The whole thing about the Piglots being cute little pets that turn into monsters is a ripoff of Ratchet and Clank 2's plot about the Protopets.
I'm a little surprised to see Natsume's logo on this turd. I guess after the NES/SNES era they became a bit more hit-or-miss with their games.
Torgo Gorgo Natsume's American and Japanese branches split off. The Japanese branch is now called Natsume Atari.
Yeah, especially when they made that shitty Buffy GBA game.
Torgo Gorgo I guess they kinda missed, huh?
Natsume has unfortunately become a little soulless. You know how Harvest Moon suddenly became Story of Seasons while there are still Harvest Moon games being pumped out?
It’s because they fired most of the Harvest Moon team while retaining rights to the name to try to make it cheaper, so now the team makes Story of Seasons which is the true continuation of the series. Weird, huh?
"I wish I could be ProJared right now"
No, you really don't.
LOL
Man you people are dicks.
@@diannejohn5346 the irony
@@karierainey4435 what?
U know that wearwolf?!...
Literally dark jak
when you take foodfight, and turn it into a game...
A ProJared reference and joke...... that definitely didn't age well
I actually was quite surprised that the game wasn't as bad as I thought it would when testing it on emulator tho it's way far from perfect. Oh, and also: in France he's voiced by Emmanuel Garijo, who is the French voice for Rayman!
I see Ruff took inspirations from Alice from Alice in Wonderland when it came to drinking random substances. I'm surprised the the beakers didn't have "Drink me" labeled on them!
You know a boss is really bad when it's as easy or easier than Wispy Woods, the first chapter boss that can't even move in most of the games he appears in.
remember back when shitty games were just painfully bad games and that was the end of it?
Nowdays the worst games are actively out to scam you out of your money on top of being shitty. How can an industry get so bad as technology improves?
Simple, with each new tool we create to enrich our lives, people will find new ways to misuse it for their own ends of even out of sadism. Hammers are tools that are supposed to be used to drive nails into wood to keep structures together, yet some people decide to use them to beat the crap out of other people, sometimes to death. Only way it's going to stop is it you somehow lobotomize everyone on earth at once regardless of status because everyone is liable to do that. And for obvious reasons, that's not going to happen.
So I Looked Up David Gasman (the voice Of Rayman) on IMDB, and yes, he is listed as the voice of Ruff Trigger
You could say the voice acting is really... ruff!
"One year later THIS came out". Oh, ya. The game I didn't like. Ah, memories. :P
lol that train thing level made me laugh so hard. God damn that's hilarious.
Literally the only part of the game that is memorable:
Ruff: OwO What's this? _notices mysterious, potentially dangerous liquid in a test tube_
*takes a drink*
Ruff: werewuff now UwU
Kid: mom can we get ratchet and clank
Mom: we have ratchet and clank at home
Ratchet and clank at home:
The voice actor for Ruff was David Gasman who did indeed voice Rayman in Rayman 3 as well as a most other Rayman games and some other notable appearances.
I played Ruff Trigger when I was a kid, and I loved it. I was fascinated by it!!
At 1:04, how come the Ruff Trigger box says "PAL" in the top right, but has an ESRB rating?
Also, you have a great channel, man!
Nearly bought this on Sunday. I'm collecting the ratchet games, the digital copies, and I was seriously considering it. It would be awesome to see what it's like. Sure it's probably crap, but that's why I'd love it
So you've played Killer7, that's fantastic. It's one of my favorite games and knowing you at least played it, makes me happy.
So this game was published by Natsume?
More like "DONOTSUEME!"
As a kid I remember getting this game from our Wal-Mart in the deal bin.
I forgot about that outtake! That last little motion is a perfect sendoff!
"Ratchet and Clunk."
I had a good chuckle over that one...
I'm coming after you.
I'd not seen this video before and your rant about the glowing test tube stuff got me good! :D
There's something really charming about how Nitro does exaggerated freakout reactions
Is it just me or is the era of the 3D playformer chocker blocked full of half baked anthropromorphic character?
"I wish I was ProJared right now"
THINGS THAT DIDNT AGE WELL LMAOOO
"I wish I were projared"
OOF
What rock have you been living under? ProJared proved his innocence
"What the hell is this?"
**proceeds to chug it like he is at a college party, definitely a safe thing to do thanks ruff**
I actually had this game when I was really young it feels weird seeing it in a youtube video, like "oh yeah I had that game I'm surprised someone came across it". thats what this video makes me feel
I assume there was an annotation around the 3:52 mark that corrects your loss and says "he was voiced by David Gasman" or something, before annotations got wiped for being "useless"?
Also, if Ruff Trigger is Italian, and so is Titanic: The Legend Goes On, does that mean that Ruff is the Rapping Dog's descendant?
I loved this game when I was a kid.
It honestly sounds like the voice actor for Ruff sounds like he's trying to do a Jerry Seinfeld impression but can't quite get it right. So he sounds just a little bit like a douchebag but not as much as Jerry's character in pretty much everything he's in.
Believe it or not you are right on the money the voice of ruff is the same voice as Rayman. David Gasman
The guy who voiced ruff is David Gasman
Rachet and Clank did the combat right in Platforming, and the Wench only challenge didn't have much as that issue. Legend of Kay did it fine. Sly Cooper 2 and 3 did it perfectly... Boss fights aren't a pain.
The problem in the combination lies in the execution and focus.
Fixing dangerous monsters to sell them as cute pets...R&C 2 Going Commando anyone?
My condolences Nitro Rad. Playing that game must have been ruff.
Wow, that sounds... Ruff
The 'Werewolf' looks more like a werebadger
Btw this is an european game so thats why they can get away with swearing alot since hell and damn arent exactly seen as any major swearwords over here and they arent seen as edgy when compared to American culture were being offended is an regular part of life. For example the game Evil Twin has characters say Damn, Hell, Shit and High On Drugs and its rated 12.
Wait, the devs got away with saying shit? I thought for that alone you'd get a 16
@@wellyouknowthatslikeyouropinio Not over here. Even Spongebob said shit in one episode of the German version XD
@@DarkturtleX We are way more strict in Poland, we have a tendency to translate out swear words unless they're very necessary
@@wellyouknowthatslikeyouropinio Jesus sorry to hear that. I never understood why minor swear words were so looked upon.
@@DarkturtleX I don't either especially that most people acknowledge that Poles swear a lot
My favorite part is at 15:53 ^_^ personally picked up a used copy at GameStop back in the day. It wasn’t all that good but at least it was cheep.
Ruff Trigger: *Exists*
Ratchet & Clank: "Hold my root beer."
Oh! I remember buying this game thinking that it was a fun and cool game, but when i opened the DVD case, it was a ratchet and clank game. XD
You know whats the greatest sin of this game? The massive use of *_C o m i c - F u c k i n g - S a n s_*
And with that freeze frame intro, the boss' name is pronounced as "threeoss".
