James forgot about Lester the Unlikely part 6.. you pay your money for the game but instead of a game, the employee at the store just kicks you in the balls..
in LtU: The final chapter, the unrated edition, Lester is reaped in the Hunger Games with every action movie hero ever created. Lester takes one look and jumps off his platform, blowing himself to back to the game world where FPS Russia blows him up again, telling him to "Have a nice day". He then ends up in Shrek's swamp, where Glass Joe beats him black and blue. Grav3yard girl then tries to figure out if he really works, then beats the crap out of him and tosses him in a dumpster. MatPat tries to come up with a theory as to why Lester has so many sequels and how he keeps surviving all these nonsensical punishments the UA-cam commenters keep coming up with but contemplating it causes a nuclear explosion which vaporizes Lester, who is now living in a dump with spooky, scary Skeletons and enjoying it better than his crappy game but still had to endure Mike J ramming the Hutzler Banana slicer up his rear every hour. The particles appear in the middle of a Nostalgia Critic review and he chases them around comic-con before they change into the form of Freddy Fazbear before being destroyed by purple man, who unzips himself to reveal none other than Lester himself: Lester is purple guy. Every character from everything Lester's been through then attacks him until he's an oil stain in the pavement. The AVGN takes a dump on it, which only offends him, so Superman blasts it back into LtU 1, which is why the game is so crappy to begin with.
I just love how Lester does things out his own will and disobeys the player. HE RUNS AWAY FROM THE FUCKING TURTLE. WHY THE HELL WOULD THEY PROGRAM THE GAME LIKE THAT?
Watching this again and I have just one question: How on Earth did someone like Lester, who the game establishes to be very afraid of virtually harmless sea turtles, who has possibly narcolepsy, and is an established physical wimp manage to swim to a deserted island after his ship was shunk? Was it that close by?
I'm having a hard time believing that he actually swam from the sunken ship given his disappointing lack of stamina or any kind of upper body strength.
+theuncalledfor It all has to do with badges. You can't have Pokemon exceed a certain level until you beat another gym, which raises your maximum capacity for training Pokemon.
AlluMan96 I repeat: I thought only traded pokemon disobey when they exceed your badge-level. Don't pokemon that you catch in the wild, or hatch from an egg, always obey even if they're above your badge-level?
@@KLegyyn Steve Urkel was a dork and a buffoon, but if you had the choice between being abandoned on an island with Lester The Unlikely or Steve Urkel, you’d ALWAYS go with Urkel!
To be fair, the developers had a somewhat creative idea where over the course of the game, the character develops "courage"/strength. However, it takes time for that to happen and I imagine gamers would be rather frustrated initially dealing with a character who starts out being afraid of his own shadow.
To be fair, this game really isn't that bad. It has some cryptic "where the fuck do I go and what the fuck do I do" parts, but that used to be common back in those days. The expectation was that you would at least have the manual. It's no Super Metroid or anything like that, but it's not a bad game. Just an average game.
That's every Hollywood movie about an underdog ever. "Somewhat creative" is being generous. It's a tired, hack-y idea still used in tween movies everywhere, and millions of books. Ripping off an old tired Hollywood idea is not my idea of creativity, but if that's what gets you excited, you'll love the new Twilight movie and game and teddy Bear and antiseptic and hemorrhoids cream and suppository, etc...
This game might have been more interesting if Lester grew a pair during gameplay. He would be less afraid each stage, his attacks would start getting stronger, he'd start running faster, etc.
TheDreReichDude Right, someone below in the comments had already pointed out and I only noticed after I wrote this. To be fair, AVGN is probably making the point that if a game isn't really much fun at the start there's probably not a good incentive to keep playing to see if it gets better.
Coming soon to theaters: Lester The Unlikely - The Movie Starring Rick Moranis as Lester, Dennis Hopper as The Turtle, Gilbert Gottfried as The Bird, Michael Keaton as The Bats, and Nicolas Cage as The Fiery Ghost Hands
With Lester the Unlikely 7, there is no game, no system, nothing. You just give the clerk at gamestop $50, ask for Lester the Unlikely 7, and he steps out and kicks you in the nuts.
Lester the Unlikely 7 is coming on Xbox One. When the game starts, Lester falls down, and Master Chief teabags him. Then you get the red ring of death.
"And there's a new one coming on the PS4 using the latest, state-of-the-art technology of constructing the disk out of orangutan diarrhea." Pre-ordered.
"he's gonna take you back to the past" takes a whole new meaning when you're 28 and reminiscing of your early teenage years watching AVGN at the weekend drinking session
The Flowers of Robert Maplethorpe, now that is a game that makes Silver Surfer or the Mega Man series look like a walk in the park. Only the most hardcore and I mean HARDCORE of gamers even attempt to dare tackling that challenge. You would need a damn Game Genie to conquer that beast but the CD-I never had one.
For people wanting to try this game out for themselves: You can look up and down by holdng L or R for a second. Really weird, but at least you're able to look up and down. You CAN hold a weapon and an item at the same time. The game is just being very fussy where you're positioned when you try to pick up the rock. When stuck on the sinking ground, you get a chance to jump back to safer ground - pressing just B will make him jump forward. You kick the purple totem pole to continue.
for the look up and down thing that is kinda cool (for an Nes or Snes title anyways, looking all around is kind of a thing a lot of modern games let you do) reminds me of Mario World where you could hold Up/Down and iirc holding L or R or something similar while looking up/down would Lock the camera
ii121 That would be a pretty cool game. Imagine Castlevania™ starring hardcore BDSM leathermen with a soundtrack by Mapplethorpe's former punk paramour Patti Smith.
Yeah, the Ape Dude rocks! Also, Artyom from the Metro games, he wears glasses, is kind of shy, runs a little library, and last but not least kicks ass!
To be completely fair, this game has an interesting premise and it comes together well if you actually get far enough into the game. Lester is not Mario or Link. Lester is suppose to be a normal kid with no worldly experience dumped into an unfamiliar situation where his life is in real danger. He is slow, hesitant, paranoid of is surroundings, and even awkward defending himself -- exactly the way a kid might be if in his situation. He is more relatable than other game heroes like Mario and Link whose courage and reliability were already present in the beginning. If you get far enough into the game, Lester becomes increasingly less fearful. He finds a real weapon. He starts accomplishing real feats. His walk cycle begins reflecting much more confidence. He becomes less of a nerd and more of a survivor. That is the premise of the game -- starting with a scared child and ending with action hero.
It's just little errors, like that climbing sequence, bird pf doom, Item and Weapon two slots (may be it will make more sense in the further game), non-distinguishing weapons, which turned potentially one of the cleverest premises into an AVGN material.
Dreadjaws Yes, it does happen. I won't give away the ending in detail, but we get a screenshot of Lester laying on a beach and ripped like a body builder.
You misunderstand. This is implying that Lester Crest of GTA V is the protagonist in this game. Making it his origin story, or a "prequel", as it were.
MountainD18 I would seriously like to see Steve Urkel beat the shit out of this more pathetic version of woody allen. No urkelbot or Stephon shit. Just Lester and Urkel. lol
Yeah, it does slurp coagulated donkey jizz through my grandmother's anus. It's mainly just awful reality TV. Don't get me wrong, most reality shows are bad (with the exception of Mythbusters, My Cat From Hell, and a select group of Japanese game shows), but the crap today is just excruciatingly ungodly.
"This game is very unnecessarily challenging and unsatisfying due to the awkward controls, poor graphics, and bad story, but will the Nerd like it? Watch to find out!" - Description box Gee I wonder if he's gonna like it...
To be fair, it worked for the OddWorld games because they were slow, methodical, puzzle platformers that required you to be more attentive, not to mention Abe himself wasn't exactly the definition of "strong." He was a janitorial worker at a factory...and SLAVE labor at that! If he were ripped, it'd be a question of "well why doesn't he just beat the shit outta his Glukkon bosses who want to turn Abe and his Mudokkon buddies in to New N' Tasty treats?", so having him die fairly easily to even falling too great a height makes a bit more sense than a bobcat with a white T-shirt emblazoned with a red exclamation point and the "comedic wit" of Pauly Shore starring in a Sonic-style fast-paced side-scrolling platformer...side-note, I cannot BELIEVE I just compared Bubsy to Sonic; for that, I just a few seconds ago received a mach-speed bitch-slap from the blue blur himself! XD
I kind of feel sorry for Lester. If I picked up the game, I'd have to finish it, just because I'd feel like I was abandoning some poor schmuck who doesn't stand a chance without my help. The sound he makes when he gets hurt just breaks my heart.
9:28 I remember when this video came out when I was little, I remember thinking "PS4" sounds so future so weird.... Now we have PS5... Let that sink in
*plays Lester the unlikely* *sees this meme*: "THE MAIN CHARACTER OF THE LAST GAME YOU PLAYED IS NOW HUNTING YOU DOWN FOR UNKNOWN REASONS! HOW FUCKED ARE YOU!?" Me: Yeah I'll live
What if the Nerd was right? What if Lester from Lester the Unlikely is the same Lester from GTA 5? Hence the fact that the Nerd did say he'll make his leap onto the PS4 and that explains why Lester uses a cane. I guess falling from heights really did cause serious injury
***** Yeah, I know cause I had a real copy of it. Freakiest and creepiest thing I ever saw as a kid x.x Need to emulaet/buy it again so I can try to beat it
2:25 Lester is actually pretty badass. Any human irl would have broken their ankles. Man, I wish there was actually Matrix music playing on the part when Lester is running away from the bats, and that it wasn't just in a YTP of this episode.
The air humping gets me every time. Especially since he can't figure out what it even does, it feels like it was just included for the sake of including a humping animation XD
"Have you ever had a game character disobey?" *looks over to Metroid Other M, Mother 3, I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream, Lego Indiana Jones, and Metal Gear Solid*
+theredhatter How are we living in the golden age of television when nobody watches TV anymore? Surely the golden age of television was before on demand and internet streaming???
+Alex ... I think the AVGN´s remark: "TV nowadays suck" refer to a double joke,...the fact that it does suck (with all the shitty reality shows and pseudo-journalism) but also that his TV is an old analog receiver, so it shouldn´t be picking anything up after the ceasing of analog television broadcasting,... hence the commentary.
If you read about this game, it does have a really interesting concept. Basically Lester evolves based on stimuli he's already run into. I mean sure, it's not justifying the bad game design, but for the time it could've been revolutionary. If only they did it right... I highly recommend reading the about the game's attempted innovations.
Gabe Ramirez Games are suppose to start off easy and THEN become challenging after each level. It cannot be the other way around, because that's unfair.
Gabe Ramirez It almost seems like the concept behind Oddworld: Abe's Odyssey too...you start of being pathetic but become more powerful later in the game. If Lester played a bit more like that it might've been a cult classic.
As I said in another comment that's called progression and to start with shitty abilities to evolve to better ones is totally stupid, start with basic and interesting abilities at least
This is actually a really cool concept for a game. Sucks that it was poorly executed, but for the time it was an original idea that could've turned out better in the hands of a superior publisher. Shit, I think the idea would be amazing today. Incorporating some Amnesia like gameplay elements into a comedic platformer that allows you to level up as you "mature" through the game? Sign me up!
> Robert Mapplethorpe was an American photographer, known for his sensitive yet blunt treatment of controversial subject-matter in the large-scale. The homoeroticism of this work fuelled a national debate over the public funding of controversial artwork. Thanks Wikipedia.
Excerpt of Art International, winter 1988, from my Library: "Notoriety, Hype and Glamour fit Mapplethorpe's photographs so well that they seem tailored to the extravagant reactions of both eulogists and detractors who tend to discern either "brilliant" and "pornographic" powers. Nothing in these two shows justified extremes [Which also met his Whitney exhibition] but they did demonstrate skill in the exploitation of what might be the compromising gaze of camera." Which means Mapplethorpe was whoring down for the 3dge. Sterile shock factor is the oxygen of these garbage relativists who removed the "Holy" in art to make it look as grotesque as possible. They're all style over substance justified by fallacious and pretentious statement. Mapplethorpe is to photography what Elfen Lied is to Japanimation: superficially fancy looking with a glazing of sophistication but pointlessly sleazy.
This is actually quite an enjoyable game, it was something that had never been done before in a video game; a character that did not want to be where it was that actually acted like it did not want to be there, instead of it just saying so in the opening scene... As the game progresses Lester actually gains some balls, stops protesting, and kicks major ass... the controls are a little awkward but they are easy to get used to.
"Man, TV nowadays sucks!" As someone that hasn't watched a TV show in years, I can totally relate to this. I watch movies or TV shows on DVD or from streaming services like UA-cam and (on rare occasions) Netflix, but I haven't watched an actual program on television proper in a long time.

How on Earth did someone like Lester, who the game establishes to be very afraid of virtually harmless sea turtles, who has possibly narcolepsy, and is an established physical wimp manage to swim to a deserted island after his ship was shunk?
Was it that close by?
The ship probably crashed as soon as it hit the sand on the shore
It also said at the beginning that he found a life vest.
He also wasn’t even moving relative to the shore. He couldn’t even swim with the tide.
i guess you can consider lester as the unlikely dead
Hey he may be weak but he was a grade A swimmer
I'm having a hard time believing that he actually swam from the sunken ship given his disappointing lack of stamina or any kind of upper body strength.
He has the arm strength of a wet noodle
Maybe waves pushed his unconscious body to the shores
The guy keeps pulling himself up from the overhang of a sheer cliffside. That's some crazy strength.
Dude pushed a boulder bigger than he is, and he could push it further than AVGN had him push it.
Let's just assume he found a rubber ring.

Honestly James needs to revisit this game. The farther you go in the game Lester becomes more of a badass and eventually saves an amazonian princess
@etrestre9403It's real.
@etrestre9403yeah its real. Lester will also move more normally
I beat the game actually
However for 12 levels you are stuck playing as the lester we all know, the guy who runs from a turtle

Probably acid.

To be fair, it worked for the OddWorld games because they were slow, methodical, puzzle platformers that required you to be more attentive, not to mention Abe himself wasn't exactly the definition of "strong." He was a janitorial worker at a factory...and SLAVE labor at that! If he were ripped, it'd be a question of "well why doesn't he just beat the shit outta his Glukkon bosses who want to turn Abe and his Mudokkon buddies in to New N' Tasty treats?", so having him die fairly easily to even falling too great a height makes a bit more sense than a bobcat with a white T-shirt emblazoned with a red exclamation point and the "comedic wit" of Pauly Shore starring in a Sonic-style fast-paced side-scrolling platformer...side-note, I cannot BELIEVE I just compared Bubsy to Sonic; for that, I just a few seconds ago received a mach-speed bitch-slap from the blue blur himself! XD
@@bluestreaker9242 Oddworld was the shit. Becoming the Shrykull is a motherfuck'n ｍｏｏｄ
Donkey Kong had fall damage.....
*Prince of Persia has wntered the chat
Mario 64 and banjo kazooie have fall damage. 👀
I kind of feel sorry for Lester. If I picked up the game, I'd have to finish it, just because I'd feel like I was abandoning some poor schmuck who doesn't stand a chance without my help. The sound he makes when he gets hurt just breaks my heart.
It's not Lester the Unlikely. It's Lester the Unlikeable. ^^
OHHHHHHHHHHH
+Quimper111 Lester The Unplayable.
+Quimper111 There's something adorable about his stumbling and fumbling though.
+Ill headbutt ur nan perfect impression(:
+Quimper111 And someone ran it at Awesome Games Done Quick 2016! Finished the game in 17:22!
9:28 I remember when this video came out when I was little, I remember thinking "PS4" sounds so future so weird.... Now we have PS5... Let that sink in
Exactly bro. I thought the video was made in 2020 for a sec
Forgot how long the PS4 has been around
I think it was Unlikely for him to be picked for Super Smash Bros 4.
What a weird way to say "Why the fuck was he not atleast DLC?"
If DLC means Definitely Liable to Cry, then yes.
Lily Black DLC means Downloadable Content.
You kinda missed the joke.
he probably will be picked for smash before waluigi
9:20 One of my favorite AVGN moments of all time!!
Shishi "the fifth game isn't even a game. It's just a bag of shit that says Lester the Unlikely 5 on it"
I find this part amusing too!
Hah, real shit.
@@Killerbeast-hx5qp The best of the series.
Maplethorp repeatedly turned to flowers.
Also he took homoerotic photos. Look it up if you don't trust me.
There Is Another Nah, that was his son. He went from picking flowers to deflowering woman.

They should do a Kickstarter for Lester on the PS4.

Glass Joe could beat the shit out of this guy

Nah man, a Waddle Dee from KIRBY would annihilate this guy.
That is why he has 1-99
What if the Nerd was right? What if Lester from Lester the Unlikely is the same Lester from GTA 5? Hence the fact that the Nerd did say he'll make his leap onto the PS4 and that explains why Lester uses a cane. I guess falling from heights really did cause serious injury
***** What console is that game on?
***** Never owned one before
***** It was also available for the SNES
***** Yeah, I know cause I had a real copy of it. Freakiest and creepiest thing I ever saw as a kid x.x Need to emulaet/buy it again so I can try to beat it
***** I know right? Lester the Unlikey: From using sissy kicks on turtles and crabs to helping Michael, Franklin, and Trevor in their heists
"Why does he stand still? It's like he's asking to die. This is the same guy who fell asleep on a cargo platform." Hahahaha
Wheres my Lester the Unlikely 6 in Hd 4k graphics?
+Wizered IT WILL NOT COME OUT.
I'm waiting on Lester the Unlikely on VR tbh. Can't wait to fall into floor and suck my thumb for ten hours.
And then Lester The Unlikely: Yellow Version, where gets killed by Blue's girth.
It's going to be in 8K
Ps4 only does checkerboard 1440p. No 4k 60 fps, sorry.
9:34 the greatest moment in video history
I saw a dude who walked just like that at Walmart the other day. I shit you not.
To be fair, you did go to Walmart, where i'm sure you'll meet all sorts of characers form around the world.
Was he tired of being asked if his name was Lester?
You: Lester?
The guy: Oh.
Lol, his face during the Flowers of Mapplethorpe part. XD
2:25 Lester is actually pretty badass. Any human irl would have broken their ankles.
Man, I wish there was actually Matrix music playing on the part when Lester is running away from the bats, and that it wasn't just in a YTP of this episode.
The air humping gets me every time. Especially since he can't figure out what it even does, it feels like it was just included for the sake of including a humping animation XD
Lester is actually pretty strong for a damn nerd.
I always laugh at 2:11
Just his reaction to Lester's smooth moves
"TV nowadays sucks" There is nothing truer than that my nerdy friend.
It's still true
Still waiting the sequel for my PS4! :D
+Tommi Koistinen I'll stick with GOOD sequels on the PS4, like Batman: Arkham Knight, thank you very much.
SpeedyEric1 Lester>Batman
Tommi Koistinen ...I'm gonna pretend I didn't hear that.
+Tommi Koistinen Not me. I don't want that pile of shit ruining my beloved PS4!
I wouldn't count on the game being released.
The flowers of robert mapplethorpe makes Little Big Planet look like Call Of Duty
6:50 that's actually a pretty cool picture lol
"Now he's afraid of totem poles? This guy sucks!"
XD
Hey, you ever seen a Totem Pole in a dream just... Being there, talking to you?
I haven't. Or, if I have, I do not remember.
I lost it at the 5th game.
2:20 "This guy needs to take lessons from Mario."
That has become one of my favorite vague-reference quotes of all time.
"Have you ever had a game character disobey?"
*looks over to Metroid Other M, Mother 3, I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream, Lego Indiana Jones, and Metal Gear Solid*
For me, King's Quest VI.
The Sims.
*trades a Pokémon higher level than my progress would allow full obedience*
*tries to use it*
*it disobeys*
*surprised Pikachu face*
MOTHER 3?
WHY? WHERE? HOW?
Hawl and Sera The Shapeshifting Cyber Spider Tigress how LEGO Indiana Jones?
It's true. TV nowadays does suck. I don't watch TV anymore.
As I've mentioned to others, we are living in what many TV aficionados are calling the 'Golden Era of Television'
+theredhatter How are we living in the golden age of television when nobody watches TV anymore? Surely the golden age of television was before on demand and internet streaming???
+theredhatter If you're not old enough to have nostalgia then don't join in
+Alex ... I think the AVGN´s remark: "TV nowadays suck" refer to a double joke,...the fact that it does suck (with all the shitty reality shows and pseudo-journalism) but also that his TV is an old analog receiver, so it shouldn´t be picking anything up after the ceasing of analog television broadcasting,... hence the commentary.
+Alex I got rid of my satellite dish service 2 years ago. The internet beats cable TV by a long shot.
4:44-4:53 Seagull with eagle sound effect, and the AVGN's reaction!!! XD
Adam Frandsen Lmao that would be any player's reaction!
“Oh what a cute hummingbird!”
*shrieks like an eagle*
5:56 This is probably one of my favorite AVGN quotes ever.
This actually IS kind of empowering. It makes you feel strong by comparison.

The flowers of Robert Mapplethorpe
James predicted the PS4?
Nothing can stop thy holy PS4!
By that point, PS4 was inevitable.

Do you think there'll be be a PS5?
+GlitteredPineapple001 Most likely. There'll probably be an Xbox Five too, seeing as how Microsoft can't count anymore. Is Vista even a real number?
TheSuckySix
Right.
Microsoft might use Vista,since it has 5 letters in it
Lester's death noise is so funny, it's just a casual "oh"
That part of you trying to jump on the ledge from the boulder had me laughing so hard I had tears running down my face. That was hilarious.
Lester The Unlikely 5 is perfectly compatible with Xbox One you know. I'm waiting 6 on PS4.
If you read about this game, it does have a really interesting concept. Basically Lester evolves based on stimuli he's already run into. I mean sure, it's not justifying the bad game design, but for the time it could've been revolutionary. If only they did it right... I highly recommend reading the about the game's attempted innovations.
I agree, if it wasn't for the falling damage and the confusing levels, I would say this is an underrated SNES/Super Famicom classic
... the game still f***in sucks though!
Lol, all do respect good point.
Gabe Ramirez Games are suppose to start off easy and THEN become challenging after each level. It cannot be the other way around, because that's unfair.
Gabe Ramirez It almost seems like the concept behind Oddworld: Abe's Odyssey too...you start of being pathetic but become more powerful later in the game. If Lester played a bit more like that it might've been a cult classic.
As I said in another comment that's called progression and to start with shitty abilities to evolve to better ones is totally stupid, start with basic and interesting abilities at least
the flowers of robert Mapplethorpe is my favorite game! 10/10 👌
Loser
@@mattman353 You just don't understand the nuances of the Thorpe
Yee
This episode in particular is PURE NOSTALGIA! ❤️
Little does AVGN know that at the end of the game Lester becomes a hunky chick magnet
5:31 My favorite AVGN line ever “Aw, DOODIE!”
This is actually a really cool concept for a game. Sucks that it was poorly executed, but for the time it was an original idea that could've turned out better in the hands of a superior publisher.
Shit, I think the idea would be amazing today. Incorporating some Amnesia like gameplay elements into a comedic platformer that allows you to level up as you "mature" through the game? Sign me up!
1:55 Guy can handle swimming to an island after a bad shipwreck...but a turtle is too much for him....?
For a comic-book geek this guy has some serious upper body strength.
What do you mean?

HA! I GET IT! BECAUSE MASTURBATION!
He skipped leg day.
> Robert Mapplethorpe was an American photographer, known for his sensitive yet blunt treatment of controversial subject-matter in the large-scale. The homoeroticism of this work fuelled a national debate over the public funding of controversial artwork.
Thanks Wikipedia.
I wonder, why they had a console "game", consisting of photos of flowers then. They look relaxing, but still.
Im Lewd, How bout you? As I understood, not porn, but rather softcore homoerotica. But I've never dug deeper Wikipedia page.
Excerpt of Art International, winter 1988, from my Library: "Notoriety, Hype and Glamour fit Mapplethorpe's photographs so well that they seem tailored to the extravagant reactions of both eulogists and detractors who tend to discern either "brilliant" and "pornographic" powers. Nothing in these two shows justified extremes [Which also met his Whitney exhibition] but they did demonstrate skill in the exploitation of what might be the compromising gaze of camera."
Which means Mapplethorpe was whoring down for the 3dge. Sterile shock factor is the oxygen of these garbage relativists who removed the "Holy" in art to make it look as grotesque as possible. They're all style over substance justified by fallacious and pretentious statement. Mapplethorpe is to photography what Elfen Lied is to Japanimation: superficially fancy looking with a glazing of sophistication but pointlessly sleazy.
***** Oh well, thanks for more info.
Also, can I use this fancy words to explain people why I don't like Elfen Lied?
Brauny74
Spread the good word the way you like, yay!
I love how AVGN just has a CD full of random pictures of flowers 😂
9:20 this is the AVGN I miss so much
Today I learned that they are making a new Shaq Fu game. Maybe even Lester the Unlikely still have a chance for a new game!
Ironically, the game will keep getting better and easier as you progress. It's totally not a bad game at all, though not that great either.
Robert Mapplethorpe's non-flower photography is concerning
AVGN: have you ever had a game character disobey? Me: pac-man adventures 2.
Man, Robert Mapplethorpe is one kinky SOB.
This is actually quite an enjoyable game, it was something that had never been done before in a video game; a character that did not want to be where it was that actually acted like it did not want to be there, instead of it just saying so in the opening scene... As the game progresses Lester actually gains some balls, stops protesting, and kicks major ass... the controls are a little awkward but they are easy to get used to.
Lester the Unlikely is also on the Super Famicom called お出かけレスターれれれのれ (Odekake Resuta Rererenore) I have the cartridge
Is it any good?
It's the same game.
"Man, TV nowadays sucks!"
As someone that hasn't watched a TV show in years, I can totally relate to this. I watch movies or TV shows on DVD or from streaming services like UA-cam and (on rare occasions) Netflix, but I haven't watched an actual program on television proper in a long time.
I mean Bar Rescue still on.
Tv shows are better than ever.
