Check Out Elsword: goo.gl/PTJzMN This is a Sponsored Video! It's time for more Bad Anime Video Games. And oh my goodness have we unearthed a barrel stronger than before.
Not just a famous writer, he is one of the most celebrated playwrights of all time. I though Père Goriot is a required reading pretty much everywhere, no?
Zayaan Nashrid it's damn difficult, but there are smaller techniques you can use to avoid that entirely like jet boosting. Even though it's difficult I think that makes it even more fun to me. However screen crunch is always gonna suck a bag of nuts.
If you're gonna play an Astro Boy game, play Omega Factor on the GBA. Legit one of the best games on the system, made by goddamn TREASURE (Sin & Punishment, Gunstar Heroes) and packed full with love for Tezuka's work. Singlehandedly got me into Black Jack
To be fair Sword Of The Berserk was probably pretty fun in 1999, it's an above average game for the time, it also had an interesting story that was written by Miura himself
Maybe one day please make a video about God Hand because, y'know, i and i guess a few other people like me don't have an idea of what you're talking about everytime you make a reference
I would love that. And get onto watching FMA Brotherhood. Netflix just added the entire thing to streaming to promote the terrible looking live action movie they got the rights to, so now is as good a time as ever.
Yeh i find it way better than the filler filled nonsense of full metal alchemist, brotherhood sticks to the canon of the manga way better but thats really down to the fact the manga was still being written while full metal alchemist was being aired so it can't be faulted to much.
I can't believe you didn't even mention the scene with Casca temporarily getting her memories back considering what's currently happening in the manga.
I think FMA: The Broken Angel, falls into that category of Early-mid 2000s anime games that are beat em ups but have RPG elements. Like Naruto Uzumaki chronicles 2
You know, I’m not a big Sonic Team fan or anything, but it seems like, to me at least, that all of their most infamous games could have been something. They all just released way to early. Astro boy, Sonic ‘06, Sonic Boom. You would think their corporate heads would learn the lesson eventually. Let them finish.
your first mistake was being sponsored by Elsword like, how can you talk about bad games, and let yourself be sponsored by one??? Yeah, I know this was a while back, but you still made the mistake XD
wagnersalom Elsword or Dungon Fighter? Dfo has a small community but they're pretty active so I wouldn't say it's dying. Haven't played Elsword in years so idk about it.
WHAT THE FUCK, AUSTIN!? I literally just began watching FMA Brotherhood a few hours ago, you just uploaded a video and the first game you talk about is a FMA game!? Are you spying on me!?
I would actually like to see that. Mostly because I'd be curious to see if Austin knows any surprisingly solid games coming from not-so-solid properties.
A fair number of DBZ games tend to be pretty good. I recommend Attack of the Saiyans which is a very solid little turn-based RPG. My best friend said that FMA: Curse of the Red Elixir was a pretty good game too. FMA also got a RPG on the GBA which looks solid with great sprite work but I didn't play much of it. Fullmetal Alchemist: To the Promised Day on the PSP was received pretty well IIRC. Digimon Adventure on PSP is pretty great, and Digimon Battle Spirit 1.5 is a pretty fun little Smash Bros clone. (Not counting Next 0rder, Cyber Sleuth or Hackers Memory since they're not based off any anime but are great in their own right) Slayers on SNES is fantastic, actually. Very fun RPG with great graphics for the time. Sotry wise it feels like a fanfic but an enjoyable ones. Ranma ½: Akanekodan Teki Hihou is actually a ton of fun too. InuYasha: The Secret of the Cursed Mask is a guilty pleasure but I think it's a legitimately fun RPG. Lost Heroes on PSP is awesome too, though it's more of a toku game than anime. Sailor Moon: Another Story is pretty neat. Super Robot Wars is a classic. Legend of the Super Saiyan hasn't aged well, but it's fun for what it is. Keroro RPG: The Knight, the Warrior, and the Legendary Pirate is legitimately great. I've also heard good things about the Fairy Tail PSP games.
Oh shit I forgot the best one of all, Astro Boy Omea Factor! That game is awesome. A beat'em'up with a surprisingly engaging story that made me teary eyed near the end. It captured what made Astro Boy great wonderfully while also being a love letter to Tezuka's works.
You forgot to mention U. N. Squadron on Super NES which is based on the manga and the OAV Area 88 which was offered in VHS at the time at Manga Vidéo which is an anime on an airplane pilot who wants to be part of elite Area 88 where we will follow his progress in the air base elsewhere even during the VHS introduction of the Super NES we were talking about this game inovator.
@@FullmetalSonic260 if you're a really big fan and just want extra content. The second one is significantly better in comparison in writing and gameplay Like bringing a 4 up to a solid 6.5
WHY ARE YOU DOING THE SLIDING ATTACK AND NOT FOLLOWING UP WITH THE JUMPING SLASH THAT YOU YOURSELF SAY IS OP. IT TURNS SMALL FRY INTO A CAKEWALK. Okay I got that out of my system. I think you suggesting or accusing anyone of liking SotB is purely out of nostalgia is genuinely garbage. Invalidating opinions without even considering very real possibilities as to why people might like a game is a shitty thing to do. I'm not gonna say SotB is a perfect game by any stretch, but it most certainly has more than enough going for it for people to like it, but I'm not gonna hold it against anyone for disliking it either. It has some pretty glaring flaws and to not recognize those would be kinda silly, but it's also not really fair to discredit it's merits and those who like it for them. On top of all that, the gameplay you showcased doesn't do your argument or the game itself justice and is, to be perfectly frank, shit. It's very disappointing to see someone rip on a game and not even utilize it's gameplay to even a fraction of its fullest potential, it just tells people you're incompetent or not even really trying and grossly undersells the game to people who don't know otherwise, which is bad when it comes to reviewing or criticizing video games as a whole.
Christ man.....relax. Take a deep breath. Breathe in....and out. Okay, were good? But seriously though, he wasn't "invaliding" anyone's opinions. He just making some light jabs (via a joke) about the game. People can have other opinions as well, just saying. I had the game when I was younger and I thought the game was garbage and playing it recently didn't change my mind. You clearly have a nostalgia for the game and still really enjoy it, which is completely fine and more power to you, but next time I'd suggest learning to have a bit more of an open mind and understand people aren't going to like the same things as you.
halfdarkshadow I don't have nostalgia for the game. Hell I didn't even get into Berserk or even have a Dreamcast until last year. I genuinely like SotB for what it is and what it DID do right, but am clearly aware of everything it does wrong, some of which he does touch upon and I even agree with him. The biggest problem here is that aside from how he prefaced the argunent with "If you like this game I hope it's because of nostalgia...," he does a poor job at really showcasing the hows and whys and ends up sorta looking like a boob flailing his arms about, which I already mentioned is just grossly underselling the game and making it look worse than it really isn't. And if any part of it was a joke, it was poorly told (I got the GOD HAND joke obv, everyone does). Also if I seemed kinda out of hand, I'm sorry. I wasn't really trying to being hot-blooded, pissed off, or anything, just annoyed and disappointed. He can do better than that. Any critic can.
The Berserk game is quite fun in my opinnion, it is outdated yes, but for being a hack and slash game which came before devil.may cry or onimusha i think it did a good job with what they tried. The gameplay is ok-ish and the localization iffy as heck but the story, music and atmosphere the game introduces are perfectly fit for a berserk game. Balzac's story (or however u write his name) mimics guts experience with casca,showing what some people will go through in order to help that person they love the most. The music is fantastic, from remixes like Zodd II and Forces II to new and outstanding songs like Indra , it sounds like the 1997 anime ost😁. I recommend the game, even if all just for its story! Ps: great video, keep them coming
in narrow spaces, you just jump and downwards vertical slash, or hold an attack button and let go the attack button and swing your sword around Guts to clear surrounding enemies, which also works in tight spaces.
I’ve played both of those berserk games, they really aren’t half bad for fans of berserk. Sword of the berserk is kinda fun. I enjoyed it not gonna lie.
the combination of ps2 and free to play online game is triggering a lot of memories of playing toontown as a little kid. It was only the previous decade but thinking about stuff like that makes the 2000s feel like forever ago... lol
It was actually a pretty solid game, after the initial tutorial dump. Had issues, to be sure, but it was a first go at the systems. The sequel really hit the stride
Yuke’s can make a good game when they’re allowed to, their votoms ps2 game is easily one of the best mech games out there. Also “Did gurren lagann rip off astro boy” A lot of things did tbf
Good Anime Game - Sakura Wars: So Long My Love (if you don't mind the visual novel stuff) Bad Anime Game - Lupin the 3rd: Treasure of the Socerer King (plays a lot like those FMA games) Good Anime Game - Blood Will Tell (Not really anime stylized, but based on a Tezuka Osamu manga. Nostalgia tells me it was fun, killing demons with sword arms.) Bad Anime Game - Vampire Hunter D (I seem to remember clunky controls and a lot of bad Resident Evil backtracking)
As for Berserk... there was a sequel to that game in the PS2 which is a 100x better in terms of gameplay, really fun. The whole Casca thing you mentioned, yeah she actually was ok if Guts touched her shoulder or hugged her after the Conviction arc... then some things happened and is now scared of him.
Crimson Elixir is way better than Broken Angel. It's still an original story, but I feel it was way more interesting, and the gameplay was handled better.
Definitely was. It's definitely one of the times where a game really hit its stride. The first one was good, but the second one really hit things on the head
I actually liked the PS2 Astro Boy game as a kid. Granted the game had really bullshit AI during boss fights, but the graphics were quite decent and the game had some interesting cameos of other Ozamu characters. The music was also nice as well.
I'm with you. Its by no means a great game, but Austin's snark level is off the charts in this video. At absolute worst the game can be a bit mediocre; but its not hard at all.
It's annoying to watch your channel man. I like almost all of your titles and your content but I consistently skip around your videos or quit watching them because of your delivery. Maybe work on your editing to get to your point more directly and stop cutting to videos of yourself and your room. I would actually watch your videos and subscribe if you focused your visual content more on the games. Or if you displayed a stronger personality in front of the camera. Hopefully helpful criticism
I remember how my buddy told me back how they made a third FMA for PS2 for japan only and was actually good compared to the previous two. Always has me asking when it comes to the piles of good video games we never get, "Why you do this to us, Japan?"
11:56 wtf? you don't need to push all those buttons to charge ki, nor play with the analogue sticks. Just press hold the circle button. The fki fireball only shoots when you tap it. The game was very fun, of course it was a bit behind it's time, but you just didn't get good at it, like most game youtubers that just hover over the games and if they don't master it in seconds complains about difficulty. You CAN connect combos doing hitting techniques even combining with some ki blasts, you CAN hit Goten and Trunks just duck punching and kicking and even with flying kicks and punches. You just didn't get good at it.
I remember borrowing that Astro Boy game from the library a lot as a kid, just to play around with the flying. I remember literally nothing else about it, but that might be because I was a kid and couldn't understand English yet, so advancing the game? Ha, no.
The second FMA PS2 game feels a LOT better to play, they polished the combat and loosely follow the plot to the series with a few interesting concepts and new ideas Never played the third game for obvious reasons but I'm genuinely happy they improved as they made its sequel
Honestly it wouldn't surprise me in Ultimate Battle 22's case that Tose was burned out given they had mostly been working on Dragon Ball since 1986 with Shen Long No Nazo, final bout was their last game which released in 1997. That's roughly 14 games within the span of 11 years.
Berserk on dreamcast is amazing and turned me onto the series ever since I played it and it had a unique special written story not included in the manga and not even the newer ps2 and ps4 berserk games had that (even tho they were overall alot better)
I enjoyed guts rage when I first got it back in the day. I tried replaying it a few years ago and couldn't bring myself to play past the second level. It was good once, but it hasn't aged very well.
12:59 you’re damn right Tezuka’s work is under appreciated in the West. Astro Boy is EXTREMELY influential but it gets no attention, respect or love. Funny that you’re talking about the game based on the 2003 anime yet when a bunch of the footage shown is from the 1980 anime.
Great video! Still a pretty big fan of Sword of the Berserk(I don't know who hurt me) but I'm not one of the disliked haha. Its weird because one of the boss monsters in Dragon Quest 4 is also called Balzac.
Sword of the Berzerk its very bad yes but compared to all the other ones that are localized its the "best" Berzerk game you can get, yes the voice acting is atrocious, the gameplay its so fucking bad that you have to fight yourself to not rage quit every 5 mins or less, but i dunno it has certain charm to it, its a guilty pleasure for me since there is no Guts mods for Dark Souls (i dunno if i missed them or nobody never did a real Guts mod for that game) because that could be the real deal, at least in gameplay and visceral action i know Dark Souls isnt the way to a perfect Berzerk game, goddamn just give Platinium the rights to make a fucking berzerk game already dude! no this Omega Force/Tecmo Koei bullcrap.
I thought the joke with God's Hand was that Austin thinks it's good and is ironically quoting IGN when saying it's bad, but I'm honestly not sure. I don't even know what God's Hand is about. lol And it's based on the 3D movie and not the anime, but the Astro Boy movie game is really bad too. I only played a bit of the beginning, though.
Balzac was a famous french writer with a name that sounds funny to english speakers, much like Dumas.
Not just a famous writer, he is one of the most celebrated playwrights of all time. I though Père Goriot is a required reading pretty much everywhere, no?
Still sounds like Ball sack :V
I suppose it's unovoidable to native english speakers, the same way Uranus makes people laugh for some reason.
It's one on those "if you're 12, you laugh about it, if you're older you pretend to not wanna laugh" things.
Balzac is as great and relevant as Dickens.
Literature really is mature...
Ironic that Elsword is sponsoring you on a video like this
takes one bad anime game to sponsor content about other bad anime games
@@TheEcoolarg Its not that bad.
@@Kairos_Akuma It is.
@@Kairos_Akuma It is
Yoooo fuck off dude Elsword was the shit
"lets take a break from all the garbage to talk about.. garbage."
Astro Boy: Omega Factor on GBA is a whole lot better. Super overlooked!
MoonSpirit
Is it? I hear it recommended all the time in the retro community.
It's pretty good. But I feel it's really difficult. Like really difficult. As in if you can't react fast you're dead
MoonSpirit eyy moon spirit whatchu doin here ?
I own the game physically and have beat it three times already. I love it so much. Please emulate the game and try it out.
Zayaan Nashrid it's damn difficult, but there are smaller techniques you can use to avoid that entirely like jet boosting. Even though it's difficult I think that makes it even more fun to me. However screen crunch is always gonna suck a bag of nuts.
Actually the name Balzac probably comes from a famous french writer : Honoré de Balzac
Hehe "honor the ballsack"
"Have you seen my Balzac?"
"I'm looking at your Balzac right now."
If you're gonna play an Astro Boy game, play Omega Factor on the GBA. Legit one of the best games on the system, made by goddamn TREASURE (Sin & Punishment, Gunstar Heroes) and packed full with love for Tezuka's work. Singlehandedly got me into Black Jack
KinglyRed that game is AWESOME
That game was my life
Yes! ^^
Same, got me into a few Tezuka's works. Now if Astro Boy's 2003 anime was easier to find.
It's a classic. My only gripe with the game is the difficulty curve is kinda all over the place. The Artificial Sun is the bane of my existence.
Why would a company want you to promote their game on your "Bad Anime Video Games" episode? Isn't that opening themselves to criticism?
"C'MON GATSU!" my ulcer just fucking exploded
To be fair Sword Of The Berserk was probably pretty fun in 1999, it's an above average game for the time, it also had an interesting story that was written by Miura himself
The sequel on PS2 is a LOT better.
It was the best game i played back then.
Let us face it. Berserk is one of first if not THE first slasher which was popularized by Devil May Cry
It is totally part of the beat n up/hack n slash evolution
3.0 BAYBEE
Maybe one day please make a video about God Hand because, y'know, i and i guess a few other people like me don't have an idea of what you're talking about everytime you make a reference
It's coming.
Good, keep it up man, love your channel
I would love that. And get onto watching FMA Brotherhood. Netflix just added the entire thing to streaming to promote the terrible looking live action movie they got the rights to, so now is as good a time as ever.
You should've included "Lucky Star" for PS2.
Dude. You gotta watch brotherhood.
Yeh i find it way better than the filler filled nonsense of full metal alchemist, brotherhood sticks to the canon of the manga way better but thats really down to the fact the manga was still being written while full metal alchemist was being aired so it can't be faulted to much.
The "Edward you wanna play scene" still sticks with me today so sad.
eckogen I started watching it one week ago and I can say it was a sin for not doing so sooner.
I feel Brotherhood is too typical shonen-esque.
If you're talking about the live action film, no. That movie got so many things wrong that I don't even know where to start.
Can we all at least agree that Sword of the Berserk’s soundtrack is incredible? Hirasawa never disappoints.
I actually loved the whole game.
14:43 Holy crap that S-cry-ed clip! I swore I was like the only person who's ever seen that show.
I can't believe you didn't even mention the scene with Casca temporarily getting her memories back considering what's currently happening in the manga.
+Griffin1171 I haven't kept up as well as I would have liked
Austin Eruption Even so, I feel that ending bears mentioning because it's easily the best moment in the game and really shows Miura's involvement.
Especially after she got freakin violated by Griffith
I think FMA: The Broken Angel, falls into that category of Early-mid 2000s anime games that are beat em ups but have RPG elements. Like Naruto Uzumaki chronicles 2
It was actually pretty good, as far as the game goes. The intro was... well, an intro. Once you get going, it's pretty fun
You know, I’m not a big Sonic Team fan or anything, but it seems like, to me at least, that all of their most infamous games could have been something. They all just released way to early.

like, how can you talk about bad games, and let yourself be sponsored by one???
Yeah, I know this was a while back, but you still made the mistake XD
I’m sorry but did Android 16 just fucking SPIT A LASER OUT OF HIS MOUTH!?!?
WOOOW A ELSWORD ADVERTISEMENT *claps*
MerChanel Gaming Putting in the middle of Bad Anime Games isn't a great idea
MerChanel Gaming Dungeon Fighter is better anyway.
Well the game is slowly dying, they really need the money
wagnersalom Elsword or Dungon Fighter? Dfo has a small community but they're pretty active so I wouldn't say it's dying. Haven't played Elsword in years so idk about it.
Tiger Festivals as a 8 years els player, dfo.
Trust me. Not worth it. Noy even in the jp server.
Gut's Rage is not bad at all! It's sometimes frustrating, but it's still worth to play nowadays!
Do Jens Julio
Osamu Tezuka is highly appreciated in the west. People love Lion King.
Extremely underrated comment!
I actually liked that full metal alchemist game years ago, sure hasn't aged well though..
WHAT THE FUCK, AUSTIN!?
I literally just began watching FMA Brotherhood a few hours ago, you just uploaded a video and the first game you talk about is a FMA game!? Are you spying on me!?
Funny that you mention Avatar, cause that will most likely be the next thing I watch :D
sry
what are the odds
I just began watching Brotherhood yesterday o_o
Finally going to get through one of these series front to back, no matter how long it takes.
I am
When make best anime games my dear Austin ?

Guys you didn t mention Cory in the House.
Gotta say, seeing you trash the FMA game hurts a little. It's as mediocre as an anime game comes but I still like it. Second one was a bit better too.
Would you recommend them to an FMA fan like me, who can enjoy trash games like Sonic 06? lol
FullmetalSonic260 its obviously better than sonic 06 ( i also like that game )
FullmetalSonic260
I enjoyed it for what it was. It was far from great but had a charm to it.
@@FullmetalSonic260 if you're a really big fan and just want extra content. The second one is significantly better in comparison in writing and gameplay

Lucca theme from FFx during Guts section!!!! Yes!!! Thank you Austin
Jojo's Bizzare Adventure for the PS2 is pretty awful
Which one? The Vento Aureo game? Or the Phantom Blood game?
Phantom blood or vento aureo?
Agreed Fraudulence Phantom Blood. Haven't seen the other one b/c spoilers
I enjoyed Eyes Of Heaven for what it was but it had much more potential. Personally, I hope they remake the PS2 vento aureo game.
best part of EoH is the father-son muda muda muda muda
I really liked FMA on PS2 though. :(
I’ll admit it’s super repetitive though.
It's a PS2 game, to be fair. Most of them weren't spectacular in the field of not being repetitive
Im sorry, but did you hit Pinoko-chan in that Astro Boy game? HOW FUCKING DARE YOU!
I’ve played both of those berserk games, they really aren’t half bad for fans of berserk. Sword of the berserk is kinda fun. I enjoyed it not gonna lie.
Balzac is the last name of a very notable French writer :^)
the combination of ps2 and free to play online game is triggering a lot of memories of playing toontown as a little kid. It was only the previous decade but thinking about stuff like that makes the 2000s feel like forever ago... lol
Dude, I might be high but that samurai champloo game looks fucking sick
Oh shit! We're talking about Devilman!?
*Plays Devilman no Uta*
Berserk is all about that rage meter. It basically becomes the game you wish you were playing for like thirty seconds every fistfull of minutes.
OMAE WA MOU SHINDERU
Shut
*Face Explodes*
Nujabes died? Aw man, "Shiki No Uta" is like my alltime favorite anime song. I'm legit sad now.
No lie. I thought that fma game was a fever dream from my childhood. Glad to know I wasn't insane.
It was actually a pretty solid game, after the initial tutorial dump. Had issues, to be sure, but it was a first go at the systems.
The sequel really hit the stride
Off topic but something I've noticed in a lot of your videos is you really love the luca city theme from final fantasy x.
Berserk is a great dreamcast classic don't care what you say! Get good
Last time I played Elsword was......4 years ago?
Yuke’s can make a good game when they’re allowed to, their votoms ps2 game is easily one of the best mech games out there.
Also
“Did gurren lagann rip off astro boy”
A lot of things did tbf
It's kinda like saying that something ripped off Star Wars/Trek, or King Arthur
Vampire hunter D is actually pretty dope.
My dude is wearing such a rad shirt. Hell yeah!
Good Anime Game - Sakura Wars: So Long My Love (if you don't mind the visual novel stuff)
Bad Anime Game - Lupin the 3rd: Treasure of the Socerer King (plays a lot like those FMA games)
Good Anime Game - Blood Will Tell (Not really anime stylized, but based on a Tezuka Osamu manga. Nostalgia tells me it was fun, killing demons with sword arms.)
Bad Anime Game - Vampire Hunter D (I seem to remember clunky controls and a lot of bad Resident Evil backtracking)
I thought fma on ps2 was kinda lit
Alchemy for Ed would be as easy as pressing circle though, he’s pretty OP in both series. That’s why he’s the youngest state alchemist ever
As for Berserk... there was a sequel to that game in the PS2 which is a 100x better in terms of gameplay, really fun.
The whole Casca thing you mentioned, yeah she actually was ok if Guts touched her shoulder or hugged her after the Conviction arc... then some things happened and is now scared of him.
Legacy of goku 1 for the gba is trash
The only good Berserk game was Berserk Millennium Empire Arc: Chapter of the Holy Demon War. AND IT WAS NEVER LOCALIZED!
I played it on japanese with no problems. There's no obtuse objectives and menus are simple enough, so no need to be able to read moon runes
what about dark souls? Kappa
Martin Papos And that opening was awesome!
@@shershahad2152 i mean let's be honest, dark souls 3 is basically berserk.
The name Balzac doesn't translate well (I got a giggle back in my baby dreamcast days) but it's just a French surname.
WATCH. BROTHERHOOD. RIGHT. NOW. PLEASE.
YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.
I CANNOT AND WILL NOT REST UNTIL YOU DO.
IT IS AND WILL ALWAYS BE.
FANTASTIC!
"Free to play stuff I grew up with back in the day..."
*aging intensifies*
Crimson Elixir is way better than Broken Angel. It's still an original story, but I feel it was way more interesting, and the gameplay was handled better.
KinnikuDash yes, if this game appear in a bad anime games its bullshit
Definitely was. It's definitely one of the times where a game really hit its stride. The first one was good, but the second one really hit things on the head
I actually liked the PS2 Astro Boy game as a kid. Granted the game had really bullshit AI during boss fights, but the graphics were quite decent and the game had some interesting cameos of other Ozamu characters. The music was also nice as well.
I'm with you. Its by no means a great game, but Austin's snark level is off the charts in this video. At absolute worst the game can be a bit mediocre; but its not hard at all.
Sidetracked sounds like my kind of game
I think the FMA PS2 game is pretty decent. The combat is was fun for a while. And its FMA. The mere idea of playing a game in this world is enough.
for dragonball z ultimate battle 22 to have 27 characters is pretty impressive LOL
It's annoying to watch your channel man. I like almost all of your titles and your content but I consistently skip around your videos or quit watching them because of your delivery. Maybe work on your editing to get to your point more directly and stop cutting to videos of yourself and your room. I would actually watch your videos and subscribe if you focused your visual content more on the games. Or if you displayed a stronger personality in front of the camera. Hopefully helpful criticism
I can't believe a bad anime MMO on it's deathbed is sponsoring a video about bad anime games.
Fucking meta.
Great video thank you i always look forward to your new videos :)
Check out the Ghost in the Shell games for PS2 and PSP. not horrible, but total chores to play.
I had Broken Angel, but never finished it, and I loved Inuyasha: Secret Of The Cursed Mask, and it's hard to find a cheap copy nowadays.
"Better then god hand"
Octopimp is gonna stab somebody.
Hehe, "God Hand".
Did you know that there was an Astro Boy Gameboy game that is the most awesome Astro game I ever played? Yeah look it up. It's super fun.
There are a few Sailor Moon fighting games.
Ha he's talking about Elsword while the Soulworker beta just came out. Love you Elsword, but a better Mmojrp finally got localized
I remember how my buddy told me back how they made a third FMA for PS2 for japan only and was actually good compared to the previous two. Always has me asking when it comes to the piles of good video games we never get, "Why you do this to us, Japan?"
11:56 wtf? you don't need to push all those buttons to charge ki, nor play with the analogue sticks. Just press hold the circle button. The fki fireball only shoots when you tap it.
The game was very fun, of course it was a bit behind it's time, but you just didn't get good at it, like most game youtubers that just hover over the games and if they don't master it in seconds complains about difficulty. You CAN connect combos doing hitting techniques even combining with some ki blasts, you CAN hit Goten and Trunks just duck punching and kicking and even with flying kicks and punches. You just didn't get good at it.
the charging ki pissed me off but as far as the game itself it sucked back then and it'll suck forever
It's clunky and awful. Stop.
@@drekiskrek5008 doesn't change the fact he was wrong about how to charge
I had Crimson Elixir back when my Ps2 was still alive, remember it actually being a good game! Mostly, I think, memory tends to fail me.
Cant sugar coat it.. Elsword been around long enough to establish itself as pay to win...
You don't watch Berserk
*You must Read it for understanding it*
I remember borrowing that Astro Boy game from the library a lot as a kid, just to play around with the flying. I remember literally nothing else about it, but that might be because I was a kid and couldn't understand English yet, so advancing the game? Ha, no.
Yuke's made the best Smackdown/SvR games, shut up.
Evil zone and virtual on.
the sprite of dragon ball ultimate 22 doesn't look that bad,
I want to play that Berserk game
Rodrigo Sánchez Villaseñor its very playable. It can be a little cut scene heavy but its cheap. get it!
Kevin Conley great, I'll look for it
Its a lot better than Explosion dude makes it out be. Its dated for sure; but its still fun.
I don't think that the FMA PS2 game was bad, its mediocre at worst.
I think Austin just likes to play up the Snark factor.
You know, Astro Boy for the PS2 could've resolved its camera problems if it just copied Zone of the Enders's system.
Astroboy on GBA is actually an amazing game. You gotta check it out!
The second FMA PS2 game feels a LOT better to play, they polished the combat and loosely follow the plot to the series with a few interesting concepts and new ideas
Never played the third game for obvious reasons but I'm genuinely happy they improved as they made its sequel
I hare to be that guy but its MAJOR Armstrong
Honestly it wouldn't surprise me in Ultimate Battle 22's case that Tose was burned out given they had mostly been working on Dragon Ball since 1986 with Shen Long No Nazo, final bout was their last game which released in 1997. That's roughly 14 games within the span of 11 years.
Sponsored by a bad anime game
Berserk on dreamcast is amazing and turned me onto the series ever since I played it and it had a unique special written story not included in the manga and not even the newer ps2 and ps4 berserk games had that (even tho they were overall alot better)
Ultimate battle 22 looks like a bootleg made in a shut third world country lmao it looks so unbelievably bad
😂
Like it was secretly made in the hermit kingdom by a developer deriving his electricity from a bicycle with a generator attached to it 😅😅
I enjoyed guts rage when I first got it back in the day. I tried replaying it a few years ago and couldn't bring myself to play past the second level. It was good once, but it hasn't aged very well.
12:59 you’re damn right Tezuka’s work is under appreciated in the West. Astro Boy is EXTREMELY influential but it gets no attention, respect or love. Funny that you’re talking about the game based on the 2003 anime yet when a bunch of the footage shown is from the 1980 anime.
Still a better sequel than Guardian of the Galaxy Vol. 2
Great video! Still a pretty big fan of Sword of the Berserk(I don't know who hurt me) but I'm not one of the disliked haha. Its weird because one of the boss monsters in Dragon Quest 4 is also called Balzac.
12:10 I may not remember it well but I think you can also charge ki just holding only the circle. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Sword of the Berzerk its very bad yes but compared to all the other ones that are localized its the "best" Berzerk game you can get, yes the voice acting is atrocious, the gameplay its so fucking bad that you have to fight yourself to not rage quit every 5 mins or less, but i dunno it has certain charm to it, its a guilty pleasure for me since there is no Guts mods for Dark Souls (i dunno if i missed them or nobody never did a real Guts mod for that game) because that could be the real deal, at least in gameplay and visceral action i know Dark Souls isnt the way to a perfect Berzerk game, goddamn just give Platinium the rights to make a fucking berzerk game already dude! no this Omega Force/Tecmo Koei bullcrap.
Astro boy on gameboy advance is cool
I thought the joke with God's Hand was that Austin thinks it's good and is ironically quoting IGN when saying it's bad, but I'm honestly not sure. I don't even know what God's Hand is about. lol
And it's based on the 3D movie and not the anime, but the Astro Boy movie game is really bad too. I only played a bit of the beginning, though.
Where is the Ps2 version of berserk?
There is a pretty fun Astro Boy game for the GBA
