The wizard, while mixing potions with his magical gloves has caused a huge blast, turning him instantly to stone and dislodging the seven crystals that give the Kingdom its energy. Without the crystals, the castle and its world will fall apart and the wizard will be lost!
It's down to Glover, one of the magical gloves, to find the crystals, now disguised as rubber balls and return them safely to the castle. Guide Glover and the balls through seven magical worlds full of puzzles and hidden surprises. Watch out! The evil glove is lurking in the shadows, and he'll stop at nothing to foil Glover's attempts at restoring peace.

#Glover #N64 #NoGloveNoLove #PS1 #GloverRules - เกม
I am kind of surprised when he said that people love to hate on Glover. I have never heard anyone say overly negative about it. Most people I have heard talk about seem to say that, while not the best, Glover is a pretty enjoyable game. It is interesting how people seem to live in different spheres.
I loved glover, and I thought nobody knew about this game except me lol (amongst people I knew)
same
Right, even all the other TH-cam personalities I watch like NitroRad and AntDude thought it was at least decent. It’s also on many underrated N64 games lists.
@@bbworks159 Caddicarus reviewed the PS1 version, and he said it wasn't all that bad. Maybe it's just Jirard feeling frustrated and disappointed after he tried to complete the game
Same. Worst I heard is it had problems but no one other than Jirard outright calls it a bad game, usually saying its fine for what it is.
The noise that Glover makes when the ball breaks still haunts my nightmares all these years later
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"
*fart noise as the ball spits out of a portal*
@Cassidy I still think about that evil laugh to this day and remember how unnerving it is lol
I remember this game going from 'kinda frustrating' to genuinely 'pretty fun' the moment I turned off the setting that reversed your controls when you stood on top of the ball. That one change alone made ALL THE DIFFERENCE for me, turning Glover from an exercise in frustration to a moderately enjoyable experience.
If Jirard never made that change in the settings then it's no wonder the controls frustrated him.
The right man in the wrong place can make ALL THE DIFFERENCE in the world...
... you can TURN THAT OFF!?!?
Yeah, I wondered what he was talking about. I always played it with non-reversed controls. Reversed controls are horrible for gaming. You can do reversed X axis for flying, but that's about it.
They're worse than tank controls.
I guess I'm the only one that likes the reverse controls when on the ball I always thought it was cool cause your actually going backwards so it made sense
I think the controls inverting are why I never had a problem with tank controls or cameras just kinda trained my brain to switch on the fly.
I love Glover and Quest 64, I don't care what people say about it. XD They're hidden gems in my eyes~!
Yea, those were my childhood games. I loved them both on the n64
"No one cares about beating your Glover time"
Immediately searches for Glover speedruns
Oh you have no idea. Go watch the "all stages" tool assisted speedrun. This game gets insane.
Yeah I figure it’s like goldeneye speed runs where it makes it easy to use in-game times for leaderboards
My sister and I spent countless hours with this as kids. We never got very far, but we absolutely loved it for some reason 😂
I can recall a number of not-so-great games that entertained me as a child.
Can say the same for quest 64
What do you mean, everyone talked about how bad this game is? Almost everyone I've seen says it's okay to great. Glover is honestly a solid 7/10.
Glover being a bad game is sort of a meme. It's certainly not GREAT, but for the era it was fine.
Right. If you had spent the last 2 years playing only N64 games then terrible camera controls and awkward platforming were nothing new. That was just how games were at the time.
it was one of the best 20th century games.
had real fun, but frankenstein was real hard, never went past him until i found a bug to go to the last level
but i got stuck again on the space robot boss again, not sure if i finished the game lol
won’t do it ever tho
Glover is an all time favorite of mine from childhood. I'm probably the only person that had fully hoped that he was gonna be a wildcard add into Smash. Seems like a prime example of me being a better gamer as a kid, idk if I could play through this now. Maybe I'll pick up the PC port and give it a run anyways. Appreciate the nostalgia trip!
I wouldn't hate Glover in Smash! The one thing that Ultimate was missing was a new super obscure retro character.
Plot twist, master hand is glover
@@LakotaNativedoll I actually thought that Master Hand was Glover in the N64 smash bros as a kid lol
Smash already has disembodied hand lol
Imagine master hand high fiving Glover, or master hand is dribbling a ball and Glover comes and steals it back!
Honestly it sounds like if this game was to be remade today it COULD be absolutely amazing, and unique.
I unironically LOVED this game, even though I was never able to beat it. You're TOTALLY right thought about the controls and especially the camera! X( I hated that!
SOOOOOO MANY people love this game it’s a blast!
Yeah I wasn't aware there was hate for Glover, I always loved it when I was a kid.
I feel the same way. When this game was announced. I wanted for Xmas. Spent my whole Xmas break playing it
Wait, Roar? Never thought I'll find you here! Always loved your Calli rap breakdowns. Stay cool, man!
@@samakechijowo lol hey thanks dude! 😄 👋🏻
I loved this game! The unique gimmick, all the N64 platformer tropes, all the fun to be had with the cheat codes and the memorable soundtrack made for one of the most awesome budget games in the N64 era. Wish more positives could have been said about this game on this video, because there definitively are.
Glover truely is a game carried on its charm alone.
I am so so glad that glover was released again. I hope the team can develop that long lost sequel that's been discovered lately.
Missed potential is the keyword here. There is a lot about this game I enjoy, but the execution of the mechanics really tests my patience. I keep coming back to it, but I can only handle it in small doses. Also, of course 4 fingers! Not only because it's a cartoon standard, but also because we don't need to see Glover with a wang.
LMFAO!!!
I remember playing this with my best friend back in the day. Usually after Battle Tanks or the army man game. It was weird and that's all we cared about. I can still recall doing Glover's voice back and forth. "SHAZAM!"
More fond of the memories than the game.
Great to hear people talking about this game! I played it 10 years after release because I saw it at a thrift store and remember hearing about it from a gaming magazine, back in the day.
To be fair, most N64 games controlled like a greased cannonball. A lot of people our age are inundated with nostalgia when it comes to the old grey box but those controllers were absolute trash when it came to finesse movements.
Even blockbuster games like Banjo-Kazooie suffered from poor cameras and clunky movement just because the controller was that bad.
That's why I'll always stand by the statement that the N64 had good/amazing games, but was a horrible console.
@@kickassia2197 I agree, this really sums in up. The decision to use the inferior cartridge format in the age of high (for the time) storage space CD-rom and a controller that was like juggling a handful of bananas. Successful despite its flaws, but definitely flawed.
@@kickassia2197 It was also a very specific console. I mean, up until Paper Mario, it had absolutely no good RPGs, and even then, if you wanted to play RPGs, what were you doing not having a PlayStation?
18:54 Dude what are you talking about you have it exactly the opposite way, Glover is often brought up semi-fondly with this video being the thing that is uncharacteristically negative (no hate btw, these really obscure games are a real love it or hate it deal).
Yeah this is my first time seeing someone dislike glover, granted I haven’t really looked far
Nah I have seen a lot of hate irl for Glover. I recall bringing it in a pile of other games and my friend was like "how dare you bring this in my house."
Yeah I've really never heard anyone say it was bad. Just like "hey this game is kinda cool and unique but not the best game" is the sentiment I usually hear.
I do believe Jirard is the first G-Fuel sponsor person I know who has actively explained what the hell G-Fuel even is. Angry Joe has been sponsored by them many times, and I still had no idea what it actually was. Even Google wasn't much help. But here we have Jirard, within the first 20 seconds, loud and clear, explaining "it's a supplement that you mix in with your drink". Thank you, that's all I wanted to know! Did Joe just assume that everyone already knew that? I mean I could probably look at the packaging and put 2 and 2 together, but even then, selling a product means that YOU are responsible for 110% clearly communicating what EXACTLY it is you sell, even including "common sense" details so that even dimwits like me understand what you are selling.
For the record, G-Fuel also has pre-mixed energy drinks similar to Rockstar, Monster, Bang, etc. I believe they are all sugar-free, but there might well be flavors I don't know about.
@@animeartist888 Cool! Thanks for the heads up.
The only other person that’s sponsored by it and tells you what it is is Kripparian of hearthstone fame
Well it's basically energy drinks without the fluids that you add yourself. (Normally water)
And yeah I guess it's kinda considered common knowledge by this point, atleast in the right circles.
Although I'm pretty sure that you'll get a fair chance on being clued in on what it is long before you get the package in your hands, I haven't been on the site but I'm assuming that it's easy to find.
I always loved the charming look of glover. I'm glad the completionist played it so I can know that I dodged a bullet as a kid.
I played Glover a lot as a kid because it was the game that came bundled with my N64. I loved the novel game mechanics that required you to transform or even abandon the ball to solve puzzles, but I never did finish the game and was convinced one couldn't without cheat codes. I also remember the controls being a hot mess, but this game still holds a strange place in my heart.
This is super exciting to see this oddity get the Completionist treatment, shortly after putting together a fan tribute album to the OST. It's such a middling kind of game for its time
I remember looking at this at Sears when this game came out, and even the guy behind the counter said, “no man, try Mario instead.”
(Cheery music, idyllic meadows and green rolling hills, butterflies...)
18:21
Death Spell
Me: "I beg your pardon?!?"
I played Glover as a kid. I recall really enjoying it
I understand the disappointment with this game, but I honestly would give it a *Look at it* or a *Play it*. This game was fun for me growing up even with learning the mechanics taking me a while to learn. I don't see it as a great game, but I don't think it's bad.
You really don't have to answer this, but isn't "Look at it" worse than a "Donate it"? I never understood that ranking logic
Yo Glover!!!! I remember playing it a ton when I was young. Might need to go find it and play it again. I can still hear the evil glove's laugh.
I remember absolutely loving this game as a kid. I didn’t own a copy, so whenever I was over at my cousins house I wanted to play it. Recently I revisited, and I’m not too sure what I liked about it. Excited to see this video on it!
I gotta hand it to the developers. They took something simple like a glove and made a decent game around it
th-cam.com/video/SPLl7UgvuLE/w-d-xo.html
Finally it's here .
"Hand it".
HA
Iv been waiting for this one for years
This was 1 of my favorite games growing up
I ALSO expected his utter hate for it
Just started the video, but am surprised to hear you don't think Glover is a hidden gem! Maybe I'm remembering it with nostalgia goggles, but my Dad and I loved that game when I was young!
When I was a kid, I got a hand me down N64 and it had Glover. I LOVED this game as a kid
Say what you will about this game, but the Atlantis level soundtracks are pretty good. N64 versions are longer while the PlayStation ones tend to have a higher bitrate. I prefer the n64 ones. There’s some nice remixes of them too
So anyways, play Glover. It's super worth it, and despite some clunky controls it's hilarious all the way through XD
Just don't play the Steam version, Piko is notorious for screwing with games' coding, intentionally, and really don't care about video game preservation all that much
I remember just goofing off in the overworld and tossing the ball around.
Thanks for this.
I remember seeing Master Hand's game advertised on other boxes.
Jirard, my dude, we love you. Sometimes being critically honest, even if it causes moment of discomfort, is the best way to be positive. Mistakes and bad design needs to be called out for what they are. That is the path to progress.
Welcome to my world of pain. When I recorded it 100% like 4 or 5 years back my save file corrupted 2 times so i said screw it and did the whole game in one go. It was painful
I absolutely loved this game as a kid! I never beat it, but I still enjoyed playing it! Some of my favorite memories include playing this game on the weekend or during breaks from school, and hearing my parents watching the VHS of Titanic in the other room! 🤣 Peak 90s!
I can understand why Jirard had a hard time with the game. At least he tried to give it a fair shot.
Also, if he dislikes the N64 version, it’s very good that he didn’t play the PS1 version…
Caddicarus played the PS1 version, and he said it wasn't all that bad on its own. Regardless, everyone has different experiences with this game
@@sonicyuuki2292 I know. I just mean that, if Jirard hates the N64 version, the PS1 version would likely be worse in his eyes.
@@angel-of-light-kelly1355 Can't argue with that
The ps version really deserves the donate it rate
I’m honestly surprised you mention how much people say it’s bad. Your video is the first time I’ve ever come across anybody saying anything negative about this game. Personally, it was one of my top ten favorite N64 games and I’ve been yearning for somebody to make a spiritual successor to it.
I have to say I'm surprised you didn't like this game. I honestly feel it's a real hidden gem on the N64.
So much charm and character. I have a few complaints, the bonus missions some of them are way too difficult but I still managed to complaint them.
The frankenstein monster boss was just a pain but overall a fun wee game.
Whoa no one I knew growing up played this but I rented it from Hollywood video back in the way back! Thank you for the nostalgia
When I was playing at, like, 2 or 3 years old, Cross-Stitch's laugh always freaked me out.
I love Glover!! The controls are definitely archaic and awkward by today's standards, but I have beaten this plenty of times since I was a kid! I remember everyone who had a 64 owned this game :DD
I...I love this game. Nostalgia glasses be damned, it is a guilty pleasure for me.
I remember being a kid and playing Glover and loving it. However, I never got past the first world and spend most my time in the overworld area. I don't know if I would actually enjoying playing it as an adult, but nostalgia has me wanting to pick up the new release. I love the music and have fun memories of it but I do agree it is far from a great game.
I loved this game growing up.
The cheat codes were pretty wacky and added a little something more.
It might not have aged too well, but I'll always have my fond memories with one of the first 3D games I've ever played.
I still remember that iconic evil laugh.
Love this game so much, glad to see you tackle it. I never beat it myself!
A blast from my past! This was one of the first video games I ever played (I grew up on an N64 and played “Goldeneye 007”, “Glover”, “Pokémon Stadium one” and “Pokémon Snap” I can’t remember which among them was my first).
Glover will always hold a special place in my heart, no matter how bad it was.
i spent the entire video listening to Jirard complaining but all i could think of was THIS GAME LOOKS SO FUN
videogames you really have to try for yourself
I thought this was a thing in the past after his sonic 06 recompletion review but Im glad he throwed away the cringey rants
I had to stay in a hospital when I was just old enough to start remembering things. I know now that there was an n64 in the room and the game I was playing was Glover, but before I figured it out, all I remembered was that hellscape of a hub world
I loved glover back in the day on 64 and still do
Gotta Love the Glove!!
I remember this game as a kid and it’s always a blast to see you do older games and hop to see more of them! I’m really hoping that Buck Bumble is somewhere on the list to complete in the near future.
YAAASSS! Thank you for showing this game some love. I loved this game when it first came out.
Dude I rented this game atleast 10 times. It’s a classic for me and I’m flabbergasted you completed it for a video!
Oh god, I'd kill for a Mischief Makers episode. One of my all time favorite games.
Nitro Rad: HEAVY BREATHING
You are legit the first person I've ever heard call this game bad
Imagine having a whole room dedicated for this game
Only some kind of person who loves DK Barrel Blast would have something like that
No probably just a virgin who own sonic ham would have one if those
I owned this game as a kid. We didn't have too many games on the N64, so I would beat this game over and over. I used to love it.
Dude I played this game and 100% it as a kid. I don't know why but my brothers and I loved the game. We used to try and beat each others scores.
Never played this game as a kid and after reading many of the comments below and watching this video, man am I glad I missed this.
Jirard, this intro never ceases to get me to start dancing, I love it
Please do more of this. This was GREAT!
This was such a fantastic game! It may not be the easiest at first, but it has so many clever mechanics. It's a journey, and an experience to beat this title for sure. I dont think this is a bad game personally, it's just misunderstood. I appreciate the art style, the music, sound effects, puzzles, and the overall story and mechanics are just genius, and have not been used again since. It IS a hard game but hard does not equal bad.
Current world record speedrun of thid game is 23 minutes and 26 seconds so I guess there is some folks out there who were all about that time trial challenge.
This was one of the first N64 games I've played. Still has a place in my gaming heart. Plus I've seen worse games, but to each is own:)
Wow! Glover! I loved playing this game on my school's laptop while i was fighting an alligator.
I still love that intro.
Glover doesn't even get a Completionist beard. Just a consolation moustache.
Honestly you're the only one I ever heard outright roast this game. Most other opinions I hear boil down to it being a flawed but serviceable game that happens to be everywhere
Lol. "G fuel is a great substitute for pop" while wearing a Pepsi shirt.
I loved Glover as a kid, it was hard as fuck but so interesting. It was also kinda scary as a kid. I've even played it again recently
Ahh. My absolute favorite platformer on the N64
Chameleon twist, silicon valley, iggy, and quest are all great.
Me and my cousins played Glover a lot actually... We kept challenging each other to actually beat ONE area, and I don't think we ever managed it before we got hooked on Super Smash Bros and the multiplayer in Conker's Bad Furday~ XD
So yeah. I have a weird perverse fondness for it but even I went 'Oh no he completed Glover?!' the moment I saw this vid title XDDD You're a brave good soul - thank you for finally revealing for me that the rest of the game exists. I always wondered. XD
I remember having this as a kid and I just never got too far into it. So when I saw this video I had to watch. Turns out there might have been a reason why child me never finished this game as a kid
It's really good that it's on steam for those who loved it as a kid. Most games will have someone who has deep nostalgia for it. So I am happy for them. I just wish some of the games from my childhood would be gotten on modern systems
Surprisingly I've heard good things about this game. One that liked the N64 version, and one that liked the Playstation version. It's weirdly one of the few games that I've seen the biggest variety of opinions on.
I remember enjoying this game as a kid. I know I never beat it, but I know it was my game of choice for a short period of time at least.
I remember always seeing/ hearing about this game never getting the chance to play it. Excited 😎
I remember renting this from my local video store, playing it for 30 minutes, begging my mother to be able to go back because my store, like others I imagine, had a trade-in if you were not happy with the rental by the end of the first day, the store had 3 and 5 day rental periods on video games. She relented and I went back and rented Super Mario 64 instead. I hadn't played it at that point although it had been out for over a year or so. I always felt I made the right choice.
This whole ass game was a fever dream, but man the hub world on the N64 was so creepy and i still love that
Definitely remember trying this at my friend's house and giving up QUICK. The movement drove me insane!!
Dude great intro!.. this came out at the tail end of the era where we convinced ourselves certain games were “ok”..
Im so glad that he's finally covering this game
My brothers and I loved Glover. We never owned it. We would rent it from the local Hollywood Video. However we were little and never got far.
As a nostalgic run we bought it as adults and beat it and it was so disappointing. When I told my brother completionist did a video he said "Yeah Glover is so nostalgic, but it's nostalgic for the blockbuster era where no one had time to realize how bad it was."
This game has some bangers on its soundtrack
Played this once at a barber shop when I was a kid. Later saw James from Nitrotad review it. Now this. Wonder where next I will see Glover xD
This game was a pretty solid platformer. Really liked it as a kid and kind of wanna go back to it.
Holy cow! Jirard mentioned Rocket Robot on Wheels! I have literally been begging for this game for a hot minute and it’s relieving to know he at least knows what it is! Please Jirard, be a real pal and complete it?
Frog in a cab? How dare you mess with the alliteration.
14:06 Oh no no! That my good sir is Two Fish and a Crab! Clearly you are not a good judge of a good game- Haha, I kid.
I loved Glover back then. No idea if I'd love it today. I'll pick it up as soon as I can. Was pretty hyped when I saw it appear on the Steam store a couple of days before release.
I had this game, I loved and hated it so much. I only had it because my parents would only let me get games from the 5 dollar bin. I got Bomberman Hero and Glover. I do still love Bomberman to this day.
i mean, you're not wrong about glover being a bad game. but i love it.
dorks. I'm convinced everyone I'm subscribed to are enormous, unflinching, lovable dorks.
Kinda love it.
