Main reason why Breakpoint was so hated upon release was because the game was entirely made as an rpg, considering how the previous game, Wildlands, was praised for giving the player full liberty to tackle the story whatever way you saw fit, regardless of strategy or difficulty. Being an rpg just made Breakpoint restrictive and linear, at least until they added Ghost mode, which is basically Wildlands 2 and makes the game highly better and more fun to play.
I'm guessing it released around the same time as Assassin's Creed Origins or Odyssey, right? I feels like Ubi saw adding RPG elements as a way to add monetization options.
There was also the whole 'it didn't work' thing, the 'copy pasted map' thing, the 'most enemies are robots' thing, the 'lying about it being a hardcore survival game pre-release' thing, the 'MTX in every nook and cranny' thing, the 'live service elements everywhere' (always online too) thing and who could forget the 'they literally put NFTs in the game' thing.
I personally liked daymare, the ammo management were a nice idea and its almost feels like the game itself changes with the playable character in the story and that jojo Easter egg is pleasant too, especially because I missed it. Too bad every enemy just becomes a bullet sponge on not even high difficulty.
It's also extremely, and I mean *extremely* unpolished. It has some of the ugliest animations of any game not made by Valve I've ever seen. If you married its core mechanics with the skill and attention to detail Resident Evil 5's combat had, it'd easily be the new king of survival/horror. Instead we get shit like Re4R.
Not only is Duke Nukem a pretty good game that suffers from "It doesn't do anything original" syndrome. Because it doesn't. But that Psycho head is actually part of a trio of easter eggs linked to an achievement. Find 3 helmets and you'll get the Bucket Head achievement, these three helmets are Master Chief's, the Psycho from borderlands and Isaac Clark's mask from Dead Space. Duke will comment on all 3.
The "But it was me, a wall" is a JoJo reference as well... which is a meme about a meme. "But it was me, DIO!" is one layer... and then "Is that a Jojo reference?" is ALSO a meme.
For anyone curious about what actually was the typo in Aliens: Colonial Marines, it was the misspelling of the word "tether" as "teather". The actual line is: "ClassRemapping=PecanGame.PecanSeqAct_AttachXenoToTether -> PecanGame.PecanSeqAct_AttachPawnToTeather" The first part of the code attaches the Alien to it's spawn zone. It does nothing else. The second part is supposed to attach and switch behaviour by assigning a new "tether", so that when the Alien encounters the player, it will try to flank, or disperse, seek elevated positions or attack from multiple sides. Due to the typo, that switch never happened. Whatever simplistic/one-dimensional behaviour the Alien spawned with, it kept. If the spawn behaviour was to patrol, it will just walk past you. If it was frontal assault, it will do a frontal assault. Many of them just had "hissing menacingly", aswell.
It's hilarious to me that that bug wasn't caught by ANYONE until 4 years after the game came out, despite being in a .ini file that can easily be viewed and edited with just Notepad. Like, was there just NO quality assurance AT ALL? Nobody proof-reading anything? Nobody wondered why the alien AI was doing NONE of its intended behaviors? Gearbox was a AAA studio even back then, and they couldn't fix such a simple error.
There also is a great Breaking Bad easter egg in Fallout 76, it has some dead skeletons and barrels that are dug into the ground filled with money, and also a truck with some barrels.
the easter egg saying "you were expecting an easter egg, but it was me, a wall" is in fact a reference to jojo's bizarre adventure, phantom blood. a famous sentence from Dio brando "you were expecting jojo, but it was me dio"
What makes the Spaceballs easter egg so funny is that the scene in Spaceballs us meant to be an Alien easter egg/parody. So i believe that's an EasterEggCeption.
The Godzilla easter egg reminded me about Godzilla Minus Zero, heard it puts alot of Hollywood movies to shame especially Marvel. The Daymare easter egg had another meaning, it's a reference to Jojo's Bizarre Adventure or to be more precise Dio Brando's line 'Were you expecting Jojo? but was me DIO' (forgot the exact line).
Pretty sure other have mentioned this but the Daymare reference is aJoJo's Bizarre Adventure reference. It's from Season 1 episode 3, I think. Dio kisses JoJo's girlfriend and he says "Your first kiss wasn't with JoJo, but it was with me, Dio" otherwise know as "Kono Dio Da."
I'm sure it's been mentioned before but the Daymare one is a reference within a reference. There's the obvious "It was me, Dio!" JoJo meme, but since Daymare is very inspired by the original Resident Evil 2, it's also a reference to the JoJo locker in the room where Martine was in the original RE2, which I'm sure the guy you have to "help" is suppose to be an analog for.
i have a suggestion, theres this game called streets of rouge, in this game your main goal is to get to the final floor and become the new mayor by taking the current mayors hat so depending on how you take the mayors hat, (stealing as a thief, murder, chloroform, etc) the game will have a slightly altered ending also if you beat the game without any means of speaking you will get a special ending for that to
I agree with your stance on Duke Nukem. It fell victim to a 14 year cycle of over hype and it's this kind of development hell that kills franchises and I think Valve knows that too, which is why there has been nothing regarding HL3. Whatever is put out regarding HL3 won't be received well by anyone because of almost 20 years of speculation.
The Colonial Marines/Spaceballs easter egg is a reference to a 1955 Merrie Melodies cartoon 'One Froggy Evening' which featured a frog that sang and danced to that tune, and was itself inspired by a scene from a 1944 Cary Grant film.
I thought it was Yatzhee from zero punctuation, talking about how working for your golden cock'n'balls will make it all the more special. From the minecraft review.
Breakpoint had a ton of glitches and errors at launch that brought it down as well, IIRC I will always remember the game for the pretty touching send off to stealth games they gave with the Splinter Cell cross over thing
For Video Game Easter Eggs/References to other Video Games: In Zombie Army 4's Ragnarok Part 2 DLC during the first "Survive the Ambush" objective, one of the characters, when giving story exposition about the beginning of the universe, says the line "In primordial space, timeless creatures made waves." This is referencing the exact same line from Marathon 2 of the famous Marathon series. (I will keep posting this until it shows up or get some form of acknowledgement, just to be sure.)
3:35 This is a JoJo reference. It references the line said by dio that has become a meme template of him juste saying "you were expecting [...], but it was me Dio!"
if you're copying a reference are you referencing the reference or the original thing? cause the hat and cane make it near identical to the movie thing the hat and cane in itself are references to Michigan J. Frog
I recently got halfway through Saints Row 2022, which was considered Volition's last nail in their coffin, and found that the Laundromat business venture has a reference to the QuikStop from the View Askew movies attached to it. Made me smile.
I think the easter egg in daymare is a reference to the iconic phrase of Dio Brando of the anime "JoJo bizarre adventure" Edit: I am referring to the famous phrase "kono dio da"
Breakpoint was leaps and bounds better than Wildlands. Most of it's criticism was fairly earned, if not ironic while also pointing out hypocrisy. The hate came from what it was at release....which ironically was pretty much what Wildlands had become. What bothers me, is that after the backlash, Ubisoft did nothing but commit to fixing the game and did just that...but the game remained a popular punching bag. Fans aren't sending a message at that point, they are just killing a franchise.
The reason why duke nukem forever failed was only partially due to overblown expectations, but the major thing that sunk it was that it WAS NOT A DUKE NUKEM GAME. It was just another brown military shooter with duke slapped in the center of it
There is also a “peanuts” Easter egg as well in fallout 76 I found as well. I don’t remember where it was, but I did get a picture of a skeleton sleeping on a doghouse like snoopy
The finger is referencing midas gold hands, in god of war ghost of Sparta you can see him losing one of his hands under the lava which it didn't melt but it got buried...
did you know that in Batman: Return To Arkham City (might be in original?) That the Mad Hatter's Rabbit Mask, that he puts on Batman, changes colors depending on the color of the cowl?
The Thief reboot is an awful game, yet for some reason it has one of my favorite easter eggs that appears out of nowhere and I hate that its inside of that game. Its that character whistling Frog's Theme from Chrono Trigger.
With the fallout 76 one. If you drink Nuka shine that cart is one of the many random places you wake up at after your character passes out
It also works with the trick or treat candy during the Halloween event
Can confirm both statements, discovered that on accident when playing for the first time with friends
@@jasonnightshade8319"on accident"
@@ImARealHumanPerson why you putting it in quotes like its not a random event that occurs randomly
Surprised how you didn't mention that " but it was me, a wall! " is actually a reference to the anime Jojo's Bizarre Adventures.
Same
I'm guessing either he didn't know or he couldn't think of a way to explain the reference without acknowledging the subject matter of that scene.
Probably because not everyone knows what that is, I for one do not know what that is lmao.
He wanted to bait people into asking, "IS THAT A JOJO REFERENCE!"
It's was me dio all along

Ahh I remember now. It was basically Ghost Recon The Division
I was looking for this exact comment. You explained it really well
I'm guessing it released around the same time as Assassin's Creed Origins or Odyssey, right? I feels like Ubi saw adding RPG elements as a way to add monetization options.
Wasn't a part of the hate also the used that game to 'promote' NFT's?

The biggest problem I had with Duke nukem forever was the fact that QTE events followed by instant deaths on failure I found was way too often

“You expected your first kiss to be with Jojo, but it was with me, wall!”
The Daymare would be funnier if it said, 'You thought this was gonna be an easter egg, but it's AWOL'
😎🍻😎
Yeah, but making it "a flippin' Jojo reference" is like a double meme so that's more important than being clever... or funny.
the easter egg saying "you were expecting an easter egg, but it was me, a wall" is in fact a reference to jojo's bizarre adventure, phantom blood. a famous sentence from Dio brando "you were expecting jojo, but it was me dio"

The wall Easter egg in the Daymare:1998 actually refers to the Dio meme from JJBA
"It Was Me, Dio!" ("Kono Dio Da!")
Fallout 76 has many great Easter Eggs. In one of the Hospitals, you can find a Plastic Alien Toy coming out of the Chest of a Skeleton.
Already covered 👍

Funnily enough, 2:53 is also referenced in an easter egg in Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 Zombie's map Shadows of Evil by upgrading the Lil' Arnie
2:51
FFS, they couldn't take 10-15 minutes to have the hat track the Xeno's body?
I mean, it’s Alien Colonial Marines. What did you expect?!

"Definitely a finger" 💀
Loved duke nukem forever got it on my 7th or 8th birthday and woke up 2 hours before school to play it
I think that Postal 4 Easter Egg might be the Austin Powers in Goldmember reference
last one can be a homage to Austin Powers in Goldmember, because you know, he had a gold member.

03:36 is it that one Dio line where he kissed Erina?
What was that golden futuristic car at the end
Having an interesting or elaborate easter egg in a bad game feels so weird.
They put more effort in a reference than the whole project. Lol
3:35 is a reference to Dio's iconic dialogue (also a meme) from Jojo's bizarre adventure. "but it was me, Dio!"
if you're copying a reference are you referencing the reference or the original thing? cause the hat and cane make it near identical to the movie thing the hat and cane in itself are references to Michigan J. Frog

Hopefully we get another Ghost Recon. Shame we may never get another Rainbow 6 because of Seige :(. At least Div 3 is in development.
Funny thing is that the Spaceballs reference is itself a reference to Michigan J. Frog, aka the Singing Frog, from Looney Tunes.
Jokes on you! The backrooms easter egg was added to Hunt Down the Freeman in the good version that they are working on.
The reason why duke nukem forever failed was only partially due to overblown expectations, but the major thing that sunk it was that it WAS NOT A DUKE NUKEM GAME. It was just another brown military shooter with duke slapped in the center of it
That Daymare easter egg was definitely a JoJo reference
Under 60 being bad is so weird to me. To me, bad would be under 40, just below the midway point of "mid"
Colonial Marines failing... Because a single line of code, will always haunt gamers.
3:30 that's a JoJo's Bizarre Adventures reference. The original line would be "Your first kiss wasn't JoJo, It was me, DIO!"
Not to mention how Keem Star is the president in Hunt Down The Freeman
There is also a “peanuts” Easter egg as well in fallout 76 I found as well. I don’t remember where it was, but I did get a picture of a skeleton sleeping on a doghouse like snoopy
I wonder if the giant golden "finger" in Postal 4 is a nod to the 3rd Austin Powers movie. You know, Goldmember.
I think the Daymare one is an Easter egg. It looks like a reference to the “It was me, Dio!” meme with the classic meme text
I’m so happy Godzilla has his own Easter egg (I’m the biggest Godzilla fan ever)
It's a finger TH-cam a finger I yell you!!!!
I can't wait to get my copy of ET
Keep the good shit up good sir! You’re awesome!!!
Thanks dude
You are literally the craziest hunter
3:40 kono waaru da
Not sure if an over-played and simplistic Backrooms Easter egg is deserving of being called "one of the best Easter eggs in this video".
I skipped first few seconds of the video but I heard something about a free ET game?
I want my game.
Great video tho
IS THAT A JOJO REFERENCE!!!?!!??🔥🔥🔥🔥
Have an eggcellent day everyone!
Great video but, below 60 being bad? I’d say below 50 is the threshold… a game scored 50 is straight down the middle, an average game.
I thought the golden finger was the yellow larvae from the animated series
The last one was not a finger
I like the "Hunt down the Freeman" one because it teleports you to a better game.
I think it’s illegal to have bad game in the title and borderlands in the thumbnail
Then lock me up👀
7:54 no, its a heart on a stick! It's special present you can give someone special :)
Hey captain I think you missed an Easter egg in duke Nukem it involves duke saying that's one dead space marine when you find the Easter egg
should've titled it just bad game because not all these games are really bad. Like breakpoint isn't really bad, it's just okay
The finger is referencing midas gold hands, in god of war ghost of Sparta you can see him losing one of his hands under the lava which it didn't melt but it got buried...
I liked Colonial Marines, but apparently that’s just me
3:33 Should probably point out that's also a Jojo's Bizarre Adventure reference.
did you know that in Batman: Return To Arkham City (might be in original?) That the Mad Hatter's Rabbit Mask, that he puts on Batman, changes colors depending on the color of the cowl?
You could put most Saints Row Reboot Easter Eggs in here
The problem with Breakpoint was all the bugs when the release hit
The postal 4 easter egg si a reference for goldmember from Austin Powers
After you said Godzilla I could see it and it fits the scene but when I first saw it I thought it was Nosferatu.
0:41 is that how breakpoint looked at launch
Duke Nukem Forever wasn't a bad game as long as you expect a Duke Nukem game.
"You have a big finger!" (Blankman)
I think the daymare easter egg was also a reference to it was me Dio meme
5:22 not me playing borderlands 2 as I'm watching this.
And that Wall Easter egg is a reference to Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure!
Can’t wait to get my copy of ET ☺️
Im looking forward to my ET cop for the Atari
