Right? Like, urgh. Scummy and exploitative. It had so much potential too, I really liked the aesthetic and the custom-recorded cute sound effects. Sad to see cryptobros ruining things again It's been 3 years now, I'm curious if that's still a "feature"
yeah this is WILD. It is a fake game , created to purposefully keep you playing , so the dev can use your PC as a zombie mining rig. How is that even legal?
your correct i was an old player and the only one with a 1080 this game had my shit runing so hot. i called the creator out on this and in return he added the hpb to the game. basicly he confirmed my suspicion.
@@lofigaming1092 My question is this... Josh said he got 0.01. So, he actually earned a tiny fraction of a Crypto? How? The Developer is using all the PCs to mine, and then gives you a cut? I'm very confused on the process. What Crypto are they mining? All of them, or exclusively going after one?
@@darkgn0ll587would that be the worst thing ever if they were open about it and that was what was being used to fund the game development? That actually seems like a viable way to crowdfund once you get to a certain place in development... am i being naive in thinking that if it was done in a more honest way it wouldn’t be a terrible model, provided they aren’t using your hardware to mine at all times?
@@cannedsquasher5923 apparently the game has been out for a few years and used to have a small dedicated community. If that's the case it's entirely possible questing or mob-grinding in groups may be significantly more efficient exp wise. Either that or you reach a gear point where your secondary stats become inflated enough to trivialize combat.
@dakotarossman5873 the developer doesn't need to see your wallet. They dont care what you have made because I guarantee they siphon coins like a tax on each player. so they make cash flow off each player's system running their garbage game.
If “Enslaved lich queen” was not to your taste, maybe you will find some of these other pets cute, cuddly, and adorable: “Molten magma demon of rage” “Hateful slave reaver” “Guy with gigantic bloody butcher knife” Or... “Two headed wolf marauder of terror”
I am actually devastated by the fact that this is not an MMO in which you control a sentient piece of toast in an "I AM BREAD" style physics combat and parkour system set in a ridiculous food fantasy setting.
Ah yes, the indie dev who knows how to program crypto mining and a cash shop into their game, an MMO, but can't be bothered with a sound library. I'm kind of surprised they didn't add a fatigue system while they were at it, too.
They technically did. But not in any way anyone has ever made a fatigue system. Later in the video, Josh dies from going too far out in the map. You start becoming "fatigued" by leaving the playable area.
@@gabriel_cooper I believe the fatigue system he is referring to is having an "energy" meter like in mobile games, where you will have to spend energy to play the game until you run out and either stop playing or buy more energy
Their sound is honestly better and more original. But there no excuses for the mining when all they had to do was not make the grind and balancing so awful and actually keep players.
There's nothing really wrong with that, as long as the players actually get their %. You're already using the processing power to play the game anyway, so if its a game you enjoyed, and you're playing it a lot, why not put that processing power towards mining? Especially if you, the player, can make a small % of money just for playing the game? Honestly it would be great if more games let you earn money while playing and WITHOUT ruining the in-game economy through RMT.
Still waiting for Valve to become a bad guy. I heard there's some issues with their handheld internals, but I don't know the details. My account has a 13 yr badge I believe. I've always felt like Valve tried to be extremely fair with their customers. I think it's cool they're allowing adults to buy games that they are mature enough to decide if they want to play. Everyone else is like "violence and gore is fine but 'honey pop?! No!'"
@@saucy-one >Still waiting for Valve to become a bad guy >Still waiting Honestly just the worst kind of person. Do you get off on watching your hero fall? Very goober mindset. Especially since you'd still use their service Mr. 13 yr badge.
@@slightlyaboveaveragebutaverage Trying to figure this out hold on... so...are you saying Valve/Steam have become the bad guy in something? Cause I don't see it.
Imaging having a cute concept, a core strong idea and variety and if you made it very minimally monetized with cosmetics only you'd legitimately make gangbusters cash and you go "You know what this needs? Oppressive crypto malware."
im one of those people who made it to level 60 and i can explain the hpb or why i think its there, now alot of players didnt have good gpu like i did (Infact most of them played on crappy laptops) so they didnt notice but this game made my gpu run like crazy and this was during the time games were getting in trouble for using players gpu to mine crypto, i called out the owner on this issue next thing you know hpb was added... additionally this game was cute but was actually ruthless in that anyone could pk anywhere but inside a town this was changed. and that is when player base declined.
It was really fun. Exploration in mystery that may not succeed and being somewhere you weren't meant to be is really exciting and fun. It's great to be unexpected together.👍🏻
Me too and I don't know why it excited me so much in knowing that possibly no players had got to that point. Actually... ironically it made me want to play it.
Please review "Age of Wushu", it has the terrible situation of that you need food or starve, but the word "Food" does not exist in the manual (it did not when I tried the game three years ago).
to be fair i dont remember needing food to like, complete quests or anything. the starvation was just a debuff, wasn't it? i really liked the game until the horrible customer service and botting and lack of... improvement in the translation made me leave. the mechanics were too complicated to understand without a decent translation and it was just horrible. but the graphics were so good, and the fighting was fun, and the life skills mini games weren't too bad
I simply love Josh's rating system "This game is shit and you simply wish you could get away from it...That is why I rate this game "an actual human baby out of 10" " so brilliant.
The sound design is painfully adorable and genuinely wonderful, but it's really sad the rest of it is. That sound design deserves a good, charming, child-focused game behind it.
This game was a lot better in 2019 I've leveled to 15 in a day, there was no cryptofarming nor pets And mobs did deal ten times less damage And there was potions usable in combat And there was iron crafting, you just needed higher skill level for recipes to appear
Sounds like they deliberately killed the game off so they didn't have to worry about it anymore. Which is more than kinda shitty because they left all the predatory microtransactions in it.
@@Trelior Tbh what it sounds like to me is a game that started off with good intent, it had charm and promise and then someone or some company came along and offered to buy it out, probably quite cheaply but I imagine the original developers didn't have a lot of money to start off with, or a lot of time/resources to further the development, so they took the offer and then the new devs turned it into a shady cryptomining 'game' either that or the original devs just stopped caring and thought they'd try and make a quick buck.
@@Trelior thats what a lot of failed MMOs do. Make a game as good as possible then if not enough people are willing to play, make the few that do pay the bills. That is ultimately what they do when they go free to play. Has nothing to do with "bringing in more players" just really milking the ones you have.
33:06 The strafing is correct isn't it? That's how strafing in every game I play works. Your character looks inward while strafing outward. It works like that in FFXIV and GW2.
Right? To me it looks like the character is looking over his shoulder, while being chased. Just because this happens in other games that doesn't mean anything. There are games that do the opposite. But, in THIS game, he looks like he's looking over his shoulder at the people behind him.
Whe I saw “Tale of bread” I instantly was like “why has someone made a mmo where u are a piece of bread” then I was thinking of the game “I am bread” but all mmo like. Now I’m thoroughly disappointed about hearing this game isn’t about being a piece of toast in a mmo setting
@@biteme9869 Very rarely you can bring back an already dead game, also the developers betrayed the core concept of their game within the first few months of it coming public. They hyped it so much that it was going to be an open world pvp game but they basically obliterated that and made it into one area, that perhaps was when I visually started to see the player base declining rapidly.
@@biteme9869 mmos have one chance at launching. After that the player base have to be big enough to keep the game interesting. They blowed up their chance when they losed the early adopters.
@@Puerco-Potter It doesn't always have just one chance, though. ESO had a really shitty launch and it took months before the game was in a somewhat playable state. They completely ruined their first impression. Now it's one of the titans of MMO gaming. You can still climb out of that hole when you waste your first chance, but you really need to set all sails and make it your one and only priority. Instead a lot of companies will just let the game bleed out and just keep draining the wallets of those stupid enough to stick around until the server costs become too high.
If they're going to give a pet a weapon then that pet needs to help in combat. Also, they should have made that lich queen cute a chibi as well. Imagine a bunch of big, scary liches being commanded by a cute lil queen
It's a shame this is such a grindy nightmare, I was hoping for a positive review. It looked adorable and I was hoping to find a new MMO that I could enjoy 😞
actually, the looking in the opposite direction while strafing makes sense. after all, if you were strafing sideways, the thing you're strafing around would likely be in the opposite direction. But what I do want to ask nobody in particular is if this is one of those games made of bought assets/engines?
This makes me want WoW to have a quest where you experience a child's recollection of something, and while playing as the child, everything appears and sounds like this game.
"What is the point of crafting" this feels like a question I ask for most RPGs, by the time you level up your worker classes and gain the resources required and make am item. It just end up being a waste of time and resources as it usually is inferior to most regular monster drop equipment. Some few games have made it work but most of them, just make crafting and stores irrelevant for equipment
Listening to you describe this game brings back memories of OG Final Fantasy 14. Soloing was impossible past level 10 as enemies were scaled to a full party of 6 players. Quests did not appear on the map, and they never explained where to go. Crafting took insane amounts of time investment if you wanted to gather your own materials, so a major part of the economy was grinding crafting ingredients for other players. It was just expected of the community to band together to play that game. And for a long while, we did. Good times... *edit: I mistyped and meant XI, not XIV*
@@scintillam_dei the OG FF was supposed to be the studio's final project, because they had no money left. If the game broke even they didn't have enough to make another game, so they called it Final Fantasy and planned to shutter the studio after its release. But it was a smash hit, so they made another, and another...
This feels like a potion chugging MMO without the potions. Was there a way to craft any, or much like the cabbages, 'you must be out of combat for 3 sec to use that'?
33:15 to be entirely fair, when I think of strafing, I think largely of two situations: Either moving directly left and right for situations in which you're shooting at an enemy; moving from cover to cover or dodging fire, and circling around an enemy. In both situations, you'd be in combat. Obviously knowing where you're going is good, but it's also a bad idea to take your eyes off the enemy. In both cases, looking the opposite direction that you're moving while strafing would have you 'looking' at the enemy.
For how 'buttered' up the game's art style is it still left Josh 'burnt'. So many incomplete systems like 'crumbs' in it's coding and with no music to 'jam' out to leaves this piece of toast stale. No I don't regret those bad puns~ (P.S. Not sure if your up for it but I think it'd be fun to watch you and your patrons play some of these bad games together on stream or something...but then again given the incredibly low player count of some of these games you'd probably crash the servers. :P)
Crafting in wow has the same issue. It's basically a waste of time or materials except in niche cases. If I wanted to get heavily into it and play a bit more of an RP style where I gather an make my own gear, the gear is all just junk. Unless it's extremely high level non weapon and non armor items or utility items, it's just useless. The new xpack has fixed this to an extent with crafted armor, but you can only equip one useful crafted item at a time and the grind to craft a better version is huge and expensive... Time better spent grinding gold and just buying the items off the auction house.
Crafting in WoW used to be so much more important than its become. The professions in that game have become so neutered that they are mostly pointless. Vanilla to Lich King was when they were so good. Once Pandaria came about they were dead.
Can I just say: Your final adventure is how any journey in Everquest 1 was, even just going to a dungeon for your level, especially when it was on another continent. The thrill of traversing creepy areas with monsters that could 1shot you, causing you to lose exp worth hours or days of grind and even all your possessions if you don't manage to get back your corpse while completely naked. I miss those times. Nowadays it's all just "meh I died, no problem", "meh it's on the other side of the globe, I just click this teleporter"...............
I've been hopping back into each game before the premiere in this series, so looks like it's time to hop on Tale of Toast. Quite a different game from MO, and I'm curious to see if there's an enthusiastic community that shows up in the comments. :)
@@JoshStrifeHayes I just played for an hour. One person responded in chat when I asked every few minutes if anyone was around.. and it was a new player. I was able to fall off of the cliff near Brightwyn, swim down the river to the ocean, and rapidly jump up the cliffs / steep slopes and get back into town. This is like a school project attempt at making a 3D RuneScape in the state it's in now. I can tell that the developer really put a lot of effort into this game, but it seems to be another case of taking on a project beyond one's resources and releasing it to the public way too soon. It has some of the most awkward controls too. I was often hitting combat targets with my back turned to them. Health bars and other elements obstruct the playfield and the UI - while attempting to be cute - looks amateurish. There's a prototype of a potentially interesting Runescape-like game here, but in my opinion -- it should have been developed a bit further before tossing it on Steam and releasing it to the public. The world felt fake as well. There were towns, NPCs, random environmental features, etc -- but none of it really felt cohesive. I couldn't tell you a single thing about the lore or story of this game, except apparently I helped a place called Astaria and a guy named Bony wanted bat bones, and I just logged off. If someone wanted a 3d game of this style to alpha test, Arcfall is in much better shape -- higher pop (still not great), more content, and a better overall presentation. I guess you could say.. The Tale of Toast is toast. :)
@@AunCollective I’m not sure what it’s like now, but when I played it a couple years ago, it was full of people and I was even in a Discord for a group within the game.
35:11 MAN I CANNOT STAND games that take away xp youve earned, makes you scared to do anything risky AT ALL, same for having some super move that takes forever to recharge where you never end up using it because you're too worried to waste it
37:11 Ha I live near Seven Oaks, it’s a town in the south east of England - just over the border from Surrey in Kent. Maybe I’ll nip round there for Patch’s key sometime
I played this despite your warning. I made my son play it, too. It was kind of fun... at first. We even did that first instance, up to the final boss. (they seem to expect maybe 6 players - ha!) My son abandoned me soon after, having come to the same conclusions you did. I soldiered on. Why? I'd been trying to finish my very last quest in FFXIV (I had done every-single-one, through Shadowbringers.) My very last quest was Feast of Famine, and when I realized the weather I had to track to catch a stupid fish, I decided I needed a break. So I checked the weather, found no thunder in the South Shroud, & went as far as I could go in Tale of Toast. There was another player on (!!!) He seemed shocked anyone else was playing. Once you get the next level of crafting, and do the one or two remaining quests, you learn there's nothing else. Every town is the same. I killed some fairies, basically out of spite, and realized it's stunningly empty past the first cute bit. I told my son 'I'M FINE, IT'S FINE, I hate fish,' and went on a bit more. I made some gear - it was way lower than my current level, which was 16 or something, I don't remember. I was a mage - I found stuff like the bandits really easy as a mage, incidentally. Archer & melee were awful. That's my only advice. It's a little sad though - I can imagine this is a kind of pleasant time waster if there was *anything there at all.* However, I want back to FFXIV's last quest refreshed, caught every rare fish, and so it did, in fact, serve its purpose.
the kill, rest, opps respawn loop with lower enemies not giving XP but higher enemies kick your butt sounds so much like Everquest, especially the early days
This video, this game, has given me ideas about an MMO without grinding, without even *levels* . Just Warframe style fights where you doge and attack and use pure skill to take out the enemies...your gear gets stronger as you work your way up through tougher mobs, but technically, if you're *good* enough, you can take on the final boss with no weapons or armor and *win* .
@Beaverish Buck Teeth It is if it's massively multiplayer and also online. Unless you mean Warframe specifically, in which case I was just using that as an example of the play style. I feel like there would be an audience for a purely skill based MMO. There's plenty of people who enjoy the 'get good enough to kill the boss in your underwear ' style of gaming in single player, adding PVP and cooperative takedowns to the mix would probably catch that audience.
Worst? Seems to me like this game has a lot of charm. Some technical problems maybe, but it's cute and earnest and I want to give it a hug. ... okay, I spoke too stone, the block chain thing is a bit disgusting, and undermines the earnestness thing.
Man... your worst MMO ever videos are so good... I binged them all day. Please consider doing Kal Online or Silkroadonline. In retrospect i think they would do very well in this list and I am quite embarrassed that i played especially the first mentioned for maybe 2 years >_
I can think of two reasons why the music stops. Either the dev didn't expect anyone to play longer than the length of the music track, or no one noticed the bug including the dev because no one played it that long.
in defense of the strafing thing, if you're running away from something you're likely to start wavering in the opposite direction of the shoulder you look over.
IF you're looking over your shoulder. Which, the character does look like he's doing. But, there's no way to determine his motivation to strafe. But, people never strafe in real life, so...just weird to include anything like that.
Jekkely is a pun name. I think it should be a reference to jekyll and hyde. The jekyll part wants you to kill the animal and the hide part wants you to get the hide from the killed enemy
I think they did pretty good for what seems like a relatively small developer, they got all of the features in, and even developed a style. All they need to do is refine the numbers and fix the small bugs and I really think this can be good
Anybody else noticed that the wisp in the player creation screen has the shadow of a bat? It's probably a modified bat asset from elsewhere in the game with the model replaced with a light source and new animation but they forgot to replace the shadow model Edit: it also seems to be generating a shadow from it's own light source 😂
The strafing thing actually makes sense if you think about circle strafe movement. If you are moving in a circle around a mob, turning to look the opposite direction of movement would be towards the center of the circle.
I was listening to the video while working and after a while, I realized you make really lenghty AND entertaining videos. Really appreciate your videos :)
I really liked in this one you really tried to explore which is something forgotten with MMO's these days but I guess we have guides and tutorials to slightly blame for that
I watch your videos a lot as someone who wants to become a Game Developer in the future. I want to make an MMO-Styled game and release it as Singleplayer in an early stage, then, when I can get the backing to support Servers, publish it for Multiplayer. Your points on what is good/bad and advice tips are constructive and entertaining. I likely won't be capable of developing anything for quite a while, being that I have no way of Sound Development at the time and no budget to hire anyone. Still, when I do get to that point I will entirely consider a lot of the points you've made in your reviews, including the proper price for Microtransactions, What should be used in UI, etc, etc. Everything is very entertaining, professionally worded and helpful to someone who wants to do this as a job. You likely won't see this on such on an old video, but this one pointed out the most to me, so I felt the need to leave it here. If you ever see this, thank you. ^^;
You know this could be a really good game! Cutesy take on MMOs with more personality than other small games out there! But the small problems combined with the awful in game currency and constant grinding just ruins it. I hope the devs watch this and actually take the advice and work to improve their game. Its not a lost cause, and I really want this to be a good game honestly.
Legends of Equestria has a somewhat similar art style, but does not fall for these mistakes. It has a few problems itself (servers restart every three hours, occasionally the dispatcher will be restarted which has no warning), but is still better in every way. Still, this game should be good. Until then, its lost potential.
Hmm that game definitelly needs some ambiance sounds, for each type of outside area and each type of interior, and maybe different footstep sounds for each. Also, this game gives me a lot of "Hordes" vibe. heh.
I... I am downloading the game right now.. I just want to hear the cute "oink" sound of the pigs for myself. This game seems to have potential, I hope the developers don't abandon it.
i spend the last hour looking for that Bandit-maß that you found at 6:26 ... I also found a rare enemy in the bandit camp called "Bando" (love it). He kills me in 2-3 hits (dont love it). But i wont stop playing this game until i killed Bando.
@@dielaberbrudergaming6288 the crypto feature doesn't work from what i heard from other players. And even if it did and the developer somehow earned money with it.. i don't care. They developed a game that is free to play for everyone and I think it would only be fair if they made some money with it. But as I said, i don't think the feature works at all.
@@ASIRA89 i quote another comment: The crypto thing might've been them using that as an excuse to include mining code in the game and use your pc to mine. and if a public alpha build includes 250$ microtransactions it wouldnt surprise me if they used every player for that highly illegal business.
With the kill bunnies quest rewarding a pet, they missed the chance to make it the killer rabbit of aaargh. Lich Queen does not really fit the aesthetics here.
I agree, this type of game is like eating pure caramel. The caramel is given to you by your aunt who is also a doctor. She secretly finds you really annoying and gives you caramel to get you diabetes so you have to buy insulin from her.
i have 83 hours played so far. I'm taking a break currently but will probably continue to play this game in the future. It is perfect if you want to feel like you are playing a game while you watch anime with picture-in-picture mode. I run around for hours to grind materials to progress in crafting, which also gives you XP, so killing monsters isn't even required to level up. But aside from exploring the world, slooowly gaining power (leveling is very slow), and some dungeons (I've been in 1 so far) there is no much to do. A plus is that the few people that still play this game are all very friendly and help you whenever they can. If this game would've continued to be improved over the time, this game feels as if it has a lot of potential.
Honestly this game sounds like it could be good, especially with some more love from the developers. As somebody who has played a lot of very bad MMOs over the years, and also dealt with a lot of terrible systems in them, I would love to give this a try. However, I do not want a game that's giving me some form of crypto because it's something I don't feel needs to be connected to video games. If there ever was an update that removed that, I'd gladly give this a try.
imagine if this was just a really cute game about a piece of toast going on magical adventures while cute music plays in the background and adorable sound effects play depending on what's happening. oh, and imagine if armor was just sandwhich fillings. like "peanut butter and jelly" or maybe "butter" and "chocolate". something like that.
i would have loved a nice casual mmo where you play as a toast with a little butterknife for a weapon and butter for armor and one of the quests if you having to defeat the big bad burrito boss
Back in the days of the Game Boy Advance, I heard about a game in development called "SHEEP" (i think it was). I thought it was cute, and wanted it, but they cancelled it or something.
The head looking left when strafing right and viceversa I don't think is a bug, but intended. The idea of the character looking the way they expect the camera to point at, like looking at the enemy he's trying to go around. So it's not looking the opposite way they would intend, if anything, too far. (Unless I didn't understand what was going on). A game where aggroing a second enemy is guaranteed death, this is the game of the dreams of the WoW Classic lovers. "It's hard, if you aren't careful and get another enemy on you, you die". That's such a wrong take on difficulty. Challenging and impossible are two completely different terms. I say something isn't challenging if it is impossible.

@@Holyduck777 I'd play it
oh, did you know that there's an actual one-player game called "i am bread"?
Jssjaja
I am actually devastated by the fact that this is not an MMO in which you control a sentient piece of toast in an "I AM BREAD" style physics combat and parkour system set in a ridiculous food fantasy setting.
That would be awesome! Just imagine playing as a baguette.
Imagine a pyromancer class called a toaster
"food fantasy" is the genre we didn't know we needed
Ah damn, that makes me want to go back and watch videos of people playing I Am Bread. So many good times cry-laughing.
@@dakotashroom5401 So, Spy TF2?
Ah yes, the indie dev who knows how to program crypto mining and a cash shop into their game, an MMO, but can't be bothered with a sound library. I'm kind of surprised they didn't add a fatigue system while they were at it, too.
They technically did. But not in any way anyone has ever made a fatigue system. Later in the video, Josh dies from going too far out in the map. You start becoming "fatigued" by leaving the playable area.
@@xchronox0 doesn't wow do that as well tho? like when you try to go too far through the oceans.
@@gabriel_cooper I believe the fatigue system he is referring to is having an "energy" meter like in mobile games, where you will have to spend energy to play the game until you run out and either stop playing or buy more energy
Their sound is honestly better and more original. But there no excuses for the mining when all they had to do was not make the grind and balancing so awful and actually keep players.
I was having a cute time and they blindside me with a damn cryptominer
absolutely INSANE that josh kept playing after the game admitted to being a CRYPTO MINER
well atleast they pretend to give u a cut xD
There's nothing really wrong with that, as long as the players actually get their %. You're already using the processing power to play the game anyway, so if its a game you enjoyed, and you're playing it a lot, why not put that processing power towards mining? Especially if you, the player, can make a small % of money just for playing the game? Honestly it would be great if more games let you earn money while playing and WITHOUT ruining the in-game economy through RMT.

"You know what this needs? Oppressive crypto malware."
im one of those people who made it to level 60 and i can explain the hpb or why i think its there, now alot of players didnt have good gpu like i did (Infact most of them played on crappy laptops) so they didnt notice but this game made my gpu run like crazy and this was during the time games were getting in trouble for using players gpu to mine crypto, i called out the owner on this issue next thing you know hpb was added... additionally this game was cute but was actually ruthless in that anyone could pk anywhere but inside a town this was changed. and that is when player base declined.
I made to 64 and actually managed to kill some people 😂😂😂
1 guy just couldn’t believe I was that good at killing people that he kept coming back for more now I have 3 of his ears 😂
LEVEL 60!! how long did you play this game?
...it's a crypto miner.
but why did u keep playing it ? It doesn't bother u to used badly and without care ?
I legit got excited when you went off to explore places on the furthest edges of the map.
It was really fun. Exploration in mystery that may not succeed and being somewhere you weren't meant to be is really exciting and fun.
It's great to be unexpected together.👍🏻
Me too and I don't know why it excited me so much in knowing that possibly no players had got to that point. Actually... ironically it made me want to play it.
@@Conighttonight Then see the channel Swankybox. He focuses on Zelda and Mario, going to places players weren't meant to go.
Please review "Age of Wushu", it has the terrible situation of that you need food or starve, but the word "Food" does not exist in the manual (it did not when I tried the game three years ago).
to be fair i dont remember needing food to like, complete quests or anything. the starvation was just a debuff, wasn't it? i really liked the game until the horrible customer service and botting and lack of... improvement in the translation made me leave. the mechanics were too complicated to understand without a decent translation and it was just horrible. but the graphics were so good, and the fighting was fun, and the life skills mini games weren't too bad
I simply love Josh's rating system "This game is shit and you simply wish you could get away from it...That is why I rate this game "an actual human baby out of 10" " so brilliant.
The sound design is painfully adorable and genuinely wonderful, but it's really sad the rest of it is. That sound design deserves a good, charming, child-focused game behind it.
That level up sound was too adorable for me
I never want to hear the words "cute, adorable, human" again after watching this.
This game has so much charm and I adore the sounds, sad to see a cute little game like this have predatory mechanics.
Pissney: Nervous sweating.
This game was a lot better in 2019
I've leveled to 15 in a day, there was no cryptofarming nor pets
And mobs did deal ten times less damage
And there was potions usable in combat
And there was iron crafting, you just needed higher skill level for recipes to appear
Sounds like they deliberately killed the game off so they didn't have to worry about it anymore. Which is more than kinda shitty because they left all the predatory microtransactions in it.
@@Trelior Tbh what it sounds like to me is a game that started off with good intent, it had charm and promise and then someone or some company came along and offered to buy it out, probably quite cheaply but I imagine the original developers didn't have a lot of money to start off with, or a lot of time/resources to further the development, so they took the offer and then the new devs turned it into a shady cryptomining 'game' either that or the original devs just stopped caring and thought they'd try and make a quick buck.
@@Trelior thats what a lot of failed MMOs do. Make a game as good as possible then if not enough people are willing to play, make the few that do pay the bills. That is ultimately what they do when they go free to play. Has nothing to do with "bringing in more players" just really milking the ones you have.
33:06 The strafing is correct isn't it? That's how strafing in every game I play works. Your character looks inward while strafing outward. It works like that in FFXIV and GW2.
Right? To me it looks like the character is looking over his shoulder, while being chased.
Just because this happens in other games that doesn't mean anything. There are games that do the opposite.
But, in THIS game, he looks like he's looking over his shoulder at the people behind him.
The animal sounds are pretty wonderful, but to be honest, I’ve always felt that real sheep sound like people pretending to be sheep.
I'm stuck wondering 2 things. 1) have you ever heard a real sheep before? And 2) if so, wtf kind of sounds are the people around you making??

Whe I saw “Tale of bread” I instantly was like “why has someone made a mmo where u are a piece of bread” then I was thinking of the game “I am bread” but all mmo like. Now I’m thoroughly disappointed about hearing this game isn’t about being a piece of toast in a mmo setting
So disappointing, it’s so cute ! It deserved to be good ... but nope :(
Wym? It looks good and it’s only alpha.
@@biteme9869 Very rarely you can bring back an already dead game, also the developers betrayed the core concept of their game within the first few months of it coming public. They hyped it so much that it was going to be an open world pvp game but they basically obliterated that and made it into one area, that perhaps was when I visually started to see the player base declining rapidly.
@@biteme9869 mmos have one chance at launching. After that the player base have to be big enough to keep the game interesting. They blowed up their chance when they losed the early adopters.
@@Puerco-Potter It doesn't always have just one chance, though. ESO had a really shitty launch and it took months before the game was in a somewhat playable state. They completely ruined their first impression. Now it's one of the titans of MMO gaming. You can still climb out of that hole when you waste your first chance, but you really need to set all sails and make it your one and only priority. Instead a lot of companies will just let the game bleed out and just keep draining the wallets of those stupid enough to stick around until the server costs become too high.

It's a shame this is such a grindy nightmare, I was hoping for a positive review. It looked adorable and I was hoping to find a new MMO that I could enjoy 😞
actually, the looking in the opposite direction while strafing makes sense. after all, if you were strafing sideways, the thing you're strafing around would likely be in the opposite direction. But what I do want to ask nobody in particular is if this is one of those games made of bought assets/engines?
This makes me want WoW to have a quest where you experience a child's recollection of something, and while playing as the child, everything appears and sounds like this game.
"What is the point of crafting" this feels like a question I ask for most RPGs, by the time you level up your worker classes and gain the resources required and make am item. It just end up being a waste of time and resources as it usually is inferior to most regular monster drop equipment.
Some few games have made it work but most of them, just make crafting and stores irrelevant for equipment
@Beaverish Buck Teeth I said in most, not all bozo
Listening to you describe this game brings back memories of OG Final Fantasy 14. Soloing was impossible past level 10 as enemies were scaled to a full party of 6 players. Quests did not appear on the map, and they never explained where to go. Crafting took insane amounts of time investment if you wanted to gather your own materials, so a major part of the economy was grinding crafting ingredients for other players. It was just expected of the community to band together to play that game. And for a long while, we did. Good times... *edit: I mistyped and meant XI, not XIV*
Sounds a lot like og FF11
you sure you dont mean OG FF11? Because that's exactly what FF11 was like but I dont remember 14 being like that at all, even back in the 1.0 days.
Final is a lie. They are all Intermediate Fantasy....z.
@@scintillam_dei the OG FF was supposed to be the studio's final project, because they had no money left. If the game broke even they didn't have enough to make another game, so they called it Final Fantasy and planned to shutter the studio after its release. But it was a smash hit, so they made another, and another...
@@IcicleFerret I should play one.
This feels like a potion chugging MMO without the potions. Was there a way to craft any, or much like the cabbages, 'you must be out of combat for 3 sec to use that'?
33:15 to be entirely fair, when I think of strafing, I think largely of two situations: Either moving directly left and right for situations in which you're shooting at an enemy; moving from cover to cover or dodging fire, and circling around an enemy. In both situations, you'd be in combat. Obviously knowing where you're going is good, but it's also a bad idea to take your eyes off the enemy. In both cases, looking the opposite direction that you're moving while strafing would have you 'looking' at the enemy.
I feel it's only suitable to give litch queen to a heartless beast that murdered cute, innocent bunnies without as much as a blink of an eye.
For how 'buttered' up the game's art style is it still left Josh 'burnt'. So many incomplete systems like 'crumbs' in it's coding and with no music to 'jam' out to leaves this piece of toast stale.
No I don't regret those bad puns~
(P.S. Not sure if your up for it but I think it'd be fun to watch you and your patrons play some of these bad games together on stream or something...but then again given the incredibly low player count of some of these games you'd probably crash the servers. :P)
I enjoyed every single pun
Crafting in wow has the same issue. It's basically a waste of time or materials except in niche cases. If I wanted to get heavily into it and play a bit more of an RP style where I gather an make my own gear, the gear is all just junk. Unless it's extremely high level non weapon and non armor items or utility items, it's just useless.
The new xpack has fixed this to an extent with crafted armor, but you can only equip one useful crafted item at a time and the grind to craft a better version is huge and expensive... Time better spent grinding gold and just buying the items off the auction house.
Crafting in WoW used to be so much more important than its become. The professions in that game have become so neutered that they are mostly pointless. Vanilla to Lich King was when they were so good. Once Pandaria came about they were dead.
@@UnderseaPumaKing vanilla and TBC crafting were pretty great. Sold my account just before Wrath so I can't speak for it.
Rick Astley never gave me up, can't stop laughing.
Can I just say: Your final adventure is how any journey in Everquest 1 was, even just going to a dungeon for your level, especially when it was on another continent.
The thrill of traversing creepy areas with monsters that could 1shot you, causing you to lose exp worth hours or days of grind and even all your possessions if you don't manage to get back your corpse while completely naked.
I miss those times. Nowadays it's all just "meh I died, no problem", "meh it's on the other side of the globe, I just click this teleporter"...............
I've been hopping back into each game before the premiere in this series, so looks like it's time to hop on Tale of Toast. Quite a different game from MO, and I'm curious to see if there's an enthusiastic community that shows up in the comments. :)
God i hope so.
Every diasgreeing comment or personal insult is still a comment.
@@JoshStrifeHayes I just played for an hour. One person responded in chat when I asked every few minutes if anyone was around.. and it was a new player. I was able to fall off of the cliff near Brightwyn, swim down the river to the ocean, and rapidly jump up the cliffs / steep slopes and get back into town.
This is like a school project attempt at making a 3D RuneScape in the state it's in now. I can tell that the developer really put a lot of effort into this game, but it seems to be another case of taking on a project beyond one's resources and releasing it to the public way too soon.
It has some of the most awkward controls too. I was often hitting combat targets with my back turned to them. Health bars and other elements obstruct the playfield and the UI - while attempting to be cute - looks amateurish.
There's a prototype of a potentially interesting Runescape-like game here, but in my opinion -- it should have been developed a bit further before tossing it on Steam and releasing it to the public.
The world felt fake as well. There were towns, NPCs, random environmental features, etc -- but none of it really felt cohesive. I couldn't tell you a single thing about the lore or story of this game, except apparently I helped a place called Astaria and a guy named Bony wanted bat bones, and I just logged off.
If someone wanted a 3d game of this style to alpha test, Arcfall is in much better shape -- higher pop (still not great), more content, and a better overall presentation.
I guess you could say.. The Tale of Toast is toast. :)

Such a great start, got worst as it went on, such a shame.
That ending was absolutely fantastic. The massive hype up to instant death was just amazing. 42:30
I played this despite your warning. I made my son play it, too. It was kind of fun... at first. We even did that first instance, up to the final boss. (they seem to expect maybe 6 players - ha!) My son abandoned me soon after, having come to the same conclusions you did. I soldiered on. Why? I'd been trying to finish my very last quest in FFXIV (I had done every-single-one, through Shadowbringers.) My very last quest was Feast of Famine, and when I realized the weather I had to track to catch a stupid fish, I decided I needed a break. So I checked the weather, found no thunder in the South Shroud, & went as far as I could go in Tale of Toast. There was another player on (!!!) He seemed shocked anyone else was playing. Once you get the next level of crafting, and do the one or two remaining quests, you learn there's nothing else. Every town is the same. I killed some fairies, basically out of spite, and realized it's stunningly empty past the first cute bit. I told my son 'I'M FINE, IT'S FINE, I hate fish,' and went on a bit more. I made some gear - it was way lower than my current level, which was 16 or something, I don't remember. I was a mage - I found stuff like the bandits really easy as a mage, incidentally. Archer & melee were awful. That's my only advice. It's a little sad though - I can imagine this is a kind of pleasant time waster if there was *anything there at all.* However, I want back to FFXIV's last quest refreshed, caught every rare fish, and so it did, in fact, serve its purpose.

@33:48 had me dying.... "You might be good at swimming, but are you move backwards while swimming forwards good?"
When you started your whole big anime speech at the end. It was obvious that instant death was coming immediately. Still cracked me up 😂
the kill, rest, opps respawn loop with lower enemies not giving XP but higher enemies kick your butt sounds so much like Everquest, especially the early days
This video, this game, has given me ideas about an MMO without grinding, without even *levels* . Just Warframe style fights where you doge and attack and use pure skill to take out the enemies...your gear gets stronger as you work your way up through tougher mobs, but technically, if you're *good* enough, you can take on the final boss with no weapons or armor and *win* .
I remember people doing that sort of thing in Guild Wars 2, final dungeon hardest fight halfway through (giganticus lupicus) naked and solo.
@Beaverish Buck Teeth It is if it's massively multiplayer and also online.
Unless you mean Warframe specifically, in which case I was just using that as an example of the play style. I feel like there would be an audience for a purely skill based MMO. There's plenty of people who enjoy the 'get good enough to kill the boss in your underwear ' style of gaming in single player, adding PVP and cooperative takedowns to the mix would probably catch that audience.
Worst? Seems to me like this game has a lot of charm. Some technical problems maybe, but it's cute and earnest and I want to give it a hug.
... okay, I spoke too stone, the block chain thing is a bit disgusting, and undermines the earnestness thing.
Man... your worst MMO ever videos are so good... I binged them all day. Please consider doing Kal Online or Silkroadonline. In retrospect i think they would do very well in this list and I am quite embarrassed that i played especially the first mentioned for maybe 2 years >_
I can think of two reasons why the music stops. Either the dev didn't expect anyone to play longer than the length of the music track, or no one noticed the bug including the dev because no one played it that long.
in defense of the strafing thing, if you're running away from something you're likely to start wavering in the opposite direction of the shoulder you look over.
IF you're looking over your shoulder.
Which, the character does look like he's doing.
But, there's no way to determine his motivation to strafe. But, people never strafe in real life, so...just weird to include anything like that.
Jekkely is a pun name. I think it should be a reference to jekyll and hyde. The jekyll part wants you to kill the animal and the hide part wants you to get the hide from the killed enemy
Are you ever gonna revisit any of these to see if they listened and it got better?
According to steam and seeing they player count it stayed the same.
There's no need for that lol
@@brdevll ive noticed
Somehow it cracked me up how this cutsie game has this epic thunder sound
I think they did pretty good for what seems like a relatively small developer, they got all of the features in, and even developed a style. All they need to do is refine the numbers and fix the small bugs and I really think this can be good
lol this isn't a game it's an overproduced crypto mine
Anybody else noticed that the wisp in the player creation screen has the shadow of a bat? It's probably a modified bat asset from elsewhere in the game with the model replaced with a light source and new animation but they forgot to replace the shadow model
Edit: it also seems to be generating a shadow from it's own light source 😂
LOOOOOL those 3 demons at the end are the same model as a mobile game i played for a few months (Undead vs Demons) so funny xD
i like how the last bit was just exploration of uncharted territories
If you liked that you'll love tomorrows video
The strafing thing actually makes sense if you think about circle strafe movement. If you are moving in a circle around a mob, turning to look the opposite direction of movement would be towards the center of the circle.

I watch your videos a lot as someone who wants to become a Game Developer in the future. I want to make an MMO-Styled game and release it as Singleplayer in an early stage, then, when I can get the backing to support Servers, publish it for Multiplayer. Your points on what is good/bad and advice tips are constructive and entertaining. I likely won't be capable of developing anything for quite a while, being that I have no way of Sound Development at the time and no budget to hire anyone. Still, when I do get to that point I will entirely consider a lot of the points you've made in your reviews, including the proper price for Microtransactions, What should be used in UI, etc, etc. Everything is very entertaining, professionally worded and helpful to someone who wants to do this as a job. You likely won't see this on such on an old video, but this one pointed out the most to me, so I felt the need to leave it here. If you ever see this, thank you. ^^;
Good luck mate!! I'd be willing to give the game a try if you would allow it :D
You know this could be a really good game! Cutesy take on MMOs with more personality than other small games out there! But the small problems combined with the awful in game currency and constant grinding just ruins it. I hope the devs watch this and actually take the advice and work to improve their game. Its not a lost cause, and I really want this to be a good game honestly.
Legends of Equestria has a somewhat similar art style, but does not fall for these mistakes. It has a few problems itself (servers restart every three hours, occasionally the dispatcher will be restarted which has no warning), but is still better in every way. Still, this game should be good. Until then, its lost potential.
The developers don’t take a shit, they use your computer as a mining device to get cryptocurrency.
Hmm that game definitelly needs some ambiance sounds, for each type of outside area and each type of interior, and maybe different footstep sounds for each.

i have 83 hours played so far. I'm taking a break currently but will probably continue to play this game in the future. It is perfect if you want to feel like you are playing a game while you watch anime with picture-in-picture mode. I run around for hours to grind materials to progress in crafting, which also gives you XP, so killing monsters isn't even required to level up. But aside from exploring the world, slooowly gaining power (leveling is very slow), and some dungeons (I've been in 1 so far) there is no much to do. A plus is that the few people that still play this game are all very friendly and help you whenever they can. If this game would've continued to be improved over the time, this game feels as if it has a lot of potential.
Honestly this game sounds like it could be good, especially with some more love from the developers. As somebody who has played a lot of very bad MMOs over the years, and also dealt with a lot of terrible systems in them, I would love to give this a try. However, I do not want a game that's giving me some form of crypto because it's something I don't feel needs to be connected to video games. If there ever was an update that removed that, I'd gladly give this a try.
Toast refers to what it does to your GPU while cryptomining.
I'm so sad Jekkles didn't ask for you to collect hides....
imagine if this was just a really cute game about a piece of toast going on magical adventures while cute music plays in the background and adorable sound effects play depending on what's happening. oh, and imagine if armor was just sandwhich fillings. like "peanut butter and jelly" or maybe "butter" and "chocolate". something like that.
i would have loved a nice casual mmo where you play as a toast with a little butterknife for a weapon and butter for armor and one of the quests if you having to defeat the big bad burrito boss
Back in the days of the Game Boy Advance, I heard about a game in development called "SHEEP" (i think it was). I thought it was cute, and wanted it, but they cancelled it or something.
the devil blob enemy things at 26:49 are devilmon from summoners war
Noticed the too lol. But pretty sure it's just basic cute blob design
The speech at the end followed by a quick unceremonious death was perfect.
The head looking left when strafing right and viceversa I don't think is a bug, but intended. The idea of the character looking the way they expect the camera to point at, like looking at the enemy he's trying to go around. So it's not looking the opposite way they would intend, if anything, too far. (Unless I didn't understand what was going on).
A game where aggroing a second enemy is guaranteed death, this is the game of the dreams of the WoW Classic lovers. "It's hard, if you aren't careful and get another enemy on you, you die". That's such a wrong take on difficulty. Challenging and impossible are two completely different terms. I say something isn't challenging if it is impossible.
Go and play this and see how long you're able to have fun.
@@JoshStrifeHayes No way, I'm not one of the WoW Classic was great because of it. I'm not touching this game with aten foot pole.
