Why is modern PC People obsessed with "Character Development", when LIFE is also about staying in a good place 'till you die, while keeping a good attitude? Objectivelly I don't like people idea of human progresos anymore, nedlesly elithist, nedlesly meta
Kazuma Kiryu has never killed anyone but Lester the Unlikely has left a pile of pirate corpses behind him as extensive as The Bride in the House of Blue Leaves
It's a game about conquering your fears. Gameplay-wise Lester shows cowardly behavior like running from enemies and screaming while jumping until you complete certain tasks. Lester changes before the Gorilla boss but its most noticeable after since he runs faster and no screams while jumping. Story-wise Lester ends up on the island after falling asleep in a crate that was stolen by pirates. He saves the island during his escape but unlike most heroes did not set out with the intent of doing that.
jumping up over walls in a methed out fury, taking stuff that isn't his, and chugging bottles out in the open. they should call him Lester the Los Angelino
I remember this but never knew its name! I recall how amazing and detailed the animation looked, while at the same time thinking that he was far too big on the screen for the game to be playable
As hard as this game was, I would love to see a modern day reboot. And with the survival game boom still going, it wouldn't be that hard. Have a modern teenager get lost. Stupid and alone with no electronic service, they would have to learn to survive when they can only handle a small amount of basic tasks per day. Eventually, you'll build yourself up into being able to work more, do more, and survive better. If it were a multiplayer, team based game, you could have it so people learn skills dependent on what tasks that team mate is specializing in. Eventually, you can meet a friendly tribe who, if you help them return a valued member of the tribe from Gorilla territory, teaches you more refined skills and new ones. Have them give you the information that they've been getting raided by pirates on occasion, being that the tribe knows where a gold deposit is. They won't ask for your help because they see you as unfit to do the job, but you can choose to tackle the pirates whenever you want, ready or not. I think it would be a fun, progression style game.
I remember hating this game. At first I thought the concept was hilarious playing a Tomb Raider-esque game but with a super nerd character but then I found there were too many "wtf do I do" moments. Even watching this run, I thought to myself, how would anyone think to do these things? I guess it wasn't THAT complicated...I just never gave it a fair chance. This ending though "So then what happened?" "Then this hairy spider..." THE END What?
There are a lot of crappy games but this one always stood out to me. It designed terribly, it is way too long, even the tas is nearly 15 minutes lol it's like the designers thought they had something special in the works and wanted to go all out.
I think they knew exactly what they were doing. An annoying, overly difficult game sure to be rented by kids who could never beat the game. It was designed to suck the money out of you and they knew it.

wow! this guy actually get character development after fighting Gorilla. the way he runs change.
Yeah, he's also less slouched while walking.
The power of -hardons- love is a curious thing, indeed... shame that Lester is more Brad than Chad at the end.

Why is this Joke trying to say, i don't follow
_The people watched and waited for Lester. Little did they know, however, he would not be back._
What a shit ending, I'm telling ya.
@@Trimint123 a shit ending for a shit game
Lester the Unlikely saved the world in less than 15 minutes and nobody really cares.
He really lived up to the name.
"I'd rather play CDI games like... The flowers of Robert Maplethorpe"
minutes later
"No, I wouldn't!"
At least it's better than Shaq Fu, Hong Kong 97 or Plumbers Don't Wear Ties
@@pirupami9746shaq fu is best
😴😴
@@pirupami9746 or... dare I say it... Simon's Quest
It's interesting how he is scared of everything but over time he grows braver and gains more capabilities.
Yeah i really liked the character development aspect, which you didn't see a whole lot of in older games like these
Ultimate "zero-to-hero" concept at its finest.
Darwing Adaptations, baby
this game is a case of "we do it because we can, not because we should."
the premise of this game is fantastic
So help me understand. Lester goes from being terrified of a turtle to slaughtering pirates by the dozen? I can see why they call it “Unlikely.”

Despite his wimpy appearance, Lester is likely still better than most of us in gym class.
I mean he doesn't gotta wait a single second to breathe.
4:35 lester is vibing
He got the moves
went from being afraid of turtles to stabbing guys to death
jumping up over walls in a methed out fury, taking stuff that isn't his, and chugging bottles out in the open. they should call him Lester the Los Angelino
I see, he does get a good ending.
Ironically, i wish they did another one
Cant wait for the Lester The Unlikely 5 Speedrun!
Got the bag ready?
@@MessedUpBrainspike YUP, Bombs Away!
nowadays they won't let you make games like this, because it's too risky to make something unlikely
BLM would get angry at the gorrila lmao
We got indie developers
Found the fiends
it's unlikely if this would be a good game!
It ain't. Lol

Lester the unlikely: a drunk dude stumbles through a jungle much to the amazement of everyone involved.

0:45: James suffered here
I don't know which part I find more amusing: The way the TASer goes down ladders or the way Lester drinks hand grenades laying on the ground.
7:19 Lester has a pep in his step
4:36 Ain’t nobody humpin around

Thats pretty much far cry 3
I could never make it to the gorilla boss fight. Watching this TAS actually makes me wanna play again. Lmao
4:35 he do be vibin

@@somefries3101 What about Bubsy bobcat?
@@notsyzagts7967 dude at least he doesn't look like a nerd that walks like an idiot
Oh i always wondered what thee air humping was for . it was him grabbing items!
Do you not take damage if you press down when you fall or something?
OMG It's Scott the Woz
The gorilla moans more seductively than pirates.
...wait a minute, it's Lester's moaning but lowered down!
7 :55 so he can now hold two after being confident
Who's going to quote avgn ?
James Rolfe should see this.
Lester needs to start doing some squats like @4:35 and deadlifts to fix his poor posture.
I like the dancing on the raft
His running animation looks like he's trying to swim while he runs...
Edit: ...until it changes after the Gorilla fight.
Why does his look remind me of Scott the Woz?
Where’s the Jungle Girl from the cartridge?
Lester the Fast
Ah, poor man's Prince of Persia!
I'm impressed how they managed to make an SNES game sound like a poorly-made Genesis game using the GEMS driver...
A protagonist so terrible you're rooting for the bad guys to win.
Before Jason Brody there was Lester
The Unlikely who stabs person's belly with cutlass
3:49 Me if I had to play this game.
wow hes just like me
Avgn would be proud for u beating this crap game
what's with all these TAS of Lester The Unlikely?
Is this the new hit game to speedrun?
There isn’t
A TAS speed run of one of the slowest, most pathetic characters in gaming? Yes please!
"nggh"
“Steve Urkel could whoop this guys ass!” 😂
I hope "Lester" isnt his surname name..and his first name isnt "Moe"
Lester the unlikeable
The fifth game isn’t even a game at all; it’s just a bag of shit that says “Lester the Unlikely 5” in it.
And there's lester the unlikely 6 which has been stored in a CD made out of Gorilla's diarrhea
0:10
Don't kick the turtles
the worst game ever made 👾
Whoever made this TAS God bless your soul this has to be one of the worst games ever
No wonder why AVGN couldn't finish this game off, it doesn't look fun.
A reminder this is a Japanese game making fun of American Nerds.
This game was made by an American company. We Americans can make fun of ourselves, thank you very much.
@@grantnesselroad7569 Excuse me? Why the title used to be in Japanese?

Simplemente, el peor personaje de lls videojuegos xd
Possibly the worst main char ever, who would want to play as this? Dudes kick is the most pathetic animation ever, barely nudging out his run
Terrible game
