Sometimes I like to see what a change in dialogue could do to a bad game. For instance, in this one I would have started off with something like "10000 years ago the 99 Dragons clan was entrusted with guarding the soul portal artifact, a gate to the spirit world. But guarding something does not pay the bills, and it turns out the same skills needed to guard something makes you good and attacking someone. So we became assassins. Some work by stealth, some work slowly. Me, they call on me when they want a lot of noise and don't care about collateral damage. I'm not very subtle, but I enjoy my work. I am Drake." There you go. Back story and establishing this guy as a block of muscle. Then later when facing attacking a building you could have had him say "Normally on this kind of job I'd have a team of my clan behind me. We could attack from different directions or do a full frontal attack with many guns. But my Clan is dead. Doing this work solo requires special techniques. I don't know them. All I have is my guns, and my Tattoo. I hope it's enough. Time to start learning." So you give a reason why this guy is an idiot. You see he is lost without his clan, and he is vulnerable. That could have made the meathead likeable. But NOOOOOO, we have to have the arrogant idiot and solo muscle. Waste of potential of what could have been an interesting story of character growth and stuff. Ah well.
It is truly astounding how much better the stpry would be with those two changes. It'd give Drake an actual character arc and set up his character for the intended franchise.
What a nice Christmas present from Jadow: a review of one of the worst games of all time. As a guy who wants to publish a book, the story is the biggest sin to me (you know, aside from the game being a hundred different kinds of broken). Behind the lame characters, plot points that go nowhere, clichés and utter lack of explanation, there is a story that WANTS to be told, but no one knew HOW to tell it.
Clichés are fine if used sparingly. I've also come up with narratives in the past, though I plan to make them serialized and have an anime-style look to them, since I've also designed various characters, though it originally started out as an excuse for me to draw anime girls which then developed my interest in writing narratives behind my artwork.
Are you sure about that? Drake only survives through sheer dumb luck. Any sane deity would have ditched the imbecile the moment he threw himself out of the window
Hanamaru Kunikida I mean this is really stupid. Bubsy 3D is 3D. 3D and almost nothing else. This… is what you present as a midterm project, your FIRST 3D project…
Hunt Down The Freeman was the worst first-person shooter I've ever played. Drake of the 99 Dragons is the worst _third_-person shooter I've ever played.
If 'dying repeatedly and doing basically nothing useful the entire game' is the Master's idea of utterly amazing 'skill and presence', I'd hate to see what the opposite end of the spectrum looks like.
"Wait, you actually accomplished something and made it all the way here without dying once? I'm so disappointed in you. That Tatto I made was a waste."
I've seen like five guys review this game, and I still can't believe this game exists. It's like Donnie Yen took a huge liquid shit onto the screen of an xbox
Considering that Drake dual-wields firearms in a trench-coat, I get the feeling that Drake of the 99 Dragons was trying to cash-in on the success of the likes of Max Payne and The Matrix, but fail to understand what made those work so well.
Whatever the case, it's all a mess of cliché tough guy, edgy antihero, and action movie tropes that fail to offer anything interesting much less enjoyable.
@@Darklordjadow1 hello darklordjadow1 I'm a big fan of your channel was wondering if you could review kingdom hearts the story so far and later on kingdom hearts 3 palese and thank u
It’s weird how this game had such a cool premise, yet it fails on every level. This could’ve been a really awesome new IP. But nope. It’s an awful game. If they were to give this game a hard reboot like they did with Shaq-Fu, then maybe it would actually gain some traction.
Highlights: Jadow having trouble killing the tutorial cyborg. His death montage ending with Jadow screaming at the end. (Even funnier when you slow it down.) Jadow realizing that he has to charge into the enemies to get anywhere. Trying to jump out! Stuck on scenery! Jadow's reaction to Drake charging himself out the window. He is too dumb to live indeed. Brilliant! (Appears when the enemies can't reach Drake cause they are too dumb to go around the ramp. Who are Serpent-Eye and Pock? "How is it possible that the Master has a even worst voice than Drake?"
It seems to be the most common thing with games like this. A series built up to be the next big thing, with all kinds of stuff like movies, shows, and so on in plan when the game isn't even out yet...and then it comes out and sinks every single one of those plans.
1:55 OH MY GOD........THE TRENCH COAT, THE THROWING THE GUNS AWAY AND PULLING OUT MORE INFINITELY THE FIXATION ON, AND OBSESSION WITH DEATH........THIS IS WHERE THE INSPIRATION FOR REAPER FROM OVERWATCH CAME FROM ISNT IT?!?!?!........😧😲
I've found a digitized comic copy. It isn't any better, but it somewhat explains things a little clearer, although not perfectly. Here's the link: lparchive.org/Drake-of-the-99-Dragons/Comic/
Yo, Dartz was OP with all those life points he had! And those field spells were broken as hell, as you have to destroy the current one in order to place a new one unless the 2 other seals were just ordinary continuous spells.
Yeah, when the Seal of Orichalcos was released in real life years later, it was nerfed into being pretty much useless. Besides the fact that by then, the Seal was pretty much useless.
Fun fact, during my playthrough of this game, I actually found out that the easiest way to defeat the cyborg during the tutorial level is to constantly run away from him as you fire at him. (No jumping involved.) This is due to the fact that the cyborg has to stop in his tracks every time he does his attacking animation, which allows you to simply back away from it.
Well, Jadow... you did it. You defeated one of the most powerful Worst Games to ever be created. You've made your ancestors proud. You deserve a good game. What d'you say about Max Payne? Edit: I ask about Max Payne due to the fact that it's what Drake of the 99 Dragons was supposed to be. Kind of.
When the training level causes a game over to happen......you know you are in for a bad time. Also, I love Darts. He's one of my favorite YuGiOh villains. Season 4 was a very good season.
6:53 - 7:50 As a long time fan, that part made me realize exactly how far you've come and I'm still here watching ya do your reviews Keep going my friend and happy new year/christmas
I actually bought a used original Xbox with this game and Need For Speed: Most Wanted in an system double deal at Gamestop. I saw that when I got the deal, it was only 89 cents by itself. (That should've been a red flag in itself). I was so appalled by it, I smashed it into thousand pieces, burned it in the microwave, and finally threw it in the trash. (Yes, I smashed it before I burned it; brutal but effective). By destroying that game, I think the world a favor. I hope.
This is something that Randy Pitchferd that did Colonial Marines would write. Only more broken than before that doesn't know how to spell tether correctly in program and given 7 weeks to complete said game
Though I don’t know about the cartoon if it would work as a dark show for kids in the early 2000’s. As an anime it would but a western show would be tough.
@@shcdemolisher The visual design is the only really good thing about the game... and the devs apparently admitted in an interview that they were intentionally ripping off Batman the Animated Seriesnfor the visuals.
@@shcdemolisher the 2000s were home to two very well-known dark "kid" shows: Samurai Jack and Invader Zim. Both shows featured elements similar to what Drake and the 99 Dragons had to offer, so this game wouldn't stand out from those. Then again, there were plenty of adult cartoon shows that were either very popular or have very dedicated cult followings around the same time, so this series would be better off being pitched to Adult Swim or MTV instead of whatever network the creators were pitching to.
It is not that the hit detection is worse in the pc version, it is that on the pc version they removed the auto aim that made so drake would automatically aim at the enemy making him hit way more.
Yeah; I did eventually hit on other reasons my bullets weren't landing hits. The arm animation is janky and the camera control is choppy even with the mouse sensitivity cranked up.
@@Darklordjadow1 yeah and the reason this port is so bad is that the original xbox ran on a windows operational sistem so bad developers instead of making a competent port would just shove the xbox version on a cd and sell it.
I looked at a screenshot of the XBOX version of this game and Majesco actually trademarked the Freeze Motion ability. The only thing I like about this game is the music, especially the credits music.
I remember playing this on the original Xbox, and it certainly was a misguided affair. I feel like the concept is interesting, it's just that the entire thing (both story and gameplay) is rushed.
Vert Leanbox Not to mention the gameplay is so laughably bad, and it really sucks how any abilities you use just seem to work against you, like the slowing time down thing where it slows you down as well. Even Blinx the Time Sweeper is a better game than this. It's nice to meet you btw and Merry Christmas too.
I also had that problem with the characters. The game treats it like your already supposed to know who all these characters are or what the world does or the stuff you have does. This is the first time we hear about this stuff. They can't expect us to know about them.
So what we have here is a tie-in to a comic/animated series that would have existed if the game based on it was successful, who would thought the 6th gen had it's own Cheetahmen/Bubsy.
You know.. I legit had an idea about how to make Drake of the 99 Dragons good.... albeit the first one being.. have a better control scheme and not glitchy as hell.. as well as MUCH better gameplay.. maybe more like Uncharted, but I also thought of a way to make the story much more coherent.. Have it be an ORIGIN STORY. Talk about how the world they live in came to be, like maybe in this world.. Asia is more of a powerhouse during this time and it MILES AHEAD of technology and shit.. Introduce Drake as this loner vigilante who acts about as edgy as he does in the game, but its actually a veil to cover up self-loathing issues as he believes that he's not very good at anything other than being violent.. Than during a failed mission he's saved by this master, nurses him back to life, have him go through training throughout the years as he gets better at assassination skills, the mythology of the 99 dragon clan, have only TANG be the bad guy here, maybe he's a former member of the 99 dragons who decided to take all their teachings and use them for personal gain and it left him with an endless taste for power.. which eventually leads to him wanting to take over the world.. and Drake still learning to accept and respect himself, confront some dark aspect of his past, he eventually becomes the hero the world needs... albeit anti-her and having to hide from coppers.. Maybe Drake can be a little snarky and cynical and his 'edgy' persona he puts on is constantly made fun of by the other characters.. even his dumbass 'out of this world' catchphrase is poked fun at.. And near the ending of the game, Drake unknowingly taps into his tattoo power to stop Tang from whatever plan he's doing, finally learning to accept/forgive himself for that dark past.. and his name being heard of throughout the land.. as the assassin who hunts down the worst of the worst.. that he is.. 'DRAKE OF THE 99 DRAGONS'.. but that's how I"d do it. And than if the good game did well enough, make sequels, spin off stuff.. that cartoon for 'ADULT SWIM' cause well.. all this would not suit for children stuff.. make the comic series.. and introduce the rest of Drake's rogues one by one.. introduce them properly, good backstories, reasons for having powers and shit.. BOOM.. instant success..
I counted 5 deaths in-story, but if Drake had to die off-screen to bring the Master's body or soul to the Serene Garden that'd bring his total up to 7. If you mean deaths during gameplay, well there's no way of counting that.
I highly recommend you get an original Xbox, they're not too expensive, highly modifiable to put emulators with thousands of games on the hardware, and collecting games for it is pretty cheap at the moment. There's a lot of really good games on it, such as KotoR 1 & 2, Prince of Persia: Sands of Time, Ninja Gaiden and Black, an FPS made by EA back when they weren't evil.
thanx for the xmas video buddy. really love your gaming videos & looking forward to seeing you play more garbage games in 2019 😊😊 But.........i'd love to see you play something decent for a change. maybe just pick one of your favourite games & tell us why you enjoy it. have an awesome xmas & thanks for all your efforts 😊😊
New subscriber here Really loving your content Years ago I remember seeing this game in a bargain/clearance bin, at the time I thought it seemed cool but I didn't have an XBox. Pushed it aside to find Gungrave: Overdose (PS2) under it. Dodged a bullet there!
so, DarklordJadow1, how long til you can get to review "Fallout 76"? I know it WILL be a while since its price is still kinda prohibitive for that but I'll be waiting for it... and for .EXE's invasion to your station when "Sonic '06" gets its turn to be put thru "Jadow's Force-Choke"!
Actually, the claim that the game was only developed in six months might not be true. If you’re interested, here’s a link to an interview with a QA tester for the game (which I found neat): www.badgamehalloffame.com/blog/interview-andrew-bado/
Show of hands, who would rather see the entire #OutofthisWorld sitcom than to play Drake of the 99 Dragons? (Am I the only one who remembers Out of this World? )
this may seem like the worst game to go on steam, but its not, Daikatana is, its on steam, sadly i actually have it on my watchlist, i wont get it until i can find out how to patch it
Yeesh. There were actually plans to make a franchise out of this. Anyway, Merry Christmas, Jadow. May the games you find under your tree be better than this.
Darklordjadow1 Ok, I forgot about Hercules and Hunchback of Notre Dame, those movies weren’t quite as popular as some of the other Disney movies but regardless it’s been ages since I’ve watched a Disney movie.

There's a lot of really good games on it, such as KotoR 1 & 2, Prince of Persia: Sands of Time, Ninja Gaiden and Black, an FPS made by EA back when they weren't evil.
Review the Spiderman ps4 dlc story
22:00 son of a Glitch
Merry Christmas, Jadow! Thank you for suffering through this game!
at least the shooting in call of duty is better and didn't become a franchise like ride to hell also merry Christmas jadow
Talk about Headless Kamikaze (from Serious Sam) logic in playing this game..
MERRY CHRISTMAS JADOW! 😁
Love your videos and content
I was wondering what happened to the Bionicle dude.
6:24 to 6:49, I never thought I see the words Game Over that many times in 21 seconds... this game is a mess.
This thing is on PC!? Damn O_o
I've been watching your stuff for a while, but this review finally convinced me to properly subscribe. Good work Jadow.
Quite sure the original Tomb Raider for DOS handles shooting while jumping better than this 2003 game
Praise God, Santa and Jesus! You actually did make a review of this infamous game. And Merry Christmas btw.
This is the worst Max Payne game ever
the fact that this game gets any comparison to Max Payne is giving this turd more praise than it deserves, lol.
thanx for the xmas video buddy. really love your gaming videos & looking forward to seeing you play more garbage games in 2019 😊😊
But.........i'd love to see you play something decent for a change. maybe just pick one of your favourite games & tell us why you enjoy it.
have an awesome xmas & thanks for all your efforts 😊😊
The Drake of the 99 Dragons bus broke down before it even started.
Really funny review, Jadow!! I hope you had a great Christmas! 🎄😂👍
New subscriber here
Really loving your content
Years ago I remember seeing this game in a bargain/clearance bin, at the time I thought it seemed cool but I didn't have an XBox.
Pushed it aside to find Gungrave: Overdose (PS2) under it.
Dodged a bullet there!
It hurts already
Merry Xmas, friend! Thanks for the video.
Could you review spiderman 2 for pc?
Was that strategy you used to break through the levels worked on the tutorial or was the level too broken for even that to work?
Just saw that you uploaded, guess I'm staying up for another 30 minutes.
Tis the season to be jollllly... fa... lala... lalalalallalalalalla.
well that blows
Great review, as always. Merry Christmas, bro!
I HAD to click this as soon as it came up on my Notifications.
Why doe Drake not have pupils?
Talk about a Matrix wannabe with a laundry list of issues. I’m glad I never played it twice
Given the gameplay, Drake of the 99 Dragons is more closer to Max Payne
so, DarklordJadow1, how long til you can get to review "Fallout 76"? I know it WILL be a while since its price is still kinda prohibitive for that but I'll be waiting for it...
and for .EXE's invasion to your station when "Sonic '06" gets its turn to be put thru "Jadow's Force-Choke"!
I really don't have any interest in Fallout 76; the live service survival game thing just isn't my bag.
1:04-1:19 I will never not laugh at that.
Actually, the claim that the game was only developed in six months might not be true. If you’re interested, here’s a link to an interview with a QA tester for the game (which I found neat): www.badgamehalloffame.com/blog/interview-andrew-bado/
The Order 1886 and Mighty No.9 should've looked at this game and learn not to sell the franchise before the first game comes out.
Also Cheetahmen, Bubsy and ride to hell. Sadly as time goes on some lessons are never learned.
6:18 I think the developer's answer is... you don't.
I like how when you get a Game Over, the time still runs!! Shit, this game is terrible!
Show of hands, who would rather see the entire #OutofthisWorld sitcom than to play Drake of the 99 Dragons?
(Am I the only one who remembers Out of this World? )
This is the funniest video ever
I wish I could double- or triple-like this video! You deserve it after all your suffering!
this may seem like the worst game to go on steam, but its not, Daikatana is, its on steam, sadly i actually have it on my watchlist, i wont get it until i can find out how to patch it
Yeesh. There were actually plans to make a franchise out of this.
Anyway, Merry Christmas, Jadow. May the games you find under your tree be better than this.
Merry Christmas man
This was such a good review of this legendary bad game
The talking statues are ripped off from Mulan.
Oh, okay. I was thinking Hercules or Hunchback of Notre Dame.
It has been forever since I've seen Mulan... or any of them, really.
Darklordjadow1
Ok, I forgot about Hercules and Hunchback of Notre Dame, those movies weren’t quite as popular as some of the other Disney movies but regardless it’s been ages since I’ve watched a Disney movie.
@@ryanhutchinson4467 No you were right the first time. The statues ripped off Mulan.
The Quiet Man is your new worst game over sequence isn't it?
I'm curious as to how many games also come close to being the worst.
this game main character is a lamer version of scud
im certain that disposable assassin
would do better
Happy Holidays Jadow, lets play a shitty game
Edit:
Why didn't they just make him a Zombie that has an has an inner monologue?
I think the statues and the spirit world are ripping off Mulan
No it's Hunchback of Notre Dam
@@ambroseburnside1950 I don't see it.

Always follow the advice of talking Lego.
