Not really. I completed that game on the nightmare difficulty. Sure, it was tough. But I found the androids more annoying than the alien. You can drastically reduce the amount that the alien shows up just by being quiet.
Mario Kart 64 was ironically given a 6.4 by Gamespot, and they claimed it was "very likely to disappoint you after about a week." Obviously, we know that wasn't the case.
@@viewtifuljon8105it's my favorite one, personally, but if we're going by more objective measures, I would still say that it's better than the SNES and game boy advance ones, and maybe even the 3DS one as well.
The fact that critics rated alien isolation so low is a crime against humanity! That was the fourth game I ever played on my ps4 me and my girl played it in the dark and the fact that the alien was scaring her and she was hitting me out of fear I got the double whammy of terror! Still play that game to this day
It's also on every single list about ending games early. Makes sense to try and pick examples that are a bit more interesting to try and get more viewers.
Two Worlds when you first meet the final boss attack him and run into the village. Watch the NPCs kill him and then interact with his dead body. complete the game in under 3 minutes
I was hoping that The Witness would be on this list. You can beat it in less than a minute after exiting the tutorial tunnel by opening the first gate you come to.
I'm surprised that Zero Time Dilemma wasn't on this list. Not only is it a game where you can get to an ending after the first cutscene, but the game forces you to reach that ending before the rest of the game even becomes available to play.
Two more: 1. Shacked - the arcade version, there is a secret path in the very first area of the first room that takes you right to the ending. It probably takes about 15 seconds to beat. 2. Infernax - When you get off the boat in the beginning and encounter the first zombie, you can turn back to the boat and trigger an ending that shows you running away from all the danger. That maybe takes 45 seconds.
I learned about metal saga, because my friend was a game tester for it at Atlas. He hated it, but gave us a free copy. Our entire college frat house got together to try the game and immediately picked the option of being a mechanic. Watching the protagonist get such a boring ending at the very beginning of the game, we were all dying laughing, and immediately declared the game of masterpiece.
Yeah I remember choosing Mechanic just expecting the typical communist choice as so many games did back then only to have my mouth drop when I got the ending credits. I never laughed so hard in my life as well
Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town also gives you an option if you wish to continue your grandfather's legacy in the beginning and when you choose to decline, the credits will roll.
With Super Paper Mario, I would not argue that a "Game Over" screen counts as "completing the game". Otherwise you can beat the original Super Mario Bros. in under 60 seconds by running into the first goomba 3 times.
I would say two somewhat hidden gems are Jaws Unleashed and Scarface on Xbox OG. Maybe I'm blind by nostalgia but I thoroughly enjoyed both as a child and no one else seemed to like them
There was a review by IGN years ago about Mugen Souls, when it transpired the reviewer didn't even have the trophy for starting the game. It was not a good review... Hyperdimension Neptunia Victory has a trophy for starting the game that takes a pop at this in the flavour text.
While Idea Factory & Compile Heart do deserve the reputation for reusing the same engine and gameplay loops in almost every single game they make, the Nep games certainly don't hold back when it comes to 4th-wall jabs and references.
Inescapeable is a utterly fascinating visual novel that has a metacritic in the 50s, I find it interesting because the kind of game that you think you are playing becomes that kind of game. For instance, if you are distrustful of people it becomes a murder mystery, if you try to spend your time with all the sexy characters, it becomes game very fanservice-y game, and if you tried to complete minigames to their fullest, it becomes a competition between the characters.
GameInformer’s Mario Party 1 & 2 reviews are absolute gold when you look at them more than just the plaque Nintendo sent them as a thank you. Their aggregate score for the first game was a 3.5/10, but this was based on 3 separate reviews they made. One of these rated it a 2.25/10 for being (and I quote) “extremely boring and more of a chore than anything else” (he rated it a .25/10 for playability and entertainment). Another rated it 2.5/10 and called it “'Satan' and 'Torture.'” Mario Party 2 faired better, but received a 5.25/10. One of the 3 reviewers for GameInformer wrote that “anyone who purchases this game is mentally deficient.” He did make a good point that the game was very much reliant on luck. Another reviewer wrote that, like the first game, “this release brings out the devil in me as well.” He rated it a 5.75/10, compared to his 2.25/10 for the first game
_A Link to the Past_ also has a similar quick win as Spyro where you clip through the walls in the castle and blind walk your way to the Triforce ending cutscene.
In the PS2 title, Soul Nomad & the World Eaters, your protagonist is possessed by an ancient evil named Gig. Very early on in the game is a “supposed to lose” fight against one of Gig’s minions (the titular World Eaters) but Gig gives you the opportunity to win if you give him full control of your body and…yeah, that’s not a good idea, but it DOES get you to an ending a heck of a lot faster!
I would like to point out that Metal Saga, that ending? It's as long as the 'real' endings the game offers(There's technically two, though one is after the other). Maybe even longer honestly, and more detailed. That said, yes, some of that is the listing of things found in the game...like the doggie with a gun on its back. Which is adorable...and sadly it can't drive a tank so it slowly loses out to those metal monsters for which the game is named.
With path of neo, if you complete the game on easiest mode, you can redo the last mission on hardest difficulty and unlock all the cheats without having to play the whole game again
I had it, as well as "Monty Python's Complete Waste of Time." They're both delightful, but "Holy Grail" especially (though you have to do some very specific things in order to get the bodice, and if you didn't, you had to restart).
Woah what! When did Jules leave what culture?! I must have missed something 😮💨 but good to hear you back for Tuesyourownadventure! Glad the algorithm brought me this nice tidbit!
@martinde-serres8724 so edgy! Have you even finished it? It's actually pretty original, bike and hoard systems are completely new, basically the only post apocalypse game with color, no zombies in it.
Axiom verge was reviewed terribly by IGN. I'm not sure even if they played it ...... As for games you can finish quick besides a ton of Atari 2600 games, there's The Legend of Zelda: A link to the past that you can beat in about two minutes. Also speed runners have got King's Quest 1 for the PC down to about a minute! You should check that out. The "zips" are next level.
I have to give an honorable mention to Chrono Trigger which has multiple endings. The quickest one is achieved by dieing in battle. The game fast forwards about 1000 years, and the world more or less ends. The crazy thing is that this is technically what's "supposed to" happen.
Herzog Zwei for the Sega Genesis, one of the very first FPS games ever made. Hated by critics, especially EGM. Too far ahead of its time. Now considered a classic.
Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub Zero is actually a great action adventure game with interesting puzzles and an interesting storyline and good cut-scenes, BUT: (1) you have to play the PS version (the N64 version can't show the video cut-scenes), (2) you have to remap the controls to make sense (the default settings are terrible), (3) you have to enter the cheat code for 1000 lives because the game is full of instakill booby traps that ruin the game when combined with limited lives, AND (4) you have to play on at least "Normal" difficulty, or you miss half the game. Do these four things, and it's not just playable--it's downright good.
There was also Shadow Complex. Righr after the protagonist's girlfriend is captured, you can just get back into the car. He'll drive off saying it wasn't worth the risk. The player DOES miss out on a really good game by doing so.
Monty Python and the Holy Grail? "I fart in your general direction! Your Mother was a Hamster, and your Father smelt, of Elderberries" (John Cleese with a bad French accent)
What’s odd with Metal Saga is that, the end of the game involves you stopping the evil AI from killing every human left on the planet, so it’s sort of a mystery how you would live very long as a mechanic.
What the Fudge?!? I just went from watching Jules on another channel to stumbling upon this video on a channel I've never watched before. He's everywhere!!!
Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric. Why? because after they fixed a few big bugs, it was a fairly decent game to play. I kinda dislike the fact that games like No Man's Sky and Cyberpunk get praise after initial bugs are seen, laughed at, fixed but then forgotten, but Sonic Boom gets flack even after the biggest of the bugs get fixed like the infinite Knuckles jump, just because it's Sonic. I'm not a Sonic fanboy, I just wanted to see what all the fuss was about with the game and found it to be quite a delightful romp tbh.
My favorite quick win game is The Legend Of Zelda A Link To The Past, not a feature but a glitch allows you to jump in the castle, reset, back to the castle, get hit to the first floor out of bounds, up a screen, right one screen and keep going up and end credits
Yep lol I won a sack of weed from a friend about 20 yrs ago cuz he had it on super Nintendo and I bet him I could start it and finish on under 5 mins and he took that bet.
Never played the Monty Python game, but after seeing it on the list, that wasn't what I expected, I was expecting you could select one of the grail knights as a player character, including Sir Not Appearing In This Film
Farcry 4 and Farcry 5 both had ways of ending the games shortly after starting them. In 4 you don't leave Pagan Min's dining room and in 5 you don't arrest Joseph Seed.
It's okay, and has some decent stuff in it, plus Fragile and Cliff, who are the best parts of the game. MGS4 sucked. I played 8 to 10 hours, but I watched 14 hours of cutscenes.
Suggestion for great game with crap reviews: Days Gone. Because of a slow start, it was written off as a dull zombie wannabe, but once you start encountering hordes, it turned into one of the whitest knuckle gaming experiences ever. And a beautiful open world to explore too. Such a shame the follow up got cancelled because of its initial poor performance. A real gem.
I'm not sure about this list. You haven't finished a game just because it sends you back the main screen. To 'finish' a game, you at least need to see the end credits, see the final cut-scene or beat the end boss. Paper Mario for example, you got the Game Over screen, then sent back to the Start screen. Game Over is NOT completing a game!
I remember back in like 2012 my buddy let me borrow his copy of enter the dragonfly because I was so astounded that that was his first experience with Spyro so in exchange I lent him my copies of the PS1 games and when I booted up enter the dragonfly mind you I played it at release, I completely by accident clipped into the ripto final boss and yeah,, very well may have been a world record contender
Taking the blue pill or refusing to save the world in Paper Mario is not finishing the game. If that were the definition of finishing a game, then I could finish any game in seconds by just dying ASAP, like jumping off the first cliff I come across. But what that does is END the game, and that's not the same as finishing the game, because in both cases you don't see an ending or credits.
I'm certain Deadly Premonition is already on the list, so I'll say Killer 7 instead. Not only was this game panned by critics at the time it first came out, but it's re-release was also panned for being a worse version of the original! It can't win!
Days Gone is one of the greatest games on PS4 (and it plays even better on PS5!). The early reviews were lazy and didn't reflect the true quality of the game, and it undersold... now, the chances of a Days Gone II are virtually zero as the creative team have left Bend Studio. Such a travesty!!!
Pokemon scarlet and violet, I played it on day one and it was amazing. And hearing people complain about a buggy open world is like hearing people annoyed by heat in the summer. All open world games have game breaking bugs it is what it is
Pokemon Scarlet is the first Pokemon game that I have not only bought but that I also completed since *RUBY*. I didn't buy every single Main line Pokemon game in between, but Scarlet was the only one that didn't feel like the exact same game.
Alien Isolation was amazing, but critics said the alien AI made it too hard and stressful...I think they missed the point.
Ah, video game critics. Let us never forget the IGN Cuphead review!
@@kristoferscott3373 They rated it 8.8/10, that seems perfectly reasonable to me.
@@breakinggreens thats a redacted reveiw. They went back after a couple years and changed it to how it should be
The fact the alien can hear you through your microphone is an insane mechanic
Not really.
I completed that game on the nightmare difficulty.
Sure, it was tough.
But I found the androids more annoying than the alien.
You can drastically reduce the amount that the alien shows up just by being quiet.
Mario Kart 64 was ironically given a 6.4 by Gamespot, and they claimed it was "very likely to disappoint you after about a week." Obviously, we know that wasn't the case.
Yeah there are some absolutely ridiculous reviews for games that are totally not true
It's the worst Mario Kart. I generally stuck to F-Zero on the 64.
@@Adam-M- 64 is still my favorite Mario kart to this day
@@viewtifuljon8105it's my favorite one, personally, but if we're going by more objective measures, I would still say that it's better than the SNES and game boy advance ones, and maybe even the 3DS one as well.

Really? No Far Cry 4? That’s probably one of the best early endings in videogames ever!
It's also on every single list about ending games early. Makes sense to try and pick examples that are a bit more interesting to try and get more viewers.
Also takes a while to do. As you have to wait for him to return.
This channel makes lists of games that are rarely or never on lists
The record for Far Cry 4 is 25 minutes (14 without cutscenes), so not really a game for this list.
You have to wait an hour not seconds I think?
Two Worlds when you first meet the final boss attack him and run into the village. Watch the NPCs kill him and then interact with his dead body. complete the game in under 3 minutes
While technically not under a min, the short endings in the Far Cry games are pretty funny 😂
I was hoping that The Witness would be on this list. You can beat it in less than a minute after exiting the tutorial tunnel by opening the first gate you come to.
Came here to say the same! Amazing design how easy and impossible at the same time it is to finish the game at the beginning
I'm surprised that Zero Time Dilemma wasn't on this list. Not only is it a game where you can get to an ending after the first cutscene, but the game forces you to reach that ending before the rest of the game even becomes available to play.
I came here to see if anyone was gonna mention this!

Story of seasons: a wonderful life does too lol
Metal Saga did this too, if you choose to stay home and become a mechanic instead of going out to adventure in your tank.
Mad Max comes to mind as a game that got a bit of a raw deal but was solid if not derivative.
Prey (2017) by arcane. One of the best games I have ever played and it was really hit with a terrible review by IGN at launch
This
Now Jules has to cut the mightiest tree in the forest with a herring after collecting 2 shrubberies.
Marios Game.Over acreen is more a death screen than an ending in the traditional sense really if you think about it.
With Super Paper Mario, I would not argue that a "Game Over" screen counts as "completing the game". Otherwise you can beat the original Super Mario Bros. in under 60 seconds by running into the first goomba 3 times.

Video game terribly reviewed by critics "GOD HAND"
FarCry 6 has a similar "shortcut" ending, once you pass the tutorial opening. Hop on the boat and leave instead of fighting for the cause.
_A Link to the Past_ also has a similar quick win as Spyro where you clip through the walls in the castle and blind walk your way to the Triforce ending cutscene.

God Hand. That 3/10 score that IGN gave it forever doomed its popularity.
IGN sucks anyway, I'm sure they get paid to over-score any PS exclusive game.

can't believe super mario world didn't make the list. current world record is around 45 seconds
Going to the end credits is not technically finishing the game. Just like going to the end credits of a movie is not watching a movie.
🤔
Hey Jules,
What are 10 Terrible Games made better by DLC??
Sims 4. Its not terrible but it's a lot better with literally just the seasons expansion
With path of neo, if you complete the game on easiest mode, you can redo the last mission on hardest difficulty and unlock all the cheats without having to play the whole game again

One of Sweden's biggest newspaper gave Tekken 3 the lowest possible score because you could kick someone who was down.
Great game reviewed terribly by critics is definitely Days Gone.
Nah, Days Gone deserves all the terrible reviews for how boring and generic it is: open world zombie game #5678 lol
@martinde-serres8724 so edgy! Have you even finished it? It's actually pretty original, bike and hoard systems are completely new, basically the only post apocalypse game with color, no zombies in it.
Days Gone is one of my top 10 favorite all time!
10 games that everybody but me loves. For me Shadow of the Collossus is number 1
I would make a little difference between "finishing the game" by completing it, or skipping it.
And "getting an instant game over" as punishment.
Axiom verge was reviewed terribly by IGN. I'm not sure even if they played it ......
As for games you can finish quick besides a ton of Atari 2600 games, there's The Legend of Zelda: A link to the past that you can beat in about two minutes. Also speed runners have got King's Quest 1 for the PC down to about a minute! You should check that out. The "zips" are next level.
I'm shocked Zelda a link to the past isn't in here. Thanks you a glitch you can beat the game in minutes.
ahh yes the princess ledge save allowing to glitch through the wall and walk straight to the tri force
If you have god like TAS hands... you can beat Super Mario 3 in about 4 frames.
alpha protocol which was fair since it was pretty buggy but the actual story and characters were awesome
I absolutely LOVE Alpha Protocol. One of my favorites!

Dark Souls- it was bombarded with negative reviews because critics couldn’t beat the Asylum Demon
Seriously? The boss at the end of the tutorial? I sucked hardcore at DS (gave up on the first two skeletons after the prologue) but even I beat that.
@@tubensalat1453 I think everyone fell into that trap, it’s game design perfection, DS wants and forces the player to travel upwards, not down.
To be fair, any game can be completed in seconds, Even if its just ALOT of seconds
Herzog Zwei for the Sega Genesis, one of the very first FPS games ever made. Hated by critics, especially EGM. Too far ahead of its time. Now considered a classic.
Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub Zero is actually a great action adventure game with interesting puzzles and an interesting storyline and good cut-scenes, BUT: (1) you have to play the PS version (the N64 version can't show the video cut-scenes), (2) you have to remap the controls to make sense (the default settings are terrible), (3) you have to enter the cheat code for 1000 lives because the game is full of instakill booby traps that ruin the game when combined with limited lives, AND (4) you have to play on at least "Normal" difficulty, or you miss half the game.

If you play bad enough you can finish any game in seconds. You just almost always get the worst ending.
Farcry 4 and Farcry 5 both had ways of ending the games shortly after starting them. In 4 you don't leave Pagan Min's dining room and in 5 you don't arrest Joseph Seed.
Pokemon Yellow also has a glitch where you can skip directly to the end credits.
How about Achievements you get for starting up game for the first time or just pressing start?
Death stranding, always rated as a walking simulator with no story when it was kojimas greatest work since sons of the patriots
It's okay, and has some decent stuff in it, plus Fragile and Cliff, who are the best parts of the game.
MGS4 sucked. I played 8 to 10 hours, but I watched 14 hours of cutscenes.
Still haven't played looked like the most boring game play them again I never seen a playthrough or gave it a chance.
I do own it on PC thx to epic giving out free game so maybe I should try it
First thing that came to mind with bad reviews for good games was "too much water" if you know you know
Did not know this about Fractured But Whole. So awesome hahahaha😂
It took me way too long to figure out how to play Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
Days gone would be my pick for games that were awesome that did not do well on reviews. I don't know why, but I thought the game was amazing
I thought I recognized the voice. I did. Wasn't aware Jules was on a new channel.
I loved The Holy Grail! Fond memories.
Metal Gear 5 - Received over the top rave reviews considering the game clearly needed another year in development to give it an actual story.
It takes longer than these, but Far Cry 5 always comes to mind in these scenarios

Far cry 4. The only way to get the good ending is to actually wait 15 mins when min tells you to wait.
I'm not sure about this list. You haven't finished a game just because it sends you back the main screen. To 'finish' a game, you at least need to see the end credits, see the final cut-scene or beat the end boss.
Paper Mario for example, you got the Game Over screen, then sent back to the Start screen. Game Over is NOT completing a game!
I think 'skip game button' games should be handled seperately from games where you actually have to do something in the game.
you can also beat Far cry 4 in like 15 mins

One of my favourites I’ve played is matrix path of Neo take the blue pill and that’s it end of the game instantly
The pokemon games are my favourite for any % super quick speedrun lol
Far Cry 4 deserves a spot on here, if you know, you know.
I believe GTA SA had a glitch that allowed you to skip to the last mission
Eee! Crisp high five right back at ya, Jules. You’re a massive ledge! ❤
I don't remember if it was reviewed poorly or if it was the fan reaction but my favorite poorly received game is final fantasy 13.
Shadow complex had a quick ending of you chose not to save the woman.
You can beat pokemon blue red and yellow in minutes if you use a useful glitch
Taking the blue pill or refusing to save the world in Paper Mario is not finishing the game.

One of the gamecube resident evils can be beat in minutes. Idr which one i think it was veronica x?
To be fair, you can finish ANY game in seconds. Just depends how many seconds.
Super Mario World can also be besten in under 1 minute with RAM manipulation and using 4 controllers and some clamps 🥲
I'm certain Deadly Premonition is already on the list, so I'll say Killer 7 instead. Not only was this game panned by critics at the time it first came out, but it's re-release was also panned for being a worse version of the original! It can't win!
Going to try this on the spyro 👍
Days Gone is one of the greatest games on PS4 (and it plays even better on PS5!). The early reviews were lazy and didn't reflect the true quality of the game, and it undersold... now, the chances of a Days Gone II are virtually zero as the creative team have left Bend Studio. Such a travesty!!!
Phantasy Star 3 can be ended quickly too.
Sonic superstars was horribly reviewed by critics.. awesome game. A tier at least
i prefer games like the 5th and 7, Island Hoppers is the best one ever🔥
clocktower first fear I think ending E with the car you can get in a minute with quick start
What about Farcry 4? You can beat that in under 5 minutes.
Pokemon scarlet and violet, I played it on day one and it was amazing. And hearing people complain about a buggy open world is like hearing people annoyed by heat in the summer. All open world games have game breaking bugs it is what it is
Pokemon Scarlet is the first Pokemon game that I have not only bought but that I also completed since *RUBY*.
I didn't buy every single Main line Pokemon game in between, but Scarlet was the only one that didn't feel like the exact same game.
