    Widely considered the worst Xbox game of all time, very few people have experienced Drake's infamy first hand. One of those few is ProJared.

    I’ve only realised this now, but Drake of the 99 Dragons is everything that executives thought was popular in the 90’s and 00’s, which of course was absolutely nothing close to what consumers wanted, because that’s how executives are.

    • @retrogamelover2012

      Yeah, let's be honest here. Executives couldn't be more out-of-touch with the world around them, if they literally lived on the moon.

      Hell, I tend to have a more easy-going attitude when it comes to long-running franchises, because I've seen time and time again, that it's ultimately one of the more healthier mind-sets to have.

  • @twofacetoo75
    @twofacetoo75 ปีที่แล้ว +51

    Y'know the worst part is, Drake dying and waking up in random places is actually a great idea for a sandbox game with rogue-like elements
    You're wandering around, doing a quest, then get killed. You need to wait several hours (in-game) for your body to heal, so you wake up suddenly and you're in a morgue somewhere... because they found a random dead guy in the streets and that's what they do with random dead guys they find in the streets.
    So you bust out of the morgue, collect up your weapons again, get going and bam, dead again, this time you wake up in the ambulance on the way to the hospital, and manage to bust out but find you're already several in-game miles away from your destination.
    That idea itself is actually really solid... it's just a shame it's trapped in a terrible game like this.

      Seamus Stanley Sure! They lose because they’re so ashamed! I mean, with the new Smash Bros. coming out in December, including over 60 characters, including Ridley, Ryu, and Bayonetta, why not put a terrible game character in there too! Not calling Ryu, Ridley or Bayonetta terrible, just saying.

I could totally see it: take the gunplay and combos of Bayonetta, the speed of Vanquish, and use the magic planned for Spellbound, and we could get a good Drake of the 99 Dragons remake.

      I heard they had like only six months to develop the game. The game had so much potential, even for a multimedia series, to be honest. If they hadn't stuck with the stupid limit they were given, it could have become a franchise I would have certainly enjoyed.

    "Hurr durr it's Reaper"
    Shut up. Both characters are based off of late 90s/early 00s action films like Underworld and The Matrix. It's one thing to make one or two comparisons, but some of you seem to think Reaper is based on Drake. There's more to life than Overwatch, no matter how fun the game is.

    • @DuskEalain
      @DuskEalain 8 ปีที่แล้ว +13

      Reaper isn't taken at all seriously, and is one of the poster-characters for the game. So it wouldn't surprise me if they were saying this to _insult_ Overwatch.
      But yeah I got both character's references pretty quickly.
