09.08.2022As a Metroid fan, I actually do have a lot of kind things to say about Other M, or at least about what Other M was trying to be. I really liked the effort to emphasize story and character, and will die on the hill that if just a few key moments had been handled a little differently, it could have been great.

08.08.2022Have they done a list of games where EVERYONE plays the same "Class/Character/Weapons" because it's either Over Powered or everything else is Complete Trash?

08.08.2022I know a lot of people think Kingdoms of Amalur is good but many people don't like it so I think this one should count. The Dead Kel DLC has what I believe is the greatest NPC ever. The main NPC is a girl named Captain Brattigan who is a parody of the strong independent always perfect female character a lot of big studio games feature. She is so full of confidence that she is oblivious to the fact she can't do anything right.

08.08.2022Vampyr is a truly hidden gem. It is severely underappreciated.

08.08.2022Dragon Age II is a great game, especially when you consider they only had about 18 months to develop it.

08.08.2022I am the defensible Other M Fan. Anthony is one of the few Metroid characters worthy of joining Smash Bros besides those already in there and Rundas (other Prime 3 bounty hunters could work too)

08.08.2022I think "terrible" should be replaced with "underwhelming" for like half this list, at least.

08.08.2022I absolutely loved Mafia 3, Lincoln Clay was a great character

08.08.2022While I agree that all the characters you mentioned here are memorable though I'm a little suprised you went with hawk over verric. (Both are good though verric is probably the stonger character over hawk though maybe you passed on him because he was in dragon age inquisition which is a better regarderded game) most of these game aren't anywhere close to terrible. Hell I still contend if dragon age 2 was released as an expand alone title with a $15.00 discount it'd be viewed to this day as an underrated classic. Seriously play hawk not as a generic fantasy hero or villain but an ocean's 11 (pick your favorite) style grifter with a heart of gold and you'll probably have a blast. I know I did.

08.08.2022Mafia 3 was great story and characterwise. Everything else was justifiably criticised, though I did play after many of the patches had already landed.
Marcus Hicks
08.08.2022I loved Bloodlines & Vampyr 🙂

06.08.2022Bagley? Nope, any character that's constantly in my ear becomes annoying, fast.

06.08.2022Quick disclaimer, I'm merely trying to show that Metroid Other M is not as bad as the most of players thinks it is, from a lore perspective. I am not angry at all of you, I only put all caps on one of the words in this comment to make an emphasis to make a point. Also, spoilers below for not only Super Metroid, but also Other M, Metroid Fusion (to a much smaller extent), Metroid 2: Return of Samus/Metroid Samus Returns, and Metroid Dread. If you don't want to read spoilers to any of the games I just mentioned in this disclaimer, do not read the rest of this comment and play through said game(s) and then read through the rest of this comment, if you feel like making the return trip to this video just to read the rest of this comment that is. I won't blame you for not returning to read this comment, it's a gigantic wall of text defending Other M from the hate it doesn't entirely deserve after all. One of the most generally-hated Metroid games.
You guys, the majority of those who speaks bad of Metroid Other M, there's clearly a reason why Samus acts the way she does in Other M. You all feel to view her as an indefinitely cold killer of evil space threats, but you have to keep in mind too, that Samus Aran from the Metroid franchise, is also human. Humans are prone to having a moment of weakness at least once in their lives. If you look at past games and material that tells of Samus's past, you can see what messed up stuff she had to be put-through. First off, she clearly experienced trauma, as her home planet and all the humans on it besides her was likely destroyed at the hands of the Space Pirates, with Ridley at the lead. Furthermore, she meets a Metroid in Metroid 2: Return of Samus (or Samus Returns as the remake of that game) that doesn't kill her at the chance it could. Infact, the Metroid sees her as a mother, and, according to my close friend who's a big Metroid fan, those who go through the things the Chozo had Samus put through to help her grow stronger, the ones who went through such stuff, can no longer reproduce. Furthermore, that same Metroid that saw Samus as it's mother, gave it's own life to save Samus from a fatal blow by Mother Brain in Super Metroid, which, if you actually PLAYED Metroid Other M, and not merely took whatever the haters of that game said about the game, you would know that the intro cutscene of Metroid Other M, starts with an HD recreation of that very moment the baby Metroid gave it's life to save Samus from a fatal blow at the hands of Mother Brain. But without the limitations of the SNES hardware at the time. So, factoring two things, Samus's trauma at the hands of Ridley in her past, and the fact that Other M literally takes place after Super Metroid with no game between them, Super Metroid being the game where the baby died at the end, it's perfectly justified why Samus is so messed up in Other M, she had to recently face and experience two things that likely gave her PTSD (Post-traumatic Stress Disorder, for those who don't know) through. That is why Samus is somehow so weak mentally in Other M, she's struggling through PTSD after what happened before Other M. That's also why she felt such fear of Ridley in Other M, he's the one partially responsible for Samus's trauma that she had to be strong to endure. And so soon after seeing the baby Metroid give-up it's life to save her from a fatal blow. It's only humanly natural for Samus to act that way at that time. Though, I agree, that the whole "Mother Brain clone" thing in Other M was kinda dumb. Even though I could not get to that point in that game myself, simply because I got lost and could not figure out where to go next from where I was. Since Metroid Dread, there's been three games, where Samus was saved by that baby Metroid. Giving it's life up to save Samus and boost her power at the end of Super Metroid, at the start of Metroid Fusion, where she is saved from the X Parasites by using the recovered cells in a vaccine she took (which is further explained in a comic that tells what happened right before the start of Metroid Fusion), sourced from the dead baby Metroid, and in Metroid Dread, Samus literally BECOMES a Metroid throughout the events of the game. I guess what I'm trying to make a point is, seeing Samus at not only her strongest, but also seeing her lowest, is important too for the Metroid lore.

06.08.2022Like i said before i know how your tops works but you are taking the clickbait and the controversy to far, most of the games in this top are fairly good
Maybe find a new writters or something because things have go from comically bad to simply lame

06.08.2022What are you saying? Bloodlines bad? Boo! Its a great game!
Jorge Ortega
06.08.2022Jules, stop talking about videogames, you know nothing about them, or maybe put less time in telling the same 3 jokeseseseseses and more time in ACTUALLY play the games.
Gabriel Tejada
06.08.2022Thank you for that outro. It caught me off guard but it was nice to hear after a rough one
Riya gaming yt

05.08.2022Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines? yeah… it was badly made… but there is a couple of things called "patches" and "mods" that sometimes, like in this case, make a huge difference. I can't believe someone talks about this game like the original version was the only thing available. You're gonna talk about Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines, mention that there's a cult following and you will ignore THAT THE GAME WAS MADE NOT ONLY PLAYABLE BUT A VERY GOOD EXPERIENCE THANKS TO FAN MADE MODS?????? HELLO????? ARE YOU TELLING ME THAT PEOPLE PLAY A GLITCHY GAME JUST BECAUSE OF THE "WRITING"???? I'm shocked, shocked I tell you.
Justin's Rants and Raves
05.08.2022Yeah I completely disagree with Mafia 3 And therefore the list is invalid it was a wonderful game there was a lot to love about the game that so many stupid reviewers didn't seem to realize just because there was some Is repetition in some of the missions
Justin's Rants and Raves
05.08.2022Mafia 3 is far from a bad game there's way more good things than bad. It gets way too much hate

05.08.2022Vampyr and Legion aren't at all bad games.
Lukas13
05.08.2022Vampyr wasnt' bad game really.
WDSimp
05.08.2022Would love to see a fan suggestion sequel to this video. Maybe we'll get to talk about how fantastic most of the cast of Anthem is… and how they're let down by the rest of Anthem being Anthem.
Jaxon Huntsinger
05.08.2022Woo love the Vampyr shoutout. I had a lot of fun with that game!!
magusrogue
04.08.2022Im not sold on these being "terrible" games. DA2 and Bloodlines? Really?
Jesse White
04.08.2022OMG this list triggers me so bad 😂
nintendians
04.08.20222. i guess so, be good if he appear in metroid prime 4, but nintendo hardly do cutscenes like that.
Виталий Окороков
04.08.2022since when has the vtmb become a trash game? jules, you better do your homework next time and not insult nnasterpiece games.
felman87
04.08.2022kind of playing fast and loose with the "bad" video games label. Dragon Age 2, Vampire the Masquerade, Vampyre, Watch Dogs. These games weren't bad. Maybe a tad disappointing but I'd definitely play them over a lot of other titles out there.
Sheem Almighty
04.08.2022I don't consider Mafia 3 a bad game. The problem was it was boring outside the story cause there wasn't anything else to do. I truly enjoyed Watch Dogs Legion as well. It's pretty cool to make any person a part of your team and every person have a schedule, not just random roaming npcs.
Jonas Brattka
04.08.2022The only problem I had with Vampyr is that the romance between Jonathan and Elisabeth is too forced.
Pac 666
04.08.2022I disagree I think dragon age 2 was great. Story was good looked good. I can see why though people thought negatively. People were expecting another da1 open world game etc. if u go into da2 knowing what it is and what you will be getting then I think folks would act differently. But Yh da2 is amazing and so are the other 2 games.
Pac 666
04.08.2022The whole dragon age series is amazing !!!!!!!! Currently playing it now and I'm halfway through da2 and I have to say I like da2 a lot it's fantastic to me characters story all great. Only negative for me would be some of the locations and how they are reused, I can look past that due to the story and characters taking my attention. Next up is inquisition and I can't wait to play the 2014 goty. Praise the holy andraste for dragon age.

04.08.2022Hawke, Varric and Fenris are my bois! Loved the redesign for Captain Isabela, too.

01.08.2022I am one of the cult following of VTM: Bloodlines, the unofficial patch helps a LOT.
Matt Blank
01.08.2022Dragon Age 2 isn't terrible.
Matt Blank
01.08.2022Mafia 3 isn't terrible.
Matt Blank
01.08.2022You people clearly mistake underwhelming but not too bad with terrible quite often.
Matt Blank
01.08.2022Watch Dogs: Legion wasn't terrible.
Matt Blank
01.08.2022You guys need to play some easy trophy and achievement shovel ware to get a better bear on terrible.
R.I.P.Sanspoof
01.08.2022I kind of get what they mean by "bad games" but I really have to disagree with vampire the masquerade. the unnoficial patch solves most of the bugs. I played it for the first time this year, and it is hands down one of the greatest games I ever played.
The story, world-building and lore are some of the best. I actually liked the gameplay, few games mad me feel as empowered and as badass, also one of the best healing mechanics where you can drain enemies.
P.S. I never really cared for Nines xD. I mean yea he saves you but other than that, he always felt like some random pretty boy who didn't care much about anything. I frankly would have gone with Jeanette or Therese for their plot twist, or Beckett, the coolest historian ever, or smiling Jack for… well… the ending XD.
Pete The Walrus
01.08.2022This is a great topic for a whole series there's so many great charecters in bad or forgettable games and movies.
I would say that dragon age 2 is far from terrible. If it wasn't a sequel to one of the greatest games ever made it would probably be a fairly memorable game. Also Vampires is one of those games so many people have told me is amazing. I e never been able to really get into it though and as the years have past it just gets harder I am near certain it will just never be played by me.
Isak Rodriguez
01.08.2022I loved this list But I’m sorry Star Wars the force unleashed two was amazing so was the first one it’s OK if people don’t agree with me but I absolutely love that game
