The Sims 2 Castaway: Survival of the Neckbeards

[@ambiguousamphibian]

The worst let's play series continues today - let me know what other cursed sims spinoffs you'd like to see - Bustin' Out and Sims 2 DS are high on my priority list, but there's even worse games to cover. For the record, I like them all

Hi sir

Play the hot mess of supernatural expansions I think Apartment life?. They are a minefield of weird stuff. You can recreate the wicker man

[@wingsofhope2]

"I like them all" Even the My Sims games? 👀

[@foxlerfox2810]

Sims 2 DS has to be the wildest sims game I've ever played, I think it's excellent. I'd love to see the cursed Sims Medieval spinoff they did

[@theunkownbanana1823]

Now with Castaway under the belt, I'm looking forward to a Sims: Medieval playthrough.

[@ZamboniZone]

Isn't that Cruisader kings?

[@viera205]

that game was actually really good

[@erinw.9256]

So good!!

[@EJayNine]

That Llama hieroglyph has more lore in it than the entire of The Sims 4.

[@Mrchair905]

I have played almost 800 hours in 4 over the ten years it’s been out. I hate myself.

[@averyharley2197]

@@Mrchair905 Fortunately for me, EA has made it quite inhospitable to continue my Sims 4 addiction, what with their insistence on changing their client multiple times.

[@EJayNine]

@@Mrchair905 As long as you didn't pay for it, its okay.

[@Ghostgate611]

You are obviously unaware of our dear leader Jim pickins. He has infinite lore.

[@Macho_Fantastico]

It's kind of crazy that this game featured facial hair growth, and yet we had to wait for that feature to added into a mainline Sims game until sometime this year.

[@devicto0]

This game was so great to play back then

[@ambiguousamphibian]

Some games age like fine wine

[@theq6797]

I still play first Hitman: Codename 47, but only one mission: Traditions of Trade. For 24 years. Today I played it one time - Franchi challenge.

[@jwb_666]

this game awoke in me the thirst for survival type games

[@soapdish124]

This game made up a good chunk of my childhood. Young me could never figure out how to get further than the third island until I worked out to find an online guide.

[@Eventide215]

@@jwb_666 I wish we had more Sims style survival games though. They don't all have to be like hardcore realistic survival games. I loved the Sims spinoff games because they were literally Sims but with more focus on a theme or objective. Like Urbz (non-handheld) was all about growing your reputation around town. Castaway is either getting off the island back to civilization or staying on the island and living there forever.

[@SgtPineapple1st]

I had Castaways on the DS. I remember it being fun, but I don't want to return to it. Thank you for this video 😂

[@ambiguousamphibian]

You're very welcome my friend

[@leonarddillon256]

12:39 Imagine if Nathan Drake, Lara Croft, and Indianna Jones decide not to enter the temple, despite spending countless hours trying to reach the destination, because they need to sleep first. Never mind that their enemies simultaneously are trying to enter and claim the place before anyone do. Castaway is so existentially realistic that needs are always first a foremost before achieving personal goals.

[@RandomDudeFromYT]

What a strange coincidence. I just commented on your other video and here you are, once more presenting us a sparkling gem of entertainment. Now I even more want a Sims Medieval Playthrough please Mr. AA

[@ambiguousamphibian]

High on the list

[@Laszlo5897]

[@teamfailboatt]

Playing this game back in the day was like a fever dream, I love the weirdness of the old sims games

[@goofhunterx5846]

I played this game way way to much on the Wii lmfao, it was actually such a banger

[@ambiguousamphibian]

Everything is better with a Wii

[@beepis7918]

I have a borderline unhealthy obsession with Sims 2 Castaway and I am forever bitter that it never released on PC. Thank you so much for validating my entire childhood.

[@valerieferrin8833]

There is though, The Sims Castaway Stories! ETA: and it's fantastic

[@Eventide215]

@@valerieferrin8833 Well there is Castaway Stories, you're correct, but it's an ENTIRELY different game.

[@viniciusyugulis7278]

​@@valerieferrin8833 castaway stories is much worse than this

[@Ryyi23]

Honestly wasn't expecting another episode of this! Awesome!

[@buyanothergame8100]

Ngl I quite enjoyed Castaway as a child. Never beat it but the concept is pretty interesting still

[@brandonridgeway3197]

Man I LOVED this game growing up. Personally, my favorite sims game.

[@ncomnom3637]

Watching the CD get pushed into the toaster got me way more stressed than I want to admit. As always, impeccable video AA!

[@Polygonetwo]

I love this game so much, it's so silly. The need for a nap is eternal. Those hieroglyphics were always a pain to hunt down though.

[@MysharonaMan]

How has this man lived my EXACT childhood?

[@tildal.]

i loved flipping through those pamphlets you'd get in the CD case

[@retrostoatgaming6936]

Really getting in character with the slow descent into madness and irritation. I, for only a second, almost believed you were playing a video game!

[@alex.d7529]

Nice to see more of this :) I loved this game when I was a kid, it’s just as weird as I remember it being. Can’t remember if it was Christmas or my birthday when I got it, but I remember being an excited 10 yr old because it was the first sims game my mom let me have lol

[@JackMoore4]

I'd love to see you play Viva Pinata. It was an incredibly good game that came free with a lot of the Xbox 360 bundles way back. Presents itself as a silly kid's game (and it was) but it was actually really fun

[@ChappedHole]

Your channel is amazing. I love your production, whether if I'm actually watching or re-listening. I can tell when you are outwardly influenced though. But the Sims 2 castaway is one of my favorites. Glad for another episode from you 😅 Your energy is amazing. Be you big dawg 💪❤️

[@Pixel__Hearts]

When I was little I loved this game, it wasn’t until recently i went back to play and realized there were endings

[@burntalive]

I always knew the llamas were the sole protectors keeping the aliens from enslaving us all

[@Gingeries17]

Of all the Sims spin-off fever dreams, this game was always my personal favourite.

[@SuperEffector]

I can hear your tears of joy as you relive your childhood.

[@tash4270]

I didn't have consoles growing up, I'm loving these 😂

[@92ospe11]

Ahh you need to finish this game! I can't stand not knowing how it ends!

[@Rob_of_Tretogor]

you brought so many good memories with the last video I downloaded an emulator and started playing this masterpiece again, thanks for the new video!!!

[@Sims2Pack]

Do you have any websites you'd recommend for the emulator?

[@SovietOrange]

I like toast

[@ambiguousamphibian]

Can't argue with that

[@snowts]

I was expecting M'Lady to 300 Xerxe into the volcano.

[@danidm5820]

I'll never understand why EA never followed up with a proper sequel when survival games became the hottest genre of the entire industry for almost a decade.

[@atsukana1704]

That image of a ds still able to function by the two cords brought back a locked away memory XD

[@demo2823]

Still one of my fave childhood games.

[@phoenixarthey]

I had sims 2 castaways for the PSP and the main thing I remember is how goddamn long the loading screens were, especially when you were in the late game 😂

[@JETWTF]

Got a boat insurance ad, wow an ad that fit for once,

I love your Sims videos Mr. AA. Funny enough i met a colleague in a fancy office building last year and we talked about your videos together 😂. Sims 2 Castaways was so fun to do co-op, it was a favourite of mine to play with my brothers. Thanks for the nostalgia trip!

[@mcastleberry]

I was just watching your first Sims Castaways video this morning, thinking about when you might post the sequel! What a treat. Thanks AA :-)

This is me leaving a compliment in the compliment section. My compliments to the Amphibian.

The only thing in this video that wasn't copious was your choice of adjectives lmao ❤

[@itsidaree]

I'm just happy to see how far it's actually possible to get, I never managed to get further than the first beach lmao

[@madwolf4815]

Wishing for a (WELL DONE) remaster, I loved this game growing up I would love to play it again.

[@Mrchair905]

Oh man I remember playing this on the ps2 when I was younger, good times. I wish the sims didn’t kinda suck now, I miss these fun side games. Now it’s just endless dlc packs for 4..

[@BoshyG]

This and The Sims 2 psp will always be core memories for me

[@JABO95SA]

I have such powerful memories of this game. Back when I was young and early into the gamer life. Back when my understanding of the English lexicon was still growing. I would sacrifice a goat if it meant a good remake of this game would become a reality.

[@spyro4542]

I remember playing Castaway on the old PS2. I actually enjoyed it quite a bit back in the day.

[@TheRealPOTUSDavidByrd]

honestly love the retro stuff just because the idiosyncrasies and flaws in those games can give them SO much character

[@professorcoms2481]

So fond of this game. Seeing that green brick of a bed is so nostalgic

[@alejandropoczynokh]

What a banger this was to play back in the day. Felt really innovative, but oh man, I do NOT miss the jank of the PS2, that poor thing struggled with this game.

[@SproingBoing]

The console ports of Sims 2 weren't quite like their PC counterparts, but they honestly didn't need to be. My Siblings and I really enjoyed mucking about in Co-op mode (though at some point me and my brother were trying to find increasingly silly ways to just break the game without the cheat code gnome)
