Awkward fumbling fighting fool! - Perfect Weapon (PlayStation)

[@BunnySuicida]

This has the energy of the fake videogames you see children playing in TV shows like Law & Order.

[@Trololers]

This is the perfect way to describe it haha

[@sparthyslaysstuff2405]

Honey finish up Perfect Weapon get down here for dinner! Fine mawwwm, it's just gonna awkwardly kick me back out the publisher logo when I die anyway.

[@Perkustin]

Come on honey stop 'bombing the universe' and come down for dinner.

[@BunnySuicida]

@@jordannewthomas3293 and a random series of beeps and boops can be heard.

[@Josephstar100]

Lol yeah it does!

[@JaimeR2D]

Gonna have "No Way No Way (Awoooooo) No Way" stuck in my head for the rest of the day now.

[@paulocarreirapinto]

Im sure your mind is saying it right: "No wayyy"

[@jeremiahpapa7868]

This was a Christmas gift that had me in tears. The very first level slowly kills you. Couldn't even get off the iceberg for YEARS. One day I got sick of it and got as far as the jungle tree level. Game is such shite. By the way, my PTSD on this game is keeping me from actually watching this. Video is paused within two minutes. Sorry but no, not again.

[@toiletsinjapan9933]

i feel ya brudda. choking back tears as i type this

[@luizruiz1207]

No way

[@ChadAF_YT]

I felt this comment in my guts

[@CliffuckingBooth]

Same for me - Christmas gift, only I actually wanted the game and enjoyed it :D (PC version)

[@cheshire_skatkat9093]

I beat this game.

[@yahyamusseb]

My uncle (may he rest in peace) broke a controller because of this game

[@Houldey]

'Matthew the Perfect Weapon' reads just like the old early 00s screen names on msn/irc etc lol

[@hypethekomodo6495]

Long has it been a joke that loading bars mean nothing. Perfect Weapon takes that WAY too literally.

[@SomeDumbKid1]

This video is just 17 minutes of Matt being stupefied by the bullshit placed before him

[@libraalbert91]

And it's great

[@Iamafishproductions]

This game plays you as much as you play it.

[@BigEOT3]

If this guy in the game is the Perfect Weapon, then Waluigi is secretly Susanoo in disguise.

[@toiletsinjapan9933]

that depends. is susanoo circumcised?

[@BryMoon]

We need a Wha Happun for Perfect Weapon. Haven't laughed like this in a while.

[@Jun123]

"Why's he dressed like that, what's wrong with him?" LOL

[@dsdascott]

I just got hit with a wave of nostalgia. I didn't know the name of the game but it's haunting my dreams for dozens of years. I bought this game from Media Play on a whim and I never got passed the first level. Thank you for this. The mystery has been solved and I can finally move on with my life.

[@brianknight5487]

Now go play it lol.

[@SebOuiKin]

I completely lost it at the Monkey screeching like a cat xD What the hell was that

[@TailsR1984]

It's clear you now need to experience TIME COMMANDO (PS1)

[@schweedy1985]

Owned and played both back in the day. Time Commando is 10x more fun than Perfect Weapon.(and to be clear, Time Commando isn't great either... but at least I was compelled to beat it)

[@TailsR1984]

@@schweedy1985 Dedication & discipline, haha. The things we put up with.

[@schweedy1985]

@@TailsR1984 Haha true, the early PS1 era was a pure testing grounds. Many games that were coming out were the coolest looking things we'd ever seen(the ads for Perfect Weapon made it look amazing).. but nearly all of them either controlled like shit, or they were boring, or they were janky... or they were Perfect Weapon which is all three and worse(it's the type of game that makes an 8 hour shift on the factory floor feel like a fun and engaging process by comparison). Time Commando at least had the WWI segment which was pretty cool for the time.

[@symphony137]

Funny you mentioned The Crow game. It was actually made by the same developers!

[@chaffXgrenade]

I love how the textures on the back of the wolves' legs are stretched around them so there's just horizontal stripes on them

[@MrDrokkul]

They made a game about that Liam Neeson film where the plane crashes and he fights wolves? No way!

[@Mystemo]

Now I want a Perfect Weapon crossover episode with AVGN XD

[@zekegonzalez1845]

Yes!! I'm imagining scenes already.

[@AdriftForWeeks]

My uncle gave my this game on PC back in the day for my birthday. I was like "no way."

[@amurter19]

My dad is in his 70s and only got into a few games but what he did play he'd play over and over. This is one of them lol

[@sharpiesharpie8356]

Before KZbin we had game pro and other magazines I remember seeing this game and finaly getting it soon as I started playing my brothers behind me watching were laughing 😆 calling it a cheap crap game 😂 I tried to convince myself it was good 😭

[@michaelmendez7441]

Lol I had this growing up can u imagine playing castlevania symphony of the night and then popping this in

[@GraveReaperCushions]

Has anyone seen the movie The Perfect Weapon? It's got nothing to do with this. It seemed to be a vanity project by some guy called Jeff who does martial arts, in which he played some guy called Jeff who does martial arts, and he's on a quest to avenge... 🤷‍♂️ Cop brother I think... 🤔 Jeff who does martial arts - ably performed by Jeff who does martial arts - is a bit of a keen detective. He goes to a dojo looking for information and asks this guy if he knows about... 🤷‍♂️ Stuff; does he know about stuff. The guy says no, so Jeff who does martial arts says "what if I kicked your ass?". So they fight, and because Jeff who does martial arts wins, the guy gives him information about stuff. 🕵️ Also somebody involved in the production - presumably Jeff who does martial arts - *really* liked the song "I've Got The Power"...

[@R_got_a_name_change]

No fear, no weapons, ”No problem!”

[@TheAJHernandez17]

The developer of this made The Crow, so the Crow is a skin swap of this

[@GrinninPig]

Got this one year for Christmas. Imagine having that turd stuffed in your Xmas stocking

[@entity447b]

Reminds me of BioForge - pre-rendered backgrounds, crusty-looking 3D models.

[@TheYoungjames22]

This was probably the first game I ever traded in at babbages/gamestop. I liked having a collection. I don’t remember how much I got back but I was just relieved that it would be out of my life forever. Anytime I hear “bad game” I get flashbacks of this even two decades later.

[@kainhighwind2]

I absolutely need a Wha Happun: Perfect Weapon

[@DavidEarle]

Honestly thought that was Matt's cat.

[@RDavis2789]

Childhood trauma... Just tried to play this recently, still can't beat the first level. This game deserves all the hate!!

[@brianknight5487]

Lol!

[@cheshire_skatkat9093]

I beat this game and lemme just say...THIS was the first low key "SOULS" type game due to its issues, controls,God tier gang up enemies,and lame moves.

[@Seth-nt9bf]

8:32 "meeeeoowooowww!" That's fake video game energy right there!

[@toiletsinjapan9933]

YESS!! the game that stole my childhood. nothing better than karate man slowly suffocating on an alien planet

[@LendriganGames]

The way Perfect Weapon controls gave me Bioforge flashbacks. Not so much, though from the immediate recitation of Boulevard Of Broken Dreams, that's just '90s edge.

[@famous305matrix]

I remember buying this game for only $3 thinking it was gonna fun beat em up game similar to Ninja : Shadow Of Darkness but it was like biting into chocolate covered shit.

[@noboy345]

"N O W A Y...."

[@BiroZombie]

This was the second game that I’d played on the Playstation in 1996 when I was in high school. Even though I was not too fond of the game, I still tried to beat it. I didn’t succeed at doing so, but it was quite the experience for as bad as it was. I am surprised that you haven’t made a “What Happened?” episode on this game. It must be made. The developers of the game were called Gray Matter, who had made 8-bit and 16-bit games in the past. This game “Perfect Weapon” was the first that they’d made for the Playstation (that explains quite a bit).

[@Goblintom]

Never played this one, BUT even that thumbnail made me remember Time Commando. That one was a trip and a half. Extremely fun with cheats though.

[@gigabytegallery7305]

Imagine if you find out that Real Life is only an evolving video game, then it breaks completely to the point everyone walks in Tank Control motions.

[@jessicaluchesi]

ROFL Matt, it is hilarious to see you play these games, when the guy went "NO WAY" I was like having Mando flashbacks with "This is the way", that joke is there somewhere to be made but I am too lazy to figure out how

[@jessicaluchesi]

ROFL The monkey MEOW... what the... I laughed so hard I almost sprayed coffee on my screen, rofl

[@jessicaluchesi]

The text... this looks like "Neil Breen - The Game" ROFL

[@NonRandomUser]

A mutual friend once brought this disc over and issued a challenge to us naive fools: if any one of us could beat the FIRST area, he would treat us all to ice cream. A few wasted hours later, we gave up, and our friend revealed that even he never made it very far into the game (halfway, at BEST). Needless to say, there was no free ice cream to be had that day.

[@Jabler-]

If you knew you can save whenever you want in this game, you likely would have gotten that ice cream.

[@beyondwisdom5880]

I for about 10 years would quote the “No Way” line to a friend of mine who bought this game and lost his receipt. Good times!! The controls in this game were too stiff and annoying, the fact it was tank controls wasn’t the problem.. just terrible level design.

[@seanthomas6465]

I'm dying at how dumbfounded Matt is. "That is the perfect weapon folks! NANI!!!"

"No shitty is givey." -Matt McMuscles, 2020

The amount of stock noises in this game is fucking hilarious

[@japroject1]

NO WAY..... NO WAY..... NO WAY..... NO WAY..... NO WAY THIS GAME IS REAL.....

[@cliffallica]

Did Neil Breen make this game!?

[@RitoRoo]

Seeing this video after finishing this game on an emulator with lots of save states, rewinds and a speed-run to tell me what to do when the game just decided to not work... God, it's a nightmare, i will never forget this

[@Sabeythang]

This game got a digital rerelease. In a world where Square Enix won't rerelease Terranigma, Nintendo won't put up a GameCube Virtual Console equivalent, and Sega won't work with FromSoftware to make an Otogi 1 & 2 HD collection... You can digitally purchase Perfect Weapon for your PS3/PSP/Vita. store.playstation.com/en-us/product/UP9000-NPUJ00341_00-0000000000000001

[@joshfraley8019]

The perfect weapon is more like The perfect turd!

[@Actual-Jesse]

This looks like if a video game was made by Neil Breen

[@CorrezZio]

Yooo I has this game! Still can't believe they started you in a level where your energy drains from the get go, they should've switched the first 2 levels IMO.

[@Pio322]

This is the kind of jank Civvie should be playing

[@MilwaukeeMisfit909]

When I bought my first Playstation I had like $14 left and this was the budget game I chose. 🤣 This was my introduction to the Playstation. Pretty sure I played the demo disc more than this mustard water.

[@Nelkhael1]

I remember my cousin had this game and we didn't get it back then. It was "too weird".

[@evandetwiler2810]

My friends and I held a ritual burning for this game when we were in middle school. We pissed on the flames after it burned for awhile.

[@DatOneGuy901]

I have memories of this game when I was little. my uncle bought me this game, and I knew it fucking sucked immediately BUT I FORCED myself to get off the first stage, tank controls be damned

[@beckythompson4538]

This was my first 3d game. I know this game lands on a bunch of worst of lists but being able to walk around and explore every nook and cranny was exactly what I was looking for in the next generation!

[@ricardorodriguez-mi2zv]

[@JustinJTime]

This is like a Time Commando knock-off, but at least that had a bit more of an interesting setting with the time travel.

[@terrythe2dmaniac71]

Coming from someone from this game's generation you made my laugh so hard, I salute you for even trying 5 minutes of that crap soup kiddo, keep up the amazing content.

It's been months since I laughed like this. Thank you. Subscribed. 👍

Matt teabag the dead body and seem so lost lmao then he tried to spin kick the wolf n the wolf was like "No Way"lmfao

[@Turbomorph]

Uppercut! Kick! "Fuck off wolves"! LOL!

[@yamazaki2K]

I not only bought this game with my own money as a kid I beat it legit without cheat codes. Still have the disc somewhere I think.

[@thegreat1007]

2.59...Blake Hunter, with his new hit single "NO WAY"

[@gedaman]

I was getting a lot of PlayStation games in 1996. I’m glad that The Perfect Weapon was not one of them. I remember seeing this game on store shelves when it was released. The cover art looked a little intriguing. Unfortunately I did own 2Xtreme and Fox Hunt for PlayStation. The good games I owned far outweighed the bad games though.

[@larrshinshin7606]

where did you learn to fly? where did you learn to fly? where did you learn to fly?

[@amilcarconceicao3155]

Oh my god I remember owning this and hating it as a child! I completely forgot the title until now

[@ghostmouthzach56]

No joke this was the first game I got with my PS1 back in 1997.

[@dullroar2673]

Literally the only thing I remember about this game was the music getting actually pretty hype when you switched to Shit's Real fighting stance

[@M31-Gaming-Boss]

The only good thing about this game is the walking animation

[@joozehh9431]

Cannon Spike for dreamcast?

[@keatonmay9685]

Ah! My first PS1 game. It has aged like a fine wine I see.

[@Deiwea]

A kid in middle school asked to barrow my mortal kombat for the ps1, in exchange he would let me barrow perfect weapon. I played it that night and had the worst game experience I ever had. Even after I used gameshark for infinite health, it was still a clunky mess. I tried to return the game to the kid that did the borrow exchange with me. He was like, I don't know what you're talking about, we never barrowed each other's games. Totally understandable, have a nice day.

[@HiGlowie]

That’s grimy. I’d be so pissed!

[@Jazz_Jackhammer]

Matt, how do you find this stuff? Do you have a guy or something?

[@RunLikeAVillain]

Most, or at least a lot of game magazines from the time almost always had an ad for this game in them. I remember seeing this advertised in what felt like every single issue of EGM for the entire year of 1997.

[@idontknowyoumitch]

He has a dealer. Im sure of it.

[@Josephstar100]

This reminds me of The Crow ps1. I wonder which one controls worse.

[@fearhunger3983]

This game gives me some weird hidden trauma feels. Like the music mixed with the icy landscape seems distantly familiar, but at the same time I can't get a grasp of the memory. Maybe I actually played this back in the day? Could it be? Makes sense for my mind to bury it deep if it really happened. EDIT: This is so bizarre! I'm fairly sure I've played this as a kid, but I have absolutely no memory of this!! And I can remember some everything I played even as a toddler on NES!

[@bobbynick5358]

If i remember this game had a contest where you can win by putting your face in the game? My guess a jpeg of your face on a npc. oh The Crow game... yeah that game got tank controls too, but maybe worst as the moves are like realistic slow, like you know how amateurs or seeing slow warm-ups martial arts moves? That mostly The Crow gameplay and mocapping feels like. A first timer doing slow round house kicks. Funny I think a fixed camera beat'em up can work, they just need the gameplay be just like Onimusha.

[@KurohigeDTeach-yy3yk]

My popz absolutely loves this game.

[@mystman7722]

This was also released on PC, I played its demo there. The controls were AWFUL. Simply making it to the next screen without dying was a major challenge.

[@bennettritchie2743]

This feels to me like a 3D version of Out of this World.

[@daveKoRnfan]

I can't stop saying "no way" now lol

[@StatueBreaker]

I remember having this game and watching my brother play it when I was little. Pretty much the only thing I liked about it was the music.

[@masterchef87]

Full LP! Full LP!

[@ChadAF_YT]

You have to earn the 9000 moves. You learn them throughout the game

[@thedondev]

You should play E.O.E eve of evolution on ps2. It's pretty good and a hidden gem

[@buddhull]

Is it Future Cop or Time Commando where you battle invincible cavemen on the first level?

[@MattMcMuscles]

Time Commando pretty sure

[@Swindle1984]

I had this game as a kid. The controls and camera angles were horrific. I did like the soundtrack though. If they did a remake of this game with modern graphics and engine, I'd at least check it out, just to find out what the hell the story was supposed to be. Fun fact: if you insert the game disc into a CD player, you can hear the player character narrate stuff.

[@cerebraxis607]

I played this game last year over halfway through. It's actually pretty good...for real. It's ridiculous and fun, once you learn the attack speeds...that was the issue at first, was you have to basically account for the animation after the button press, in terms of timing...not always though because it's jank

[@cerebraxis607]

By pretty good, I mean entertaining.

[@thegreat1007]

1.21 damn , that alpha version of virtua fighter looks bizarre

[@lexnoil]

Perfect Weapon, the walking simulator fighting game! 🤣🤣

[@cheshire_skatkat9093]
