Beowulf - B.A.D. Games

Have you ever picked up a game, looked at the cover and thought, hey this looks awesome! Then once you get into the game, things aren't as great as the box promised. Welcome to Box Art Deceptions, where I look at games whose covers were better than the game itself...

Just back from a video from Pappa Bear Gaming and he was kindly giving you a nice shout out. You deserve more love on this realm lass so fair play to him! Missed this video pop up but I know your usually a Friday uploading legend so checked anyway to find this new jem here.😂 Definitely one for the pixelated Sagas! Grendel hung on in there until you got tired out haha⚡️ Great video lass and hope your set for a nice weekend.🎮🌠🍀

[@okgamergirl]

Thanks for sending me his way! It was an amazing shout out 🥰 so nice to know people are enjoying my stuff! That's weird you didn't get a notification...but it's true, you can find me here every Friday 😆 have a great weekend!

[@Pjvenom1985]

@@okgamergirl No worries lass I enjoy wandering around the good natured channels in the community sure haha thanking you.🖖🌠🍀

[@WhatHoSnorkers]

"Carnal fury"? That's an... ODD expression, shall we say. What an odd collection of game choices! Janktastic!

[@MakopoweredGaming]

Okay, I'm not the only one who thought that! Thank you!

[@WhatHoSnorkers]

@@MakopoweredGamingAt least he didn't try to shag Grendel or something...

[@okgamergirl]

There's quite a few odd moments in this game 😆 so they probably hoped no one noticed their weird wording 🤣

[@Acidonia150reborn]

Reminds me of 360/PS3 game I played where you only could die if the character you protected died that alone made it a pain to play but you had to to a QTE like these with no fails or it resets to beat a boss. Then right at the Final boss it does this throws one up that faster than rest miss it and yoiu instanty die and have to re do fight that takes 10 mins again yeah I never beat it and it was on easy.

[@okgamergirl]

That sounds super painful to play! Do you remember which game it was? Why did they design it that way? 😆

[@MakopoweredGaming]

... What does it say about me that I saw the Mad Maestro-esque rhythm circle show up and suddenly had an interest in playing this. Seriously, I had no desire to play this for close to 20 years, but you had to tell me it's a secret rhythm game. WELL DONE. 😝 Seriously, though, this looks as bad as I expected. Also, the movie is terrible, even though Neil Gaiman wrote a draft of the script.

[@okgamergirl]

Haha it's probably the strangest place I've ever seen a rhythm game crowbarred in 🤣 at least I don't have to watch the movie now...as much as this game put me off, you've sealed its fate 😆

[@FriendsAndGamingYT]

I remember the film be silly fun! Not a good movie, but a fun one! What a leader cheering on his men!

[@okgamergirl]

Makes me wonder if the director was going for serious and accidentally went too far...ending up in sillyville 😆 the game felt like it was serious...then the Guitar Hero started 🤣 also, the less than enthusiastic cheer from the men made me laugh 😂

[@FriendsAndGamingYT]

@@okgamergirl I'd recommend watching it if you have a buddy or two just to rip into it, can be a fun watch that way! I'm kinda curious if the game threw in any other out of place mechanics later on in the game now!

[@okgamergirl]

@FriendsAndGamingYT sounds tempting 😆 if you ever have the strength to play the game, and you get further than I did...you'll have to let me know if it gets weirder 😆

[@matcam89]

I don't know seems like a better version of God of War 😅....Great video if you want a good action game I'd recommend Xmen Origins Wolverine for ps3

[@okgamergirl]

Give Kratos a different kind of axe 🤣 ooh I think I have that game...might give it a go!

[@pappabeargaming]

The guitar hero reference made me laugh. I would imagine this would be super annoying playing the game. Would have been funnier if he brought out a guitar and then you had to do the guitar hero challenge while they are sailing. 🤣🤣

[@okgamergirl]

Oh that would have improved the game ten fold! 😆 Imagine him cracking out a mic and swinging from the sails just to hype up his men 🤣
