[@VidalSuperNinjaGaming]

I'm startled and shaken by this appearance from "Happy Console Gamer"'s evil persona , "Mildly Upset Console Gamer".

[@calexeter9476]

Use your aggressive feelings Johnny. Let the hate flow through you!

[@xvx5872]

I like episodes on this channel about games he doesn't like. It is entertaining.

[@MrEvilpanda69]

How dare you try in persuade the pure of heart to the dark side you slithering filthy Sith. Johnny if you can hear me use the force to block push out the crap and drag in the awesome.

[@PollyPlushie]

I wouldn't really say Beast Rider "killed" The Golden Axe series. It wasn't really even alive by that point and was just an attempted resurrection that failed. All had been quiet on that series' front for ages, it'd come and gone because there was nothing else to do with it.

[@3800scgp]

@@dontcallmejon Sounds like a great project for Lizardcube, Dotemu, and Guard Crush 😀

Capcom Fighter Evolution felt like Capcom released their own MUGEN mod and released it for sale.

This video is a perfect example of why I think your channel is so good... KZbin is full of negative content creators but here even dealing with a negative subject it is done in such a positive and constructive way it is a joy to watch.

[@AssociationAdmirer]

Exactly, I've said the same thing. Dislike for a game doesn't have to be a stressful thing to discuss.

[@wowdevon1893]

Thank you c:

[@nelsonribeiro9763]

We need a golden axe version made by the people who made streets of rage 4 and dragons crown. A new Shinobi game or altered beast wouldn't be a bad idea either. Needs to be made with love.

[@JazGalaxy]

Golden axe would be, potentially, the toughest update of all time.it’s just a beat-em-up, but with more ideas than almost any of game of the era. Like every screen of that game “suggests” something about that world. And that’s why it’s so great. But to EXPLAIN any of it would be wrong, in my mind.

[@thepuppetmaster9284]

Yes please.

[@TheCommentNinja81]

Sounds like you should program and create them yourself than they would be great ! 😀

Quest 64 was one of the most disappointed games. As a Nintendo 64 guy, I was envious of my other friends, who had the PS1 with their amazing JRPGs. I thought Quest 64 was the answer to my prayers, but…no, it didn’t.

[@gothard5]

loved Quest 64

[@hovadeuce6571]

Oh man i hated that game.

[@EM_vi_ix]

I played it to the end. I don't remember any of it.

[@impoopnrightnow906]

I got Quest 64 and War Gods for Christmas... next Christmas I asked for a Playstation.

[@EmilyRose900]

@@impoopnrightnow906 Yep, had an N64 but there were no rpg's so after renting Quest 64 I asked for a PS and FF7 for Christmas. Best gifts ever.

[@6Stevo]

I think the most dissapointing game for me had to be Perfect Dark Zero. The original on N64 is still one of my favourite games of all time. So I was pumped for the prequel on Xbox 360. Once I got it, I was initially impressed with the intro and the graphics. But quickly realised that in every other aspect it was a HUGE step backwards. They destroyed the franchise before it even had a chance to become a franchise. Heartbreaking.

[@lyrand6408]

If I'm not mistaken PDZ was a prequel to the N64, and not a sequel per se. But I agree, there was hype for it at the time and it was supposed to showcase the strength of the XBOX 360 from what I recall. The critics back then did say that the graphics were good, but that the game was nothing compared to the original on N64 (which I also love still to this day). There's supposed to be a reboot of the Perfect Dark series with a new game, but there were news recently that this reboot is currently in "development hell" (but isn't cancelled, yet).

[@Psmgamer]

I actually forced myself to beat Perfect Dark Zero and was disappointed. Could have been better if it wasn't a launch title.

[@charliehustle420247]

this game was so so bad. did you play banjo kazooie nuts and bolts??? omg both of those games were just top tier trash. ugh

[@Kiefy6886]

[@KaskelotenZebbe]

Kim's photobombing was hilarious. I was never a fan of the movie, it felt just like cowboys and indians with some fancy-schmancy new tech tacked on to it.

[@greggski3710]

It's literallry the story of Pocahontas, but with aliens instead of Indians.

[@Rockjesu]

Well, it's just another version of The Last of the Mohicans or Dances with the Wolves.... but worst haha

[@Tony_Cardoza]

I had heard that's exactly what it was, a remake of dances with wolves in space, but I still enjoyed it despite not even seeing it in theaters. It did have a lot of dumb shit in it though, for instance, the wooden spears don't work on the helicopters bullet proof glass in the beginning but at the end it starts working for no reason at all when they're riding on those flying dinosaurs.

[@velosiped135]

That Golden Axe game looks awesome! I'm going to pick it up now😂.

[@philberto78]

It seems like it might be good at first but it gets boring REALLY quickly once you start playing.

[@kevinandrews4985]

The game is so hard there's no potions it's just so damn hard

[@MrSkullMerchant]

You noticed the cake didnt ya 😉 hahaha

[@infernaltim]

Man when you showed Street Fighter 3 my jaw dropped. A couple seconds later I was relieved, but that scared me. Lol

[@autex2609]

Love your little splashes of almost universally loved games when you talk about the stuff you hate haha

[@loricbrandt]

Some of those had me so confused, hahaha. I was thinking, "No way does he hate these..." But even if he does, s'all good.

[@marcrics]

Tony Hawk 5 was easily the most anger and disappointment I've ever felt from a video game. I'm just glad it didn't destroy the franchise. If 1+2 hd remake are to be the final games in the series, at least it goes out on a high and not 5 😂

[@flyingplantwhale545]

Yeah. After so many sorrowful disappointments, it’s kind of a miracle we got the 1 + 2 in the end.

[@BigKingBacon]

That was such a let down

[@reclusebassgameplay]

great album, profile photo

[@michaelhucke8204]

Agreed. I was definitely hoping someone felt the same.

[@RIPhikennoace]

You're the reason i even know about Dynamite Dux. For some reason your story still stuck with me all these years later.

[@yeismeload]

I HATE Shinobi on ps2. No matter how many times I tried, I'd inevitably end up killing every enemy then get lost in the levels and die from my sword constantly draining my health. Having a weapon drain health can be a fun mechanic, but not when it's your main weapon and you have no choice.

[@lycorisradiata9617]

everytime i read that words "games i hate" always remember that dynamite dux episode lol. wonder when they will release dynamite dux remaster.

[@Gryzor88]

Cause the concept of a Dynamite Dux remaster totally spells „huge commercial success!“ at every marketing meeting ever xD

[@DecimatedSoul]

Love ur videos so much Man!

[@logansorrell8828]

Totally agree on Golden Axe. I tried to go back and replay it last year and I couldn't get further then an hour in. Wanted to love it so much, but it just fell short.

[@TheAchillesShield]

Gauntlet: Seven Sorrows. At least I think that's the name that still haunts my dreams. I loved playing Gauntlet in the arcade.

Guantlet Dark Legacy made your eyes bleed from prolonged play, but it was fun.

Avatar is one of those films I saw, thought it was cool but never really understood the hype behind it.

[@aarons.2323]

You and everyone else. I think that it used to be the highest grossing movie of all-time has to be some sort of conspiracy theory, right? There are maybe five people alive who actually love that movie. And yet, the trailer for the next one got a HUGE amount of views! Where are these people?!

[@Smasho8000]

I heard there was a guy who loved it so much that he ended up dying in the theater.

[@falco4377]

Great content man!!

Yeah, she was clearly not impressed, ha ha. XD

[@JJUniverseChannel]

Awesome video man 😎!

[@__Steve]

Hey Johnny love your vids long time fan! I have a video suggestion. Youve done videos about RPGs you couldnt get into and Games you Hate. How about maybe a video on game series that you just couldnt ever get into? Like Assassins Creed, etc? :)

[@putaindegeek]

You're just so cool and so positive that you cannot make a real negative video ! I love your channel so much !

[@gustavomartinez2377]

I remember back in college we had a friend who was a MASSIVE Avatar fan, and he always said this game was a misunderstood masterpiece. We always made fun of him and he got really angry 😅

[@ninjasec]

I did not even think of it until I saw this and I am typing as you said it, the background on Fighting Evolution....

[@darrylrobson4376]

Final Fantasy 13. For me it's worse than boring, it actively annoys me.

[@NukeA6]

I'm jealous; FFXIII ruined RPGs for me for around a decade. I wish all the game did was just annoy me.

[@SombreroGato]

@@NukeA6 same hee, it literally killed interest in rpgs of any kind, from being my favorite genre for 15years. The failure of 13 is what led me into focusing my time on other genres with the Gears of War series then becoming my favorite series until 5 killed that for me. but my loss of interest led me on a nostalgia trip of getting back into jrpgs and anime, genshin impact etc.

[@NukeA6]

@@SombreroGato That nostalgia trip might actually help. It's how I liked RPGs again.

[@NumberOneBOB]

The game in my sights: Samurai Shodown Sen! That one, just hurt!

[@Ant-sb2dk]

I hated Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles. Felt so repetitive and lacked the progression you get from a mainline final fantasy.

[@feiwong3634]

Same here, as a lifetime fan of the series, i was hyped for CC only to get enraged by how bad it was, even in multiplayer we got bored.

[@gothard5]

agreed

[@omegaweapon116]

I gave it another shot recently and then discovered that you have to play the same levels over again *sigh*....no thanks

[@MadManMarvin]

thanks johnny. you make an old man happy on a sunday afternoon

[@sorv5790]

Haha, even when you're talking about stuff you hate, you're always so bright and upbeat. You're such a joy, Johnny. For me, I think there's no game that I absolutely unequivocally hated, just games I was disappointed by. Maybe I could say The Last of Us. I tried several times and I just couldn't get into the story and hating stealth based gameplay, it just wasn't for me.

[@biblestudynetwork2949]

This guy is honest and funny. He’s a real gamer. Not those Nintendo fanboy sissies that don’t have a personality or opinion

[@Eagleknight815]

I had a game in my head to comment on about the dislike or disgust I had it in it then I saw Kim bombing the show with the 3D TV and laughed way too hard....I totally forgot what I was going to comment about now! XD

[@LegallyBlindGamer7926]

I’d love to see a video about games that pleasantly surprised you. For example, I rented James Bond 007: Nightfire after being disappointed with Agent Under Fire and The World is Not Enough. Unlike those games, Nightfire was AMAZING.

[@piercebren6557]

Most games in the bargain bin give me shivers, make me sick to my stomach. And there are a lot of them, Johnny you should record yourself going to a store or pawn shop and showing off how disappointing bargain bins or even pawn shops CAN be. Don't get me wrong I LOVE pawn shops but they CAN be a waste of space when there's almost nothing good there.

[@gothard5]

13 years later, we are still waiting on Avatar 2. I have the Avatar game on multiple platforms. I absolutely loved it. I miss renting games.

[@MachFiveFalcon]

"10 years ago." "Did something brand new." "Wasn't angry at the games." Angry Video Game Nerd vs. HappyConsoleGamer OOOHHHH NOW I GET IT! lol

Kim and Johnny's faces with the 3d tv hahahahahaaha

[@trevorcmoore]

Woot! Thanks Johnny!

[@VideoGameStupidLC]

I liked the parrying and evade mechanics in Golden Axe Beastrider but hated the fact that if you get hit even once your Titan Bonus that you've been grinding on is reset and you basically have to start over again. That was always a drag.

[@AngryCalvin]

Games I hate: Home Alone (NES), Bart vs the Space Mutants (NES), Chip N Dale Rescue Rangers (NES), Back to the Future (NES), Busby (Genesis), Rogue Squadron (N64), Final Fantasy XIII (PS3),

Great video

[@Deadono]

[@RudyChiang]

Me is Kingdom Hearts, i am so sorry guys :(, the only reason i played that game is : want to see FFVII & FFVIII characters render with the new console (PS2 at that time)

[@ItsDatCajunStuff]

For me it was SimCity in 2013. I grew up on the Sim games and loved almost all of them, but SimCity '13 was the worst of gaming at the time. It shrank map sizes to make cities absurdly small and forced always online DRM for single player content (because everyone loves that) that rendered the game unplayable for weeks after launch. SimCity was once THE simulation franchise on PC but that game killed it and we haven't gotten another SimCity since.

[@SoftOtaku]

I might be a masochist because I love watching videos like this and then trying the games. lol

[@Reginmund]

The outfits in that Golden Axe game though. Might be the first time I try out a game from a Games I Hate video...

[@Generetic1]

For me, it was Fable 2. I've come to appreciate the game now, but its flaws are still woefully obvious. Frame drops left and right, sluggish walking animation, death was removed from the game (effectively removing any potential challenge), 500 years in the future of its predecessor, etc.

[@charoleawood]

I don't like Fable 2 either but I adore Fable 3

[@leecroft7311]

I enjoyed Fable 2 but was very impressed with Fable 3.

[@charoleawood]

@@leecroft7311 Cool :) It's a whole bunch of little things about Fable 2 that irk me and all add up against it, like backing out of menus in a shop and accidentally killing somebody because the B button is also how you cast magic, then you get the whole town running in fear of you; or the trolls having weak spots that you have to target one at a time. That being said, I love Hammer's song "Down by the reeds" and I listen to it every once in a while.

[@dsago7725]

I absolutely hated final fantasy 15. I was so hyped and then it was pretty meh... Still regret killing this crappy turtle boss for the Platin trophy

[@damonke79]

I just could not get into FF XV. The fact that the dlc isn't on the disk and required a download means that I probably need to suffer through it at some point but talk about soulless. The open stretches of map with nothing to do killed my momentum

[@cloudbloom]

On the flip side, a game I love and would like to see revisited is Lost Planet 2. On the topic of fighting games, Johnny you should play Gundam Battle Assault 2 for ps1 it's my favorite fighting game and the sprite work is so well done. Really fun game

[@TVsMrNeil]

The backgrounds in Fighting Evolution were literally cut and paste assets. I'm pretty sure that image of E. Honda waving in one of the backgrounds is just taken from his character art for Alpha 3.

[@drowningin]

I always only rented movie tie in games. Except for Golden Eye didn't even try renting it my dad bought it for us and we played it together a lot and he didn't game besides Wolf3d, and Duke Nukem 3d

There's an old NES game called Ammagon. I don't remember why I wanted it, but boy was it bad. You are a wimpy soldier (I think he has limited ammo?) stuck on some island and you die in one hit unless you get an item to hulk-out into a buff-dude that punches. It's so bad...

[@stargazer618]

Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring on PS2 was a huge let down for me. At the time, I didn't know anything about the hit or miss aspect of movie tie-in games, so I came in with expectations that it would be just like the movie. Boy was I ever wrong.

[@Fasneocroth]

I know the feeling thinking it was gonna be like playing the film so epic....

[@S_Hyde]

Some of mine would be Tales of Arise, Conception 2 and Dead Space 3. Two of them disappointed me terribly, the other, I never expected anything anyway.

[@GojoStiglitz]

I remember requesting 2 pto days off work just so I could play a certain game with 3 other friends. The morning I went to the store to pick up the game there were already people in line either canceling their preorder for it or refunding the unopened game they got in the mail. I was so devastated. My 4day weekend was ruined and I couldn’t bring myself to purchase the game that I waited months for. The worst thing about it though was that the store I went to was the GameStop I was working for at the time and the very the next shift I was on-I was the one dealing with the returns and cancels with angry customers. That game was Alien: Colonial Marines btw🤮

[@GojoStiglitz]

@@marting.9613 I had high hopes for the most recent Alien game. It’s not terrible but it’s not even worth mentioning.

[@CreativeWM_Personal]

Capcom Fighting Evolution looks like one of those ROM hack games you'd find on the net and everyone who would play it, praises it for being a good ROM hack. But it's an official product from Capcom themselves so it gets judged to a higher standard and falls short of being considered acceptable at best.
