Goofy Holiday Horrors | Blue Stinger

Blue Stinger is a goofy, fascinating title from the early days of the sixth generation of gaming.
Blue Stinger can be all over the place as a result. It suffers some common issues from the early days of 3D gaming. Yet, Blue Stinger has an earnest charm about it that you don't come across these days.

Blue Stinger is one of the funnier games I've played. Some of it is due to the awkward nature of how it handles its conversations and voice acting. That said, there are a lot of funny scenarios our main characters stumble into.
It doesn't hurt that Blue Stinger's main characters are some of the more memorable, likable ones around.
A Dreamcast exclusive, Blue Stinger is a great title to give insight into the early days of the 6th generation of gaming, the best generation.
And while I'm late by a couple of weeks, Blue Stinger is one of the better games to play around Christmas.

I really like that conversation with Doggs about the divorce, you can really feel all the unsaid stuff about it.

[@sukamadik5983]

Boulder may be done with this game but the Christmas music will haunt him till the day he dies.

[@BoulderPunch]

I will never be able to unhear it.

[@jaysherman2615]

Funnies thing was I clearly remembered seeing Blue Stinger in a kiosk at a Babbages in the mall not long after release. I remember thinking the game looked so realistic and the action was something next level. It was kind of like next generation shock where you think that games can't possibly look better than this.

[@Ndrake89]

I remember getting this as a kid. Probably was like 10 years old. I loved it. although i didn't have a clue what to do in the game.

[@sukamadik5983]

Boulder could make Dog's shirts his official channel Merch and nobody would know 😂👍. Loved the review btw.

[@Isaacfess]

Lani Minella is seriously in almost every game. Like 30% of all games I played have her voicing in it.

[@AuroraAce.]

what's with the sudden wave of blue stinger videos on youtube?

[@David-nd4to]

Game was random as heck

[@D0NU75]

same happened with the Entropy Zero HL mods and Deadly Premonition games. not complaining but it's funny how sometimes, something random and good pops up for a change

[@Ndrake89]

It definitely has to do with the algorithm.

[@roxbox6721]

I guess it just stung a lot of people

[@AceKuper]

I think i watched a couple of those, so at points when watching this I felt this was reupload i just forgot.

[@mbaron4311]

This game had a great vibe and atmosphere. Never got very far tho.

[@Upsetkiller456]

It honestly gets worse as you go on.

[@danielreynolds4716]

Elliot, the goofy dad version of Nathan Drake befor there was a Nathan Drake

[@FinalFrantasy]

Noticed that Hassy connection with Illbleed right away

[@penguinreloaded7756]

Played it on Christmas break from highschool in 1999. New copies were already down to $10 just a couple of months after release. It was flawed, but I enjoyed it and found it to be absolutely charming. The swimming in the game was a nightmare. It's sad that the director passed away so young. It would be nice to have a double pack rerelease of Blue Stinger and Illbleed for $30 or so. They still play fine on Dreamcast, but it would be nice to have access to the games on modern hardware.

[@-raymonte-9798]

I’m with you, there should be a fishing mini-game in this. I think Dogs is the Captain from Sega Marine Fishing, that could be his boat at the start of the game too, so it would have been a cool tie-in.

[@julianperez6806]

Would love to see you tackle Carrier

[@Jose-se9pu]

Back in 9/9/99, when I got my Dreamcast, I was able to afford three games; Soul Calibur, Sonic Adventure, and for the third one, I was undecided between House of the Dead 2 and this...I still dont regret my decision.

[@baconpicker123]

The melody of the Christmas song is reminding me of some ghibli tune that I can’t quite remember

[@battango]

My little brother used clips from the bathing scene in this game in some music he made over a decade ago. It's weird to finally see it in context.

[@mcgillaz3672]

"Where are you going? To the Island." Still awkward and endearing after all these years...coupled with "Shooting from that far?!" NO SHIT!

[@coreymartin6363]

As a 14 y/o in 1999, there was a point when I had only this game and Soul Reaver on my Dreamcast. It's weird, but I can't remember if I recognized at the time that I owned one game with just the best writing and voice acting, and...well...this. I don't know if I'd call it the worst, because it's funny-bad, but they're definitely night and day, in terms of awe, gravitas, and narrative quality. ...and I loved them both.

[@coreymartin6363]

Of course, I am comparing Hennig's writing performed by superb voice actors to what I assume is a poor translation performed by the original non-English speaking cast.

[@That_Ifrit_Guy]

Thanks for this! Love seeing more people cover and spread the word of my favorite game ^^

[@DinoDave150]

I thought I recognized Deem Bristow's voice in here!

[@josephspann991]

Time to pop open a Hassy and enjoy the review.

[@SteveMacSticky]

I too am always glad after swimming that I avoided drowning

[@tdome3000]

I didn't know that the MDKs were also on consoles.

[@theneversquid]

I honestly spent most of the video distracted by the fact that Janine is the same voice actress for the Nancy Drew games. I love her so much XD

[@grantshoemaker2059]

Idk if I just have berserk brain but the main character looks a lot like guts

[@cartooncritique6625]

24:23 Two bros bathing together in the middle of an cataclysm...5 feet apart, because they're not gay. 😎

[@Upsetkiller456]

Crazy games is a sad story because they had potential to go on to be a darling in the industry imo

[@BoulderPunch]

They quirks that made them stand out.

[@rileytimes]

Really delightful

[@g1andonly1]

I have to say, I put a lot of hours into this game back in the day and loved every minute. It was a unique game in its own. I hope it's rereleased on Android or iPhone.

[@gradyshmalady8284]

Lol, I have fond memories of bringing my Dreamcast to a hotel room for a birthday to show all my frienda the ending cinematic for this game. I'm sure they didnt care one bit.

[@matthewcorridor]

3:11 waifu in a jar, oh no😨

[@stitchfan93]

Wonderful work 😊 Great start to 2024 with this ❤

[@samsniper2000]

Man idk if the algorithm is burying you, but I'll watch everything you put out!

[@BoulderPunch]

The algo giveth and taketh away. It happens.

[@budyll1]

The models in cutscenes look disturbing to me.

[@sleepless9326]

I got this game for Christmas same year i got my dreamcast i thought i was livimg large that day

[@matthewdoesntlikeit]

Spawn: In The Demon’s Hand next, right? Right!?

[@Upsetkiller456]

ILLBLEED.

[@Mankey619]

Now I want this game to be remaster on modern consoles. If they can bring both Shenmue games, why not Blue Stinger.

[@MartinMartinez-tq5px]

I always wanted to play this game but for some reason my dreamcast could never play any of them.

[@cropathfinder]

dunno GTA V still struggles with making a good swimming system tho its not as bad as rockstar still not knowing how to have good flight mechanics (especially on the PC side where you think they would use the mouse properly)

[@NormalPersonCommenting]

Normally, I try to pick a stand out line for to feed the algo This game managed to make every line that line; I can't pick one.

[@DarkuuArmati]

why has every reviewer I liked made a review of Blue stinger.

[@nunyabusiness9056]

I went into a game store once looking for....anything horror to play on dreamcast. The guy asked me why the f i was buying that pile of crap when he looked at blue stinger in my hand. I just said there's not much out there that's horror for the system. He asked me if i played re3 and i said i hadn't and i wasn't super interested in an ugly psx port. He begged me to play re3 instead. WHen i said no he offered to discount re3, 20%, then 40%, then 60%, then 80% and i finally relented and got re3. It was ok.

[@douglasamorris89]

"I'm on vacation, I'm Bi"

[@Mashita_Kills77]

Yeah!! I'm somewhat early!!✨💘 I actually have GOOD memories from this GAME 🎮💞 dreamcast console is TRULY appreciate🌟😻

[@willyonamountain]

This game is..... not good. And i say this as a day one Dreamcast owner. The two things going for it: Dogs Bower and being in the launch lineup.

[@BoulderPunch]

It has its charms. And Dogs Bower is amazing.

[@sebastiansochanski]

👌

[@mcecil73]

Crazy how much Dead Space stole from this.

[@yeahyeahwowman8099]

How exactly, I want specific details, right now.

[@mcecil73]

@@yeahyeahwowman8099 there's an alien object responsible for the extinction of the dinosaurs off the coast of the Yucatan which is causing people to mutate into body horror monsters. It's basically the same game. I'm joking. This is just something that struck me as odd when listening to the synopsis.
