Half Dead 2: The Cruel Cube

[@cain9851]

I remember the older videos on Half Dead and i'm just confused, it looked like a decently fun game but now its just a broken mess where half the traps and online features don't seem to work

[@TheLeadZebra]

The first one was was more coherent tbh

[@RedsHitpostMedia]

"Its not a bug its a feature"

[@Reac2]

I'm convinced the only reason those dudes doing random shit even exist in this game is that the dev bought some human assets for player characters (or they were free) and they just came with some animations and/or voicelines that the dev then forced scenarios around

[@VulpeRenard]

Almost certainly. I'm pretty positive I've seen those exact poses and animations in a RocketBox pack 15 years ago.

[@Doofles01]

This is one of the most bizarre streams I've seen in awhile. It was brief and surreal

[@MidnightVoyager]

I think I just wiped my memory of this stream until this very moment. What a trainwreck that game was.

[@atenga5881]

I literally watched the old half dead video the day before this video realized. Timely follow ups are just the best lol.

[@ShaneT5S]

Quick, watch some GTA4 stuff! That stuff was great back in the day

[@Steely14900]

did they make this game worse? i remember it seemed pretty good from old videos but now there’s all this shit going on for no reason

[@dafire9634]

Apparently the first one is decent, and this one is not

[@joemama2737]

Yeah I know it’s the same game as before but now it’s laggy and there’s like random npc’s and stuff? I could have swore this game used to be better

[@stevethebarbarian9876]

The game was never great, it was always just “shoe simulator,” now it’s “chaotic incoherent nonsense shoe simulator with random NPCs”

[@seaseaseaseaseaseaseasea]

holy shit what happened to this game why'd it turn into a mobile game ad

[@vodkawhisperer3923]

It literally is there are random stock assets flying everywhere for no reason

[@3dDoener]

[@Dan-zp4ln]

Thanks for that warning, Criken. I'm sensitive to male nudity, but just the upper half.

[@trumbogrumbo363]

I'm surprised that THIS of all streams got a video made out of it

[@dorffy]

The game looks like one of those mobile game ads you see that makes no sense.

[@crisperstorm]

Man they really completely butchered the game I mean it wasn't anything GOTY before but man did they trash it between this stream and the first time they played

[@bloodblade1221]

damn this game sure took a fat L in development

[@BeastnodeG]

they fucking ruined this game jesus christ

[@Samuelrt5]

Pretty much the same way the cube got ruined by the sequels.

[@tovarischshashlikov]

@@Samuelrt5 they wanted to stay "true to form" 💀

[@dopaminecloud]

@@Samuelrt5 All cube movies are ridiculous horror camp. They got a bit more silly as they went on, but they're really all very adjacent in quality. First one is cheesy as hell.

[@sammymcsam1576]

@@dopaminecloud first one is a decent low budget movie imo

[@thesaviorofsouls5210]

@@dopaminecloud the first one is great, they had a low budget and played around it pretty damn well. Its far from a masterpiece but its pretty great, i suposse knowing the concept behind it before watching takes away from the fun tho.

[@thatonelegend817]

How do you honestly make a game go from a fun looking indie title made by a small studio to something that looks like it was made by your 8 yr old nephew

[@CerberusB1]

Every time I see this game it's somehow completely different than the last

[@LesserOfTwoWeevils]

How is this game WORSE than it was in like pre-alpha or whatever they played it last time

[@ImmuneToKnives]

It's a fun game but gets old fast because "puzzles" arent really puzzles. Just throw your shoe into the room and see if it's a trap. My wife, her sister and I played this and the 3rd one a few times and it did entertain us for a while. I don't recommend playing the 3rd one.

[@supershasha]

There’s a third one? How long have these games been out?

[@JoviaI1]

How is this even passable as a game???

[@dafire9634]

You'd be surprised what counts as "passable" as a game nowadays

[@ThatZenoGuy]

Small hat tribe.

[@SirBork]

The CUUUBE has come back to punish us for abandoning it

[@thisaccountnameiscompletel8949]

I swear when I played this game with my mate a couple years ago it was never this buggy.

[@GoldKnightProduction]

[@user-rp5mv1zx2g]

Sad to see how this game turned out

[@ncrranger34]

It’s lovey seeing buck again.

[@Bonehouse]

did worthikid animate those? that was so good

[@AntiAntagonist]

I was thinking the same thing. Only thing missing was the Rankin-Bass mouth he likes to use.

[@IndustrialBonecraft]

"What if we adapted the film 'Hypercube' but made it infinitely worse?"

[@holysenko4753]

Love your videos man

[@thesaviorofsouls5210]

Damn...this game went downhill huh it actually looked pretty fun a few years back. Now it looks like a mess.

[@icaine16]

Talk about a downgrade from the first one, this is embarrassing

[@Laoruperteen18]

This is one of those games that ive seen a LOT of people play, but then amazed that Criekn wasnt among any of those people until now, this is something i thought i had already seen, but apparently never did, and now im glad i have :D

[@LesserOfTwoWeevils]

he has

[@rhodrambles3943]

After the mess of this on stream, surprised this became a video on this channel.

[@samw2670]

So they made the cube video game. Nice

[@satanssonbob]

It’s 4 am I just had a double shift and I open up to this. I’m so wet rn thank you

[@assassinfox24]

They had to add all the goofy wacky crazy silly haha NPCs to make the game seem more interesting. They are clearly meant for high comedy "Person hit the deadly thing, then oh no hehe haha, look at them get got for being silly little goobers." you know the type of stuff the mindless babies can giggle at to convince themselves they aren't just wasting time on a hot pile.

WAIT...is your intro animated by worthikids?

[@Haru-spicy]

oh my god they made a fucking battle royale mode out of it i hate everything about what i'm seeing

[@AbysswalkerD]

Imma take a wild guess and say the Elden Ring series is dead?

[@cain9851]

The Dark Souls 3 series went multiple months without updates so it could be the same

[@lawrencewidemouth]

I mean he’s completed elden ring, he just needs the videos made

yes.

Ye

[@pce0]

yeyeye

[@newnamesameperson397]

The game is based off the cube movies and in those movies the cube rooms do some wild stuff like bringing the past and future into the present also driving people into insanity. In a way thus game is very true to the movies, maybe the land mine guy is stuck in a loop, that happened in the movie, the nerdy guy got stuck in a loop of being cannibalized in the movie. Of course if you never seen the movies then this game looks like random nonsense

[@fishyboi98]

Nice try, developer of the game.
