I Finished Balan Wonderworld and Almost Lost my Mind

[@austinskywalker92]

Yup he's done. No more torture for this man, please! We get the picture that no one I repeat NO ONE should touch this game.....EVER! Otherwise you may lose your mind....just like with Jared here who almost lost his!

[@brandonstinson4988]

He's not done until he finishes the extra levels!

36:37 why does this give me flashbacks to armoured master xehanort from kh3 in the first phase of the boss fight after the xeha-clones where he folds scala-ad-caelum into a cube.

[@gagejoseph91]

All the bosses in this game are basically other-dimension Doofenshmirtz. Lost his toy train, becomes a world-conquering tyrant. 'Cuz why not?

[@joshuana5132]

Yeah, loved the boss designs in the game, but stunk that they were so simple to fight despite the amazing designs they had.

[@FlameAndMan]

Feels like the boss designs and the actual gameplay is design by different person

[@ShadowThunder1234]

I'm so happy I played the demo before buying it

[@marsil602the2nd]

the demo really cemented the whole balan situation lol

[@wolfe6705]

Now that you’ve done it, get rid of the damn thing and forget about it FOREVER.

[@MythicMachina]

I still think that the worst thing about this game is how there IS backstory for everything... in the tie in novel.

[@SuperHalo-rn4rr]

I can't wait for many years later, this game becomes a generation's "Kingdom Hearts" and it inspires square to remake it (hopefully for the better). It'll be the best redemption story ever. ❤

[@C_Train74]

Maybe we’ll get to enter this world in Kingdom Hearts.

[@calebgoodman3028]

Maybe they could actually put in the story this time. You know. The story that was *sold separately as a physical book you had to read!*

[@Kelm_Kisaragi]

Wanna know the worst part? If you even care enough to wonder what's happening in the story, you have to buy a book, they didn't even bother to put a summary in the game

[@willowingwhispers2612]

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING, THUMB?" Probably trying to get you to exit the game 🤣

[@Mark-fc7tu]

I remember hearing that there's a fully fleshed out story in the novelization that exists separately from the game. It was an odd choice.

[@LixienXIII]

Damn. This man needs FFXVI to come out ASAP.

4:50 A Easter Bunny without Easter Egg, literally, very sad situation 🥲😥😢

With the thumbnail you could swear Wonderworld was a horror game lol. actually it probably is from a certain point of view.😂

[@kaliminif2841]

Who told you it wasn’t lmao

Imagine if they put Balan Wonderworld in a Kingdom Hearts game.

[@DanielAnnear]

Wait did you do all that for a second gate/act to appear for ALL THE WORLDS fudge that mate. Rest now pal!

[@purpleirken1529]

Only Jared can make something bad THIS entertaining XD

[@ZeranZeran]

this looks like a strange port of -Super Monkey Ball- Ape Escape for the PSP Lol

[@Enixgeek]

0:25 just like Kingdom Hearts.

[@LpDodo]

Thank you Cynical for playing the game so I didn't have to 🙏🏼

[@k-dog4436]

I love the Gamers Joint reaction every time he beats the boss, then there’s a dance.😂

[@calebgoodman3028]

Let me also point out this game is about kids consumed by despair and trauma helping other people consumed by despair and trauma and basically saying *don’t commit you know what.* You read that right. THEY PUT THE ENTIRE PLOT AND SCRIPT OF THE GAME IN A BOOK THEY DIDN’T ADVERTISE!!! WHY??? For better or worse... *It’s actually good unlike the game!*

[@silentember84]

Nice vid. I hope you start speedrunning now since I gave you that tip lol

[@jekessalee4047]

It official after Jared played Balan Wonder World Jared decided to stay in The Realm of Darkness just like Aqua After experiencing this game where all you could do it seems is jump The Rage is real with this one thanks for another video man this is hysterical to watch thank you for making it ✌ ps thanks for the laughs as well 😂

Final boss: Balan within Balan awaits you cynical!

[@iamtaco4207]

So when do we get to see those sweet sweet bonus levels?? 🤣🤣

[@frostgem8013]

Personally, just casually going through the game wasn't too bad, a little frustrating, but not too bad. The unfortunate thing is this game had soo much potential but like Inafune, Naka fell victim to being over confident with his ideas.

[@likobeatshodge9800]

@thegamersjoint Final boss song sounds like KH? Ryo yamazaki worked on the game, his previous works were on ff and KH 😂

[@MirageCross]

Yay you're done now either set the game on fire or get you the Ultima Tim

[@burnum]

Rayman 1 is more difficult that the original Crash Trilogy.

I don't think the data Organization fights from KH3 Remind broke Jared as much as Balan Wonderworld

[@86fifty]

Your suffering was appreciated! I salute you! This game is so... disappointing, I guess?? Cuz the designs are fire. The game just needs, like, several more months if not YEARS of development. And subtitles. Ansem Reports to bring in that eBook that apparently explains all the lore, idk. Like, Persona Q2 did a somewhat similar thing, and did it so much better because the mechanics were there! Bah, anyway. No point complaining about a game that's THIS bad! You've done that hard work for all of us! Now... mama's gotta go look up an artbook... for... reasons... :3
