I have went through all games I played on steam in the past 16 years, and there's a lot of them. I was starting to think I'll not find one, because while there are games I tried that I didn't particularly like, they weren't by any objective measure "bad", and just name-dropping a decent game that just completely did not tickle my fancy unfair. I also didn't want to use any of the games I have like

16:57 The Magic Circle is a great hidden gem, I'm surprised the devs ended up working on a South Park game of all things, how strange

I'll have to check it out. I think the devs actually did a decent job, just not a great structure overall. But that could've been passed down from higher up.

[@FelisImpurrator]

​@@YourFavoriteSon1It's probably a time and budget thing. I mean, if the main complaint is "it'd be a great game if it had more game", the problem is not the devs being bad at their job.

​@cantonnierbethcepourlavhy6343 because it's like mw3 that is basically 300 gbs. Welcome to the gaming industry.

[@UltimatePerfection]

​@@cantonnierbethcepourlavhy6343 It's because of the audio, lol. If the game is made in Unreal, it's definitely audio. Unreal doesn't support anything other than WAV for the sound files, unless you add support for something sane such as OGG yourself. WAV gives huge files because it is uncompressed. If the game contains any video assets, that's probably also part of the issue, because video compression in Unreal is terrible as well (though unlike with the audio, the compression at least exists here).

[@Treblebeatgames]

What sucks about JJK is that the arena fighters can be something more. The ultimate ninja games are fantastic ways to experience naruto again,

[@Riftweaver1981]

for future videos, could you maybe add a 'current review score at time of recording' sort of thing at the start of each clip? just seems strange that you're doing a 'worst reviewed' series without actually telling us what the reviews are

[@cleanshowcases7752]

I mean, the esports one seems pretty realistic from the esports guys I know.

[@JuniperJadePR]

I feel disappointed about Fast Food simulator since with that concept, you can do soooo many different things like having a market study feature where you research restaurants around you/things the community currently likes, inflation (price of food goes up or down on given days), restaurant reviews, visits from the health department, etc.

[@RecentCobra]

I'm still annoyed about the South Park game. I don't watch the show and don't really care to, but I played the 2 turn based games and they were really good. Only for them to just sh1t out this COOP one as a follow up

[@YourFavoriteSon1]

On one hand, I was super dissapointed we didn't get another turn based game, but on the other hand this game was cool in it's own way, just not fully baked at all. Basically just more live service nonsense.

[@cantonnierbethcepourlavhy6343]

This one really felt like a genuine shovelware, rather than a full-fledge south park experience.

[@richardcaraballo1185]

Same here fam. After the last 2 great South Park RPG's, I was about ready to pick this one up as soon as I saw it. They definitely hit us with the okie doke switcheroo with this one.

[@GenderedMess]

Literally, those two games are amazing. They're not hard to get a hang of and the controls are really easy to understand, the story is amazing, its cool you can make your own character and it actually felt like an episode that would have been released. Then there's snow day.

[@Verydeadbarbie]

My biggest issue with cursed clash is that there ia no offline 1 v 1 or even 2 v 2... i cant play ofline with my boyfriend who is sitting right next to me. We both love these silly little arena fighter games, and where so sad this one didnt have local multiplier

[@HyenaSheep]

ngl the decay of logos makes me quite sad cuz the visuals are actually really pretty and unique. I think it has a cool concept its just not well optimized. Id love to play a game where you are one of the few survivals of your village and you have to get a long with your pet companion in order to survive. Even the idea of stress is great, more you get to know the animal it get less stressed and you two could build a close relationship. That actually sounds great a RPG and even a dnd game but it would need bigger budget and overall better team etc

[@TheBalthassar]

Actually being the 'most refunded' game on Steam is a hard bar to reach with mess with The Day Before.

Not trying to be a dick, just some advice. Your mic is waaay too boomy and full of low end. If you're using EQ, don't boost the bass nearly as much. If you aren't using EQ, move your mic further from your mouth, the proximity effect is making it super boomy and hard to listen to on speakers.

Good thing that I didn't fall for Surgeon Sim 2. Granted, that was mostly because of the Bossa cashgrab called Worlds Adrift that they dropped only after few short weeks, but still.

[@zombie_funeral]

on top of the points mentioned in this video, i think south park snow day is doing so awful because the games that came before it were so good. the fractured but whole and the stick of truth r genuinely amazing games. the rpg gameplay is incredibly fun, and the way the games look is awesome. like, one of the coolest parts of those first two games is that they look like actual footage from the tv show. its like ur in an actual episode. snow day takes both of these aspects and throws them out the window, getting rid of all the uniqueness that the first two games had. now snow day is just a generic looking shooter game. it feels like they were just trying to capitalize on the battle royale trend. its really unfortunate tbh

The quest is pretty nice, a lot of good upgrades, a lot of exclusive games. And the ability to be able to play un-tethered is pretty fun if you use it.

[@pokeninjafireemblem]

Part of the problem with the Battlefront Collection is that Battlefront 2 from 2005 is still available on Steam, and I think with a few mods is just as functional as it used to be

[@vladgaming2731]

Blood of Titans - card game. Started as very good game, P2W elements included from start but players was able to make best decks simply playing. And one year ago one big update change everything. Quality of game go downhill, making game completely P2W, not possible to make any progress as F2P player, and they changed half cards abilities to worse. Some cards that players buy for real money get completely changed to worse, some even unplayable! After that every update bring more P2W bs and bad stuff. Finally last updated bring some few good stuff.
