Lost Planet 2 is probably one of my favorite games. I kept multiple copies in college so I could show it to friends or roommates. I showed that game to so many people, hundreds if not thousands of hours in that game since release. I still go back and play it from time to time. It had so many deliberatly designed gameplay descisions for better and for worse. Everyone I played with always had a different takeaway, but the final overall take was always, "That was so bad ass!". It will always be one of my favorites, for the memories, the gameplay, the design.... What a great time. I actually enjoyed LP3's story, but its gameplay was a little bland and lacked that whacky mecha, tactical power ranger-y vibe LP1 and 2 had. I hope one day there is something to chew on, but it's okay if I never see it again. There are plenty of people I can share LP2 with.

Lost planet was very very Japanese And very Capcom. Only lost planet 3 was the non-Capcom one

[@volleyballurrrr]

I’m no Big Boss, but Matt, take a look at a Capcom game called Auto Modellista. It was an early cel-shaded Japanese racing game, released about the time that Fast & Furious culture was taking off in the West (2002). The game is gorgeous, but was hamstrung commercially, in part because for some reason the developers changed the handling model for the western release and the cars drove like ass as a result. I got it for Christmas in 2002 along with a steering wheel for my PS2, I remember being so disappointed that I couldn’t get the hang of driving the cars with the wheel in AM. The campaign was a bit weak, very arcade-y, but it did support online matchmaking / racing against other people which was pretty cool for 2002. That, the art style and the fairly large roster of licensed cars with real licensed aftermarket parts (some of which may never have appeared in another racing game) were such an awesome foundation, and I wonder that happened to make the actual game part of it fall flat, especially the western version.

[@VeraTheTabbynx]

Unfortunately, while the handling was definitely better overseas, it wasn't really a good game at any point. The difficulty barely even exists and tracks are waaaaay too straight, but most of all it just had no content. The US version has the most content, with additional cars like the Viper and new tracks, but they tried to fix the difficulty by simply making the handling suck- which barely helped because the tracks were very straight, and the US version failed to shake that up, merely adding oval tracks as well.

My problem with the 2010-2016 era of Capcom is that their Western collaborations tried to hard to be serious and gritty. Sometimes audiences prefer more lighthearted approaches to gameplay, as can be seen with the success of Fortnite. Bionic Commando Rearmed was great, but the gritty Bionic Commando remake was terrible. It is frustrating that Capcom did not realize this error in perception at the time.

It just wasn't what fans wanted at all, and by turning one of the most unique and charming 3rd Person Shooter franchises into a Gears of War clone, it felt like CAPCOM was telling the OG fans that the jig was already up before the game even came out.

LP3 isn't a bad game, I genuinely enjoyed my playthrough back in the day, but I will always have significant and intense negative feelings towards it due to what it represents.

Lp2 is badass with all the different set pieces, and actually let you explore levels without fear of losing too much t-eng. Lp3 just felt completely boring in comparison taking all of the the things out that I liked, mainly the mechs.

man your voice, way of talking and that skeleton cartoon did it for me .. Subbed!

[@daniderais3562]

Played the Game for the first time earlier this year and enjoyed it. I also played Bionic Commando two years ago and also had a good time with it. I don't know... those Games from the 2010s always have that little something, i can't nail down, but it gets me.

I wake up I miss Lost Planet. I wake up I miss Dead Space. I wake up I don't miss Mass Effect.

Always a good day when a new episode of What Happened drops. 🙏

[@KaeruShinobi]

honestly I'm glad you covered this game, this one was in the back of my mind.

[@epgamer1145]

It was a great game. Honestly not seeing much of a problem aside from possible upgrades in the game you can only get through side quests that do not become available unless you are near the end of the game. So It felt a little pointless when I complete the game to earn upgrades that are now nearly useless.

[@CyrodiilCome]

First game was such a fantastic game. Might re-download it

[@MoonlitWood]

8:51 Oh hey, The Good Life, wasn't expecting to see that come up. Neat!

[@cormoran2303]

Wait wait wait... there was a Lost Planet 3?!? I thought the whole thing died after 2...

[@epgamer1145]

Oh no. The third is awesome just improved quite a bit so much to where it doesn’t feel as familiar to the 1st and 2nd game. Honestly every critics about all three titles seems a little picky. All three are good games. Part 3 scales everything you loved about massive boss battles and mechs up to 100. Pretty solid customization in loadouts as well as having great upgrades to add on both in buying with in game currency and some you earn through the story. Story is great as well. Not sure if you have played it so I won’t spoil it but the game is a prequel to the other two titles. You are looking through the eyes of an off world oil field worker rather than a snow pirate or part of the Nevec faction. You get a whole different view of the conflict between factions you didn’t know had a conflict at first.

8:04 "There's no point in sugarcoating it." DAAAYYUM!

[@mrmandudeplays]

I have fond memories of all three games for all very different reasons. Strange, fun, and unique games (at least the first 2). Who else here had fun with at least one game?

[@andrewnewell1142]

Advance Wars: Wha Happun? The series is cursed, that’s what’s happened

[@blackskulldud57]

In my experience sure they didn't have a insanely huge fan base for Lost Planet 2 but it wasn't because the game was bad at all or anything like that it's just no one even knew about it I still talk about it to this day and I've literally asked a ton of people if they played Lost Planet 2 before nowadays and they've never even heard of the game let alone Lost Planet 3 witch even a ton of Lost Planet 2 players don't even know it exists due to the fact of it not catering to it's only existing fan base which including me was expecting them to follow what Lost Planet 2 laid out and build upon that and make it and even better game and we were all psyched for it then we found out it was single player in before we even saw the first trailer we all forgot about it.

[@aaderall]

forgot about it for the best tbh. the game had such huge spikes in quality, going from feeling engaged and really enjoying the game to "oh shit not another one of these levels" REALLY quickly. the amount of bugs really really bothered me too (enemies disappearing and reappearing after dying)

[@Mechpilot0790]

Thanks for the reminder, I really enjoyed Remember Me's combo stacking system. I wish more games had that gimmick

[@EightyThor]

Lost Planet 2 was so much fun with Co-op

[@vzerby]

I know it was nothing like the games before but I found Lost Planet 3 to be an interesting change of pace and style of story. The just another day on the job vibe was pretty neat I thought and having this be a prequel to the others explains so much why it was more rough around the edges than the other two. The umbilical system with the rig added a nice reliance of wanting to stick close to it during combat (the umbilical system only gave you a HUD if your were close to the rig)

[@matthewboer8279]

Issue with the indoor sections though was you lost your hud and ability to swap weapons. So if you pick the wrong load out you would need to backtrack.

[@CybershamanX]

Wow. I JUST got all three games. Looking forward to checking them out. 😀

[@WhispyWoods.]

Another well done vid 👏

[@HahnDeathspark]

I still want an English version of Extroopers, like not a patched one or anything, I wanna actually be able to buy it and play it

[@69werle]

I love LP2 such a cool game, i hope someday the series go back to the coop fiesta it once was.

[@AkumetsuLord]

EX Trooper is so good. Lots of fun, style and great music. Sucks it didn't do well (and no localized version because of how they made it? ehh idk). With even Lost Planet 3 being low, so i guess people didn't bored of the series (asides from the other problems).

[@baelm]

Did not even know this was a game until a month ago and I just beat it. I like it quite a bit.

[@TerravancerYoh]

Matt's gotten another Art shift for the Skull man tuber avatar, very squishy!

[@CheezeWuz]

If he researched Spark for 2 mins, he would have ran out of that office screaming Spark had a huge lawsuit with Activation because... can't make this up.... Spark was going to be a Treyarch. Not "the Treyarch" but one of the main studios that would be licensed out to make call of duty seemingly for consoles. They screwed it up so bad they basically didn't make it. I can't remember but one of the main studios made it. I think the court pages are still up somewhere

[@7ctony]

I loved lost planet 2 . Was so hyped for 3 , then it was an entirely different game that I loved.

[@JMobster9]

I remember picking up Lost Planet 2 one summer on a whim and I had an absolute blast. The co-op was amazing and the game was just overall fun in general. First time I saw gameplay for 3 I knew it wasn't going to be good. Why'd the think going from the bombastic action of 2 to grounded cover based action would sell? I'll never understand.

[@etansivad]

OMG! Legendary, I actually played and enjoyed that game. It was an odd little spin on Pandora's box.

[@insenir]

This new model sheet for your character is great!

[@KRDiStort]

The only thing I really remember about the Lost Planet series is that one of the robots from it was a playable character in Tatsunoko VS Capcom. Kinda ironic as I'm not sure how many people even remember Tatsunoko VS Capcom.

[@edgarlozada3858]

Fighting game fans or VS Capcom fans do remember it, usually.

[@Klonoahedgehog]

That games Capcom roster had a few deep cuts in it like Lost Planet, Rival schools and wherever the hell Saki came from.

[@KRDiStort]

@@Klonoahedgehog Saki's from Quiz Nanairo Dreams.

[@homeaccount5943]

I loved the Lost Planet games ! I still own them on PS3 !

[@WhiplashPuppet]

0:53 Man, Destroy All Monsters Melee on Gamecube was amazing. One of the 1st games I got with my GC, no regrets.

[@misterskarbero5374]

Happy youre covering this game! recently just bought it and was very disapointed with my revist.

[@DrayLoco]

Love your videos man been watching you online for a decade now
