I love how the story doesn't even build up to the fact the player character is a god through mystery and plot, it's just like "speak this password".

[@qwellen7521]

This whole game feels like a scheme to clean a criminal syndicate’s dirty money.

[@Klyttorius]

That's what microtransactions feel like to me. Are whales just syndicates?

[@g0lgrim1]

@@Klyttorius Now i want a investigative reportage about this theory...

[@brodiemacleod69]

Around this time getting into the big studios was competitive and hard, requiring substantial "experience" So, a lot of new grad devs in animation, 3D art etc would either start their own studios, or take a job at these "Game studios". Most of these studios had little to no managerial structure whatsoever, with an extremely short shelf life before simply disappearing. Of course, you would work on a "Game", but knowing that it probably would never be realeased. If the game is "finished" before the company has laundered enough money or whatever, shit like this gets released.

[@benmcreynolds8581]

Can we just point out how well the Blacksmith crafted her Chest armor to perfectly outline her nipples thru the metal.. lol

[@JustMe99999]

Hey, big nipples need special protection.

[@fosphor8920]

"Destroying them with his levitating DJ skills" 🤣

[@derangedcomics]

Blackadder cameo was perfect. :D

[@PinchyTheKittyGirl]

This guy sounds like David Attenborough doing reviews on horrible games. What a legend.

[@FeiFongWang]

This is the best Magus review on KZbin. You have outdone yourself Mitch.

[@MissFirefly11]

I agree! 😂

[@AspieMemoires]

Gotta give it some credit with the Unicorn miners, that is some creature design I wasn’t expecting and is kind of unique to me.

[@555RavenCrow]

The mOnotaur? Very unique. Very different.

[@Dr-Weird]

I don't know. Green was pretty groundbreaking

[@bobdrooples]

Zebracorns, surely.

[@vinceb8123]

"Unique" is what comes out when you lock your devs in with only a metric ton of crack cocaine

[@Nikodeamus]

HAHAHA! "bum-debris"...thats worth a sub and a like.

[@blueswing2212]

Mitch, i hope you realize now that i'm fully expecting an awards show at the end of the year where one of the categorys are "most ridicoulus game of the year"

[@MitchManix]

That sounds like a right laugh 😂

[@deathbyignoranceYT]

we already have two neck-and-neck contenders this year, Gollum and King Kong

[@kurgisempyrion6125]

+1 for using Blackadder clip :)

[@uselessDM]

I for one applaud the developers for making their game piss easy. Normally the approach seems to be to make such games impossibly hard to avoid most players seeing most of the cringe. Here you can at least cruise through it and laugh about it.

[@ZacHawkins42]

The Blackadder clip alone warrants a thumbs up, not to mention the rest of your hard work as well. Thanks for the laughs

[@Griffnationn]

The only channel that can take a bad game and make it incredibly enjoyable to watch. All love Mitch. Great content.

[@pulltheleverkronk5837]

2:44 what a beautiful hymn

[@underthewheels3666]

That TP advert was pure gold. "Codpiece Weekly" had me completely out of breath laughing. Fantastic video.

[@MrSatsugin]

God, since I discovered this channel I always check to see if there are new videos, I laughed from beggining to end, and that levitate skill just looks like the dude is dancing thriller in the air.

[@murk6sh]

This channel deserves to blow up. I dont mean in the explosive way either. So much work goes into your videos and you can tell, it feels so professional but still allowing itself to be funny.

[@brindle21]

Totally agree, his videos are unique and so professional , and as someone recently said, 'legendary'!

[@MitchManix]

Really appreciate that. Getting excited about 100k..then the world! Mahahahahaha!

[@MissFirefly11]

100% ❤

[@southcoastinventors6583]

Giving this post more good vibes

[@KubinWielki]

Damn, seeing what the game looks like, the raw UI and all, I expected that it's just some student project distributed for free or for donations, but damn, that was actually SOLD to people?

[@brindle21]

Your editing is just brilliant. Mitch Mandrex😂😂. Great video, but expect no less from you😊

[@brofenix]

@2:24 I literally said "Nooo......" out loud at seeing the "Green Ring" enhance your "Green" magic. Wow.

[@sherrihaight2724]

Magic brownie points for perfect inclusion of a BlackAdder clip!!!!

[@MegaKuchiku]

That oblivion clip totally caught me off guard

[@MissFirefly11]

There are so many funny parts to this video I cant possibly comment on my fav bit, just know you made my day hahaha 😂

[@KaisersGB]

The product placement bit was on point! 😂 My goodness I need a laugh today and you never fail to do just that, keep up the stellar work my friend 🍻

[@lordmontymord8701]

I've heard the tales, but i didn't believe them. Thanks for showing this masterpiece! We need an HD-remaster!

[@jameslauriente1049]

The citrus polos got me good😂

[@glkification]

02:50 "...and his holy wrath of citrus polos" 😂😂😂

[@tarron3237]

That game feels like the result of someone going "Pff, I can make an RPG, too. Can't be that hard"

[@thaleusthered]

I can't believe he was able to play this much of the game, I got bored of it like an hour in but it seems I missed this gem lmao

[@conmangames32]

Just brilliant 👏 😂😂😂😂. Still not seen or found a better youtube channel 😂😂

[@RedRoomDisco]

Thank you for the picture of the Citrus Polos for someone who doesn't live where they're sold

[@freddberg5712]

This guy keeps pumping out banger videos! Thanks for the laugh mate!

[@stuflames4769]

Imagine having the planet sized balls to actually release this to the paid market years after Dark Souls. Respect.

[@southcoastinventors6583]

Another fun video congrats on 100k in advance, any channel that uses Black Adder refences is aces.

[@circeciernova1712]

"... with the Undead Keeper running towards us like a toddler chasing after an ice cream truck." Can you say Billy Kincaid?

[@gokulauri]

Is the woman voiced by Liara T'Sonis voice actor?

[@roksoulja84]

I cracked up while holding my green plastic mug with OJ when he said “citrus polo” 😂

[@angelmessenger8240]

Thank you. The best laugh I've had in ages.

[@atheist_addict]

Where has this channel been all my life?

[@Mike55690]

Your commentary and witty humor absolutely killed me this video Mitch! Genuinely a stellar review! These videos are always hilarious but this one was perfection!

[@MitchManix]

Cheers mate 😊

[@irighterotica]

With every new video that isn't about Kenshi, my feeling that I was lured into subscribing via your excellent storytelling and sense of humor deepens. I mean, even if that were somehow revealed to be the case, I can't be mad bc I'm enjoying the non-Kenshi stuff just as much. I do want to know how Arthur, Skibbidi (sp?) and company's adventure continues though, ngl. So I ask: will there be a part 3? I must know. 😖

[@MitchManix]

I really enjoyed making those videos so I’m not sure when but I am looking to make more :)

[@irighterotica]

@@MitchManix Cool, good to know!

[@JessWLStuart]

LOL! Codpeace Weekly? If that isn't a thing, it should be a magazine expression of Python-esque humor!

[@bearVshark100]

Every time you put this game in its temporal context I lost my mind.

[@saltymisfit6566]

I like to imagine one of the devs on a job interview for another company and they go well what are you working on and he goes I worked on Magus. And then just go oh really all the while trying not to laugh in his face

[@flare242]

0:16 Dude, i'm ROTFLMAO here - KZbin recommended me this video RIGHT after i saw a vid of a seagull going into a shop through a motion sensing door, getting a sandwich and leaving with it (and recently i also saw a similar seagull stealing a pack of chips from a shop). I guess that birds going through automatic doors are going to be the topic of today...

[@chrisscott8166]

Love the video!

[@techkev140]

This was worth watching just for the duck(?) opening the door.

[@kevincandelario2573]

Bro that undead guy answering a question. He wasn't wrong but damn all that build up for yes, dies

[@zettor47]

Ooooh ima gonna save this for later, it'll require my full attention 😮

[@Squirrel-Ace]

Oh crap citrus polos… such happy memories. Thanks Mitch

[@Necromorphicon]

Two Worlds was very underrated gem....so much innovation in it.

[@freakjob0]

I would say at a glance. It looks like the creative department didn't put a lot of effort in but on second thought, I think there was no creative department at all.

[@jpbm1873]

The voice actor for Kinna is the same as Liara from the Mass Effect trilogy...

[@SenorMoody]

Love your vids! Any plans on playing BG3 ??

[@zettor47]

I think i spotted magus in the classics streaming section of playstation plus premium awhile back, i'll give it a miss 😂

[@calumsanderson6741]

"Infamous for its terrible nonsense" I mean, that sums up our existence in its totality, though.

[@stormboy1517]

😂codpiece weekly, an excellent publication

[@UndercoverNormie]

I like all of those games... Funny is good

[@TheIshakuro]

I got this game on its launch year, specifically BECAUSE the trailer looked like absolute tripe. Well, I say I got it, A friend bought me it on the grounds that I had to finish it.

[@Hella9318]

Is that Liara T'soni?? Wow she fell on hard times XD

[@Atlan03]

Wait... is this game where the recent "Immortals of Something Something" got the inspiration for its magic system?

[@thehypestpiknick2755]

You ever tried Virtua Fighter? A spin-off of street fighter, rpg elements where you go through a virtual world and fight some evil corporations, a la ready player one. I seem to only remember in being on GameCube.

[@MaitreMechant]

it's funny how this game looks like a unity early access steam game

[@noecarrier5035]

3:59 S-Shadowheart?! Is that you?

[@chrisbent5734]

Immortals of Aveum has finally been patched up, I see.

[@nigellittle6844]

I subscribed as soon as I heard wambo combo

[@JediMage]

I remember some rpg i played as a kid... It was in a huge box with 4 cds, was 3d (althought i dont really remember was it first or third person view) and was something abot magic and technology methinks. All i remember is the game having 0 tutorial, which made me barely able to understand anything happening and stopping playing it entirely. But nowadays i kinda wanna remember what's it called to go back and try to finish it...

[@Thoran666]

I played unmodded Skyrim shortly after release, this seems to about the same experience.

[@ltgreatsocks1]

This game was just hard to believe.

[@bobdrooples]

I dunno, Sandra in accounts was a welcome drink monster at Christmas

[@nonamesinspace1291]

This game feels really nostalgic though I never played it. I think I would have been into it as a young kid

[@giulsrules]

WAIT america, you have "citrus" Polo?!? hand them over

[@seleuf]

If you can find it and get it running, the Legends of Kyrandia is an odd old point-and-click adventure game series.

[@Lagbeard]

3:33 the divine power known as Circle Strafe.

[@MoondustManwise]

Gotta love the super duper sexy unprotective armor on your female companion, and her Super Saunter that you always manage to see from behind in cutscenes. Not even trying to hide the bait, eh?

[@DerpasaurusDomesticus]

I haven't played this since high school lol

[@PrimroseParadox]

This looks like something from 2002 the FAQ you mean it came out the same year as Divinity Original Sin???

[@locktock9]

I feel like this game spent all of its budget on the protagonist dodging an arrow at the start

[@TerminallyNerdy]

Soooooo when you gonna speedrun this one Mitch? You know you want to XD

[@MitchManix]

Lol had the idea to put in that timed bit after getting the footage and that's just how long it took. I think if someone did a speedrun of this game their final time would actually be in the past 😄

[@martmeisterpaladin4074]

2:54 - I used to love those!

[@SerialSnowmanKiller]

This 2014 game looks like it belongs in 2004. That's an insult to 2004, actually; we had Half-Life 2 in 2004.

[@BUCKikwi]

Another RPG with wonky and comedic bugs is Kenshi. However, in my opinion, it is one of the best games ever made.

[@chrisdiokno5600]

I vaguely recall this game

[@zacharytellier-hunt7812]

This game looks like a 1 person Unity project that was made as a school project.

[@valquiore]

Might and magic: dark messiah is definitely a great contender. Nothing is as funny as making goblins and demons trip and break their necks in stairs.

[@attackofthecopyrightbots]

I love that you can end the game siding with the villain and it really doesnt matter

[@AlaiaSkyhawk]

Ahahaha, yup that is definitely a contender for Most Unintentionally Funny RPG. If that weren't a PS exclusive I might well have given that game a look just to mess about with and laugh at how janky is it xD

[@Vhite]

A true spiritual successor to Oblivion.

[@Tomattoism]

Truly one of RGB RPG

[@loofy530]

This game reminded me masterpieces such as Big Rigs existed.

[@theoneandonly2441]

How Aksyd games looked at this and thiught ut was a good idea to release it is beyond me, but one thing for sure, besides this, the studio that worked on the game also worked as development partners for Friday the 13th game in 2018. Good reminder that the game already had its support plugged out and will remain online until 2024. Rrally feel bad for the devs lol

[@yammoto148]

Oh speaking of goofy classics you really need to try the Spellforce series.

[@Endarire]

1:12 THIS! IS! DARK SOULS!

[@eyeball226]

Crazy that it's a PS3 exclusive, as that minuscule HUD in the top left looks like it's made for PC.

[@KamiNoBaka1]

I find it funny that Two Worlds is a contender for unintentionally funniest rpg, but the sequel, where one of the most effective spell combos gives you a hurricane shield full of anvils, isn't even mentioned. It's not like Magicka, either, where the devs clearly intended ridiculous spell combos to happen. Feels like a total accident that Looney Tunes wizardry is one of the most effective things in the game.

[@travisleabeck2572]

Missed the opportunity to say "After the beatdeop"

[@mho...]

There is nothing better then ridiculous nonesense, powered by ragdolls!

[@marcinsmyk]

Can we talk about these enourmously big hands?

[@abrahamscott2280]

Do you have an address for cod piece weekly? It sounds like an interesting read. Oh I hope they have pictures.
