MORTOS - It Was Better In Early Access And It Was Shit Back Then

[@IGVGameplayreviews]

Well that's odd. The dev is from Italy and the only positive reviews on steam are in Italian. Totally not abusing the steam review system ;)

[@SmigGames]

That's obviously a coincidence. How many more countries are there anyway?

[@Gliptalful]

As an Italian, I'm truly sorry this is a thing.

[@Blunderbussy]

dude its not responsability of Italy, every cunt on the planet can release a game and abuse Greenlight You have good stuff too, like the Roman Empire, the pasta or Mussolinni. Actually scratch that last one, he ... he... yeah...

[@pierre-baptistedupuis7629]

More importantly, when does the next LAM books comes out?

[@fedorafinder]

Italian is the one true language.

[@SeyrenVT]

So it pulled a Cat Simulator: Shit in Early Access, shittier in release.

[@Leetgrain]

They... misspelled the name of their game at the bottom of the main menu. Wow. That gives me a *_LOT_* of hope.

[@themadsaint6751]

Jim, you don't realise how much these uploads help my shit call centre life of a day. thanks dude.

[@Rapture141]

The Mad Saint I work in a call centre myself and I totally agree, Jim helps me through the day!

[@UnstablePax]

The Mad Saint fuck, if Jim Sterling existed when I worked in customer service, my days would have been 1000x better!

[@Blunderbussy]

I always do my best to be as polite and considered to call center employees. I know their job is shit and most people treat them as crap. I hope you have a good day :)

[@DudeTheMighty]

This right here. I cringe whenever my mom calls a customer support line because she always turns to me whenever she gets put on hold in the middle of a call and says "My Name Peggy" in a sarcastic tone (a reference to an old credit card ad campaign that made fun of shady foreign banks). She's... I think "rural" is the polite word for it. Yeah, let's go with that.

[@georgesears934]

Mortos sounds like the name of some generic final boss in a D&D campaign where the Dungeon Master is really phoning it in.

[@Some_Really_Random_Dude.]

Sounds more like a shitty heavy metal band that tried way too hard at sounding cool, or some thing people say at Dios de Muertos.

[@georgesears934]

It's also one of the permutations of "Mort", the latin root word for death which spawned most of the Romance Languages' versions of the word.

[@SmigGames]

They basically changed the name from Undeads to Deads, but in Portuguese, so no one would notice :P

[@thegrimner]

Overlord in evil, that was actually how Sepultura got their name.

[@Camkitsune]

Mortos Der Soul-Stealer was a one-shot character from Invader Zim; that was the connection I made, considering the common thread of hilarious ineptitude.

[@CrewGlove]

In the menu at the bottom of the screen instead of MORTOS it says Morots. Because what else would it say.

[@CrewGlove]

***** When they were still learning to spell their name...

[@DoppeD]

I thought it was extra funny since "morot" in Swedish means "carrot".

[@ChodaBoyUSA]

LOL, I was about to post the same thing.

[@Corpseplower]

DoppeD - The developer(s) just wanted it to be known that their original intention was to make a game featuring undead carrots. When they couldn't get the rights to turn Bunnicula into a game, they churned out this turd instead.

[@yourethatmantis5178]

I remember Mortos, travels to our dimention from the demon realm every thousand years to be an incredibly annoying mooch.

[@toddseekins8874]

INVADER ZIM REFERENCE!!!!!

[@hibachimk240]

At the bottom of the title screen, the little copyright says "Morots[UNDEADS]" . You know it's a quality product when the developer can't even be bothered to spell its name right.

[@ThEjOkErIsWiLd00]

Let's be honest, the only reason this game exists is because trading cards.

[@SmigGames]

Hey, it's not representative of the final product alright? They'll have better misspellings later on.

[@hobanagerik]

+Hibachi MK2 That's not how you spell "developer". 😏

[@ThEjOkErIsWiLd00]

hobanagerik Yeah, but Hibachi isn't trying to sell you his comment.

[@hibachimk240]

Still, I corrected it. :)

[@zanon__]

HD remake of Slaughtering Grounds.

[@Jetiko27]

You see, with the latest store update, Early Access titles lost practically all visibility. So I expect there will be a number of games rushed to "completion" now.

[@Skaryon]

They misspelled the game's name at the bottom in the title screen... wow

[@franzhopper7631]

Just change that T to an N and you've got what the developers are.

[@Antiskull23]

Skaryon and... "mortos" is italian for dead, not undead

[@itzsouloflol]

mortos doens't mean dead in italian ;) morto means dead in italian

[@Antiskull23]

RaD agreed Xp

[@YouSoSpice]

Mortos means More Toss in italian

[@NickPiers]

Mortos sounds like something you'd shout if you had a foot fetish. MORE TOES!

[@slendy9600]

Nick Piers lol

[@spybird5870]

Nick Piers well done.

[@robertcornhole5197]

MORTOS: THE HANDS OF FATE

[@TheLateKnight4785]

At your request they revised the spelling on the game over screen to "You R Dead".

[@HAZARDOUS88]

It's The Slaughtering Grounds basically.

[@Burusagi]

I'm my own original game Blaughtering Blounds!

[@beta2320]

ill do the same, but it'll be called... *PIece of shit; the nonexistent sequel to The Slaughtering Grounds*

[@Burusagi]

Real talk: this game is even worse than Slaughtering Grounds. At least it had some kind of sound design outside of stock gunshot sounds (like the infamous music) and it was almost charmingly campy in it's asset flipping. This game isn't just bad, but it is uncharmingly sterile and dull.

[@Eon2641]

I agree, as much as it hurts to give DH even a backhanded compliment, at least slaughtering grounds had some sense of style to it... it was a chaotic mess of a style but still, it was something. This is truly the most bland and boring thing I've seen on here in a while, and it's about as good in terms of quality and design choices. In fact I'd even say most of DH's design decisions were better (assuming they actually worked properly and weren't utterly broken)... and ain't that a scary thought.

[@ChJees2]

The Slaughtering Grounds was more complete than this trash, and it was shit too. This is a objectively worse game.

[@cyanmanta]

"I've probably given it to everyone in New York." ...G'night, everybody.

[@RuSosan]

+Markus Glanzer Well, Slaanesh just likes that because netorare.

[@sirjaunty1]

Maybe he has Alpha Legion-naires disease. See what I did there?

[@OxyOxspring]

cyanmanta

[@Geospasmic]

Ah, the stately Astroturf Cemetery.

[@thegamesresearcher]

The fact i had to watch an ad before i could see Jim's video indicates he got a claim...

[@StephenMeansMe]

Amazing, those health drops give you +2% health. SO GENEROUS. (And it took me a looooong time to figure out where the goddamn health bar was.)

[@WrathXV]

When doing videos of 'games' that have come out of early access. Could you post a video link to your coverage of the early access version in your description?

[@leXie_Concussion]

Can I just say that the gun animations hurt my soul?

[@ares106]

I recently for sick in New York. Thanks Jim!

[@fatherenricopucci7354]

and the best part is... the developer constantly harasses people who make bad reviews

[@Mir_Teiwaz]

I like how the handgun sounds like the noise Duck Hunt makes when you fire the Zapper.

[@tgsachris]

Running out of ammo like that brings back so homicidal memories

[@luckycharms8282]

Reminds me of those amateur COD zombie mods on PC. The difference is theyre free and have the cod engine as a foundation.

[@revenhyrule7405]

Cause this is thrillllllerrr thriller night, where zombies slip and slide and it's mostly to the right cause this is thriller. Lmao

[@mazazon]

I think in the start menu they spelt their own games name wrong. At the bottom it says "Morots(UNDEADS)" I wonder if they wrote the wrong name on their copyright application.

[@hypnotic13371337]

What kind of "Zombie horse wave survival" game has you LOOKING FOR THE ZOMBIES TO KILL?! Shouldn't they be the ones coming to you? Isn't that supposed to be the point of a wave based survivor? to make the player get inconvenienced by not being prepared?

[@jacoposimone3117]

È ancora una volta noi ITALIANI siamo riusciti a farci riconoscere :)

[@Ironman1o1]

With those animations, they should have sold this game as a dance party simulator.

[@DeusMachina_EXE]

Didn't notice that Connor. XD thank you for that info!

[@sirjaunty1]

Get well soon Jim Lad. Mind how you go on the Nightnurse, as the senior consultant said to the junior doctor. ; )

[@GreyMercury]

The Zombie at 13:37 has some pretty sweet dance moves.

[@Bleentron]

This game really makes me think. A church? Graveyard? Shooting? Undead? I should go play Painkiller.

[@PookaBot]

I like that you can be out of shotgun ammo, but there are still five shells attached to the side of the gun.

[@little_isalina]

I like that their copyright disclaimer calls the game Morots.

[@boogiestreet594]

Jim. I have a bunch (like shed loads) of emails from the brother of the slaughtering grounds guy. i started emailing him to find out what the crap was all about, and he told me in detail exactly what their motives for making such crappy games was. Are you interested in me forwarding all the emails onto you? They may help if these guys are trying to sue you?

[@slendy9600]

Anthony Quigley its likely he wont see this so you may want to post it on the jimquisition subreddit, folks will upvote and hell be more likely to see. he might have a business email on his website jimquisition.com somewhere you might be able to talk to him directly that way

[@flashbangthrudadoor24]

[@ShadowAkatora]

3:45 - That's gotta be among the top shittiest gunplays I've seen.

[@kr-geats1043]

I'm Italian, and I'm sorry for this shit

[@Athawolfus]

I can't find Jim's earlier Undeads video

[@young50ny]

Dammit Jim if I get sick u will be hearing from my lawyers lol

[@countesschewi2399]

Gotta love a game where firing an automatic gun has the firing sound effect stop the previous firing SFX rather than have them play fully loose the sound would actually do in real life. A sign of quality programming/sound design for sure.

[@SharewareWizard]

'ministry of silly walks' stealing that joke for my next zombie shooting session.

[@varmintx0]

"moldy zombie vag" Wasn't expecting to hear that phrase while eating breakfast.

[@Spaceboy_moptop]

These firearm animations make CS:GO stock animations look amazing.

[@TheKiroshi]

Shots fired! /pun intended

[@often7163]

3:20 And this is how the Dollar Flu began, Agent.

[@cristian2452]

level design? what is that?

With these asset flips how can you be sure that it is Undeads?

[@heathercalun4919]

I only clicked on this video to see how many people made Invader Zim jokes in the comment section. And you disappoint me, KZbin.

[@korn7809]

Don't headshots work really well on zombies?

[@giorgiogalati2623]

Good work Italy, good work. Madonna che schifo.

[@DeadCamper]

At this point I'm just assuming you're trolling us with refusing headshots. (Love you)

[@arcticcirclepit2008]

As a resident of NYC, I blame you for my snotty nose tonight. Way to be Patient Zero, dude.

[@fredericksmith7942]

But Jiiiiim! What about the gun sound effects?

[@Seffyzero]

Why the heck does the knife have an ammo counter?

[@tyrongkojy]

Watch Dogs 2 IS rated M. Why patch out nudity? First game had it.

[@tyrongkojy]

But... they'd just rate it M again, and add... well no content warning, because they already know there's nudity. A vag wouldn't change a dong. Then again this IS america, where you can't show a female orgasm in your film without a hard R rating, or even NC-17, but you can show a male orgasm without so hard a penalty....

[@GeekdomCentral]

tyrongkojy I think the issue is that a "detailed" female vagina is considered 18+ only material. But apparently a penis is only M (which is 17+)

[@tyrongkojy]

Sexist bullshit. ESRB special pleading crap.....

[@ThEjOkErIsWiLd00]

Heh, I remember Undeads being in a Groupees bundle and the "dev" of this "game" was in the chat, we called his game shite and he had a hissy fit because he was actually proud of this tripe, was funny.

[@Safersephiroth777]

One of the best titles that Jim has given us.

[@JackSassyPants]

Feel better soon! This game is like the opposite of cold medicine though.

[@Slonitram]

Jim fucking Sterling

[@coronis5304]

I LOVE MY INTERNET VIDEO CONTENT, JIM SIR

[@TrioCon]

Mortos, or as it says on the menu screen on the bottom: Morots(Undeads)

[@Whisky_Priest]

the character seems a be a tad bit short...?

[@SilasMortimer]

It sounded like you said 'Boobisoft' for a moment there.

[@Thetracker69]

He did, but I think he was trying to say "But Ubisoft" and it just came out "boobisoft".

[@DeusMachina_EXE]

Or he could have meant it as a insult. Because if you call someone a boob you are basically calling them a idiot in Brittan. To my knowledge.

[@JamesR1701]

hahah I've never heard 'twadge' before but I'm going to start using it!

[@Roboterpunk]

Get well soon Jim!

[@kaarelkahu212]

Honestly how many people buy these games? Enough to cover the asset price?

[@TheKiroshi]

I believe they make 3-5 sales a week at peek popularity (other shitty greenlight trash) unless the game is one of the trading card abusers... then its different rules.

[@dgarvanski]

It had levels before but now it's basically a horde mode? I guess someone realized that making more than 2 open, room-sized, levels actually requires some effort... The pistol model is nice, albeit huge. So I guess +1 for having to spend time browsing through an asset store. Loving the OST, though. Great soundtrack on this one!

[@jnoirj3124]

I'm surprised you didn't catch the fact the zombies couldn't even walk up the steps on the first stage you played.

[@fullmetalarshole]

haha was actually going to ask if you were sick. you're voice sounds a bit nasal. but you already said it for me :p

[@MercurialCorsair]

As an invader zim fan i can't say mortos without following it up with "der soul stealer"

[@justiziabelle]

20 years ago, something like this would have been a hobby project and not something you would try to sell to people.

[@Inspectornills]

why the hell does the knife have a bullet counter?!?!??

[@Ranylyn]

I clicked down to the comments at 5:15 just to go "holy fucking shit, if you can't even put in the effort to spell a three letter word fully, don't you fucking dare have the gall to charge money." And they ARE charging money! No! JUST FUCKING NO! I mean, typos are one thing; typos happen. But "u" is blatant. It shrieks "I have so little respect for the player whose money I FUCKING STOLE to hit two extra keys on my goddamn keyboard." Scum devs one hundred percent confirmed.

[@joelh870]

I don't remember the part in The Division where the #1 Boglin Boy created the outbreak

[@DashRetro]

The copyright on the bottom misspells the game as "Morots."

[@WamBamJewel]

"Twadge" I love British slang.

[@MINERAL-115]

"They have changed it since undeads" - Yep, they've played Killing Floor since, from the looks of it!

[@rhill571]

The graveyard and church feel way too big for the amount of actual zombies there. And even the boring suburban cemeteries tend to break up the monotony with the occasional tree or curved paths.

[@2modernguys490]

does it lag

[@sublime90]

i love video internet content

[@Thetracker69]

The best part? If you look at the bottom of the Title Screen, you can see Morots(UNDEADS)@JustPlayNow 2016. So I guess the game is still technically called undeads. Also, they misspelled Mortos... Morots, more like Morons.

[@Wymorence]

So "zombies" can't go up the stairs of the cathedral (he was quite literally safe as houses two steps up them from any and all zombies going for him), the possibility of being in legal trouble for the title (Mortos was an Invader Zim character, for a single episode), the knife has a freaking ammo hud on it (it's a little hard to see but it's there)...

[@Corpseplower]

Unless they called it Mortos der Soulstealer or someone with another actually successful and established Mortos property felt threatened by its existence, a potential lawsuit like that would be like someone running a page out of the Digital Homicide playbook: a waste of time and resources for everyone involved.

[@iheartjackieyes]

When I saw this, I immediately thought _Mortos der Soulstealer._

[@georgesears934]

Ashens was also sick in his most recent video. COINCIDENCE, OR SECRET BUGGERY MEETING BETWEEN THE MASTER OF TAT AND THE MASTER OF FAT?! Probably coincidence.

[@thearousedeunuch]

I haven't watched the whole video yet, but in case you didn't know, Mortos means "Dead people" in portuguese.

[@TheCrusaderBin]

The graphics are pretty good, for a 1996 game.

[@DustPunk]

11:19 The naked zombie is Wesker!

[@Janokins]

Well, I like the ammo counter on the gun. I think the worst part is that this is unimaginative, there are games already out there that do this and do it better. They tried. A little bit.

[@franzhopper7631]

Personally I find it very distracting. I like it better when the counter is built into the gun.

[@Daemascus]

I wish my guns had bullet counters and slow mo

[@sirderpington7704]

your knife looks like a cake spatula

[@AngelBeeps]

I have not heard the term 'Twadge' before. Gonna add that to the list of vaginal euphemisms because it made me laugh.

[@dollors1]

As much as this game sucks, I have to give it props for "Having something to do during loading times", even if it was just looking around and firing the gun. Most games don't have a feature like this. The last game I could think of is Silent Hill 4 where you could move the loading icon (the ghost girl and evil symbol) around the screen. Wish more games did this.

[@clipped_magpie]

"Secret vaginas hidden in Watchdogs 2". You just can't make it up!

[@AngryShooter]

Can't wait for their next game "Muertos".

[@BearPiggy]

Slaugheting Grounds HD just graps HD...

[@cattrucker8257]

For once, shooting the Greenlight zombies in the head actually worked here. I suppose there was at least a basic bit of script involved in making this. Doesn't help the thing be a game you can enjoy none, but still.

[@NitriumOxide]

While Jim just plays the bestest games, I kinda wish he'd cover more interesting titles like say Lantern, Candle or Mekazoo or really anything else.

[@AnimagicMissile]

0:04 How did he know!? How does he ALWAYS know!?

[@sirherothebrave]

Apparently the dev of this game also stole a lot of the keys back from people who bought it and getting mad that people are questioning and mad about it XD.
