My worst nightmare - Rambo: The Video Game

[@hypethekomodo6495]

I think it's Rambo's model that makes this charming in a weird way: He looks so goofy and out of place, it's like Kirby going through Call of Duty.

Rambo is like a Japanese demon fox growing tails. Every level he gets another save icon and once he has 9 he's all powerful.

[@rohankishibeandpinkdarkboy8853]

Haha, that save glitch is hilarious! I'd like to think that's Rambo's mind breaking apart and saving all the PTSD.

This game accurately portrays the Viet Cong's strategy of running to within 6 feet of the enemy's cover and stopping to stand there or standing up from their own cover to expose their entire upper bodies. No wonder the Americans never had a chance.

If there is one good thing about this game, it helped convince Teyon to actually make a pretty damn decent Terminator FPS in 2019! Apparently Angry Joe's review of Rambo was a major inspiration reference for the devs.

[@MGSteakEatah]

The irony is that Rambo would soon be in Mortal Kombat 11 and actually has Stallone reprise his role.

[@marcocacciacarro7276]

Really enjoyed the video. David Morrell, the creator of Rambo and author of the First Blood novel, actually wrote the novelizations of the second and third movies, and they were different (arguably better) than the movies. From the foreword in the novels, he seemed pretty happy with his version of the character and didn't have any regrets.

[@TnHotPocket]

ALL THE SAVE ICONS!!!

[@thallesregis]

I like that they only had one specific texture of Rambo's shirt when he's shot so that means every single police officer in the town of Hope, Washington can shoot at a man's heart with perfect accuracy.

[@jamesd4223]

From a hip fire position at that. Seriously they just casually quick draw and pop’em.

In the end it was the save icons that broke John Rambo.

[@jerryatrics2351]

Worst thing about this game is that it was originally a third person stealth game. What could have been.

[@bobafett4265]

Really, that's a shame, no wonder people were disappointed when this got released....

[@joseph0098]

Oh boy, it would've been funny just because of his character model

[@supereldinho]

For anyone who hasn't played the game -- and really, why the hell would you? -- here's a fun fact: After you complete the first level, you unlock a perk that, when equipped, automatically passes every QTE that appears on-screen, even if you aren't pressing any buttons at all. That prison escape scene at the beginning of the second level? You'll be sitting there, watching the game go into auto-pilot even as it's blatly informing you that you're failing every QTE that comes up. The developers gave so little of a fuck about the game that they pretty much just went "look, we both know this game is shit so here's an option to just skip all this pointless crap."

They're actually still making that Rambo vs half-men half-beasts, it's just not going to be a Rambo Film but a standalone one, still starring Stallone.

[@k38-w4x]

as a dev myself, I laughed uncontrollably when Matt got the NO QTE FAILS achievement and failed EVERY SINGLE ONE

[@Gungriffon]

Back in middle school in the early 90s there was a typing tutor program that I discovered gave you a good grade if you had a like 90% or higher fail rate. I could type fine but this was faster and much more amusing. I did feel bad when the teacher gave me a Certificate for my excellent typing. I learned a valuable lesson that day....ALWAYS CHEAT.

[@hypethekomodo6495]

To be...Slightly fair to this mess of a game, that was a notification of a perk he received after leveling up: It wasn't an achievement. Although, having QTEs and then instantly providing a way to nullify them? That's a baffling decision.

[@Rikker95]

You should've kept going, now i'll forever be tormented by not knowing if the save icons would loop and come down from the top of the screen

Matt. I know it's outside your usual field of work. But I think you'd love to make a video on the change of warhammer fantasy battles to age of sigmar, as that's a story with all the hallmarks of a what happened: -Lawsuits galore. -Conflicts with the suits and the creative tipes -Conflicts between the suits. -A beloved franchise put to the torch. -Quite a lot of greed and corner cutting abounding. -Piss poor communication and messaging. -Piss poor planning (as they changed a lot, and lots of time) -Piss poor messaging. -And most importantly: an extremely poor launch, worse reception and hilariously messy development. It's gotten a happy note in the end as the setting has improved greatly and warhammer fantasy is coming back , so that's an upside to it! EDIT: also, complete rewrites midway. We know they at least made 2 of those. Just look at the reaction people had. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Zp_Ug6emnrdjb8U

[@realdiesoft]

I saw some extras with First Blood and the actual reason they didn't want Rambo to die in the first movie was because PTSD was still a relatively new/undiscovered thing and they didn't want a bunch of veterans seeing someone they can identify with to think the best way out is to kill themselves. To me, that's some pretty solid reasoning to change that character's ending from the book.

[@fancyUltra]

I've always loved the cover art for the movie. The m60 with an RPG duct taped to it. Haha

Hilarity already begins at 1:40 with a full-honors military funeral at Arlington and the rifle team didn't bring ceremonial military rifles, but a bunch of old-ass Winchester Model 88 hunting rifles. Might as well have brought some Daisy BB guns, it would be just as silly looking.

One piece of shrapnel hit him pretty bad, but the second time they didn’t think he would walk again. His brother was in artillery, and has lung issues from agent orange and hearing damage from the mortar blasts. The rest are dead. I showed him this video. He said being in Vietnam was less traumatic than this game.

You know, considering how few rail shooters get made nowadays, I ended up kinda liking this game. I have a soft spot for rail shooters. At least it had some interesting ideas. If only it wasn't so buggy. And had better graphics. And unlike what people keep saying, there ARE voice actors in this game and new dialogue. But only for the gameplay sequences. Almost all the cutscenes use audio from the movies.

You know what? This might be an unpopular opinion, but I think they really put quite some effort and passion into this. This game feels like a "lots of effort and passion, but not enough time / budget / skill". Technically this game could've been a nice diversion from the classic fps shooters, it just wasn't ready for release and needed a LOT more polishing, both in art and gameplay.
