Nerd³ Tests... Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness - Oh Dear

[@gferrol118]

"To get off, press the left cursor key" *mashes left click* I laughed so hard

[@j0nk]

have you never heard a mechanical keyboard before?

[@gferrol118]

Jon Kirch have you never understood a joke before?

[@deadboi890]

Julianus Victor what are drugs?

[@Cleagler]

Arrow keys

[@CaseyBoller]

Left cursor is left arrow, not left click

[@crittermoded]

"Oh look, I'm just Lara Crof-" *_"FUCK WHERE DID SHE GO?!!"_* I might've laughed a bit harder than I should have

[@BuildersOfBlocks]

I feel stronger now.

[@satorukemono7831]

My strength is increasing.

[@DragonNexus]

I remember Games Master magazine did a little section of things she'd say in certain situations. One was "Lara finds some money. "I feel wonga now!"" It's the only one I remember because at the time I'd no idea what "wonga" was.

[@cooldude23407]

Now whenever I open a door I will from time to time randomly say "I feel stronger now" :P

[@Mafia200100]

I enjoy how, after stretching the game view horizontally, Lara now has the proportions of a regular human.

[@neverpure20]

I actually really liked this game when i was a little kid. I used to play it with my cousin who translated the dialouges for me because I couldn't speak English at the time :D I could barely understand the plot and I remember it looking very mysterious and terrifying from time to time :D

[@TenshiCat]

Yeah, I bet this game would be very mystical and scary for a kid! I felt that way when watching my mum's friends playing older Tomb Raider games when I was a kid!

[@fuckoff9182]

It always was the Hitman: Contracts of the tomb raider series so I don't really blame you

[@samn5982]

Contracts was good though.

[@Levyathyn]

I remember counting the squares in TR1 and 2 to plot out jumps and distances.

[@fezber8713]

The tutorial in this game is so smooth. You can barely even notice you're playing a tutorial.

[@luperteverett1271]

A thing to note: Swan diving is still there. Its just the key combination that has been changed: Jump + Look keys at the same time (Alt + Numpad 0 by default) Bonus: Sprinting is also present in the game: instead of period key (.) it is Numpad 1. It does not deplete unlike the previous games (which is kinda ironic since you need stamina for climbing etc. but not for sprinting) but you get it halfway through the game (in "Galleries Under Siege" level).

[@gferrol118]

I wish they would make a new tomb raider game which was similar to the old ones

[@getbaitedmatey9208]

gferrol118 tomb raider legends was the shit

[@mrbluebob1066]

Get baited Matey Anniversary and underworld were also pretty good.

[@stinkogresupreme8165]

gferrol118 I misread that as womb raider.... Oops

[@DozifJuggles]

rise of the tomb raider is similar to the old ones, its lots of large levels all stuck together so its not too uncharted-y linear but not open world bollocks its sweet

[@Sercil00]

I remember how hyped I was for this game. It's release was postponed so damn many times and it looked AMAZING. It even had an art student style Ring-tape trailer that didn't look like Tomb Raider at all, and it traumatized me, so naturally, I hoped the entire game would be as sickening as that. It certainly was "sickening"

[@spiderjerusalem100]

I totally forgot that the old Tomb Raider games had these fuckin' stone age controls. It takes true skill to make the simple act of jumping across from one ledge to another awkward and horrible.

[@anakoART]

tbh older Tomb Raider games were MUCH easier to control than this abomination!

[@insanityfilter2060]

Anako I had Legend on the original XBOX. Great game. My favourite Tomb Raider game to date.

[@makiss29]

Serpico's Beard actually only the angel of darkness was a pain in the ass...the previous ones were more managable...but i still did enjoy it!

[@HonorableAssassins]

Yeah i actually thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere in AoD, it was enough to keep me playing.

[@cooldude23407]

GENIUS *back flips off ledge and body becomes mangled as it hits the ground*

[@gavinpeters9531]

⌥ Opt or Alt: The Alt key (pronounced /ˈɔːlt/ or /ˈʌlt/) on a computer keyboard is used to change (alternate) the function of other pressed keys. Thus, the Alt key is a modifier key, used in a similar fashion to the Shift key.

[@DakanaGarretson]

I've played a version of this game that is worse than this. I have played the interactive DVD game. Seriously, it's a thing. You watch a bit of gameplay, and then you're given a menu where you have to choose what to do next. It is seriously the most bizarre thing I have ever seen

[@trueblueblack47-]

DakanaGarretson oh man that takes me back haha. Nightmare!

[@Kitsune3637]

I know it's bad. I know it was unfinished. But this is still my favorite tomb raider game and I played it many times on the PS2.

[@AlwaysANemesis]

"It won't open." "It won't open." "It won't open." "It won't open." "It won't open." "It won't open." *"It won't open."* *_"IT WONT OPEN"_*

[@deadflag7030]

Oh my God, when I was younger I saw an ad for this game is the back of one of those booklets in the game cases and I dreamed of playing it, I'm glad I never did I got bored just watching it be played

[@TheMur28]

That "Technical Difficulties" screen almost killed me, I was eating a cookie and almost choked on it laughing.

[@AS-gx3oz]

Love you and Ashens much love from Oklahoma

[@alxsblv6164]

Ah! Couple of wooden planks and mattres - ultimate obstacle!

[@dramen]

Lol at that ending...my my, those days of having to remember to fucking MANUALLY SAVE progress like a true boss.

[@paramoralgirl]

Loved this video. Please make a full length play through of a tomb raider game, the older the better.

[@nitromagilou597]

The Batman & Robin of the Tomb Raider franchise.

[@privatethirsty1927]

Lara: it looks like i need something to force this open Dan: you mean like a key Me: ... so everytime i unlock my house im forcing my way in i need to call the police

[@Adahop]

I laughed so hard at his duck attempt at the end. 10/10

[@The90smyth]

I miss how he roasted games on Nerds Hell

[@insanityfilter2060]

The 90s Myth I know. I don't get why so many people hated the hell series. It was the funniest shit on Earth, in my opinion.

[@TheShinsh]

People disagreed with his opinions apparently.

[@joshreddy4359]

opinions are opinions, so tell em to shove it

[@TheShinsh]

Well uh... You know... Views and all.

[@joshreddy4359]

darn... your right...

[@Daniel-nn8mr]

That "technical difficulties" had me dying faster then Lara in the T-Rex.

[@SpotTiger]

Lara in Stealth Mode: "AGGHHH! UGHH! HYGH!! UGH! HNGGG-UH!" 😐

[@JudgeBane]

I heard that when this game was being demonstrated by one of the guys who was developing it, he had trouble playing it and started swearing at it. That is when you know your product is having troubles. I remember playing this on my dad's PS2 back in 2009-2010. It was terrible, couldn't get past the second level.

[@Dylandoesgaming]

You actually kind of have to feel sorry for Core they ended up having to release this massively in advance before it was bug fixed. It's so clearly a Beta that it actually hurt to play.

[@hollowmo]

I actually kind of enjoyed playing this as a kid but seeing it now....oh boy.

[@LavenderAudio]

This game is an accurate representation of why I am always reluctant to try a new game. Tutorials like this make me want to stop playing anything new ever when they're done like this, and this is an incredible example..

[@ladygagaconcertvideos3768]

I HAVE BEEN WAITING 4 YEARS FOR YOU TO PLAY THIS

[@tywinlannister1125]

Don't we all love tank controls?

[@speedking92]

For someone that loves Tomb Raider you sure forgot the save every two seconds bit of Tomb Raider.

[@satorukemono7831]

This game could've been much better if it didn't begin in the Parisian Ghetto. I mean, the ACTUAL game doesn't really begin until you're an hour in - and you're infiltrating the Louvre

[@Momo21321]

Oh dear,oh dear,oh dear,oh dear,oh dear,oh dear,oh dear,oh dear,oh dear,oh dear,oh dear oh dear,oh dear.

[@taekinuru2]

Oh shit it's the dogs from that bizarre tomb raider lucozade advert at the start of this!

[@christiaanblom3685]

Do a complete series on this game please NerdCubed!! Please!!!

[@mlpfan1986]

Oh God, Angel of Darkness... now I have to bleach my brain again to forget it!

[@melfmz1509]

“Press The left arrow key to get off” Dan: *smash* *smash* *smash* *smash* *smash* *smash* *smash* *smash* *smash* ITS NOT WORKING!!

[@makiss29]

Even tho it was really messed up and uncomplete, i have to say that it had lots of potential and it could easily be the best if it was complete!!

[@Call_Me_Matrix]

Never thought I'd hear Dan dislike a Tomb raider more than the Reboot.

[@_Piers_]

It's not the wrong aspect ratio, it's the positive body image addition...

[@McHeisenburger]

"Technical difficulties. Please stand by."

[@TXFDA]

The resolution of the actual game threw me a bit after that intro video's compression...

[@supernovagamer929]

that crowbar will come in useful, i can prize things with it. good old broken english

[@Sinebeast]

Pointless fact : Europe 2 was a radio station

[@BRZguy]

I liked the darker tone this game had compared to the others. It would be awesome if they would do a remake with everything fixed.

[@videogamenerd1991]

Also, forgot to mention, whoever the fuck came up with a strength bar and Lara's need to feel stronger to advance in the game shall burn in fucking Hell.

[@Smithy1294]

To be honest this was one of my favorites in terms of story

[@RHTGGN]

I like AoD. I rlly want it to be remastered and get the issues fixed

[@jackabite7]

Holy shit the whole GAME is a fucking tutorial. I REPEAT WE NEVER LEFT THE TUTORIAL

[@storingjazzinmycheeksforth5319]

"similar curve Joey" KZbin auto generated subtitles, 2017.

[@bagged6117]

Airport Simulator 2017 is on steam

[@mynameisjeff5599]

Anybody else wonder when the next complete series is coming?

[@thelegendgamer9408]

hes not doing that anymore

[@bigmanmark4334]

thelegendgamer why?

[@cyrochaotic1027]

he said he would return, after hes done with Tests

[@thelegendgamer9408]

ya and when is he going to stop testing things? i say never their will allays be more tests to i think its safe to say never

[@notEnzy]

JeffTheFox probably when WWE 2019 is released. LUL

[@dinodare1605]

Surely Lara could just explain how it was self defense instead of evading arrest.

[@Daniel-nn8mr]

That wouldn't work and the police would need evidence to say it was self defense. Most police in countries wouldn't believe people who defend themselves unless there's sufficient evidence.

[@TheNephilimofEmpireCity]

All I remember was a Bloodborne like abomination that you had to fight as the games alternate character and man did it freak me the fuck out

[@MrSkysenGames]

"Can't do a swan dive. It's the worst game in the world." I agree. Was thinking that during the ledge jumping tutorial, especially with the controls being on keyboard. That seems like torture for this game.

[@xaviertanguma6844]

Dude I love your work keep it up

[@astreastarqueen488]

I mean, It had the best angsty pop song tied to it Or was that the movie? I can't remember.

[@darkzenful]

do this as a complete series

[@Daniel-nn8mr]

He doesn't do complete series of seriously bad games.

[@PHANTOMCOWGIRL]

Sing, My angel of Music!

[@khuzang]

Grey de Lisle?

[@BubblesandMia]

I actually liked the premise of this game, just wish the controls were better and there were checkpoints

[@sandwich2473]

I never did like this one. 1, and 2 were the best. I think 4 was better than 5, and 3 was too hard for me. I was but a child. The quad bike in the garden was cool, though.

[@ryanperkins1472]

You should do a challenge where you kill the T-Rex in Tomb Raider

[@jasperpulleine9655]

YOU PROMISED US BEAMNG DRIVE YESTERDAY DAN!

[@glaex1907]

Tomb Raider Chronicles best Tomb Raider game.

[@Ledrang]

Ah, the days of no autosave, yes children this is what games used to be like in the not so distant past of 2003, you had to manually save your game or face the consequences of repeating the same part again.

[@sandy56ist]

Huu boy, I remeber being so hyped for this game before it came out. The story seemed so cool, dark and gritty for my young brain then. But them controls though... especially combat... and it was so broken in places...

[@professorfoster6365]

Dear Dan,Please do a completes series on this game.SingedThose who enjoyed your sonic 06 playthrough

[@ZABERCAN99]

My Mum hated analogue controls (because she was used to the d pad on ps1) and yet she somehow still managed to complete this shithole of game. No idea how she had the patience for it because I sure didn't

[@TheHamo1969]

I think they forgot that pacing was a thing that exists in a story.

[@DozifJuggles]

the environments look pretty good for 2003

[@eakmadashma]

Dan playing an old tomb raider game? Best day ever, even if the game is a pile of shit. And you still haven't made a video where you kill the T. rex with starter pistols :(

[@aidenpitts1395]

Jimmy go in throws tear gas after him

[@ileaverealitybehind]

I actually really like this game... 😅 But I think it definitely has something to do with nostalgia.

[@burneyarts]

do you still plan on revisiting planet coaster? I don't think many people would miss it if you didn't

[@samueldanjou5868]

Was this the same narrator as Empire: Total War? I swear their voices are similar!

[@Soenderup21]

I read: tomb raider the angle of darkness. And I went: thats called a shadowed corner 😂

[@jmatruni]

Dan tested, NerdCubed approved!!

[@shoes6713]

Nerdcubed, you should totally play CUBE 2: Sauerbraten its a hell decent free shooter

[@DankNorway]

I remember playing a Tomb Raider with a really similar starting area when I was a kid, but I don't remember the game being this shit, I had fun playing the one I had.

[@tripfellow]

I actually really enjoyed this tomb raider, been playing since the second tomb raider. Yes it's one of the worst tomb raider games but it doesn't mean it's bad.

[@CouncilofMoleMen]

Best youtuber EVER

[@ThePowerPCHub]

Watching this was painful. Fuck this game's control system was fucked to Narnia and back.

[@Sponska]

Well, I wasn't expecting this at all. But it happened and the nightmares are already coming back to me...

[@bolicob]

Struggling With the Controls: The Game

[@TeuCat]

So is prize the British word for pry or something? I didn't think a crowbar could prize a door open, but I know it can pry a door open.

[@gobackhome2]

Its prise, the subtitles are fucked.

[@colossalweeb]

OH OF COURSE THIS WAS THE TOMB RAIDER MY SCHOOL COMPUTERS HAD!!!! i thought we had a good game on the comuters.

[@goofykitkatboy]

see i think of this game like sonic 06, its not a badly designed game but it's full of bugs that ruin the experience, if the developer had more time to fix the bugs and was not rushed by eidos to release it then the game would not be so hated, the fact is the game was unfinished when it was released because eidos wanted it out sooner so core design didnt have time to fix everything and make necessary gameplay tweeks, as for me dare i say i kinda enjoyed this game

[@c0re649]

But sonic 06 is horribly designed

[@goofykitkatboy]

some parts may be but i think that for some of it if more time was put into fixing it it could be fun

[@XOIIOXOIIO]

Wow that's a small amount of reviews on steam

[@justinthewustin5181]

You should test the game "Inside"

[@amyshaw893]

surely it's a four point pose? both feet, one hand and one knee?

[@TheBirdOHermes]

When Dan says "remember when Lara Croft died, she died before this game. They killed her off she actually died. End of. Game Over" what Tomb Raider game is he talking about?

[@killersands5116]

『Killer Queen: Bites the Dust』 4

[@TheBirdOHermes]

So... Tomb Raider the last revelation

[@Comet11]

Nerd 3 my dude play some hot dogs horse shoes and had grenades I spell that wrong probably

[@YourMoralCompas]

It's an oldie. But is it a goodie?

[@johnhandzlik659]

SanityNonExistent no its not

[@Fruitless]

I think this would be a fun game to watch Dan stream. hint hint nudge nudge ;)
