Worst Games Ever - Die Hard: Vendetta

Yippee-Ki-Yay, mother truckers - John DieHard’s back saving hostages and shooting bad guys! But he might mix up the two, as there are only about 5 different NPC models in the game.

Never thought I’d be in the camp of “I had this game and I loved it, it’s not a worst game!” and yet, here we are…

[@cerburrows9380]

Same

[@ijhsucks]

I fucking loved this game

[@thestranger9608]

I liked it too. I just hated the instant mission failed without warning

[@Boogie_the_cat]

nostalgia goggles. i will admit that it looks better (visually) than the PS1 Die Hard game, but a full schoolbus crashing into a munitions factory looks better than the PS1 Die Hard.

[@Boogie_the_cat]

you're easy to please. i bet you loved nintendogs, too.

[@jamesbate2526]

Peter: I've only seen the first two Die Hard Movies. Also Peter: *Quotes Die Hard With a Vengeance*

[@lilhanhan]

Has anyone else noticed that the google doodle for today is celebrating Alan Rickman? Quite a coincidence, but a coincidence none the less ~

[@PhoenixRising1310]

John DieHard would be so ashamed of this

[@markoshea3643]

Peter: I've only seen die hard 1 and 2 maybe once in my life. Also Peter: quotes die hard with a vengeance perfectly 😅

[@VillaFanDan92]

Cant believe you went through the whole episode without using the "slow motion, blaring classical music" mode.

[@GreyHulk2156]

Dick Thornburg is the "dickless" guy who reports on, and gets in the way of, the misadventures of John McClane. For instance, he exposes the plane hijacks in Die Hard 2, that they're trying to keep quiet about. ;P He has a twin brother who works for the Environmental Protection Agency in New York. ;P

[@Leonardo_No_Cardio]

Ghostbusters reference, nice....

[@charlotteobrien4929]

5:37 Very disappointed Ben and Peter missed the obvious ‘Alan Rickboy’ joke when talking about Gruber Jr. Shame on you, boys!

[@timothygraham4304]

I mean, he looks about the same age as his dad, so, he is a Rickman. That begs the question of how fast do they age?

[@etowngti]

The edit at 18:40 is making me lose my damn mind 😂

[@pdw8635]

Die Hard IS a Christmas movie. Because if it wasn’t Christmas, the movie wouldn’t have happened. The movie needed it to be Christmas. Just being set at Christmas doesn’t make it a Christmas movie.

[@fedwyn]

I can't believe they made a game about John DieHard's adventures

[@michaelryanwildkardclark777]

It honestly doesn't seem that bad considering how long ago it was made.

[@philbateman1989]

The line is "Now I have a machine gun. Ho, ho, ho", not the other way around, you peasants! XD

[@eddiehimself]

I like what they did with "Hen News," as in Fox among the Hens lol.

[@joywilson4668]

Yippe Ki Ya motherflippers.

[@asa2002]

I won't take this Die Hard Vendetta hersey...it was a fun ass game on the GC. Flawed...but fun

[@fabianc2743]

I stole the disc from my local value city and I remember liking it . I would a slight headache from the first person

[@yotaruvegeta]

9:31 That is the actual Reginald “Family Matters Die Hard” Veljohnson, complete with likeness. He currently does voices on Adult Swim shows.

[@shawnfields2369]

Oh, cool. Glad to see Reginald "Family Values/Matters Died Hard", Veljohnson, doing other things. And while we're still talking about "Family Matters", it was one of the best tv shows ever made.

[@DigiFolk]

this game is fun on the gamecube, feels like ur playin an episode of cops. feels as if the gamecube graphics r better then the ps2 ver too

[@ryankennedy1816]

John Die Hard was my hero growing up. I can't believe these guys didn't appreciate his epic video game.

[@LoverOfBellies]

Should have played the Game Cube version

[@ArkaneStephanie]

Ah. Vivendi is back, with a vengeance. But luckily it's a good day to play Die Hard. And um.... Die Harder?

[@paulharries9558]

Ah, a video game based on the Welsh action man Dai Hard, isn't it boyo. Lovely isn't it.

[@jonpeley]

Carl Winslow's cameo was great.

[@shawnfields2369]

Yeah, especially, the part where he gets shot, and falls over, and the words "Objective Failed", show up onscreen. Great cameo. Carl Winslow's a pretty great actor, glad to know he was in the "Die Hard: With A Vengeance" film/game, which if I remember, is the 3rd film? And maybe this is unpopular, but I liked the 4th film, because it least wasn't the 5th one...that one was BAD. Probably because it DIDN'T have Al-Carl Winslow in it...probably.

[@copascript7969]

This Game has one of the best levels in all of gaming fr.

[@antfrancis9941]

Here's a suggestion for a bad video game review (& if you guys hadn't already done it) How about Largo Winch? 😁

[@Gamerdad90s]

Or trigger man. Had a friend loan me that game on ps2 back in the day. Horrible

[@damonalbarn1184]

i love this game, really good and with the real magnifique french voice of bruce willis in the french version of the game!

[@kieranlea4396]

Al looked like a bobblehead figure

[@sean4285]

I had this game i think i got bored of it though , i have a contender of weirdest game ever have you played Small Soldiers on ps1 i would not say its the worst I've played but its definitely weird

[@gibzotta]

Not the biggest fan, but I prefer it over Die Hard 4 & 5. A much better sequel at heart, but a mediocre presentation of one. Not completely awful, but not great. 6/10.

[@bewd4310]

The gamecube version was far superior much more polished which proves what I’ve said for years gamecube had smoother graphics by miles. Ps2 was just popular because its playstation brand but gc was 128bit and a higher engine. 👍

[@RobNotBob95]

How dare you...

[@novalover5033]

🤔 Yeah I still have fun with this title. And I’m a hard to please guy on a lot of stuff. I just got done playing a session. You have to understand It’s just an indie title designed different due to budget and time constraints. It almost didn’t even come out. If you can get past that it’s a fun time. It plays much better on GameCube though. On PlayStation it’s a bit rough. Also i find it much more fun with auto aim turned on. Free aim is sadly not perfect. The game isn’t really a fps in gameplay. It’s got more in common with a light gun game that plays itself in a way. like a universal ride that plays as a movie. I really like it for what it is. Wish certain mechanics were finished. But um… compared to todays under half baked overpriced trash this is still considered a fully finished game lol. And is NOT a horrible game by any stretch of the human imagination. Where it lacks in precision shooting mechanics it makes up for in interactions dialogue paths and all the other added stuff you can do. It’s not a 10 outta 10. But it’s definitely not a zero either. I’m forgiving so I’d give it a 6.8 outta 10. It has a decent score fun story good graphics and does a good job making you feel like you’re in a diehard movie. I just wish I could free aim more stable. That’s really the only issue holding it back from being complete. But I do still pop it in when I wanna just have fun. It’s worth checking out.

[@davehardenburg2924]

Yeah this game looks horrible gentleman. Props from America

[@findantu]

Dynamite deku. Diehard arcade game only in Japan. Starts with john mclain assaulting women. Lots of women lol.

[@samperkins9885]

These two are sillier than Bill and Ben. So infantile and unfunny

[@Bozzyshy]

Remember playing this game and thinking it was utter garbage.

[@havanaradio]

Why do you guys say "ameriker" instead of "amerikah" - there is no r. Weird you can't speak your own language.

[@likeandsharedeeznutsbruh2845]

I own this awful game on ps2 lol I bought it years ago, played the first level, didn't finish it because if how awful it was, now it just sits in my collection as a momento of sorts lol

[@glenndonnelly7730]

I loved this game man seeing it as worst games ever hurts 😂

[@coreyf3042]

My dad was a huge Die Hard fan and got this game to play with me. So many memories

[@potatostuffing5643]

One of my childhood games, I had it on GameCube (Though, it was ONLY on GameCube in the US, while PAL territories also had a PS2 and Xbox version as well). I mostly remember the Paintball section in the tutorial stage.

[@asa2002]

Also...the GC version had the odd honour of being one of the first games to be on a Nintendo console to have F-Bomvs uncensored

[@AshLilburne]

The Australian release of Diddy Kong Racing on N64 had multiple F and C bombs

[@girlsdrinkfeck]

@@AshLilburne yawn !

[@ChairmanChico]

Interesting how the cop from Die Hard goes on to play the cop from Family Matters.

[@shawnfields2369]

Maybe he just likes playing cops? I mean he does a great job being in both Die Hard With A Vengeance, and Family Matters, and playing a cop. He does really well. They should've brought Al back for Die Hard 5.

[@GhostofKittyKatDawg]

Die hard is more of a Christmas movie than home alone. John mclane is only at the tower because he's there for the Christmas party and to see his kids as seemly the only way he would come is a special occasion. Christmas plays zero part in home alone and it could have taken place at any time of the year.

[@shawnfields2369]

Yes, I agree, that Home Alone could've been set anywhere, anytime. But Die Hard is definitely a Christmas movie. It's set during Christmas, it's a festive movie, and the way the bad guy dies at the end, was the most Christmas type way for an action movie set during Christmas to end. With an awesome explosion. I've seen every Die Hard movie(except 5, because no way would I do that to myself or to anyone really). But I do love the other 4 Die Hard movies. Even the 4th one. Should've just brought Al back for the 5th one...

[@Beardedaviator]

But but this game was so good on GameCube! How dare thee! The GameCube was a far superior version, this was a broken port. 😤

[@insignificantaftermathPROJECTS]

Finally a game on this series that ive actually played. I remember this not living up to expectations but I still enjoyed getting through it. It's the gaming equivalent of watching a crappy action film on tv but still enjoying it somehow.

[@samuelstannard730]

I've never played this, but it doesn't seem too bad. Just a bit ugly.

[@AIBETTSYIA75]

Blasphemy! I had this on ps2 and 11 year-old me battled having no idea what was going on and random nonsense to complete half of it before using cheats

[@MrBeardsley]

John Die Hard, or John The Hard if you want to get German about this.

[@RenegadePandaZ]

Theres no batteries in here at all, Im confused

[@jessesurprenant1981]

They’re not necessarily the worst games, they’re just worse than most.

[@PJ_TheAverageGamer]

I enjoyed this game when it came out. I replayed it a few years ago, and it was hard a hell, but it had a lot going for it. Too bad they didn't do the tutorial there's a cool arrest system in the game.

[@ThisNormalLife]

I had this game, it's bad it's really really bad

[@tropixi5336]

i still have a few memories about this game lmao

[@wizzardoffuzz]

I always enjoy the Christmas die hard debate and would like to also give special mention to lethal weapon and the long kiss good night. Both also excellent “Christmas” action films. That is all.

[@scottthewaterwarrior]

My "Christmas" movie tradition is 8 Crazy Nights, lol!

[@matthewvorwald7169]

I love this game. My sister introduced me to this game when I was maybe 10 or 12 years old. We have it on GameCube and it's become one of my favorite games to play. I've actually made it a tradition to play this not at Christmas, but whenever I get done tracking severe weather in my area. Same goes with the Die Hard movies. Every time I get done tracking bad weather, I watch each of the movies, even the Die Hard battery commercial. Even watching this video was a lot of fun. So many moments in the video that got me laughing😂🤣. You guys are so much fun to watch.

[@kidd__north]

Single player is back baby!

[@Pegfoxx]

I am probably the only girl on this planet that likes this game. I love the banter the NPCs give you when you talk to them lol.

[@SpaceCat223]

I dont think gender matters here. You're the only PERSON. lol

[@Saulbreadman]

Gamer girl 🤤

[@gregsmith9183]

If you want another terrible Die Hard game try "Die Hard: Nakatomi Plaza". Another Vivendi Universal/Sierra published first-person shooter game for Windows PCs, and released in 2002. Recounting many of the events in the first film.

[@robertlisastanley7433]

For its age doesnt seem like a bad game

[@MrBeardsley]

It is, but other than its hideous looks (even by 2002’s low standards) it’s the kind of game you have to play to see how terrible it really is. If not for the Die Hard license I’d assume it was a Simple 2000 game.

[@MrBeardsley]

@@Spacething7474 It’s horrible. Maybe if I’d been a little kid when it came out and was blinded by nostalgia for it I’d have a different take, but this came out like six weeks after Timesplitters 2. Like, imagine playing through Timesplitters 2 and then picking up Die Hard: Vendetta right after. Because that’s exactly what I did 20 years ago, and it amazed me that two games in the same genre made at the same time for the same system could be so wildly different in quality.

[@roguerifter9724]

For the crime of shooting Al Peter must be immediately executed. On the plus side with John dead hopefully the antagonist will decide they don't need to shoot anyone else. Also what idiot thought Assigning Lucy McLane anywhere near this event, or hell even having her on duty during the event could possibly be a good idea?

[@philipwagstaff4897]

I loved this game! I got it after playing Goldeneye Rogue Agent om the Gamecube. I remember prefering this. Kinda goofy game that didn’t take itself too seriously

[@Dustemikkel_Rev]

Oh this one! I pkayed it on the GC, and the memories boils down to booting it up, watching the first cutscene and going "Oh. Why does Bruce Willis look like my dad?!"

[@Justforvisit]

So, what do you guys think? Is "Die Hard" a christmas movie?

[@DerekSiddle]

loved your review, thank you. the development of the game reflects the final product. yes we had no idea what we were doing... but we did have fun making it. :)

[@Tyrelguitarist]

Calling this one of the worst games is so confidently incorrect. This was a genuinely fun game. The mechanics were fun af for the time. The multiple outcomes blew Mt mind as a kid. This was a big game as a pre teen.

[@bewd4310]

My sight’s very bad but the actors in that film look like Gonzalez, Hathaway and Robertson?

[@RS-fz4ps]

You can watch any movie at Christmas time but that doesn’t make it a “Christmas movie”. I used to watch all of the bonds when they were on the tele over break, so my family associates them with Christmas.

[@VeggeMight]

I wanted this game on GameCube I think Nintendopower saved me and I bought Goldeneye NightFire.

[@effarrjay]

PETER! DON'T SHOOT AL!

[@hollybates4577]

Sorry lads, I'm a few of these behind, so only just seen this one. This tickled me quite a lot 😂 really enjoyed this one!

[@shoom5198]

The graphics impressed me at the time on the GameCube. I didn't mind it. It was no Die Hard trilogy but it did something.

[@TheSubZer0HEro]

Ben saying Die Hard isn't a Christmas movie is the closest I've ever come to hitting the dislike button on a triple jump vid

[@alceearsberry4150]

Can you guys tell me what vampire game that was you guys were playing do you remember it please tell me it looks interesting

[@battlepants5818]

I watch this video while eating breakfast. You can't stop me!!

[@gakk8658]

This would've been much better as a port of Die hard Arcade. That game was so great.

[@SJxPVR]

When ur 9 years old and this is this only game you have besides mario on gamecube...it wasnt that bad 😅

[@blackphoenix77]

22:26 I can't wait for Crickle Hood to come out; that movie looks awesome

[@timothygraham4304]

I love how America does use the metric system, but only for gun calibers!

[@Eichward_SKV]

This game is a solid 6-7/10. Far away form worst games ever

[@Rightchickenwing]

6:21 god the mouth flapping (of the NPCs not the handsome presenters)

[@cmjohnson85]

I truly hope all The Bens were harmed. Just saying.

[@roolaing]

It is difficult to fathom that this is on the same platform as MGS2.

[@Rightchickenwing]

14:38 introducing to your little teddies is so dorky but cute 🤛😀😊😆

[@thatfootguy6746]

I watched the whole thing for Peter's sake. 😆🙈

[@OrkneyladAnderson]

Sorry but this isn't the worst game.

[@smokeywilyumz9634]

I loved die hard as a kid so this game was a blast

[@YouTubeAddict50]

That one NPC looks like he has prosciutto arms

[@putowtin]

Ben's right, it's not a Chriswiz movie!

[@chrisberwick8169]

I love this game play it every so often

[@johnsonFlames]

Now that I thought about it, does the intro has a meaning?

[@GreyHulk2156]

I love a good Viennetto. ;P

[@zukato4119]

RIP Hot and fresh science facts box

[@LeesReviews69]

I only had a game cube around this time, and this game was very much advertised in front of me. I almost bought it.

[@3venFl0w85]

never been in the worst game ever camp tbf

[@speedy316uk]

I enjoyed this on the gamecube

[@SeeNo3vil98]

How does the first game look better 😂

[@bmshaven]

These guys are too damn clever

[@twopoundsofbeef]

I play this game every Christmas
