Glover: No Glove No Love | The Completionist

[@brandon91191]

I am kind of surprised when he said that people love to hate on Glover. I have never heard anyone say overly negative about it. Most people I have heard talk about seem to say that, while not the best, Glover is a pretty enjoyable game. It is interesting how people seem to live in different spheres.

[@KevinAccetta]

I loved glover, and I thought nobody knew about this game except me lol (amongst people I knew)

[@napoleonfeanor]

same

[@bbworks159]

Right, even all the other KZbin personalities I watch like NitroRad and AntDude thought it was at least decent. It’s also on many underrated N64 games lists.

[@sonicyuuki2292]

@@bbworks159 Caddicarus reviewed the PS1 version, and he said it wasn't all that bad. Maybe it's just Jirard feeling frustrated and disappointed after he tried to complete the game

[@GameAW1]

Same. Worst I heard is it had problems but no one other than Jirard outright calls it a bad game, usually saying its fine for what it is.

[@mavericktitan7874]

I remember this game going from 'kinda frustrating' to genuinely 'pretty fun' the moment I turned off the setting that reversed your controls when you stood on top of the ball. That one change alone made ALL THE DIFFERENCE for me, turning Glover from an exercise in frustration to a moderately enjoyable experience. If Jirard never made that change in the settings then it's no wonder the controls frustrated him.

[@Syngrafer]

The right man in the wrong place can make ALL THE DIFFERENCE in the world...

[@TheXtremeBoltGuy]

... you can TURN THAT OFF!?!?

[@ZipplyZane]

Yeah, I wondered what he was talking about. I always played it with non-reversed controls. Reversed controls are horrible for gaming. You can do reversed X axis for flying, but that's about it. They're worse than tank controls.

[@RustyNips]

I guess I'm the only one that likes the reverse controls when on the ball I always thought it was cool cause your actually going backwards so it made sense

[@TheKnizzine]

I think the controls inverting are why I never had a problem with tank controls or cameras just kinda trained my brain to switch on the fly.

[@elmilkmann]

The noise that Glover makes when the ball breaks still haunts my nightmares all these years later

[@brytheblueeye1723]

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" *fart noise as the ball spits out of a portal*

[@kazuguy]

@Cassidy I still think about that evil laugh to this day and remember how unnerving it is lol

[@Captn_Scruffy]

I remember playing this with my best friend back in the day. Usually after Battle Tanks or the army man game. It was weird and that's all we cared about. I can still recall doing Glover's voice back and forth. "SHAZAM!" More fond of the memories than the game.

[@connorsutton8745]

"No one cares about beating your Glover time" Immediately searches for Glover speedruns

[@davidmcgill1000]

Oh you have no idea. Go watch the "all stages" tool assisted speedrun. This game gets insane.

[@chantzgaming]

Yeah I figure it’s like goldeneye speed runs where it makes it easy to use in-game times for leaderboards

[@Rampala]

I played Glover a lot as a kid because it was the game that came bundled with my N64. I loved the novel game mechanics that required you to transform or even abandon the ball to solve puzzles, but I never did finish the game and was convinced one couldn't without cheat codes. I also remember the controls being a hot mess, but this game still holds a strange place in my heart.

[@cloudkitsune17]

I love Glover and Quest 64, I don't care what people say about it. XD They're hidden gems in my eyes~!

[@Kite166]

Yea, those were my childhood games. I loved them both on the n64

[@christophersteeves9435]

I always loved the charming look of glover. I'm glad the completionist played it so I can know that I dodged a bullet as a kid.

[@TheTTopaz]

Glover is an all time favorite of mine from childhood. I'm probably the only person that had fully hoped that he was gonna be a wildcard add into Smash. Seems like a prime example of me being a better gamer as a kid, idk if I could play through this now. Maybe I'll pick up the PC port and give it a run anyways. Appreciate the nostalgia trip!

[@gregdeandrea1450]

I wouldn't hate Glover in Smash! The one thing that Ultimate was missing was a new super obscure retro character.

[@LakotaNativedoll]

Plot twist, master hand is glover

[@justinwelch3528]

@@LakotaNativedoll I actually thought that Master Hand was Glover in the N64 smash bros as a kid lol

[@napoleonfeanor]

Smash already has disembodied hand lol

[@Etsa]

Imagine master hand high fiving Glover, or master hand is dribbling a ball and Glover comes and steals it back!

[@00pengu7]

My sister and I spent countless hours with this as kids. We never got very far, but we absolutely loved it for some reason 😂

[@TheIllustriouBlueJay]

I can recall a number of not-so-great games that entertained me as a child.

[@ItCantGetAnyWorse]

Can say the same for quest 64

[@Sentay0]

18:54 Dude what are you talking about you have it exactly the opposite way, Glover is often brought up semi-fondly with this video being the thing that is uncharacteristically negative (no hate btw, these really obscure games are a real love it or hate it deal).

[@MrMozzie]

Yeah this is my first time seeing someone dislike glover, granted I haven’t really looked far

[@Redhollow]

Nah I have seen a lot of hate irl for Glover. I recall bringing it in a pile of other games and my friend was like "how dare you bring this in my house."

[@tigerfestivals5137]

Yeah I've really never heard anyone say it was bad. Just like "hey this game is kinda cool and unique but not the best game" is the sentiment I usually hear.

[@Confluence358]

Just started the video, but am surprised to hear you don't think Glover is a hidden gem! Maybe I'm remembering it with nostalgia goggles, but my Dad and I loved that game when I was young!

[@zelos666]

What do you mean, everyone talked about how bad this game is? Almost everyone I've seen says it's okay to great. Glover is honestly a solid 7/10.

[@ChargeQM]

Glover being a bad game is sort of a meme. It's certainly not GREAT, but for the era it was fine.

[@davidmcgill1000]

Right. If you had spent the last 2 years playing only N64 games then terrible camera controls and awkward platforming were nothing new. That was just how games were at the time.

[@user-eer555]

it was one of the best 20th century games. had real fun, but frankenstein was real hard, never went past him until i found a bug to go to the last level but i got stuck again on the space robot boss again, not sure if i finished the game lol won’t do it ever tho

[@IkesDaddelbox]

Missed potential is the keyword here. There is a lot about this game I enjoy, but the execution of the mechanics really tests my patience. I keep coming back to it, but I can only handle it in small doses. Also, of course 4 fingers! Not only because it's a cartoon standard, but also because we don't need to see Glover with a wang.

[@HeyAnnieMok]

LMFAO!!!

[@luigi290]

I’m honestly surprised you mention how much people say it’s bad. Your video is the first time I’ve ever come across anybody saying anything negative about this game. Personally, it was one of my top ten favorite N64 games and I’ve been yearning for somebody to make a spiritual successor to it.

[@PikaLink91]

I do believe Jirard is the first G-Fuel sponsor person I know who has actively explained what the hell G-Fuel even is. Angry Joe has been sponsored by them many times, and I still had no idea what it actually was. Even Google wasn't much help. But here we have Jirard, within the first 20 seconds, loud and clear, explaining "it's a supplement that you mix in with your drink". Thank you, that's all I wanted to know! Did Joe just assume that everyone already knew that? I mean I could probably look at the packaging and put 2 and 2 together, but even then, selling a product means that YOU are responsible for 110% clearly communicating what EXACTLY it is you sell, even including "common sense" details so that even dimwits like me understand what you are selling.

[@animeartist888]

For the record, G-Fuel also has pre-mixed energy drinks similar to Rockstar, Monster, Bang, etc. I believe they are all sugar-free, but there might well be flavors I don't know about.

[@PikaLink91]

@@animeartist888 Cool! Thanks for the heads up.

[@Kirby950]

The only other person that’s sponsored by it and tells you what it is is Kripparian of hearthstone fame

[@DajuOnYoutube]

Well it's basically energy drinks without the fluids that you add yourself. (Normally water) And yeah I guess it's kinda considered common knowledge by this point, atleast in the right circles. Although I'm pretty sure that you'll get a fair chance on being clued in on what it is long before you get the package in your hands, I haven't been on the site but I'm assuming that it's easy to find.

[@Livithen86]

I loved glover back in the day on 64 and still do

[@alextownley9388]

Honestly it sounds like if this game was to be remade today it COULD be absolutely amazing, and unique.

[@RoPanuganti]

This is super exciting to see this oddity get the Completionist treatment, shortly after putting together a fan tribute album to the OST. It's such a middling kind of game for its time

[@ropecrewman36]

Great to hear people talking about this game! I played it 10 years after release because I saw it at a thrift store and remember hearing about it from a gaming magazine, back in the day.

[@NachoTubio]

I am so so glad that glover was released again. I hope the team can develop that long lost sequel that's been discovered lately.

[@francisthegrey3055]

This was one of the first N64 games I've played. Still has a place in my gaming heart. Plus I've seen worse games, but to each is own:)

[@victoriousf.i.g.3311]

To be fair, most N64 games controlled like a greased cannonball. A lot of people our age are inundated with nostalgia when it comes to the old grey box but those controllers were absolute trash when it came to finesse movements. Even blockbuster games like Banjo-Kazooie suffered from poor cameras and clunky movement just because the controller was that bad.

[@kickassia2197]

That's why I'll always stand by the statement that the N64 had good/amazing games, but was a horrible console.

[@victoriousf.i.g.3311]

@@kickassia2197 I agree, this really sums in up. The decision to use the inferior cartridge format in the age of high (for the time) storage space CD-rom and a controller that was like juggling a handful of bananas. Successful despite its flaws, but definitely flawed.

[@asmodeus58XX]

@@kickassia2197 It was also a very specific console. I mean, up until Paper Mario, it had absolutely no good RPGs, and even then, if you wanted to play RPGs, what were you doing not having a PlayStation?

[@FaisLittleWhiteRaven]

Me and my cousins played Glover a lot actually... We kept challenging each other to actually beat ONE area, and I don't think we ever managed it before we got hooked on Super Smash Bros and the multiplayer in Conker's Bad Furday~ XD So yeah. I have a weird perverse fondness for it but even I went 'Oh no he completed Glover?!' the moment I saw this vid title XDDD You're a brave good soul - thank you for finally revealing for me that the rest of the game exists. I always wondered. XD

[@matthewvandyk7773]

[@valettashepard909]

Say what you will about this game, but the Atlantis level soundtracks are pretty good. N64 versions are longer while the PlayStation ones tend to have a higher bitrate. I prefer the n64 ones. There’s some nice remixes of them too

[@darrenmacqueen9884]

I owned this game as a kid. We didn't have too many games on the N64, so I would beat this game over and over. I used to love it.

[@therwtyt]

You are legit the first person I've ever heard call this game bad

[@TheXtremeBoltGuy]

So anyways, play Glover. It's super worth it, and despite some clunky controls it's hilarious all the way through XD Just don't play the Steam version, Piko is notorious for screwing with games' coding, intentionally, and really don't care about video game preservation all that much

[@evansieber6172]

Glover is a game I owned when I was young, thought it was just kind of okay, then traded it for 30 or so Pokemon Trading Cards including a Golem which I didn't have, not the worst deal in the world ...now giving away Smash 64 along with it was where it became a dreadful deal and I wouldn't own Smash 64 and Glover until almost a decade later
