The Ridiculous Story of The Expensive Deadpool Game

[@AlexWebb101]

Hello my guys, since making this video the reported budget has been heavily disputed. There’s no definitive confirmation on if it did or did not cost $100 million and I definitely should’ve put it under a lot more scrutiny rather than just taking the reports I found at face value, especially given that the game really doesn’t look like it was made with that huge budget in mind. My bad on the research front, won’t happen again 🫡

That's exactly what it's supposed to be. Deadpool took the script at the start of the game and decided to go wild with it. He doesn't want to make his tragic story he wants to make people laugh and have a good time he took over the script and made the game epic.

[@et4003]

Another aspect of Deadpool that’s been pushed to the side in modern interpretations of the character is the fact that he’s a pretty bad person. The reason he’s depressed and hates himself is because he’s done many horrible things as a merc and to the people close to him, and doesn’t believe he deserves to be good. He does want to change and tries to, but sabotages it because he doesn’t trust himself to do the right thing. He does have some heroic qualities but deep down he’s still pretty shitty

[@mr.x6313]

I really think Marvel Studios would be wise to cast Deadpool as a minor antagonist in the next (theoretical) X-Men movie. Have the villain hire him to capture or kill the X-Men. Then have Angel, rich boy that he is, finally hire him onto their side.

[@et4003]

I don't know much about comics Deadpool, but this reminds me of Spiderman 2099 from Across the Spiderverse, who was more of a stoic character compared to other versions. Since he became very popular due to that movie it seems like writers are making other versions of him similar to the Spiderverse version instead of going for a more comic accurate versions, which could be a good thing or a bad thing depending on who you ask. This happend with Harley Quinn in Suicide Squad too, but the Caped Crusader Animated Series seems to be going in a new direction for the character, which I appreciate.

As enjoyable as the game is, I can’t imagine spending the current market price for it, and be happy with the game. It’s a blast, but it’s short, and gets a bit repetitive. 15 to 30 bucks seems to be the right price for this game in my opinion. It’s such a shame people can’t experience this game legally anymore.

the thing about this game's gross underperformance that was also depressing to me as a transformers fan is that the execution of high moon meant that we would never get anymore transformers games from them and those cybertron games are by far the best transformers video games ever. and that wasn't even the end of how bad transformers was screwed around this time with devastation which also bombed depressingly even though it was amazing and another really great character action game in the vein of platinum's other games like bayonetta but with 80s robots and the last transformers movie tie in game also sold horrendously as well

One thing that really stuck with me from my playthroughs was after the carnival level, and Deadpool leaves the camera goes back and reveals it wasn't really a carnival ride.

And the sequel is all about Wase being suicidal. They feel pretty genuine to the character, both the light hearted and the dark.

Obviously it's not gonna have good ratings cause they're completely objective with that and they don't rate the game based on how fun or funny it is. Plot wise I don't get your complaints about it... The whole plot is that THERE IS NO PLOT. I get that you expect one because it's a story game and it should have a plot. But if you know anything about deadpool, then you would know that he's not like the rest, so I think this fits him perfectly. I even played this this year and enjoyed it a lot. They did a great job 👏👏

I loved Daniel Way’s run in Deadpool. It might have been more comedic in tone, but still had plenty of the dark stuff. Not only did it feature the storyline where he fell in love with Death, but at one point, he becomes so self loathing that he actually baits the Hulk into trying to kill him, and once Hulk figures out what Deadpool is trying to do, he calms down, transforms back into Bruce Banner, and tells him he won’t kill him. It’s actually a surprisingly poignant scene from a comic that’s known more for how silly and violent it is. Also, the scene where Deadpool has an arrow stuck in his head and he starts to pick up the signal from a Christian radio station and thinks he’s hearing the voice of God is still one of the most legitimately laugh out loud funny things I’ve ever read in a comic.

When I got this game as a teenager, I really liked it, probably cuz I was a teenager and i spent all the money I was saving at the time to buy games. I kinda convinced myself anything I bought was good cuz u kno, sunk cost fallacy or whatever. I’ve played it since and it’s fun but I really think nostalgia is holding it together for me

[@Cristian121212100]

I bought this game before the movie came out and paid $60 and thought that was too expensive, now it’s damn near $200. But to be honest I loved the game, I replayed a few times to get the platinum and fell in love with the game, I loved the senseless humor and it did have a plot but it was buried under all the jokes and the goofy stuff, but for the most part I really loved the game. The combat did feel repetitive but it also felt satisfying, never became boring or tedious. Solid 8/10 for me.

[@mrmusickhimself]

I became a Deadpool fan due to Joe Kelly's take on the character - depicting Wade as a deeply troubled and dangerous anti-hero who torments Blind Al and Weasel and constantly wrestles with his own self worth. All that is gone because fart fart chimichanga 4th wall wokka wokka.

[@MrSpartan993]

It’s come and gone in a cycle depending on who’s writing him I think.

[@mrmusickhimself]

@@MrSpartan993 Do you remember that Nostalgia Critic review of Deadpool 2? Everyone made fun of it back then because Doug Walker gonna Doug, but his parody of Comic Con Deadpool's were dead on. I kind of want to see bi-polar, dangerous, depressed Deadpool for longer than 5 minutes. Especially Wade's "Bad Room".

[@shermang27]

I enjoyed Joe Kelly's take, but Fabian Nicieza really figured Wade out in Deadpool & Cable despite the run wanting to be a Cable book up until they weren't allowed to use him. Seriously, Deadpool's arc in the last few issues is fantastic despite needing to be crammed into a book with an impending cancelation. Him discovering he can play well with others without compromising who he is was such a high note. It was shocking realizing that was the main Deadpool character arc future writers would explore and repeat for years.

[@mrmusickhimself]

@@shermang27 Fabian indeed created a classic series with Cable and Deadpool, but Joe Kelly's the guy who made me a fan. I don't MIND Daniel Way, but I do feel like that's where Wade took a turn for the goofier.

[@rebelgames2710]

Man….if my son didn’t break my ps4 disk trey 4 years ago, I wouldn’t have sold all my ps4 disk and would still have this treasure of a game. 😢

[@No_Doe]

I am impressed you got together such a high quality Deadpool cosplay just for this video

[@Robman92]

Hey, I loved this game too! Played through it 2-3 times and I normally only play through games once. I also met Nolan North a few months ago and told him I loved the game and his Deadpool performance, telling him he was one of my fave Deadpool voice actors to which he replied “I’m the only Deadpool!” with a glee ful smile 😄

[@ArkhamSause]

This game is the best deadpool game because it has the energy as if it was story boarded and written by deadpool himself

[@kyle6209]

The movies do a good job with introducing a lot of heart felt moments about how sad dead pool can be

[@panfilip9963]

I'm so glad a gaming magazine in Poland years ago used to attatch 2 DVDs with PC games to every issue. One of those was an officially-licensed copy of Deadpool game. Currently it's about the only legal way to get it in Poland, and it's also a DRM-free. Costs about $10 second hand, but that's money well spent, I'd say.

[@MrSpartan993]

That’s a steal by US standards!

[@Ragnellrok]

Props for using Deadpool's MVC3 Theme for the outro, he's actually my favorite character to play as.

[@TheMemeKingOfficial]

[@optillian4182]

"Well guess what? We found it!" "AAAAAA-"

[@Mr.Capitalism]

As should be

[@SakuraAvalon]

Did not realize how lucky I was when I found a PS4 copy for 30 dollars at GameStop, a couple months back. Had no clue the price was so inflated at the time.

[@MasterBlaster2811]

You can't keep avoiding Suicide Squad game.

[@unfortunatewitnessX]

Uh.....why not?

[@kingol4801]

It is a masterpiece, without any irony. One of the best game movies of all tome

[@galvatron5778]

Getting cursed to look like tom cruise is one of my favorite arcs. That and the arc where his mind is actively dying and he calls guns doorknobs

[@teamcynda6202]

0:56 not just antidepressants. Homie needs some antipsychotics

[@EtherealMystic]

was super obsessed with this game when i was younger., This game and that infamous leaked deadpool movie scene is what got me into the character.

[@MartianTerror17]

I love this game. It has a unique charm that truly embodies the character. It's a hidden gem like The Punisher on PS2 and Xbox.

[@ThatGrayJediYT]

Thank you for putting a scene from two and a half men I’m so happy

[@TIGGUH5]

I still sing “who tf is that?, it’s the man out of time, who tf is that?, (something) fight crime, it’s f*ckin cable”

[@cbake76]

"He likes to fight crime," I'm pretty sure. 🙂

[@Bman32x]

I seriously thought this game was going to full on parody other games like having game mechanics making you think you’re suddenly playing Medal of Honor, God of War and whatever other game was popular of the time.

[@radrno7]

As someone who didn't know Deadpool, I loved this game and still do. As a player, I enjoy it, it's pretty fun and good to have a chill time, despite the boring gameplay. As a comic book fan, it's like an adult parody, it has everything you ever wanted to see on screen, but after you had your round, you just feel like that was it and wish you could've seen the real deal. Does that make it bad? Obviously not. If the game makes me enjoy it on what it aimed for, it served its purpose. Even if fans don't like it, it is what got their favorite character to become such a big title and allowed for movies to become the titan of +18 Marvel bucks they are now.

[@grilogrilado4176]

I honestly enjoyed this game… as nicely said it’s good to unplug the brain and relax haha Awesome video as always! I just loved the editing and the jokes hahaha

[@Lootron]

Really love your outro montages! Really well put together, Alex. All of your videos are.

[@Ultimate_Underdog09]

Been looking for a deadpool psyhcial copy forever and finally found it at a yard sale for 3 dollars

[@NefertitiAphrodite]

I didnt expect this game to not sell well. I hate when people get so attached to non existent characters that they cant just enjoy a game

[@Chococodile]

I actually got the Deadpool game for my 16th birthday and loved the hell out of it. And honestly if I could play it again I'd probably still enjoy it.

[@MoreTVO]

I remember playing this on the 360 on launch and I had a lot of fun with it, but it not having a story really hit during the ending, like "that was it?"

[@doktorphlog2143]

I'd say that this is a great version of Deadpool, in his manic swings he gets energetic like this pretty often, and im pretty sure he was a fan of dubstep while jungle artists were working in their basements in the 90s, so...

[@ukdeathwheel]

Part of why it sold terribly was because it was so difficult to find in game stores. I had to buy it on steam upon release as literally no shop sold it

[@JohnixFTW]

3:47 using dubstep and random memes while criticizing its use of it was very meta

[@deejayhamm]

I bought this game the week it came out, and loved every second of it. It was such a unique game that only far cry dragon blood dragon could compete against in terms of insanity and out of the box wackiness. I still have that physical copy and might just dust it off this week to honor the new movie coming out.

[@moxxy3565]

Deadpool's "healing factor" didn't cure his cancer. His healing factor IS his cancer. Except it's like super-cancer now.

[@TheBunchel]

Honestly that makes sense in a weird, nonsensical way. His entire body is the tumor now, so his entire body can immediately regenerate tissue like how a tumor doesn’t stop growing.

[@Airemon]

I bought this game for my x box back in the day, played the shit out of it. Now forever later my son plays the shit out of it on my old xbox and yep this game is freaking awesome. Also that's not a shoe, it was a Sentinel's foot.

[@Claire_the_nerd]

HE HAS RETURNED!!!

[@mercurypillis5417]

Ngl that edit at the last minute of the video was the best possible way to end this video.👏🏻

[@richardabrantes5907]

I Would Give This Game A 8.5 Out Of 10 Because It’s A Fun And Hilarious Game. Normally I Would Play A Game With Spotify But Deadpools Commentary Is Just So Funny That I Play The Game With Its Normal Audio On. The Gameplay Is Extremely Fun And Is What I Mostly Would Envision A Deadpool Game Would Play Like

[@alangreen5220]

Why did you capitalize every word

[@iamontda]

It certainly was just a meme-y mess, but as a teen who was fully into the internet culture of the time I really loved it. The comedy was stupid, but at the time so was the online space. The longevity wasn't there, but the game certainly stands on its own as a little microcosm representation of the internet in the 2010s, and in that way it's a weird but fun time capsule. I do wish it had an actual plot, but at the time I didn't even pay attention to that!

[@therandomcommunityguy]

the editing on this man is something else i can't stop laughing alex your amazing I can't wait for the abysmal ssktjl video its gonna be a stinking blast😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@theunknowncell442]

After replaying the game after the movie came out, I thought "wow, what a dumpster fire of a game." But thanks to this new uproar of fans, I got my money back 20 fold on ebay

[@AntiSkarabey]

For whose who don't know from there ending song is, it's Deadpool theme from Marvel vs Capcom 3.

[@simpcat4415]

I’m surprised that people don’t like Daniel ways run. I absolutely adore it and think that there was a lot of emotional depth to his character. I think he found the perfect balance between the comedy/meme stuff and the serious moments.

[@joelbyjack]

No offense to Ryan Reynolds but Nolan North is so much better at doing Deadpool than him.
