TOP 5 TURDS of 2017 - The Rageaholic

[@drmangrum]

The "Strong Female Protagonist" bullshit is getting WAAAAY out of hand. It's to the point where every video game, book, movie, and television show is defined as having a "strong female protagonist" and it's predictable and BORING. The irony is that they're not all that strong; nearly all of them are Mary Sue's. They need to stop with the trying to beat the feminism drum and return to making good stories. Ellen Ripley is the gold standard of "strong female protagonist." They should use her as a model. She didn't whine about being a woman. The writers and director didn't go out of their way to make her seem oppressed. She just killed some damn aliens; gender was irrelevant.

[@Ramsey276one]

THEY DID NOT EVEN CARE ABOUT GENDER! Woman? Sure, why not!

[@kittybrowneye3163]

I actually like horizon though I whole heartedly agree

[@TheDevilinThePaleMoonlight]

3yrs later and it's only gotten worse luckily tho, flop after butt fucking flop has all but permeated every entertainment medium that keeps trying to shoehorn "strong female protagonists" into plots where they all have distinctively masculine traits anyway and at some point in the near future (i believe) these companies WILL get tired of losing money. May take a few more years but they will realize that fake Twitter praise from blue haired, side shaved weirdos won't ever keep the power company from shutting ur lights off.

[@glens2019]

And that they pretend it's their first time every time. Just take a look at Disney's list of first [non-straight] character in [increasingly specific form of media].

[@Conan_Kilgore]

How to make a triple a game: Give main character an abrasive personality. Give main character a high tech bow or sword. Make sure main character (and as many as possible supporting characters) is a woman Make a big world with to little to do. Tell everyone how innovative it is. Collect all the money.

[@TheAndosman]

Except Nier: Automata was an ACTUAL good game.

[@handsomebrick]

Don't forget to use the same engines everyone else does, ensuring it will look and play exactly like all the others.

[@maskeddog2077]

You forgot the most important part of all: make the woman look like a man-jawed transvestite.

[@Conan_Kilgore]

vin 950 chalk another one up for neir and it's gratuitous levels of waifu bait.

[@romanplays1]

@Kyros Droztamyr im with andos. its a good game.

[@gadgetboy4717]

Charles Bronson lived in California twice and yet he was so busy dealing with the street criminals he didn't find the time to stop by the EA headquarters and clean house

[@rumblebird9888]

Would’ve been dope if he did

[@OptiumusMagnum]

Was that Terran Gell's voice for "Collectibles" and "Strong Female Protagonist" for that first one? That made me laugh.

[@Headbiter]

Curse me, hate me, hurt me, kill me for saying this but the first two minutes alone is why I desperately long for you to make more game-related content. Like the political stuff, LOVE the mythos but shit like this always manages to crack me up. Great work. And shoutout to the Terran for sounding as bored and lifeless as only an emotionally dead sidekick can be.

[@Headbiter]

I have to admit I know none of the names you mentioned (sans Razör, obviously) but I'll give Eight Thoughts a view then. Thanks.

[@crossbones116]

The Kars reference was a thing of fuckin' beauty.

[@Ferret0418]

Is that a motherfucking Jojo reference?!

[@sofakingimmature]

I don't think it was. I don't see Razor or Terran as anime fans. Also, Jojo references a lot of heavy metal and rock music (which is the bread and butter of this channel).

[@CiaphusHelborg]

Didn't expect to see Kars

[@handsomebrick]

Terran is most definitely an anime fan.

[@ThunderShadow98]

I was shocked to see that in one of his videos haha.

[@Waldstiem]

"Glade freshening ball mist" Razor you just won the internet for the year with that phrase :)

[@pillznarRy]

Another Rageaholic masterpiece.

[@WCBs]

I love Bob Vila!

[@whenthemusicsover6028]

Love Terran Gell's deadpan vocal deliveries during the first entry. :)

[@dianabarnett6886]

But I like bows. I do miss the days when a female character could be just that and not some bitchy, bland-faced paragon of Feminism whose only defining character traits are "strong and independent".

[@constantin5509]

Same.

[@revolveroshawott3582]

You didn't play HZD then, because Aloy isn't an overly-feminist character, and they certainly don't play into the 'strong and independent' cliche - to be honest, she's a little on the bland side, but that's because they purposely _don't_ play into the tropes that you claim they do, and instead opt for just having a random 'heroic' protagonist You could literally replace Aloy with a guy, not change any of her dialogue, and it'd be the exact same character. As I said, she's actually a little on the plain side because of it, but the game and lore itself is still solid You want bitchy, bland-faced paragon of feminism, Andromeda - and Andromeda alone - pretty much covered all those bases for the entire f***ing year

[@comicsans1689]

>"you could literally replace Aloy with a guy" Not hard to do, considering she has a man face that puts Chads to shame.

[@brennanwn]

YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT ALOY OR Horizon Zero Dawn. So do me a favor and zip it.

[@ThisHandleSystemCanGetNicked]

@@comicsans1689 Except she doesn't. It seems that your only problem is that she doesn't look like 1990's Lara Croft which is an idiotic standard to hold them to. Either way, i don't care whether or not she's super attractive, i care about how well she's portrayed - and Alloy is a FAR cry from Rey.

[@Bloodylaser]

I still can't believe EA said "we learned from our mistakes" my god. And Bioware should ashamed for inviting Sarkeesian.

[@MyEvilTaco]

Yes,yes yes! We need more of these Razor. 10/10 top worst list this ever. Your way of commenting and editing never gets old and always leaves a smile from beginning to end.

[@jarlath6815]

My Christ this was ruthless

[@Thrashie]

Why limit it to 5?

[@otakon17]

Thr4shie he doesn't want to lose his voice.

[@Birmanncat]

Asking real questions here

[@MrDontaDarkeo]

If he listed every shit game in 2017 we would not have seen this video until 2020

[@Thrashie]

Losing ones voice shouldn't be something a metal head aint used to. But yea my bad, it's been a shitty year for most part.

[@EmoEmu]

Going beyond 5 would add games that, while pretty awful, don't belong to be on the same list as these 5 MovieBobs. Just a guess.

[@Dracul_The_Jester]

Good to see Kars is still in space.

[@海馬ボーイ]

Editing is godly in this one. Good video.

[@uhuhuh1966]

Anyone else think this year Razor was savage as fuck with this? I mean that in every sense, the script and editing, fucking hilarious and on point. Maybe I just needed this today 😂

[@gurugeorge]

Whoah, a Rageaholic masterpiece surprise in my inbox! Nice to see you engaging your excellent videoclip crate-digging skills and animation skills again too.

[@StylinandRaciallyProfilin]

Originality in games is all but dead. Thank goodness for Kingdom Come: Deliverance.

[@Tyrin_Wolfinzar]

Bless you and this whole rant, Razor.

[@xmegami5511]

God, Razor sure is late for his worst games of 2017 list. *He styles the video on Megaman X5* The wait, has never been so worth it.

[@paulbalch9506]

Maybe taking his time was good. It gave him time to play all the late releases of the year (like SW: BF2).

[@Knightishful]

A Jojo reference? I knew Terran was a god-damn weeb

[@BatsAndNights]

That intro was off the fucking chain

[@darkspirit7294]

Be care there razorfist, KZbin might take down your channel for being a meanie to David Hogg.

[@watermelontreeofknowledge8682]

Amerifat Ambassador with a last name like Hogg, what’s he trying to compensate for?

[@Baelzar]

After the abuse KZbin has already heaped upon him, I don't know why he doesn't switch to Bitchute. It's like he's an abused wife that can't leave.

[@dagoelius]

And he has.

[@ironriderslsm]

David Hogg should have changed his last name. Oh too late. His fame is the fire that burns his abode. Oops, mwahahahaha!

[@DemienC.]

Psygnosis... Ouch. "In childhood" indeed.

[@DemienC.]

In Amiga era that owl logo was very well known.

[@absolutelyyousless7605]

3:59 Only a true man of culture would know what show this is from.... obviously Razor is one of them.

[@zuttoaragi8349]

Actually it'd be more Terran, since he's well-known as a Weeb and does the channel's editing. Still, it takes a special... connoisseur to know Monster Musume's opening instantly.

[@IRMentat]

Terran, glorios job her. I can actually hear your soul slowly dying.

[@mr.esabsurditiesatrocities1805]

I usually enjoy your videos, but holy shit did I love this one. I may have laughed uproariously more times here than any of your other vids. Outstanding job on this one.

[@simon-piermartineau7218]

Both the editing and commentary were superb, this was a very enjoyable watch good sirs.

[@NotAlrightSpider]

I’m amazed that you don’t have more subs. This channel is one of my favorites.

[@celticfury7328]

Don't sweat the timing, Razor...while most mediocre games come and go, a true turd is eternal!

[@williamwadsworth761]

Dude I love the outro music. Devilman was one of my first anime

[@patchouli3422]

Loving the Mega Man X boss select. Props to T.Boogie for editing that masterpiece.

[@SuicidalChocolateSK]

2:52, just wow. This is by far the best video you've made. 10/10

[@raymilbelmont2521]

Oh my God Razor, you outdid yourself in this entry, I loved it.

[@aregularperson7573]

2:43 made me chuckle hard

[@IzzyLovesRock]

You have no goddamn idea how long I've been waiting for this video, Razor. Like holy fuck you were blue balling the hell out of me. But you finally fucking delivered! Thank you!

[@SkorpTS]

Did not expect to see this in my sub-box today. A pleasant surprise, to be sure.

[@joesomebody3365]

but a welcome one.

[@travisbryantjr6924]

Holy hell youre gonna need to pump this up to at least 10 for 2018...

[@21Kiloton]

People say you are a hater, but all I see is that you care. (But I still wont kiss you on the mouth)

[@infinitypilot]

I would. This man deserves all the manly love he can get.

[@absolutelyyousless7605]

*All OF IT*

[@merlotwilliams]

Masterful work as always my man, God fucking speed. Even this Metal Gear fan boy got a chuckle out of the MGS4 dig.

[@violenceislife1987]

this is art. pure art. thank you Razörfist!!!!

[@EastsideShowSCP]

I been waiting for this!

[@mauszx]

"I'm Razorfist, if is popular, I will hate it"

[@TheRageaholic]

"My name is Oblivious Cunt, and I'm not aware that RazörFist put out exactly two negative reviews in all of last year!" Truly, a bottomless spring of contrarianism. Hit the bricks, dolt.

[@yaldabaoth2]

Ahegao wallpaper! This man is cultured af.

[@joesomebody3365]

I honestly forgot that "Horizon Zero Dawn" existed, also on the Andromeda thing, totally agree; a friend and I rented it, we could barely get through the opening missions it was so boring and bland.

[@joesomebody3365]

VC Donovan: Most games triple A games are kinda like that unfortunately, everyone copying whatever model of gameplay is popular that season (sandbox, FPS, open world RPG, action-adventure, etc); and once in a great while a game breaks the mold, does something impressive you remember it for... then everyone starts copying them and the cycle repeats.

[@theeternalslayer]

People are still salty that it was overshadowed by breath of the wild. Well here's the problem. breath of the wild is actually good, yeah I said it, its fucking zelda of course people were going to like it more! A deep colorful open world with little to no restrictions the fucking climbing in that game is so much fun I like it more then assassins creeds climbing. Yeah it was basically far cry zelda but again they took a page out of minecrafts playbook and made it fun!

[@bucknasty69]

@@theeternalslayer Breath of the Wild and Horizon Zero Dawn both sucked. They were typical open world schlock. People only got excited about Breath of the Wild because it had Zelda in the title. It didn't feel or play like a classic Zelda game.

[@theeternalslayer]

@@bucknasty69 nah breath of the wild had creativity and charm, where horizon just felt like monster hunter meets xenoblade chronicles, without the fun, I at least had fun playing breath of the wild, horizon I barely got through 2 hours of play. Obvious bias because of my picture.

[@bucknasty69]

@@theeternalslayer Thing is Breath of the Wild didn't feel like Zelda to me. It was lacking a lot of the trappings of the classic Zelda games. As someone who grew up playing A Link To The Past, Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask etc, BotW felt like another IP with a Zelda veneer. The lack of traditional dungeons, the equipment system, and the food/cooking system really made the game lame imo. And all those little puzzle room things were repetitive and lame.

[@theymusthatetesla3186]

You are SO Awesome!!! Loved the Hitler/aerial picture reference! (not many folk know)

[@artair70]

Can you fill me in?

[@NefariousKoel]

I for one welcome our Paradox overlords if they give me my BT fix.

[@Andrew2002-i7e]

2017 was a whore and 2018 is her hairy ball sack.

[@mariokarter13]

I thought he was jumping the gun on a 2018 list, I legit forgot he hadn't posted this yet.

[@daimonatkins3046]

6:32 Part of me is still wondering if this will ever be talked about due to all the jokes towards Next 2007 over the years

[@LetsPlayPC]

With the games industry in its current state, I don't know how you manage to narrow these lists down to just five.

[@fluffyisyermom7631]

sad to say it only got worse my friend.

[@LetsPlayPC]

@@fluffyisyermom7631 Yes it sure did.

Razor, it's okay to be a little late. We are waiting for Spring to finally show up here in the Great Lakes. Right now I'm looking forward to a sunny Fall.

[@jasongamer8649]

Beautiful. Every word is on point, as usual.

[@constantin5509]

It may have taken a while for this video to come out, but it was goddamn worth it. Though I will admit, I am surprised Prey didn't make it on the list. I was 100% sure it would.

Its in the credits.

[@TheNewAgeGamer97]

The music is always in the credits. You didn't look that hard, but to i'll save you some time. It is called The show must go on by Anthem. It is usually the last credit in every video.

[@KickFarm]

No dude that's the ending song, not the intro song.

[@abyssalknight4081]

A Monster Musume and a Jojo reference w00t

[@PERSONAfan01]

3:58 my god, that completely caught me off guard. In tears of laughter. Is it bad that i know that the song that was used was the Everyday with Monster Girls OP or bad that i recognized half of the images used in that collage? XD

I wondered when the horizon review would drop, it belongs here.

[@jackbiesty3729]

I know the opening song was a MM X5 cover by Krzysztof Słowikowski but witch specific song?

[@MistHarbinger]

Okay, I'll confess, I still enjoyed Horizon: Zero Dawn. I acknowledge it has many... MANY flaws, but I still found it wildly enjoyable. I 100% agree that the rest of the entries on this list were complete garbage.

[@Jonas5188]

MistHarbinger no need to "confess" anything, the game is fine. It's got some tedious open world game bullshit going on but let's be honest; he hates it because it was AAA and well recieved. The cherry on top was the female pro. It's a bias reflex for him at this point. I look at his stuff as entertainment not gospel.

[@kartikayysola]

It's not bad, just absolutely nothing that hasn't been done better in other games. The setting and history (finding out about how life went extinct the first time) was pretty fascinating but that's sort of it. 6 or 7 out of 10 at best.

[@theeternalslayer]

Getting overshadowed by zelda didnt help it either, it wasn't anything really groundbreaking but compared to other open world games before it, it was alright unique setting, fun combat. For alot of veterans (myself included) that grew up playing daggerfall, and gta3 these open world games I would even say breath of the wild falls into that trap of "it's nothing new but at least its fun" it doesnt need to be groundbreaking or revolutionary to be good

[@jorgevespucci9878]

Why did I feel like I'd been fucked after this vid needed a smoke and a cold beer .nice rant razor!BMF!

[@Hyperion5182]

Ok....Gotta ask, why oh why was MVC: Infinite not on this list?

[@TheMoi]

Can't agree with Horizon simply for the fact that the combat was fantastic. Too bad it was slapped over another generic Ubisoft open-world with fedex quests and a never-ending list of collectibles but still, I'll defend Horizon's combat to death.

[@ThreeDaysOfDan]

combat is the meat of the gameplay so all in all it was a great game 8.5/10 for me

[@theeternalslayer]

Well it basically was. I agree the combat saved the game for me too just like the combat and climbing did for breath of the wild. Both games kind of fell into the trap most open world games fall into, once you've finished the game then what? Sure theirs dlc but it always feels like something's missing or it could have been done better, I think it's because of oversaturation of open world games someone on metacritic said metro exodus is basically a last generation game on current gen consoles I laughed my ass off I was like dude thats what this entire generation has been a carry over from the previous generation the same assassins creed far cry open world games with no soul or are just copies of each other are you new to gaming or something!?
