Worst Games Ever - Alone In The Dark: Inferno

[@PoisonAppleADay]

the slow-mo and dramatic music for the "they're not gonna make it" jump was my favorite part

[@mattshaw5179]

Domino's should use that as their new advertising slogan. 'Domino's: it'll clean you right out!'

[@Swedishtrex]

Loving the spooktober theme! It's actually kind of beautiful.

[@ItzOZZA]

Freak.

[@BiscuitMerchant]

They could use an extra fifties worth of brightness.

Can we please take the time to Thank Ben Potter and Peter Austin as well as the other content creators whom we love for putting in mad work and constantly providing entertainment. Workhorses, all of you. Thank you Triple Jump/Vidiots. ❤❤❤❤

[@keithdoyle2535]

Amen, Nu-Punk Rants. Great pair of lads doing great work.

[@Stephenx63]

pull your tounge out of their assholes, dogs do that, your not a dog are you Nu-Punk?

[@em_birch]

@@Stephenx63 I should hope people aren't letting dogs lick their bums. Or else you mixed up your metaphor, sunny.

[@MrFooFighter13]

Had a quick gander at Brad's previous work (and yes, he very much does look like a 'Brad') He gave Bioshock 70%... "BioShock certainly satisfies the standard FPS criteria but falls short of carving itself a place in the top tier."

[@the-np4mr]

Probably the only reviewer I agree with on bioshock lmao

[@prayforjonas]

I just played through Prey for the first time and the whole time I was wondering why so many games have chased after emulating Bioshock when it was a just mediocre shooter with a memorable story lol

[@OS-vw7uv]

“Big light.” My wife is English and she calls it big light too 😄. Maybe that’s why the game was so dark, they needed to turn big light on.

[@FearNLoathing0]

Spooky intro was great! Really enjoy the remixes!

[@Mintylight]

The inventory system and having to pick things out of your pockets as enemies attacked you were brilliant I thought. I wish more games had you looking through your pockets in real time. Really cool and nerve racking.

[@knotz909]

Just stumbled upon this channel which has apparently been going on for almost a year. Ben and Peter were my absolute favorites in WhatCulture and I am glad I have an entire channel to comb through now of new content from my favorite lads. Also don't have to hear jules insert himself into everything

[@OfficialFingazMC]

Gotta love the spookems intro!

[@hickey1292]

I can't get over that the dramatic car jump music still triggers even if you fail. This game is amazing.

[@Jesterhead-ow6gu]

I had this game on 360, and admittedly, it wasnt faultless...it was fun and challenging. Controls were weird but it wasnt unplayable. Just my opinion

[@ToriBudgets349]

I really do love the spooky intro/outro.

[@skytreeschalice]

Was not prepared for Connor, the android sent by cyberlife. He was the spookiest thing in the whole video!

[@em_birch]

13:38 Every time Ben makes a McElroy reference my heart soars.

[@Alucard-A-La-Carte]

"Millions of people will regret it" is a real 48% line.

[@lelandvaughan4429]

ROFL I've been dying since he shot you for not looking at him!!!

[@captain_legend7551]

The "Who Am I" song from the soundtrack and the scene of the game in which it is played (the car scene where you are driving through New York in Chaos) are the best parts of this game. You can see what the developer's were going for. Honestly, if they had a couple more years to develop it and maybe relax on having too many "cool" gameplay mechanics plus a better story, it could have been a super-hit I feel. Maybe not. It was the first game I played for my Halloween tradition of playing scary games back in High School on the 360. I have some good memories of the game, for the most part...once the game reached the infamous Central Park open world part, that is where I stopped playing. Glad I did as the end is not worth it. (Watch the ending for a laugh)

[@dasfowler]

DM: You enter the studio with your cohost. You see a table set with several toys and a video game. The lights are off. What do you do? Ben and Peter: We roll for spookiness! *Rolls die. Gets a 1*.

[@wayneswirl]

Liked for the intro alone 😂 spooky lads

[@doomiag]

Damn that groovy intro theme. The funk is so real

[@CorrosionAudio]

Glad you liked it! Gonna have to come up with something festive for later in the year...

[@SpaceMissile]

@@CorrosionAudio hey, do you handle all the music for Triple jump? i've been trying to find one of their songs' names (one of the background tracks from their lists series) PS: seconding that good intro music; nice stuff

[@15UGADawg]

I actually enjoyed Alone in the Dark! It was interesting and different back in the day when I played it.

[@roryk101]

Smudge marks on my phone screen gave Ben a giant sombrero

[@danielhooper152]

Aw man; I remember picking up this game for $20. I heard about how bad it was, but horror games on the PS3 were really lacking and I was curious. It really is awful on so many levels, and I got the platinum for it... ...Look, there was only like 3 trophies left when the game was completed and they were easy! STOP JUDGING ME!

[@AlmightyPolarBear]

You did get 47 of them. It makes sense you finish it off.

[@TheVolginator]

Wait! That means I'm...a hundred years old

[@locke6066]

I wrote a review for this version, for a now defunct gaming site, back when I did things like that. It's definitely worse than most but the soundtrack by Olivier Deriviere is still one of the best

[@Mintylight]

"A FLOATER?!" More like 86 floaters.

[@MasterCrumble]

The sad thing is that Alone in the Dark: Illumination (2015) seems even crappier! I dunno how they managed that.

[@casanovafunkenstein5090]

To be honest I thought that they were playing that one. Never heard of it being released with the 'inferno' subtitle. Is this some sort of 'enhanced'edition or something?

[@MasterCrumble]

@@casanovafunkenstein5090 Yeah something like that. As Petey said, the PS3 version got some fixes and apparently that new title. I wish they had played Illumination instead. :P

[@notmus]

The inferno is masterpiece compared to the illuminated, oh wait is already masterpiece don't need to compare.

[@Jason0binladen]

The fact this scored higher than new vegas is a shame

[@DoctorMoreau]

You can skip to the next scene if the game is bugged out ! Epic

[@joywilson4668]

This is already pretty spooky, will I need to hide behind my cushion?

[@Boogie_the_cat]

This game ate so many marbles that when it farted while wearing shorts, all the neighbors heard the breaking glass sounds. That means it sucked, very noticeably and spectacularly so. The one good thing about it was that I learned never to eat more marbles than you can comfortably fit in your small intestine, and when eating marbles as an amateur, avoid the big ones and go slow. Now I am a marble madness player, IRL I use the trackball to play like a pro. Trackball is an app that remembers how many marbles I have eaten vs. the number I have excreted. This is a pro tip, as all Marble Madness pros use a trackball. How would a d pad help me count marbles? I had no idea the beginning of the game was us getting an exorcism. I would have reviewed it higher by 2%. The great 'spreading fire' mechanics earned it 10%, so in total, the game was 13% good. Good job Edward Carnby. Now go run into the fire after eating a whole bowl of marbles. I want to see how the Havok physics handles THAT.

[@theyalwayscomeinfall]

There have only been two games ive ever purchased that i literally couldnt play. One was LA Noire. Something had gone wrong with the burning of the disc or something. The game was brand new but my Xbox couldnt read it. The other was the Xbox version of this game. I reached a point, fairly early on, where scripted events just wouldnt happen. I replaced the LA Noire disc. Didnt bother replacing this one.

[@noahjohnson5959]

I loved the part where they reacted terrifyingly to less than regular traffic in America.

[@xss-3316]

FINALLY found out where you went after Whatculture! Thank God. lol

[@tobycrane1893]

they also had a channel called vidiots if you didn't know

[@Reno20k]

Alone in the Dark Colon Inferno. Sounds like a new Dominos product.

[@prayforjonas]

Man I love the Halloween theme so much lol

[@zfizz21]

The spookums were off the charts with this one, boys. Don't know how y'all handled it 😱

[@jasonjones7461]

I played an Alone in the Dark on Wii and...my god it was unplayably bad. You had to bandage yourself to heal and instead of being cool like MGS snake eater, it was just the worst thing ever.

[@ikmnification5737]

I think most of the positive reviews came from 2008 being a completely different time in Survival Horror. Deadspace still hadn't been released, and much of everything prior had been shooty bang bangs with a spooky paint job claiming to be Survival Horror. It was probably a breath of smokey ashy air for some.

[@notmus]

But Dead space came in PS3 and alone in the dark in PS2, there's a big difference. Also 2007-2008 was a golden year for PS3, the only next gen console that really bring something new.

[@M00SHTY]

This was a good one. They got some real energy out of this one lol

[@ThatShyGuyMatt]

I think this is my fav WGE so far. At least in terms of cringe.

[@spandexmonkey2745]

This game looks hilarious. It's nice to see Ben enjoying playing a worse than most game for once rather than wanting to jump out of a window.

[@SpaceMissile]

Woah that intro really caught me off guard. _Spoopy!_

[@michaelpitcher2820]

That screen tearing is immediately the first thing I remember when people bring this game up.

[@danielgloag7896]

Great video guys!

[@HubertCumbadale02]

Alone in the dark, not the blinkiest game ever, but blinkier than most

[@insignificantaftermathPROJECTS]

"It's SO dark!!" Says two guys playing a game called Alone in the Dark lol

[@macklemuk]

Banging intro guys!

[@meandurphy9366]

So spoopy I soiled my pyjamas........TripleJump PJs perhaps??

[@bozazz]

This may not be true, but apparently that hole in Ben’s quiff is for dogs to put their willies in.

[@AlmightyPolarBear]

I remember thinking this game would have been cool. I still have my Alone-in-the-Dark *T-shirt* that came with the Wii version (and I wear it).

[@DarrenEggleston]

I sold this game to GameStop for $.50. I feel I ripped them off. It was on the shelf used for $.70

[@notmus]

You give it for free then, i bought it 10€ for PS3 because is masterpiece and Underrated gem.

Loving that intro

[@truejoker1211]

the triple jump hoodies are actually somewhat stylish.

[@WatrDragn]

They must have an illegal early copy of the game. There's no way they wouldn't have enjoyed the full-release copy of the Alone in the Dark: Inferno.

[@slamblamboozled1245]

This, and Turning Point: Fall of Liberty(another WGE), were the first games I had on PS3.

[@Elkyrie2]

v spooky intro boys, don't think i'll sleep tonight

[@falagarius]

I'm all about that intro

[@mickeymouse12678]

That blink mechanic looks incredibly annoying. Who the fuck came up with that?

[@sonicsean34]

Always cathartic to see others experience the suffering of this game hehe. This was the game that made me stop caring about collector editions. I got the Xbox 360 edition and suffered so much. It looks weird and controls horrendously. Heck, the whole era of gaming could be characterised as devs playing with new toys available to them on Xbox 360/PS3 they had no idea how to use and then used them in the worst possible ways from graphics tech to gameplay mechanics the games of that time have aged worse for me than PS2 era games. It’s jarring when I see full franchise retrospective videos cos the PS3/360 era games somehow take me out of it even when PS2 games are being shown in their native res they somehow look better cos they just nailed everything they attempted on those but flubbed in the HD games (seriously compare ps2 silent hill games to Xbox 369 silent hill games)

[@billy6464]

this one is a bit of a hidden gem imo. If you can deal with some annoying sections there's a pretty good game here

[@HomTolland69]

The blink mechanic is very interesting. Hope someone uses it for a good game.

[@notmus]

Many of the game mechanics are interesting and fresh, healing animations, fire damage on enemies, item combinations, power mechanics, fire mechanics etc.

[@insignificantaftermathPROJECTS]

Cheat code central sounds like Chico Central lol

[@daffyphack]

There's another Alone in the Dark article on Gamecritics where a different writer is taking IGN to task for shitting on AiTD. Incidentally, I've also had the misfortune of playing it, and I remember being legit amazed at how broken a supposedly finished presumably full-priced game could be.

[@notmus]

This game was ranked 8/10 by the official playstation 2 magazine, because back then it was something fresh and brilliant for PS2 mostly and is still is.

[@JadedJester739]

Love your recap of Crowley and happy you pronounced it right. Crow like the bird, lee. Us Americans always butcher it like Crow like 'owe i hurt' lee. He was a rad dude. I remember preordering and getting this on launch on 360 and being soo fuckin pissed. What a shitty game

[@funwithoutpants]

I can't wait until the beginning of the year. No more shitty Halloween or Xmas bullshit in videos.

[@em_birch]

Joke ended up being on you because 2020 is a dumpster fire.

[@cosmickeystomycreationandtimes]

Boohoo :(

[@Tricolorrr533]

How did they get their hands on the only backwards compatible ps4?

[@kayfimt7769]

The shame is that this was a good series once. 1 was a survival horror pioneer and masterpiece that directly inspired Resident Evil, 2 and 3 were frustrating but intriguing experiments with the style, and 4 was competent but sadly imitated it’s more popular descendants. This (5) and 6 (which could also be on this show) are awful. I thought 6 would kill the franchise off but 7 has just been announced, so fingers crossed.

[@grimrascal670]

urgh this game, i got it on the wii because they made the controls look great but they were crap and then years later I bought the special edition on the xbox for £5 thinking maybe that would be decent, it wasnt and now I have an alone in the dark statue gathering dust from buying the special edition, thats the real terror..in the dark.

[@starrstarr7197]

I miss cheat code central 😢

[@DawnApon]

Its not the darkest game, but its darker than most

[@sciencefirst5363]

[@scatman64]

i play and finnish this game, is not brillant but is not trash at all...

[@8bitInfidel]

Think at the end you guys should give the game a triple jump review score. Awesome episode, Great as always

[@deathsnitemaresinfullust2269]

Haa! Sounds like "Brad" wrote what he Actually thought about the game but gave it a score that ensured his ability to receive other free games i mean "review copies" in the future. 😄👍

[@andreas4971]

The game is literally a total mess.(Playing it currently). The game crashes so often, and when you try to reinstall it, it stops at 89% 9/10 times. HORRIBLE! Ps3 version wich was supposed to be fixed btw.

[@bigwaveyyy626]

That’s weird af I guess 57% overall rating too lol

[@bensparshott3542]

I played the Xbox 360 version and it was total dog shit tbh. I would just piss about with the fire extinguisher for ages. My friends and I found it hilarious spraying everyone when I was 13

[@qT_p13]

I never noticed the victim introduced the game...is that really a thing?

[@surfacner5989]

You need to play Frank Herbert's Dune XD That is one of the worse things i ever played

[@WobblyPants]

Early worst games ever nice

[@Siresly]

Alone in the Dark had lots of cool, ambitious ideas, cramming in so many that perhaps they didn't have enough time and resources to completely make sense of it all, or bring things up to sufficient quality. I would say that it's much further from being a bad game than a good one, and I liked it for its experimental attitude and ambition. It's at the very least an interesting game. Also the soundtrack was really good. *99%* *- It's not perfect* Eden Games also made Test Drive Unlimited in 2006, which turned out to be far ahead of its time, offering a large open world to cruise around in with other nearby players automatically populating the world, listening to your own playlist, lots of years before Forza Horizon. It also had weird ambitions with its rich douchebag lifestyle theme, which was perhaps a less successful direction.

[@Siresly]

Its "realistic" and "intuitive" physics-and-simulation-based approach to puzzle solving was neat. Stuff like, oh no a locked door, guess I have to find a key? No, just bash the fucking door in with a fire extinguisher. And also the fire extinguisher works and you can put out fires with it. Also you can put things on fire. Or when you're trying to get out of the parking garage and you find something to break a car window with, unlock it, get in and search through it looking for the keys, using this whole gameplay system they've made specifically just for looking through and interacting with car interiors. Unfortunately you're then asked to drive the car, which is probably the worst part of the whole game. It looks like total ass even in this supposedly improved PS3 version. I agree with the gist of what Brad is saying, that Alone in the Dark deserves some kudos for thinking outside the box and doing weird and/or cool stuff. But this really isn't a 95% game. It's not perfect at all, it's a 99%.

Kicking themselves in the ass, presumably
