WORST Games of 2019 - ProJared

2019 sucked and you know it and the video games were bad top 10 worst games of 2019 look the game is cute super cute Yoshi's crafted world exhume aesthetic everywhere you look from Yoshi himself to how every level looks like it's built out of crafts and everyday household items all that is great in super charming yes and that's where am i praised ads it doesn't do anything inherently wrong per se it's just so boring not even this is made for super casual or young players kind of boring it's so repetitive it is heavily on the easy side so nothing poses a threat for a challenge and the idea of going back through the same level in the opposite way to see the other side of everything seems like a unique gimmick but ultimately you're playing through every damn level twice with very few changes for what is a new and interesting concept it wasn't utilized in interesting ways or in enough ways to keep the game fun the whole way through it's like that guy who shows up to your party but he doesn't talk to anyone or do anything you just stands in the corner blending into the background you can't help but wonder why is he even here what are you doing who invited him that's Yoshi's crafted world at your party also it's me you know what game I really enjoyed until dawn on the ps4 the developers made the every character can die aspect really work to a fun and surprisingly supernatural story you can feel the weight with each decision the first time you play through it and it was fun to play again to see how things could be different manda Madonn their follow up was the opposite the story was way worse with far more lols we tricked you decisions and what feels like cheap punishment against the player and all the characters are unlikable are so two-dimensional that I couldn't even tell you their names which when compared to untell dawn is really saying something I love these kinds of games and would love to see more of them mana Madan is supposed to be the first game in a new quadrilogy of games setting up an ongoing universe across each game but with how poor this one is it wouldn't surprise me if we end up not seeing the rest of them which makes me kind of sad this is another one of those games where it not turning out well as a letdown because you can tell that it just didn't quite have enough development time into it it runs poorly animations are awkward there are game breaking bugs and it stutters to grow up playing it if they just had a little bit more time for it it would be so much more enjoyable instead the most enjoyment you can get out of mana Madonn is seeing ice men die [Laughter] I've never played a video game that is so aggressively against the player and everything you do death stranding is entirely made of some of the least enjoyable gameplay tropes that everyone despises walking simulator fetch quest and delivery boy but it does all of those things while fighting against you in every possible way controls are asked just the simple action of running from point A to point B and then back to point A to C to D back to a whatever is wrought with Norman dumbass constantly falling over slightly to the side and you have to press the trigger buttons to straighten them out so you don't crash do you know what other game does this exact same thing but facetiously Desert Bus you are a bus slightly drifting off to the side and you have to sometimes press a button so you don't fall over and look like an [ __ ] vehicles are even worse than their handling and the climbing mechanics are laughably absurd there is nothing fun about just running from one place to another over and over and over again your rewards for even doing and in this mind-numbing [ __ ] exposition dumps a results screen and maybe an upgrade the worst part about the results screen is that it shows you all these numbers all these different things you did so you can level up your delivery man level and see it go higher to no tangible effect other than making you feel like you accomplished something when all you really did was waste your time for the past 25 minutes this is the exact same kind of false affirmation that is used by mobile games you are manipulated into thinking you are progressing in that the upgrades are somehow worth it but here's the thing with those upgrades unlike other games when you get new equipment that expands your abilities and makes the game more fun thanks to the newfound power you've acquired death stranding gives you upgrades that only slightly diminish the sheer aggravation you encounter over and over again you don't feel cooler or stronger at any point only the game is less irritating to play but never achieving a healthy point in which it feels fun it's like instead of starting at level 1 and going up to level 30 you start at level negative 2600 and maybe claw your way up to a level of negative 1536 where everything still sucks to play and no the cutscenes in story are not worth it no amount of bad gameplay is worth whatever minutes of cutscenes vaguely explaining a nebulous plot with pseudo philosophical dribble and that amount of game played between said cutscenes can last hours and I mean ours killing any feeling of pacing you were hoping for it sucks it's a huge disappointment after years of enigmatic hype for Kojima's first project free from the garbage fire that is konami in this show that even he needs someone next to him saying hey wait no that's actually a really stupid idea and rein him back in stupid ideas like having the game block your Spotify account on your ps4 forcing you to listen to whatever could Jima Spotify playlist is I was able to find a way around this thanks to this video sponsor rake on rake on makes high quality Bluetooth earbuds they're sleek compact in design and dakari and come in a lot of different colors I have their newest models 2e 25s and I've been super impressed with how good they sound compared to other wireless headphones they last a long time at full charge like 6 hours or so and have improved bass compared to previous models so here's what I did when I'm playing something that doesn't let me listen to my own stuff I used my rake ons I put them on pulled up my favorite podcasts on my phone and then I put on my normal headset on over them so I can hear the game sound a little bit you know just in case something important happens and you can be assured of how comfortable they are as every pair comes with 5 different sizes of the fit you want maximum comfort put them all on there just put them all on there go to buy rake on Comm slash Pro Jared for 15% off [Music] this one hurts nobody wants a game to be bad I don't like saying something doesn't live up to expectations because that may not necessarily be the game's fault with anthem however they failed to live up to the expectations they presented us try to remember the previews of anthem at every e3 event leading up to its release remember the hype the promises the actual gameplay footage shown along with Electronic Arts saying this is how the game will be it's like everyone forgot that is being published by Electronic Arts so of course they stepped in and ruined it honestly the story of anthem and his development at the constantly falling Bioware is too long intricate and numerous to sum up in a simple top 10 video I recommend reading all the articles that came out about it read about how they didn't have working prototypes weeks before presentations read about how they didn't even know what the game was going to be until about eighteen months before it came out read about how a CEO at EA forced them to implement certain features it's fascinating like how can a games development go this wrong rest in peace Bioware that'll be all once new anthem proves they're gone forever [Music] I realize this one seems like an easy target at this point but there's a reason why I'm not putting it higher for as bad glitchy awful unfinished and unbearable it is to play it got to admit this craps funny WWE 2k 20 is yet another awful wrestling game in the long-running series at this point there's an expectation of these games being unpolished pieces of absolute garbage but God damned if I don't get a good laugh out of this I'm not even a wrestling fan by any means and let's face it they haven't made a wrestling game as good as WWE no mercy on the n64 ever since aside from the boring glitch tastic wrestling gameplay it's the story mode that's so laughable that it reaches so bad it's good territory and months after its release the whole game has not been updated in a way enough to get it into a non broken buggy mess these animations are cartoonish and all physics go out the window man don't fire this game but like if you could play it for free from some idiot friend who paid money for this you should totally do it if you manage to get it to play at all that is because the game crashes like all the time how do you make a game that has a billion recognizable anime icon sucked so bad it's like they thought all they needed to make a fun fighting game was just a crap ton of obnoxious motion blur in as many particle effects as they can jump force is basically a worse version of Dragon Ball xenoverse which came off before this game and also has DBZ characters in it only in jump force everyone looks like plastic figurines but moister it's uncomfortable to look into their soulless faces and stiff animations and way too many cutscenes even if they are on their way to storm into area 51 I think I'd rather just take literal action figures and slap them together and I would have more fun it's one of those fighting games where while there's a lot of characters there's very little difference between any of them and every Special Attack is essentially a variation of another and is difficult to call it a worthwhile fighting game that has such poor hit detection super armor and uninterruptible animations so fights become spam fests and a camera that whips around so constantly on top of the motion blur means you can't even comprehend the spectacle before you it hurts to look at well hey at least there's a character creator so you can make your own fighter and oh Lord what is wrong with my legs they're breaking off to help give you an idea of how weak twenty nineteen was for games this was in the running for best fighting game you know maybe I just need to change my outfit in oh alright never mind game killed itself Blair Witch the game is as much wasted potential as Blair Witch the movie and all of its sequels combined another one of those walking simulator types of games but with more to it like having to use your flashlight to defend yourself against creatures of the Knights stealth mechanics and a good boy and you can pet them so seeing that you get excited a horror game with a dog sounds rad it's not at all everything you're taught to do is a punishment later in the game those monsters you killed their flashlights don't do that don't defend yourself idiot do not destroy the stick figures that mess up your vision while you're at it and feels like they tried to set up a gotcha moment with the ending providing a twist that's supposed to surprise you I didn't feel surprised I felt ripped off since everything the game told me to do is actually wrong cool man you sure got me plus you can see the ending coming a mile away crawling across the ground with two broken legs and stumpy arms reaching a non-existent hand toward you in a plea as if it were begging please faster please please think I'm clever it isn't I'm just I'll even just pile it for you because you're not you're not gonna play it it was you you were the bad man the whole time whoa which in this case was true because I was the dumb idiot who bought and played this game [Applause] eternity The Last Unicorn is generic generic fantasy in a generic action RPG that isn't what makes it bad that's what makes it boring what makes it bad is that it's in 2019 game that plays like a ps2 game from 2003 the graphics alone are uninspired enough with blank soulless tears on every character lighting that doesn't seem quite right or unimaginative enemy and area designs the detect fixed camera angle that makes it feel instantly dated by over a decade remember these kinds of games whereas you're running for the camera angle suddenly shifts in the direction you're pressing the under control stick suddenly doesn't make sense to where you're running that's the whole game paired with a stiff run animation or dodge shuffling it gets worse but in combat as it'll abruptly show you something that you don't care about in the middle of trying to hit something nothing about racking stuff with your sword is satisfying either you have the typical weak and strong attacks but I've never seen a weak attack be so literal in a video game before it's so worthless to use to the point that you ignore that button on your controller entirely not that the strong swing does much better either as some enemies like the bosses end up being such damage sponges that fights take forever and the hit detection is visibly bad this game also has crafting why not which whatever it means you stiffly pick up garbage after you kill every enemy to fill your pockets with trash but you need to craft to create key progression items and even worse you can fail the crafting meaning you have to grind enemies to get what you need again in an already uninspired and unfun combat system eternity is by no means the most offensively bad game that came out this year but it's normal in that it was doomed to fail it was designed to be outdated but also a poor imitation of those older style games there was an art to making those restrictive camera angles work with providing the player of the information needed to play and this ain't it [Music] I can't even begin to describe how oddly this game is what you see is what you get there is no weird compression here contra rogue court literally looks like it runs in 540 P or like a mobile game that was improperly up scaled for current gen consoles character models are ugly cross-eyed and every attempt at explosions is weak do you remember when Konami first teased this game I do it was III 2011 11 it took them eight years to come out with this it's hard to screw up the contra formula but goddamn it Konami did it never think they won't let you down again all you had to do was make it so you run jump and shoot dudes instead they made it into a twin stick shooter with awkward aiming and even worse while aiming their movement slows to a crawl that fast paced action contra has always been known for suddenly falls flat this game feels like was made by 13 year olds it's the embodiment of trying too hard awful animations swearing for the sake of swearing and just crammed G one-liners levels dragged on like you wouldn't believe and bosses take way too long to kill even when they're not glitching out and getting stuck into her corner becoming unsuitable now remember this costs $30 for only $20 you can get the anniversary collection that has contra won three hardcore and the arcade game which is such a better deal than this piece of [ __ ] and because Konami can't help but be Konami this game has DLC for costumes but you can only get the costumes if you buy what else the season pass did you know that if you put in the classic Konami code up up down down left right left right B a start you unlock an apology hey Square Enix imagine my surprise seeing you here again at least this is no quiet man atrocity this is left alive a game that takes place in of all things the front mission universe the first game in the front mission franchise in about nine years and that's a series that's all about giant robots shootin and tactical RPG gameplay left alive is a stealth game but it's a stealth game that doesn't have stealth mechanics sneak up on a guy and want to silently take him down with a melee grab not all you can do is beat this job I'm hope no one notices and then shove a crowbar up his butthole the game is unbearably obnoxious as moving towards enemies causes the game to warn you with caution the enemy is approaching every single time caution the enemy is approaching every single enemy even if you've already seen them caution the enemy is approaching movement is awkward is the most viable stealth thing you can do is Crouch and move making you look like it's idiot as you try to be stealthy by doing the duck walk cool huh and don't forget you're trying to be stealthy and universe that has giant robots that will see you and kill you in three shots Metal Gear Solid this is not you'd be forgiven for expecting something like that though since the artist who did the covers for the Metal Gear series also did the art for left alive and I think that Square knew that that would sucker people in and then sucker them out of their money which is their most proficient skillset which is the opposite of this entire game it wants to be a stealth game but includes a bunch of third person shooter elements that overcome any amount of stealth like cover shooting and crafting the moment you start shooting though you'll see just how janky the aiming is and how much worse the hit detection for bullets are and if the bullet somehow do manage to land enemies are such sponges that you'll feel so stupid for expending magazine after magazine after magazine to kill one guy I think the most depressing part about this is knowing that this game isn't going to do well and squares going to take that as meaning that people don't care about front mission anymore which is not true Square it may people don't care about bad ideas with forced executions which I guess would mean people don't care about most Square Enix games anymore left alive was a horrendous disappointment and still managed to fly under most people's radar but for those of us that saw we easily know that it's the worst game of 2019 butchered what about the top 10 best games in 2019 I tried I couldn't come up with 10 I forced my way to that 7 and that's it probably because all the really good games of 2019 got delayed into 2020 but on the bright note that does mean 2020 is gonna start off really strong as long as you know none of those games get delayed again thank you so much for watching in case you couldn't tell I streamed myself playing most of these games so be sure to follow me over at twitch.tv slash Proterra to watch me play these things live you had to see me working on upcoming progeria videos and if you like this video subscribe here
