Remember those Burger King Xbox 360 games? Those. And just because they were memes, cheap, but then we started getting into them! We were playing I think it was Sneak King (I just now realized it’s called that 'cause “sneaking” 🤦🏼♀️) and we were 3 hours into it, it was 1am or something, my friend had work later and had to drive home, but we were determined… Almost want to buy them again.
Yep! I have Big Bumpin’ in my collection, got it for free after I was specifically requesting a retro game shop owner if he had any of the three Burger King games in stock. He was actually surprised that someone was actually looking for these games, and he opened a drawer, and handed me a copy of Big Bumpin’. Dude threw it in as a bonus game and only made us pay for Watch Dogs: Legion. He was the nicest and coolest retro shop owner I have ever met. A few months before he gave me that for free, he gave my sister some free PlayStation headphones and stated that he wasn’t sure if they were working or not. And guess what? It worked. Flawlessly.
Dude is still around, still kicking ass at that retro game store even to this day.
I envy this, our retro shop closed.
Dang dude that sucks. =(
I have gifted Sex With Hitler 2 on many occasions. The ‘2’ is the funniest part to me.
The full name is hilarious to begin with, but the “2” really sells the punchline
It’s established at that point, what can you do?
Is it as good as the first one?
I truly have no idea, but likely.
Will I be totally lost if I haven’t played Sex With Hitler 1 first?
I really don’t know, never played, but I assume it’d be just fine
I made Diarrhea 4 as a joke. Does that count?
I bought and played many a bad game but never as a joke.
Hentai vs Furries on Steam. Exquisite game with deep lore and a narrative rich with turns and twists at every corner. 11/10 powers of friendships
Well, that’s a heck of a title… 😳
Didn’t buy it perse but Chex Quest.
Oh my God I actually played that!!! A weird kid-friendly version of DOOM that actually was pretty damn solid and had an actual interesting story for a kids game. It wasn’t like Pepsiman, where the entire game was littered with Pepsi advertisements, it was an advergame that had an actual story about aliens threatening Chex and Earth. Thank you for reminding me of this. =)
And don’t forget Cool Spot, the 7UP game for SNES!
Maybe not quite the answer to the question you asked, but I have a relevant story.
My very favorite YouTuber is named “Any Austin”. (Just stay with me here.) And he has a show called “VG Wham” in which he goes to some e-store for video games (the Switch eStore, the PlayStation e-store, Steam, whatever) and purchases a game priced $2 or under and plays/reviews it.
Fully expecting it to be terrible, mind you. He does honestly review the games and gives his thoughts about them, but it’s still mostly comedy content. Not generally the sort of show you’d watch to find good games to potentially buy and enjoy.
But one game in particular he clearly loved was “Radiation Island” by a studio called “Atypical Games.” The episode of VG Wham in question is here. But he loved this particular game so much he streamed a full playthrough that itself is a masterpiece. And throughout he constantly flip flops from deriding it ot praising it to praising it ironically. It’s like nothing else I’ve ever seen.
And the game itself makes zero sense, it’s absolute purchased assets trash, kindof minimum viable product as a game, really just churned out in about 5 minutes for a buck. And it’s evident from Any Austin’s stream.
I rewatched that stream just recently and decided to go ahead and purchase the game. I’d seen it played, but didn’t really know what it would be like to play it myself. I really didn’t know whether it was going to be crap or awesome.
If anyone else picks it up, I highly recommend the hardest difficulty.
I haven’t yet played the sequel “Radiation City.” Any Austin streamed it, but didn’t like it as much. I bought a copy and intend to play it at some point, but I haven’t started it yet.
Fps chess - not bad really, the mechanics are but thats part of the charm
Muck - made for a game jam, fun with friends
Retail royale - ikea themed battle royale, no more than 12 players online typically
The looker - satire game based on the watcher
Leaf blower revolution - cookie clicker style idle game with more engaging mechanics. Not bad really but a time waster fs
Unturned - just a classic but still silly
Lunch lady - group survival horror game, played it once, not great
Pearphone.io - fps game where you play as a pear shaped phone with a pear logo, no comment
Peasant royale - self explanatory I think
Rust
Pearphone.io - fps game where you play as a pear shaped phone with a pear logo, no comment
I was wondering if that was based off of the fictional phone in iCarly, and I was correct. Also, it is allegedly malware/a Bitcoin miner according to some Steam reviews, but this is unverifiable.
Honestly I wouldn’t be shocked about it being malware lmao. I dont think I have ever ran it tho tbh
The Looker is based on The Witness not the Watcher, and its fucking hilarious
My bad lol I never played the game it was making fun of but it WAS funny
Maybe not the same thing as FPS chess, but a great chess rougelike with guns is https://store.steampowered.com/app/1972440/Shotgun_King_The_Final_Checkmate/
This is amazing and now on my wishlist
Goat simulator. Which as we now know is pretty fun.
I vibe with you. I frickin’ LOVE Goat Simulator! Just a hell of a fun game where you can cause as much chaos as you please as a goat. I have played the original and every one of its DLC packs, and I pre-ordered Goat Simulator 3 as well, and I am gonna be picking up the Multiverse of Nonsense DLC at a later point. An all-time favorite game series of mine.
Currently waiting for the Re-Maa-ster of Goat Simulator 2… (ba dum tsss) 😂😂😂
This guy goats.
I bought BioFreaks for PS1 because it looked fun. I knew it would be janky and have weird physics, but it’s also got a weird dystopian story too!
To be fair, I was 8 or 9 at the time, but it’s an entertaining piece of shit, like Pitball (also for PS1).
Goose simulator.
My kids’ favorite game after pikuniku and before Bugsnax.
Now, this one may surprise you, but I recently bought Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League as a joke. And no, I did not pay $70 for the game. In fact, I bought it for a far more cheaper price on CDKeys since they were having a huge sale for North American/European game keys. Was on sale for roughly $16, a huge steal in my eyes. Like bro, $70 USD for this game? Yeah, no, I’m not paying that much if this game is in this state. Capped it only because I wanted to get it to laugh at it. I originally was planning to get it through the free Prime Gaming offer, but through past complications with Amazon charging us even after repeatedly cancelling our Prime subscription, I went against getting a free trial for Amazon Prime and we just ended up buying a digital Steam key.
I have been loving the game, in a very ironic way. I’m serious. I only bought the game to see how bad it truly was and to laugh at the game’s bad design choices (mostly the lackluster story). I just wanted the game for shits and giggles, nothing serious. I only like the game because of how goddamn bad it is. Literally wanted to laugh out loud while I was playing through the first 2 hours. It’s so bad, but hilariously bad. The story doesn’t make sence, either - why was the Suicide Squad recruited by a literal FBI agent? I get that it’s about the Justice League becoming evil and all, but it still doesn’t make any sense to me.
Needless to say, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is a guilty pleasure of mine. Because I like laughing at it.
EXTRA NOTE: In short, save your money until there’s a huge sale or another free offer. God save Rocksteady.
I am so sad this was Kevin Conroy’s final time voicing Batman. The man deserved to go out on a high note.
Yeah, I agree. It is extremely disappointing to know that this was Kevin Conroy’s farewell. His swan song. The man deserved to have a much better end to his career. Heck, even Orson Welles had a much better one when Netflix dropped his unreleased movie “The Other Side of the Wind”. Kevin Conroy deserved to go out with a bang. Not a mere whimper.
The game’s concept was good but the execution of it was terrible in so many departments.
It’s another one of those “great concept with bad execution” examples.
Also, of COURSE I got Garfield Kart: Furious Racing. My Steam library truly didn’t feel complete until I got gifted the game.
I only wanted the game as a joke, not for any serious reasons. But dang, it’s actually a fun time-waster.
I’ve bought that game quite some time ago as a meme
The devs behind it appearently started hosting contests for it so joined them for the heck of it.
Sharknado VR. Got it on sale for half a dollar. Not bad for the price. It was about what I expected and with a playtime of about 30 minutes it didn’t have the time to get stale.
BTW check out this playlist (and the rest of the channel too)
GO GO GO GO GOGOGO
RUN AWAY FROM THE SHARKNADO
IT’S YOUR GREATEST FOE FOE FOE
DON’T WANNA GET EATEN BY THE SHARKNADO
BY AIR, BY LAND, BY SEA
I SEE THAT SHARKNADO COMIN’ FOR ME
I CAN’T RUN, I CAN’T HIDE
I JUST DON’T WANNA DIE
SHARKNADO!
Bad rats show is still a personal favourite of mine to gift on steam.
Redneck Rampage. Hot damn!
Oh damn, I forgot about this game. Actually played it multiplayer back in the day. I think it gave me a headache so quickly.
Ok wtf that’s seriously up there with Shadow of the Colossus, hold on to yer butt!
I bought Ace of Seafood, in which you can play as many kinds of fish that all shoot lasers out or their mouths at other fish.
It’s absolutely baffling but probably not how you’d expect… I found it pretty technical and demanding. It’s like a very serious game where you fly F16s and dogfight and destroy aircraft carriers except everything is fish. It’s Japanese to the max.
I paid about £6 for it on the Switch, did not play it enough to get my moneysworth. But I think once you hear the concept, you will never stop thinking about it until you try it, so I was glad to be able to stop thinking about it.
