that bit at the beginning where he tests out putting his shotgun in the anti gravity field is legitimately one of the most humanizing things I've ever seen a generic war shooter do for its characters

oboe is satisfying my mild curiosity as a kid with no money staring at video game shelves in 2008.

I played it blind and that final twist made it worth it. The game was fun.

"Guys we got to make a shooter everyone will love, what can we take notes from" "Gamers like Gears, Dead Space, Quake, Doom..." "GREAT, make that!" "But, what one?" "Yeah, exactly"

Watching oboe play a mediocre or terrible game and listening to him make fun of it with his deadpan delivery never ceases to make my day better

God the ending in this game is by far the most saddening thing as a kid

For all the crap Gears of War gets for being grey and brown, it genuinely has a distinct visual style. Like any Gears character is clearly a Gears character.

Starting your game with a turret section is pretty ballsy move. Like, you probably know that this would alienate 80% of auditory by virtue of it's sheer boredness, but you're a chad and you don't care.

Oh damn! This takes me back, to when I was in high school. Depressed, working a shitty job spending my money on shitty games. Love it.

Shit, the ground is shakin

I played this game and it glitched out to where I could fly around infinitely and could fly through walls

2:36 was fucking hilarious. I thought it would be like a cliff edge.

"Shit, the ground is shaking"

I like how the bad guys are sophisticated enough to create simulated environments for humanity without anyone noticing, but they are also just shirtless dudes with bayonets on their rifles

Not gonna lie, i like this 7 out of 10 mid xbox 360 era grey shooters videos. It somehow give nostalgia

Ya know what was a fun 3rd person shooter that may or may not have aged terribly (I can't say because I haven't played it in ages)? *Fracture* . Oboe should play and make a video on Fracture sometime.

Mom can we get Gears of War? No honey we have Gears of War at home Gears of War at home:

Interesting game. I don't think I've heard of this, but maybe I just don't remember.

One thing about this game is the absolutely amazing plot reveal and then twist at the end. Sure gameplay is Gears copy paste but I think it's worth it

the plot twist that it takes place on a space ship blew my mind back in the day i never saw it coming. its one twist i remember to this day.

*dead wife any percent speed run*

Shit, ground is shakin

inversion was a solid game back in the day yo

Such destructible environments, much wow.

To be fair, Inversion looks and plays really great in today's bad games standards, it would be a really good one if it doesn't just copies shit from all other games and mash it into one. That plot twist in the end is also really good too despite the cutscenes just cutting off and teleporting characters to places they weren't there before.

That star wars joke was on point.

My boy better be playing some Battle: Los Angeles and a fresh Timeshift soon

damn i remember watching Jerma play this a long time ago when he did youtube and the only thing i remember from the game is “SHIT! THE GROUND IS SHAKIN’”

Would've been interesting to learn more about the ship they were on and who built it. Shame the PC port is shite.

I hope you continue to play more games that I never, for the life of me, heard of before

Played this game as a young kid and still hated it, thats not a good sign lol

I don't care what people say , I always loved and will love this game , it was so cool , it could run on my shitty desktop at max res with high framerate

I like that little twist at the end quite a bit.

"this may be the intended gameplay loop i'm not sure" Oh LMAO got me with this one

0:50 - my brain automatically filled in the background vocals singing “brighten up your daa-aaay.”

man, i can't believe child was dead all along. i truly didn't see that coming. i truly didn't already know about this mess of a game.

Jeez, the amount of similarities I've been seeing is almost criminal.

7th gen will be our version of 70s graindhouse B-movie films.

glad ur back. your humor is unmatched

Glad I watched this and am now finally ready for the true power of gravity

Nice starting pun Oboe

5:50 love how without context and if you asdta bit more of drama in his tone, " Oh my go. Children" gets another twist

Even the UI looks like Gears

0:00 Ben Quadinaros. I understood that reference.

You should try a game called -Rupture (I think is the name),- its actually called Fracture. Its a 2000s 3rd person shooter, the main gimmick is you can raise/lower the terrain. Maybe because I was a child but I recall the shooting range being like, the most fun part of the game.

The more oboeshoes plays these games the more will turn into Handsome Jack

Not mentioned but there is something insanely funny about a guy in a T-shirt just immediately eating several dozen shots to the torso from a future gun and having no reaction

The ground is shaking.

I loved the multiplayer scene

When I was first playing this game, it felt so much like Gears of war that I was actively tapping the reload button.

"Like gears of war if gears of war wasn't very good" So gears of war then

Oboe makes games like this enjoyable to watch He is losing braincells for us, and oh boy am I grateful

Hope he plays Binary Domain for how crazy it is. Super fond memories of it as a kid

It's that one game where that guy says "Shit! The ground is shaking! Shit! The ground is shaking!"

I thought the gears of wars series already did that to itself.

Woah the multiplayer in inversion looked like if you were playing gears of war 3 and using the character Minh but if he let himself go.

"Why i dont have a chainsaw" -The game

This game looks way more fun than say something like The Order 1886.

It's fun to see you play the game Yathzee tore apart 7 years ago.

i just realized saber interactive is involved with this

THE SNEAD SBEAK TUNE IN NEXT WEEK WHER THE BREAD SQUEAK

Predicting Fracture as the next game uploaded on this channel

I knew I wasn’t the only one that felt this was Gears inspired.

First there were CoD clones. Then there were GoW clones.

"This is a purgatory game"

Shit! The ground is shakin!

For a while I ligitemently thought this was a gears of war game that coalition made that just went very very wrong

Holy shit, this game. I didn't think anyone else knew about this one lol. Fun game i knocked out in a single day but i never heard anyone else talk about it.

Pretty good twist ngl

Thank you for the gold man.

1:27 that “stop” sounded genuinely annoyed

I remember Freddy Wong, or someone else, doing a promo skit for this game

*they came back in time to eat all our food

Me wearing a red t-shirt while watching this: The guy breaking into my house must be the protagonist. Guess I’ll die now.

Now we need to get a Gears 4, 5 and dont forget Gears Funko Pop the game!

Half-dead-gear-space Grey edition

This game was actually very fun on the Xbox 360, played it for hours with my best friend

The video game Inversion is a literal god damn episode of Rick and Morty.

"we have gears of war at home"

'O-oh shit! The ground is shaking!'

The dead speak!

A purgatory game 👌🏽😂

That turret has the same crosshair as Battle Los Angeles

0:57 the guy looks like Rais from dying light

Funny you mention the absurdity of fighting robots in a gears game

The game we all ignored at Blockbuster

This guy from multiplayer looks like Vin Diesel but from back

If you haven’t done the Terminator Salvation game yet please do I forgot it existed until I saw this video

I played this one like 10 or so years ago, and randomly remember its name today I don't remember if I enjoyed it, but I must have, since I played it to the end

Yooooo! It’s the “shit the ground is shaking” game!

What a twist

I remember this one. For some weird reason, because I never played it...

I wonder if gaming execs look at concept art, purse their lips, and say, 'Not enough grey'.

Just got a legit add for gollum on this video. I'll be purchasing it without a counsel because the reviews were so good

More MP action please it's addictive.

Yo Oboe, you think Inversion is a bad Gears of War knock off? Try playing Mindjack or Quantum Theory for Xbox 360 or PS3. If you want a good Gears knock off? Play Binary Domain. It's available on Steam and backwards compatible on Xbox One X and Xbox Series X.

Penguin did the PS4 Clone of Gears called Gene Rain

Human stop sign in the hell world xD xD

I actually loved this game when I was 10

I always like games like this those one and done games
