Rise of Kong's Platinum Is SO BAD It's Almost UNPLAYABLE

In todays video, I attempt to platinum Skull Island: Rise of Kong 🏆
This game has received massive backlash and is currently fighting for the number 1 spot as the worst game of the year. In my opinion, Gollum is slightly better but they're both games that shouldn't have released in this condition or priced at such a high point

Honestly the biggest offence of this game isn't even the awful level design or boring combat or anything like that. The biggest offence is that they dared to make a freaking king kong game and then make him like 2 meters tall and not like 200!

@FlamesAnimations 8 ай бұрын

Honestly i think he might be pretty tall, its the perspective. Not defending the game by any means but everything on skull island is big so in perspective he looks small!

@InZiDes 8 ай бұрын

Obviously it's King Kong. But it doesn't say King Kong anywhere. It's called Skull Island: Rise of Kong. Kong is the name of the species of monkeys. And it just says that we are a young monkey.

@christiancinnabars1402 7 ай бұрын

@InZiDes The main Kong in the game is already the same size as his parents the moment he becomes playable, and you can see him dwarfing the human skeletons you see in the spider area. He is 100% adult sized. Him looking so small is the fault of perspective. They zoom the camera _way_ out and have him be dwarfed by all the trees in the environment. Like, the tallest trees you see in the game _have_ to be nearing 600+ feet tall for no reason. I get making the enemy bosses large to have them be more intimidating, but what do you achieve from making the _plants_ that big?

One big flaw with this game that I don't see many people talking about [he said in a video where the top comment talks about it] is that if I'm playing as Kong, I want to feel like I'm controlling a massive behemoth, not an average sized silverback gorilla. I want to swing around trees that are smaller than I am, maybe be able to uproot one and use it like a club. I want one my few advantages over a boss to be my massive size. I want to be the biggest goddamn thing in the jungle.

@scottdixon2505 8 ай бұрын

I think that's exactly what it was. They were only given a year to make it so this was probably the proof of concept and the publisher was just like 'nah that's fine, publish it'

I also liked FNAF Ruin and Cassette Beasts, and Mario Wonder is fun as hell. I saw another video on Kong, though, and if this was an indie dev or very, very small team I'd have more sympathy but it seems like it isn't that disadvantaged and looks pretty rough ngl. Granted, it's always the rushing from the higher ups that don't understand patience or anything about programming whatsoever that call the shots. It's hilarious though because unpolished things are funny to me. The bare bones part looks unfun to play, though, despite how funny it is to watch this game implode on itself. Not seeing yourself on a map is also a putrid flaw that even the most basic of higher ups should know by now is elementary for a game and should be allowed to be completed even if they are trying to crap out a game that's unfinished as this.
