It was the weight and motion. Monster hunter managed to make small looks big and heavy, and big things looks absolutely enormous. It's because the environment respond to monsters. The environment is WEAK. Show it! In this game, you're a giant ape that somehow at the mercy of environment instead. What a chod.

Fun fact: That dinosaur on the loading screen for a moment (I don't know if it shows up later because I haven't played it and I haven't watched that far into the video yet) is basically *directly* ripped from an unused concept for Jurassic World. For those who don't know, Jurassic World (then called Jurassic Park IV) was originally going to feature a fictional newly discovered dinosaur called the Malusaurus as the main dinosaur antagonist before it was replaced with the hybrid dinosaur Indominus Rex, and it's essentially a one-to-one match. The nose crest, small sail with spikes on the top and sides, long arms, quills on the neck, it's all there. Even the patterning is similar, with the stripes and red on the head. I guess Universal technically legally owns the design since they own both Jurassic World and King Kong at the moment, but come on.
@sneezydeezymcdeluxe70159 ай бұрын

For people who are curious, this game has been developped by IguanaBee, a small studio that has made about 5 games that clearly are not anywhere near what you would call "AAA" titles (more on the side of mobile games actually). And it has been published by GameMill, a publishing company that base their economic model on selling licence games for the sake of generating profit. From my understanding as a junior artist who has worked in a similar type of games studio here in France, under greedy publisher, you can be sure it's basically a command... The publisher say "hey can you make that soulless game idea about King Kong that no one asked for? Here's some money." and the studio accept because they need it to grow as a company to actually make their own passion games, then they may have about one year to finish it, with a team mostly composed of interns and people who do not always have the experience on next-gen games (working with open areas, bigger scope, ...) and they send it to the publisher, who sells it for 40 bucks, which we can all agree, is absolutely shameful and outrageous... So yeah, this side of the gaming industry really sucks, and I do hope it gets better.

There's actually a King Kong game from the early 2000s based off the Peter Jackson movie you play as Jack and Kong himself with some insane boss fights I recommend checking it out if you have a 360 or a PS2 laying around, hell even the OG xbox has a version as well.

I’m going to give skull Island this one credit, and just this one: it never once set the bar too high. As far as I know it never tried to be something that it wasn’t, and I genuinely forgot that it was happening until I started seeing people talking about how bad that it was. Compare that to Gollum where it was nothing but studio mandated hype the entire time. Game awards trailers, all kinds of previews, delay after delay just to get it right. You’d think the studio believed that Gollum could be the next metal gear. They wanted you to believe that they were giving you the next evolution in stealth games.

The thing that makes Lovecraftian horror scary is that the entities do not care about us, they just exist, and them simply existing pose harm to us.

That's a good point, how would one even make a good kong game. This a less of a defence of this trash game and more a critique of even attempting to make a kong game in the first place.

They priced it at 40$ DOLLARS 💀💀💀💀. Knowing damn well that not only is the game severely broken, lacking in mechanics, disproportionately sized from the world to King Kongs model. To the insane fact it's only 3 hours long 😂😂 There's absolutely NO WAY. There's gotta be a alternative motive like you said. Money laundering seems plausible. 1.Create half ass horrible game 2. Severely overprice the heap of burning garbage 3. Launder money through company making it seem as if all the earnings were from the overpriced game and the government is non the wiser 🤷.
