Sometimes games don’t do very well. Sometimes they do so badly they sink the company that made them. Here are some examples of the latter…!

No, even with Re-Reckoning out, Ellen is still not over the whole Kingdoms of Amalur thing… THERE WAS A NEARLY FINISHED MMO, PEOPLE, NO STOP DRAGGING ME AWAY FROM THE KEYBOA-
The list doesn’t even include the tragedy of Clover Studios. They released Okami, often considered one of the best games ever, and God Hand, a cult classic that’s very expensive these days, in the same year and immediately went out of business because neither of those games sold well in 2006.
Amalur was quite good. My favorite thing was that I got to beat the final area and final boss wearing only gloves, boots, and some jewelry because I optimized my build for health regen.
I too loved Amalur. 😭
I loved KoA! I was even one of the few people who ended up with the Reckoner Knight Armor and Chakram Launcher legit in Mass Effect 3, which was only possible by playing and beating the KoA demo!
The only real problem i had with the original PS3 version (the only version i could realisticly play), was that it tended to crash a lot, and even with online saves it was possible for your savefile to be corrupted, meaning you could be forced to start the entire game from scratch…
Didn't stop me from loving the game, and i also got Re Reckoning on PS4, 100% it in less than a week during lockdown!
I'm just gonna guess that Cyberpunk has to be in there, somewhere, maybe even in 1rst place.
Too human was such a fun game it broke my heart when I found out about the lawsuit.
Not gonna lie, I played Reckoning and absolutely LOVED it. It was an amazing game in my opinion 👌
I also found Kingdoms of amalur Reckoning was fun not great but I didn't think it was half bad
At least there is now some hope for KOA
I remember getting really hyped for Haze. I loved Timesplitters and I got caught up in the hype and didn’t read the reviews when it came out. Needless to say I bought it day one and it was SO disappointing. The only bit I liked was when you stopped taking the drug and you suddenly saw the world for what it actually looked like, but that was it. Everything else was generic crap.
Kingdoms of amalur really is such an under rated game… Its a shame it got released while skyrim was still hot… So skyrim got all the press, while KoA got put on the wayside
Is every Outside Xtra video going to have KoA in until Luke returns? Not complaining. I played it because of Ellen and loved it (except the spiders obvs).
I hit the thumbs up just for Mike's long walk to that "blank slate" punch line.
Kingdoms of Amalur is a good game
Too Human isn't as bad as everyone says.
Titanfall 1, anyone lol 😂
Im with you on reckoning.
I'm with Ellen. KoA was/is a great game.
Haze was actually pretty fun. Not the multiplayer, or the plot, or the characters… but some of the mechanics were at least interesting. It played similarly to the original Killzone.
Leave Rockstar alone. Nobody needs a gta 10.
I think Okami should be on this list. Though it would become a massive hit later down the line, it didn't sell well enough in tbe beginning to save Clover
This chanell is worse than watch mojo jo jo
I would love to play more Amalur, honestly, I had loads of fun.
I figured that everyone would have forgotten, by now, about how Sierra Sports was destroyed by the 1998 release of its Front Page Sports Football series. It was a fantastic series until that year, when a complete redesign was fraught with so many bugs that it was deemed unplayable. The company recalled the game, couldn’t fix the issues, and eventually was shut down. That game series was my KoA.
I played KoA, and if it's any more pain on your soul, I went straight for the Universalist destiny.
On both the PS3 and PS4
Yeah, I loved it for what it was, and all the obscene amounts of elements that I loaded onto trolls
I loved KoA: R, but I could NOT get into Skyrim. I hate STAMINA BARS
Amalur is so tragic even with the rereckoning its like I'm nostalgic for a franchise that never came to be. It was so almost great.
And there it is, kingdoms of amalur talk
Have you ever heard the tragedy of kingdoms of amalur? Yeah, so has everyone else here
Moral of the story is no one out epics the game
I loved kingdoms. What wish it had time to really hit its stride
Amalur shall live on through the Reckoner Knight Armor in Mass Effect 3 (my favorite armor set in the game)
GTAV was a PS3 game!
I tried to play Kingdoms of Amalur like 3 different times, but the same thing killed it for me: you can't jump. I didn't appreciate how something as simple as jumping could impact a game like this.
Nice list, though you missed a game or two. Off the top of my head there is Heroes of Might and Magic IV which pretty much sank 3DO.
Koa breaks my heart because it was such an amazing game that probably could have done much better with better advertising and a different release date.
I enjoyed the concept of Kingdom of Amalar my biggest issue with it was the lack of challenege before even getting half way through the game i was max level and overpowered. From internet forums that in general was a big issue and it killed repeatability
Freakin love KoA.
Well if people keep buying GTA5. GTA6 will take it sweet time
kingdoms of amalur is the best rpg around. Yes skyrim was a heavy contender however the depth of amalurs systems were amazing, the detail and intricacies of developing your character were and still are the best in my opinion. Amalur deserved a much better life than it has had and I hope dearly to see what comes next for the game and its series that was supposed to follow
Well, NCSoft is def in the wrong for pretending he resigned, but you can tell who fucked up the game and lost tremendous money for NCSoft considering the work after.
F
(tears for Ellen)
i remember ubisoft tried to market HAZE as a "halo -killer" and over hyped it. forcing crunchtime and publishing a unpolished game? sounds like them. im still pissed about it.
metal arms glitch in the system amazing game bad marketing
Is there Cyberpunk in the video?
I WAS happy about that Tabula Rasa free month, thank you.
Poor Ellen
Is it that hard to not just regurgitate every opinion word for word over specific games etc that get mentioned. I literally could have guessed word for word everything that was said about haze because it's all handpicked words that already on the internet
