It’s funny how the first half was ASMR and the second was unhinged.

*Sees title* Oh this gonna be goooooood!!!

Richie Inkwell

This video was hysterical dude! I love it!

This was a great video Johnny. Easily one of your best when it comes to humor, you're getting funnier and funnier with the writing with each video. Also I have to say when you were talking about Metroidvania's I couldn't help but pop the hell off seeing Record of Lodoss War: Deedlit in the Wonder Labyrinth because that's a great game but I do need to mention if you're going to cover that game check out the 13 episode OVA from the early 90's. Lodoss War was to D&D 1st edition what Critical Role is for D&D today and is a true gem of a series.

As soon as you whipped out the Yu-Gi-Oh cards, it clicked for me Now more than ever, I'm convinced you could do wonders as an ASMRtist.

I don't know why, but I got some serious Scott the Woz vibes from Johnny in this one, to the point where I almost wonder if that was intentional.

We love you Johnny :)

Dom Petretta

The only good thing about this game was...I don't know...Tremor maybe?

Johnny, I know this was an incredibly frustrating video to make, but you did a great job channeling the creative frustration into an entertaining video. I really enjoyed the non-traditional structure. Here’s looking forward to better games and easier times

Man you know it's bad when a grilled cheese is more interesting than this game

Infielder Seth

Glad to see you back man! Seeing you at Momocon was fun, getting to talk to you and Ted was really nice. I hope your next videos are more fun to produce, though I could tell you definitely found your footing with the script as it went on. Can’t wait to watch the future videos and the new SGB content!

Son Gohan

Look on the bright side, you got it over with.

SonicMania2099

lol! I feel bad for Johnny for this mess. Though I'm glad he's doing another indie showcase, and hoping he'll look at some of the games I'd played, though I'm also hoping he'll look at Sly Cooper this year too

SuperSonic 28

Great job on the video Johnny I really enjoyed it. I hope you are doing well

Mediocre Panda

This makes me think of the way Ride to Hell Retribution made me feel. Fantastic review

Andres Tapia

That last bit about enjoying the good things in life got to me a bit :)

MegaHiro91

Who ever said you need to understand music to enjoy it? I mean sure the lyrics are lost on you (if they have any substantial meaning at all) but sometimes the music itself and the flow of sound of the lyrics is all you need to appreciate it. I mean heck, at lot of the music I heard as a child was in English way before I understood English. It just sounded good!

Kayas

You really worked to make that script interesting for this nothingburger of a game lmfao. Hopefully the next project scratches that itch, looking forward to it as usual

Jake

might be one of you funniest reviews in awhile. the game that finally broke you was fucking Special Forces lol

Bruvlodski

Bro that apron goes hard as fuck.

Raph

Dude the first half of the video had me crying

Paper

I hadn’t even heard of this game before this video, and uh.. I’m glad I didn’t miss out on much. Absolutely wonderful video as always, the bits and cutaways killed me.

Hank Foreman

On one hand, I’m happy to laugh at a game that’s already on your most hated list (right up there with Ecco the Dolphin, Ghosts & Goblins, Superman 64, and Big Rigs)! But on the other hand, I’m sorry to hear that this game left you with serious depression. I wish you all the best of luck with your recovery.

david alicea

So Johnny you ok now? I know that most of video was in a joking way but still I hope you are doing better now. I hope whatever you have planned on it will be great and that we all can enjoy you talking about something you love or hate who knows what the future has in store. In all seriousness I am glad that this is done with at least this video.

IanBough

The only thing I have ever heard about Special Forces is that it is the game Tremor comes from, and even then he wouldn't become a proper character until MKX dlc.

Kingdom850

Yeah no despite his suffering, he still made this a very entertaining video to watch in the end. It was great!

Sebastian Cintron

The fact you got more out of Devil May Cry 2, says more about this game than anything else.

Steve Hedge

Fishing and making a sandwich clearly the best special forces review ever

Lone Otaku

I wasn’t expecting much from a Mortal Kombat Special Forces video. But a Twilight Zone-esque case-study of a man’s descent into madness probably(?) wasn’t one of those things. Calling it “one of the video games of all time” is a disservice to mediocrity.

Hawkwing2652

I don't think I've had so much whiplash watching a video of yours before. The change at the 9 and 15 minute marks legitimately caught me off guard. I'm not complaining; you got me to laugh at an otherwise nothing burger of a game. Consider that an accomplishment.

Tro

I like we have this video and Johnny vs the meaning of life. Meaning Johnny has been tested by god at least twice

Yuma Crafter

I have felt this exact energy for another game before. A game that's just so much Nothing that it makes you appreciate what other games have all the more. I also understand the "depression kicking my a$$" sentiment, as that's what I've been dealing with as of late. Good on you for trying to get past it, as it can be difficult to get yourself out of that rut.

Beagle boy

It's a masterpiece of a video

Ross from Command Prompt Gaming

Hell yeah, dude. No teflon poisoning please🙏.

Juan Ortiz

It never touched the pan, just the butta.

Ross from Command Prompt Gaming

John, did I just see you using a metal spoon on a non-stick pan....?

GameBearAdvance(Benji)

Wow this game really was nothing! Amazing video! 🤣 Looking forward to seeing you do some indie reviews again! Not sure if they're considered Indie. But hope ya check out the Ori games! Have a great day Johnny! 😁

Liam

I love the video

Swavo XIII

Nothing like FFX music to bring the lowmey dread of nothingburger video games. The conematic shots were amazing though, I seriously am amazed how much you got out of such a void of a game for a video!

Jesus Mancio

Man I didn't think I'd be watching a game break a man as badly as this one broke ya. Great video John. Hoping whatever the next game you do will leave ya in a better mood than this nothing of a game left you.

Retro64

Woah, this one's a trip. In all seriousness Johnny, get some rest after this. Keep those positive vibes up!

Rodolfo Zorrilla-Rivera

Bro what the hell was happening. I thought I was in the twilight zone with this man. Also at the 15:37 mans roasted everybody who’s too lazy to switch clothes lol I’m dead.
