the dark lord has been defeated once and for all [Music] you did it Saku thank you I am in your debt from the onset it's been a long and difficult Journey hasn't it yes I've been waiting for this very moment faia [Music] why don't you join the Dark Lord and go straight to hell where you belong you're the real dark lord of this world and it'll be a hell of a l better without you let's go oh I finally got to beat this epic failure and I got to top it off with some Sweet Revenge
oh yeah at a time when traditional console games are considered retro fully immersive VR games have become the norm today with the exception of a small number of standout titles there lies a mountain of games whose Core Design Elements fail to live up to the high standards of nextg technology these buggy nightmares are known as trash games and while most people go out of their way to avoid terrible experiences there are a select few who actually get off on them we call these Elite trash Hunters freaks the rumors were true that was some steamy top
tier garbage this is one of those freaks his name is Rocko heat there's nothing like the sweet release of Freedom man I wonder if this is how an excon FS when they get out of prison okay what pile of trash am I diving into next otherwise known as the trash Game Hunter [Music] [Music] Shield B stay head gear trick buly I'm a h status only lock fre now this is my style playing broken games all night [Music] [Music] who's no I [Music] still go we can go to the mountain top not AF F to drop
this world is going to be mine [Music] good morning anybody [Music] home heads up mom looks like one of your butterflies got out really thanks for letting me know sweetheart sure thing got to go have a good day going anywhere this summer yeah ma' going to Hawaii in two days awesome you maku hard right on you going to their game Expo [Music] hey what's up heom what have you been doing lately I mean no not bad well what I really wanted to ask you is what game are you playing oh really that's crazy because the
truth is I've also okay [Music] he what's up Rockell hey up all night gaming again let's just say it was less gaming and more suffering through a crapfest truly the trashiest of all [Music] games summer vacation starts tomorrow that ought to drive up sales come on in well if it isn't Ry hello Miss Mana done with practice yes sorry you're out of luck he's not here today either oh it's not that I was just here to check out some games I try kiddo we've known each other too long for that to work aw what a
lucky girl what I wouldn't give to be young and in love again stop not cool as far as I know he's been pretty busy with an extra trashy game so he hasn't come in for a good while now extra trashy see the game that guy's holding that's it failure Chronicle online it may be a while before he's done oh faia I've actually heard about that one my sister couldn't stop talking about it she said it was almost too tough to play a legendary piece of hot garbage the friendly AI is mostly a joke enemy attack
patterns are impossibly hard and there's so many bugs it should have never come out of beta I've heard you practically have to be a Pro Gamer to make it past the first boss people get so frustrated with it they throw their headsets across the room but the real cherry on top is having to fight the final boss and a wrestling mask and Tiny swim trunks that's kind of weird why who knows maybe it's more efficient or you get a stat bonus or something how's your game going making progress yeah I am but it doesn't sup
mano got something new and trashy for me well hey look what the Cat Dragged In okay just like that she's gone what was that H ignore me it's nothing hang on did you already beat filia heck yeah finally took that trash to the curb how was it it was awful the hottest of all hot garbage huh I couldn't be happier for you and faia the title character was an absolute Abomination I've never been so pissed off in my entire life she is the cause of almost every problem in her world I mean it's like you
can't even move an inch without her killing a random villager or party member oh no I didn't see you you killed a guy what the hell is your and don't expect her to suffer the consequences of her action dark lord car you for these unavoidable [Music] disasters that nut job blames the final boss for every problem she has the guy's innocent it's your fault Bozo it's like that the whole game and if you get frustrated and even give her the tiniest poke I'm done and I refuse to take another step with you she'll put the
whole story on hold and then the autosave locks you in place then it takes three freaking hours to cheer her up come on just thinking about it makes me go feral I'm just impressed you decided to stick it out to the end oh but you see that's how they get you cuz in the 3 minutes between beating the final boss and watching the credits roll you're thrown into a cut scene where you get your ch chance to knock the crap out of her without any fear of Retribution like the sick irony of it all is
the more she gets on your nerves the more determined you become to break trashell just to experience those sweet 3 minutes of heaven and then when the time comes Elation washes your sorrows away and you realize your purpose has been fulfilled it sounds like it was worth it oh yeah but when you've finally beaten the Pinnacle of trash gaming what could you possibly follow that with H why don't you change it up play something that's good for once a good game I don't know what have you got to lose playing terrible games all the time
can make you appreciate the good ones and vice versa fully immersive VR 30 million players can all be wrong maybe I'll try shanga Frontier it can be fun to lose yourself in something mainstream every once in a while [Music] right the polar opposite of trash a real AAA game [Music] huh shanga Frontier which is also known ASF hit the market last spring with overwhelmingly positive reception and even set a Guinness World Record for the most concurrent players online let's see what this game's about a colony of space fairing explorers has died but they've left behind
a new generation of adventurers we jump forward a few thousand years and the players are thrust into an open world where Tech levels are roughly the same as the Medieval Era the premise seamlessly Blends sci-fi and fantasy unlike philia which was so poorly conceived it spawned a Cess pool of haters this game was so lovingly crafted that its rapid fans outnumbered the haters by the [Music] thousands Utopia Entertainment software also known as w s the company is a leader in software and Hardware development as well as a top internet service provider it was founded by
sukuyo sukuri the programming Guru who developed the VR game systems widely used today if slf was produced and developed in-house at uees there's no way it can be bad how long's it been since I played something that wasn't complete [Music] garbage I did log in right I guess the first thing to do is pick a job whoa holy crap look how many there are it's crazy a twin blade mercenary seems like it would be pretty forgiving what's my origin story Wanderer gives me a bonus to luck but I gained de defense at a slower rate
luck increases my Critical Strike chance and item drop rate so it's worth it next character design wow I can choose race and body type even start the game with accessories sheesh I've been playing trash games so long that I'm Blown Away by all these standard quality of life features okay for once I'll take my character design seriously [Music] [Music] it's not what it looks like let me explain what Rocko's up to he's not into freak fashion or whatever it is you're thinking he has a unique play style one that consists of dropping armor in favor
of acquiring the best weapon possible these weapons cost a Fortune of course but luckily for him slf allows you to sell your starter gear during character cre creation so he won't start empty-handed if I want to hide my face it looks like this mask is my only option still in a game as popular as this it could get pretty awkward to play a half- naked mercenary with my face exposed some would say there's a method to his Madness player name srau rockero is the type of player that uses the same name in every game he
plays link established please lie down in a safe place yes ready for liftoff uh Hey a prologue and Skip welcome to shanga Frontier okay shanga Frontier show me what AAA is all about [Music] a forest this is awesome moving my limbs feels pretty much the same as in real life I can run and grab and even climb the movement mechanics and philia were so stiff honestly feels wrong to even compare them wa it's massive [Music] so this is the world of slf now where am I exactly I would assume a game like this would start
you off in a tutorial town instead of just throwing you out into the wild what sunru didn't know is that players who Choose The Wanderer origin story don't start in the tutorial town but instead spawn at a random location in the beginner Zone the starter map is pretty Bare Bones if you ask me let's see over here we have the rampid forest and to the east we have firsta which sounds like a starter Town found it okay guess I'll head east and explore along the [Music] way I can even land properly this should go without
saying but playing this game feels so fluid and just playing good Vitality three figures my defense would be low as a half naked Wanderer we have to see how far 30 luck and a pocket full of Dreams gets me an ambush I just started hello little Goblin you want to play Let's see what this fancy combat engine's made of Bring It On dang a one hit kill I guess it was just a low-level mob wa I leveled up says this Axe can be dual wielded which could come in handy but its durability is already down
to half which means it won't last much longer monster weaknesses attack patterns item drops I've still got a lot to learn here doesn't matter if you're playing a bottom barrrel slop Fest or a top tier AAA title the feeling of diving head first into a new world is pure ecstasy you just can't get that in real life okay let's not forget I'm here to freaking enjoy this [Music] well would you looky there one hit from that and I'm [Music] [Applause] toast you can take more than one crit can't you come on slf this all you
got if your mobs go for my neck every time you think I won't pick up on [Music] that look at all the XP he was a tough little guy wasn't he no weapon drops really I wanted that knife so bad I bet it's hella powerful condition achieved you learn skills based on the actions you perform come to think of it I haven't used any skills yet this game is pretty well thought out Dodgers and parry's get bonuses based on player skill rather than stats alone which means I stand a chance against higher level enemies that
makes me want to try as many fighting styles as possible hold up have I played this whole time without encountering a single bug what's happening I can't see any of the mobs what's this I found a secret world come on why can't I hit you let's go that's what AAA gets you honestly I wasn't sure I'd be able to enjoy a bug-free game after playing in the trash lands for so long but I could get used to this I guess they don't call these god tier for nothing all right I think it's about time I
snag me a tough Bunny's kitchen knife where you at bunnies [Music] not sure I like that skill looks flashy but leaves me open to counters finally leveled again I suppose it's time to allocate the stat points I've been building [Music] up man I really wish that vorpal bunny mob had a higher spawn rate what's a freak like me got to do to find a rare enemy around here I was able to get a matching set of those knives but it took me forever and a half since I beat around 50 of them I guess that's
a drop rate of about 5% or so I wonder these things are rare they've got better stats than the mercenary Twin Blade better take good care of them and your boy learned a few new skills along the way but if I'm being honest screw Pierce is the only one worth a darn with the other qualifying is better than nothing at this point I'm not going to gain any more levels poking around with these low-level mobs I think it's time to move on looks like I've strayed pretty far from the starting Town according to the map
I'm a lot closer to Second Dale the town to the west and in order to get there if that's where I want to go I'm going to have to cross this bridge [Music] and would you look at [Music] that let me guess if I want to cross that bridge I've got to mow through you first great finally get to test my skills with a real challenge with his many positive reviews as slf has I doubt it'll be dishing out any bugged attacks let's try our handed soloing a Bossman for a party it's a snake mob
so I'm assuming its attacks will be coil bite tail swipe swallow and Venom and that's it with an avatar that actually moves the way I want it to I won't need any armor to beat you show me what you're really made of [Applause] [Music] Shang fore fore fore spee fore fore [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] Min hello there friendly viewer my name's Ray Saiga and I would love to let you see the prologue text that rolls at the beginning of shanga Frontier you know the one he's a toy skipped all right boys take it away [Music]
Divine and Divinity there's just so much intriguing jargon isn't there well I guess we'll see you again soon okay [Music] bye-bye Minnie oops I didn't see you you killed a guy what the hell is your problem and where the hell did you get a freaking Carriage anyway I told you to stay on that bench back there dark Lord CaRu for these unavoidable disasters but this is your fault I'm done and I refuse to take another step with you none of this would be happening if it wasn't for the problems you created and I'm the one
handling it [Music]
