Earthbound Review (Corrected)

[NeonLitGhost]

He's so excited about the burger shop, he hit puberty again.

[ThyVincent]

They are framing the game as easy because it's easy on the controller? Wow.

[AssassinTheHasson]

I'm still trying to wrap my head around how battles and HP elements seem out of place in an RPG?

[Keyeb]

No the first RPG to be set in modern time was Mother 1......

[MattorMaybeSteve]

"The game can be controlled with the L button."

>Presses b button over and over<

AND SATURN VALLEY.

[DARKSAMUScorruption2]

and whats wrong with easy rpgs? most rpgs i play make me feel like im going to have a nervous breakdown like the shin megami tensei games. Dont get me wrong it's one of my favorite rpg series but it's nice to have an easy relaxing rpg with hilarious dialogue

[Senshidayo]

? Did he just list all the locations in the game? For no reason???

[AssassinTheHasson]

@Senshidayo he clearly left out 'a uterus'

[nintendoplayersmash]

bad review.

[Skelley1091]

Once again this guy proves just how stupid of a reviewer he is. Also, I know he always puts filler in these reviews (for some reason) but what does footage from Final Fantasy VI have to do with this game?

[Senshidayo]

@Skelley1091 lol

[mttloebach]

AND EAT PIZZA IN THE OTHER HAND.

[Senshidayo]

@mttloebach lol

[mttloebach]

0:27 LOL.

[falcosnake39]

This is the "corrected" review.

Can the original really be THAT bad?

[starfoxrocks1]

earthbound was actualy not the first rpg based in modern times it's predecesor mother (which was only released in japan) took place in modern times

[pwnageking5]

like illusion of gaia

[LegionsOfAnon]

Listen, Shigesato Itoi: if you want to do something different, why not make a game where Ness just plays baseball while Paula is pregnant?

[Ci1an]

nub

[pringlesguy1]

....really? No no, go ahead, list every possible location in the entire game as part of the review..that makes a lot of sense. While you're at it, completely contradict yourself on weather the game is good or not then repeat the same line over again -_- god damn...

[kekensa]

Though I disagree with this man, the fact that I can enjoy pizza as much as I enjoy EarthBound is the best discovery I have ever made

[sas647]

What a dickhead

[MrAlienAssassin]

"Loch Ness Lake?"

*Epic Facepalm*

Saying that is like saying "Lake Michigan Lake." Loch is just an Irish/Scottish term for a lake.

[jthmguitarist]

You guys don't get it, this is parody of a terrible game review.

[cooleobrad1337]

whaaaaa?

[Poco64]

the script for this was written by a third grader.

[Abnorvell]

Did he REALLY need to name nearly every location in the game?

And he couldn't have made it more obvious that he was reading off a long list.

[HogisGuy]

So... is this guy using bots to thumb his videos up or are people just stupid?

[nano69ify]

0:28 HOW THE FUCK IS THAT IMPORTANT TO KNOW IN A VIDEO GAME REVIEW!!!!!!

[BeeryGamer]

@nano69ify Because people on a cruise clearly want to eat pizza at all times...? I have no idea.

[insidetrip101]

@nano69ify

I wonder if that guy is the same one speaking...

[nano69ify]

@insidetrip101 Looks like it,

[YubabaOfYourHeart]

Pretty bad review.

Ive finished the game probably 7-8 times, and played it about 5 times where I didn't have the energy to finish it. That being said, even though there's not much replay-value... I still just wanna play it again and again and again! :D

He says it's easy, and I suppose it isn't hard, but I have died many times over the years... xDD

Try getting all the unique weapons too :D

I've done it, but it sure wasn't easy... or quick. (>.<)

[GamerNinjaX]

man I dont like this guys reviews he just doesnt explain enough, the only thing that made sense that he said is "it is set in modern times" all the other stuff was just bull crap/

[EnvyTheRacistDragon]

@mewtwo711 (Continued) Theres also an array Of enimies in Earthbound. You get to fight Everything from Coil snakes, To animate, Walk and exploding Yrees. To The HH cult, To The Wooly Shamblers, From Gruff Goats To Worthless Protoplasm. From A Giant Ant, To a Dog Made From Caron and Diamonds :D

[EnvyTheRacistDragon]

@mewtwo711 It wasn't every place. Theres Onett, Twoson, Threed, Saturn Valley, Belch's Base, Grapefruit Falls, A cemetary, Winters, Fourside, Moonside, Summers, Scaraba, Toto, Stonehenge, Stone henge BASE, Apple kids house, Orange kids house, Dr.Andonuts lab, The Pyramid, Deep Darkness, Dungeon Man, Tenda Village, Lost underworld, Giant step, Lilliput steps, Milky well, Magnet Hill, Pink cloud, Rainy circle, (Takes breath) Lumine Hall, Fire spring, Your welcome on the spoilers :D

[Mobius14]

371 people are actual fans of Earthbound. Including me.

[mewtwo711]

Thank you for listing EVERY FREAKING PLACE IN THE GAME. Wow, that list was seriously unnecessary.

[donchakayaripon]

@AVGNZero At least his opinion holds some merit, unlike yours. I'm not a huge fan of Earthbound, but I do think it's a good game, and while it has some flaws, it's not even close to being considered for worst game ever made, because there are a LOT of people who actually like it.

[ChairmanDrekXXA]

I refuse to believe this man was payed for these "reviews."

[Poco64]

here let me segway into a pizza review real fast

[ProtoMario]

Wow first few sentences-

Earth Bound is an easy RPG....

And why is this guys voice only coming out my left speaker?

You should consider buying it-

Ebay 100-200 dollars

End of the Video absolutely attrcious

Let me summarize this-

Earthbound is an RPG of older style meaning there is a set battle scheme instead of real time events similar to Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy. While earthbound is fun, quirky and difficult it still stands as one of the top RPGs in existence.

Earthbound FTW!

[kimflodin]

i smell a lot of butt-hurt fanboys in the comments section..

the guy said that it sucks isn't really right,well i'd pick pokemon,final fantasy,chrono trigger and many other RPGs over EarthBound,that guy was just saying his opinion,i mean if i thought EarthBound sucks(wich i don't) i would post the same commentit got good music and a nice battle system but i think it's neither bad OR good.

[AceRyonik]

"When this van's PSI-Rockin', don't come a-knockin'."

[OriganalPie]

Nothing by Navgtr can ever be corrected

[Troyboy1225]

this game is not that easy. You'll die more times than on FFXIII, a recent rpg.

[AVGNZero]

This is the worst game ever made

[legosony00]

@AVGNZero, YOU ARE A FAGOT

[neobogard]

@AVGNZero how comes?.

[sayastra]

@AVGNZero I dislike turn based rpg's (FF's, Dragon Warriors and even Chrono trigger never did it for me)and yet EarthBound was a must have for me. It is worth too much now (80 bucks for a cheap one is costly) the graphics are child stylized rather than detailed, the story is often all over the place, the jokes corny, and sometimes the story is all over the place. and yet the game is huge and vast, the music is (IMO) the best and most eclectic mix on the SNES, Gigyas rules-

[sayastra]

@AVGNZero the fighting system is the first to feature the automatic win (as well as the facing advantage)... Most people don't LOVE this game (enough to plop serious coin down) but I don't think you played this- at least not to a point where you understood how it worked (I give rpg's at least a hour of my time before I decide if it's worth playing more or not). I can see not caring for it but claiming it the "worst game ever?" you haven't played much

[goldentailsXD]

@AVGNZero troll

[MrMynewthing]

@AVGNZero Really then how?

[todamam66667]

@AVGNZero the worst game ever would be dr.jekyll and mr.hyde for the NES.dumbass

[AVGNZero]

@todamam66667 That is your opinion dumbass

[VRPcheatmaster13]

VRP attacked navgtr! SMMMMMMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASS­SSSSSSSSHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!

9999 Damage!

the navgtr was deafeted!

YOU WON

gained 4983 exp.!

Got a 10/10 review!

[therealmetroidmaniac]

Isn't "loch ness lake" a little redundant?

[CleansWithRag]

This game was *weird*, but, interestingly fun.

[Klybe2]

You recover health by eating pizza? JUST PIZZA? JUST A ONE DAMN SLICE OF PIZZA1!!!?!!!!!1! Well, you can eat more than just pizza. -.- navgtr was noobish when they made this.

[animegamingdude]

(sighes) This review puts more shame on an already criminally overlooked game.

[XPsychoBurgundyX]

Every fucking last single one of your reviews sucks. You probably don't even play 90% of the games you review. Just ONCE, I would like to see you actually get something right in one of your reviews.

[theneutraldoctor]

Did he just call Earthbound an easy game? Twice?!?

You have to get past snakes, dogs, a whole gang, the gang's leader and his robot, an entire cave full of killer ants, killer mice, and killer slugs, a Titanic Ant (one of 8 monsters considered powerful enough to keep Ness away from unlocking his ultimate powers), and an entire police force--ALL IN THE SAME FUCKING TOWN--and he calls it EASY?!?!?

He better hope Ness doesn't come and use PSI Rockin' on his sorry ass.

[thefreakysurgeon]

damn i wish this game gets re-released.

too bad that would be a very tough wish to grant.

[TheEvalButterfree]

i recon navgtr (rip?) has like soo many more views thanks to retuprae its not all bad for the "victims"

[superluigisteven]

what kinda review is this?

[TheEvalButterfree]

@superluigisteven a crappy one :P

[ultimateanimefighter]

Terrinle script, terrible jokes, And worst of all it did NOTHING to boost it's popularity. See the happy video game nerds review. H does a MUCH better job.

[legogamer98]

I still hate you.

[olinar90]

the first in modern time? you haven't played Mother 1 or Earthbound 0 then

[cdroix]

@olinar90 that game was not released in America except for on emulators.

[TheEvalButterfree]

@cdroix thats what he is using look at the glitch at 1:20 see either that or his cart fucked up...and he wont be able to finish the game due to anti piracy

[todamam66667]

@cdroix little tidbit fact:there are earthbound zero (AKA mother in japan)beta carts.they are very (and i mean very)rare.only 4 or 5 beta carts exist.other than that you're right it's not technically released in america

[MrAnimeviewer2000]

Wait, did you say that this game is set in...modern time?

[YellowYoshi398]

Wow, I'm surprised at how... competent this review is. Everybody's always talking about how George Wood is such an idiot (and yes, his jokes even in this - the pizza thing - are retarded), but it looks to me like he managed to capture the current stance on Earthbound way back in 1995. While everybody else was mindlessly blasting Earthbound back then, this guy seems to have seen it for the diamond in the rough it's praised as today.

[unclestaco]

Why is this coming out of my right speaker only?

[AntiReviews]

WHERE IS POO

[TakOMega]

Idiot, you don't just eat Pizza to full health. Play your RPGs more than once and stop uploading these crappy reviews. EarthBounds an awesome game. Stop raping people's childhood. >:(

[princessZelda089]

@TakOMega

Um, Zone-sama is raping our childhoods, not this guy.

[scumlander]

0:38 - 1:02 made me cry... then laugh... and i couldn't stop laughing. I just couldn't stop

[VGKing]

Now I can see why the original's sound cut off: it just thought, "Fuck it, you don't need to listen to any of this."

[Adowel123]

AHHH most annoying voice reading ever!!

[ShadowClawX16]

This gives no justice to EarthBound.

[ClashBomber]

"The battles and the HP elements seem out of place"

BATTLES!? IN AN RPG!? HOW OUT OF PLACE

[EricMushroomWilson]

Prepare to visit several places!

[MotherBound1]

"EarrthBound is the first RPG to beset in modern times." What about Mother?

[EmperorZ19]

@MotherBound1 Yes, but you're ignoring the fact that EarthBound was the first RPG set in modern times

[MotherBound1]

@EmperorZ19 Did you even read my comment. Mother was released before EarthBound and Mother took place in the 80's.

[EmperorZ19]

@MotherBound1 I was trying to make a joke about how he says that same line twice in the review -_-

[Hamsteere]

It would only work if Paula had breast cancer and had to drive to hospital.

[chosentonessournotes]

@Hamsteere To deliver her baby.

[7ruthie]

@Hamsteere What's with the Breast Cancer comments?

[Hamsteere]

@7ruthie In a Tomb Raider reviewer, navgtr says that a great idea for a game would to give Lara Croft breast cancer.

[CheatMasterAOD]

@7ruthie Watch Retsupurae and you'll find out

[gaminggoddess85]

These reviews make me want to kill myself. With breast cancer.

[GPWNfilms]

Bill Clinton: I'll go bound on your earth, if you know what I'm sayin.

[TheFoxshot]

Do guys think Earthbound will come out for the 3DS?

[TheAnonftw]

Did he just start naming random locations in the game, I mean he could have done less and added more review content.

[Sargeantslug]

You've obviously suffered quite a few blows to the head to dislike this game

[Pacalakin]

from what i can tell from the comments (havent watched yet), you apparently are the only guy i have ever heard of who doesnt like this game, amiright?

[tnpan]

"It's the first RPG set in modern times."

So what? Phantasy Star 2 is set in the future where you can clone and teleport and shit. That didn't mean that the job system wasn't fucking retarded in that game, and you have to grind constantly.

[Terryracoon]

@tnpan future =/= modern times

i think he meant the present! Think about it: Most RPG's before that were set either in a medieval past or a post-apocalyptic future! (THAT DOES NOT SAVE THIS REVIEW HOWEVER!)

[CreepyMcCreep]

This review didn't really explain the game at all. Lawl.

[crazy1111111111]

this is a joke right? i mean seriously, if you're going to post a review on earthbound make sure to get all the facts :-) otherwise don't piss the earthbound fan base off, we're a pretty ravage fan base. that's mostly due to all the broken promises. we'll fight for earthbound no matter what!

[BigJuicyx3]

It would have been better if Ness got testicular cancer and Lara Croft had to give up the cure for her breast cancer to help him. Then Ness had to drive (within the speed limit of course) Lara to the hospital, so she can get her kemo.

If you don't think that's a great plotline, YOU ARE STUPID.

[TheDARKYOSHI64]

this is stupid. Earthbound is a classic,fun RPG

[MotherBound1]

Here are some problems with this 'review'.

1. EarthBound is NOT the first RPG to be set in modern times.

2. It's not "energy" it's HP.

3. Loch ness? It's called Tessie.

4. Since when do you go to a preschool in EarthBound?

5. What the hell is a "Snake Shop"?

Also in the first upload of this "review", the title says EarthBound AKA Mother. It is Mother 2 you idiot.

[erem35]

@MotherBound1 Paula's parents run a preschool, dont they? The Snake Shop is in the desert after you leave Summers by boat (name eludes me at the moment).

[MotherBound1]

@erem35 Yeah, you're right. I completely forgot about the Polestar Preschool.

[mugenlordftw]

@MotherBound1 Polestar Preschool.

[monkeypoo500]

@MotherBound1

i though t it was mother 3

[BeeryGamer]

@MotherBound1 Yeah, you are definitely right on the most part... except for the fact that they didn't go to a preschool. Remember Polestar in Twoson, that was clearly a preschool!

[losgamerzz]

why did u say phsycic experience point they dont exsist in this game

[losgamerzz]

u said this is the first rpg set in modern history twice

also dont let ur 5 year old write this for you

[ShadowRules]

needs more breast cancer

[hypnotic13371337]

"what should we end the video with guys?"

"how about something totaly unrelated to the rest of the video?"

"thats a great idea, have a promotion"

[Blueberrycherries]

I made up a slogan for this game. It's "This is the 90's. Think Modern, not Medieval."

[Jakeyjake1OO]

wtf he named ness loogi? what is he 6?!

[Firemonkuu]

@DLAbaoaqu You are embarking on an adventure to the horrid depths of the navgtr? You, sir, are quite courageous to perform such an action!

[DLAbaoaqu]

I have found my next video....!

[laxwolf]

NOT ENOUGH BREAST CANCER 0/5

[ultimateanimefighter]

@laxwolf Wrong score. -5/5. Thats what i think this review deserves.

[EnvyTheRacistDragon]

@laxwolf Piss Off. I bet you've never played the game.

[laxwolf]

@EnvyTheRacistDragon What's your problem? It's a joke about the user who made this. I fucking love earthbound you fuck.

[EnvyTheRacistDragon]

@laxwolf I love it too. Although ive never Beaten it, I still find it a great game to play.

[laxwolf]

@EnvyTheRacistDragon Yeah, haven't beaten it yet but it's so good. The atmosphere is perfect.

[EnvyTheRacistDragon]

@laxwolf Im stuck At the Electro Spectre. I think im too underleveled. Plus, He has A Psi Shield, So i cant Rape him with a few starstorms

[MezaseMaster]

0:39 - 1:02

Very informative.

[badmuffins9000]

Are you dissing Earthbound? YOU MUST DIE!!!!!

[ComradeGraty]

wow look at all the rage from fanboys. get over it, not everyone likes this game

[crapadotol]

wow... I don't think that anyone should watch this review because it's all wrong, WHO WROTE THIS REVIEW ANYWAY!!!! A FIVE YEAR OLD!!

[theSneakySasquatch]

wow, that was........different.

[athropos]

You're like 60 years old navgtr, stop trying to judge things you have to clue about. 

[TeddyTrioGuy16]

idiot reviewer

[rsMAstER991]

ok this reveiw sucks

[rsMAstER991]

@mrjoe862 mother 2 is the best rpg and y every one call it earthbound?

[fireluigi12]

easy? i barely made it to happy village when i played it myself. but thats probably because i suck badly at most rpgs.

[seasuzie]

For hating Earthbound this guy is just a fail. he doesn't deserve the ure just fail

[Th3Skull3r]

This is probably the least informative and most insulting "professional" review of earthbound ever. Could you imagine somebody reviewing Metroid Prime, and then sticking in 13 seconds of Halo footage at the end, and then just simply stating the places you will go in it. I am not even convinced this reviewer has even PLAYED the game, considering how little information was shared...

Fail review is fail.

[shaka1221]

@feh2 Earthbound = greatest RPG ever. Any Nay sayer deserves to get hit by a fucking bus. The end.

[feh2]

Sure, you know, ignoring FF6, Fallout, And Enix Classics..Alright!

Douchebag.

[slitheryjuggler94]

why did he show ff6 at the end?

[boitahaki]

@slitheryjuggler94 because it looks way better than Earthbound and was made in the same snes generation of games

[slitheryjuggler94]

@boitahaki yeah but it also has nothing to do with the video at all

[themangOMEGA]

@slitheryjuggler94 Either that, or Chrono Trigger.

[SuperAwesomeTiago]

@slitheryjuggler94 That's navgtr for you: random shit.

[SmashSisterSam]

@feh2 Fuck off, asshole. Don't like it? THEN DON'T FUCKING BUG US!!!!

[ChadSpeaks]

Like 90 percent of this damn review is the narrator listing the places you'll go. Thanks.

[Zombieguy441]

He really ended on a strong saying " The humor makes the game interesting"

[MEGAGUY21]

damn i can feel the joy and excitement come for this dude in WAVES

T_T

[angelwriter360]

...he does realize that earthbound was an affectionate parody of modern day America, and not an attempt at making a game set in the real world, right? not to mention that mother 3 seems to indicate that the world from earthbound goes to hell in the end. oh, and here's a good idea: LEARN TO REVIEW, YOU MORON!

[TimeDawg]

Where the hell is Retsupurae when you need them?

[Setzergabbini]

If you disable your right speakers, you can just listen to the music. It's amazing.

[Zabuza1981]

Earthbound easy?Are you serious?And what does FF 6 doing in this video?

[nghtmrchaos90]

This guy's review is the reason the sound cut off in the original video. Earthbound was fucking awesome, and he didn't give it the review it deserved.

[ROCK1337ful]

earthbound. easy. this guy is retarted.

[ThatGastrodon]

This is why Earthbound didn't sell.

[soyo1000]

the review that has no talking.... also 123 likes? 0.0 1 2 3...

[soyo1000]

@soyo1000  sorry, stereo was broken.

[ThirdMarioBrother]

@MoisChanVsTamama I know, I was simply pointing out the bad structure of this review, not anything about the game itself.

[vevemon]

wtf at the ending?

[nerdboy02]

I'm going to see this guy's face in my nightmares.

[matttanner1]

ya this fukn guy obviously did not actually play this game earthbound is so underrated

[ThirdMarioBrother]

How can you make a review this short about such an epic game?

This game is easy. It's the first RPG set in modern times. *list of a few areas* *belch joke* This game is easy. It's the first RPG set in modern times.

...Just why?

[runnersdialzero33]

W... what's with the Final Fantasy VI footage at the end?

[Swifttheslacker]

why didn't retsupurae get this one?

[Joooovis]

I challenge Navgtr to do a no equipment run. Douche bag.

[nerdboy02]

Had Navgtr actually played past the first few screens of the game, he may have noticed its difficulty.

[GPazosL]

Well that was one crappy review.

[dashwarts]

Someone have a cracked bat to make the reviewer become tame?

[dylstew]

This guy sucks balls

[dylstew]

easy?

it's not THAT easy ....

in ESY RPG"S you don't have to buy food in the beginning ;P

[LordChambers]

Thanks for turning a cherished childhood memory into a late-night infomercial.

[TriviumCrusader17]

You have by a mile the worst voice on the PLANET!!!!!!!!!!!!!! omg i almost fucking hung myself with my mouse cord!!!!

[Uhbliviun]

@TriviumCrusader17: okaaay, not too dramatic

[Hbardsparky]

I love how he added a FF clip to the end of this review, as if he didn't do enough wrong before that lol.

[Koopsas]

make it stop! MAKE IT STOP!
