Load Our Last Save: Load Our Last Save: Brute Force

That was some "Halo Killer" all right.

I remember this! i owned it for a week, then sold it back. I think I beat it. It was a Halo ripoff.

This looks like a poor game, but watching these guys try to muddle through the end made it entertaining.

Jeff Shoemaker....

I liked the part where the game ended

Oh man...

Wow the menu font is exactly like Halo.

Hell yeah Brute force!

Thank you whoever, put the premium content on to the RSS. :)

There is no trick of the mind that will keep me from spilling the blood of Shadoon

Brute Force 4 player split-screen. So this is what a schizophrenic break with reality feels like.

I never played this but it always looked terrible to me. It quickly went into the bargain bins (like so many other first-party Microsoft games from that era).

dude i fucking played this game, and i liked it...

OH MY GOD YES. I loved this game when it came out regardless of how stupid it seemed, never finished it though. And it did do the "cloning as a respawn mechanic" well before Borderlands, too.

Man, I read that prequel book.

Did it reveal the origins of the lizard guy?

I skipped school lunch for a month to buy this damn game :(

Jeeeesus. Thanks for sitting through that, guys. It made for a hilarious watch.

I played that game and didn't think it was too bad at the time. Guess my past self was fucked in the head because it looks terrible now.

Anyways Thanks Vinny and the rest of the Bombcrew for doing this.

I remember liking aspects of this game.

I don't give a FUCK about what anyone has to say about this game. IT. WAS. AWESOME.

Time makes fools of us all.

I totally paid full price for Sudeki. I haven't thought about that for years. I'm sad now.

wow I now hope neither of those games ever come back, EVER!

God I was just trying to remember what this dumb game was called yesterday, I remember just seeing mountains and mountains of traded in copies at game stores lol.

I STILL pull this game out and play it every once every year or so. This is why I'm happy to be a subscriber.

I have no idea what's happening in this game. Can't see shit, sir!

Despite some of its flaws, this was one of my favorite co-op games back in the day. I was pretty upset when Digital Anvil was shut down.

I've played and beaten this game and I still have no idea wtf is going on!

Shit like this is the reason why I have a paid membership. Thanks guys for the laughs!

Thank goodness for higher standards today, but even for its time this was pretty shit.

I think because of Brute Force I ended up playing a lot of Tao Feng later.

Has anyone realized yet that Load our Last Save abbreviates to L.O.L.S.?

It doesn't help that they played it like a free-for-all run and gun shooter. I remember each character was good at specific tasks like the sniper or the stealth chick. I think the lizard guy had a sick melee or something during his berserker rage, too. The concept is almost exactly the same as the new game from Insomniac, Overstrike. Hopefully that fares better.

wow...I remember playing the hell out of this game when I got my original Xbox...only game I had for a while since it came with it!

No, he's not in it at all. Only thing I really remember about it is that all the characters die at the end but their memory chips are collected.

OH THAT WAS EVIL.

Do I have to sign up for the Premium Premium Membership for you guys not to turn off trailers you're watching right before the cool parts? EVIL.

To sum up Brute Force:

"This is fucked."

It might have been hard to see, but it was hilarious nonetheless. Also, I'm super glad Drew and Vinny are getting more involved with the video features.

I wonder if Jet Force Gemini was this bad. I used to love that game.

I had this game. It was enjoyable enough. The split screen cluster fuck is funny as hell. Vinny is right though, "play your class". You've got the tank, scout, sniper, and assault guy. They're playing them all the same way and ta da! cluster fuck. Still entertaining to watch....

Lol thats the worst game ive seen ever I think.

I played this game two player co-op from start to finish back on the original Xbox. I really enjoyed it. I would play scout, my friend would be sniper, and we'd order around the two AI controlled fighters. It was a bit buggy and not well balanced, for sure, but I thought the whole class system was refreshing and entertaining. Each character really played differently. It certainly wasn't the "Halo Killer" that the magazines were hyping it to be, but enjoyable none the less.

No way, I think that game was way better than this. It's also been a decade since I last played it...

OH GOD.

Man, I can't see anything.

Never stop doing original Xbox games.

What a fantastically bad ending. It's also nice to see Ryan on lols.

i actually beat this on my own back in the day. what a mediocre game.
