00:00Welcome to Mojo Plays, and today we're taking a look at the 10 worst things games make you

00:14do with motion controls.

00:33Looking like a doofus, the PlayStation Move.

00:41After the Wii captured the hearts of millions of people across the globe, Sony saw Nintendo's

00:46newfound success and thought, oh, we should do that.

00:51What a mistake that was.

00:52The PlayStation Move was one of the goofiest products Sony ever put out, and we felt like

00:57utter dinguses using them.

01:05Come on, were we really supposed to flail these sticks around that had glowing balls

01:09on the ends?

01:11Some of the peripherals that came out for it didn't make things any better, nor did

01:15it improve the initial iteration's awful controls.

01:18At least they came in handy for the PSVR, and they were a lot better back then.

01:29Kick in Survival Instincts, Rise of Nightmares.

01:39Would you believe the Kinect got a horror game and it was actually pretty awesome?

01:44Rise of Nightmares was published by Sega and co-produced by Satoshi Ito of Metal Gear

01:49Solid fame, and it actually made the terror feel real.

02:01We aren't exaggerating because of the Kinect's motion-based controls.

02:05Some of the gestures and motions you need to make to fend off monsters may feel like

02:09your survival instincts are kicking in.

02:12On one hand, it's awesome to see a horror game like this reach another level of terror.

02:17On the other hand, we're a little too haunted by our first hour to boot this up again.

02:37Those who spent a lot of time playing Wii games can relate to this all too well.

02:41Imagine playing a game like Mario Party 8 or Zack & Wicky Quest for Barbarossa's Treasure

02:46only to be met with a character making a, uh, uh, questionable motion.

02:58We can't say what it is or else Big Daddy YouTube will get upset with us.

03:02However, Grasshopper Manufacture probably saw the joke when they put out No More Heroes

03:08where you had to shake the Wiimote to recharge your Beam Katana.

03:11Of course, Travis looks to be shaking the Katana rather furiously.

03:14At least we don't see Mario's hand demonstrating how to use a Shake Weight anymore.

03:23Boss Fight QTEs, Marvel Ultimate Alliance.

03:35If you only ever played the Xbox 360 version of Marvel Ultimate Alliance, consider yourself

03:40lucky as the PS3 version was utter nonsense.

03:44Most of the game's boss fights require players to interact with quick-time events, and they

03:47are performed differently between both versions.

03:59Xbox 360 players got to enjoy simple button presses as most QTEs typically are.

04:06PS3 players, on the other hand, were subjected to the DualShock 3's 6-axis functionality,

04:11which barely worked across most games, including Marvel Ultimate Alliance.

04:17In other words, PS3 players had to execute actual motion with the DualShock 3 controller

04:22in order to make it to the next phase of the boss fight.

04:25Yes, it was rage-inducing to use, and we felt super stupid using it.

04:36Making the Olympics even harder, Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020.

04:50Almost every Mario & Sonic installment has done motion controls rather well, decent at

04:55the least.

04:56All of them, except for Tokyo 2020.

04:59We aren't quite sure what happened with this installment, but the motion controls

05:03are much looser here.

05:13You have to exert so much energy in events like rowing just to get a decent speed going,

05:18and with the AI already getting quite a speed boost, the game is just simply demanding too

05:23much from you.

05:24We're not saying this makes Tokyo 2020 a horrible game, but the motion-controlled events

05:30really make this one hard to stomach.

05:39Letting the kids take over, babysitting Mama.

05:48Oh joy, another toy to irritate the hell out of Mom and Dad.

05:52Granted, there were already hundreds of thousands of kids playing games on the Wii, some of

05:56which came with their own annoying and overpriced peripherals, but for the little tykes, there

06:01was Babysitting Mama, a game that required you to shove a Wiimote inside a plush baby

06:06doll just to play the damn thing, and it cost about as much as a normal baby doll at $50.

06:20The only difference is now you can't watch Football or the latest episode of Game of

06:24Thrones because little Sally wants to cradle a plush that's harnessing the power of a

06:29$40 game controller and the living room TV.

06:33Should have gone with the Udraw tablet instead, guys.

06:42Ruining our fantasy of flying a dragon, Lair.

06:53We've all dreamed of flying with a dragon of our own at one point or another, and Lair

06:58was to be the next step forward into realizing that dream.

07:02Emphasis on was, because it didn't.

07:11There was so much promise built up from the trailers and the gameplay was fun in concept,

07:16however, Sony forced developer Factor 5 to integrate that insipid 6-axis functionality

07:22into the game, and as expected with the faulty hardware, it made the game barely playable.

07:28At least Marvel Ultimate Alliance only made you use it occasionally.

07:32This was an entire game built on 6-axis, and Lair's failure caused Factor 5 to shut down.

07:39Thanks, Sony!

07:47Milking Cows with Friends, 1-2-Switch

07:58While everyone was riding high on Switch fever in 2017 with its slew of great games releasing

08:03every month, 1-2-Switch was the one that became the laughingstock of Nintendo first party,

08:09and it wasn't because it was dumb fun, but rather it was an overpriced tech demo with

08:14a cringey demeanor.

08:16But the strangest part of this collection of minigames wasn't the cowboy-themed quick

08:20draw or the magic duel with wizards, no, it was milking the cow.

08:26Milk!

08:30We'd expect this from something like WarioWare, but racing a friend to see who can pull udders

08:36faster is a whole other level of weird.

08:39Be honest, was this a selling point for any of you out there?

08:42Don't lie, we know if you're lying.

08:451-2-Switch

08:50Exercising

08:57When we play video games, we are planning a complicated series of actions to help us

09:02relax.

09:03Boot up the console, pick a game, find a spot to sit, adjust spine, park rear on spot to

09:10sit, chill until we lose track of time and or fall asleep.

09:14So the audacity that some games have, like Wii Fit and Ring Fit Adventure, to tell us

09:20to get up and move is just offensive.

09:24A mode where you'll aim for the high score.

09:27Minigames, run, climb, fly through the air.

09:34Here we are, trying to be lazy and just wanting to push buttons.

09:38We're here to shove chips and pizza into our gullets while doing sick combos or watching

09:44Mario jump around and yell at our friends over online games.

09:48This ain't the time to be doing squats and yoga, and it never will be that time.

09:58How to look like a psycho, Manhunt 2

10:01If you have even the slightest idea of what the Manhunt games are like, then you can probably

10:06guess what the Wii version of Manhunt 2 was like.

10:09For the most part, it was your run-of-the-mill, slightly inferior version of a new game with

10:13arbitrary gimmicks.

10:15Just one thing, those arbitrary gimmicks caused a lot of controversy.

10:20In order to perform finishing moves, the Wii version of Manhunt 2 actually requires the

10:25player to perform the gestures.

10:27And no, we are not showing you any of that stuff because, again, Big Daddy YouTube would

10:32not be super happy with us.

10:34Granted, these gestures are pretty much the same as in the original Manhunt games, but

10:39they're a little bit different.

10:41For example, in Manhunt 2, the player has to perform the same gestures as in the original

10:45Manhunt game.

10:48Granted, these gestures are really just a lot of swinging the Wiimote and nunchuck up

10:53and down, but imagine someone walking in on you, and seeing you perform one of these moves

10:58without any idea of what Manhunt 2 even is.

11:01You're going to have quite a bit of explaining to do, and even then, that person is going

11:06to be on high alert around you for who knows how long.

11:10Well, it's too late to back out now.

11:12Let's move.

11:14But what do you think is the worst thing a game has made you do with motion controls?

11:17Me personally, I'd say it's exercising.

11:20Ring Fit Adventure has quickly reminded how out of shape I truly am.

11:24But let us know down in the comments what you think is the worst motion control-based

11:28game, and be sure to subscribe to Mojo Plays for more great videos every day.

11:33Now, Ring Fit Adventure has its alarm going off for me, so I gotta go and shut that off.

11:38I know, it's time for a workout.

11:40Jeez.

11:42Drop your hips.

11:44Victory!

11:47Thanks for watching.

11:48If you enjoyed the video, there's more where that came from.
