Garten of Banban Tricked The Internet

@Cosmic Klampzy Very true. I only ever played the first one but it was a very good experience,actually got startled a few times lol

@Asto 69 outlast is probably one of the best horror games of all time

Xman 723 said it was the best game in 2023 and the video was made in January

Whats it called?

I agree so much!!!!

My brain is weird and immediately assumed it said “Garden” until now 🤣

*C H I L D R E N E G G*

​@Marina Gellert ...which....if you translate it in a literal sense means 'childrens garden' Ja Deutsch is halt so bissi komisch mit seinen Wörtern

maybe the uephoric brothers are german

Er hat recht weißt du

anyone who thought this game was too bad to not be satire must not have lived through the era of slenderman clone games

@lautaro gomez Why did you think about rule 34 for this shitty indie game? 🤨📸

@lautaro gomez i think i found the devs alt account

@lautaro gomez Ahh irony

@pato o cadeirante saaaaauuuuce

Yk I'm kinda hoping he does this for science theory

I like that idea

@Ivan Alves I would like to add in “Sharing is caring, your Pancreas is mine.”

reminds me of kyoro chan lol

I love the bird so much I have it as my profile pic #opilabird

They are mildly attractive... there I said it

@maninanikittycat fr

@LPFan Yeah, that is understandable

@Fresco I know and I still don't quite understand why that is a thing. That some words are shared is logical, but shared words that build ontop of non-shared words always sound wrong.

Far as I know, kindergarten is one of those german words that is also being used in english, like poltergeist.

In the second chapter were "n" and "i" 💀

F

Fun fact: if you put the letters i think its supposed to spell “garten of banban”

It’d be funny if all the random single letter G.O screens spelled out “skill issue” but I saw an “r” so idk

That’s amazing

#birdup

oh hi pasta sauce

@FredTheProtogen true

I like your content

BIRD UP

@Teme the bird is chills.

I dont think youtubers care though because they got views anyway

@TheDayOfTheDucks So? the effect was still there, get off the hate bandwagon dude, you guys are so boring.

Just like the first chapter of Poppy.

lmao

This comment aged poorly. They're gonna release a 3rd chapter with even more polygons.

Peace i guess

​@Itz Skully MORE OPILA

OPILA HAS RETURNED

@inescapableboiTHEY RETRUNED

I thought it was real but thought it was a roblox game like rainbow friends. Could ya blame ne?

Thats cool, but bird up.

this is literally what he said in the fucking video

it would be a lot better if they made it satire tbh

Kinda reminds me of how Tommy Wiseau handled The Room becoming so popular due to how bad it was. Honestly, he made it work, and if the Euphoric Brothers own it, then maybe Garten Of BanBan 2 can be genuinely enjoyed as horror comedy/satire, assuming they pull it off in a way that doesn't come off as trying too hard.

If you do then don’t end up as cash-grabby and begging for attention as garten of banban

I definitely thought it was creepy.

The most unsettling part is how it stared at you the whole time… otherwise… comedy gold

Yeah, I don't think the game itself is anything special- it's a furthens the problems of Poppy's Playtime, but like Poppy's Playtime, it has one or two good enough elements that it was able to kick off as a "good" horror game to people willing to overlook the lack of polish and care put into other important areas.

@deg vegas Im not talking about the bird. The bird goofy AF. I'm talking about the way the bird moves towards you before the chase scene. If applied to an actually scary monster in an actually scary game, I think it would've been cool. Just pointing out massive missed potential. Besides, we can't rob the Euphoric brothers of ALL credit.

@Flamedramon68 It's not a double standard anymore tho because that event happened years ago. It's no longer a modern standard. All It means peoples values changed during that time. And yes, THAT quickly.

I think this a bit of an unfair reading of the situation. The problem with Matt's stream is that he didn't link the game at all, and when called out on it tried to double down and didn't apologise. Irrc he didn't even name the game in the title. Most of the videos I've seen at least mention the game so you can go find it. Matt gets dogpiled for some dumb shit but the backlash from the heartbound stream was completely deserved. He didn't credit the artist, we all know that's bad.

I feel like that's a different situation because with the Undertale/MatPat thing, MatPat was comparing every other game to Undertale (including using the algorithm to make the video more recommended with Undertale tags) as like a 'showcase' type of style but taking away the game's identity by just saying it was another Undertale. The games were unique but they were just being labelled as "like Undertale" instead of being a game that might _remind you_ of Undertale. The whole Banban comparison I feel is to highlight how little originality indie games like these have now. They follow the same linear plotline, same monster mechanics, etc. To the point where it's becoming bland and overdone and you can put games like Poppy Playtime and Banban side by side and see very few major differences. There's nothing unique about it anymore.

@CATibal he did tho, iirc the video was titled somewhere along the lines of UNDERTALE 2 | Heartbound

This comment is a prime example of causing discourse, unintentionally or intentionally. Matpat refusing to give proper credit and links if I remember right, when confronted by the devs he still refused and played it off as a good thing only giving up when Toby Fox said something. So did this happen with Banban? It isn't one 180 and part of the reason things get so hostile when you mention Undertale. Edit: To clarify, the hostility is due to false blame which Undertale had to deal a lot with, a big thing was Megalovania where Homestuck community tried to take credit for that theme when it was in a romhack Toby made before that. Undertale got kicked a lot by ignorance... which led to people being a lot more annoyed with Matpat since it came across less as funny and more as kick the beaten dog. Which ultimately ended with him doing as I mentioned and made his character questionable as it looks like he was trying to stir up discourse.

@Splatoon Aleks cant wait for jermas playthrough of garten of banban where he screams like a little girl over opila bird

matter platter

@Saval jerma

@Poisonheart96 doing something because people told you not to seems like a response everyone can relate to

@Poisonheart96 Anything to not play Hello Neighbor 2

@KhaoticKiri well shoot, they mightve deleted the community post because I know for certain I saw one.

@Oh No Yeah I didn't realize I missed an upload, and it was credited in his previous video. I think I checked his community posts but found nothing though, just a stream announcement from three months ago

They're credited in the previous video I believe. Should be in the description, and I know for certain that there's a community post about it

@The_Godbodor I feel like most people have dealt with others like that sadly.

@Jorge Don’t worry about that, as a Gen 5 Pokémon fan I’ve been dealing with people like him for years.

@Uncle Karl So? Even a small animation/interaction like that can add a lot of charm to a character.

It’s literally just a short sprite animation

@Kitty Peanut Because God forbid anyone enjoys something you dislike.

​@Bloody Hell ??? Mark almost exclusively plays indie horror games. he's not incentivized by money to make that choice lol

@Moss Hive Network because he is a youtuber that plays horror games, and this is considered one, therefore he played it

@Bloody Hell I guess.

@Moss Hive Network 💰💰💰💰

Why did he even play that game.

personally i think it is satire because the euphoric brothers have basically made many more current horror parodies

@Kat I don't think that's the case, I'm pretty sure it's an intentional cash grab. These brothers have literally put out eleven games in the last year, and the other ten all look worse than Banban

@Kyle I feel like he may be a good game designer in reality but was pressured by the current media. He might of thought his game wouldn’t of gotten any traction if he didn’t try and feast off the success of others.

I feel as though these are the brothers from digital homicide studios

What sucks is that they actually did a good job with the hidden content, the easter eggs are neat, just the main part is bad

Honestly, it looks more like Rainbow friends inspiration (and Poppy playtime as well).

@Alfinator exact same thing happened with fnaf

Children will swarm over this copy-paste, low effort game like wildfire, and children's content creators are inevitably going to take advantage of that. It's sad, really.

I feel like it already has in a weird way.

Another Bird Enjoyer. I welcome you.

Smash it.

@Fallout Boy as much as I hate amogus, I agree

Among Us is better

@ENTITY 404 #birdup

@KILL ME_YT yeah, I personally think sometimes his voice is a little annoying, but I enjoyed a few of his videos. Also he sometimes milks games a little too much, he made a billion videos on porkchop's adventure while the game is really short and doesn't really have that much extra content.

I don't really see why there's any guilt in that pleasure

What video is that clip from?

@Iclynnx "kids shouldn't be babysat by content creators" is the best way i've seen this said

@Iclynnx I agree !

Maybe have it be a “EXE” thing?

That could honestly work, because something this bad grabs a lot of peoples attention and makes people pay attention. So suddenly dropping a good horror game you already have people waiting to play.

@charmless man Next game theory: "Why is Opila pink?"

Even if it was a parody, it would be a terrible one. And the fact that there's legit merch of it is proof enough that it was nothing more than a quick cash grab.

@Frenchfrise exactly Fly Mother fr

@Azura Exactly. A parody that is not clearly a parody is not a parody, but rather it is exactly the same as what it’s trying to parody. Also. Mommy fly.

@Andrew Bowlerso just saying it’s false doesn’t make it so lmao

GT? You mean every big TRvidr they're literally all the same

Poor the happy game at the back : (

That game is truly amazing

I freaking loved that game. Amazing suggestion

Yeah that game is awsome

@Nebulous Neuhaus opila bird has no time for gender or your professional nouns

@Higuera ft oh yeah, definitely on crack

@xenolizardz Opila Bird, however, is NOT above drugs...

@Nebulous Neuhaus Opila Bird is above gender, Opila Bird is above all of us

ummmmm you misgendered Opila Bird, its a SHE/HER/HERS flightless avian -_-

That's actually a good idea for a game, but it's wasted on THE BIRDB MY BELOVED

@Skylar Chungus To quote another reply that summed it up better... "Bird nerd here: I also was kind of taken aback by how accurate Opila’s movements, “thoughts” and such were. It genuinely looks like the birds I’ve worked with, they do almost exactly what she did before they decide to strike and attack you. (Usually playfully with the ones I deal with tho.) She honestly scares me because she feels like I’m up against an actual giant bird that could hurt me lmfao." Definitely can see it yeah...

The bird gave me chills. The way it didn't immediately charge but seemed to observe the player with a sort of predatory curiosity was genuinely scary.

rain world is a horror game apparently

The bird gave me chills. The way it didn't immediately charge but seemed to observe the player with a sort of predatory curiosity was genuinely scary.

@Ivan Alves the father of phantom chica

Watermelon with veins

thats the original green m&m

The bird gave me chills. The way it didn't immediately charge but seemed to observe the player with a sort of predatory curiosity was genuinely scary.

@UnOfficial Door See, now THAT'S a much better copypasta lol

The bird 🕊️ gave me chills 🥶. The way it didn't immediately charge 🔌 but seems to observe 👀 the player 🎮 with a sort of predatory 🦁 curiosity ❓was genuinely 💯 scary 😱.

@A simple complication The bird gave me chills. The way it didn't immediately charge but seemed to observe the player with a sort of predatory curiosity was genuinely scary.

@A simple complication The point is to roast a guy that unironically believes the bird was scary so for me it's fucking great

To be fair, that bird is fucking hilarious looking...

@ReptileRandy Krusha id like one that is in a laboratory where they where designing a kid's product that then failed but instead of being a rotten image of that is practically undistinguishable, like from an artificial dog to a octopus like beast

Correction: Make an actual horror game rather than goofy ahh abandoned kids facility with goofy ahh secrets.

@tamsuemomwife fact

@The Wizard Slime but in a way that good.

@katsunova that's just childhood corrupting at its max point

@Stargatory Don’t know why it runs bad for you, I use a gaming laptop and it runs fine for me. Even still, Poppy playtime started with old and stale concepts and the whole “childhood thing become scary” is oversaturated at this point, but I’m still keeping an eye on it for the later chapters since the monsters themselves are relatively unique in this sector of games. Most of these mascot horrors are more stiff movements like robots, meanwhile Poppy has things like Mommly Longlegs which is a pretty refreshing monster idea. And even if you have gripes with Poppy, Project Playtime is quite fun and, sure it’s still glitchy, at least it’s getting worked on and updated while being a fun time still (unlike some other massive triple A release where the devs are “content with the current state of the game”). Out of the Mascot Horrors, I have more hope in Poppy than I do with Hello Neighbor and this Banban crap.

@The_Godbodor Massive cope, Poppy is dogshit through and through. Game barely runs a consistent frame rate on my high spec PC, crashed fifteen times while I was playing chapter two, the concept is tired and played out, and the game doesn't have an original bone in it's body.

@The_Godbodor ngl I'm still sorta interested in seeing where Banban goes from here, if but to see whether they double down on their nonsense or actually try to improve like Poppy did. Got my thoughts on which lol

@Mystery acount It was, but they actually managed to turn it around due to already having some level of quality and care put in (mainly the visuals) and they worked from that. Banban on the other hand has all the negatives of Poppy at its launch with no redeeming qualities that they could salvage it from, unlike Poppy.

You seem to be forgetting that originally poppy WAS a cash grab with the whole NFT's having the lore situation they tried to do and the controversy with the possible plagiarism They apologized for both things and are now trying to do better work with their game...but originally it was about money

@Phantasm Blast yeah like , a lot of youtubers were having trouble with that one game about a mortuary asistant because the videos kept getting age restricted, super cool game but a pain in the butt to upload the video

It HAS though. Actually good indie horror games will never get popular due to how basic and "kid-oriented" they have to be now. Anything that showcases gore or really anything too creepy will not get far on youtube anymore.

Oh. Well, I mean, not like it mattered. I see no garden.

Yeah. The word Kindergarten means Child Garden.

In my opinion a horror game related to liminal spaces would work much better as a more psychological horror game, probably about losing your innocence.

Thanks for watching and commenting text me I have something special fo..r you 🎁🎉🎁

I highly doubt he was being serious.

Are you comfortable sharing what phobias they are?

This is why I don’t comment anything.

Or it's a contraction of the word kindergarten, but who knows.

hunt down the freeman strat

you can’t just say that then not say anything else man, i’m concerned about that lol

Wait a minute, what? You cannot just say they also made a school shooter life sim and not tell us the name of the game, I need to see it since I haven't heard about this at all in discourse surrounding the game

@ReptileRandy Krusha Yes, we can dream through.

It would've been hilarious if we had this game that looked like it was made by a student doing a college assignment for coding last 10 minutes the due time, turn out to be a well written, beautifully executed, BATDR level graphics masterpiece... But, a man can only dream, though.

Opla Bird beautiful.

They added the merch 3 hours after the game released
