Yeah.... this one should speak for itself. Episode 3 and we're just finally getting to a game that we can actually launch and play. I wish we couldn't. This video features my first impressions and a full review of one of the largest and most popular Metaverses, Decentraland. In 2022, the term "Metaverse" seems to be thrown around constantly, with even places like Wal-Mart and The UPS Store having shops open within the metaverse. But... what is The Metaverse? What does it look like? Can I play it today?

I hope to answer all of those questions in more, in today's episode of "Worst Crypto Game Ever?". We take a deep dive into the $1B crypto metaverse of Decentraland and review it from the perspective of a gamer. Gamers are known to be a rather picky bunch, especially when it comes to games that include trendy things like Crypto and NFTs, so it's no surprise that there has been a ton of controversy surrounding Decentraland so far.

But with the game's poor performance, confusing interface, and overall poor gameplay, Decentraland stands in 2022 as more of a black sheep in the metaverse industry, with player counts hardly reaching over 200 on even the busiest days. How much longer will Decentraland be around, and will the players ever manage to sell the land that they purchased in 2021, hoping to double their money?
With players still trying to sell land at minimum prices over $1000, there is little volume in this Metaverse's economy, since it is very rare for new people to buy into Decentraland. Additionally, all of the initial plots sold out in the first 30 seconds of the game's first launch, so the land market is completely controlled by the players at this point. The result is the current state of Decentraland, a game with a stagnant economy, a declining playercount, and an overall embarrassing presentation. Buckle up, and enjoy the ride.

    Thanks for watching, everyone! Suggestions for the next game to play are welcome!
  • @BlazeMakesGames
    The funniest thing about the Decentraland DAO is the time when they voted on whether they should address the fact that rich people can overrule the popular vote. The vast majority of people voted to change the system but like only 4 users with tons of tokens were able to overrule the vote…

    There's a reason no one is talking to you. Imagine excitedly running around a slave labour camp asking people what's up and dancing. You probably would just get some sad, confused glances as they continue to toil
  • @tyrosine87
    All these "games" feel like the developers have heard of the concept of fun maybe once in their life, and immediately forgot what it was all about.
  • @vizthex
    love how this went from "fully decentralized and community-run" to "oligarchy" within the span of a single sentence.
  • @blindmown
    Since this video, the floor price for wearables has gone from $250 to $5 lol
  • @mosfet_737
    this may sound a bit conspiratorial but perhaps the reason it performs so poorly is because it's also mining crypto at the same time.
  • Thank God we had a GPU shortage for this. Lose the ability to play real games, so scammers can create grift "games" instead. THe FuTUre.
  • @TheFreepie
    12:40 I think they had heard the expression "eye of newt", designed the quest around the idea of obtaining an eye of newt, realised they didn't have any assets like that, so they just used something with a big eye because that's close enough?
  • @teamworm5932
    "and it's literally a prison labor camp" is hilarious
  • @Scharrez
    Man, this really gives me that "playing second life in an internet café in the early 2000's vibe" But somehow even more primitive
  • @manwichcannon
    You would think they could at least decentralize the music in their game. Great video!
  • @spikedwallman
    this might surprise you but almost everything in decentraland are built in demo assets for several different engines
  • @TheSpoonman00
    Anything being "decentralized" as a concept is so funny to me. The whole thing just screams "we have no good ideas, you come up with something, good luck"
  • The fact that this cryptocurrency thing has a not only a policeman system but a corrupt and oligarchic political system actually fascinates me. What they need is some Tribunes of the Plebs.
  • @ldmun
    This reminded me of a guy I saw on the news where he bought some land for a crap ton of money and was like: "I'm not gonna sell it until it hits 10 million". He later sold the land for 900 bucks or something two years later lol
  • @michaelmarlow6610
    After the crazy games Josh Strife Hayes played on mmorpg series I thought I’d seen the worst. Crypto games quickly prove that wrong.
  • @asteroidrules
    Looks like a "kyari" is an NFT from a Pokemon knockoff NFT game called ethermon. Potentially a future episode on this series?
