Maneater is a game about being a big shark that eats turtles and people and other sharks. You eat license plates, and catfish, and groupers, and idiots in flamingo boats.
The controls are an absolute nightmare at times, but when you stop trying to be precise and just enjoy the blood soaked carnage, you may have a surprisingly wholesome time.
That intro is heavenly.
Jaws unleashed was the OG
That opening is on point. I hate it. And love it.
I rushed to the comment section to say there was two jokes I was expecting in this and you mashed both in the beginning. Good show, Jim. Good show.
Future DLC: Man-Eating Penguin
bro i was singin along to that…
WHOA HERE SHE COMES
So GTA meets Sharknado.
The adult in me says it’s a waste of money that might grow old fast.
The kid in me is begging the adult in me to buy it.
It took me until I saw the name appear on screen at 5:25 to realize Jim said “Scaly Pete” not “Scaly Feet” what the hell is wrong with me
I was thinking this be great with multiplayer, then remembered Depth exists. And you can be a hammerhead too. Time to go play depth..
Man, I enjoy this game. It’s different and it’s a bit of fun. The shark looks cool as all get out, and all of the different abilities/armor stuff is cool as well. It has some rough edges, but it’s a fun little game. I’d definitely like to see a manual lock on system, though!
Look forward to playing it when its heavily discounted in a summer/christmas sale
NRA: “Violent Video Games are encouraging people to be giant electric sharks that can breatheon land.”
“The game is predominantly about eating”
I want royalties.
I managed to avoid the whole “Baby Shark” thing completely – had literally never heard a note of it – until I fired up this video.
Fair play Jim. /golf claps
Took a while to figure out how to “shark” but I’m loving it.
It’s a hot mess, but one that’s fun to play.
Damn you Jim. I was trying so hard to be the only person on Earth to have never heard Baby Shark, and you shattered my chances at achieving Nirvana. I hope a shark jumps out of the water and hops to your bedroom window to defend loot boxes while you try to sleep.
Understandable that you’re forced to be a Bull shark I’d love to pick a hammer head or a great white butttt a Bull shark is pretty much one of the only big scary sharks that can thrive in both salt and fresh water. So it was mandatory for the whole setting.
“I want to be a hammerhead shark” I see Jim is a man of culture.
So let me get this straight: It’s basically like Katamari Damacy but instead of a normal story like “you’re the two inch tall son of the king of all cosmos and you have to reassemble the stars and the Moon which your dad destroyed in a drunk stupor.” it’s “you’re a shark and you eat people”. I’m not sure I can wrap my head around that.
