While I agree with that, my 2 big gripes with this franchise now is how these factions, when compared to games like Medieval 2, Rome 1, or even Empire have less variety, the factions look more like re-skins of the same 5 factions. Then the unit variety really should be broken down to 3 units that just look the same and behave the same; unlike the older total wars where unit variety mattered. I loved how in Med 2 I could play as Byzantium and battle buddy my Varangian Guards with my cheaper spear units. Flanking charges by heavy pole arm infantry while pinning the opponents Cav was so satisfying. Your units had variety in play and uses. These were things I had to learn. The worst part is this franchise is now the same washed up F###ING MOBILE GAME. The gameplay looks just like that Total War Arena BS. I'll sooner send my $60 to modders that out strip anything CA has cared to produce in the last 13 years, than this scammy company. It's sad when a game like Manor Lords, made by a single developer for most of it and doesn't focus on combat has better battles than any total war since Shogun 2.

Why play something that you see as "subpar gameplay experience", if you can have one enjoyable one from a past title...? I'm guilty of that myself, as the vanilla Rome 2 burned me so hard - and WH1 only sustained that feeling, that with what little time I've for those type of games nowadays, why would I throw it away on some shitty experience I neither like, nor take any intellectual satisfaction of overcoming?

I didn't know that TW had so much drama in its creator community, weird considering the low stakes. The nice thing about this series is that it has lasted long enough that even if it goes into the dumpster with bad releases, I can always fall back to my beloved classics of Medieval 2, Rome 2 (with DEI mod), and Attila, and I finally feel like Warhammer 3 is on the road to becoming a classic. At this point I can just dismiss any new TW game that isn't immediately interesting to me because seeing as I was introduced to the series on Shogun1/Medieval1, I'm not young anymore and don't have the time to split between 8 titles in the same franchise or play every new release that I'm supposed to be excited for but am not. So I can settle into playing the TW games I like and forget about the ones that I don't like, old or new. And I'm hardly unique; the Shadows of Change catastrophe showed that even CA is aware that their play base is aging and not really expanding, so I expect many other TW players besides myself will or have fallen adapted the same habit of playing the older titles that were actually good.

"I didn't know that TW had so much drama in its creator community, weird considering the low stakes" don't agree with framing this as drama. Used a really bad video full of blatant falsehoods as a springboard for this video. Also don't see how the franchise lasting this long is a "nice thing", like so what if it lasted 20 years when more than half of that is made up of bad releases

@@dishonorable_daimyo1498 Maybe not, I've always thought of "callout culture" as part of drama, and this video is very much a callout. Speaking of framing though, your phrasing and tone throughout the video are quite mocking and self assured, which adds to the perception of it as drama. As for the series lasting 20 years somehow being bad, that's certainly your view of it I see. However think of it this way. If a series has released 20 games over the years and half of them are bad, that means you have 10 great games that you can play basically forever. I think one of the downsides of the content creator worldview is that everything needs to either perfect or terrible with no nuance, because polarizing takes are what bring in views.

@@dishonorable_daimyo1498 No need to get angry over being called what you are, nothing wrong with being a content creator, you clearly have the mindset of one. Whether you like it or not you are helping CA sell their games, if only their older titles. It's obvious from your videos that you have an idea of a "perfect" TW game in your mind. Judging by your words and your smug attitude in the video, you won't compromise on that idea. It's a strange persecution complex you show - I think the reality is that the series has moved on, and you haven't. It may be that the newer games aren't for you anymore. The series *has* moved on and improved in many ways - units are better at obeying orders and far more responsive, factions have more involved campaign mechanics than Shogun II and earlier, and overall the games are simpler and easier to play. I think the focus has been on making these games into marketing spectacles more than actually great games, with marketing focus more on pretty battles and "inventory checks" as you call them, a term I rather like, which comes to their benefit in many places but detrimental in others. Overall I think you sound much like one of those Star Wars fans whose shtick consists of making videos complaining about Disney ruining the IP, except replace "Star Wars" and "Disney" with "Total War" and "CA", respectively.

Pikmin 2 hate is strong in this one. Wellp you enjoyed a different aspect of Pikmin. I despise time limits and thus Pikmin 2 is my favourite. I also liked the caves - mostly. Pikmin 3 I also liked, despite it being a bit easy. 1 I wasn't that big a fan of - since Pikmin 2 was my first game going then to play 1 feels like a downgrade (to me, my opinion). Pikmin 4... welll.... You already pointed out it's problems.

Pikmin 2 is challenging on first playthrough, but has the biggest drop off in difficulty on replay out of the first 3 games. The game could have been fine as a dungeon crawler if they didn't include Purple Pikmin. Worst idea to come out of that game.
@avocadothecat11 күн бұрын
@@dishonorable_daimyo1498 See... I never cheesed 2 with Purples due to me not knowing that Candypop Buds respawned. I brought them as little as possible to save them. And I genuinely think that was a great first experience. On repeat playthroughs - to me - it still stayed somewhat challenging. I never bought into the "cheese it with purples" strat. Maybe that could be seen as "self imposed challenge" but I honestly doubt many people knew about purple cheesing pre internet. And even with Purples, I still enjoyed it more than 4. Oachi, to me, is worse than purples ever were. Purples couldn't make other Pikmin Types obsolete, they still can't be in water or survive electricity. Oachi can. Oachi can also stun enemies and kill them on his own without dying. Then we have 3. Again, I didn't use any cheese strats in my first playthrough. I enjoyed it. I replayed 3 a few times I really like it. But on repeat it kind of got a bit stale. You can solve most problems with Rock and Wing Pikmin... and they absolutely massacred my blue bois. All in all, it's just my opinion, but I greatly enjoyed 2 more, even on repeat playthroughs. I have a save file of 300+ days from back in the day and I cherish it. I just liked how relaxing it could be as a child. And as an adult I like the challenge it has with actually dangerous hazards. I find it still not too easy, even on repeat. Easier, yea, but not as easy as 3 or 4. The only thing I genuinely loved more in 3 was the multitasking. It was so much better implemented. (My opinion of course. Thank you for giving your take, even if I don't agree it's inzeresting to know what others think!)

i started playing pikmin 2 before i was given access to internet and i queued into the fact that Purple are broken quite quickly. *not* using them to their fullest potential indeed counts as playing suboptimally, they almost completely trivialize the combat. I also forgot to mention the infinitely farm-able sprays that add another layer of imbalance, effectively a cheat button if you can't at all be bothered with the combat.

@@dishonorable_daimyo1498 Alright, good on you then. I didn't. Maybe I'm stupid. You really don't like Pikmin 2, got it. And fair. I am not a big fan of Pikmin 1 myself (though I don't dislike it) Also I am kind of an item hoarder... so I farmed a lot of sprays but almost never used them. It's still a symptom I have in Pikmin 4... and tbh, the sprays are still the "screw combat" button - but with Pikmin 2s hard fights it at least had a reason to exist imo. With Pikmin 3 and even more so 4 it feels like the "make it even easier" button. In 4 I started using it to flower my Pikmin only to make combat a little harder. So in the end, Pikmin 2 will probably always stay peak Pikmin to me.

With such an audience that continues to buy the new games, CA will keep making it, so then start to understand who to really blame. What made me actually laugh. Steam discussion is full of players complaining from first turn the AI is too aggressive and cannot win first few battles to survive. You know there is a diplomacy button and you could give away one settlement to buy peace treaty, even on Legendary. Zero enemies from first turn. Says it all about new audience if they can't figure that out. Your first enemy can be your ally, come on. They don't even understand how faction aversion works. From the beginning you're surrounded by potential allies anyway. Play it like USA where they get others to fight for them as proxy wars.

Rome 2 sold well initially for a couple of reasons, one being that CA had regained a lot of goodwill with Shogun 2/ FotS, and the second being it was a sequel to well received Rome 1. There was a general feeling that ETW was a "one off bad game" and that we had moved past that. Rome 2's player activity is currently middling, the only people left playing it are in it for the mods and are the only ones left after the massive exodus following that game's launch, and I doubt that they would be able to push that many copies today if they just resold Rome 2 as Rome 3.
