Was this ever put on the gallery? 😊

I feel bad for the guy who got bullied because he didn't know how to play Cuphead and Doom Eternal.

very important topic. This video urgently needs more people to watch it!

I never knew this!! 🤯

I agree with almost EVERYTHING you said. I know you touched on one thing regarding changing source material and I know that instance mentioned is true but in regard to characters with decades of exposure in pop culture I do feel it’s a kind of slap in the face of the writers. There’s a right and wrong way to do things. Scooby-Doo was stained because of Velma and it’s the same with heroes. It’s okay to have a different race of an already established hero if they’re done like Amadeus Cho for Bruce Banner or Miles Morales for Peter Parker. But purposely changing those original characters and calling them the same exact version is just wrong. Other than that you hit the nail on the head and that’s the way I’ve felt for at least the last decade. No one can be happy anymore and just use multi-million dollar companies as justification for their hating.

great video ❤❤

Seems like every single game that comes out or is even announced is getting this treatment

Well nothing new. But at least he is honest about being a PoS. But the hardcore assassin creed fans of whatever will still buy everything they make. Thanks God GoG exist but unfortunately some developers/publishers avoid it like a plague blaming piracy for a low quality game or for anti consumer practices 🤣 So I am forced to buy from Steam whatever I can't find there. Steam seems like the lesser evil when compared with other things like Origin.

This is a VERY well-done playlist! Impressive soundtrack for computer games! Why doesn't this have a ton more views?!

oooooh I like this series! Definitely appreciate the analysis of the details on each cover (truly had no idea of the existence of the second iteration!) I'm with Redwolf on this one, I always thought the guy behind the books was Jake Rogers, and that lent a sort of "urgent cry for help" edge to the design I liked. That said, because we never see him in the game in any way, I always felt somewhat disconnected from him, which makes the cover a bit unnerving if one keeps the "yeah that's the dead dude" thought process intact.

This cover art is… ok. Just ok though. I always thought the color scheme of the game didn’t quite match the vibe they were going for (50s diner, brightly lit high school) but it’s fine.

I always wished the person on the cover (Jake, I thought) was in the game visually. And I have the CD-size of the final version of the cover, so less of an image to analyze.

I loved those original big boxes. My sister and I would go to Target with our saved-up money, look through the cover/booklet fold, and just take in all of the details in the few images we were given.

It needs a fourth version with the 'villain' of the piece on the front cover imo

Now we need to come up with fake lore for whose eyes it is!

Okay I know this has nothing to do with the video topic, but you're a GOAT for having Metro music at the end of video

OK, if you’d like to have a common respectful dialogue, I gladly will. As far as the last of us two goes, I bought the game. I didn’t let peoples politics influence me about the game. I personally didn’t think it was that great because for the amount of time about seven years between the two games, the actual gameplay itself was barely improved on it. All all they really added to the game was a quick event during combat. And the ability to crawl, which doesn’t have a lot of uses in the game it’s really cosmetic. Switching top topics to the toxicity now , are you open to the idea that people are just sick and tired of having all this stuff or whatever you wanna call it being shoved in everyone’s face. I would argue. It’s the forceful wokeNess and the constant stream of woke propaganda and gamers are just tired of it. People playing video games or clearly adamantly against it and yet it keeps being shoved into everyone’s games. Why do you think there’s such a negative response to it?

I love your accents! What state are you guys from?

It’s funny is it just me or are the only things that I get upset about with video games is. Boring story. It’s literally broken. Repetitive gameplay. Sequels that don’t really innovate. I just wanna have fun without wasting my money.

counter point, you dont need to play every game.

I'm agreed on the fact that more the time pass and more the gaming community become toxic. I dunno how it's look like in the others community from Sony, Microsoft and others but, as I'm myself a Nintendo player, I can admit the Nintendo community is very toxic and cringe since few years during the Nintendo Switch era. Whatever the critics that you want say about Nintendo or the Nintendo Switch even if there is a lot of argument, there is always somes bad faith people among them who come to disrespect your comment and are annoyed that you say what you think about Nintendo and their Switch despite we don't live in a country who censors freedom of expression and they throw their salt on you because they consider their idol Nintendo as a sort of God or something and if you dare to say we get too much Mario game this years while we don't have much and nothing for somes others Nintendo franchise that we still waiting since 7 years, you get harassed and insulted because it's like a blasphemy from their eyes to say something negative about their love of their life Nintendo so, sadly, the Nintendo community become more a sort of sect than a gaming community when we see their bad state of mind. And I don't even know how it's possible that the Nintendo community can be so toxic and blind because they claim Nintendo and the Nintendo Switch are more better than Sony and Microsoft (and insulte them and their consoles sometimes) and that we miss nothing on the Switch due to Nintendo who never loose innovation but, excuse me, released more than 10 Mario and Pokemon, 7 Zelda games and 6 Kirby games Vs Do nothing for made any new game, Wii U/3DS port or remastered game about Star Fox, F-Zero, Kid Icarus and Tomodachi Life game, just 3 Metroid games, 2 Donkey Kong Country port but still waiting for a new fresh game, 1 new fresh Animal Crossing and others since 7 years is called innovation? To be honnest I don't see where Nintendo do innovation exactly because, turning in circle among Mario, Pokemon, Zelda and Kirby from their bud at Pokemon Compagnie/Gamefreak and HAL while they put their legs on the table and do nothing for somes and not much for their others franchise isn't innovation but rather laziness due to the Nintendo Switch who still get a lot of good sales so we can understand Nintendo as why to bother to made more various game than another Mario, Pokemon, Zelda and Kirby when you know you can get easily a lot of money from them just by release the same franchise on it even if it's a old very popular video game port instead give a chance to another less popular game who isn't Mario, Pokemon, Kirby and Zelda itself? Plus I don't hide that, getting too much the same franchise on the Switch, end up to become borring and not much interesting anymore so, between the 6 Mario game released this years, only the new Mario Party was the most attractive Mario game I can found unlike others because we will not complaint about the fact that it's one of the rare time into the Mario franchise that you can play as a villain for the whole game like Bowser, Bowser Jr and their crew than to be locked with mainly Mario and Luigi such Mario & Luigi RPG game, Paper Mario TTYD, Mario Vs Donkey Kong, Luigi's Mansion 2... That why I don't feel anything about the next Nintendo console and I'm not excited about Switch 2 rumours so I will not buy their next console unless Nintendo give me a good reason because there was some stuff I was hoping for the Nintendo Switch but Nintendo didn't go in the right way with the fact that they get more fun to sue random people such Pocket Pair for Palworld just for somes ridiculous excuse and others than taking care about what they release on their console without forget the paying online despite the online was for free during the Wii, 3DS and Wii U era as Iwata was against a paying online politic for the Nintendo console (and the worst part it made me laught about it because the toxic Nintendo kids claim Nintendo is supperior than Sony and Microsoft but Nintendo just lowered themself in the same level from Sony and Microsoft by follow Sony and Microsoft path by made pay the online on their console as well) and the Nintendo community toxic behavior don't help as well for attract me to their next console when we see somes desesperate case like the Pokemon community who throw hate on every Pokemon games they got but still ask for more Pokemon game just for throw their salt on the next game so what the point to ask a new Pokemon game if it just for throw hate on it? It should be better to stop asking for more Pokemon games, nah? I really regret the good old Nintendo community in the past when the community was more friendly, smart, have more taste into video and less toxic than now which their are dumb like a f*ck, so toxic and don't have too much taste in video game by claim everything is bad if it's not a Mario game.

my 4 daughters and I play the old disk run games on our Mac pc in the late 90s fast forward I now have 4 grown daughters and 5 grandchildren, 2 of which are girls, so wanting to buy them games for their PCs but no CLUE where to go or how to buy downloads and since these will be Christmas presents any help will be appreciated.

*I love the smaller scale Scenario games like Outer Wilds, Forgotten City, Twelve Minutes, Life Is Strange, Dreamlight Valley👌 we need Indie devs to make more games like this and PACK THEM WITH CONTENT!!!!*

There's never too many games.

20hrs is usually enough.

I can totally relate to this. A big reason I've stopped playing AAA games for the most part since 2014 is that they're too big and bloated to connect with for over 30+ hours. Most quests/objectives outside the main quest just feel like padding. They felt like padding in LA Noire over a decade ago too. More is not better. Quality over quantity is better. Give me 8-10 great hours over 30-50 okay hours any day of the week.

We need, and we want games like red dead redemption 2, resident evil 4,5 uncharted 1,2,3 and prince of persia

wow it feels like the videos quality is equall to big youtubers

Game title 1:40 please

Games have become stuffed with “this is the biggest world” or “these are the best graphics” type ideals, there is no innovation other than “I made this look more real” so when indie games come out on steam the good ones fly to the top of the charts, and its not because they look the best, or have the most content, its because of some new fun mechanic or idea the developers have implemented or created, but then those mechanics get stolen and shoved into AAA games if they arent too busy trying to make live service single player online only games 😅

I miss 10 hour games

I find myself playing older games. I played through the ME trilogy this year back to back. No issues with getting bored. Then tried playing Andromeda again with mods to improve it. Last 20 hours and stopped. Currently playing through Dragon Age. trilogy. On DA2 now. So far not board enjoying myself. Theres only three DA games.

The Struggle is real Steam Deck DID NOT help me and my back log... just added to it I tried a couple ideas to help, for example - Installing 1 game at a time and playing that until your done... IMPOSSIBLE

Great video bro, you definitely deserve more subs.

I subscribed today, then unsubscribed once i saw the Pedro t-shirt. No harm no foul.

How dare these companies attempt to give you value for money. Bastards. Meanwhile Lego Horizon and it's $109 for 6 hour game sits there on my hard drive. Thanks Fitgirl.

I like big open world games, but I think the issue isn't so much the open world, but they just often don't add anything. Horizon zero dawn, spiderman, elden ring, tears of the kingdom there is a purpose to it, a lot to do in them and explore but maybe a bit bloated. But elderscrolls/fallout and such you want a big open world as it's part of the charm/point, your not following a story a lot of the time, the above games the story is the main goal, but in games that really need an open world, the main story is almost the side story. Skyrim's two main stories are side stories to all the other stuff you do.

I use the approach of skipping most side-content unless I'm stuck, like I need more XP or better gear or whatever. Side-content is what it is for a reason, it's probably not plot-critical and the developers didn't think it was good enough to make mandatory. In a lot of games this cuts out 75% or more of the length, and if I'm really enjoying myself and not getting bored then there's nothing to stop me from doing more of it once the story's over.

To me Spiderman Miles Morales is boring. There isn't main story, only quests on the map. Batman was much better.

Quantity over quality, thats the problem now.

theres too few games and they are too small!

outro way way too loud compared to the rest of the video, too long too imo, playing this early in the morning listening to it while making food, had to run back and lower the volume to not wake the neighbours otherwise great content

You can thank a large part of the playerbase for how games went from trying to tell a story that you can enjoy over a weekend to these mammoths of 100+h. Too often do I see players rating a game by its length rather than other critera. $x/ h matters more than actual … fun. I also miss the early 2010s games, games that didn’t require all my month’s worth of my free time just to see the credits… Spot on video though, subbed. 🎉

Games biggest issue has always been structure. Structure has developed throughout the history of games. It felt like from 97-2010 we had it close to what it should be. Most games were paced well, lasted about 8-20 hours even in games like Red Dead 1 and had consistent quality all the way through. Then Skyrim came out and changed everything in my opinion. Not that Morrowind and Oblivion were not as big as Skyrim but Skyrim was the first big experience in mainstream that popularized the Open World structure. This open world structure is flawed. Deus Ex, Crysis 1 and Shadow of the Colossus all did the open big map with player freedom much better than any open world that has a structure based around a massive map. My take since playing Ac Odyssey for the first time has been that big maps are not a good thing. You want the map to be big enough for player choice but as small as possible to keep quality and pacing up. Deus Ex, Halo CE, Halo 3, MGS3, MGS Ground Zeroes, Ocarina of Time, Chaos Theory and Dark Souls 3 are some examples that I think nailed the open big map without making you deal with a massive map that ends up hurting the game. Most of those games funny enough have sequels that fell for the massive map plague. I think it’s telling when we have acclaimed devs switching to this massive format and failing. Halo Infinite, MGSV, Botw and Elden Ring are all worse than what came before and all of them has this same format taking away from what made the series so popular. Zelda lost dungeons, MGS lost resource management, Halo lost too much to even begin listing and Elden Ring had to lower boss quality across the board, all of these had drastically worse level design than before and all of them lack variety in locations. As someone who likes all these games the maps being this big is hurting the devs ability to create incredible masterpieces like Ocarina, MGS3 and Halo 3. I think toning the size down massively and instead making multiple bigger maps is the way to go.

Wrong!

Some of my favorite games recently have been shorter single player modes like Robocop, Demon Souls, or Space Marines II . Get a good story , im in and out over the course of a few weeks , then can come back to multiplayer or trophy hunt when i revisit them. The longer games i end up giving up on halfway thru on , as i feel theyve become to repitive to dedicate continuing time to. That being said i do want to tackle Elden ring one day.

I feel the same about crafting being in every game. Also nearly every cozy-game is about farming x_x I still enjoy some but it'd be nice to have a different cozy-profession

Ok sure, but what do you think about ubisoft?

💯 preach!!
